favour of the Greeks, so long suppresied by the
late Autocrat, is represented as bursting forth in
every quarter with a degree of energy which por-

[NEW TIMES.I
Wire yesterday received the Paris Papers of
Saturday. There is nothing remarkable in them
exaept an attempt in the Constitutionnel to excite
a new alarm respecting Russia. The writer pre-
tends that it.. is from " the Partizans of the old
Russian Policy," that a disturbance of the present
order of things is to be apprehended. This is
merely a colour put on the late insurrection whiCh
was certainly not prompted by any views of
Russian policy, either old or new, but by a secret
conspiracy of individuals infected with the mania
of revolution. These persons Were most of them
Germans, or Russians, who had been privately
enrolled in some of the German Associations. It
is remarkable, that the numerous failures of such
plots in recent times should not have taught the
members of the-Societies prudence and reserve.
The Constilutionnel speaks of disaffection extend-
ing to the Army of the Prot!' ; but we are
strongly of opinion that the only kind of disaffec-
tion from which uoy serious consequences were
to be dreaded existed at St. Petersburg'', and
even there the number of the agitators appeared
to be so limited that little difficulty was expe,
rienced in crushing the plot. Tim Russians, as
a nation, are not sufficiently advanced in civi-
lization:to afford Means of action to the agitators.
There are few public Journals; there are no pub-
' lie meetings; there are no political assemblages.
The nation, us a body, seem incapable of entering
into arguments on the. Rights of Man and the So-
vereignty of the People ; and the leaders of. the late
insurrection had too little perional influence to
carry with them any large portion of the population.
The language of the Emperor Nicholas's Pro-
clamation must not be lost sight of. lie threatens
the guilty with punishment, in .a tone which
spews that he is in earnest. In other parts of
Europe, where a plot has been crashed-, it has been
'aeldern indtpd that any Person 'of dititinttion has
suffered. A form of condemning the absent par
contumace has been gone through, and in a few
years the condemned criminal has been seen
restored to his home, his rank, and his fortune.
This is cheap treason ; but we are mistaken
if the conspirators get off so easily in Russia. As
to the deluded soldiery, whosoronly idea was that
of obeying Constantine the Proclamation is equally
explicit in stating that they shall not he punished.
In both cases a lesson will be read to the Russian
Nation which will not soon be forgotten. The
effect of the whole on, the foreign policy of the
new Emperor must, we think, be favourable. I t
will add to the disposition which he already feels,
and announces, to tread in the steps of his brother
Alexander.
