Constantinople, August 1. The immediate question of interest here at present is whether Turkey is right or wrong is

Fleet to pass through the Borphorus and Dar danelles. The large questions as to the exer cise of Turkish rights over the Straits are also forcing themselves upon attention. The exist ing law on the subject is fairly clear. The

ing that the Black Sea is to remain open as in the past to the merchant shipping of all; nations, abolishes the article in the Treaty of Paris restraining Russia from 'building a fleet No one has, there! and arsenals in that sea fore, contested the right of Russia to build a Black Sen. Article 2 of the same Treaty of 1871 reaffirms the principle of the closing of the Straits, as it had been established by a convention which formed part of the Treaty of Paris, and only allows the Sultan to permit ships of war to pass in time of peace, when he judges that their entry is necessary to safe guard the execution of the stipulations of the Treaty of Paris. Here; however, a somewhat curious limitation is worth nothing. In the Protocol of the Berlin Treaty in 1878 is record ed a formal declaration by Lord Salisbury on behalf of the British Government that its obli- gationis in regard to the Straits are limited to the agreement with the Sultan-that is, as understand the phrase, are not taken towards the other Powers.

Now, what are the ships of the Volunteer Fleet? They are vessels-and magnificent ones, too-which are apparently intended for [783 commerce. That they are also intended to be employed as transports in time of war has NOTICE.
