The go called Russian Revelations. We
have refrained from abiding to the stories
from this city, saying that the President had
received from the Russian authorities, through
their minister here, q document or documents
going to prove that the European allies have
made compact in which they pledge each
other 10 interfere in case Of any further at
tempt at territorial expansion on the part of
the United States Government, &c We did
80, because, up TO this time, We were unable to
obtain any really satisfactory Information upon
the subject Just nov, however, We have come
to a conclusion in our own mind upon il, and,
therefore, hasten to say that there is not even
a shadow of foundation in truth for it, The
inquiries We set on foot would have brought
Us positive proof Of the fact if any such fact
existed. 1t is quite probable that American
travellers In Russia, of late, have brought to
Washington any quantity Of cock and hull
stories Of this sort, hu. It cannot possibly be
that the Government o, the United States have
received word or line on the subject from
any more reliable source than that which We
here indicate.
