their linseed, ﬁax, corn and tallow for ex- portation, which is estimated to have cost thorn one-tliird of their income during the past year, although they have saved them- selves from absolute ruin, by the transporta- tion of their wool overland to Germany. The late expedition to the Azoﬁ' it appears inflicted less loss upon the Russian govern- ment than upon individuals; for ‘of the immense quantities ofcorn destroyed there, ‘not more than one ﬁfth was intended for itlie troops, the remainder being private property.

“The second oppressive effect of the war is felt through the conscription tax, . which, always severe, (being at the rate of ‘seven men yearly from every thousand sert's,) had been, during the past eighteen months, at the rate ofthirty-six from every thousand. In addition to the loss forever ofthese men, the propietor is obliged to pay about forty dollars for the outﬁt and arms of each recruit, and to send with every body oftliose recruitsa contingent, amount- ing to about one and a half their number, to provide forthc rejection as unﬁt forservice.

“ The third source ofthe woes of war to the home-dwelling Russian, is one inﬁnite and various in its elements, and known under the name of voluntary contribution. These contributions are made at require- ment; and during the past year have been astonishingly large and frequent. 'l‘licy consisted, for instance, from one estate. on which are thirteen hundred serfs, offorty oxen for rations,--ﬁve wagons with a pair of horses and a driver each for the trans- port of troops to the Crimea,—thirty-six thousand pounds of biscuit, which were made and delivered in four weeks during harvet, requiring the labor oftwenty oxen and drivers for four months,—ten wagons more with a pair of horses and a driver each,—$-I50 in money, in place of more oxen for rations,—and ﬁnally of sevcnt - two thousand pounds more of biscuit. in addition to voluntary contributions at this enormous rate, proprietors, great and small,

which “ prevails through the empire, as we know from the present and riiauy other reliable authorities. this, rain is brought iipou the tailors, shoernakers, and mechanics ofall kinds, who are forced to supply their wares to the army.”

These evelations are indeed terrible- we conﬁdently believe that they are not over-coloured. The object aimed at by the Allies, in their invasion of the Crimea, ifsliould Sebastopol not be taken, is to a great extent already attained. Russia, attacked on both extremities, is being bled to death; compelled to transport every man, and every ration to feed him, hundreds, and, almost, thousands of miles across dreary stepper and pestilent morasses, she is, already, in the second year of the war, worried out; while the resources ofEnglnnd and France, as yet, are barely touched.

“ It will be seen,” says one writer, “ by a careful perusal of the foregoing statement offucts, that all classes of Russia must ardently desire peace, as the only means of preserving them from ruin, to which the scrf-owners are more exposed than any other class, from the continual drain upon their resources, already much diminished by debts. They are an improvident race. Many of the lower orders hoped for a. great improvement in their position from the success of the allied armies; but they are disheartened by the length of time they are obliged to wait. They cannot deﬁne what they expect; but that they hoped for great advantages, I have no doubt, from several conversationsl have had with intelligent men in the peasant class—men who can neither read nor write, but who, by the force of their natural shrewdness, can under- stand thata change must and will come. They looked upon the French and English as the heralds of this change. Had the war been pushed with suﬁicient vi or from the beginning, there is no doubt, at that the owor of Russia would have been humb ed effectually by defolts in-the fron- tiers and internal issensions.”
