Russia AND Misunderstanding the rebellion Rus
STA was almost the only power in Europe which
dared to avow its hearty sympathy with the Amer
lean Government in its efforts to put down treason.
while nearly every other. in some way. openly or
secretly aided the rebels. As a fitting and marked
expression of the national sympathy and feeling.
Congress has passed a resolution congratulating
the Emperor on his escape from the recent attempt
made to assasSinate him. And TO add to the COM
plimcnt. it has designated the Assistant Secretary
of the Navy. Capt Fox. to be the bearer of the
letter to II. Petersburg. He is to proceed in one
of the finest Of the w~arships and TO be accompanied
with the iron-clad monitor Mi9ntonomqL, to show
to Europe that these vessels can cross the Atlantic.
as it is generally believed there that they cannot
do 50. The whole thing i intended as the highest
compliment that can possibly be paid to Americas
best friend in the late civil war.

of citizens the success thereof, and
the cost at which, by, adopting it, we
