Pererspure, Oct. 24, 1870. ‘Phe attitnde of Russia in the war between France and Germany 1a entirely misunderstood and mmis- Topresented, aud nowhere moro s0 than m the United Staiea; and therefore it is that I propose to | give your readers a true tdea of the matte. It 9 very natural that the miscouception should ay | Decause when people do not know the internal con- dition of a country they are uot very apt to under- atand its external policy. ‘The position of Russia claims peace. Ita material interests require peace, Its railways engage about @ thousand million of roubles, The fluanclal part of the emancipation reform has yet to bo achieved; the social aud jartdical parts of tt have beca already achieved, but the Qnanclal part is stil jacompiete. Bo that peace is for Russa an absolute necossity, and no one realizes the faci more th an the Ewperor himself, ‘The destinies of Russia arc tn the hands of aA man who is, by his personal and religious convictions, an enemy of war. Ho considers war as somotiing barbarous; he has a tender and good heart, and bis embition is to inake conquests at home—conquests of Industry, conquests of commerce, conquests of woclal reform, ‘These are the only conquests to which he aspires, Although resolutely determined mot wo make war, he ia equally resolved to resist any aggression made upon Russia or Russian interests. Ofthis he gave @ proot in the Polish campaign of 1863, when Napoicon eudeavored to get up a Euro- pean coalition against him. He docs not carry his pacific tendencies se far as to submit to any attack upon Russia or her interests, but, se long as no such. Qttack 14 made, he Is periectiy decided to keep tho peace. Just before the ontbreak of the present war the Emperor Alexander spent some five weeks at Burs im the closest intercourse and intimacy with iis uncle, the King of Prussia, He leit there for St. Petersburg m the beginning of Juiy with tho most sincere conviction that Prussia Would not seek a war wita France, and that sho ‘Was even determined to avold such a war aa long as she could possibly do so without sacrificing the great principic of national unity and without losing her national prestige, Conviction that Prassia, although pactfca'ly dis- posed, was perfectly reedy for war, because she was fm daily expectation of receiving provocation from France. But the Emperor Alexanfer had not Teeched St. Peicrsbnrg when the news of the Hohen- zolern question came up. His first movement was ‘to say to both parties, “For Heaven’s sake, avoid ‘war!’ At Paris, us well as at Berlin, his Ministers ‘were ordcred to , in the mest pressing way, measures of conciliation, At flrst hts endeavors were mot unsuccessfal. If the King censenied to Induce ‘Prince Hohenzoliern to reject ure candidacy of the Spanish throne it was due solely to tue intervention of Russia and 4c the very friendly relations existing between the Emperor and the Prassiaa King. After that Nepoleon, who was firmly determined Upon making war, demanded from the King of Prussia a written promise tuat no member of tho toyal family ef Prussia should accept the Spanish throne, To such an arrogant demand, insolently Pressed by the Freuch Minister Benedettl, the King could not yleid without completely abdicating his honor and prestige, and without creating a fecling Of the deepest indignation-turoughout the Kingdom. But, notwithstanding this convincing proof of tho dercrmination of Napeleonto havea war atany price, tho Russian government agatn cndoavered te concilt- ate, aud the imperial Cabinet more tian Binted at— even offered—a compromise on the following terms:—Ta2t the represent: es of ail the great Powers at-Lonilon should state Ina proteeci the fact of the King of Prussia’s prohibition of the accept- ance of the Spanish throne vy Prince Hotenzollern, thus giving a solemn form. to the concession of the King, without injuring nis dignity, Hven that was refused by France, Napotcon was determined not to be satisfied with any concession. Thodeclaration of wur followed and hosiitities were began on we part of France. Then Russia, secing that it was impossivle to pre- vent war, cpplicd al! means in her power te localize ttand to restrict its calamities. The Ruesian gov- ernment was aware of the fact that there existed a secret treaty between Austria aud Fraace, by the terms of which Austria bound herself, atier the very first victory gainea by