Of brick dwelling house, four barns and
two sheds, was in the uncomfortable possess

The Cars New PROPOSAL
Deceptive Policy of Russia.

We are told that the last message receiv-
ed at Berlin from the Emperor of RUSSIA,
and conveyed 10 that Court by Prince
George Of Mecklenburg, is to the effect that
The Emperor UH eracuaie The Personalities
whenever the HeSiern Poicers hare obtained
from The Turks, BY treaty, TIE emancipation
Of The Christian population. The Western
Powers have sought as little as possible to
bind the Porte by treaty to any such condi-
tons, and il Is not necessary for their object
that the concessions made to the Christians
should be the result Of any compact with
foreign Government; but as a matter of fact.
the Porte has already conceded infinitely
more TO It's Christian subjects of the friend y
representation of the Allied Powers. than
It could ever have granted to the menances
OF Russia; and. ii the Emperor Nicholas
Is disposed to make the emancipation of the
Christians the test Of peace or war, he may
al once withdraw from the Princlpalities he
has Invaded, since we have gained more for
the Christians OF the East by defending the
rights OF Turkey than he claimed BY attack
ing them. We cannot, however, regard the
proposals last forwarded to Berlin BY the
Pnnce Of Mecklenburg, as a serious or hon
est overture; and we lear they are intended
TO serve very different purpose. The OBJ
Jeci OF the Court OF Russia is, If possible, To
detach Prussia md Austria altogether from
the alliance OF the Western Powers. and
even to induce them to repudlate the Primer
pics 10 which they have gwen their assent
