A Russian Inquiry received the fol.
lowing pertinent letter yesterday:
SIR: 1t has been asked By the British press
why the Americans should sympathiee more
with Russia than with England? Allow a
Russian to answer this question by asking a
few others.
Russia has always esteemed the courage
and respected the American people She has
never sEeered at their grand Evolutionary pol
icy of tho Monroe doctrine; but, on the con-
trary, admits il as 1.-The just and noble corela.
tive CT their independence" 1 ask Is this true
of England?
Russia has never ridiculed aud DETAINED the
Americans because they have accepted acqui-
sitions which were suitable and advantageous
TO the grandeur of their nation Bat what
can England say Tier past in Texas, Oregon,
and California?
Russia has q large territory on the Pacific
coast. but she has never made this an excuse
tor thrusdng her interference or opposition
into the line ofpolicy which the United States
may think just and proper to pursue on To cir
own continent. Russia has never uSurped a
post or harbor on American soil with the view
Constructing or controlling their commercial
prosperity. Russia has never maligued tho
motives and character of the Amerc ans to in
jQre their repute and lessen heir moral weight
among O!her nations Russia has never
| threatened to "give our Yankee friends q les
son." Has England been equally friendly.
1r even cOurteously neutral in these matters +?
What reply do yoa receive from all the coun
tries Of America in which England encounters
The United States? What value or construc-
tlon should Ase1tsaa statesmen place upon
tho occupation II he Ruatan Isl snds, the Mos-
quito protectorate. the Africaniz atom of Cuba
The interruption CT the United States treaties
With the Sandwich Islands, ST. Domingo, and
Ecuador?
Finally, Russia has always received in
genious Americans vi b distinction, and re.
Rarded them with liberslity. She honors
with enthusiasm The enligb tened Industry and
he resistless enterprise Of American genius,
while sons other nations affect TO deriIe it as
sordid Ia motive and selfish IN result. If there
IS nothing in this to incline the hearts of the
Americans to their Russian friends, neither is
there anything in il to excite an ardent aud
exclusive sympathy for their mmon oppo.
.nent. A RUSSIAN.

ton that any one possessed Of an ounce Of
brains will believe it, but merely By way Of
having something in the shape Of wonder in
The paper Of the day, the news happening,
just then, to be very scarce, indeed.
