says:
Russia, by her position, 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
subssting between Russia and Prussia might

biity of making confidential communications
to the Cabinet in Berlin relative to the views
entertained by the Cars Government upon
the recent step adopted by Prussia. Any
apprehensions respecting the attitude attri-
buted to Russia by certain German journals
will, in all probability, speedily prove to be
groundless. The same journal hopes that the
Prussan Legislative Chambers, by passing a
bill of indemnity, will end the conflict with
the Government. IS"
