That, however, The future success Of the democratic

The Dardanelles.

The old gates Of Janus were opened
when Rome was at war; and their mod
ern prototypes, the Dardanelles straits, are
open only when a state of war makes trea-
ty stipulations void, and the Porte deems
il to be necessary to admit his allies through
them to protect his capitol. The accounts
we have are that they are now open for
the passage Of the British and French
fleets.
The Dardanelles, from which the strait,
or Hellespont, derives its name. are four
strong castles built opposite to each on the
European and Asiatic coasts; and are the
keys of Constaniinople. Two Of these
castles, the old castles, were raised by
Mahommed H.. soon after the conquest Of
Constantiho ople, in 1853; the other two. the
new castles. were built in the middle OF the
Seventeenth century, to protect the Turks
against the Venitians. The latter COM
mand the entrance to the Hellespont, and
the distance from each is about two miles
and quarter; in four hours sail up the
strait, are the old castles, which are about
three quarters of mile apart. These are
well mounted with formidable batteries.
Ali along the European shore to the Mar
mora, the aspect of nature in its rugged
ness corresponds with the irown OF the
guns; but the scenery on the Asiatic shore
is beautiful. The region abounds, too, in
places famous in classic story. Here it

He woke at length. A nurse and physi.
