A letter from St. Petersburg of the 17th, in the
Debats, says—" The Russian Cabinet has confiden-
tially applied to that of Vienna to assign a reason
for its having opposed the Priest Nicanoc, of Mon-
tenegro, coming to St. Petersburg to be conse-
crated bishop. It is thought that a simple expla-
nation will be sufficient to bring about an arrange•
ment of the affair. According to accounts received
from Sebastopol the reconstruction of the town, the
public buildings, churches, &c., was going on with
rapidity. The Russian Navigation and Commer-
cial Company, established at Odessa, have an-
nounced that their steamers from the coast of the
Caucasus'avill henceforth run as far as Trebisond,
and those from Constantinople as far as Smyrna.

common resin declined a shade, yet they were not
active. Tobacco attracted mere attention, and
