RUSSIA.

We (Indepeitdance Beige) received to-day (the
lst; instant) a letter from Odessa of the 22d
ult. The inhabitants of that city were afraid that
if the Allies wore obliged to abandon the Crimea,
they would disembark with all their land and sea
forces on the opposite shore. The Anglo-French
army might certainly, without auy very serious
difficulty, find at Odessa a shelter against the rigours
of the season, and excellent winter quarters. The
Russian military commissariat still devised means
to forward from different points of the coast, iu
light vessels, some provisions for the army in the
Crimea. It was known, however, that the
troops in the field suffered from a -want of sup-
plies. The most pressing orders had reached
Odessa from St. Petersburg, enjoining the authori-
ties to organise a double pernaanetat communi-
cation with the Crimea so as to insure a regular
supply of provisions for the army. The Neva was
entirely frozen over at St. Petersburg on the 25th
ult. All the works in the forts situate at its
mouth, on the sea-side, and those &instructing on
the islands in front of that capital, lead been sus-
pended ou account of the winter. The Emperor,'
by a recent rescript addressed to the superior offi-
cers of the engineering department, Iliad expressed
to them his satisfaction with the zeal and intelli-
gence they had displayed in the execution of those
works.
A letter from Kalisch of the 30th ult., in the
Lloyd of Vienna, states that the Rusnian Govern-
ment is daily throwing' fresh troops into Poland to
replace those who had been ordered to the Crimea.

A Vienna letter states that the Russian Baron
de Streglitz, who had beeu for pom© time at

Vienna, endeavouring, to induce capitalists to sub-
scribe to the Russian loan, has taken his departure
after having failed in all his efforts.
A Vienna letter of the Ist, in Voss's Gazette of
Berlin, says:—" The French Ambassador Baron de
Bourqueney had, on the 27th ult., an audience of
the Emperor, in which lie congratulated his Ma-
jesty on the understanding with Prussia, which,
he said, was perfectly satisfactory to France."

A letter from Frankfort of the 30th ult., in
the Moniteur, says :—" The additional article
to the Austro-Pripsian treaty has been pre-
sented to-day to the Diet. The committee on East-
ern affairs has been charged to examiLe it. It
is not doubted that the Federal adhesion will be
given to the provisions, so eminently German,
which this supplement to the treaty of the 20th
April defines and consecrates." The same journal
quotes the following from the Weser Gazette :
" From the protecting language with which Russia
shows herself disposed to accept the four guaran-
tees, it would be really believed that she acts with
compassion for Germany, and with the sole inten-
tion of putting an eud to the discussions of the
Diet of Frankfort."

It is stated in a hitter from Jassy of the 21st
ult. that the Hetman (Minister of the War) Th.
Baitch has been replaced by M. G. Ladesco, who
is more favourable to the cause of the Ottoman
Porte.

As a proof, says the Saabian, Mercury, that
Saxony is making preparations for war it may be
mentioned that the contingent has been called out
fur the 30th Deo. For many years past it has not
been called for before April.
It has been stated by telegraph that the Aus-
trian Government had put an end to the state of
siege in Transylvania. We learn from Vienna
that from the 15th inst. the decree is to be put in
force. It orders that all cases not military now
under the jurisdiction of military tribunals shall be
tried by the regular civil tribunals.
The Augsburg Gazette states from Vienna that
the Austrian troops arriving from the south are to
be encamped near Tulu, on the Danube, not gar
from Vienna. These troops will be augmented by
other corps, and will form an army of 50,000 men
with 200 pieces of cannon.

It was stated by the Agram Gazette that the
Prince of Montenegro had been summoned to
Vienna. This it see s was erroneous. The Prince
has been at Trieste on a visit to a Greek merchant,
whose daughter he is to marry. He left on the
30th ult. to return home.

A letter from Stockholm, of the 24bh ult., says:
—" The majority of the Orders voted an increase
on the importation of foreign spirits ; but iu con-
formity with the wishes of the Government, the
committee of subsidies has rejected it by a largo
majority."
