EXILED RUSSIANS.

TORY JOURNAL’S COMMENT. LONDON, January 12. The Morning Post’s Berlin correspondent says that a further message from the Berliner Tageblatt’s Moscow correspondent, dated January 6th, received by mail, confirms the previously telegraphed statement concerning the banishment of Trotsky and others. The correspondent adds: At the moment of writing, not a word has penetrated the Russian 'public,. This explains Moscow official silence. The correspondent says that on January 3rd thirty Oppositionists wore informed that they would be despatched within three days to various distant parts of Russia. Then on January 4th the principal leaders, including Trotsky, Rakovsky, Radek, Kameneff and Zinoovieff were advised to leave Moscow, and told where it was advisable they should go. Trotsky was allotted to Astrakhan, Radek and Kameneff to Tobolsk, Siberia, and Zinovieff to a place in the Ural Mountains; and others Io the shores of the White Sea.
