ST. PETERSBURG.
The Journal de St. Petersbourg contains a semi-
., official article, in which it is said that the sub-
; Stance and tenour of the secret correspondence pub-
fished in London by the British Government was
long before communicated to the Sovereigns of
Prussia and Austria by order of the Emperor.
• The,Augsburg Gazette, which is well known for
its Russian tendencies, endeavours to account for

• the absence of General de Rocho w,the Prussian am.
bassador, from the Te Detm lately sung at St.
Petersburg in honour of the passage of the Danube,
by saying that the state of his health would not
• permit it, but it adds that he is now better.

THE DANUBE.
Prince Paskiewitch arrived at Bucharest on the
16th inst.

• A. letter from Bucharest, in the Wanderer of
• Vienna, states that Mr. Biagini and M. Duprat,
the former an English and the latter a French
- au bject, had been flogged for having spoken in a
disrespectful manner of the Emperor Nicholas.
• They were, at the date of the letter (14th), at the
Military hospital. They have not been able to lay
a complaint before their respective consuls, as those
functionaries are absent, and the agents left by
• them in their places have received official notice
. that if they continued their functions they would
be transported into the interior of Russia.

THE GERMAN POWERS.
. A. letter from Berlin says :—" On the occasion
