Russian Diplomacy.

LONDON, April l0.-Apropos to the
present situation, the views OF one of the
greatest English statesmen upon the sub
ject of Russian diplomacy, may be quoted.
Lord Palmerston wrote to Lord Clarcn-
don, July 81. 1888:
''The policy and practice of the Rus
sian government has always been to push
forward its Entertainments as fast and as
far as the apathy or want of firmness of
other governments would allow it to 60,
but always to stop and retire when it was
met with decided resistance, and then to
wait for the next favorable opportunity
to make another spring on its intended
victim. In fuftherenee of this policy, the
Russian government has always had two
strings to its bow-moderate language
and disinterested professions at ST. Peters
burg and at London; active aggression by
its agents on the scene of operations. If
the aggressions succeed locally. the Peters
burg government adopts them as fait
accomph, which it did not intend, but
cannot in honor recede from. II the
local agents fail, they are disavowed and
recalled, and the language previously held
is appealed to as a proof that the agents
have overstepped their instructions. This
was exempliied in the treaty Of Unkiar-
Skelessi, and in the exploits of Simoni-
witch and Vikovitch in Persia. Orlof
succeeded in extorting the treaty of
Unkiar- Skelessi from the Turks, and it
was represented as a sudden thought,
suggested by the circumstances of the
time and place, and not the result of any
previous instructions; but having been
done, it could not be undone. On the
other hand, Simonivitch and Vikovitch
failed in getting possession of Herat, in
consequence of our vigorous measures of
resistance; and as they failed. and when
they had failed, they were disavowed and
recalled, and the language previously held
at Petersburg was appealed to as a proof
OF the sincerity of the disavowal,
althoughno human being with two ideas
in his head could for a moInen doubt
that they had acted under specific in.
structions.

Russia in Good Condition to Fight.
LONDON, April l0.-The illusion under
which the British admiralty and dealers
in American cereals and petroleum have
been laboring, that England could, in the
event Of war, effectually blockade all the
Russian ports, has been rudely dispelled
by reliable information just received from
English correspondents in Russia. In
stead of being able to shut out Russia
from competition with other powers for
the grain trade of the continent, England
will have her hands full to retain her
supremacy over Russia on the high seas
without attempting to use her feet for
blockade purposes. According to the
latest statistics received at the British adj
miralty, the Bussian fleet in the Black
sea consists of four heavy iron-clads, three
torpedo rams. two Popoffs, two plated
gunboats, four covettes, about twenty
steamers, fourteen screw ~schooners, and
as many torpedo boats and a number of
smaller vessels. The Baltic sea fleet,
which was already very powerful, is being
increased by the addition Of one heavy
iron clad, the Moskwa, seven plated
cruisers, and two torpedo rams. All the
new iron-clads are the strongest ships
Russia possesses. Their dimensions
are; Greatest length Tram included, 345
feet; greatest breadth, 6S feet 4 inches;
middle depth, 25 feet: displacement, o.
600 tons; armament; six 30-centimetre
pieces, arranged in 3 barbette towers, and
and I l5-centimetre pieces in the case
mated battery. The strength of the iron
plating is variously given at Ss to As cen
timetres. The cruisers are Of 5000 tons
burden, with II %cannons, G Of which are
of large calibre, and their speed l6 knots
an hour. The torpedo rams have a dis
placement of 1900 tons and go IA and a
half knots an hour. They are heavily
armed with 2 torpedo apparatus, G 9-inch
and 4 smaller guus. Russia is now more
powerful at sea than she has been since
the Crimean war. Besides her two great
fleets in the Black and Baltic seas, Russia
has 3 fotillas, counting together about 70
steamers and vessels, in Siberia and the
Caspian and Aral seas. Since the Arch
duke Alexis assumed control of the Rus
sian navy. three years ago, it has been en-
tirely reorganized, and greater energy
reigns in it than at any period during the
past fifty years.
