From tBr Salem Gazette
IT appears by The London papers that fears
are entertained that the Englih po6edions in
Kadia may be invaded by the f" HufOcrGt Of RpC
.Jfo." I therefore fend you the following article
extracted from a publication OF Mr.. EATON,
who was fometime diplomatic agent at St.
Peteriburgh, from St. James. The author in
forms Us that it is an

I" When the Britih feet was about to fail
for the Baltic Tbg qua5 in tie Spring of 1871
TO force the Empreis to make peace, Prince
Nahau, who was then in favor with her Impe
rial Majeay, Pre(ented 'Prge8 of tending an
army through Bochara 10 Caihmir, and thence
TO Bengal, to drive the Engliih out OF India.
This Projed was conceived, and drawn up, by
Mosfew A 81. Genie, the perfon whole agents
fer fire to the Dutch arienal, Sc. and had form
ed Gmilar project for deRroying the Britilh
dockyards, fhiPs, &c.
81 BY manfeao TO be publi(hed, the EN-.
prefs declared that ihe ient the army to recital.
lih the Mogul on the throne of India.
Little difficulty was foreieeu in pafing
through Bochara it was even hoped, feeling
the object was TO re eRabl fh on the throne Of
India a Prince Of their religion, that they
would be friendly 70 the enterprile however,
were they not, little apprehension was enter
tanned of people 70 diiunited among them
ielves, and who tremble At the name of RulIi2.
St. Genie pretended, that there we're paGes
through the mountains, and that he had people
who had been in the country, fent by NJ. de
Veigennes. He prefented with his projea
map, and a march raHfs for the army.
" The Empress highly approved the plan
Prince Potemkin turned it into ridicule, becaufe
he did not with ferrous quarrel with the En-
glilh- 1vbom he ahUaT5 faU0reS, sVsn 70 much az
10 qUJB bis mgfr1G 70 make comman CAME agai1R
h,nericaH insebsr6ence. Had a war taken
place, it is difficult 10 fay what the Empre(s
might not have undertaken, # not effected, at
that period. They counted on their being Join
ed in the north Of India by the dilcontented
from all parts"
To thew the degree of credit, which the &C.
count of the foreg Ding project merits, it is
only necefary TO fate, that Mr.. Eaton was 70
bgbm confidence at St. Peterburgh that he was
employed by Prince Potemkin 10 draw up
"The Rate of the finances of RudiA."
The csuies which produced this hottie dif
petition between the Engllh and Rufians,were
thele the Emprels of Rullia and the Emperor
of Germany had entered into ga convention
to divide the TuIkilh dom;nions in Europe"
The RufIians had been very fuccefsful in exc.
cutting this convention, and had taken feveral
places bordering on the Black Sea, which open
ed tosthem the commerce of the Mediterranean.
This circumstance the Englilh viewed with
jealous eye. The King Of Pruhia too, whole
policy it ever is to cramp the Houle OF Au-
fria, could not be unconccrned at the probA-
bic increale of her territory; he therefore, in
the lpring of 1891, RATED an Amy of 10000
men, and poaed them in threatening polture
upon the borders of Bohemia. At the fame
time the Englifh were preparing a feet to fend
into the Baltic, to force the Empress to make
peace with the Turks whether they knew the
exiRence Of the " Project" or not, they thought
negotiation preferable to hoRiliy according
iy Mr.. Fawkener probably the fame, who late
ly undersigned the " orders Of the King in Copn-
sP' refpeding Ruaian property was lent to St.
Petersburg, and an accommodation with the
parties concerned was the confeqnence. IF the
IdgGcjOus Catharine abbr0veI this projef,"
ought we to be furprfed, if the 9gixotc Paul
lnould attempt TO execris it-efpecially as be is
much better prepared for an expedition Of this
kind, than his predeceAor, She knew that her
Poldh fubjeefs would willingly break the yoke,
if they would not draw their necks out Of the
