by next June. Such operations would draw the whole strength or rather weakness of the Ottomans upon us, and then my colossus might bestir himself. He is an emblem of his empii'e, — a mine of gold and arid steppes ; but my Potemkin is the better fed colossus of the two; the other dwindles as it enlarges. May God preserve to the world the great and immortal empress. But as that can be only in history, I think we ought to manage with extreme care the grand-duke, who, while he reforms a miUion of a...buses, spends miUions in generosities and is prompt, ardent, and capable of work, changing too often his opinions and his friends ever to have a favourite or a mistress, may prove very much to be feared some day, if his mother leaves him the empii-e. I think that if she has time she will leave it to the little Grand-Duke Alexander, for she alienates her son from pubHc affairs as much as she encourages her grandson by the attention she gives to forming him herself, young as he is, for government.
