L noticed in my last has caused no small excitement
at the Porte, as well among diplomatists. 1t
seems no one was aware of the size of the vessel,
and according to the working of the application
which made at the Porte for her passage
through the Dardanelles, vessel of small size was

probably what is large at Stamboul may look
small in New \ ork- AS America is not party to
the treaty, which fixes twentyone guns as the limit
OF the size OF any man-of-war allowed to pass the
Dardanelles, don't know whose idea of large and
small will ultimately prevail; in the meantime, the
trlgate is the lioness of the Golden Horn and un-

weight OF their dispatches, | am afraid it will be
rather difficult to move her out of the comfortable
position which she occupies in the teeth of treaties

the following '"rhe tribunals have now become a
sort OF arena in which things which cannot be
printed can be spoken with impunity. Newspaper
prosecutions are very frequent, and the advocates
who are charged with the defence Of editors, being
generally public men, employ to their utmost the
latitude allowed to the bar, not to defend their eli
ents, but to aggravate the attacks and the libels
for which they prosecuted. When such trials
take place. the benches and every standing place
are occupied by well-dressed persons who take de-
light in the polished invectives that are thus de-
livercd against public men.
