when these elements are consolidated, there can be
neither obstacle on the part of others, nor objection
on her own, to take possession of that capital. This
we have often endeavoured to im?ress on the minds
of English Ministers ; and would that the warning
be taken in time I - The withdrawal of the Russian
army in 1829 was solely attributable to the apprehen-
sion of certain annihilation by the Turks, who were
ready to rise en masse, and not, as is alleged, to the
magnanimity of Nicholas, who, on the assurance of
the English and French Ambassadors, that "if his
armies marched to Constantinople, the Sublime Porte
would cease to exist," is represented to have given
orders for their recal, or, as it might be more properly
termed, their escape. In reference to the secret article
in the treaty of Unkiar-Skelessi, for closing the Dar-
danelles against foreign
,men -of-war, it is asserted to be
purely a " defensive precaution ; as the writer
in the Frankfort Journal calls it, " a maintenance
of the independent position of the Porte, as the
Dardanelles are considered the line of separation
between the East and West T. " How the independence
of the Porte is respected by placing this line of separa-
tion in the hands of Russia, can lie explained only by
the general perversion of words in the Frankfort phraseo-
logy. The " Dardenelles are the key of my house I" said
the Emperor Alexander; and the Journal de Frank-
fort adds—" Woe to him who should be the first to
touch this key, which a great Monarch has called the
key of his house I" Is not this an admission that Russia
at present considers herself in virtual possession of
this key ? Can it be supposed that a great Monarch
would allow the Porte to keep possession of the key of
his house ? We imagine his desire of preserving Turkish
independence would scarcely extend so far. We are as-
sured that were the Dardanelles opened to all nations,
the Ottoman empire would infallibly be the victim,
so that at present we may consider Turkey as existing
only by protection of Russia—that is, " such pro-
tection as vultilres give to lambs—covering and de-.
vouring them." The article bears too undeniable evi-
dence of Russian origin to admit a doubt of its paren-
tage : a guileful and despotic spirit pervades it from
beginning to end. The writer admits the Dardanelles
to be, the key of Europe, and concludes, in allusion
to any attempt to gain possession of them, in these
words :
" Useless efforts I Vain words I The Dardanelles are
open to the commerce of the world.. This is all that is re-
quired by civilization and the real interests of all nations.
What do you want more ? Do you want the keys ? Rather
do homage to the wisdom of the Governments which have for
ages found means to spare Europe all the blood that would
have been shed if they had alternately had to occupy this
strait, to hold and then lose possession of it."
Insolence unparalleled I Is Russia to be arbitress
of the commerce of the world, and to dictate what is
best " for the civilization and interests of all nations ?"
Is she to hold the key of the destinies of Europe, and
are we, when demanding restitution, to be told to do
homage to her wisdom ? The whole question hinges
on the solution of these queries, and th# longer that
solution be deferred, the greater will be the danger to the
general rights and amelioration of mankind. If English
and French Ministers have not sufficient astuteness
to settle the problem by discussion, like the Gordian
knot, it should be at once fearlessly solved by the
sword.--Morning Advertiser.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHAL L.

Yesterday William Twisden was brought up for re-exa-
mination respecting his acquaintance with Barnes, a burglar,
who, being disturbed in a warehouse in Lawrence-lane,
which he had broken into, attempted to let himself down
from the roof of an adjacent house by clinging to the water-
spout. Losing his hold when he was half-way down, he
fell upon the pavement, and sustained so much injury on
his head that he is not expected to survive.
Twisden was detained merely because he was the first
person who applied at St. Bartholomew's Hospital to
see Barnes ; and as no account of the affair had appeared
in the newspapers, it was thought strange that he should
know where to find him, without knowing what enterprise
he had been engaged in.
Mr. Forton, one of the occupiers of the warehouse, who
was robbed of about W., admitted that nothing had been
discovered to connect the prisoner Twisden with the of-
fence, but he should like him to prove where he was from
twelve o'clock on the night of the robbery till three in the
morning.

Twisden called his son, who swore that his father was at
home.

Air. Alderman Timex discharged Twisden, who said be
should be forthcoming at any time.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday Sarah Hart was brought up, on a warrant to
answer the complaint of her husband.
It appeared from the evidence that he resided at No. 8,
Marylebone-lane, and worked at Mr. King's floor-cloth
manufactory. The defendant was in the constant habit
of annoyinc, him at his work, and wishing him to return
home wit Cher, threatening to murder him if he did not,
On the previous morning he returned home to breakfast,
after which he was going away again, and about bidding her
good-by, when she immeiately ran to a drawer, and seizing
hold of a razor, ran up to him, and saying " We shall never
sever again," attempted to draw it across his throat. He,
however, caught hold of her wrist and prevented her. He
feared that his life was in danger, and procured a warrant,
and only wished for a separation. He attributed her vio-
lent conduct to jealousy.
The defendant in reply said she loved her husband, and
would not part with him, but did not offer any explanation
for her strange conduct.
The warrant was then ordered to stand over, to see if
they could arrange matters ; if not, the defendant will be
held to bail.
