London.

London, Dec. %. A letter appears in the
Times to-day over the signature of Earl Rus
sci, IN which he argues the immediate en-
bodiment of 10000 militia. In referring ia
the question of the Alabama claims and the
objection there is to any national animostv,
he instances the feeling of England during the
American revolution, when the United States
demonstrated with the English government
for not doing more by checking the building
of cruisers and plundering the Spanish and
Portuguese traders.
Prussia inviegles against England and re-
CARDS her as an enemy, whilst it treats Amer
lea as blameless and friends. These instances
show that envy and hostility pursue wealthy
commercial nations, and that the steps OF
England are logged by these nations and
it behooves England to be prepared for these
foes.
Dispatches from st. Petersburg indicate
that the war feeling is increasing in that city
and throughout Russia. The tone of the
press is imperious and dictatorial, and can in
nowise be constructed as favorable to a
peaceful settlement of the Eastern difficulty.
Troops are pouring into Cherbourg for the
defence OF that port.
At Havre an immediate attack is expected.
The Germans are approaching the place in
increased force.
Berlin despatch threatens unless Paris
soon surrenders a regular attack will begin.
