European jourLals-tn0se great distributors If

c.rLipg the existence OF such peace party in
Ru.si, shrinbs sId a~indles into something vague
sId iDtab sibe. European politicians and news
mopgers will find that this party supposed to
oIsapprove or oppose the wsrllke measures of tne
oeceased Emperor is Lot 10 be caugh! anywhere

To thi, party msny and various phases were as
signed. IL was formed, as was ,aid, Of eminent
stsre,m,D; aud the Eastern enterprise was
represented a. having spfuog absolutely from the
brain of n, ,boss. Tbe deceased Emperor, how
ever, always submitted to the Council of the
Empire every question concerning ali stepswhat-
eyer 10 be- taken 10 the internal aud external
poicy Of Russia Nay. often, very often, mioute
proposals spd disci pliuary affairs were submitted
10 and decided by that Council. When matters Of
great consequence @ere under deber.t alton
she Emperor always presided; 10 other Cases a
President named by him, generally che Prince
Ch.rbichef. Between twenty and thirty
stntssu en-, and IN this lumber all the Ministers
arc Secretaries of State, as well as the heredi-
tary Grsn6 Duke. form this Council. The Omin
ous Eastern question, the mission Of M1nchikOf
aDo its consequences undoubtedly we're decided
upon, after mature deliberstion in that body.
The Gar may have adopted or rejected the ad-
vice of lis councillors, but at any rate he asked
it Certainly, likewise, few if any of them,
show ed hostility to a step aud to policy 80 in
harmony with the vivid traditional aspira-
tons of the whole nation. In tbs Council of the
Eupire therefore. among The statesmen of Rus
ria, there does not exist any organized peace
party in opposition to the will Of the two auto
cfats, Nicholas and his successor.
Aide fr'm the supposed divergence of the
opinions of she present Emperor from those of
biz predecessor, equally imasinary dssension
exiting between the tSo brothers, Alexander
spd Cons ssDtiue has served for plot to the
ptsce.ersDa. Notwistitand the difference of
TED years in the ages of ,he two brothers, not
Only cnmmoD harmony but really frssernal love
uIitts them rs it Oes the whole Imperial family.
This is principally the result Of the domestic
node of life Of Nicholas and the maternal de-
yotion OF the Empress. There may have been,
bs liz all families, little mifs; bus violent disa-
eIeen.hts never, ss TIE European journals hsve
tried to mate people believe. Up to the pres
ept uom.ns 10 proofs whatever have appeared
before the public Of such positive dissensiOns in
the bosom OF the Imperial family, relating to
the Eastern or any Other question. The maguates
Of the Court are equally free from strong oppO-
,'ion t. the war. Count Nesselrode, who
lites quiet and comfort may have grumbled at
tie start on account Of the increase of the labor
sbd complications 10 bis Office, and s)me Others
msy have done iikewi.e but they were 700

East at the cost of war; and Nesserode liking
hls place, would not leopard it by un,imely op
position. Neither does be lead or represent
any strongly marked party political or national.
Though very partial to the Germans, his coun-
tpmep be does not foster their interests beyond
bis own department where bs sometimes ap.
poiDrs Germans in preference to Russians. TIE
rivalry between the two BatioDslities is almost
exclusively confined to seeking for advancement
IN the service. If any difference exist in their
opinions, il is as t. how the Russian bear should
extend bis ps~s-the Germans looking rather
toward the West, and the Russians toward the
Es.t.
