LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19.

Tine special mission from the ITnited States to
Russia will have done a very ill service to the
_ _ _

people whom it wee intended to honour if ft leads
them to believe in the possibility of a Russo-
American alliance, extending beyond civil speeches
and manifestations of purely Platonic affection.
An understanding of this limited character has,
indeed, every element of permanence. It is

hardly possible to conceive a rupture
between powers too remote from each
other for co - operation, or for frequent
intercourse. There cannot be collision without
contact. It is, therefore, very probable that the
friendship of the United States and of Russia will
be as durable in fact as it is in the aspirations of
Mr. Fox and his courteous entertainers. The

hospitalities of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and
Nijni-Novgorod mean just as much and just as
little as the civilities showered on the English

and French fleets a few months since at Cherbourg
and Portsmouth.

This interpretation is, however, far too obvious
and commonplace for the publicists of the Mos-
cow °antic and the Goloss, who, agreeing in little

else, are at one in attaching importance to the
visit from America. From the position of these
journals and their influence upon Russian opinion,
it is probable that they may represent a very
widely diffused if not a general impression. So
long as the idea of a possible intervention by the

United States in the Eastern question was con•

fined to the rayaha of Candice it deserved only a
smile. But when it is adopted by a writer
like N. KATICOFP of the Moscow Gazette,
who in spite or in consequence of
his ultra-Muscovite extravagance is probably the
most influential man in Russia, and echoed by his
rival of the Goloss, the organ of the Moderate

party, it acquires a certain degree of importance.
According to the latter journal, the Government
of the United States is desirous of purchasing an
island in the tEgean, and may possibly be rewarded
with a portion of the Turkish Empire when the
time comes for administering the estate of the
sick man at Constantinople. The idea involves a
temporary aberration from political sanity. Not only
the moderation, but the very ambition of the United
