RUSSIA.
BerLua.-Rumors have been rife, that the
Russian Government has invited Prussia TO
take steps towards a renewal of negotiations
with the Western Powers.
Public feeling in Russia has begun to mani
fest itself since the fall of Sebastopol. Large
proprietors have lost half and even two-thirds
of their revenue from want of outlets for their
produce, and from the abstraction of labor.
The Government functionaries, and the youth
just from the military schools, alone favor the
continuation of the war.
Among the Generals who fell on the 9Th were
Generals Yonserof and Vocikoff. The latter
was an aid of the Emperor, and particular
favorite.

of success now entirely in some Socialist move
ment in barcelona.
