RUSSIA.

The Einperor of Russia issued orders to his army to
wear mourning during three days for the late Count
Radetzky, who was e Russian as well as an Austrian
Marshal. A military deputation was to be sent from
Warsaw to Vienna to attend the obsequies of the
Marshal.

The roadsteads of Taganrog and Rarioupol are
frozen over; so is the mouth of the Don. The Wolga
is also frozen, and navigation stopped at Astrachan.
The navigation of the Sea of Azoff is closed. Ten
vessels were obliged to leave Taganrog without taking in
their full cargoes.
A telegraphic line is now open between Revel and
Rielegram from St. Petersburg, dated January 11,
says :
"The nobles of the district of Nijni-Novgorod have
just followed the example of the nobles of Lithnania and
B.t. Petersburg, and have asked the Emperor's permis-
sion to enfranchise their serfs. The Emperor immedi-
ately granted their request."

neat
The Leoompton constitution, which introduce slavery
Into the State, has been been voted at Kansas, and civil
Orifo bee broken out, A fight took plea between the

Government troops and & body of Pro-Slavery men, in
which several were killed and wounded, including the
United States' Marshal for the district. General Lane!
the leader of the Free State troops, was entrenched
with a large number of followers at Sugar Mound, and
was determined to engage with the Government dragoons
if they made an attack. At the latest dates a battle
was considered inevitable. . . . .

Walker' the Filibuster General, having sailed from
Mobile in the Fashion steamer, succeeded in eluding the
cruisers commissioned to intercept him, and in landing ,
with his little band of buccaniers on the Nicaraguan
coast. As the design of the expedition has been per-
fectly notorious, and its illegality beyond all doubt,
orders has been formally issued 157 the United States'
Government that it should, if possible, be stopped. Off
the very point where Walker landed—Punta Arenas—
lay an American ship of war, the Saratoga the com-
mander of which, however, could not satisfy himself,
after overhauling the Fashion, that he would be justified
in siezing her, and the General therefore disembarked
his forces without interruption, and proceeded to exe-
cute his projects. In virtue of his pretensions he styled
his followers the "Army of Nicaragua ;" himself
"Commander-in-Chief" and "President" of the State;
and, by way of symbolising all these claims, and expres-
sing the position he had Assumed, he hoisted the
Nicaraguan flag at his "head-quarters" at Punta
Arenas, by the mouth of the river Ban Juan. On the
6th of December the United States' steam frigate
Wabash, with Commodore Paulding on board, arrived
off Punta Arenas, and was followed on the same day
by the British ships Brunswick and Leopard. Shortly
afterwards the American steamer Fulton joined the
squadron, so that Walker stood in the presence of an
overpovrring force. Two days after his arrival Com-
modore Paulding brought the guns of the Saratoga to
bear upon the Filibusters' head-quarters, sent his flag-
captain ashore with 400 men from the Wabash, and
summoned Walker to surrender. The freebooting
General showed his discretion in avoiding a hopeless
conflict, hauled down his flag, gave himself up as pri-
soner, and passed with the chief portion of his army
into the peaceful custody of the United States' officers.
Commodore Paulding sent him on his parole to New
York, there to deliver himself up to the proper officer,
the United States' Marshal, • condition which the
General duly fulfilled. The Marshal carried his prisoner
to Washington, but there the authorities declined to
, recognize the capture, and Walker was released! Great
, excitement has been created in America by this affair;
! and the enlistment of Filibusters for Walker's next
expedition progresses rapidly. 800 had already left
Texas for Nicaragua, and at New York about 1,400 only
awaited transport.
