The subjoined letter ammoniates another official
denial es the part of the Russian government of the
alleged alliance with France, and intimates that all
who have subscribed to the Russian loan of
1110004
~0001. are released from their engage-
ment', and can receive back any money
paid. We have always regarded the spe-
cial and reznarkable clause introdeoed Into the
Russian loan contract, by which the solusribete were
exonerated from all further payments "in the mat
of war or of grave political complications," as afford-
ing a guarantee, apart he.. the solemn assurances of
the government, that the proceeds were really des-
tined for pucitic purposes, and not for any armed in-
tervention in Europe. It is highly probable that es
soon as pesos shall have been restored the means of
re-establishing the currency will again cocapy the
pressing attention of the government.
