The English Fleet in the Black Sed-Its COMMANDMENTS
C1ief-7he Prosecution Of the War--7he French and
English Military Movements.
Admiral Dundas, the Commander in Chief Of the Black
Sea feet will is expected be recalled Mutterngs Of
Indignation against him and the Aberdeen admnstra
ton already heard in England Months ago Dundas
refused to leave Malta for Consantinople to make
monstration against Russia at the call Of Colonel Rose
the Iocum enens of the English Ambassador The British
Ministers Justified refusal, md ever since
acted with the most reprehensibe tardness
Russian vessels of and troop ships have left sebAso
pol and returned in safety while the British Admiral has
been lying asily in Besica Bay. Everything looks If
the British Minister'S playing false Thousands of
troops have been hurried or to Malta where they have
been for month kicking up their heels while the Rus
SLAMS have crossed the Danube But what be
pected from the Ministers-Absreen the chief is dead
against tie Napier, the Admiral Of the Baltic, is
too fond Of fighting TO act like Dunda but he unfor
tunately in position where he only damage Russia
without rendering any direct and immediate assistance
Turkey. Bungling and hardness the characters
tics of the English policy In the Houses Of ParA
ment the Minister'S denounced contractor named Stur
gs selling bad hay for the cavalry horses going to
the Sturgis it appears, had sold any hay
and the Ministers obliged to apologize They then
said that it named Sturgeon, who had mixed
savings and dead lamb with the fodder This was an
statement and the Ministers have again been
obi ged to apologize Again, documents have been pub
Eshed in the 1es relative TO the Russian quarrel that
denied to Parliament. Lord Aberdeen said that
Foreign Office clerk had been guilty of breach Of trust
in sending such documents to the Times This clerk de-
MED the CHARGE and Lord Aberdeen apooTsed for the
mistake The conduct of the British Minister'S il tim d
and atingscarcey one Is believed to be heartily
for war. They may dislike Russia conquering Turkey
but they are fearful the war wiz rouse the ghosts OF Hun
government in suffering the destruction OF Poland
and Hungary, is now beginning to be felt in
England. If those kingdoms in existence,
they would form mighty bulwark against Russian ag
erosion. 1t is believed that the only who would
carry the Russian manfully and honestly in the
whole cabinet, is Lsrd John RUSSELL for Pamerston,
his true character is beginning to be seen through 1t
he more than any man in tho British nation who
could have prevented the destruction of Hungary and
he neglected 10 do There is doubt that Palmer
ston is lberal and absoutst at heart He opposed
the sbrogation OF tho laws lie is against the
reform bill, he the first who acknowledged the
usurpaion Of Louis Napoleon and he is the visiting
friend Of Rosas, the late bloody Dictator Of Bucnos
Ayres while he in the most offensive manner refused
10 see Kossuth.
Every in England fears disgraceul treaty at the
end of the II Is believed that if the Russian tyrant
would only leave the Turkish Principales, that the
British Ministers would jump at peace let bygones be
bygones and make John Bull ass as he is pay his own
expenses As for France the dilatorness charac
terises its varke operations The truth is thu Emperor
OF France is In FIX. He Is ~ much afraid the arts
tocraey Of Find OF revolutionary principles In Europe
and no jealous Of one having the command OF the
army and coming home conqueror. He has been
aels TO raise his contingent TO the Baltic fleet.
There is doubt that Admiral Dunlas is incom-
Ietent and that he is gosty and his mutnou,.
The Russians IL appears have evacuated the island Of
Aand, in the Baltic and is likely they viii play the
same game with Napier that thoy did with Napoleon that
IS retreat from before him. The Russian towns on the
Fac coast are being deserted The English have made
great fuss about the facilities for carrying on war at
tie present time by the aid of steam bat as far as can
he deerned at present they have taken no real advan
tage Of those facilities How different would the great
Chatham have acted. He would long before this have
struck blow at Ru.sia that would have staggered her
There is not much confidence felt in England of the
appointments to the command OF the force in the East
lsvoritsm has been the order Of the day in making
those appointments. No yet dream OF the plan
Of operations for carrying the Both the French
and English troops being landed at Galipol The
wish OF tho public appears to be for the Anglo French
army 10 get in the of the Russians In order 10 place
the latter between the armies OF the Western Powers
and the Turkish army under Omer Pacha, and IL such
were done the destruction of the Russians would
evrabe. One Of the most curious things noticed in
fngard the vast quantities Of merchandise ship
Ping to Turkey by the jew houses supposed to he in
necton with the Jews in Russia. The funds have also
tSen kept up wonderfuly and the slightest intelligence
when reaches England favorable TO peaceable
hent on the part of Russia the funds to rally
