RUSSIAN VIEWS ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF INDIAN FORCES. A London special says that Count Sehouvaloff brought up the question of employing Indian troops in European warfare, and selling arms to Asiatic people, especially to the Chinese. He wished, ho said, to induce Congress to look upon this subject without passion, and regard it as affecting the interests, and perhaps the very existence of European civilization. He cited the opinion of an eminent savant, who had lately pointed out that had the ancient Greeks posses ed even the rudest of our modern arms, they could have rolled back the barbarian hordes who swept them away, but the experience of the late campaign had shown that war was no longer a contest in which superior physical strength and moral courage would win the victory. Turkey, armed with a ride mado in the United States, and entrenched in a position, chosen and fortified by military skill, had been able to hold at bay for weeks the flower of the Russian army, and the best and bravest and most ardent of soldiers. If the countless hordes of China and India are to be permitted to arm themselves with modern weapons, and acquire a practical knowledge of the art of modern warfare, there will be nothing to prevent them from rolling forth into Europe and crushing Christian civilisation out of existence, especially where Mongolians were concerned, from this point of view, and he invited Congress to take the matter into its serious consideration, and deliberate upon the practicability of a league of European powers, binding them to abstain from employing Asiatic troops in Europe, and prevent, as far asj possible, the importation of arms of precision into Asia. Earl Beaconsfield is said to have made rather a light rep’y to this appeal, and to have said that at all events the subject was not at all german to Jthe objects of the Congress, and should not now be discussed. But Schouvaloff’s remarks made a strong impression upon Bismarck and Waddington, and subsequently, in a private conversation, they suggested that the subject was worthy of consideration by Congress, which was called expressly for that purpose.
