RUSSIA.

The Independence Belge quotes the following
letter, dated Hamburg, 3d inst. :—" We have re-
ceived to-day letters from St. Petersburg of the 28th
ult., stating that Count Nesselrode, in a despatch,
dated 22d, had instructed PrinceGortschakoff to de-
clare in the name of the Emperor, to the Austrian
Cabinet, that the advance and concentration of a
Russian army, near the frontiers of Galicia, should
not be regarded as hostile acts; that the Emperor en-
tertained no aggressive views against his formerally.
Prince Gortschakoff was also directed to declare to
Count Buol, at Vienna, that Russia, h aving no in-
tention to wage war upon Austria, had recom-
mended her generals to abstain from every aggres-
sive act against that Power.

MALTA.
The Malta Times of the 31st ult. says :--
"A. submarine battery for exploding under water,
prepared by Lieutenasit Porter, Royal Engineers, will
be tried in the Great Harbour on Thursday afternoon
next, at half-past three o'clock. The shells in connection
with this apparatus are the invention of Mr. Hamshaw,
the principal engineer of this dockyard. Should it provee
successful, of which there seems little doubt, it i
sent up to the Crimea in the Miranda, hourly expected
from England, and its effects tried in the removal of
the Russian ships sunk at the mouth of the, port of Se.
bastopol."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, Nov. B.—The Bavarian Minister-Pre-
sident had his first interview with Count Buol
yesterday, and nothing positive is yet known of the
real nature of his mission, although it has tran-
spired that a great conference was to be held, at
which the Earl of Westmoreland and M. de Bour-
queney wore to be present.

SPAIN.
Our accounts from Madrid are of the Ist inst.
It was not true that General San Miguel in-
tended to resign the post of Inspector-General of
the National Militia; that the latter was t abou to
publish a manifesto ; or that M. Alonso, IVlinister
of Grace and Justice, was to resign his seat in the
Cabinet. The Epoca had announced that a Carlist
conspiracy had been discovered at Pampeluna.
There was, however, no truth in that statement.
The Government had been informed that some in-
dividual pourparlers had taken place, but that no
immediate outbreak was ccinteniplated: The Carlists
are biding their time, and will only raise the

standard in the event of the dethronement of the
Queen, her abdication, or the suspension of the
prerogatives of the Crown.
The Democratic party it was said were preparing
a more or less peaceable demonstration before the
opening of the Cortes, in order to influence, if pos-
sible, their deliberations. The Government, how-
ever, has at its disposal a sufficient force to main-
tain order, and it is determined to repress such an
attempt with energy.
It is reported that Generl Allende Salazar will
resign the Portfolio of Marine shortly after the
meeting of the Cortes, being anxious to discuss and
maintain with perfect liberty the political opinions
and ideas he professes.
After the presentation of the officers of the
National Guard, 250 in number, to the Queen, by
General San Miguel, 70 re-entered the hall, and
warmly protested their devotedness to the person
and dynasty of her Majesty.
Count do Via Manuel, Grandee of Spain, who
had just returned to Madrid from Bayonne, had
been murdered by his coachman. The unfortunate
young man leaves a widow, daughter of the Duke
de Gor, and three children. He was the son of
Count de Via Manuel, who was shot by order of
Zumalacarregui, during the civil war.
It being the festival of All Saints the Bourse
was closed.
