THAT RUSSIAN FLEET AGAIN.

To the Editor % The Tribune.
Sir. Your correspondent A. 2. O.. in a letter pub

two iuruaterlal errors iu tho narrative given t}
Thurlow Weed as 20 the Russian feet being un-
Ger sealed orders" when ~ was I'm our h1rbor
during she War Of the Rehellio~ tic points out
10y giving dates that M Weed should hardly have
spoken Of the fleet as having been here early IN
the Rebellion" as 10 1853 when f. was here.
and also thar Mr. Weed should not have spoken OF
the sending az that fleet here as being 'lmmeii-
ately' after the Mason and Sdell affair. which. as
4. j. C. says WAS settled June 4. 1852.
But the question Of the date when the fleet was
here f. quite irumaterial TO the question whether
