§ SIR JOHN HAYasked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether it is the intention of the Admiralty to remove the British Fleet under the command of Admiral Horn by from its present anchorage before the season is further advanced?
§ MR. W. H. SMITHI am obliged to my right hon. and gallant Friend for mentioning this subject. We are fully conscious of the fact that the Gulf of Ismid is at this season of the year very insalubrious for the Fleet; and the Admiral has received, or is about to receive, orders to seek a better anchorage. Acting on his discretion, he will, in all probability, remove the Fleet to Prince's Islands, in the Sea of Marmora, the anchorage which he selected on his own responsibility some time ago.
