TURIN, August 20, 1861.
Rumors about q great conspiracy at St'
Petersburg against the life of the Car have
laielv surprised all Europe The facts, as far
as they are known, are the following ybe
Senator ChruschoG, two years ago, had every
chance Of becoming Minister, but Mr.. ,gnatieh
got the prize coveted by the Senator, who
since that time lealousy watched the proceedings
Of the Minister and never failed to denounce bis
mistakes or misdeeds to the Emperor. Most OF bis
charges having proved to be exaggerated, the sena
tors zeal was rewarded BY distrust, and though
he enjoyed the protection of the Grand Duchc's
Helen, widow Of the Strand Duke Mlcne,' aou
accordingly aunt Of ths Gar. he was Tea'eu 90

this proved 40 heavily upon Chruscbons niinu
That he became insane and had to be sent 70
luuatic asylum. FIis papers were selzeo' setieN,
md examined exclusively by the Minister Vi
the Police and fhe Emperor, who at once gave
the order TO burn them At the same 'lnfe tifo
Grand Duchess Helen left st. petersburg lor

Che case hut the public mind is excltedand pretends
shst among sbe papers burnt, traces of correspon-
dence were found, proving that the eminent Nus
sian refugee Hertzen, in England, who publishes fhe
famous KelokOl (BelD in Russian at London, and
wages war against maadminstraton all over
the Empire, got important information about every
transaction of the Petersburg Cabinet from the
Grand Duchess, by means of the Senator. Since 1t
is known that the Grand Duchess was always
rtannch champion OF the emancipation Of the seris
initiated by HeItzen's KOtOkOt, this rumor is,
credited by the arisOcraey aud eXag gerated into
conspiracy against the Cars life.
We do not attach any particular weight TO these
TumOrs, but we must observe that Russla Is IN q
very unhealthy condition; her finances are ruined
the aristOcracy dissatisfied the emancipated serls
riotOus, the Circassans have resumed Their war on
the coast of the Black Sea- the Tartar population Of
the Crimea is emigrating TO Turkey, and the pres
tige of the Empire falling off throughout Europe.
On the other hand, the Central Asac States OF So
called Independent Tartary, the Khanats OF khlya,
KhOkan, and BOkhara, are all coming under Russian
influence and protection, and the provinces lately
taken from China are in an improving condition
Poland however, proves dead weight to Russia
and paralyzes her completely. The example 0i
Italy and Hungary has told upon the Poles, who
continue by passive resistance and national demon
stratons to tire out the Russians, in order TO induce
them to grant q national government TO Poland.
Austria's difficulties are likewise increasing
Croatia has refused to send members 10 the Imperial
Council of Vienna, and Hungary has done the same,
protesting against any new loan which might DC
voted without the sanction Of the Hungarian Diet.
Francis Joseph has, as yet given no reply either TO
the Croatans or to the Hungarians, and lately sum-
moDed all the Archdukes into council, before taking
the final step advised by the German Ministers, lead
ing to a rupture with Hungary. The Minister
Schmering insists upon the dissolution OF the
Diet and of all the County Assemblies which might
prove refractory, but the Emperor hestates as yet
to widen the breach which separates Hungary from
his Government Could he only get loan without
any constitutional forms, he would prefer TO abolish
both the Hungarian and Austrian Constitutions,
and rule by the sword IN an absoiutst way.
The capitalists however, are not over-anxlOus to
supply him with money for carrying on system
which has ruined the Austrian finances. Were, on
the other hand Italy more powerful and threatening,
he would soon come to terms with Hungary; but
the condition of Naples where Ciadini is unable to
put down the guerrillas whom he still calls ROBBERS,
gives hope to Francis Joseph Of seeing Victor
Emanuel expelled from the south. One.third Of
the regular Italian army had to be withdrawn from
Upper Italy TO fight the insurrectOn which sur
rounds the Southern capital. But as long as Ma
poleOns army protects Rome the center OF counter
revolution, Naples will always be oyerrun by des.
peradoes enlisted and paid by the ex-King OF
Naples 1t is said that Napoleon takes Cialdini's
administration for the last trial. to gee whether
the PiedmOntese Government can keep the South In
order and subsection But should the General fail,
then the French will occupy Naples for Murat.
Scarcely had these rumors been spread abroad by
some papers, when a strong English feet made
its appearance in the Gulf of Naples as counter
demonstration in favor of Italy and Victor Emanuel
In Germany the National Society for the unity Of
The country is to meet in few days at Heidelberg
and to exert pressure upon the Princes TO fol-
low the example OF the Duke of SaXe-C0burg, who
has incorporated his soldiers into the Prussian army.
The Grand Duke of Baden seems TO be inclined to
do the same, but all the host of Kings and Princes
Of Southern Germany are opposed TO such scheme,
which would soon lead to Prussian supremacy.
Even Prince Albert has joined that opposition, and
in the name Of the eventual rights of his Prince
Alfred he solemnly protested against his brothers
determination of transferring part of his soye-
reign rights to Prussia. In the midst Of such divi-
Visions in the North and center Of Europe, Napo-
Icons power becomes paramount.
