RUSSIA.

Despatches from Prince Oortchakoff of the Ist
inst. are transmitted from the north, but they merely
confirm the absence of any signal event since the
18th nit.

A letter from St. Petersburg says:—"The Czar
continues to display great activity; he visits for-
tresses, passes reviews, and works at night in his
cabinet. All trace of dissension between him and his
brother the Grand Duke Constantine has disappeared,
and there was never any question of his abdication.
The Czar, though mild and affable, clings energeti-
cally to the resolutions which he has adopted ; and
he said recently to a commercial deputation, ' It I am
feeble, I will pray to God to make me strong.' He
has several times repeated what he said to the
diplomatic body on his accession to the throne :
The policy of my father is sacred for me.' He
has determined not to abandon that policy on any
account."

A letter from Warsaw, in the Post Anyt Gazette,
Says :
The reduction of the Austrian troops is °illicit has had
Its influence here. By crder of Prince Paskiewitch, 1619 of
the oxen which had been purchased for the supply of the
Polish fortress.•, are to be sold. The fortress of Z
which is situated not far from the Austrian frontiers, will
alone sell 683, which formed part of its supplies. The troops
which have lately left the kingdom of Poland have not been
replaced by others.

HAMBURG, JULY 5.
About a week ago the Baron von formerly
lieutenant in the Bth battalion of infantry in the now
disbanded Schleswig-Holstein army, was arrested at
Wandsbeck, a little market town about three miles
from this city, but belonging to Denmark, by the
Danish authorities, on his return from an excursion
to Heligoland, on a charge of enlisting recruits for
the Foreign Legion, and his papers were examined
and taken possession of by the police. On the even-
ing of the Ist inst. Baron von K— received a
despatch from London, "on her Majesty's service,"
from Col. Kinloch, inspector•general and head of the
staff of the Foreign Legion, informing him officially
that on the recommendation of Lord Panmure her
Majesty had been graciously pleased to appoint him
to a lieutenancy in the 2nd battalion of Light In-
fantry, and that he was to repair immediately to
Heligoland, and report himself to the officer in com-
mand there, where also he would find his com-
mission.

On this despatch being communicated to Col.
Hodges, that officer wrote to the head of the civil
government at Wandsbeck, Councillor of Justice
Reiche, requiring the immediate 'iteration of Baron
von K— as a British officer, and dem•inding satis-
faction for his arrest, at the same time forwarding
the original letter from Col. Kinloch. The banish
authorities have not yet delivered him up, and
have written to Copenhagen for instructions how to
act.

THE AUSTRIAN EMPEROR AND THE POLES.—
What has most struck the public in the tour of the Emperor
of Austria is his evident desire to be agreeable to the Poles.
At the review of the 19th of Jane the Gallic:fan regiment of
Jablonowski had peer.edenee of the Croatians of thy Ban
JeHabit's, although this latter was present. The Polish
deputations have been all received with much affability by
the Emperor, end men who in 1848 had played a certain
political part, such as Adam Notoeki, Ldon Niewnski, and
George Lubomirski, were evils invited to the imperial
table. When the Emperor arrived at Leopold he replied
with great kindness to the Polish speech of the burgess
Sidorowies. He afterwards visited the library of Oilliiiniki,
the Mortgage Loan Establishment, sad the Agricultural
Society—all institutions essentially Polish. Indeed, in
every town which the Emperor has as yet visited he has
made evident eff,rts to conciliate the affection of the Palish
populations.—Letter from Tarnowits in the Steele.
MoNTENEGRO.—A letter from Montenegro of the
19th ult. says:—" The French consul at Scutari went re-
cently, with the Pasha of that place, to Cettinje, to endeavour
to conciliate the differences which esist between the Turk.
and the Montenegrins, so as to prevent the breaking out of
hostilities; but all that he succeeded in obtaining was a
tree, for a month. Prince Danilo demands the immediate
giving up of the island of Scutari, Vicunas, and Limonites ;
a promise Waive to Montenegro, on the conclusion of general
peace, all the territory of Ivanbergowina ; the recognition
of the political and territorial Independence of Montenegro ;
unlimited liberty of commerce and communication ; mutual
extradition of political and other criminals."
The Peninsular Company's beautiful new steamer
the Alhambra left Southampton on Saturday with the
Spanish and Portuguese snails. She has been furnished with
item winches for loading and unloading cargo and hoisting
sails, by the mistimes of which a boy can do as mush work
as half-a-doses men. She has also the new apparatus for
steering which renders all verbal communication between
the commander end steersman unnecessary. This is the
first of the Oriental Company's ships in which such an ap-
paratus has been latrodueed.
Amongst the passengers by the Ennio., which
arrived at Southampton es Friday with the India mail,
was the SOD of the celebrated Whampos, the rich tea suer.
