RUSSIAN COMMERCE.

ST. PETERSBURG, APRIL 7.
The Minister of Finance has published the fol.
lowing notice in a supplement extraordinary to the
Gazette de Vorion,eree of yesterday :
"In consequence of the receipt of the news that-England
and France have declared war against Russia, the Minister
of Finance thinks it is his duty to acquaint the public with
tho measures which have been taken upon the -occasion by
the Imperial Government in reference to English and
French subjects, and their commercial vessels and property.
Taking into consideration the declarations of the English
and French Governments, the Imperial Government, in its'
sincere desire to avoid as much as possible the disastrous
consequences of war, has adopted the following regula-
tions :-,-
't A delayof six weeks is granted to English and 'French
vessels now in our ports, to enable them., to complete their
cargoes and sail without hindrance fora foreign destLa •
time. In the ports of the Bl ck Sea, the Sea of Azoff, and
the Baltic Sea, this delay will bo reckoned from the 25th
of April inst., and in the ports of the White Sea from the
date at which the navigation shall have been opened in
those ports.

"As an exception, and from military considerations,
two English vessels, the Anna M'Allister and the William
• Broderic—the former at Orenstadt and the latter at Revel
—will be temporarily detained.' These vessels, however,
will not be confiscated, and they Will be released as soon
as circumstances shall peitiit: "--"'--
`' French and English merchant.. vessels which, after
• leaving our ports, may be met by our cruisers at sea, even
after the expitation of the delay named, will obtain per-
mission to continue their voyage as soon as the examination
of their papers shall have proved that their cargoes were
embarked before thee-expiration 'of tue delay in question.
