RUSSIA.
The report that Prince Gortschakoff had issued
another circular relative to the pending questions
is in some measure confirmed by the following
letter, dated Berlin, Nov. 21, addressed to the
Frankfurter Zeitung :
" Prince Gortschakoff has sent a new circular to
the diplomatic agents of Russia abroad. This
document alludes chiefly to the actual state of
affairs, and criticises severely the attitude assumed
by Austria and England as regards the execution
of the treaty of peace. Although the question as
to whom the Island of Serpents shall belong in
future is at least doubtful, Russia is nevertheless
ready to cede on this point to the demands of
England and of Austria.
" As regards the possession of Bolgrad, themore
important question of the two, Russia declines
pronouncing a decision alone, and on this point
invokes the decision in common of all who signed
the Treaty of Paris. More cannot be asked of
Russia, but Austria and England have opposed
insurmountable obstacles to this decision, and con-
sequently things remain in suspense.
" Such is the sense of this circular."
A letter dated St. Petersburg, Nov. 16, says—
" The fact of a shot having been fired from the fort at
Yenikale upon an English vessel of war has caused
some sensation in our official world ; 'the heads of
our commercial houses, who have branch establish-
ments in the towns of the Sea of Azoff, after the
experience of the sad events which occurred there
in 1855, show some anxiety respecting the many
commercial interests engaged there since the peace.
.No one here doubts that the Russian Commander
was perfectly justified in preventing the English
vessel from entering the Sea of Azoff to prevent
the capture of ships engaged in smuggling."
A letter from St. Petersburg of Nov. 15, pub-
lished by the Halms Correspondence, which never
wittingly circulates any news disagreeable to the
French Government, says
" In a report addressed to the military chancery by

and this immense materiel may be turned to account,
when time shall nerve, - the corps d'armee, which as
it is thought, is destinedto succour the Shah of Per,ia,
our ally, in the probable case of his territory being
invaded by an English expedilii.uarY army. Rue-
sia, whatever may happen, wig not be taken
by

cottntries. it is known
that General Churlew one of the most intrepid defenders
41 F3eimteri, has been appointed by the Einperor COM-
P:under of the corps d'arrn6e Echeloned between Baka
a.,d E:ivan, in the Immediate neighbourhood of the
Persian frontier. Many people at St. Petersburg think
that this fiery general, with all his forces, may very
likely get to Herat before the English, who are expected
to disembark at Bushir, shall be in line of battle. The
opinion gains ground in military circles that if the Eng-
lish Government should really carry its plan into execu-
tion, events will compel us to interfere with all the power
which, thanks to the activity of our generals, we can
dispose of in Asia.
"However, it will be scarcely possible for ns to pre•
vent the :English from effecting a landing upon the two
principal islands of the Persian Gulf, nor from installing
themselves in the town of Bushir, They will amass
them to their possessions itl, India, in the sates tesinner

and under the same pretexts as they did in the case o
A den, in the Red Sea."

Several German journals have spoken of repre-
sentations said to have been made by Russia at
Vienna and Berlin on behalf of Denmark, in the
affair of the Duchies. The _Hanover Gazette de-
clares its ability to pronounce this statement incor-
rect. Russia has not interfered directly in the
matter ; neither has France offered its mediation,
as has been similarly affirmed.
The New Prussian Gazette states that attempts
are being made at present to navigate the Dniester
by means of steamers, in order to convey corn to
Odessa, but great doubts are entertained as to the
successful result of the undertaking.
