RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Ocr. 31.

The Emperor of Russia has returned from Duna-
bourg to Tsarkae-Selo by the Warsaw railway. He
went over in sixteen hours the 650 kilometres (944
miles) already finished of that line in the magnificent
carriage offered to his Majesty by the Russian Rail-
ways Company, who had it constructed in Paris.
The Emperor expressed his entire satisfaction to the
direetars of the company.
"Certain journals," says the Nord, "have spoken
of the cordial reception given at Warsaw to the
Archduke Albert, the bearer of the overtures
of the court of Vienna. The fact is that
the interview of • the Emperor Alexander
with the Archduke was most ceremonious,
formal, and cold. The Archduke returned to
Vienna immediately after, and the result of his
mission caused the Emperor to relinquish his inten-
tion of going to meet his august neighbour on his
expected passage through the Austrian territory. It
may be observed, however, that the Emperor
Alexander avoided the Austrian frontiers by taking
a eras way which connects the Warsaw road with
the Silesian railway."
