Prof. Yambery, 'sor their brethren

From all these facts and indications
it Is evident, therefore, that Russia
is not q passive spectator of the
course OF affairs in Europe, but is
preparing energetically to take her
share in the inevitable divisions and
distributions which are to take place:
and IN this work it Is hardly to be
doubted that she is proceeding hand

with the full concurrence Of the lat
