[From the London Times, Jan. 10 } The clroutar ecently publisaed iu tae Monieur by the French gorernmext has the merit of stating with 4a- thority severel points which rested, before the apprar sos Cf thie dooument, on the tn’urmation and reasooiag of the public prews alone, In the drat place, it is 6stab- ished—if inceed guy uncertainty could exist on the polnt—that uo treaty concluded with Russia closes the vavigation of the Hlack Ses ageinst foreiga ships of war. ‘The oonvention of 1841 empowers (he Sultan to open the traits of the Hellespont aud taé Bosphorns in tie of d when that eatramce ia osce open with tue of Tarkey no farther res'riotios wastever can ¢ reid to oxlet om the navigation of the Baxine, Nevertheless, the Freseh gove'nment declares that the combined equa irons forbore to take immediate adrantace of taeir position, leat the premsture apoesraves ot their | vortls fa more immediate proximity to the Rawien ter- ritory’might have beeo taken forachallenge, And we | | } are farther informed by & posiitve referends to the dea- patches cf General Oastelbajac, * that the Cabinet of St. Petreburg had iotimated that it should ndstaia from taking the offesrive anywhere io the contest so | pily beguu with Torkey.” Having thus beso to believe that the for besrance of the Alied Po be imitated by Ruseia, and that ber admirais would avoid ® rencontre as carefully as theirs bai done, the French fleet did not exercive that active vigilance om the coaitof | Asia Minor, which the deplorable occurrence at Sinopa | bas since demonstrated to hava been nesessary. Such is the public and official language of the Franah Mialster of Forviga Affairs, acd wa presume that it will ba cor- | roborated by the reports of sir Hymiltoa Seymour and the despatches of tne British government whsa they are made knowa to us. There is n0 attompt to diegatss the fact that in this, as in former instanoes, the sllisd governments repored perhaps teo confidently, on area. and opgagemenis wh'ch Rasaie has mover seraplod et nought. Sut thera ts alco no wmbiguity ia he manner in which this breach of faith is d#iounced to ihe world. Itis impossible to wiate more ole that ® pro- mine hed been given, that France abstatasd from active operations in tbe Bleck Sea on the faith of this promisa, and hat by the attack on Sinope, this promise wos mercilessly and eoaudalously broken, Wa have beard it argued by some few persons, that after #ll the attack on Sinope was 20 move thanan act of war, and that, war be ing declared, al) euch acts are jastifiable, since its firstob- ject is cestruction. _ But this Franch cicaular oon:lusively an understanding existed waioh as thus ‘artously violated, and tast the result has deen to modify the attituce which the Allied Powsra had up to that time gesumed. Their next step is, therefore, take @ com jen «tion for the military positions alreaty ocoupied by the Russian army, and a pledge for the paci- fleation of the Kast. For this purpoze the British aad Frenoh have ordered their equadrons to ex ter the to combine their movements so as to prevent the territory or the fisg of Turkey from being again attacked by the naval forovs of Russia. Those facts are already known to onr readers in «wbstauca, but in this recapitulation of them we have oarefally adhered to ‘the precise language of the French government, end we are therefore uow in possession of vathentio accouat of the motive, the means and the ebjest of the great on- val movement, which will be made 4 #oun as the flovta can leave their anchorage with safety. At the same time, the Montteur publishes s decree call- ing inte active cervicegall the recruits liable under the seoond portion of thé military conscription for 1852. This addition to the army amounts nominally to 40 009 men, but from ihat figure some deduction must be made. Yhe avpual conscription of the Freach army is 80,09, but of that nux der it is customary in time of to call out one half only. The second portion, or reserve of the year, though rot obliged to serve immediately, re mains liable to be called upon duriog the whole pe:iod which they might have spent uader arms. Thas, on any emergency which requirea the army to be rained to\he war footing, the government has it in its power summa- rily to ‘eail out the reserves of several Prececing years, and it is usual to take the series backwards, begin ning with the most te peng of the conserip- ton §=The class now cal out is the reserve division of 1862, amounting, in aie 4 to between 80,000 and 40,000 men; bat, if aspect of effaira peouenes more oles sprereert AY war re @ reverve o and ms: Bocailoa eet fm rapid suecession. Practically, there reason to believe that the effective force of the French had bees allowed to fall, from motives of economy, somewhat below the usual standard. Tue army of Africa fs by no means as numerous ss it was when the posses at Rome mn redu ough, we has now agein been somewhat augmented. In Franos ‘the army is on what is Sseyerlpemee ti ogre establishment, and the forces of the empire availabie for foreign rervice are unusually small; but ite military or genizstion is so perfect that ins few monte, UF calling out the reserves, the army can be nearly doubled and pro- for every pi ge . The present angmeatation however, on no su al soale, and, in proportion to the reepéetive military France wad it may be sa. and naval forees of to correspond to the increase which is to be made in cur own ficet. There has been no disposition on the part of either of the allied States to use the language of menace and inti- miation to their adversary, or to the apprehen- sion of War among their subjects. On the contrary, mo- thing has been irene which the Eergenct ween) and land were not prepared to execute, and hopes of pa- oeeetion, have been ke alive by incessant sttempta at pegotiation, even after the course of events had impaired their chance of suovess. But the resolutions takea with- in the last fortaight, in London as well as in Paria, this declaration of the views of the French govei ment, and the visible increase of the armam: of both nations, termioate the long period of sus- @, which some of our more impatient con- poraries have mistaken for hesitat No one ‘who considers the nature, the extent, aud the peculiar difficulties of such » contert in the East between Rassia and the Western Powers caa doubt that to bring itto » successful termination the grea‘est States of the world will sooner or later te called upon to put forth their | brigade) whole strength. Allour accounts from St. Peteraburg contirm the impremion that ia Rassia the army, the ehurch, and the people are flinging into this war all the pational energy they possess; the upper elasses only fore- see with more alarm ita perils avd ita results. Against this passionate aggression we undertake to raise ® bar. rier, to this uncontrolled appetite we oppose the idea of motcal obligation and of lay. But jet it not be card posed that the tank is easy or the labor light. ‘The civilization and iocependence of all Europe are at stake, and, from the nature of this contest, it is one in which Rassia cannot succeed without reducing not only the East, but the Weat, into subjection. The Russian em: gore is difficult of atlack ‘om its frontiers, in the Teceases (f the interior, Its people are disci rather than debilicatcd, by ateolute government, ana the force of a single will i never more serviceable yjle. than in such a ur ior the largest a bie.

