THE GRIZZLY BEAR.-Attempts have re-
/. Gently been made in this country to under
rate he power of Russia. The following
paragraph from the Washington Gl. be has
an mir Of truth about it, which will 60 far to
dampen the Intervention enthusiasm now 50
rampant in some parts of the country:
+" Ii is very well for those who have much
money to spare or even . little, to contribute
TO The Hungariaa fund, rs its ultimate desti-
nation will be, we hope. to do good in some
shape or othcr-to relieve the wants, if
nothing else But those who contribute
under the belief that they are doing any
thing cifcctual to promote the establishment
of Hungarian independence, deceive them
selves, we are sorry to say. TO rescue
Hungary from the grasp of the Emperor and
the Gar, would require a force Of five hun
drcd thousand men. and u fund of Ss5,000,-
OOO,CUO at least ;and where all this ''male-
rial aid' is to come from we are not fnan-
ciers enough to see. We have lived too
! long. and read too much about Russia, her
population, her resources and her power, TO
! believe all that we have heard and read
within the last two months about her "Spec-
| trail" powercss aud exhausted condition.
We know that she is not only the bugbcar,
but the terror of all Europe; that all the
powers are afraid of her, and Great Britain
not the least OF any. The British govern
ment would let the Gar trample upon the
rights of every independent State in Eu-
rope, rs he has tramped upon Hungary,
before it would 20 to war with him, unless
England's own interests were directly and
seriously involved"
