the Russian paper currency and the Minister VI FL
nance rssed strong objections, which were not for
part Of this fund. The Emperor then applied u the
Sacred Synod Tor loan Of sixty million r0ubies.
That holy body expressed their readiness 70 obey At
all riAks the imperial commands, but alleged that
they were the Repositories OF the property OF the
church for the most sacred purposes and held their
pufsestrDgs closed with ecclesiastical tenacity.
Thus far these facts undoubtedly indicate the inan
cal weakness oil the Russian government but on
the other hand, II must be remembered that II
were declared especially II IL assumed the cry Of
hPious supremacy, not only would these efforts be
made, but far greater sacrifices would probably be
obtained from the enthusiasm Of the people. Nothing

But the more the Emperor Nicholas assumes this

credit, therefore, the assertion that the Russian

that the Danish government have proceeded, under
Russian influence to abrogate impair the const-
tuition OF lsA0 IL wholly inaccurate The Danish
government have caused bill or dranght project
TO be published, containing some notifications Of
the constitution In force; but this bill IL 10 be
submitted to the discussion and vote of the Cham
bers when they rcassemble, and il has not been pro-
mnlgated by royal authority. To Denmark, as well
asto all the adjacent parts OF Europe, the present
crisis liz OF vital Importance; for though this quar-
rel commenced upon the BosphorIs the solution il
may receive will determine whether or not Russia
IL to make the rights Of foreign States subordinate
to her interests or her ambition; and, since such
prete nsons have been manifested, the peace and
independence Of the world can only be preserved by
the firm adherence of all other powers to the
ares necessary To restore the authority Of law and
to set bounds to the possibility Of aggression
