BERLIN, May 27-Uncxpected events
which are said to have taken place in Russia,
are at this time the chief subject of converse
ton. Private letters have been received direct
from St. Petersburg, but speak, however, on
the subject with extreme reserve, and mention
no particulars. According to the reports in
circulation here very serious occurrences
have taken place Ii is said that a conspiracy
has been 1ecovered, in which several families
OF the first rank are reported To be implicated.
Ii IS affirmed that an ecclesiastic gave informa-
ton of the existence ofthe plot tn the Empress
Mother, who was the first To acquaint her son.
IL is stated that this discovery, which has
heen communicated to the emperor, has
greatly contributed to induce his Imperial
Majesty to give up for the present his in.
trntion of taking journey into other coun-
tries, the circumstances being ofsuch nature
that his presence in the empire is considered
as necessary"
We know, however, that these statements,
which at present rest Only on reports, and the
accounts given by travellers, are not authentic,
but require further confirmation.
