1t appears from these returns that setting
aside the whole sailing fleet of England, we
have at present afloat Ii steam line ofbattlc
ships, soon to be increased to 20, guard-ships
with auxiliary steam power, and Z frigates
fitted with screw-propellers, which may be con-
sidered, with one or two exceptions, the finest
vessels ever launched of their class. Of these
screw line .ofbattle ships, only two 1.-THE Sans
a,a,ea and the 4ydmemnon) are in the Turkish
waters and the former of these two vessels does
not, we fear, altogether answer to her name.
The greater number of those already in com
mission belong to Admiral Corbys division,
which is termed by the admiralty the western
squadron, though it may be considered to he
on an experimental cruise; and four are still
waiting for commission. So that, independent
of the British squadron now in the Bosphorus
that portion of the feet which is not in the
ought to be transmitted to the Russian court
and it would seem that an impression exists at
Vienna that the Austrian and Prussan cabi-
nets are to tender their good Offices, in this part
of the negotiation, in preference to France and
England. 1t can hardly be conceived that
such pretension will seriously be maintained,
for the very essence OF the proposition rests
ON the combined action OF the four powers. If
there be one principle more plain than another
throughout this transaction, it IS that we are
contending for the joint action Of all the great
European powers in the affairs of the east and
the instructions adopted in common at Vienna
Mediterranean consists of an equal number of
newer and more powerful ships than those
under the command of Admiral Dundas.
This result is already creditabe to the ad-
miralty, and it has been accomplished within
the last few months on what is still n peaee
establishment. Among those politicians who
distinguished themselves at an early period of
the dispute now pending in the east, by loudly
recommending prompt appeal TO arms, there
may be some who will perceive with satisfac.
ton that we are far better prepared to meet
such an emergency at the present time than
we were last spring.
At that time the Baltic was open, our naval
resources were not collected, and our coasts
were comparatively undefanded. We have now
had time to prepare against the danger Our
