RUSSIA.

A letter from Odessa of the 3d, in the Austrian,
Gazette, says :—" The departure of the head-quar-
ters of the 2d. corps 'd'armee is fixed for the 22d
August. A customhouse-office for goods coming
from the Crimea, and intended for the interior of
Russia, has been established at the bridge of
Sschangar. An order of the dayof the general com-
manding the 3d mires of infantry, which remains
provisionally in the Crimea, has ordered the troops
and visitors of all kinds to refrain from any kind
of profanation of the burying-places of the allies.
The following passage in the order of the day
is in excellent feeling :—' If they have been
our enemies, they have not the less been brave
men who, as well as thousands of our country-
men in these late campaigns, have died as
heroes on the field of honour: They were men
who preferred honour and their country to all the
possessions of the earth, and this is why it is a
sacred duty for every one to honour the memory of
those brave soldiers us we honour that of our own
comrades.' A few days ago nearly 5,000 Turkish
prisoners coming from Kars arrived here ; and at
nine o'clock General Codrington arrived hero unex-
pectedly. No preparation had been made for his I
reception, and all that could be done was to fire a I
salute of 24 guns from the quarantine battery,
which is the only ono now standing. General Cod-
rington has been invited to dine with Gen. Luders
to-day, and to-morrow the English club will give
him a grand banquet. It is said that the general
intends to remain here for some days, and then to
proceed to Balaklava.

THE NEAPOLITAN STATES.
NAPLES, July 10.
The answer from the Government of the Two
Sieilies, or from his Majesty—for they are one and
the same—will have been in England now nearly
a week. It is said here that it states that the
right of interference is disputed, and that the
charges brought against the Government are ex-
aggerated ; a disposition is expressed to give en-
larged privileges to the " amatissimi sudditi."
The military enteute still continues the subject
of conversation, and awakens much uneasiness.
Supposingit to have been perfectly unpremeditated,
yet so vigorous an impulse is a novelty in the Nea-
politan army, and shows, as some think, the rise
of a freeer and an inconvenient spirit. Should
this spirit spread, this dynasty would be lost ; for
the army is its only dependence. A court-martial
is now investigating the matter, with a view to as-
certain if there has been anycomruunica.tion between
the soldiers and the citizens; but the proceedings
are kept so secret that it is difficult to arrive at
the truth. Meanwhile the entire regiment, colonel
and all, are under arrest.

On the Bth inst. five French gun-boats came
into port from Messina, having made the passage
in 32 hours. A party of the officers were seen
yesterday looking with some surprise at the cannon
cn the roof of the Marine Barracks pointing in
wards on the people. Doubtless it was a novel
sight fir men fresh from Sebastopol. They are to
leave Naples today, en route for France.
Several screw-steamers from Liverpool are in
port.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, JULY 13.
The Wiener Zeitung, of this morning, contains
a list of persons to whom his Majesty has been
pleased to grant either full pardon or commutation
lof punishment for political offences committed
come six or eight years ago. The official Gazette
also contains a letter, addressed to the Minister
I of Finances, which runs as follows
:
"Dear Baron Von Bruck,—As a consequence of the sad
events which were the result of the rebellion in my king-
dom of Hungary and in my Grand Duchy of Transylvania,
in the years 1848 and 1849, the Military Courts confiscated
the property of a certain number of persons who, being
concerned in that rebellion, were found guilty of the
crime of high treason. Being always inclined, justice
having had its course, to show mercy if a consideration
for the welfare of the public will permit my doing so, I
have found good to renounce all claim to the property con-
' fiscated by the military courts, of those persons whose
names are contained -iu list A. To the two individuals
mentioned in list B, I grant, in addition to the property
to which the claim of the State was formerly withdrawn,
the lawful indemnification for soccage and villenage, and a
sum equal to the interest on the same from the day on
which the claim of the State was withdrawn.
" The fundamental principles to be observed in this
matter are laid down in my subjoined ordinance, and you
will act on them in accordance with my Ministers of the
Interior and of Justice. "FRANCIS JOSEPH.
" Laxenburg, July 12, 1856."
The essence of the Imperial ordinance is—That,
in the way of mercy, the property confiscated by
the military courts, and which is at present pos-
sessed by the State, shall be returned to the persons
mentioned in list A. The property is to be given
back in the state in which it now is, with the re-
venues and rents that have not yet been collected.
The estates of those persons who drew money from
the coffers of the State during the revolution are
to remain under sequestration until the pending
law suits are terminated.

The W ienerZeiunVOf to-day contains a treaty
of trade and navigation that has been concluded
between Austria and the Netherlands.
