CoNsTANTINoPLE, Sept. 24.-The Porte
has sent circulars to the powers in regard
to the passage through the Dardanelles of
vessels of the Russian volunteer fleet.
In this communication the Porte says for
several years past vessels of the Russian
volunteer fleet have been running be-
tween Odessa and Vladivostock. These
ships, being under the commercial flag
OF Russia, were granted free passage Of
the straits. 1t was found, however, the
Porte's note continues, that vessels were
sometimes carrying soldiers, and these
ships were detained owing to mistake
as to their real character. The Porte's
instructions, the note adds, given to
officers on duty at the Dardanelles to pre-
vent any further detention Of vessels of
the Russian volunteer fleet, were wrongly
construed by the newspaper press to be Il
violation of existing treaties The note
concludes with the remark that no new
measure has been adopted, and that the
old one continues in force.
