TRADE OF RUSSIA.
( From the Times of this day.)
11wo years since the quays of Odessa were laden
with the produce of the vast southern plains of
Russia. Fear of impending war had urged the
dealers in corn to buy on every side to make good
the deficiency of the English harvests. The flag 3
of all nations were to be seen entering the ports of
these isles bringing food from the great empire
which was so soon to be our enemy. What is now
the state of the Russian seaport ? Not the smallest
craft dare leave that blockaded harbour ; its ware-
houses are empty, or stocked only with the sup-
plies for a hopeless and devastating war. The corn
trade, which in a few years had so greatly increased
the wealth of the empire, is at an end, and it is
doubtful whether the return of peace would lead
to the renewal of the commerce from which the
merchants of the world Are turning to other adven-
tures. An official article has just been published
in Russia relative to the exportation of grain. As
might be expected, the writer labours to show that
the loss of his country by the present war is less
than it has been estimated by the world. If his,
facts are correct, he proves two. things—that the
wants of England have of late years been the prin-
cipal causes of prosperity to the Russian proprie- •
tors, and, consequently, that the hostility of this
country has caused the commerce of the Czar's
empire to collapse speedily and completely. At two
periods within the last ten years scarcity in West-
ern Europe has increased the exports of Russia ;
the first was at the time of that, terrible famine
which overthrew the English corn laws, and through
which as a fiery trial Ireland passed, to come forth
with the power of improvement and regeneration.
The Russian exports,which were in 1845 of the value
of 16,000,000 silver roubles, rose in 1847 to mere
than 70,000,000. Although this high amount was
not sustained during the succeeding years of
greater plenty, yet the Russian trade stillin-
creased rapidly. In 1852 the exportation was to
the value of .34,000,000 roubles; and in 1853,
the last year of peace, it had risen to 55,000,000,
partly from natural development, partly under the
influence of the deficient harvest of the preceding
year. Now came to an end this great and sudden
prosperity. In eight years the value of exported
Russian grain had increased three-and-a-half fold ;
landowners had been enriched, the State had been
relieved, material improvements, roads, canals,
&c., had been commenced, when in an evil hour
the Czar outraged the rights of nations and of
liberty, and all has come to a close. In 1854 the
export of grain fell to the value of 14,000,000
roubles, and most of this was probably shipped
during the three months which preceded the decla-
ration of war. The export at the present moment
from the whole of Russia is probably not a tenth
what it was two years since.
The prosperity of Russian trade before the war
is proved by two statements of the writer. He
says that since 1848 the exportation of grain has
followed a much mere regular course than in pre-
ceding years. This result, evidently due to the
repeal of our corn laws, shows how much this
country has benefited the Russian proprietor, by
delivering him from those fluctuations in the price
of his produce, which gave him false notions of his
wealth one year, only to Undeceive him by an ap-
proach to ruin in the next. In the second place,
it is stated that in latter years the export of other
articles did not sink as that of corn increased, but
that a regular augmentation of all branches of
traffic took place. It appears from the statements
of this publication that at no time did Russian
commerce flourish so widely, at no time was it
founded on so sure a basis, as immediately before
Nicholas ordered his armies to seize a " material
guarantee" for the submission to unjust demands.
It is now admitted that the corn trade of the em-
pire is at an end, and the Russian writer's only con-
solation is that England has suffered still more. He
says that the importations from Russia have in a
year diminished 40 per cent., while the supply from
the Danube and the East in general has similarly
been straitened by the war. He looks upon the
confidence of the English people in the question of
feed as a false security, and to alternate compla-
cency and panic he attributes the variations of
price during the last two years. Russia and Eng-
land, he says, have suffered lately,—in one country
tbe producer, from his produce being no longer ex-
portable ; in the other the consumer, who must
buy his food at a higher price. Yet, ho urges„
-Russia has not suffered so much as England, for
the price of corn there has only fallen 20 per cent.,
while hero it has risen 70 per cent.
