This strange document, which isfsaid to have
appeared in La Presse [Paris1 in 1878, we copy
from the Baltimore Times
l. To have the Russian nation constantly at
war, that the soldiery may be always disciplined
and ready for action. Allow the nation no
rest, but for replenishing Of the treasury, reor-
ganizing the armies, and choosing the opportune
moment for attack; making, in this manner,
peace serve war and war serve peace, in the in
terest, ACKNOWLEDGMENT and prosperity of Russia.
2. To attract, by all possible means, the most
efficient and celebrated military officers in Eu
rope during war, and highly educated, scien-
tjfc men of all countries in time of peace, that
the Russians may enjoy the advantages Of other
countries without losing their identity.
g. To take part on all occasions in the dis
putes and contentious among the States of Eu-
rope, especially those of Germany, which, as
the nearest, we are the most directly interested
4. To subdue Poland; foment there continual
rivalries and disturbanees-gain their mobiles by
bfibery--infuence their diets, and by intrigue
take action in the election of their kings-form
partisan cliques, and for their protection send
them Musceyite troops to remain in the country
until the moment of complete occupation. If
the neighboring powers make opposition. quiet
them at once by dismembering the country, and
giving to each part
s. To take what we can from Sweden, and
make any attack by her pretext for subjuga
ton. For this, separate her from Denmark, and
likewise Denmark from Sweden; and foment
With care all animosities and rivalries between
them.
=. To select wives for the Russian princes
among the princesses of Germany, for the null
tiplying of family alliances conciliates interests,
and by them will unite Germany to our cause,
| and increase our influence in that country.
Z, To attend assduously to forming an al
| lance with England for our commerce, the as
| sistance of that power we most need for the pur
| pose OF building up maratime force, and she
| will be of the greatest service in supplying us
| with her gold in exchange for o, lumber and
other productions. Continual intercourse with
her merchants and sailors will accustom ours
| to navigation and commerce.
| s. Extend ourselves increasingly towards the
North, the whole length of the Baltic, and like
| wise to the South, by the Black Sea-
| 9. To take every possible means Of gaining
Constantinople and the Indies, (for he who rules
there will be true sovereign of the world excite
war continually in Turkey and Persia, estab-
fishing fortresses on the Black Sea, get the con-
troll of the sea, by degrees, and also of the Bal
tic, which is a double point necessary to the re-
| alization Of our project; accelerating, as much
as possible, the decay of Persia; penetrate to
che Persian Gulf; reestablish, if it be possible,
| by the way of Syria, the ancient commerce of
the Levant; advance to the Indies, which are the
1 great depot of the world. Once there, we can
do without the gold of England
10. Obtain and carefully cultivate the alli-
ance of AUSTRIA support apparently her
| ideas of future dominion over Germany; ex-
cite animosities and rivalries among her princes
thus causing each party to claim the assist
ance of Russia, and exercise over this country
q species of protection that will prepare for the
future dominion.
| H. Interest the House of Austria in the ex-
pulsion of the Turks from Europe, and quiet
their dissensions at the moment of the conquest
of Constantinople (having excited war among
the old States of Europe) by giving to Austria a
portion of the conquest, which afterwards will
or can be reclaimed.
II Unite within your borders all the dis
| united or schismatie Greeks now scattered in
Hungary and Poland, making ourselves their
centre, establishing beforehand an independent
church by species of autocracy and sacredotal
supremacy
/ Is Sweden dismambered, Persia subdued,
Poland subjected, and Turkey conquered, our
armies united, and the Black Sea and the Baltic
guarded by our ships of-war, it will be neees-
sary to propose separately, and with the great
est secrecy, to the Court of Versailles, and
| afterwards to that of Vienna, to divide with
| them the empire of the universe.
If one of the two accept this offer so fiatter-
ing to their ambition and self love, let her serve
to annlhilate the other, commencing contest,
the issue Of which cannot be doubtful, and
Russia may take possession of all the East and
greater part of Europe.
If both nations should refuse the offer made
by Russia, (Which is not at all probable it
will be necessary to excite quarrels among them
which will engage them in war with each
other. Then Russia, improving the decisive
moment, advances her troops (assembled before
handy on France and Germany at the same
| time Two squadrons proceed-one by the Sea
of Azof, the other by the port of Archangel--
filled with Asiatie hordes, under the convoy OF
our armed ships in the Black Sea and the Baltic.
| Advance by the Mediterranean and the ocean,
inundate France on one side, while Germany is
inundated on the other, and these two countries
conquered, the rest Of Europe will pass under
the yoke without firing gun. Thus may and
should be effected the subjugation of Europe
