Russia AID THE INTERVENTION ituMoRS.
1t is well known that in Europe and in
this country special efforts have been made
of late, says the Baltimore American, by Sc
ccssion sympatbzers, to give currency to the
absurd runner that overtures had been made
by France, and favorably received by Rus
sin, for joint proposition to Eng urging
the eally recognition Of the rebel government,
and triparti'e armed intervention to stop
hostilites. should tie war not be soon brought
to close.
The opinion We have expressed, says the
New York Times, as to the impossibility that
such a hostile coalition can take place, is con-
frmcd by an article which appeared in the
Journal de St. Petersburg, Of the 9th ultimo.
That Journal. after showing that the rumors
in question are contradicted by the positive
declaration of the Imperial Cabinet, thus pro-
| crels :

to affirm that the friendly aud conciliatcry
views of the Imperial Cabinet have not un-
dergone the slightest change. On the con

sad experience OF war, Of its calamities, it:

rather to confirm than to weaken their force.
This emphatic statement, coming from Sc
