St. Petersburg, March 26, Despite the efforts of leading reactionaries to belittle the Czars rescript of March 3rd I’eCognising the elective principle, it is widely believed that the rescript represents the calm and deliberate judgment of the Government, afe distinguished from the Court party.

Buliguine’s Commission is likely to confer the elective tranchise on owners of 300 acres or the equivalent in houses ot* other property in every parish in Russia. The peasants in the Kutno district declined to furnish horses for mobilisation purposes. The crowd, which was not tamiliar with Russian methods, disobeyed the order to move, but fled when the soldiers were aiming at them, wounding many oi them in the back. Those who were injured were not allowed to be removed to their homes, but were conveyed in carts to Kutno, a six hours’ journey, without obtaining the assistance of doctors. London, March 26.
