the state of affairs, and does not weaken the
chances of putting an end by common mediation
to a difference which is circumscribed TO two
nations
Respecting this movement the Pays says
The last accounts received at Paris announces
that the Anglo French squadrons have crossed the
Dardanelles and penetrated into the sea of Mar
mora. We are assured that the combined fleets
will first anchor near the island of Marmora,
which affords them convenient shelter; and they
will afterwards act according to events and to the
orders they may receive. These facts need not
surprise any one. They have been long foreseen
and appreciated by public opinion. The right, in
virtue of which they have been realized, cannot
be placed in doubt.
