DEPARTURE or THE JEWS FROM aus

II is well known that several Imperial u.
kases have 0t late been ssasd ia Russia with
regard to the Jews, which not only forbid
them TO wear the dress peculiar to their na
ton, but 20 so far as 10 forbid their women
10 cut their bals Ia their owe fashion, aud
make various other restrictions, all which
ere intended 10 compel the jews N mass and
Immediately 10 become uallonalzed and en-.
ter the hosom Of the Russiaa church, But
many circumstances make il appear proba-
bic that these imperial ordinances vii have
an effect entirely opposite TO what had been
expected. Many wealthy Rathns have al.
ready left Russia because they are not wiling
to become ciizsnsof the country, nud because
their women refused TO cut eli their hair 10
tho required manner. II is also feared the rich
Jewish corn merchants will follow this OK
ample, as the trade in corn and brandy, both
wholesale ard retail, is prohibited TO lhem,
and tho pecunlaIy responsibility laid upon all
jews in case Of Infringement Of the imperial
edc, is SO severe that many clhers will preb.
ably be driven from The country German
