Wmrr 't'tta,CzIitt HAS 'ro Attsivcii roti. —Thc reign of Nicholas has been consider- ed ns a time of peace, and yet, in the course oftwenty-eight years, he has sacrificed the lives of 600,000 Russians in attacks upon the Circnssiuns; 300,000 of his subjects fell from disease or in battle, in the_ctiinpaigns against Turkey in I828 and I529; and ' the present war he has probably lost 50,000 or 60,000 more. Besides these losses must bettdded those which took place in Persia, Polantl.‘atrd Huqary, and we should then have a grand total of considerably more than one million deaths among his Russian subjects only; and if to these we were to add the number of deaths ittflicted upon the various races with tviiotn those were were carried on, we should have lictwecii iwoand three millions of lives sacrificed.—~L)iidon Jllus.
