The following article, extracted from an East India
newspaper. invested with some interest in eonse
quence Of . rumor, brought by the last European
steamer, that Russis contemplated q hostile demon
straton against British India. The report referred
to, however. was not supported by any reliable
authority - s.
Will Russia, with her war establishment Of a mil
lion of men, ever invade India
We are aware that the orthodox answer to the
the question runs in the affirmative. And yet we are
bold 70 FAY that the idea of Russian invasion of
India is an absurd chimera which ought to have no
lodging place in any well.regulated mind.
When England ceases to be nation, when "the
traveller from New Zealand, in the midst Of vast
Bridge to sketch the ruins Of st. Pauls" then India
may have changed masters. But her masters will be
Saxons still. They will have come from across the
water. Perhaps the Traveller from New Zealand"
from Australia, the blest in gold. This question,
however, may be safely left to Mr.. Masaulay. All
we care for is, to assert that the invaders of India
mn:t come by sea; and that they can never come at
all SO long as England is England.
SupposiDg for moment that if Russian army OF
one hundred thousand men were to make its appear
snce on the plain Of Peshawur it would not be ignO-
minousy beaten we assert that Russia has no means
oil showing such an army at such place, no means
Of producing any army at all there. To show such
front at Peshawur, Russia must march t vice that
number from the shores OF the Caspian; for at least
one half would the road die, desert, or be killed,
or in some manner disappear from the roll of effective
men. Now, Russia could no more manage to march
two hundred thousand men from the shores of the
Caspian than she could manage to extrcate her feet
from the Black and Baltic Seas, where in the event
OF war 1t wouldb "corked up by our Terrbes and
RetributiOns.
The Aigemeine Zeitung, the leading journal of
Continental Europe, (now that there is no French
press) has recently published a remarkable article
on the military power of Russia The Russian army,
on its nominal war footing consists of 049 900 men,
