eral, comprises CnOee VINO cOrdlally approve VI
tho reforms Of the Emperor. and who have
gained for him in the lower classes of the PEG.
Die a popularity without parallel in the annals Of
Russian history.
The Conservative party, on the other hand,
consists of those who prefer to this liberal policy
of Alexander III. the absolutism which prevailed
under the reign of Nicholas. They beittle all
the measures that have been taken by the new
Emperor, and try their utmost to deprive him OF
bis popularity. They are especially indignant at
the abolition of SerfdOm. 1t is they who, at
present, cry loudest for Constitution; as they
believe that the only Constitution at present pos
sble will be a representation of the nobility,
limiting the absolute power Of the Emperor
and checking further reforms.
The same reason which renders the retrograde
party among the nobility so favorable to
representative Constitution, induces large
portion of the liberal msnarchical party to op
pose such measure for the present. They
feel confident that the Emperor, if left free,
will promote the spread of civilization among
the masses of the people more efectually than
if fettered by House of Representatives, IN
which possibly at the first the Influence of the
retrograde monarchical party might be too
strongly felt. Among the foremost leaders OF
this liberal party are mentioned the TWO
brothers Mllyutin, one OF whom has been
in the staff of Prince Bariatinsky in the eau
casus and has since been called BY the En-
peror into the Ministry of War, while the other
is adjunct of the Minister Of Justice, and has
been. in particular, Dtrusted with carrying
out the scheme of Emancipation. Both OF them
enjoy the reputation of eminent ability and oil
liberal sentiments. Next to them in influence
ia Prince ObOleasky, Intendant General oil
the Navy, who has been recently appointed
President of q Committee which has to revise
the Russian laws on tue press, aud from which
the definite abolition of the censorship is ex-
pected. Another officer Of the Ministry Of the
Navy, Mr.. Glebon. has recently prepared the
draft of new penal code for the Navy, which is
entirely based on the principle of public and
oral procedure. The Governor of Nshni-
Novgorod, MursyieI, who, under Nicholas, was
exiied to Siberia, and Barauoff, the Adjutant-
General and fayorite of the Emperor, who is
said to be very popular in the Army are like
wise mentioned among the advanced Liberals.
The author of this pamphlet, in the name OF
the Liberal party OF Russia, calls on the En-
peror TO listen TO the just demands Of the
Poles, and give to them the same rights which
the Russians are now enjoying. " Neither for
Poland nor for Russia" he says in cOnclu-
sion, 4" do We wish Constitution. because we
are Democrats, and because 4 Constitution
could create at present only an ohgarchy. May
you be strong aud absolute, Sire; but use your
absolute power to restore TO US the liberties OF
winch your predecessors have deprived US.
But, 10 order that you may be strong, your
Ministers must be responsible, because only
then they cannot so shameles'ly abuse
their master; the Press must be free, for only
through it can the wishes of the people arrive
at the throne; the Government must have
weil.regulated fnaDces, and the only means to
attain this is the publication OF fixed budget"
More recent advices from Russia acquaint
us with the appearance Of new cIandestine
periodical, WHICH calls, in the namo OF the
Russian Slayonians, for q restoration OF Po-
llrh independence and for National Parlia-
ment, and threatens q revolution. The Ian
guage of this periodical confirms what the
author Of the above pamphlet says about The
sympatbcs of the Russian Liberals with PO-
land; but it also points to the existence Of
more advanced progressive party than the
one to which the pamphlet belongs.
