RUss,As STANDING IN EUROPE.
II is apparent to all who have watched the progress
of events during the past year that Russia through
her sxiful diplomacy, has succeeded in raising
her standing immensely one of the
Powers of Europe, and that she now oc.
cupes a position and yields an influence
in European politics that she could scarcely have
hoped for after the close the Crmcan war; Russian

URGING ENGLAND TO REPLY
