A New Peter the Hermit Rouses Russia

A NEW Peter the Hermit has appeared in Russia in the person of Alexander Prohostchikoff, an ex-captain of the Guards, and one of the wealthiest citizens of Moscow. It is said he is employed under the highest official auspices in inflaming the populace to the requisite pitch of fury which the Russian government may care to cultivate in support of the official policy in the Eastern question. He has come to conceive, or pretend, that he has a special mission from Heaven to rouse the Russian people for a crusade against the Turks.
