RUSSIAN VIEWS.

We understand that the Russian Emperor
has addressed an official paper 10 his ministers
at The European courts, with d view of paving
the way, perhaps, for the conference among
tlie soveIeigns. which is to take place during
the present year. There is copy OF this pa
per. now IN This country.
From a very hast, account Of it, we learn
that the Emperor at all the Rnssias calls the
attentien OF the iecitimatts TO the terms of the
Holy Alliance, win view of frightening the
chain OF friendship, which binds the Allies to
gether. The great Principles of the Alliance

II is somewhat extraordinary, that Russia

Sweden has obtainen NOrway-The King of

however, are legitimate objects but il is when
an oppressed people ground to dust and ashes
like tile colonies of Spanish America, take up
arms TO establish their independence that the
Russian Emperor wishes TO resist Innovation
So long, however. as the Emperor confines
