ginning of last year. The firm was ordered by the
imperial that. of the 10th of PUltruary, 1854, and
the proportion fixed on was 9 recruits in 1,000 soda,
whilit it bed effect In the whole of the Russian
empire in Europe. la the course of the same year
fresh levies were ordered by the alums of the 7th of
September and the 19th of December, to the extent
of 10 mew in 1,000 souls both in the eastern and
western provinces.

The first act of this description in the present year
was the famous manifesto of the Cesar of the 10th of
February, ordering the embodiment and formation of

.Isooo mini and three months later appeared the
impssial Ghee of the Bth of May, ordering a fresh
Mei of 12 men is every 1,000 inhabitants for the

forces of the enemy, and the question very naturally
presents itself to every refloating raind-0 If the less

war, and oar population experiences a similar drain
dating the continuance of hostilities, how long will
it be before the population of Russia is reduced to
nothing but women and children P" It is a common

PARIS, Futter Evistuto.
Notwithstanding a 101 l is the public naiad withse-
spelt to matters politicel, amounting almost to iodiffer-
ince, people have been asking oast author within the
last few days—what can be the meaning of the simul-
taneous presents in Paris of three German diploma.
tists, M. de Beast, M. der Pfordten, and Coast Col-
lared°. A sump-official Austrian paper denied the
other day that they had any salaam, and averred
that they had all gone merely to me
the Universal' Exhibition, bat of coarse no
one believes this story. Bose people say they have
come to Judge for themselves whether there is any
probability of another revolution in Frame; bat this
doss not setae much more likely. The latest German
papers revise the rumours whit* were current a week
or two or ego, that atria. efforts are making to bring
about a pesos. Tbs.:nutrias Gasette(better known by
its _former name of the Austrian Lloyd's) pretend'
that gust Collared°, the Austrian ambassador' in
Leedom, has brought to Paris the important
sews that Ruda is disposed to purchase
pesos by " largo ooeoessions." The Prus-
sian
Cabinet, it is said, has submitted thus pro.
postdate to Vienna, inquiring if Austria was disposed
to support thole. The Western Power. having. how-
ever, repeatedly declared their intention of excluding
1),ro from the future pesos conferences, Count
Coldo hes, it is alarmed, been charged with the ,
task of sounding this delicate point at Paris. It is
added that Austria *Jahn to see Prussia take part in
the negodatisae. It is also said that .the Russian
peopositicee are the result of secret aegotiationi which
have been gobig ow for sass weeks, and that M. de
Bourqmlney kilo pus by Berlin, on his return from
, Vienna, to aseertitin frost ' the Premise Minister for

tbsighpertig,iiiying that the Exhibition may be re-
opened 1801, has received several thousand signa-
tures. It is alleged on behalf of the petitioners that
many Sinufacturers were induced to thick up to the
last moment tlpst the Exhibition would be post-
poned to ether year, on account of the war,
that virariktug at a very short notice announced to
open on the Ist May, and not opened in consequence
of a necessary adjournment on May 15tli, the. Ex._
hibitiori was not really ready till abost July 16th,
and that three months is too short a time to give the
Parisians an opportunity to examine it. It is sug-
gested, that if peace were to be made dosing the win-
ter, an unparalleled concourse of people from all
parts of the globs would Book to Paris toed. the Ex-
hibition next spring, and that at all events the leisure
of the winter would enable the Imperial commission
to make a new and better classification of the pro-
ducts of different countries, and. to render the seat

tattle in many ways more instructive and interesting
than it has hitherto been. The existence of a project
for an universal exhibition at the Crystal Palace at
Sydenham is pet forward as an additional reason for
compliance with the prayer of the petition.
General Troobn, on Wednesday evening, arrived at
Lyons, where he intends remaining some days with
his wife's family. The other wounded generals had
not then let Marseilles.
