The Vienna Loyd devotes nine of its columus to
an exposure OF Russian selfshness and diplomatic
craft, az exemplifed in the negotiations which pre-.
ceded the treaty of Adrianople. For this purpose,
the Lloyd prints the whole of the confidential memo.

VIEWS IN RUSSIA.
According to letter from st. Petersburg, OF Jan.
u, in the Nat Of Berlin, the opinion gains
ground in the Russian capital that 1.-THE Gar will not
allow himself to be dragged by the ambitious Scayc
party to those extremes which its fanatic members
would tain reach" The Gear is more prudent; he
thoroughly understands bis position, and while es-
saying to keep intact his honor and his right, he
will avoid all that would be certain to bring about
rupture with the West The Scavic party believed
neither in the frmness of the Western Powers, nor
in the duration Of the alliance between France and
England; its establishment is now great and its illu
sons are vanishing. Count Nesselrode Is regaining
his wonted ascendancy at st. Petersburg. 1t is de-
cared that the Emperor OF Russia has just addressed
an autograph letter TO the Queen OF England, In
which he strives to prove that the aggression did not
originate with him. 1t may be relied upon then
thar Russia will keep up certain reserve towards
the Western Powers but will not provoke rupture
with them. What is most apprehended is the active
Intervention OF France and England in the Danub-
ian Provinces. The sympathy of the inhabitants OF
these countries for those two Powers Is known; the
approach of their allied forces might occasion an
efervescence that would annihilate Russian inhu
ence and perhaps, by fatal explosion destroy her
armies
POLAND.
The Vienna correspondent Of the London Chro-
~ioie, writing on the 5th inst, says Letters from
Kssch state that although the Russian preparations
for war did not for long time affect the sta,e OF
things military in Poland 1t has been otherwi-e since
the calling in Of the reserve battaons, measure 10
extraordinary that every feels that crisis OF no
common charA ter is at hand. The bait. lions in
question will not be sent az once to the seat OF War,
but be stationed ia the interior Of the empire as re-
serves. Prince Pakiewtch daily receives adjutants
and staff.eficers coming and going to and from St
Petersburg and the Principates, and although the
troops now on their march in the south OF Russia
have to encounter great difficulties, in the state OF
the weather, yet the days are numbered at least
they persuade themselves at Kalisch-when Russia
will pass from the defensive (qy) to the offensive
and strike terrible blow at the enemy. IL is now
felt says the same correspondent to be great mis-
take the part Of Russia that sufficient force was
not sent in the spring OF last year to settle affairs
with Turkey, the prolonged contest is full Of finan-
.cal difficulties for Russia be sides leading to compli'
cations with the West.
SERvIA.

been much excited there by an order which has bean
given to send an Austrian corps d'armes OF from

maintain the independence of Servia, which is
threatened on one side By the Turkish government
and on the other by the Panslavist element, which

THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR TO FRANCE
(Fsom the Par. De ,ats, F.o y
Ii Ia stated that before leaving Paris M. de ks
selef drew up circular 70 inform all his country
men residing in France OF the resolution which it
his duty TO come TO in execution OF the orders OF
the Emperor, and to say that in view OF certain
eventuAites II was the intention of the Emperor
that they should have TO quit France. The departure
OF NJ. de Kisseef has caused great regret not only
amongst the political personages who had relations
with him. bot also In the whole OF the society OF
Paris. He was universally loved and esteemed, and
his company was sought after on account Of the
al essentially obliging man most anxious to render
service and avoiding with the greatest attention all
that could annoy any person. In society he paid no
attention to political parties, being intimate with
every one, and he was everywhere liked. M. de ks
selef though still young, is certiinly one OF the old
es' members Of the diplomatic corps OF Russia and one
OF those who can boast Of the greatest number OF
years OF uninterup ed service He rst came tol In
August, 1929 few days before the formation OF the
Poignso ministry. He had been sent here as secre.
tary OF the Russian embassy, Of which Count Pozzo
di Borgo was then the head. Bat that was not his
commencement, for he had already served in Persia
and elsewhere Nearly twenty five years have since
elapsed. during which time have taken place the
revolutions OF 1880 and 1913. NJ. de Kisselef wit
messed them and beheld the consequences Of them
successfully develope themselves before him. In
1887 Count Pozzo al Borgo, who had ceased 10 be
ambassador at Paris, having been sent In similar
capacity to London, asked for ~ DE kisselen as his
rst secretary. which was accorded him. This latter
returned 70 Paris In 1910, with the title OF Counsel
lor OF Embassy, and soon after Count Pahen, the
ambassador. being recalled to St Petersburg, M de
kisseleh was pla sed at the head Of the mission as
charge dafaires, which post he stil held when the
revolution Of February broke out In is49 or 1850
he was raised 70 the rank Of Minister Penipoten-
tiay, and IN 1852 received the title Of Envoy Extra
ordinary. N. de Ki&eeff had consequently passed

that t il in France that he has gone through the
