RUSSIA.

RUSSIAN FRONTIER, FEB.72s.—Accounts from St. Pe-
tersburgh give reason to fear that the Russian Government
will be obliged to contract a new loan. As the natural causes
of this necessity, are assigned the expeditisns against Khiva
and Circassia, the equipment of the fleet both in the Euxine
and the Baltic, the erection of many new buildings at the ex-
pense of the Treasury; such as the palace in St. Peters-
burgh and Moscow ; the marriage of the Grand Duchess
Maria; the journeys of the Imperial Family ; the stagnation
of trade, particularly in Moscow, where there have been in a
short time above two hundred bankruptcies ; the bad harvest
in the last two years ; the great and expensive assemblages of
troops, and lastly, the large levies of recruits, by which
numerous hands have been withdrawn from agriculture. Con-
sidering, however, the immense resources of the empire, there
is no doubt that the finances will soon be in a better state ; if
only peace i; preserved, of which there is every day more pro-
bability. The Emperor is very active, and does his utmost to
remedy the general distress.
Tue plague has appeared in a Circassian village, half a liy's
journey from the Jerck, which may perhaps occasion a suspen-
sion of the Russian operations in that quarter. It is said that
the Emperor has expressed a wish that instead bf. Count Figuel-
moot, who has been recalled, a military character may be sent
as Austrian Ambassador; it is added that Major-General Count
L'Urbria is expected at Petersburgh, which makes it believed
that he is intended to represent Austria at the Russian Court. The
differences with France arising out of the Egyptian question
having caused fears of an interruption of peace, the Russian
Cabinet applied to the Swedish Government to ask what it
wcadd do in case of war. It answered that the situation of the
country, the interests of a:l its subjects; and the progress of
prosperity prescribed strict neutrality ; but that it unlawful
means were adopted—for instance, if the tranquillity of Sweden
were menaced by a war of propagandism—it would not neglect
to take measures for a vigorous defence.
