RUSSIA.

Letters of the 30th ult. from St. Petershurgh state that the
Baron de Barante has, in the name of the French Government,
demanded an explanation as to the raising of five men out of
every thousand, lately ordered by the Emperor Nicholas; am',
which, though estimated to produce one hundred thousand
soldiers, will in reality produce two hundred thousand. The
Count (le Nesselrode has, it is said, replied to the verbal note
of the Baron de Barante that this measure had no other object
than to fill up the vacancies left in the garrisons of the in-
terior by the sending of troops to occupy Poland, an occupa-
tion which was necessary not only for ntctintaining ordcl in
that kingdom, but for preserving the tranquillity, of Germany.

The letters we have received from St. Petersburg forbid the
belief t hat the general levy of recruits, ordered by the Emperor
Nlchole.s, is merely intended to fill up vacancies in the ranks of
hi; arm. v. His object is to form and re-organize corps of the
army, r..nd to provide seamen for the navy, and not to complete
battalio as or squadrons. During some months a large por-
tion of -,;be disposable forces of Russia has been concentrated
in the s yuthern dvpartments, and the corps of the army quar-
tered in .that part of the empire have been secretly augmented.
The ce.rps of Bessarabia, which occasionally detaches troops
for the permanent or temporary occupation of the two princi-
palities,..and has already sent soldiers into Servia, has been
doubled since last year, and may now be estimated at upwards
of 60,000 men. There are besides in Chcrson, Sebastopol,
Nichola ie f, &c., about 20,000 men, ready to be embarked on
any mili tarry expedition, independently of corps of naval can-
noneers.: In the government of Eketerinoslav there are 40,000
more d ?stifled to reinforce the army of the Caucasus, which
has bee a .considerably reduced by the war with the Tcherkeses
and other insurgents of that country. The corps of Georgia
and Persia stand likewise in need of reinforcements, having
also occ as ional battles to fight, and suffering almost continually
from epidemic diseases. Whatever care the Cabinet of St.
Petersbnr gh may take to conceal these losses, wants, and ope-
rations, and to divert the attention of Europe from such varied
occupat ions, and the projects connected therewith, these facts
are nev.ei-theless well averred. A levy of 200,000 men will
scarcely. suffice for the purposes here referred to. Time, it is
true, will be required to effect it, and a much longer period to
make sal diers of these recruits ; add to which the financial
penury of the Russian exchequer, and it will be evident the
oper:;,tion cannot be carried on with the activity desired by the
Emper Dr Nicholas. But it is nevertheless true that his ukase
should suggest reflection to the optimists, who have been
speaking so long and with so much assurance of a general
disarm anent.

Extr act of a letter from
Lemberg, in Galicia, dated the
26th ultimo :_According to recent accounts from Russia, the
Emper or Nicholas will not attend the coronation at Prague,
but will be represented by the. Archduke Michael. It is
probablx, however, that intervieW will afterwards take
place between the two Emperors,

of meeting. A misunderstanding

as to the different tribes of Sclavonia, and presented to
into researches
the Emperor, and the principal Russian it fr am
of 20,000 f. This was attributed by the Austriannnobles, a sum
the political object of uniting all these tribes under

-warm, and were only put an end to by the interference very
Prussian Consul. It was agreed that the donation ofil the
n- cif be published, and that the Society should be undesroul
.rona.e of the three Sovereigns who have the Scla thee
pa.• b vomaris
-under their dominion. The people of Galicia sent a depu_
taqion to Prague, to congratulate the Emperor Ferdinand,
4m,1 resent to him a petition that he would pardon Zaliewski
and Nis four accomplices, who are condemned to five years'
impri,;ooment. They were informed by the Governor that
the derruotion could not be received, but that the petition
would be pcesented and supported. The troops remain in the
environs .of Lemberg, and will, it is said, be reviewed by the
Emperor and the Archduke Charles, after which the depu-
tation will be received. Many petitions will be presented on
this occasion, and among them one forthe naturalization of
such emigrant Poles as remain in the Austrian empire."
