"Berhn FEB. 25.-Now the Duke Of Yelling
ton has left us, our political circles are busily
discussing the object Of his mission. Some
affirm they have frequently heard declaration
that the policy of his government is directed
to the preservation Of peace, and those who
take an interest in the affairs of. the unfortunate
Greeks, Halter themselves with hopes, that he
will make proposals AT ST Petersburgh for put
ting an end TO their calamities.
The official journal of St Petersburgh con-
tains an article setting forth in detail the result
of the examination made by Commission OF
Inquiry 1t seems that the commission has
succeeded in ascertaning the origin, develope-
menl, and divers forms of secret association
whose horrd designs would have led to the
greatest crimes ard disasters. The origin Of
is association goes back to 1915 From BIZ
it deliberatcd at Moscow upon the means OF at
tempting the life Of tie Emperor Alexander
In 1918 the members Of the association took
the title Of Society Of Friends of the Public
Good, or of the Green Book, and persuaded
those whom they received that their object was
merely Works Of Charity. In 1921, the chiefs
got rid OF the members who disapproved their
political principles feigning TO dissolve the So
ciety They afterwards formed three associa-
tons, under the titles Of Associations OF the
North, the South, and the Combined Slaves,
and employed themselves with the means OF
producing revolutionary movement, in order
to establish, according 10 some, trumvlrate,
and according 10 others, division OF Russia
into several independent administrations, unit
ed by federal tie In short to effect this revo-
luton, the Combined Slaves were TO assasslnate
the Emperor Alexander in May, 1926. But
short and cruel malady having deprived Rus
sia Of sovereign and f-ther, all the mem
bcrs of the royal family were to be, at thu same
moment, victims Of the consplrators Never
theless, the number of the conspirators, and
particularly of great criminals, is inConsidcra-
BILE.
Pr,is Feb. 2S.-We copy the following from
the Courier Francais:-"Priva,e letters men
ton that IS chiefs of corps, or officers OF rank,
have been imprisoned at ST. Petersburg, In
consequence ofthe discovery Of the consplra-
cy. The number taken into custody was so
great that ii was considered necessary to set at
liberty those who were only charged with be-
ing made acquainted with the secret OF the
plot, without having taken an active part in II.
The principal persons accused are not in the
army, but those who conceived the project OF
reform, or subversion of the State, are in the
upper classes of society. five may place rell-
ance upon certain accounts, nothing less was
thought Of than the creation of three Consuls,
in place Of the actual Government, and one OF
them was even nominated. But until the eX-
aminatons and lextual papers of the procee-
dings be published, and convictions be thus
produced, we should be upon our guard against
such charges, which are often lavishly bestow-
ed by the police against those persons whom
they would hold up to public hatred"
Paris, March THE Mannheim Gazette has
the following article under the head OF Russia:
"Our readers know that there has been a re-

armies of their own accord. If we may believe
