The Presse of this evening contains the following
article in reference to the duties of the troops to be

sent out to C

:onstantinople

hicli England. and France will

perform is thus traced out —to circumscribe the
war at which they will be present as juges -de camp ;
to oppose all revictualling of the Russian army by
sea, in the event, les'S film' ever probable, of the
victory of the
.Russians over the Turks ; to pre-
vent, by force if necessary; the Russians from
crossing the line of the Danube, and of the

Balkans; and to maintain the European equilib-
rium such as it has been established by treaties.
The most
_affable understanding -exists, not only

between the. English mid. French ,Governments,
but also between the commanders-in-chief of the
two squadrons. • Admiral Hamelin being older
than Admirad Dundas, the latter has courteously
offered.,to place himself under the. orders of the
former. Notwithstanding the very marked recep-
tion at Olmiitz of General Guyon by the Emperor
Nicholas, the prompt return of this general to
Paris is announced." • • •

"A report of the entrance of the combined
spuadrons into the, DardanelleS has been current
to-day. - After the entrance of the frigates, the
presence of the two Squadrons would add nothing
to the significancy of the act. The fact is, how-
ever, not improbable, for the anchorage at Besika,
although good during the summer, is not tenable
during tha winter."

-It gas already been stated that more than 800
Poles have inscribed their names at the Turkish
embassy, and offered their services to the Porte, in
the event of a war with RUssia. The Preise pub-
lishes a letter addressed to. Reschid Pacha by M.
Christian Ostrowski, written in the name of his
fellow-countrymen, repeating this offer to the
Turkish Minister of Poreign Affairs.

The Cootitittionnel, after giving the telegraphic
despatch from Vienna, dated the :3d, says

"Some information which we have received per-.
mits us to add to these details. At the reiterated
request Of M. de Bruck, theinternuncio of Austria:,
the Divan met on the 25th ult , to deliberate anew
on the note of Vienna. The Divan was unanimous
in deciding .that the Porte could then less than
ever, in presence of the interpretation given to that
document by the Cabinet of St. Petersburg, accept
it, without its having first received the modifica-
tions indicated by Reschid Paella. That deter-
mination was to be- communicated to the ambassa-
dors of the four Powers. The Divan also decided
that a grand Council should be convoked for
.the
next day to examine the situation. That meeting
took place the next day, and this is what is said to
have been decided : first of all, it was resolved that
the system of negotiations was exhausted ; next,
all the measures necessary for the lasepreparatives
of defence Were regulated ; lastly, it. was - declared
that the moment had arrived for making what was
called at Constantinople ..the declaration of. war.
It is this without doubt which the Vienna despatch
indicates by the general terms, that the Divan had
come to resolutionS iii the sense of war."

tains the following :

OBTAINING FRAUDULENT POSSESSION OF
GOODS BY IVIIOLESALE-EXTRAORDINARY
CASE.

Mary Ann Sadler, who had the appearance of a domestic
servant, and was, dnring the greater part of the examination,
in tears, was placed, in, the dock, at the Manchester City
Police Court, yesterday, on a charge of having obtained, a
great quantity of goods under false pretences, &c. •
Mr. Superintendent TAYLOR, of the D division of police,
who conducted the prosecution, stated that the prisoner was
charged with going round to different shops in the town, and
getting therefrom boots, shoes, stays, and other articles of
wearing apparel, a system of plunder which she had carried
on- for a great length of time. •

Mr. Ford, a boot andshoe maker, in Oxford-road, stated
that, on the 23d of August last, the prisoner came to his
shop with a piece of paper, stating she wanted a pair of
boots for a Mrs. Roberts. He asked who she was, and she
stated she was a lady living up towards Rusholme. Witness
said he was not satisfied, and refused to let her have the
boots. The prisoner then said Miss Johnston had recom-
mended her t 9 his shop,' and, as he knew a Miss Johnston,
he thought it might be true that she knew something of the
matter. Two ether ladies in the meantime came into the
shop, and while he was looking for boots to give to the
prisoner, his shopman, Mr. Rodgers, came in, and he re-
quested Rodgers to go with "the prisoner, and bring back
either the money or the boots. Foreman Rodgers stated,
that he went with the prisoner, who had the boots, and on
getting to the house, she pretended was her master's, she
requested witness to stand a few moments at the
front door, as there was no one in but her
master and mistress, and that she would go the
back way and open the door. Witness never apprehended
the female to be a thief; she went away and never returned,
He could not positively swear that the prisoner was the
female in question, though he walked with her at least a
quarter of a mile. Mr. "Taylor, a pawnbroker, Greek-street,
Chorlton-on-Medlock, stated that a young woman came to
his place of business on the 23rd of August, and pawned a
pair of' boots. He could not identify the prisoner as the
female who did so ; nor. could his assistant, George Bell, who
was the next witness, and who advanced 3s. upon the boots.
Mr. Hardy; a pawnbroker, Brook-street, Chorlton-upon-
Medlock, stated that on the.23rd Of August, a woman pledged
a pair of boots with him, but he could not identify the
prisoner as the woman. Mr. Ford swore to several pairs of
boots produced (which had been obtained at the pawn-
broker's) as his property.
Miss Mortimer, who keeps a boot and shoe shop in Claren-
don-street, Charlton-on Medlock, stated that on the 29th of
August last, the prisoner came for some pairs of boots, stat-
ing that they were for her mistress, Miss Jones, who was
going to be a teetotaller. Witness said she would send her
sister along with the prisoner and the boots, which she did.
The sister stated that she went with the prisoner to Storey-
street, where she took the boots, and ordered the sister to
wait
.until she returned, which of course she never did.
Mary Ann Farringdon spoke to the prisoner having pawned
with her employer, Mr. Burgess, two pairs of boots, for
which ls. per pair was advanced. The shopman of Mr.
Ryder, another pawnbroker, stated that the prisoner had
pawned a pair of boots with him. Miss Mortimer, the
prosecutrix, identified the boots produced as her property.
Miss Mary Evans, (in the next ease) stated that alio was
in charge of the shop in, 133, Oxford Road, and that on the
23rd of September, the prisoner' came to the shop and said
that she was sent by Mrs. Roberts, of Plymouth Grove, for
some stays, and stating that the price was to be about 18s. and
that she wished a boy to accompany her with the stays to
the residence of Mrs. Roberts. Under these circumstances,
nine pail; of stays were given to the prisoner, and their
value was between £6 and £7. The boy who accompanied
the prisoner with the stays stated, that she made off from
him at the corner of Hyde Road, near Shakspeare-street,
taking with her the stays. Miss Ellen Taylor stated, that
on searching the prisoner at the station house, she found upon
her a pair of stays, which were afterwards identified as the
property of the prosecutrix. Four other pairs were disposed
of by the prisoner, at a shop in Deansgate, and three pairs
were found in the house of, the prisouer, Harwood-street,
Hulme, when apprehended on Wednesday.
In the next case the prisoner was charged with having
under circumstances similar to those in the preceding case,
obtained from William Cox, a boot and shoemaker, Ludlow-
street, Chorlton-on-Medlock, two pairs of boots, which she
afterwards pawned.

In the next case the prisoner was charged with having, on
the 28th of Sept., under like circumstances, obtained from
