ST.. PETERsBURGH, ApriI p 868
| NV last letter apprised you of sever reports
touching the expected changes in ther minis
t-stion. The same rumors, slightly ed, are
sill in circulation. The Prince Or after
having pledged all his property to th. crown,
would have withdrawn, but for serioe iissen-
sions in the Superior Committee of E ncpa.
ton, which ia presided over by the Bo ,ror. /
am assured, on good authority, that c 1T Kis.
seleff has refused to succeed Prince of, as
hs did to succeed Prince GortschakoH War
saw. As to the Minister of War, the Nv ar
rangement of which have spoken is A to be
preserved; but there will be delay, an during
the absence of General Soukhosanett Prince
Wsssiltshikof, 80 after named in thss ,etters,
is to direct the Ministry as Deputy of Min
lister. 1t is an old story revamped.
There is much talk to-day of an uks which
is to appear day after tomorrow, al which
will cut short the difficulties attending. great
question of enfranchisement. Emanc> .tion is
to be pure and simple. For. three y, q, the
peasants are not to be allowed to lea their
estates but during that time, the prol ,taries
are to make with them the necessary y range
ments for their emancipation. At the nd of
this period, the Government is to in .vene,
wherever the question may not have | u set
tied, but no arrangement is to extend eyond
% years-the extreme term for which ae es-
tates are to be pledged to the Loan Ban How
ever, the ukase is to consecrste anew e i'm
prsscriptible right of property in the I, Jesse.
This new measure, according to soK quid.
nupcs, is not without its con aection b the
determination which Prince Orloff { ms to
haze definitely taken to Withdrew from b .iness,
and go abroad. | have told Fou that has
pledged all his estates to the Loan Bat sew
eIal great landholders have done th same.
This is not a report it is a tact-at set, it
&C ines to me from a source by which have
nj yer been deceived.
