RUSSIA.

Count Orloff, the intimate friend of the late Em-
peror Nicholas, and now chief of the gendarmerie
and commander-in-chief of the Emperor's staff,
has just received an Imperial rescript, enumerating
his important services to the state during the long
period of 50 years, and accompanied with the por-
traits of the late Emperor and of the present one,
set in diamonds, to be worn with the ribbon of St.
Andrew. In signing his naive to the rescript, th?

Emperor has added in his own handwriting)
" Your sincerely devoted friend."
For some time past the confiscations of the pro'
perty of Polish emigrants to the profit of the RIP?
sian Treasury have become more and more fre-
quent. Letters from Warsaw state that by this
redoublement of severity it is hoped to prevent
the desertion of the conscripts. The preparations
for the new levy have been going on since the
middle of last month.
Tlie St. Petersbourg Journal publishes the CO
tinuation of Prince Gortschakoff's journal of tl!
siege to the sth inst., but which has now lost ail
its interest, from the course of subsequent events.
A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Presse, de'
scribes in the following language the dissataaction
of the Emperor Alexanderat the despatch of G-ne
ral Gortschakoff, which announced that the Ells'
sian works at Sebastopol were injured by the r
of the Allies :