Freace on the right bank of the Rhine, to send 200,009 men into Stiiesia. The Russian government therefore most firmly and most categorically, putting aside all diplomatic ferms and Phrases, netified botm Frence and Austria that it wished to localize the war and to observe tue strict- est neutrality; but that it would do eo only on the condivion that Austria and Italy (for italy was also a party to the secret treaty)should not interfere; that if Austria should send one regiinent to the froutier Russia would send two, and that if Austria should . Juin France Russia would join Prussia. Ue word, the Russian Cabinct left it.to the French government s tochoose between the hostility of Russia and the aid of Austria, saying to it in.substance:—“Lake your ePhoice. IM yau persuade Austria to joln you in this swWar we tell you fa advancathat we shall be aga'nst syou.”” »At the game time Russie used all her influence at Copenhagen aad at Stockhelin to prevent Den- mark and Sweden from parucipating in the war. “Moe heirto tae Russian throne, with hts wife, the Princess Dagmar, daughter to.the King of Denmark, ‘went lo Copenhagen to maintain that monarch in a eondition of meutyality and succeeded in dog so. fue neutrality of Denmark being thus secured that ef Sweden was also secured, apd thus Russia, by her own efforis, sueceeded In locaiizing the war and mm preventing the general collapsa.of all the Powers, Doeausge all the otier.eecondary Powers of Europe Would ave been more or less involved in the struggle.ond ine whole of Europe woald have. been scene of war, devastation and carnage. Such was Buvsta’s policy at.tpe beginning.of the war and Such was jhe positiva that she occupied until the capitulation at Sedan. In adopting and pursuing that poiicy the Russian gorernment was tho more to be commended because 1¢ had to maintaia @ straggie against public opinion in Russia, which sPublic opiaton was, at the beginning of the war, bit- erly opposed to Germany and favorable to France. ‘This siate of feeling can ve ascrived to two causes. At, was due, firat,aud principally, to the fear, of the Peo-Germanistio,ulea and of the purpose of Prus- siaito absorb the Baltic provinces belonging to the empire of Kussla, and partly, algo, to the personal feeling or the Russian people against the predomi. | nating position assnpmed in the government by Germans and by persons from the Baltic provinces Garing tho reign of the Emperor Nicholas, But the government, without losing sight of the possible dangers to be apprehonded from Pau-Germanism, ‘understood that those dangers were less serious aud more remote thad might arise from the success of France in tis war, and therefore, resisting and eorrecting the tendency of public opinion, it main- “tained the line of policy whieh it had adopted, in the firm and rational ayd well founded con- ‘vietion thitit was the best policy for Russia and for Europe. After the capitulation at Sedan and the fali of Napoleon, the Emperor of Russia, in a private letter to the King of Prussia, complimented him warmly on the victories and the glory which he had Achteved, but at the same time expressed the hopo that the fall of Napoleon would put an end to tho War, and thatthe King of Prussia would achieve the greatest of all victories in showing moderation and generosity. The impertal Cabinet endeavored pod bring the Cubinet of Engian1 to express the same Seutiments, but tae Englisn Cabinet declined to do 80, and, for reasons which are not easily explained, it scemed rather to prefer a couuuance of the war. More than that, the British policy was exercised in Vienna in keeping Auaivia sixo ju thd samo gterie j He carried with him aiso the | “have kept it long afloat, as, by its cate 4nd inhuman position arid in proventing her gov- ernment from adopting the Russian line of policy. The Russian Cabinet acted in the same way in Its dealings with the government improvised in France, It has been asserted, gratuitousty and untruly, that Russta did not want to have anything to do with the French provistoual government—the Goverament of the National Defence—becanze it was a republican one, It has been asserted that Russia has an invinct- ble horror of the vepnbitcan form of government, ana that, for the purpose of preventing the ostablish- meut of a republic Mm France, sho was ready to co- Operate in the restoration of Napoleon, That 3 a gvcat mistake, There