OPINION IN RUSSIA. The St. Petersburg Guzetie says that Russia can- not withdraw ber declaration, vor leave It without practical coasequences. Such a proposition from the English press compels her to pursue more ac- tively than befere the realization of pega set boty e her. No one in Russia wisnes for war; but all clissea would rather consent to war than toa humutating re'ractatlonjbefore threats, unsupported by any hoy, use then relerences to the sauctity of a treaty direcied Against the country. Thé St, (etersburg seml-olictal Gloss, in reply to an article in the 7imes charging Russia with an in- tended breach of the Treaty of Paris, says that Russia scorned’ to modify that com- pact by forced interpretations, as has been s0 ofien done by her adversaries, but ane openly denounc da an agreement wiich had been violated by everybody else, Kussia, moreever, would have had no objection to lay ber grievances | before a conierence could she have hoped for re- dress. ‘Tne Goloss says it 1s Impossible not to thang the Daily New for showing plutnly what has displeased Engiand in the Russian despateh, and it thinks there is not a government in Europe which wouid declare War—not on account of the substance of the Russian demands, but of the form in which they are expressed h @ course, it says, Would be childish and pitia government should be GERMAN FEELING, The Lorth German Correspondent, in Its latest number (November 25), has the following leading article:— There is an important difference between the ob- hgauous to the Porte which have been undertaken by Engiand, France ard Austria and those of the ether Powers that signed the peace of Paris. In the reamble of the treaty, and 1n its seventh article, the Eiaependense of tue Porte and the integrity of the Otwoman empire are guaranteed. The Cabinets of Londen, Vienna and Paria undertook further obliga- tlens, and for this purpose the treaty of the loth of April, 1856, was cluded. Accerding to the latter document the Powers which signed it engaged, net oniy in Article I,, to support the independence and integrity of the Turkish empire, bus, in Article IL, to consider the violation of any stipulation of the ‘Treaty of Paris of the 30th of March, 1858, as a casus belli, ‘The great difference between these two trea- ties is obvious. Italy, Prussia and Russia have not, like the other Powers, pcan the neutraliza- tien of the Black Sea. They are not therefore af- fected by the question whether the steps taken by Russia to pnt an end tothe neutrality of thess wa- ters lorie & casus bellt or not; a8 neither the Iniepen- dence ortho Porte nor the integrity of the Ottoman empire is threatened. Italy and Prussia, therefore, yorality to the perpetual observance of that treaty.

In a sense exactly opposite to the ostensible meaning of tho words the gsllegation is perfectly true, Lord Granville has conclusively shown that the claim of a right to repudiate a part of a treaty fatally impairs the validity of the whole; end i must be remembered that the restriction which 1% pow repudiated was the Central cond tion of peace, and the principal result of the war, The immediate cause of the rupture between Russia and the West- ern Powers was the de-tructon ef the Turkish fect inthe harbor of Sinope. A‘ter a short interval of fudeciston the efforts of the allies were concentrated on the capture of Sebastopol, aud on the destruction of the Meet whica lay In Its harbor, Nothing conid be more natural of néceasary than the stipulation that tho solitary achievement of the War should not be rendered barren or useless when Russia was com- pelled to sue for peace, ‘The English sentimen- alists Who, in 1870 as 19 1864, are doing their utmost vo encourage a presumptuous adversury, condemn a3 an auomaly the prohibitions imposed oa any State of deiending — its gud harbors, A Russian Black has) never been desired —_ for “ * * Some wiseacres have latel protest against war with Russia with a revival of the idle project of international arbitration; yet a bation may as easily refuse to comply with an award as to perform a specific contract, In 1856 the heutral Powers were in fact arbitrators; and if Aus- tria Was Interested in checking Russian aggression, Prussia interfered ag the professed friend and atiy of iussia, Any other arbitrator who could nave beea selected would tnovttably have held that the paturai result of the victory of the Weatern Pewors Was the prohibition of (he renewal of 32 which tad rendered the War posslolé oF ai wry but if the restriction had been imposed by a tribunal of Quakers exiravagant peacemongers would pro- test against the forcibic execution oF the Judgment, We (Join Bull believe that the claim (8 perfect! reasonahie and te demand perfectiy just, whatever we may think of the manaer in which that demand isimade, Turkey with her feet—ber ironclad men- ofwar, commanded by a bat ea lish Cay tain—is able at any moment to lay deka, in the fipet ANG Phe asservion that Hobart Pasha has, over his Wine, boasted of tuls fact is suMctent to account for some a.xletios on the part of Russia, and sheula Suggest to us the reasonableness of her desire to guard agains! such # calamity, Nor are we dis- posed to ve unwise and blind to the reasonableness of the attitude of her government because Prince Gortchakot might have written in more polite terms or have anneunced in more honeyed langaage the re usal of Kussia to allow her coast to lle at the merey of the Angle-Tarkish bankrupt who haa at present the command of a feet parchased in Eng- land, and probably the wil to ravage the unpro- lected coasts of the count RU. 39145 PREPARATIONS, From Berlin to Warsaw-Woat was Seen on the Way--War Work in the City.

