(FROM OUR SPECIAL
ST. PET

♦von: 16.

The date at which I am at present writing, which
is the 3rd of August, Russian time, brings the pre-
liminary proceedings of all the special embeasies
pretty well to a close, at lout in as far as the modern
capital of Ruda is concerned. Early next week
special ambassadors and 'Moths:specialities connected
in any way with the grand affair will take their
departure from the city of Peter the Great and locate
themselves for a few busy weeks in the more ancient
capital in which so much of the early history was
enacted. If Rurik, or Ivan the Terrible, or Boris
Glodunoff could rise out of their graves, they would
probably be somewhat surprised to see the
arrival of the special trains which are to convey the
foreign notabilities to the acne of the splendid
pageant in which they are to play so conspicuens a
part. Then &hunk worthies, who looked for no
invasions save those of the Tartars whom their suo-
osseors now hold in such complete subjection, would
Baas with no small astonishment at the dragon of
steam as it came up puffing, snorting, and roaring to
the station, and dragging along in its wake some-
where about 600 persons of high and low degree,
attracted from distant quarters of the world to
" snit " at the solemn inauguration of the present
Emperor in the government of his vest domi-
nions. They will storm the holy city as eagerly
as OM did the Tartars, but they will be valiantly
met by the innkeepers, who, if they cannot
eject them summarily, are determined to make
them pay dear for their prolonged sojourn. But not
in Moscow alone is the working of this fine instinct
of nationality perceptible in the conduct of the Roe-
sin Buda*. Petersburg is little behindhand—a
fact of which, if report speaks truly, the special
ambassadors have bad the most conclusive indica-
tions. Already Lord Granville's parliamentary grant
shows painful symptoms of attenuation; but his
lordship must take comfort in the conviction that,
whenever s Rusin special ambassador comes to
Landon, the patriotism of British innkeepers will
give him a noble revenge. In short, there is nothing
more remarkable in the history of the world than the
uniformity of action that marks the conduct of hotel-
keepers and salmon on those portions of its surface
one which the progress of civilisation has given
them • locus stands'. Everywhere they look upon
the traveller es an invading scamp and "charge"
him with a vigour that is generally sure to
make him beat an early retreat. The Count
de Morey has, I believe, saved himself the pangs
of petty extortion by buying everything on a
grand soak, even to the steamboat that takes him up
and down the river, and by renting the great Woron-
miff Palace, which may be seen every day surrounded
by splendid equipages, and every night bluing with
lights, to the great admiration of the Russian polka,
who wane demurely up and down the waterside of
the Neva. His Excellency was early in presenting
his credentials, and Prince Paul Esterhan, " Dia-
nna" Esterhasy, as he is called, wished to follow
closely on his heels, but unfortunately he had left
those important documents behind him at Vienne,
and he was inexorably refused a presentation until
they had arrived. Oar own special embassy had its
turn yesterday under circumstances calculated to give
the British people and their representative satire
satisfaction. They went down to Peterhof(,
in the Priest's Alice, and were received at
the &barmier* by some of the high officers
of the court. Imperial carriages were in attendee°,
to convey them in the first instance to the English
palace, where they found an elegant defamer pre-
pared for them, and every convenience for making
their court toilettes. They were then conveyed to
the Imperial Palace where, in the first instance, Lord
Granville was presented to the Emperor at a private
audience of some duration, after which his Lordship
presented in sucoession all the members of his
embassy. The Emperor was, I understand, all co,
diality and ceedseceesion, frequently addressing the
persons present in the English and French languages.
His Imperial Majesty's deportment is spoken of in
terms of high admiration by every one who had the
honour of a presentation. Subsequently Lady Gran-
ville was presented to the Empress, and in her
turn presented the ladies of her snits, the
Marchiocese of Stafford, Lady Emily Peel, and
Lady Margaret Leveson Gower. Oar-a-Inn were
in waiting, into which the whole party got at the
termination of the ceremonial, and a drive round the
beautiful grounds of Peterhoff fllied up the time until
dinner, which, like the breakfast, was prepared at the
English Palace. At this banquet several of the high
officers of the court were present, amongst whom the
son of Count Nueelrode was active in discharging the
duties of hospitality to the distinguished guests. At
11 o'clock the whole party were safely conveyed to
town in the Princess Alice, being the first time that
the voyage has been performed at that late hour by a
vessel of her tonnage. So ended a very pleasant day
for the British Reimer', and at the gams time ter.
minted the St. Petersburg portion of their mission,
leaving them nothing to do but settle M. Dimontes
little bill, pack up their portmanteaus, and proceed
early next week by special train to Moscow. To-day
(Friday) was a grand field-day with our Gallic
allies. Being the Ws day of the Emperor Napoleon,
a solemn Ts Daum was celebrated at the Roman
catholic church of Bt. Catherine, at which all the
French in St. Petersburg were invited to attend.
The church, which is situated about midway down
the Nemkoi Proepekt, was of course crowded, and a
great number of people formed se eontreeted a semi-
circle as the Russian dragoons *odd permit in the
street outside. Count de Moray's carriages. with
their fine English horses, made a splendid show, and
elicited frequent ejaculations from tbs " Mojoks,"
which, I regret to add, were not particularly intelli-
gible to your special earrespondent. Lord Granville
accompanied his French colleague, bat not in
state, as all the carriages "De Parade* have
already been sent off to Moscow. The eons
was altogether both imposing and brilliant.
The French congregation was unusually sedate and
attentive; the French uniforms and decoration had
all the freshens of the empire, and the spot in which
the church is situated is the finest in St. Petersburg.
