THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA AND HIS
PECUNIARY RESOURCES.

(From the Press.)
Early in the spring, when the Russian movements in
the East began to attract public attention, and so prove
inconvenient to Lord Aberdeen and his friends, it was
the fashion of that "safe" statesman to speak with com-
plete confidence of the result, observing always that the
Emperor of Russia was a man of honour, whose word
could be never doubted, and whose purpose could be
never prejudicial ; in short, " a real prince ;" intimating
thereby that some other Emperors were not real princes,
were not men of honour, and that their word was not
to be trusted.

As affairs prOgressed, the tone of Lord Aberdeen
began to change. First of all it was circulated by the
Treasury runners that the Emperor of Russia was
" mad ; ' then it was announced, and by Lord Aberdeen
himself, that the Emperor was " ill, very ill." Now,
as neither of these delicate announcements have
"settled the Eastern question," it is suddenly dis-
covered that the Emperor is something much worse, at
least in England, than either a lunatic or an invalid, and
that he is a pauper. His Majesty is so hard up that he
is obliged to close his account at the Bank of England,
and force a remission to St. Petersburg of so paltry
a sum as 600,0001. or 700,0001. ; although more
than half that amount will be wanting, in a very few
months, to pay the Russian dividends due in London.
Indeed, it is even added that the Emperor meditates,
under some false pretence or other, raising another loan
of five millions sterling in our market.
Now, in our opinion, there is nothing more silly than
unjustly to depreciate and disparage an opponent. We
oppose the Russian system because we believe, if suc-
cessful, it would be dangerous to the independence of
Europe, and fatal to the empire of Great Britain, but
we oppose that system on political grounds, and political
-grounds alone. -We are not prepared to demonstrate
that the moral iniquity of invading the Principalities is
more heinous than that of the invasions of Algiers and
Afghanistan, and, instead of believing that the Emperor
of Russia is mad, we, on the contrary, are of opinion
that he is a most able prince, entirely worthy of his
position, and very likely to succeed in effecting his pur-
pose, if he be opposed only by such statesmen as "anti-
quated imbecility" and "foreign conspirators."
But of all the absurdities now afloat the greatest is
that which would persuade the people of this country
that the Emperor of Russia is a pauper. There are
some facts, rather different from those which are
served up by " the organs," but which, nevertheless,
may be relied on. Since the month of August past the
Emperor of Russia has withdrawn from English securi-
ties in the Bank of England and the city of London, not
a few hundred thousand pounds, but a sum exceeding six
millions and a half sterling. During the same period
M. Kisseleff, at Paris, has withdrawn from the Bank of
France a rather larger sum. A considerable portion of
these thirteen millions sterling and upwards have been
transmitted to Holland, where the Emperor possesses a
treasure superior in amount to both the sums drawn
from London and Paris. Now are these by any means
all the personal resources of his Majesty ; and it should
be understo.od that these are not treasures of the State
or nation, but of the man and the monarch. The Em-
peror can carry on two campaigns on a great scale
without increasing the taxes of his subjects. What other
monarch in Europe or Asia can say the same ? With a
regularly-increasing revenue, also, the whole national
debt of all the Russias does not nearly amount to double
one year's interest on the 'United Kingdom. We some-
times think that these "crumpling-up" stories of the
resources of Russia and its Prince are purposely circu-
lated by Russian agents to deceive the " Cockneys of
London and Muscadins of Paris."
