FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France of Sunday.)
Our London correspondent informs us that the
British Government has formally declared that it
would not suffer the blockade of the Dardanelles to
be extended to the coasts in the vicinity of that
strait. It is not thought that this determination of
the British Government can lessen the good under-
standing which exists between the Government of
his Britannic Majesty and that of his Imperial Ma-
jesty; for it is asserted that the extension of the
blockade of the Dardanelles was not authorized by
Russia, and that this act of Admiral Ricord, who has
taken upon himself to establish the accessory
blockades, is disavowed by his government. The
news which we now announce is perfectly consistent
with what we published some time ago, founded on
letters from S-. Petersburgh. We ought, however,
to have observed, that we never stated, as the Eng-
lish Courier has pretended, that the blockade of the
Dardanelles had not been extended to the neigh-
bouring coasts : we stated, or rather our-correspond-
ent did, that the Russian Government had no in-
tention, or no longer had the intention, of establish-
ing the accessory blockades, which are now, in fact,
disavowed.

As to the blockade of the Dardanelles, our cor-
respondent has not stated that it was to be raised,
but only that it was imagined that its inutility, and
the irritation it produced, might eventually determine
the Russian Cabinet to put an end to it.
An article in the Times is doubtless in recollection,
wherein it was stated that the British Government
would never permit the extension of the blockade to
take place. Now all the Morning Journals, in
translating this article, have omitted the word exten-
sion, so that their readers must have thought that it
was the blockade of the Dardanelles itself which the
British Government, through the channel of the
Times, 'declared that it would not tolerate. But
this blockade has been recognized already by England,
and will, doubtless, continue to be respected, though
it cannot be disputed that Russia, in establishing it,
has contravened, not a convention, it may he granted,
but certainly au engagetnent,—a promise which
should have had the force of a formal treaty.

PARIS, JUNE 13.—Foreign politics have offered
but few new facts during the week. Since the so-
lution of the great Catholic question, the English
Parliament seems to repose. No explanation has
yet been given on the state of foreign relations, but
the articles of the Courier answering to the Times.
" that there was no motive to change the situation
of the three great Powers, with respect to the treaty
of the 6th of July," have made a certain sensation
We have no important news from the theatre of.
war ; the Sultan has gone to his camp ; the army of
the Grand Vizier is concentrating behind..Shutola,
while the Russian army is preparing for decisive
measures on the left bank of the Danube. Till Si-
listria has fallen into the hands of the Russians, we
must not expect any great military movements.
On the whole, foreign politics are stationary.
However, we cannot fail soon to receive important
news from the East.

PARIS, JUNE 13.—The Mercantile Courier of
Cadiz publishes an official notice, to warn merchant-
ships to sail with precaution, because the Moors are
fitting our six corsairs at Oran.

The Master of the Rolls is about to sit, in
the ensuing Term, in the morning at Westminster.--
Morning Paper.
A few nights since the house of Mr. ALDER-
MAN, the Common Councilman of Cripplegate-ward, and
jeweller, was broken open by a gang of thieves, who made
an attempt to get at his stock of jewellery. The house
and shop is considered one of the best guarded in the me-
tropolis. The thieves failed in their attempts to pick the
lock of the front door, and they could not succeed in
forcing it. They, however, forced up the iron-grating of
the area, and made an opening, by means of which they
got into the kitchen, and from thence to the upper part of
the house. The internal fastenings of the shop, it ap-
pears, were too strong to yield to any of the exertions of
the thieves with the instruments which they brought
with them. Had they got in, their booty would have
been the most considerable of any that has been acquired
in the city for some time past by the " family men." All
they got was 10 silver spoons, and some table-linen of :
in-
considerable value, which was left about in the kitchen.
1 Several houses have been recently robbed in the city by
means of the entrance gained by forcing the gratings of the
areas, the lead fastenings of which mostly yield easily. The
lower part of the premises is in general the worst secured,
as reliance is placed on the massive strength of the iron
bars of the gratings.
