England and COnstantinople.

The latest and most suggestive an
nouncement from Europe relating to the
impending war is that, in case OF an act
ual outbreak between Russia and Tur-
key, England will at once enter and oc-
cupy Constantinople, for the defense of
which she will employ both her fleet and
her army. And TO that end, as it is
said, she is rapidly assembling her most
formidable,vessels in the Mediterranean,
and is dispatching troops to Malta in
great force in order to have them ready
to reach the Turkish capital on a few
days notice.
Such an announcement is not calcu-
lated to diminish the complications al
ready surrounding that absorbing ques-
tion now so menacing to the peace OF
Europe and Asia. Such a step on the
part of England would Immediately
change the aspect of the whole issue so
far as Europe is concerned; and, if con-
summated, will revolutionize the CON-
mercial relations between Europe and
Central Asia through Constantinople.
A movement so momentous as this can
not be regarded with indifference by
any o! the Great Powers OF the world.
There nevertheless exists o little un.
certainty as to the authenticity OF this
announcement. Its reliability is reason
ably questioned. That such a step
would be master stroke of policy is
probably undeniable; for nowhere else
but at tConstaninople can Constantinople
be protected by British arms. Before,
she contest for this city was waged in
the Crimea. But then England had
both France and Sardinia, with Turkey,
as her allies. Now she would stand
alone; and TO stand safely she must
stand on the defensive, relying upon
ultimate possession as the crowning
achievement both as to military success
and for her final indemnity from the
Turk.
We are constrained, however, to doubt
the reliability Of the statement made as
to Englands course in that regard. That
she would naturally seek to make secure
her great interests connected with
Egypt, is most obvious. And that may
well be the objective point of her Medi
terranean movements. which have beer
enormously construed to signify the oc
cupancy OF the Bosphorus and OF Con
stantinople. The former she may prop
erly do without giving otfense to an,
Power, whether the war between Turke!
and Russia becomes actual or not. Blu
the latter she can not do without assum
ing all the responsibilities of the wa
that would attend or epsue.
She would indeed become an i'm
mediate party to hostilities, and conse
