SARDINIA.

A letter from Genoa of the sth, in the Constittc-
tionnel, says :—" Every preparatien is being
made
for the reception of the Empress Dowager of
Russia. Her Majesty will pass by this city in
order to avoid the crossing of the Col de Tende,
and will take her passage on board a steamer which
General Lamarmora places at her disposal. Prince
Eugene of Savoy Carignan will receive her Majesty
at Nice, and will remain there to perform the
duties of hospitality in the name of his Sardinian
Majesty
composed of

the Princess Clotilde, aged 14, and three younger
sons, one of whom is in very delicate health.
The journals have spoken of a Russian fleet
Naples. Long
which is to go to the Bay of
before the publication of the Gortschakoff cit.!
cular, the Emperor Alexander 11. had resolved
on sending a flotilla into the Mediterranean,
but it was merely to have it near his august mother, and to secure to her an asylum in the not very pro-
bable event of a revolutionary movement. This is
the reason of the Russian vessels coming from
Cronstadt. The smaller ones will winter at Nice,
whilst those with a greater draught of water will
proceed to Villefranche or to the port of Genoa.
It is said that this naval force will be commanded
by the Grand Duke Constantine. As to going to
Naples, to mount guard in case of a conflict and of
the appearance there of the Anglo-French squadron,
it is needless to say that if the Russian navy had
wished to assume a martial attitude it was at the
tinao of the bombardment of Bomarsund, Sebas-
topol, Odessa, and Kertch that it should have done
so. It will not do at Naples what it did not do at
home."

the Northnish brig Perla, that was abandoned by

there were only' two feet of water found in her

A letter from Odessa, of the 26th ult., saye.:---
" The cessation of the quarantine measures is a
real benefit fmr our port, as well as for those in the
Sea of Azoff, in a commercial point of view. Com-

facilitated, and the formalities, which were before

the prices are generally from 2 to 3 roubles lower.

diet of the various interests which will ba in pre-
