ENGLAND AND RUSSIA IN ASIA.  A private letter from St. Petersburgh informs us that it is rumoured in that capital that Mr Mitchell, the British Consul at St. Petersburg, has been instructed by Lord Augustus Loftus to come to England to confer with Lord Granville and Mr Hammond at the Foreign Office, and with the Duke of Argyll, Sir' H. Rawlinson, and Sir J. W. Kaye, at the Indian Office, in refeience to the communications with respect to the position of Russia. in Asia which are said to have taken place between the Cabinets of London and St. Petersburgh. The firm lanugage attributed to the English Governine..t is reported to have made a strong impression. It amounted, according to the private letter to which we refer, to ''an express statement that we could not object to an occupation of Khiva, but that, on the other hand, we could not view with indifference an advance across the Oxus. Russia refuses to give any promise, but offers to let our officers go with her army. We are firm as t,) the future. We oppose the idea of a neutral zone, suggested by .third parties, likely to send officers (for m our Military Attache), as this a Afighans, who would think we Ix Russia for their conquest."
