THE WILL OF PLTEI? THE GREAT.

SHARE MARKETS.

~----

Different versions of the will of Peter the Great,
containing an outline of the policy to be pursued
by his successors, with a view to the whole of
Europe being subjugated by Russia, have already
appeared in this journal, but at the present mo-
ment when the Emperor Nicholas is carrying out
to the letter the instructions of his subtle and fore-
sighted ancestor, it may be well to re-publish the
important document. We subjoin from a contem-
porary a translation which has been made of it
from a work entitled " Geschichie Peters des Gros-
ser," recently published at Leipsic by Van Eduard
Pelz. In this work, the will is said to have been I
transmitted by the aievalier d'Eou, French Am-
bassador at the Court, of St. Peteisburg, to the
French King in the year 1757, and to have been
made public shortly afterwards.
Various opinions (says our contemporary) have
been expressed as to its authenticity and genuine-
ness, which, at this period of time, it is difficult to
clear up. Independently, however, of its authen-
ticity, there is much intrinsic interest in the docu-
ment, as embodying principles of action which have
been notoriously followed by Russia during the last
100 years, with suet' modifications as time and cir-
cumstances and the variations of European equili-
brium have rendered necessary. The 13th rule is
especially worthy of attention at the present
moment.
