KA U ANN'S MISS ION.

for services rendered by said statesman nor
any hint on the part Of the Emperor as
to the hope OF being able to avail him
self of schouvalors services at some future time.
schouvaoffs recall has been greeted with delight
by the 'Russian" section of st. Petersburg's So
ciety, and the opinion is expressed that the said
recall is the work of Miloutne. who always hos
tile to the policy pursued by SchQuvalotf in Eng
land where the latter proved to be docile tool in
the hands of the Russophobians. Prince Lobanoff
Rostovsky has been again mentioned as the diplo-
matst being most likely to succeed to Schouvaot in
London. but In view of the present strained rela-
tons between Russia and England. and the threaten
ing attitude assumed by the latter toward Turkey,
the presence OF Lobanof is considered to be indis-
pensable at Corstantinople just now, and it is
sequently presumed here that the post OF Russian
Ambassador in London will be allowed to remain
vacant for time to that being also
calculated to demonstrate the displeasure of the
Russian government at the direction taken by the
spirited policy of Lord Beaconsheld's Cabinet.
RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.
The recent evolutons Of the English fleet in the
Mediterranean did fail to create considerable ex
element among the Russians. It is true that the
threatening attitude of the English naval forces
once more explained in London being the personal
initiative Of Mr. Layard. but the system adopted
the English Cabinet of discaiming any part in the
proceedings OF English officers has long since lost all
savorof novelty ana is decidedly no more believed
in here. If the sole aim of Lord Beaconsfeld in
indulging in such strange policy is to stir much
possible the hostility OF the Russians toward the
English it may be safely asserted that his efforts in
that direction are being crowned with complete
