RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 18th ult.,
in the Press of Vienna, says :—" Count Nesselrode
had yesterday a long confidential conversation with
the Czar at Gatchina, and shortly after a courier
was despatched to the Russian ambassador at
Berlin, with instructions as to his conduct in the
attempts made to bring about a better understand-
ing between Prussia and Austria. The Russian
Cabinet in this note by no means seems inclined
to make co: cessions, declaring that it desires to
follow in every circumstance the policy which
it has hitherto followed in the Eastern affair ;
if even Sebastopol were to fall, and the Crimea
to be lost, Russia will not yield the slightest
portion of the rights which are insured to her by
treaties in the East. Russia, the note declares, is
the most powerful State in the East, and will re-
main so in spite of every check ; she has not yet
brought forward her principal forces, and the
Western Powers have no cainie for triumph.
The Russian Ambassador at Berlin is to read this,
despatch to M. de Manteuffel, but without leaving
him a copy. It is said that the Czar has himself
strengthened some passages of the despatch drawn
up by M. de Nesselrode, which did not appear to
him energetic enough.
The troops of the station of the White Sea arrived
here this day ; they are to remain here a week,
and will then take their departure for thelsouth.
A letter from Kalisch, dated the 26th ult., in
the Lloyd of Vienna, states that the report of the
march of the Russian Imperial Guard having been
countermanded is unfounded. Part only of the
Guard goes to the Kingdom of Poland ; the other
part will be distribute,4 in Lithuania.

ARRIVAL OF ARCR'BISHOP INNOCENCE
AT ODI.';SSA.

The Lloyd of the 28th hos received letters from
Odessa, which state that tilt', Archbishop " Inno-
cence" has returned from Sebastopol, to which
he had gone for the purpose a animating the
soldiers to the combat.

Since Odessa was built there never has been so
many troops collected in it as now. No regiment,
however, ever made so great a sensation as one
that has just marched through, that of the Ural
Cossacks, with their long beards and wild-looking
faces. Their presence did not seem to add. much
to the security of the city, and there were not a
few stories rife of certain appropriations unlaw-
fully made by these sons of the desert in the
immediate neighbourhood.

THE WEATHER IN THE BLACK SEA.
The Soldier's Friend of Vienna, of the 27th ult.,
says :—" The bad weather which is so much
dreaded by merchant vessels in the Black &us, has
unfortunately commenced, and renders more diffi-
cult the communications between Constantin ogle,
Varna, and the Crimea. The allies appear, how-
ever, to have foreseen these difficulties ; they have
provisions for six weeks for 100,000 men, and, are
constantly receiving 'reinforcements. Up to this
time 20,000 infantry, 7,000 cavalry, and 2, 000
engineers have left. Two detachments from. the
Piraeus and other forces, amounting to 12,000 men,
are expected in the Bosphorus, and will form the
reserve of the Black Sea expedition.

The following extract is from the St. Peterslburg
Court Journal, given in a letter from that place
by the correspondent of the Berlin National
" We must fight England, because she alone, .and
not France, is the focus and support of all rev
tiolu-
tionary principles. It is not Russia, but Engle Lnd,
who, imbued to the core with mercantili
treads under foot humanity and the rights of n len.
It is Russia's mission to protect Europe from -the
torrents of the West. As formerly the stream
flowed from East to West—now the reverse is the
case. No matter how the causes for the war; may
be regarded, that between Russia and Turke, y is
founded on religious grounds. Through the polic yof
the Western Powers the war has, however, assun 3 ed
the character of a struggle between Conservatism 24; nd
Communist revolution. Only one path is open to it he
Emperor—that of right and honour. He will d-
here to his word not to make conquests, but at ti ie
same time it is his mission to restore Russian e-
ponderance ' on the Bosphorus, because that is a b-
solutely requisite for the development (!) of Run a,
and the re-establishment of order."

This is letting the cat out of the bag with a y ®. n-
aeance.

It is Russia's holy duty to establish and con. o-

lidate the dominion Of Christianity on the Bosph.4 9-
rus. Finally, the Emperor, as the strong rock an d
defender of Europe, has to fulfil the lofty missio: 11
of consolidating European conservatism."
