| Russia, by her, position as great power,
and also on account of her numerous family
ties with the German courts, takes lively inter
est in the German question. The relations
subsisting between Russia and Prussia might
suggest to Russia the expediency and desira-
bility of making confidential communications
TO the Cabinet in Berlin in, relation to views
entertained by the Cars government upon the
recent steps adopted by Prussia. Any appre-
tensions respecting the attitude attributed to
Russia by certain German journals, will, in all
probability, speedily prove to be groundless''
The same journal hopes the Prussian Legis-
lative Chambers, by passing bill of indemnity
will end the conflict with the government. y
