The Russian Fleet In New York

- rol" the first time ín many years the citizons of New York may seo a sight iu tlic waters of our noble ba}1, the like of which there is but too much reasou to ftiar may be more familiar to us iu tlie future than it lias been i: the p:ist. A foreign ñeet of proportions ruore tban rcspeetabJe is now rapidly assembling in our waten, and within the next fow days tlie friendly flag of the Russian empire will float ovev no fewer thaa eiiht vessels of war iu the harbor of New York. It is natural a'id inevitable tliat epeculation should be busy among us with regard to the causes whioh have dotermined tho eoncentration here oí' so considerable a foree, and should tlie llussiau Aduiiral be foüowcd, as it is alreudy ruuaored that he is ükely to be, by flag oíEeers and fleets of other European powers, it will be impossible for the blindest not to sce tlie epoeh so mueh dreaded by our fathers, in which the aifairs of America should be daugerouslj complieated with the policy of Europe, is already closing in upou us. Meanwhile, however, let us íind nothing but ivords of frank and cordial welcorae for these visitors wiw) repreeut to us the one great power which has boca opeuly and pertiistuutly friendly ta the governinent and to tho Oauso of the Union. The relations of llugsia with the United States have always been frank and cordial. Our iuterests nowhere clasb, and despite the profound dissimilai ity of our política 1 institutions there is much of positive aualogy in the circumstauces of the two countries. - N..Y. Warld.
