The Post Ampt Go tzette of Frankfort quotes a
letter from Vienna, of the 20th, which says :
" The Turks in Bal garia have been completing
their armaments on, a larger scale than usual.
Troops are constantly de4cending the Danube ; the
Generals now at Rolatshoult have received orders
to proceed to MAtsohin and Silistria, and 5,000
Redifs have been marched to Varna. The Turkish
flotilla at. Routsho uk, composed of 9 gun-boats and
a steamer, is being armed. The powder manufac-
tory of this place ,exploded on the 9th ; 20 persons
lost their lives, 41) warehouses were burnt down,
and many houses lira to be pulled down in order
to prevent the fire from snreading. The cholera
ha,s clisaPpeared • from Routshouk; but still con-
tinues_ its ravages at Gtalatz..7
A letter frora St. Petersburg of the 14th, in the
Constitutionn el, says :

"The Empeeror ha; just issued an order of the day.
thanking the troops for their defence of Trangsund
against the afztaek of the enemy's squadron, and for the
arning of Fc rtNicholims under the fire of the enemy. A
mostimport,a.nt rneaswe has just been adopted. In Sept.,.
1854, the Emperor Yicholas declared the Government;
of Kijeff in; a state •of war, and placed it under the juris-
diction of General G nitscbakoff. the Commander-in-Chiee
of the S.oth and o!i the troops in the Crimea. This ukase
was founded on the fact of Russia being at war. After
the orinferences of Vienna, Austria having dismisse:i
po.rt of her array, it was thought that the state of war la
the province", adjc.ining the Austrian frontiers would
have ceased ; but such has not been the case as the Em-
peror AlevAtiler has just published another ukase, which

says : ' At the present time, the conditions of affairs not
having changed, we think it right to place the Govern--
runt of Kijeff, with all its war establishments, under the
martial jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of the
active. army, Marshal Count Paskiewitch.' Another ukase
has just ordered that the sons of persons in the service
of the. State of officers .and employs on the retired list,
and of widows shall.he exempt from military ser-
vice. This measure is, however, only applicable to one
son in a family, and only to families whose fathers have
by their tikrWes acquired the rights of bourgeoisie, or of
personal nobility. Prince Wrase'neki, the author of so
many libels against the Western Powers, has just been
rewarded for his exertions by being appointed Secretary
of Public Instruction. Some material change-, have
lately taken place in the upper regions of the Govern-
ment of Poland. Senator Moraw,ki, who has resigned
his post as Director of Finance on account of ill health,
has been replaced by a Russian.. employ 6, 31. Lenski ;
Senator Funduksej is appointed Controller General of
the kingdom of Poland. M. Niepokjezycki, vice-pre-
sident of the'tlank of Poland, has been named President,
in the room of M. Tymowski, who has been removed to
other functions." ..

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 14th, in the
National Gazette of Berlin, states that, owing to
the increased number of frontier forts, the Emperor
of Russia has ordered the formation of . a special
administration for the provisioning of the detached
corps of Osenburg and of the fortresses of the
steppes.
The Frankfort Gazette des Postes contains a letter
from Warsaw, 15th, which says :—" The approach-
ing arrival of the Grand Duke Nicholas has been
indefinitely postponed, and the post of commander
of the engineers of the army of she west, which
was to have been filled by this prince, has been
conferred upon Major-General Aureggio, younger
brother of the general of the same name."
