Russia.
Tbe Czar and Czarina have ] arrived at Moscow to attend the '> French Exhibition, notwithstanding that three days before it opened four i large boxes of dynamite had been '> discovered, and were evidently intended to be used in a plot against the lite of the Czar. The Customs Department of the Exhibition allowed the boxes to pass the French and Russian frontiers unopened, as they believed them to contain exhibits of machinery. It is rumoured that a mine has been discovered leading from the residence of the Governor of Moscow across the road along which the Czar would proceed to the Exhibition ; also tbat a second mine had been found under the railway line. Extraordinary precautions have been taken against attempts on His Majesty's life, even the triumphal arches being dismantled in the search for explosives. A feeling of terror exists in Moscow, and the owners of all the houses commanding a view of the square where the Czar proposes to review the troops have been ordered to close their windows.
