The conviction begins to find expression
that too saneuine view is taken Of Coun,
Schouvalof's journey to St. Petersburg. II
is argued that he can not have the mission
from the British government unless the lat
ter has consented to abandon the idea OF
European concert, and will treat directly
with Russia about special British intere.ts.
1t is conectured that Count Schouva!of
may have had personal objec,
in wishing to visit St. Petersburg,

for the duties Of the chancellorship, and the
question Of his successor is in suspense. 1t
