81. Petersburg. Jan. 6, 1855 a. m.-The
Associated Press has been permitted
to inspect report prepared for the EN-
peror regarding the situation In the
Baltic provinces. The report declares
that though open revolt has been
crushed In many parts of the prov
inces and though the local authorities
who were deposed by the revolution
lists are resumlng the reins of govern
ment under the protection Of the troops
the situation is still very serious
one.
In the districts OF Dorpat and Pernau
IN northwestern Livonia, the troops are
unable to move except In heavy force
a body OF cavalry which made 0 forced
night march from Walk surplfred an
insurgent band at Rueu, but the peas.
ants resisted until their ranks had been
torn and shattered, when they sprren-
dered their arms and their leaders.
There Is a strong concentration OF
insurgents In the villages OF Meigekul
and Lencal, farther to the Nest&ard.
which must be attacked and broken
up.
A band OF insurgents attacked Gen.
Norlof and his escort of squadron
OF cavalry near Marienburg, but the at
tack was repulsed and the leaders we're
captured. The latter were immedi-
ately tried by drumhead court martial
and shot.
The adyices received by the govern
ment report the capture OF an import
ant arsenal of the revolutionists at
Temernlk, In southern Russia. I'm which
were found not only rifles. bombs and
explosives, bur also small field gun
Another arsenal near Nakhitechevan
caught fire and an explosion followed,
resulting In the killing OF IL persons
and the wounding Of nine Others
The Novoe Vremya is printing a se-
res of articles In defense OF Premier
White, which are attracting much at
tention and are assumed TO be inspired
by the premier himself. The most i'm
portant statement made IL that White
has taken a definite resolution to re-
tire as soon ms the national assembly
meets. With the turning over of the
reins of power to the peoples rep
resentatives he will regard his task
as finished.
The whole course of events since the
reform manifesto was issued is attrl-
buted by the paper to the refusal of
the Conservatives to support the gov
of the reforms which Wittee and his
cabinet have been continually berated
for not realizing were not promulgat-
ed because every bit OF leeway given
was seized on by the reds to advance
the cause of am armed revolution, until
finally the government, being without
the active support OF the conservative
classes, was forced In self-protection
to adopt repressive measures
The policy 1t Is now following is
solely for the purpose of making posi-
Bile the holding Of the elections and
accelerating the convocation OF the ma
tional assembly The government IL
yet uncertain as to what the results
of the elections will be. but II is con-
fdent that the parties OF law and order
Will have a majority.
All the rumors that Whites position
IL shoky are characterized as pure in
ventlons. The writer of the article
says:
White Is as firm IN the saddle as
ever. His health is good and he is
proceeding on the conviction that at
least quarters OF TIE Russian
people approve OF his struggle against
the revolution"
