AVBBI4N INFLUENCE AT NEW TORS.

(From the New Pork Herald, Dec. 27.)

Our special despatch from Washington, of this
morning, Windows soma raw characters of • very distin-
guished clam as amass the cabinet-makers at Washington
and elsewhere. It oppress that, looking ahead with her far-
reaching diploma* sagacity, Russia has thrown the weight
of her political agencies sad influences in this country in
behalf of General Casa foe Secretary of State to the incoming
_ .

administration, and that all the prObabilitios are in Amour of
his appointment.
The 'vantage ground which will be secured by Russia
with General Cue at the bead of the cabinet will be manifest
to every reader. General Cam is the intractable enemy of
England. Had be taken the oath of Hannibal against her,
be could not have pursued her with a more constant hostility
than that which bee illustrated his life since be has been •
candidate for the presidency. Bach a sleepier foe of John
Bull at the head of Mr. B.chaeen'e cabinet would naturally
be the very man for Rasta. His bantam in favour of
Eusela with the Prudent elect would also probably be
greeter than with any other President ; for, while Mr.
Buchanan remembers his ministerial residence at St. Peters-
burg with pretend eatidaotint, mellowed end ripened by age,
We ascent mission to Engiend cannot be recalled without
Implement sensations. The genial hospitalities of the saga-
cious Nichols, were one thing; bat the patronising airs and
diplomatic provocations of Palmerston end Clarendon were
quite another thing.
The future inflame and power of the tinted Staten
among the great neck= of the earth are nowhere better ap-
preciated than at fit. Petersburg. It was tho policy of
Nicholas to cultivate the most friendly minima with us, as
against England ; end tide is the policy of Alexander, with
• little change of the programme rot favour of Louis Napoleon.
