RUSSIA AND THE EASTERN QUESTION.
IST. PETER.SI3I7IO3, MAIM 5.
Four despatches, principally addressed to Baron
lirunnow, the Russian ambassador in London,
have been published here to-day, giving a sketch of
the attitude and policy of the Russian government
in the Eastern question. They are preceded by a
preamble giving as the reason for the unusual
course taken in publishing them the serious nature
of the present state of things and the lively in-
terest taken by the Russian nation in its co-
religionists. In the first despatch, dated 20th
August, 1866, the government of the Czar pro-
poses collective action on the part of England,
France, and Russia, in order to arrive at a peace-
ful settlement of the conflict in Candle, pointing
out the danger of indifference to the questions at
issue, and of delay in bringing them to a
solution. The second despatch, dated 17th
September, of the same year, explains that
the views of the Russian government on the
Caudian question are of an entirely disinterested
nature, and lays stream upon the necessity of satis-
fying the legitimate demands of the Cretans. The
third despatch, of the 27th October, contains a
statement of various efforts made by Russia in
favour of the &miens, but which had been with-
out result. The fourth despatch, dated 23rd
November, points out that, in the opinion of
Russia, the most favourable solution for promot-
ing the well-being of the Christian populations
would be the establishment of their autonomy
under the suzerainty of the Porte. The Josina/
Sito . Petersbonrylo, referring to the above-men-
tioned documents, says :—" Since these despatches
were written, events have modified, not the prin-
ciples of the Russian policy in the East, but the
application of these principles, and have led to
fresh negotiations."

• will be supported by the SeiTle and (as I ant told) I
the government ; but I do not think he will
succeed.
The statement that M. Thiers was about to be-
come the political director of a new journal is
totally unfounded.
The Council of State has adopted the bill pre-
sented by the government, offering 400,000 fr. to
M. de Lamartine as a national recompense. It
will be brought before the Corps Legislatif very
shortly.

STEEPLECHASING BY UNGERGRADCATE4. —The
following edict has just been issued by the autho-
rities at Cambridge University: " Whereas it is
highly injurious to the discipline and good order of the
university that students of the university should take
part in steeplechases, notice is hereby given, that if any
peraoa in Wain payillari shall ride in or otherwise pro-
mote a steeplechase, he shall be liable to the punishment
of rustication or expulsion, as the case shall appear to the
ice-Chanoslior and heads of colleges to require." The
above has been issued in anticipation of some approaching
steeplechases in the vicinity.
THE PRINCE OF WALEN IN THE HUNTING FIELD.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales hunted with her
Majesty's pack of buckhounds yesterday. The Prince,
accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Koppel, went to
Windsor by the Great Western Railway, arriving at the
Slough Station at 10.50 a.m., from whence be proceeded in
her Majesty's shooting break and four to StokeComnion,
the place appointed for the meet. There a goodly muster
of the well mounted in scarlet bad already assembled. in-
cluding Earl Colville, the noble waster. After a friendly
recognition by the Prince to many gentlemen present,
his royal highness, who also was attired in scarlet, mounted
his hunter and rode to Halgeriy, where the deer was
uncarted, and went away across Stoke Common. When
the hounds were being taken to be laid on the scent they
viewed the deer and broke away. After some ringing
runs in Black Park, the hounds were whipped off and
taken back to Stoke Common, a here an untried deer was
uncarted, which gave but a short ringing run and was
taken near the One Pin, at Hedgcrly. The field then
returned with the pack to Black Park, and, after drawing
the deer was found by Mr. Boyce lying down. In a short
time it was got away, and went through the woods on
to Gerrard's ernes, down to Chalfont. and mussed char-
font Park. There a very remarkable occurrence took
plaer—a fox joining the deer, which he accompanied a
considerable distance, after which lteynard took leave of
his oumpanion and got safe away. The deer afterwards
ran to West Hythe and back to the Fisheries, and on to
Harefield, where the Prince left and returned to town.
