RUSSIA.

Letters from Warsaw, of the 27th ult., con-
firm the account previously' given of considerable
movements of Russian troops in Poland. The speedy
arrival in the capital of that kingdom of the heredi-
tary Grand Duke and his staff in order to take the

t command of the Imperial Guard who -!_re on t
march for Warsaw way b's t-i;, i +..e.: ~, J.,---:t-i-:
The third division of tale lilipen.,i Guard is marching
on Revel to be in garrison there. The head-quar-
ters of the guard will be established at Warsaw,
and from the arrangements making it appears evi-
dent that the Grand Duke will mak a long sojourn
in that city. Since the 25th the railway has been
daily conveying to the Austrian frontiers of Cracow
detachments of the two divisions of grenadiers who
have been quartered in Warsaw and its neighbour-
hood during the summer. Three regiments, how-
ever, will not quit the capital until the arrival of
the Imperial Guard, and four battalions will be
quartered at Lowicz. Adjutant-General Murianeff
who commanded the division of grenadiers, has
been appointed to the command of the army in
Finland, and is replaced in his former command
by General de Moller. General Kokosewski, who
commanded in Finland, is called to St. Petersburg,
and General Sirmolaw is appointed commandant of
the fortress Alexander, at Warsaw, in the room of
General Schitow, who is ordered to join the active
army on the Pruth. These letters of the 27th po-
sitively state that Marshal Paskiewitch had given
orders to the civil and military authorities of the
Government of Kielce to prepare quarters without
delay for eight regiments of infantry, two cavalry,
and three batteries artillery about to arrive in that
Government near the Austrian frontiers. The au-
thorities have been ordered to cause the delivery
by the landowners of the necessary supplies of men
and horses. There is much talk at Warsaw of the
speedy arrival of the Emperor Nicholas. Several
arrangements are being made which would seem to
indicate his arrival, but high military personages
think that at the present moment the presence of
the Emperor would be more necessary at the centre
of Government than at Warsaw. The young
Count Orloff, son of the Adjutant-General of the
Emperor, whose death from the wound he received
before Silistria has been frequently reported, has
arrived at Warsaw with his mother, from Kiew.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from St.
Petersburg of the 26th tilt, which says :—" This
day a telegraphic despatch has arrived here from
Moscow, stating that the Russians had withdrawn
on the 20th towards Sebastopol, after a sanguinary
engagement."
Mercantile men have arrived in Prussia recently
from Kazan and other remote inland parts of Rus-
sia. According to their assertions, the public is kept
in a profound state of ignorance regarding all that
is passing. No man dares open his lips to ask even,
a simple question upon political or military sub-
jects. The only intelligence that is diffused is
through the Russian Invalid, which scarcely pene-
trates beyond the circle of great towns. The people
only hear through their priests that victory upon
victory continues to be gained in Asia, for which
Te Deums are ordered to be chanted half a dozen
times over. It is believed by the masses that the
Russian armies are still on their way to Stamboul,
that the allied forces are destroyed by cholera, the
fleets skulking behind some Turkish promontory,
whilst those who ever heard of the Crimea deem it
to be the predestined grave and prison-house of all
who shall dare tread upon the soil where the holy
Wladimir first preached and converted.
