Letters freadAt. Petersburgh, dated the 3d instant,
state that the Emperor Nicholas has submitted• to the
Senate various documents relative to the late coespi•
reel, the situation of the Russian army, and his posi-
tion with respect to the Ottoman Porte. with a request
to the Senate to advise his imperial Majesty in what
manner he ought to act. The Senate is said to have
protested in the strongest manner against any inter-
ference on the part of V e Emperor in the contest be-
tween the Greeks and Turks, which would, in their
opinion, not only be in direct opposition to the principle
laid down by the other PQweTs, to which Europe had
been indebted for the preservatiou of its tranquillity
far so long a period, but that for the Emperor to,
take such a step would be setting the most danger-
ous example to a portion of his subjects, which might
ultimately lead to a dismemberment of his own domi-
nions. Toe Greeks must be held at subject to the
Turks, with whom it might be allowed to enter into a
negociation for the purpose of effecting an aceTnisoda-
tion, but that no extremity could juslify an aimed in-
terference in the support of rebellions subjects.- With
respect to the formation of the Russian army, the Sena.e
are said to have given their opinion that it was extremely
defective, and even replete with danger in its present
form to the integrity of the Russian empire. It would
be necessary, in their opinion, to remodel the whole, and
to reduce its numbers by one-half, dismissing without
delay all those officers and soldiers who possessed pro-
p,•rty, or had other occupations whence they could
derive subsistence, and who, in short, united the duties
of a military life with those of ;the citizen or the agri-
culturist. They recommend that the nobleman so cir-,
cumstanced should retire to his estate, and the peasant
to his labour. The Emperor had shown his disposition
to acquiesce in the advice given him by the Senate, by
giving orders for disbanding one of his regiments of
cavalry.-7 inies.
