THE POLICY OF RUSSIA.

Since the outbreak of the spirit Of revolution in
Europe, (says the Boston Daily Advertiser,) much
curiosity has been manifested TO discover what
would be the policy of Russia. Although the EN-
peror of Russia may have felt safe against the in
roads of liberalism into his dominions he may not
have felt so fully guarded against conspiracy, at
time when instruction and revolt was common to
every part of Europe, and it was natural that he
should feel some solicitude for the maintenance Of
order in his own domnions. 1t was also but the
part of prudence to be prepared for any change in
his relations with the neighboring Powers which
might grow out of the changes likely TO take place
in the character and policy Of the Governments of
those countries, and also to protect the frontiers of
his empire against the effects of nsurrecton the
neighboring provinces of the Prussan and Austrian
dominions. Orders for placing his immense armies
on the footing of activity and efficiency were of
course issued, and movements OF troops were heard
of, which gave rise to speculations in the German
and other papers. 1t was repeatedly announced
that the Russian army on the point of invading
the Prussian or Austrian territories. The Russian
Government has at length thought it expedient to
make public declaration of its policy, for the in
formation of the Governments of Europe, and has
addressed the following circular to its diplomatic
agents at the several courts in Germany, and pro-
baby TO our own Government and all the European
Governments, under the signature of the expert
enced minister, Count Nesselrode. Without attri-
bnting to the Russian Emperor and his Cabinet any
undue share of moderation and prudence it must be
manifest that its most obvious policy would be a
defensive one, in the present agitated state of Eu-
rope, and we do not see any good reason to doubt
that the views developed in this document are the
true index of the policy of that Government.
