Home and Foreign Opinions.
London, Dec. 28
The "Novoe Vremya," the "Russ," and other Russian newspapers rejoice in the Imperial decree, especially the giving of peasants full rights, and making a Committee of Ministers the unifying centre, preventing the paralysing of the administration by differences.—German opinion is unfavourable, as the bureauoracy will be entrusted with the task of giving'effect to the scheme.
New York newspapers declare that the decree marks an advance, however slight. Russophile3 at Vienna fear the reform movement will be driven underground after impending disturbances, and vijl thereafter assume the character of Nihilism. Reformers at [St. Petersburg fear the decree will be a dead letter.—English newspapers declare the Russian Government's tworfaced attitude is shown in the intenttonal juxtaposition of the decree and the official warning to reformers.
