A REVOLUTION IN RUssIA.-The Pail Mall
Gazette says: A new paper. entitled the Nation
al Cause ('NarOdnoje Dielo') has just been
brought out by the Russian emigrants at Gene
va. 1t appears from the first number that a
new revolutionary party is being formed in
Russia whose object is to overthrow the poiti-
cal of the empire, but not, like that
socialist agitation. The new paper strongly
protests against this policy. urging that the
cause of Russia's weakness as a State is not the
political servilty OF the people, but the false
principles on which the emancipation of the
seIfs has been based, and the consequent
distress of the agricultural population. 1t
thinks that both Russia and the European
revolution, which can alone secure the we'll
being OF the laboring classes, and that such a
revolution could be most easily organized in
Russia, where 1t would also have the best chance
Of success.
