In such case it is hoped Russia will not again be
left exposed singe-handed to the attack of q
formidable coalition. The policy Of France has
evidently undergone a radical change, and in
the event of q second Oriental war she
would not appear in the field second time as the
defender of Turkish humanity and civilization. The
power of England is paralyzed by the troubles in
India, and Sardinia would be sure to follow in the
wake of France and Russia. At present Austria is

1t is rather curious coincidence that while the
Russian and Austrian press are carrying on war
fare Of mutual abuse, and the attitude of the two
governments towards each other is not much more
friendly the representative OF Austria at this court
Count Valentine Esterhazy, has just robbed us of
our most famous belle, who is no less admired for
her own beaur yexr than for les beour yeur de sa
cossefte-the Princess Kotchoubey. This lady may
be said to have q European reputation, her beauty
and her wealth, her magnificent palace, her spark
ling diamonds, and her even more sparkling eyes
having been the admiration of all beholders at the
coronation in Moscow. She is the widow of two of
the richest magnates of Russia, Prince Belos-

the death of the latter had refused some of the first

forbidden him to engage in actual hostilities with
the Celestias. This, however, is not considered
probable: on the contrary, If the report should be
confirmed that the Emperor of China is about to
evacuate Pekin, and retreat into Mongolia, Russia
may he called upon to cooperate with the allies
by land as well as by sea. General Mouraviefi has
