RUSSIA AND PERSIA.

The Nord ot Brussels wattles a leading article on
the recent statement that a Russian army, 40,000
strong, wee prepared to march on the Persian
frontiers. The Nord, whilst expressing its doubt of
this intelligence, alludes to an article in the treaty of
Golisiao, wherein Russia engaged herself to defend
Persia io any cam of urgent necessity, and it thee
states the Intentions of the Russian government:—
''Doubtless the Shah of Persia might, in the
event of hie being attacked, claim the extend=
of Article 4 of the tryst, of Goliatan, and we are
convinced that Ramie would exercise her influence
in order to establish a good understanding,
in which all parties have an equal stake. We,
moreover, believe that this result is now what she is
seeking to bring about at Teheran. Tne seams
which is mid to be directed egaicst England by
Russia on the Persian frontiers could therefore alone
become a reality in the event of England forgetting
bar ancient relations of good friendship towards
Persia, and maintaining towards the latter a threat-
eniog and hostile 'Winds. Then, and thou aloes,
do we believe that Russia might be forced to fill
with loyalty towards the Shah the part which
England has pretended to play in the Eastern war
with respect to the Sultan."
