Puschkin FROM his post in the Educational sd
Ininistration OF St. Petersburg seems to have ere
ated the greatest sensation in that capital. He
stood at the head Of the Upper Committee Of
Censorship, and it is believed that the intended
innovations in the Min-etry Of Public Enlighten-
| ment, as it is called in Russia, were thought in
compatible with his principles, as member of
the strictest Old Russian party, and the forms in
which those principles exhibited themselves He
is represented as man of high honor, and one OF
the most Intelligent aud enlightened among the
superior officers OF the State service, but al the
same time as one who opposed fanstcalIy what he
thought the Eruption Of. foreign idess of cyiiiza
ton, and was most successful in keepl2g them at
bay Without going to the full extent in which
some persons sangnneiy hope, that the whole re-
presslye stem Of censorship is now to be dropped
IN Russia it may be safe to conclude that tins re.
moval of Puschkin by the Emperor is the evidence
OF change for the better, IA regards the applca-
ton OF liberal principles in the field OF literature

that under present circumstances it would be i'm

commended by exalted persOnages to endeavor to

halfdozen members Of the extreme right, whose pc

appreciation. The result received with loud and
