RUSSIAN AMERICAN ALLIANCE.—

The Russian papers are discussing the subject of an American alliance apparently with great favor—one prominent journal holding that no other alliance is possible; and another, referring to our procurement of a naval station in the Mediterranean, says:

“The nearer the time approaches for the dissolution of the Turkish Empire, the more do our interests demand that part of that Empire should revert to the United States. When the latter possess a naval station in the Mediterranean, the American flag will be able to prevent the fleets of Western Europe making a forcible entry into the Black Sea, while our Baltic fleet will protect American interest in the North of Europe.”
