Prince lsOrtschakOff,s Retirement.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to the Dafly
GortschakofS retirement from the imperial
chancellorShip has caused no surprise here. But
for the German intrigue against nun, ne would
qufred, despite i'll health, that he should retain
his Office until the attacks on him had ceased.
The name Of various persons are mentioned In
connection with the probable succession; even
that OF Gen. Ignatieff is limited at. Count Schou
ValOn does not seem to have any chance as he is
believed to be in complete disfavor owing to the
efforts of a parsonage whose influence over the

knowledged and exercised only in private. Pal
lace intrfgues are nearly as common in Russia as
at Constanttnople."

mored at Vienna. The story Of female enemies
at the Russian court overthrowing Count Schou-
