(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, SEPT. 27.

Although several days have elapsed since the
Russian jubilee at Novogrod was held in celebra-
tion of the I,oooth anniversary of the foundation of
the empire---as the Russians will have it—yet we
are in the dark here as to how it went off. To be-
lieve sundry rumours circulated, the whole affair
bore rather a gloomy aspect, as neither the elite of
the nobility, that were expected, nor even the
large numbers of the people, on whose presence
great stress was laid, attended this long talked
of festival. The minds of the Russians had been
excited with the notions of a constitution which was
to be granted at Novogrod on the 20th inst., and
sad was their disappointment when, instead of the
anticipated boon, a reprimand was administered by
his Imperial Majesty, who told the nobles, that so
far from assisting him, they were constantly
thwarting his endeavours. It was especially at
Tiver, on his way to Novogrod, that the Emperor
spoke angrily, and almost threatened the nobility
with punishment should they persevere in their
obstinate course. The peasants fared no better, as
on the very day of this national celebration the
Emperor signed an ukase, ordering a levy of re-
cruits throughout the whole empire. This mea-
sure, which since the Crimean war remained in
abeyance, will be received with great in-
dignation, if not an active resistance. It
is the policy of the Russian Cabinet to make
Europe believe that it has considerably reduced the
army, abandoned the aggressive plans of Nicholas,
and has only at heart the internal development of
the resources of the country, and the amelioration
of the condition of the lower classes. If so, why
keep an immense army, at the cost of the people
themselves ? The present ukase gives a flat con-
tradiction to the peaceful intentions of Russia, and
Europe is once more deceived by the plausibility of
a government which knows well how to play its
cards. But if the Russian people, accustomed as
they are to slavery, find the recruiting of men a
heavy tax, what are the Poles to think of it, being
also obliged to submit to this ukase ? And it
is this precious gift that the Emperor, in
fulfilment of his " benevolent intentions," has be-
stowed Upon this country. It has thrown the popu-
lation into a state of despair, and I am afraid that
when the time comes for taking recruits it will
prove the precursor of a violent shock, if not a re-
volution.

The Grand Duke Constantine has been heard to
say he regretted having yielded to the advice of
counsellors in dealing so cavalierly with Count
Zamoyski. "On reflection," he said, " the
Count acted on his conviction as an upright man,
however opposed may be his views to those of the
Government." Count Andre Zamoyski, since his
arrival in St. Petersburg, has been an object of par-
ticular attention on the part of the highest person-
ages in the capital. Numbers have called on him
to pay their respect to him, for he is a man that one
cannot help esteeming. Perhaps it may yet happen
that the Count's visit to St. Petersburg, and his
being placed face to face with the Emperor, will
open the eyes of the latter, and induce him to re-
verse the policy now pursued towards Poland. One
thing is certain, that Count Zamoyski is not a man
to shrink from performing the duty of a patriot,
even in presence of an Autocrat of all the Russias ;
and if the Czar is prepared to know the real feel-
ings of the Poles, they will be truly and boldly re-
presented to him by this distinguished Pole.
Some time ago the official journal published an
order from the authorities, forbidding the Polish
papers from writing any article on foreign topics;
but to exclusively occupy themselves with the mea-
sures concerning the internal administration of the
country. A reproach has been made to them for
giving preference to foreign instead of domestic
affairs, and it is with the apparent view to benefit
the public at large, that this coercive measure has
been put in force. Comments on such an arbitrary
act, affecting the liberty of the press, must be left
to the free and independent journals of France and
England.
