casion of great demonetration OF popular
lsympatby.p, Tbs Russian Admiral has been
entertained 1t apublio dinner, and eppears 70
have repaid the hospitality Of bis Republican
hosts BY making q speech which produced "a
great sensation" He 10 reportea 70 nave said
that the Russians were prepared for any sacri.
fice; that as Moscow was burned, they would
not shrink from the burning Of 81. Petersburg,
n ID should be necessary; but that II foreign ma

ceiye peace on honorable terms, and blesa God
for IL! All this was natural enough under the
circumstances, although the Admirable condi-
tional promise to "bnrn ST. Petersburg" was
wholly gratuitous, and savored somewhat of
the bDmbastlc.
But the Russian orators who took part In this
ldemo asttation exhibited, IL must be confessed,

We can very we'll believe that the object Of the
ovation was less to do honor to the Russians
than to afford an opportunity for the public and
formal expression of feelings Of raucorous hos.
tility and inveterate hatred against England
and France. But we do not suppose that any
body on this side OF the Atlantic will care one
jot about It,
The naval officers of Great Britain want no
"ovations" from men who systematically mis-
