Sympathy OF Russia.

IN audience of the President or Saturday, and
read to him the following dispatch:
ST. PETERSBURG July 10, 1861.
NJ De SToEcKL, &C.-SIr: From the begin
ming of the conflict which divides the United
States of America, you have been desil ed to
make known to the Federal Government the
deep interest with which our august master
was observing the development of crisis
which keeps in question the prosperity and
even the existence of the Union. The En-
peror profoundly regrets to see that the hope
of q peaceful solution is not realized and that
American citizens. already in arms, are ready
to let loose upon their country the most formi
dabe of the scourges Of political socicty-a
civil war.
For more than eighty years that IL has ex-
listed, the American Union owes its indepen
dence its towering rise, and its progress, to
the concord of its members, concentrated un-
der the auspices of its illustrsous founder, by
its institutions which have been able to re-
concle the Union with liberty. This Union
has been faithful. 1t has exhibited to the world
the spectacle of a prosperity without exam
pie in the annals Of history 1t would he
'deplorable that, after conclusive an eX
.perience, the United States should lie hurried
into breach of the solemn compact which
spite of the diversity Of their Constitutions.
and of their interests. and perhaps even be-
cause of their diversity, Providence seems to
urge them to draw closer their traditional
bond, which is the basis of the very condi-
'tons of their political existence. In any
event. the sacrifice which they might impose
upon themselves to maintain it. are beyond
comparison with those which dissolution
would bring after it. United, they perfect
themselves isolated, they are paralyzed.
The struggle which unhappiy has arisen
can neither be indefinitely prolonged, nor
lead to the total destruction of one of the par
ites Sooner or later it will be necessary to
como to some settlement, whatever it may be-
which may cause the divergent interests now
actually in conflict TO co exist. The Ameri
can nation would then give proof of high
political wisdom in seeking in common such
settlement before a useless eVuson of blood,
barren squandering of strength and Of pub
lie riches, and acts of violence and reciprocal
pefusals ehall have come to deepen an ahyeo
between the two parties Of tLe Corfedera
tion, to end, definitely. iu their mutual ex-
haustion and in the ruin, perhaps irrepara-
ole, of their commercial and political power.
Our august master cannot resign himselfto
admit such deplorable euticipetions.
His Imperial Majesty still places his conf
dence in that practical good sense of the cit-
zens of the Union who appreciate so Judi
cously their true interests. His Majesty is
happy to believe that the members Of the
Federal Government and the influential men
of the two parties will seize all occasions, and
will unite all their efforts to calm the etfer-
'vescence of the passions. 1hereare no in
terests so divergent that it may not be posi-
BILE to reconcile them by laboring to that end
with zeal and perseverance, in spirit Of jus.
tice and moderation.
lf within the limits Of your friendly rela-
tions, your language and your councils may
contribute to this result, you will respond,
sir, to the intentions of his Majesty the EN-
peror, in devoting to this the personal innu->
ence which you may have been able to ac-
uure during your long residence at Wash
.ingtor, and TO the consideration which
belongs to your character as the Representa-
tive of a Sovereign animated 10y the most
friendly sentiments toward the American
Union. This Union is not simply in our eyes
an element essential to the universal political
equilibrium; it constitutes, besides q nation

have pledged the most friendly interest, for
the two countries. placed at the eXtremitles
of the two worlds, each in the ascending pc
rods of their Development appear called to

tual proofs to each other.
do not wish here to approach any Of the
G,estions winch divide the United States.-
We are not called upon to express ourselves
in this contest. The preceding considerations
have no other Object than to attest the lively
'eolictude Of the Emperor in the presence of
the dangers which menace the American
Union, and the sincere wishes which his
Majesty entertains for the maintenance of
that great work so laborously raised, and
which appeared so rich in its future.
1t is in this sense, sir. that desire you to
express yourself, as well TO the members of
the General Government as to the influential
persons whom you may meet, giving them
rAe assurance that in every event the Ameri-
can nation mas count upon the most cordial
sy1hpnthy on the part OF cur august Master
during the important crisis which it is passing
through at present
Receive. sir, the expression of my very
deep consideration
