RUSSIA.

We have already spoken of the reforms wh'cli.
the Emperor Alexander decided on introducing
into the Russian army. The St. Peteroburg jour-
nals affirm that the project has been carried out,
and there has been a reduction of 3,000 officers and
200,000 men. In order to appreciate the rea
bearing of this measure, it must be remembered
that Russia has two kinds of army—her real effec-
tive &re-, and the nominal one, which is to be found
on paper only. It is in this latter that has taken
place the reduction of which the Russian journals
speak. The result of the modificgtion will be the
suppression of a certain number of sinecures and a
corresponding economy in the war budget. -
