RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 17th, in the
Debats, says :—" It is stated that in addition to
the militia of the empire recently formed, another
body called the rearban, or armament of the people
is to be organised. If this latter militia is really
to serve any purpose, it must be composed of pro-
fessions hitherto exempt from military service,
such as tradespeople, artists, &c., and they are not,
very numerous, otherwise it will only be a recruit-
ment under another form. General Tcheffkin,
the new minister of Public Works, has left for
Moscow with Prince Dolgorouki, the Minister
of War. They will proceed from Moscow
to the southern provinces to give directions
for new works which have just been decided
on in those parts. Generals Gortschakoff has
sent a despatch, dated the evening of the 14th, in
which he states that the enemy has embarked a
body of troops near Eupatoria, and that a great
part of them have proceeded westward. The de-
fensive works which have been lately raised round
Nicolaieff have been constructed with extraordi-
nary care, two of the Grand Dukes taking part in the
superintendence, the mason-work and earthwork
being under the particular direction of the Grand
Duke Nicholas, as inspector general of engineers,
and the arming under that of the Grand Duke
Michael, as commander-in-chief of the artillery.
General Totleben has had the immediate super-
vision of the works. The Emperor has expressed
his satisfaction at these works to all the persons
employed on them."
A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 16th, in the
Hamburg News, contains the following very im-
probable piece of intelligence :—" It seems that
preparations are being made to equip for next sum-
mer the Baltic fleet, as it is found to have remained
too long in inaction, and it is intended that at
least a portion of it shall take to sea. Besides the
reinforcements and improvements which are to be
introduced into the navy, it is intended to place at
its head younger and more vigorous men. Already
has the former commander of Cronstadt, Lieut.-
General Burmeister, received his dismissal. The
military governor of Cronstadt has also been re-
voked, as well as the commander of the fleet, old
Admiral Lutke, who is admitted to a pension in
the Council of State. He will be replaced by Ad-
miral Nowosilsky, who distinguished himself at
Sebastopol."

" COPENHAGEN, Nov. 18.—The approaching ar-

tinguished, it cannot be doubted, by the greatest
cordiality. The King of Denmark is at this mo-
ment at the chateau of Jagerspriies, where ho is to
pass the week in hunting. His Majesty, it is said,
will quit this residence on the 24th, the day on
