| THE ANTI-Russ1AN FEELING
| Especial to Trbunel The Daily news to-
| morrow will say: The anti Russian feeling in
England was dying away under the influence
OF the new IDEAS of policy and was fast becom
| ing an absolute prejudice, but the recent ac-
tlon OF the imperial government suddenly re-
vived it in more than its wonted strength. The
circular of Gortschakoff forces upon those who
hoped for better things to doubt neither after
all the great semi-Asiatic powers which occu-
pies Eastern Europe really belongs to our in
tefnational system, acknowledging the COM
mon obligations Of Christian and civilized ma
| tOns.
Turkey was comparatively the other day
brought within the public law of Europe. and
now Russia seems disposed to hanish herself
| from it. The power which discards its most
so'emn pledge as soon as an opportunity offers,
| go far to place itself beyond the range of dplo-
matte intercourse, and nation which does not
| acknowledge the force of treaties can only be
dea!t with by force of arms, if it is to be dealt
| with at all.
