RUSSIAN MILITARY FORCE.

WARSAW, MARCH 21.—Several German journals
have published statements respecting the military
force of Russia, which are more or less inaccurate.
We have procured on this subject information drawn
from documents which merit entire confidence, and
we lose no time in transmitting it to you. It will
give your readers a more correct idea of the force
which the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has on foot.
The army of Georgia, or of the Caucasus, had
suffered at the very beginning of the war against the
Persians, considerable losses, caused by the insalu-
brity of the climate, but by the reinforcements
which it received in July and August last it has been
completed to 75,000 men.

The troops in the military colonies are between
60 and 70 thousand men, of whom only 30 thousand
could take the field.

The amount of the garrisons in the several for-
tresses of Europe is estimated at 75,000 men.
The first army, of which the head-quarters are at
Tulczyn, and which is 90,000 strong, consists of the
corps cantoned in Courland and Livonia, of the
Guards, and the first corps of the cavalry of reserve.
These troops will require twenty days to concentrate
themselves, as their cantonments extend for 140
leagues, from Polangen to Pleskow.
The army of the west, nearly 100,000 strong, had
its cantonments from Choczym,- on the Pruth, to
Czerkasy on the Dnieper, an extent of about 110
leagues. It is this army which has been on the
march for this month past, to take up a concentrated
position. It has furnished numerous reinforcements
to the army in Bessarabia, now 80,000 strong, which
waits only for orders from St. Petersburgh to pass
the Pruth and enter the Moldavian territory.
We have now to speak of the army of the centre,
amounting to about 250,000 men. Its cantonments
are very extensive, for it is 240 leagues from Karzin
to Jaralow, and nearly 300 from Ostrog to Nourom
on the frontier of the Government of Wladamir and
Nishnei Novogorod; this army would require •tw@
months to aszemble in Volhinia.

In 1812 the Russian army amounted to only
411,000 men including the Guards, of which two-
thirds were opposed to the French under Bnona-
partc.

The Polish army, inch tding the corps of Lithuania,
is between 60,000 and 70,000 men.
Thus the whole force of the Russian empire is
about 700,000 men, of whom about 300,000 are at
prffent ready for action.—Germaa Paper.

MAcREADYII; made his debut as Macbeth,
in Paris. His reception was extremely flattering, and his
acting, particularly in the supper scene, was much ap-
plauded. Miss SMITHSON'S Lady Macbeth, the Fve!lcli
critics say, wanted energy; and ABBOTT was a correct but
cold Macdutr. The Duchess d,OaLEANs and Duchess de
BEant, were present at the representation.

A traveller in a Mark-lane house has just re-
turned from a tour in the Midland and Western Counties,
and says that, for the 17 years he has been out, he never
saw a season marked with greats; slaughter amongst the
hares than the past. In four cases out of five they have
had no chance of escape front the greyhounds; this is at-
tributed chiefly to the excellent feed they have had, render-
ing them more than usually Leverets are already
