LONDON:
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1840.

N0I)(34, we believe, either felt or expressed any
surprise at the reading in the Times of yesterday
I";
''tempt to prove that a coalition between the
11‘:4ters and the Tories is inevitable, or has si-
tlY taken place. The public have long talked
t-l"fil
such a thing, because they have seen something
a necessity for it, Neither party possesses a
tifejent majority to carry on the Government ac-
:rding to the adopted principles of Parliamentary
uPremaeY• Both are opposed to the democracy,
41304 both are assailed by it. Every day that is
417°11141g more powerful, and more separated from
v the statesmen and leaders of both parties. if its
:lee be nothing in Parliament, it is loud in the
traire. Separated into contending factions, and
tobtally alienated from the democracy—at least of
the towns, which is concentrated and powerful—
e aristocracy must hasten its own decay by con-
-4tl°lting its divisions, and can only hope to pre•
r‘'e i its power by union. It seems, therefore, n
the nature of things that the aristocracy shoult, e
oiet their differences, and unite to resist the on-
;ard
march of the democracy, and hence no one
tilt surprised at its being announced that a coali-
l°n"culd take place.
Above all things, the aristocracy must desire to
see
at ; stropg Government ; while a House of Lords
arrat„ with the House of Commons, and the
wZe of Commons nearly equally divided, is
e-nes3 personified. Lord MELBOURNE has
a-ver been distinguished for grasping, personal
11bition. He took the Government from possess-
bng the confidence of a great party, and, honoured
I Y the confidence of her MAJESTY, he has re
anted it ; but he cares little, we believe, for office
se ~y
ers , ona
11 and would very readily give it up to
eure the power of the aristocracy, to which he is
more attached, and the quiet of her MAJESTY, to
/;.11°111 h© is deeply indebted. Undoubtedly the
Ifieulties of the Government are increasing. Lord
:11. ELnouRNE can gain no strength from the Ra-
te'ls• His own disposition, and that of his aristo-
cratic friends, would make a further infusion of
radicalism into his Cabinet a source of weakness
ir birn ; and we only do justice to his character
when that, as he sees the time approaching
wlien he must retire from his troublesome office, he
should endeavour to establish the strongest Go-
vernment any coalition can promise.
Since the settlement of the Canada Government
question, and the settlement of the Irish Munici•
_pal question, to accomplish which, be it remembered,
both parties joined, there are really no differences of
"Y importance between the !Ministers and the mode-
rate Tories. The ultra-Tories hate Sir ROBERT
Piztn
and his friends
quite as much as they hate
the iqinisters.
rherewas, indeed, a great fight at
the
fhare close of the Session on the subject of
registration
v , but that was more a party
than a substantial difference on prin-
Cipi .We see
no insuperable obstacle, therefore,
to a coalition, End
we recognize its possibility, or

even its probability, with a view to prepare our

readers for the occurrence.
In the present state of Society much may be
said by statesmen, particularly by those whose
fears are stronger than their principles in its favour.
In the claims of the democracy, and in the demands

___e labourer, they may see danger to property,
and the overthrow of social older. While merely

listening to the voice of self-interest, or the admo-
nitions of ambition, they will fancy they are com-
pelled by a sense of duty, and that enlightened
patriotism calls for a sacrifice of consistency.
Above all, confounding, as they generally do, the
Church with religion, and saying, if not be-
lieving, as too many of them do, that the Priests
ara their best auxiliaries, and the key-stones of so-
ciety, they may deem it a sacred, social, and religious
duty, to unite at whatever cost of principle, to de-
mi the Church against its numerous assailants.
It is now admitted. on all bands that the Church
is the main pivot of our domestic policy. To pre-
serve it and its 'revenues in the hands of the aris-
tocracy must be an object of constant solicitude.
Six millions a year is a very handsome sum to'have
the disposal of. It is of no consequence that
statesmen know perfectly well that the power of
the priesthood is not social order, and that the
priesthood know equally well that the Church is not
Christianity ; both classes, from strong motives of per-
sonal and pecuniary interest will endeavour to make
the public believe that religion and the public
welfare require the preservation of the Church. In
looking over any account of the Peerage, we see an
adequate reason for this. The BEDFORDS and
the DEVONSHIRES are patrons of livings as well
as the R UTLANDS and NEWCASTLES. At pre-
sent the Church is attacked by the Catholics, by
the Dissenters, by the Freethinkers, by the Owen-
ites, and by many members of the Church, who are
sensible of its enormous corruptions. Political
science and religion both condemn it. If it can be
upheld even for a little time against so many enemies,
it must be by a union of both branches of the aris-
tocracy. We believe they are sensible of this. As
the Times shows, Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the
Whigs have succumbed to the Church. They have
made their peace with it. They have by some re-
forms improved its political utility, and they can
now, with a better grace, side with STANLEY, and
GRAHAM, and PEEL, in defending it against the
demands for further change. The view of danger
to the Church from a continued division amongst
the aristocracy must have contributed to beget the
conviction that a coalition is necessary.

