THE RUSSIANS AT Vi

(nor ova own COIIIIBPONDIerf3
Vlllama, on the Mediterranean, Nev. 27.

The Russian deer, which has received orders to

concentrate in Genoa, and to escort the Grand Duke
Constantine to this port, is daily receiving fresh
strength. On Sunday lut the screw frigate Pelican
left here for Genoa, and was followed on Wednesday
by the screw line-of-battle ship Retrizan, which
landed a portion of her stores in the buildings now
owned by the Imperial government. Yesterday
evening a Russian screw war corvette, the Baku,
from the Adriatic station, anchored here, while two
fi igates from the Baltic are expected here either
this night or to-morrow morning. All these vessels
and others are bound for Genoa.

It must be stated thaitieinhabits.nts of the coast
are delighted at the appearance of the Russian flag,
and anticipate endless advantages from its presence.
The first fruits of the MeiOn will be the construction
of a direct road from Nice to Vil!straws, which has
been determined on by the municipal council of the
former town. This project has revived the anta-
gonism which rides between the partisans of annexa-
tion with France and the enemies of the latter
country. A French company has offered to
contract for the road, and, being supported by
the French party, is vigorously opposed by
the others. The local journal, which supports
the views of the latter, maintains that " it is towards
the Grand Duke Constantine, and not toward' the
French company, that attention must be directed."
Not a mention is made is the discussion of Sar-
dinia, which proves that the patriotism of this pro-
vinoe is at a low ebb, or that extravagant expects-
time are founded on the development of Russian
infitence on this coast.

In a recent letter I contradicted a report spread by
certain Paris journals of a projected cession of the Prin-
cipality of Monaco to Russia. The Bden • journal
of the Principality, gives an official denial to the
rumour stating that although " the most brilliant pro-
positions, having for their object the acquisition of
the Principality, have been of late times submitted '
to the sovereign; the elevated sentiments of the
reigning prince, Charles 111., added to the long
resistance offered both by hm and his august
predecessor to the desertion of two of his towns in
favour of a neighbouring state, do not authorise a
belief that the question of the cession can have
been seriously treated. The principality of Moused
preserves with pride a resolute attachment to the
nobility of its origin."

The article concludes with the hope "that the
great powers, who have vindicated the independence
of Montenegro, will ere long regulate a question which
involves respect for treaties and for nationalities."
The King of Wnrtemberg, travelling incognito as
the Count de Jack, arrived yesterday afternoon
in Nice. He is accompanied by hie prime minister,
M. de Meader; by several aides-de-camp, and
by his medical attendant. The incognito of the
King was respected on his arrival. His Majesty
has taken up his residence at the Villa Avigdor,
owned by the banker of that name, who is also
consul of Wurtemberg.
A very severe storm has been raging along the
coast all this morning and afternoon, and its effects
have been already felt. The wooden bridge over
the Var has been ruptured, and the communications
between France and Sardinia interrupted. Two
arches were carried away by the torrent. Hardly
three years pass without an identical accident oc-
curring at this spot. The bridge is some 900 yards
in length, and is constructed of planks covered with
earth. Owing to the bad state of the banks of the
IV's, it has hitherto been found impossible to throw
a stutpension bridge over the river, for it would
incur the risk of becoming cut off from the high
road.

No loss of life has to be deplored in the present
case; the French and Sardinian sentinels on the
bridge were fortunately not posted on the arches
earned away; while two postchabies which were
proceeding over the bridge, one from and the other
towards Nice, were pulled up in time. The post
has of course been detained, and a great deal of
anxiety caused amongst persons passaging frierida
on their way to Nice or other points of this coast.
It is no joke to be compelled to return to Marseilles
atter having experienced the martyrdom of a dili-
gence journey from that port to Draguinan and the
frontiers. We have no news from the Genoa road,
but it is to be feared that the torrents which abound
there must have caused considerable damage. The
amount of rain that fell here from daybreak to sun-
set was awful; a strong north wind was blowing all
the time. Several weasels are reported to have pat
in here this afternoon, but a haze covers the port and
bay and conceals everything from sight.

A stag hunt took place on Saturday in the forest
of Compl4ne, at which their majesties and the roasts at the