Reinforcements by Maturity of the Poputas tien, The Erchange News, of St. Petersburg, considers that about 736,000 persons will now (Noveniber) be fidded to the number of those who hitherto have been liavle to personal military service. The in. crease, therefore, will be about three per cent, reck- oning that number approxini at 26,000,000. For some time past General Fadyeef has been urging on the government the adoption of something like the Prussian military system, and at last he seems to have obtained a hearing. Just before the Franco- Prussian war broke out he retired trom the service, but before long 1t Js likely that bis name will become prominent iu Russia, A Voluminous “ Blue Book —Noperist Relax tlons to the Grent Questions of the Day, A mail telegram from Vienna, of the 2iin of Noy- ember, reports as follows: ‘The Blue Book just published contains forty-four documents on the position of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy with regard to the present war, s six on the Eastern question, thirty-six on ih 0- tiaddons with the Pope and the Roman question, ant three further documents concerning Russia. ‘The résumé of the Kiue Book particulary points out that the underlying causes of the Franco-Prus- sian war were this time more powerful than all media- tory efforts.

Whon Count Bismarck was Ambassa‘lor of Prus- ‘ sia in Paris he laid himself out, says an English | journal, to study the character of the Emperor, and sent to Berlin some remarkable despatches on nis | ambition, personal weaknesa, and intellectual racal- | ties. He detected in nim poittical propensities and | desires which he bad neither the c.caruess of head hor the strength of will to execute. Count | Bismarck systematically latd himsel! out to flatter the | vanity and the fancies of Napo.eon, who thought him- | self a master in the art of statecratt. He ailected a | dejerence for his political ideas Wwhicit he was far from | feeling, and assuimea the manners of au humule ser- | vant of Napoleon, who, he pretended to think, was alone capable of directing the atiairs of pe. | Sometimes his natural biuntuess got the beiter of | him and he indulged in a freedom of speech which | set diplomatists aghast, “We? (the Prusians), he | sald, “are stronger than you are, lor we can dash into a gigantic war without interual damger, Noth- ing would be easier than for ns to lec loose a mulion of men upon any of our neighbors.” Tu speaking thus Bismarck did notso much tutend | to frighteu the Emperor as to inspire him with @ | g.cat respect for Prussia, and to drag him into an alliance which ke hoped would be ol » utmost tm- portance in bringing Germany under the yoke of Prussia.

We are in- formed that the firm complied with the terms of 1s contract with considerabie profit. At the auction sale held in New York last week of Scranton coal, the price fell far below tho rates which had previously prevailed, and they were far below these pald by the government fur tie supply of the article to the army. Tue best Lehigh coal we daily see advertised as remarkably cheap at seven dollars aud tilty cents per ton of 2,240 pounds, but to ti.s prive must be added the cost of storing It 1n cellars, Which is, on aa average, about fifty ceats, making tie price charged smal buyers eight doilars per tou by many dealers, ‘Taking the price charged to tue government, and the returns of the New York sales, any retailer is. now making @ profit of not less than three dollars per ton on every ton sold by ulm.