Noy, 13.--Towards two c’clook P.

Our three and « half bstteries had been divided among the centre and the Jef wing, which Isat. moreover, was covered by irregular cavelry; on the right wing, which was cc vered by two cavalry regiments, were no gang at sii. Je our centre stood Ahmed Pacha, the President of the Council of War; our right wing waa commsnded by Mustapha; cur lef’by Vely Pscha. Our position was fa- yored by some small hilla,on one of whioh Pabandir is sitwated; but this advantage was not made the most of, because, instead of forming batteries cf artillery there, our infantry took position oa them, while our guns {a the plain had no favorsbie ground at all for action, Weowe it only to the bac Raseian artillery that our loses bad not been consiceraole.

He, and not the plaintiff, is responsible for the guardianship; and it will be for him, im the exercise of an hi dis the first instance ‘rom the papers it appears that there is ag outstanding life estate in the whole premises, That es- tate, thr refore, is chargeable with the whole of nual taxes, and wita “m just and ment’ of tue sxsesaments for local improve: cording to the probable Curation of Mrs. Cosii And the Ceurt, accordirg to the principe of the ast of 26tb 1841, is bound to enforce auch apportionment, end the more so an there is a homestead on the premises, of which the life tevant hiss the sole occupancy, Nor ia this the only difficulty srising from the life te of Mrs, Cozine. 30 long as she lives, she only, in the Jangaage of the sta- “holds and is in possession of the premises.’ How, then, cen any partition be had? She is not a joint tenant or tenant in common with any per- sop; and the other parties, although jointly interested ia respect of each other, are not tensnts in common in pose seesion, The statute ie positive, that to warrant a parti- tion the «pplication must br made “by one or more of such persons” aa ehall “hold aud be in the posession of any Ismds 08 joint tenants aud tenante in common.’?
