The British and French Ambassadors at Constantinople have been questioned,
by the Ministers of the Sultan, as to the reinforcement of the squadrons of their respective countries. The reply of Lord PoNsoNav was, that the late treaty between Russia and the Porte had rendered such a proceeding occessary. The French Ambassador roldied in nearly the same terms; and in consequence, a meeting of the Ambassadors of the other Powers %vas called, and immediately after it, orders were sent to prevent the passage of any vessel through the Straits, Nvithout permission.
