material improvement in the imports: Foreigners
aro astonished at all those signs of prosperity, and
the persons who remember Naples at different
periods are surprised to see the animation of the
people either at the fireworks or the gratuitous con-
certs at the villa. They more particularly remark
the bustle of the atreets and the increase in hired
carriages, the number of which has been aug-
mented by 600 during the last two yeais."

(PROM 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 bow 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," leas 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.
