England and Russia In Persia.
From The Russian rurnai lie Moro, Of Brussels
Since the commencement Of the dispute that has
arisen between England and Persia, the English
press has not ceased to attribute the hostility OF the
Persian government to the intrigues OF Russia At
that time the war In the East was at its height, and
this accusation served as an additional weap0a for
the London journals to use against Russia They
might have reflected s,at this Power had no interest
in extending to Central Asia q contest, the theatre
of which was already too large for that one Of the
two parties which had not ut its disposal the i'm
mense advantage Of maritime commun cations. Bat
il was essential TO exhibit new proof Of Russian
ambition at the very moment when England was
preparing the way for fresh conques
Since the conclusion Of peace the tactics OF The

it is still Russia that is respons Die for the events OF
which Central Asia Is tbIea ened with being made
the scene.
For Power 30 Formidable as England, and which
puts forward such great pretensioDs TO generosity
equity and respect for right, it would have been no
very edifying act to attack feeble State under a
futile pretext To give color TO this aggression u
was absolutely necessary 10 find better pre'ext; il
ing, but OF defen Ting Nov, when the Eoglish press
il NJ nonplus IL al ways has convenient plea and
that Is Russian ambition That is one of the ideas
which are received admitted, accredited, and which
are taken as requiring no further proof.
However little dispose we may be TO follow the
journals OF Great Britain In the caphcous turns Of
their political faDces there are, in the pertnacity
with which they publish this new fisehood, other
circumstances we cannot refrain from pointing ont
10 the attention Of our readers.
For the last twenty years the wisdom OF the Rus
sian government has awaited TO preserve Central
Asia from the CONGREGATIONS that have 10 often
bending that, on that side ALSO British rivalry
preparing for II fresh complications, resolved on
creating between Russia and the English possessions
q neutral zone, which might desden its pernicious
enects- With this view II came 10 an unders anding
with the Cabinet Of Loadon for the purpose Of re-
moving all chance of q conflict. 1t severely inter
dcted TO tself all action In Central Asia, on condi
ton that England, on her part, should observe the
hike abstinence. In Persia, the rivalry OF the two
countries gave place 70 an agreement which had for
its consequence the object OF regulating in common
the question Of the succession 10 the throne that
perpetual source OF sanguinary conflicts, and like
wise the boundary between Turkey and Persia,
which threatened 10 grow into an open comes, be
tween there two countries.

Nov, az twenty years ago, Russia has only one
political interest In this quarter, namely, tina. OF
maintaining peace.
Peace is necessary 10 herself, for the deveIope-
ment of her internal prosperity. and 10 avoid con
hicts with England that she has no motive for seek
