THE CZAR'S

ST. PETERSBURG, FR. 1,
The following ukase has been addressed to y
directing senate requiring it to proceed will
general arming ordered in the manifesto.
"Whereas, by our proclamation of this de) ly
have called out all ranks of the empire for the deft«
of the orthodox faith, the throne, and the couny
we command you firstly, to carry out and organ;
the general arming of the country according to ts
accompanying regulation confirmed by us; co
secondly, to take steps for completing the equipmq
and arming of the combatants in the governme%
that will be designated by us to that end in sped
ukases. The directing senate will not tail to rsalo
the necessary arrangements for carrying the oboe,
into execution.

"St. Petersburg, Jan. 29, 1855. "Nicnotas."
A ukase of the same date commands them to call nit
forthwith t he mi litia en masse in the governments of
Petersburg, Olonetz, Novgorod, Tver, Simolensk,ani
Kursk; and in the governments of 'Moscow, Vologol,
Kostroma, Nischegorod, Yarofslav, Kaluga, Cosi,
I Tula, Ryayan, Vladimir, Tambov, and Peep,
consideration that the partial levy of recruits is cloy
at band, from the 15th of February to the 15th d
March, to effect the equipment of the militia (ron
the lat of April to the let of May. In all the
governments so designated the combatants are to tx
forthcoming in the number requirtd by the regn
lation.

ST. PETERSEURG, Pas. 13.
The piens, for increasing the defence of the country, tan
been confirmed by the appearance of a pv.clamation to the
effect, and by decrees from the Emperer for organising tl,
auxiliary militia of the empire. In fact it is merely a fret
levy of twenty-one or twenty-two recruits from every the"(
sand inhabitants, which for the present will only be par
tially enforced, so as not to overburthen the eastern govern
merits, where the levy of recruit, will in due coarse tale
place between the 15th of February and the 15th of BarcL
These will have however to furni-h this extraordinary me
tingent in April and May. It is singular that Poland, Pk.
land, the Baltic provinces, the Caucasus, and Siberia aro
not yet called nlion to contribute to this militia, probahl;
because the war is to be specially waged as a rsligious one,
and greater reliance is placed on the standing army in the
countries mentioned above. The fact that this measure is
proclaimed on the eve of the Vienna conferences is no doubt
significant.

The European journals express diverse opinions ct
the Czar's manifesto. While the infPpendance, true
to its early faith in the Autocrat, is struck with the
moderation and pacific temper displayed in the new
document, the Augsburg Gazette regards it as the
justification of all its incredulity as to the peamfal
disposition of the Czar. The latter journal says:
" There was no necessity for this appeal to national
and religious enthusiasm—a measure which could
not be outdone were Russia in the situation of 1812.
Except in the Crimea, there is at this moment no
enemy on Russian soil. The proclamation, however,
is intelligible as a stroke of policy intended to purge
men's minds of the vain delusion that a change his
come over the spirit of Russia, and that her envoy is
about to enter the approaching conferences prepared
to accede to any demands that may be made. Austria
mks therefore right in urging at Frankfort that the
state of things was menacing."
