THE RESULTS OF yIcToRYTIE LONDON EXAMINER ON THE
RUSSIAN PARTY EUROPE
The London Examiner pays it's respects to the Russian
party in Europe after this fashion
The failure of Russia in defending her own territory
must in truth alarm Prussia than any other power
Exposed the rivalry of Austria and regarded cody by
England and France where has she friend II not in the
Gar? She ia not rstrate power, and now without
single hold German sympahies support could not
bring the half of Austrian the third OF Russian
into the field Her only strength in the intelligence
Of her people, against which her government has set its
face But the posture of affairs already begins to re-
influence to the constitutional party in Prussia Only
the other day the electors of Berlin chose unsen repre-
sent them and although he may prefer not again TO enter
the Chamber it ia clear that the genuine liberals the men
who held aoo from the last election in disgust and de-
spair will form party in the Prussian Parla
ment They are to man (Schwerin among them) Eng
lsh and ntiRussan and hero lie yet the elements OF
German freedom, and German force and independence
In the of southern Europe, however with even
more immediate and startling effect than in Ger

Count Of Chambord and the journal des Debafs de-

The Queen has become tolerant of Espartero the
spring chamberains and court ladies dismissed the
Finance Minister is suddenly found capable, and capital

advance would be made off the enemys c0mmunica-
