RUSSIA.

WARSAW, OCT. 28.

Mgr. Ryeunski, who has been acting as substitute
for the Archbishop of Warsaw, was arrested last
night on account of his systematic opposition to the
Government. He has been taken to Astrachan,
which place he is not to leave in future.
The Moscow Gazette publishes a biographical
sketch of Lord Palmerston, in which it declares that
the late Prime Minister of England was the syste-
matic and implacable enemy of Russia :—" It was
he," it says, " who opposed the conclusion of the
Treaty of Paris after the Crimean war, because he
thought its provisions were not sufficiently decisive
against Russia. The violent measures he adopted
against Greece in 1850 were inspired by his desire to
put an end to Russian influence in that country.
There are also many reasons tc justify the conclu-
sion that he instigated the Poles to rebel against
Russia in 1862 and 1863."

Advices from Russia state that the winter is very
precocious there this year. Snow has not only fallen
at Moscow, as already stated, bit at Kief and Riga.
At Pernau (Livonia) sledges have been used for
some time past.

THE WEST INDIES.
THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH BUOYS.
LIVERPOOL, Friday.

The West India and Pacific Steamship Com-
pany's steamer Mexican, Commando,. Peters, has
arrived in tho Morbey, with dates from Colon, to
Sept. 29, Kingston Oct. 4, and Port-au-Prince
Oct. 8.

The political state of affairs in New Grenada was
very unsettled. The city of Rio Hache still re-
mained in possession of the rebels, and several
large establishments had been sacked.
At Santa Martha no attack had taken place, but
the Government troops were prepared for an ex-
pected attack from the rebels.
In Panama affairs were quiet, the insurgents
having been defeated, and their leaders captured
and banished.

At Colon there was a healthy state of affairs, and
the fever, which had been very prevalent, had en-
tirely disappeared.
The political state of affairs in Hayti had under-
gone no change. The Government troops remain
inactive before Cape Hayti, which place the rebels
still hold. President Jeffreard remained at
Gomines awaiting the arrival of the recently-pur-
chased iron-c'ad ram from the United States. it is
feared that things will remain rather difficult for
some time, and that the reduction of Hayti would
entail a greater expense of money, labour, and
life.

The want of labour was likely to affect the
cotton crops at Hayti somewhat seriously, the
army demand for the peasantry having also the
same result.

On the afternoon of the 19th of October, in lat.
42 N. long. 40 W., the Mexican passed a buoy
painted in bright colours, with a flag and long cable
attached. The flag at the Ad of the staff had been
blown away, but the buoy appeared stationary, not-
withstanding the action of a heavy sea. There can
be little doubt that this is one of the buoys laid
down after the severance of the Atlantic cable to
mark the spot where the cable disappeared, and the
information is so far satisfactory.
