RUSSIA.

Letters from Odessa of the 26th ult. state that
General Luders has sent the regiments of `Vitebsk
and Polosk, numbering together 6,000 men, to the
Crimea. The inhabitants are still leaving this
place, fearing a bombardment. News has been
received there that the cholera has broken out at
Simpheropol, Perekop, and Kherson.
The following is an extract from a letter dated.
Warsaw, July 4 :—The cholera and other epide-
mics still rage with unabated virulence in this city.
The military hospitals, too, are full of soldiers, a
great many of whom are knocked up from the
effect of forced marches ; when once these men get
into the hospitals they rarely leave them alive. It
may sound incredible in England, but I mention it
as a fact, that the Russian soldiers here are in
such a miserable state that they beg alms of
passersby, even when standing sentry.
(From La P, me.)
St. Petersburg, June 30.
For some days past conversation has turned al-
most exclusively on certain arrests that have been
made not merely here and at Moscow, but also in
the Governments of Great and Little Russia. These
rigorous measures are attributed to the discovery
of a plot among the Sclavonic party. Among the
persons arrested there are four generals in active
service, two professors of the Moscow and one of
the Kiew University. Besides these individuals,
[Prince G. W****y, son of a ci-devant minister,
and who is well known for his liberal opinions and
tendencies, has been arrested, and with him, it is
also stated, several officers of the army, and even
of the Emperor's guards.
I will shortly send you more precise and circum-
stantial details. For the present I only remind you
that public opinion here attaches to the discovery
of this plot a renewal of certain severities that we
witness every day, such as the constant refusal of
passports to persons of rank accustomed to spend
the summer abroad. A part of this severity, by the
bye, consists in the extreme rigour of the censor-
ship, which obstinately and groundlessly refuses
to permit the publication of works that would as-
suredly have been allowed to appear under the
Emperor Nicholas himself.

The Frankfort Post Gazette is informed from
Warsaw that the troubles in the Ukraine, far from
being appeased, daily gain new ground, and extend
beyond the Dniester.. The peasants commit no ex-
cesses, but refuse their accustomed labour tax (the
corvee), and demand " liberty and land." A corps
of light infantry, commanded by a general, has
been rapidly moved from place to place, a service
of light waggons having been appointed for the
purpose, but it has not been able to restore order,
as the troops no sooner leave a town or a village
than new disorders take place.

The _Ham burgh Nevis publishes a letter from St.
Petersburg which speaks of serious acts of insub-
ordination said to have been committed by the
troops of some regiments of Siberia. Several offi-
cers are implicated in this movement, and some of
them have been reduced to the ranks.

A letter from Trieste of the sth states that, in
consequence of some disputes ag to the rights of
pasturage in the districts of Kalumskanaja and
Misich, the Montenegrins and the Turks have
assembled on the frontier to the number of 3,000
on each side, and were on the point of coming to a
serious rencontre.

The Second Chamber of the States-General of
Holland was prorogued on the sth to the 18th
'z,epternber. In a preceding sitting it adopted a
bill which suppressed tonnage dues, and replaced
them by an increase of the duty on sugar. The
First Chamber is still sitting.

The Prussian Momiteur states that the cause of
the Prince of Prussia's visit to St. Petersburg is
merely to be present at the anniversary of the
birthday of the Empress Dowager of Russia his
sister.

The Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived.
The Gazette announces the arrest of an active
Carlist chief called the " schoolmaster," at Colders,
in Catalonia.
