ST. PETERSBURG.

A. letter from St. Petersburg of the 15th, in a
Vienna journal, says :—" The Emperor has been
suffering for the last three days. Yesterday he in-
tended to hold a review, but his indisposition pre-
vented him. The hereditary Grand-Duke will
inspect Cronstadt, Helsingfors, and Revel, in a
day or two. Tne wife of the Imperial Prince
Alexander, Mine. Marie, Priucesse of Hosse, is
about to proceed with her eldest son, the Grand-
Duke Nicholas-Alexandrovig, to Hesse-Darmstadt,
on account of the state of his health."
A private letter from, St. Petersburg states that
Count Nesselrode hasoeen recently insulted by the
people of that capital. On passing through the
streets in his carriage he was hissed, hooted, and
menaced, and was forced to take refuge in the
house of a friend. Ile was accused by the people of
being the cause of the war, of not having taken suf-
ficient care to provide against its casualties, and of
having shown indifference and negligence. But
whatever be the cause, the symptoms of popular
indignation were not to be mistaken. The letter
which relates these facts, it is said, proceeds from a
Russian lady of high rank, who recounted them to
a friend, with the d.eepest sorrow, as indicative of
future troubles. It is probable that the inhabitants
of St. Petersburg have already begun to feel more
severely than the
peasants of the interior the evils
which war brings with it. They are nearer to those
parts which are most exposed to hostilities, and
they must be among the first to suffer. But it is
certain that much fermentation prevails in the capi-
tal of the Russian Empire.
The Invatide Busse publishes the following re-
script from the Czar
"TO THE INHABITANTS OT OIIR WELL-BELOVED AND
LOYAL TOWN OF ODESSA.
" The Anglo-French fleets, entering the Black Sea,
attacked some days ago the peaceful city of Odessa,
open to the commerce of Europe. General Baron
d'Osten-Sacken, in speaking of the brilliant courage
with which the attempts of has li enemy
se i ha.ve been re-
pulsed by the military forces, kewinformed us
that, in the midst of the danger which menaced the in-
habitants, public tranquillity was not disturbed a single
moment, and that the people executed with exemplary
zeal all the orders of the local authorities. Strict obe-
dience to duty, as prescribed by our holy religion, and
devotedness to the throne, animate all our well-beloved
and faithful subjects. At Odessa, that tintiment, so
worthy of praise, has been manifested to its full extent
under the thunder of the enemy's cannon. The firm-
ness and self-denial of the inhabitants of that town could
not fail to attract our attention, and we feel pleasure in
expressing on this occasion to all classes of the popula-
tion our special kind feeling.

The Cassel Gazette contains a letter from Vienna,
May 19, which says :—"
It is not true that Prince
Paskiewitsch, to please Austria, has ordered the
dissolution of the free corps of Wallachia. On the
'contrary, the organisation of these volunteers is
urged on more actively than before. The intelli-
gence from the theatre of war in Asia announces
that the Russians have taken up positions near the
frontiers of Tschori and Chasapm, but they have
not again entered the Turkish territory,"
The Press of Vienna says :—" Intelligence from
the Danube announces that General Liprandi
arrived on the 10th at Bucharest, and, after
having announced in an official manner the
complete ev.cuation of Lesser
at once for the head quarters of Prince Paskiewitch.
Other letters from Bucharest, of the 11th, state
that the Russians have commenced bombarding
