Ile does mot give: up all. hopes, low- cver, and will continue his efforts for some tlmo longer. The Emperor thinks that tho inftaence and dignity of Russis would suffer if she conceded what England demands, Aud that England would galn correspondingly. e is therefors willing to take tho chances of war, o that, If England expects to galn her point, it muat bo at cnormous sacrifices of blood and treasure, which will make the gain as dear gs possible.
