THE NEW POLICY or RUSSIA.

LONDON, Friday, Dee. Ie, 1857.
OF all the European Power, Rsssia a the pres-
ent moment deserves the greatest attention, on ac-
count Of the important movement now developng
itsef in the national life, and st t s about RuesiA
that the English papers remain altogether llent.
Our information Is gathered principally from vi
emma, where the changes msnifesting themselves 10
Russia are watched with the closest attentcs, and
where even the prese contains bits Of most vsisa-
bic information, however cautiously expressed.
Though it 10 true that the Tuskish campaign and
the Crimean war have, 10 o certain degfee, shcru
Russian diplomacy Of its paramount indsenee "
Turkey, Austria end Germany, still the Govern
ments Of those countries know too wei the moral
power Of the Crar which acts upon al the seisvo.

tria made bold stand against the prsesnsiess u
Russia though the latter was backed BY France;
and according to all our advces the schemes Of sAo
Gar, as regards the union Of the PERSONALITIES
under prince nominally dependent upon the Porte,
have been as signslly bAfied ss the Aggression
in 1854. Even Turkey has learned 70 rssist
