The City OF st. Petersburg, upon which the

The PROSPECT FOR A LONG WAR-A letter
from St Petersburg represents that the Anglo
Russian war is likely to continue during severa
years. The great object of the Western powers
according to the writer is to humiliate Russia
He adds
To take Sebastopol, Constadt. and all the for
tilted places that line the Shores of the Baltic and
the Black Seas; TO conquer the fortresses in Po-
land and Finland, and reduce St Petersburg, Moss
and all the inland Notifications, will require
years to accomplish and all this must be done
before the Russian ration is Inundated The
daily expense of carrying on the war is estimated
at 81 100000 or 81 100000.
The great point row involved, is one of pride
or honor. The Allies are endevoring to rebuke
orintimidate Russia, and Russia Oh the other hand
is fighting for her position and character The
difficulty is for either party to yield England

pared if necessary TO sacrifice thousands of addi-
tiona lives and millions of money. The pros
pect, therefore, is by nomeans favorable to imme.
