The Grsnd-Duke Constantine, naughty, smbi-
tious, reckless and porseyering, is at the head
of the war party. lie is not liked by the ma
tiop. but he is the idol of the army. The edu-
Gated classes, landed proprietors and merchants,
are weary of the war; but the peasants have
beer stirred up by patriotism and religious Ia
naticism, and they like the war in spite of the
sacrifices it entails upon them, since they all
expect the abolition of setlage as the reward OF
their patriotic exettions. About eighty thousand
of them, principally on the estates of Count
Brabicki, in the Ukraine, have actus ~ refused
to work gratuitously fer the lord Of the manor;
but since they declare their readiness to tight the
enemies of the Car, and furnish their number OF
recruits with the greatest cheerfulness, the Gov
eminent ignores their revolt against their mas
ters. On the whole, the Russians like the presest
Gar. The death Of Nicholas has liberated

the Poles discuss politics in the cofee-houses
and hotels without being punished. 1t is true
that the spies of Mr.. Abrshamowitch, the dread
ed Chief of Police in Poland, take down the
names of the most ardent speakers; but since
the commission for investigating political crimes
has been dissolved the mercurial Poles DO not
care for Abrabsmo witch and his myrmdons.
Still, Russia is not ruled by the Car alone.
Her policy, which remained the same under the
absolute Expresses Ann, Elizabeth, and Cath
arine, under the semi liberal Alexander and the
despotie Nicholas will not be changed by such
an amiable, wsyering character as Alexander
ii. The capture of Seyastopol may, therefore,
adjourn peace for many years, since the pres
tige of Russia in the East has enormously suf-
fered By the destruction Of her fleet; and the
fanatcism of the bulk of the nation may be
stirred up still more effectively BY the loss Of
the town, which by its heroic resistance had
won the reputation Of being mPregnable.
