RUSSIA'S AWAKENING.

Will the States-General Form of

Government be Revived ?

Among those having access to the trend: of opinion in the inger official circles of Russia, as well as in the more influential classes of the nobility, there is a general agreement that the present war in the Far East means the doom of autocracy. A widespread feeling in favour of Parliamen- tary institutions does not, perhaps, exist for the very simple reason that the Russian |nation is without personal experience of their working, and the leading men are able to acquire only an imperfect and by no means impartial_iden of their methods through the study of Con- tinental models. Of these last that of the German Empire appeals most strongly to their imaginations, and for a variety of ronsons, of which not the least important is | that Parliamentary Government is consider. ed by Russians to be a failure in France, owing to the lack of stability imparted to the Administration; is believed to be more or less of a fraud as practised in the United States where the malign influence of caucuses and cliques has destroyed its use- fulness; and is adjudged to be changing its character in England in consequence of the increasing subordination of the House of