In admitting the probability of such an occurrence,
and stating the real motive for it, and pretexts on
which it will be justified, we place our readers on
their guard. Such a coalition will not be for the
interest of the public, but for that of the aristo-
cracy. The intention will be to strengthen the
Government against the people, and enable it to
resist their demands. Unfortunately our system is
founded on a mistrust of the people. The great
bulk of our laws, and the mode of administering
them, proceed on the principle that the people must
be coerced into order. They were framed before
the social dependence of man on man was deve-
loped, and they make no allowance for the social
order which is the result of the laws of nature. All
our statesmen, therefore, are imbued with the neces-
sity of upholding the principle of coercion, and
now, being painfully impressed with their individual
weakness, they are disposed to unite in its defence.
Great has been the progress of democracy during
the last thirty years, but the proudest homage yet
paid to it, is this admitted necessity of union
amongst the aristocracy to keep it in check.
An Evening Contemporary endeavours to make
it appear that the article of the Times is dictated
by doubts as to the policy it was most profitable to
pursue. The Globe says it is only a feeler. But
the opinion has been for some time entertained
that coalition was unavoidable, which was much
strengthened by the conduct of both parties towards
the close of the Session. The appointment of
Dr. SHUTTLEWORTH, the conduct of Mr. O'CON-
NELL, who is endeavouring to strengthen his own
party in opposition to both Whigs and Tories,
tends to confirm the opinion. But even the
supposition of the Globe goes to the same
end. If the coalition were not probable it would
not give the Times credit for studying its.
own interest, by stating that it is. Should such a
coalition take place, the conduct of the Liberals
must necessarily undergo a great modification. To
prepare them for that, we have thought it right to
insert the article of the Times, and to state that it
may turn out to be true.

The following article on the Treaty of London
occupies the first place in the editorial columns of
the Morning Herald of this day :
The Correspondent who sent us, yesterday, the sub-
stance of one of the articles of the quadruple treaty,
communicates the following additional particulars :
" I gave you, yesterday, the substance of the main
article of the quadruple treaty, relative to the exclusion
of ships of war of all nations from the Bosphorus and the
Dardanelles, That article is not to be found in the
body of the convention, but in the supplementary part,
which contains other matter equally important.
" The additional articles are—
" I. The closing of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles.
"a. The permission of auxiliary troops (Russian of
course) to come to Constantinople, and to withdraw
when their services shall be no longer required.
3. The number of these troops to be fixed by the
common accord of the allies.
" The Porte and Great Britain are authorised to
commence operations against Mehemet Ali, without
waiting for the ratification being exchanged.
" The manner in which the additional article clos-
ing the Bosphorus and Dardanelles to all ships of
war was brought about is this :—ln the Council Lord
Palmerston proposed that for the more effectual
protection of Constantinople, Russia should be autho-
rised to send ships of war to the Bosphorus as well as
a land force to Asia Minor. Lord Melbourne refused
his consent, and exhibited a great deal of temper against
his Foreign Secretary, when the latter.suddenly proposed
the closing of the Bosphorus and Dardanelles to armed
shi:)s of a'l nations.
" The Council failed to see that the whole Russian
policy was accomplished by this manceuvre, as it is
only by the presence of her fleet that Britain could
counteract the ascendancy of the Emperor at Con-
star& nople."
We repeat that we give this inform ltion not on our
own authority, but on that of a well-informed Corres-
pondent.
We were enabled yesterday, on excellent autho-
rity, to announce the incorrectness of the statement
that the Treaty of London contained any article
for closing the Straits of the Dardanelles against
ships of war of all nations, and thus placing the
Turkish capital under the guardianship of Russia.
The Herald's Correspondent replies in substance
that the article is not in the body of the Treaty,
but is comprised in the supplemental articles which
are intended to be kept secret. We had heard
before that some secret articles were appended to
the Treaty, with a view to provide against possible
contingencies which it might be dangerous for
diplomatists to pronounce in the popular ear of
Europe, as an insurrection in Italy and the like ;
but common sense tells us that the closing of the
Dardanelles could not possibly be classed with such
a category. What could be more absurd than to
pretend to make a secret of the only article in the
Treaty which all the world must know in the event
of a shot being fired in the Mediterranean ?
Would not the closing of the Dardanelles at once
reveal the purport of the secret article authorising
such a proceeding ? The absurdity of the He•
rald's statement is its best refutation. As to the
report of what took place at the Cabinet Council,
