court and chancellory of St. Petersburg: Not
withstanding the secrecy observed in regard tc
Count schouvaloff's reports to the Emperor
and the conferences at the foreign office, the
various points whereby real understanding
may be attained form the subject of discus
sion in well informed political circles. Al
though, in the first place, the necessity of Sc
curing the great object of the war-the indie
pendence of the Christians--is insisted upon,
there u.s. on the other hand, no disposition to

the United States may be depended on to do all
in their power to observe the treaty of Wash
ington, but even if the Russians
succeed in eqnippi3ng their little
and is much more likely to fall victim to our
cruisers than to infict damage on our mer-
chantmen. We might have some trouble at
first, but short time will suffice to clear the
sea and make the passage Of our vessels from
one port to another as safe as now.
The Queen will shortly inspect the troops at
Woolwich for the first time in 20 years.