Such are the admissions and arguments of a man
evidently-writing under official inspiration. We
may accept what he says of his own country while
denying his conclusions with regard to our own.
On its corn trade Russia was mainly dependent for
the wealth of its aristocracy and the comfort of
its people. Although England must indeed suffer
from the increased price of bread, yet her resources
are so .large, the occupations of her citizens are
so various, and her commerce so continually in-
creasing, that the augmentation in the price of
food will cause no general distress, and certainly
never be important enough to deter the nation from
war. While Russia must exhaust her resources in
vast levies of men, long and disastrous marches,
and combats on the limits of her empire, she is de-
barred from recruiting her finances by means of
commerce, and must struggle on, isolated from
Europe, with decaying, if not destroyed seaports,
with warehouses falling to pieces if not crushed by
hostile shell, until she chooses to submit to the
terms of the allies. The writer states what is well
known, that Southern Russia had in late years
been developed in a surprising manner by the in-
creasing wants of Europe and the influence of our
own free trade. The commerce of Odessa and
Taganrog was beginning to exceed in importance
that of the Baltic ports. It was for the advantage
of Odessa that the Czar allowed the mouths of the
Danube to be clogged with sand ; it was for the
good of hissouthern districts that he encouraged
the dissension and withstood the improvement of
the Turkish provinces. All for which he laboured
has now been lost in a single year. The trade of
the Black Sea has passed away, and that of the
Baltic is carried on almost surreptitiously by the
aid of a neutral. At Prussian ports is shipped
whatever is exported of the products of the Rus-
sian empire ; their price is largely increased by the
land transit which is necessary, and the demand
must correspondingly be lessened. The proportion
which remains of the Baltic trade we cannot deter-
mine, but there can be little doubt that it is only
a fractional part of the considerable and increasing
commerce which Russia possessed previous to the
war. While France and England can continue
unmolested the industry of peace, and suppprt the
contest of the year by its savings, Russia is re-
duced to fall back on whatever realised capital
exists in the country. The hoards of the Emperor,
the Church, the provincial Governments, have
almost disappeared. Russia cannot raise a loan in
Europe—all that comes from foreign countries
must be paid for in money, since her produce can-
not find an outlet. She is therefore becoming poor
at a doubly rapid rate ; her expenses are increased
by war, and by war also are her gains stopped.
We, on the other hand, pay for this contest, as we
must, in blood and money, but at home we never
look upon an enemy, our vessels aro at peace in
every sea, and the whole commerce of the country
pursues its even course. The progress of civilisa-
tion, and a deeper sense of international duties,
have prohibited the acceptance of letters of
marque by the subjects of any maritime State,
while the enemy is so blockaded in his own
waters that we need fear no such adventure
originating from his shores. Whatever indonve-
niences and privations war may bring with it to
us we know are felt with tenfold severity by those
with whom. we are contending. It is probable
that, after all, Russia will be most thoroughly
humbled by financial losses. She has opposed to
her the two richest nations of the old world, both
in earnest, and ready to sacrifice the gains of the
past and to pledge the industry of the!future to
carry out what they have begun. She, on the con-
trary, is poor, her treasury is empty, and no one
will refill it; her merchants are bankrupt, her land-
owners reduced and discontented, her peasantry
decimated and hopeless, her territory passing out
of cultivation. It is dismal to think that such

calamities have been brought on a people by its
ruler ; but the blame lies not on us. The state of
the Russian empire is only another instance of a
people expiating the madness of a monarch.

Government. This may seem a truism, but, true
as it is, we have lately had Governments that re-
flected rather the dull inertia of the system, the
disorders of the body politic, its rebellious humours
and morbid vacillations, than its pervading senti-
ment and its sovereign will. A nation so governed
could only be in the condition of sufferers by so-
called nervous coraplainto. We have bad Ministers
