RUSSIA.

The following is a full synopsis of the Russia!
despatch of the 30th of April last, addressed to M
de Glinka, the Russian Representative at the Cour
of Darmstadt and at the Diet of Frankfort :

It commences by stating that the Conference:.
had arrived at a point when it would depend upob
the Western Powers whether the negotiation
would lead to any result or' not. It was therefore
advisable. to consider the precise state of the ques-
tion, especially as regards the first two points.
The despatch then indicates the interpretation
of the two pints as resulting from the protocols of
the Conference I. to V., pointing out the conde-
scension of Russia which contributed to that solu-
tion.
To become binding that solution would require
consecration by a treaty. Should the Conferences
be broken off nothing could oblige the Powers that
took part therein to maintain the interpretation.
Russia, nevertheless, regards the understanding
agreed upon respecting the two points as a useful
and acquired result, to which the assent of both
parties had been given.
As those two points concern particularly German
interests, this declaration, in disengaging those in-
terests, ought to confirm the States of Germany
their determination to remain strangers to the
struggle, and to maintain a strict neutrality.
The Russian Envoy is requested to communicate
the despatch to the German Envoys at the German
Diet, to be communicated by them to their respec-
tive Courts.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.
MALTA, MAY 9

During the last two days several sailing trans-
ports with horses, have come in ; among them,
the Kent, Prince Alfred, and Enoch. They go on
directly. We have several boats in to-day, but
little news. Lord Wharncliffe and family have
arrived to-day from Alexandria, and go on thi,
evening by way of Naples. Colonel Heyland goes
up with a division. The Cyclops and Firebrand
leave here on Satui day for Balaklava. There are
reports that there has been a case of piracy, and a
ship sunk on the coast of Syria, but the particu-
lars I cannot yet ascertain. We have about 800
men encamped outside the town.
