M. Thiers, says M. Reuter, arrived at St. Petersburg on

Sep- tember 27, and descended at the " Demuth " Hotel, which being interpreted means the Hotel of Humility,—a very good hotel for the purpose of his mission. But it does not look as if that mis- sion were likely to be very prosperous. At least we are told that M. Thiers has had an interview with Prince Gortechakoff, but that he will not be received except in private by the Czar or the Czare- witch. Russia does not, apparently, intend to run any risk at present of an embroilment with Prussia. •
