London advices under date Of May
21st state that in the house Of commons,
this morning, Sir John Halker, Attorney
General, in reply to an inquiry, said
that he had heard Of ships purchased
by persons said to act on behalf Of
Russia, but there is no reason to sup
pose that ships will be employed in the
event Of war as privateers in contra
vent'on Of the Paris declaration. =.
There is no reason to believe that
the United States will depart from the
observance of the three rules Of the
Washington treaty. There is no neces-
sity for discussing the responsibility
resting on the Governments of Russia
and the United States, since there is no
reason to suppose they would violate
their respective engagements. .@

st. Petersburg advices of the Goth state
that Count Schouvaloff left for London
by way of Berlin, on Saturday, at l
o'clock, after brief farewell interviews
with the Emperor and Prince Gort-
schakof. He went straight from the
palace to the railway -station. The Car
and Count Schouvaloff are in complete
accord, Notwithstanding all rumors to the
contrary. The result of the counts
visit will remain secret, as announced
a few days ago, until after the Russian
ambassadors interview with the queen.
Nevertheless, feelings of relief and con-
tidence are too plainly evinced at palace
and among the visitors to the court to
be mistaken Or pass unnoticed.
The official Russian journals, by I'M
perial order, remain silent about Eng
land. Indeed, the departure of
Count Schouvalcff is simply an
nounced among the court news with
out comment. No more Importance
would appear (from the public prints)
to be attached to his departure than if
hewere leaving for weeks shooting.
However, the suspense is no less in
tense.
