Russian Side Of the History.

news Is the dispatch OF a special Ambassador bv
Russia to the United States with instructions to
negotiate treaty, drawing still closer the rca-
tions between the two countries, and proposing a
sale OF the Russian possessions in America. The
person selected for this negotiation, by Russia.
has had extraordinary opportunities as counselor
and confdant OF the Court, and as a member OF
the staff OF the Grand Duke Constantine 10 be-
come fully acquainted with the views and inen-
tons of the Emperor in the present contest; for.
unlike the Emperor OF France, Nicholas speaks
freely to every one in his confidence on the state
OF public affairs.
In long conversation" says the correspond.
ent OF the New York Tribune, Il have had on the
subject with the gentleman referred to- be has
furnished me many facts of the greatest interest
which ought to have publicity no matter how
our sympathes may be on the question at issue"
Russia considers that she has never received
any serious defeat anyw here since the commence
ment of the war She acknowledges a want OF
success at Silistra, but says it required years to
take that place in 1850, and that she expected
It to require months to take it at present. and
that it was not want of success that compelled
her TO retire but the menacing attitude of Austria
which forced upon her a change OF tactics. Prince
/ PaskiewItch was Cnly wounded in his honor at
SIllstria-his body was never to be touched. Ii
Is contended that at the time the Russian mine
exploded il the troops had been ordered to charge
the Turks through the gap. an excellent opportu-
nifty was offered to carry the place. The Prince
dld not favor the movement, contrary to the ppin-
ION OF the Emperor also, and he has been recalled
to consult with the Emperor'-which means
that he has been banished to his estates
! The Emperor Nicholas has now changed his
tactics. Ii is asserted positively that he has pre-
lerred to fight the Austrians to the Turks: he has
been waiting and expecting that Austria. from the
lne OF conduct she has pursued toward him, would
declare wa:: and, as every one knows. he has been
constantly collecting troops on the Austrian from

peror about declaring the iRderandeuce of either

ence Of the latter country, at least need be enter