la no wuth Init, Russia has no horror of a republican forin of government, and the proof of that is furnished by the fact that the government with which Russia is on the best and most intimate terms is the American republic, and that, when the same Napoleon, in 1861, spared no | geductions and ofers to induce Russia to J mm him, morally, at least, 1f not m«toriatly, for the eradica- Won of the republican form of government in Ame- rica, Russia declined to do so, stating that Americ. ay itisis a blessing and a necessity to mankind, Auother proof of the same fact is that the only repubile In Euroye—Switzoriand—ts on very good terms with Russia, and that the Emperor Alexander 1. was, in 1515, the most active friend and protector of Swiss nentrality and mdcpendence. Besides, the Russian government has a general principle, not to interfere {n the internal affairs of other peoples and Notto allow othor nations to Interfere in tts affairs, Consequently, very far from being hostile to the government which was organized. in Paris after the fall of Napolcon, tho imperial Cabinet gave to tt cor- dial and iriendly connsels, saying to it, “You will be in the right a8 long as you call yourselves the ‘Government of tho Nailonal Defence; but you are bound to consult France and to have your powers ratified by a national election or to surrender them to whomsoever France will olioove. So long as you Will maintain that position we will recognize your legitimacy and will be willing to prove to you our best wishes for the maintenance of the territorial integrity of France." The imperial government further said to the French provistoual government:— You throw all the responsibilily for the war on the shoulders of Nupolcon. In that you are not just. No doubt Na- Poleon misled you} but you followed him; you ap- proved this war, Consequently, France has hor shore of the responsibility aud must suffer the pon- ality of her action, In declining all conces- sions you expose France %o the greatest dangers and you place thoso who wish well to France in the impossibility of helping you. You must pay the costa of the war—a war provoked solely by France—and you must give guarantees against the renewal of @ similar war. These guar- antees will be beat found in a dismantling of the fortresses and a general disarmament, which 18 a necessity to France herself afterthe immense losses she has sustained. On this ground we will help ou and speak frankly our opinion to Prussia.” The same idcas were expressed to M.

THE LATEST BREACH OF PROMI the Affections of a Middio Aged Grass Wicew=—The Striklag Contrast in Their Stories. A suit for alleged breach of promise of marriage came up yesterday for trial belore Judge Jones, of the Superior Court, presenting some Interesting as well asunusual features, in which Frances Kushy is the plaintiff and Alexander Bertram defendant. Both the parties are Germans, but tho plainuim much older than the defendant and with litue in her ap- pearance or mannners calculated to incite anything akin te “Love’s Young Dream’? in an ordinary mas- culine breast, While she was coarse looking and dowdlly dressed, he was quite sprucely attired and altogether of a decidedly genicc) and prepossessing air, being bookkeeper in a large importing house, AS @ étill furtier — contr, she talks our language with difliculty, wile he is as muchy at home in it a3 in his own ver- nuenlar, Bhe had an invent ip her arms, the pa terpity of which she charges w bua, aud for his refusal to teke upon himself those. vows giving legttiinacy-to the offspring she agatust him for alleged breach of promise of mar- riage, and asking $5,000 ag a beallng salve for Jer blighted affeciions. AER STORY AS FIRST TOLD. A rambling, discursive story was ers as revealed in her testimony, She formed the xcquaintance of the defendant i July, 1808, dn this ¢tty. He at once rofessed to be greatly enamored of her, repeated his visits with great irequency, um@ at length the old, old 61 of women’s wrongs-—taader promuse of marriage, she yielded marital right? to him without the prettmivary precaution of the marriage formula. And still he kept pane her, so ran on her smarrative, and stil) renewed his premise of marriag when finally he flatly refused to Keep his contract with her. A child was born, the fratt of this “inti- macy,” and she now appealed to the jaw and the courts to redress her ixreparabie injuries.
