HAMBURGH MAIL.

I PETERSBURGH, APRIL 3.—We learn, from pretty
good authority, that the Emperor has, within these few
days, gi-,en his consent to the making of an iron rail-
way between St. Petersburgh and Moscow, which has
been projected for some years. It is to be executed by
a Joint-stock Company, which has many offers from
foreign countries, of persons willing to take part in it.
In this case it may very probably be commenced this
summer. The late Chevalier Gerstner had made the
preliminary survey of the line.
The Emperor has enjoined the Ministerial depart..
ment, and all the higher branches of the Administra-
tion, to limit, as much as possible, the number of per-
sons employed in the offices.

Orders have been given to tax the passports of all
Russians travelling to foreign countries, as directed by
the Ukase of Ist September last year.
STOCKHOLU, APRIL 6.—lt is said that very im-
portant intelligence respecting the Sound Toll hes been
received from London, and that this important question
may be settled to the satisfaction of all the parties in-
terested.

Three Estates of the Diet (without that of the
Nobles) had petitioned the King that the Diet might be
closed on the 15th of ALY. A letter from the King was
presented to-day by the Minister of the Interior, in
which his Majesty says that though it is manifest that
the long duration of the Diet is a.great expense -to the
csuatzy, he will not clos3 it till all tho important mattcra
now under discussion, especiely.the R7form of the na-
tional represeatatl'on, are decided. Tnu.j the session may
continue till the end of October.
