Russia received a new division relative to Public
Inst: uction, and corresponding a ith the general Go-
vernments. The sir Universities form the seat of ad-
minittration to each of the departments of public in-
struction, to which are added, a certain number of ad-
jacent or neighbouring Governments :
1. The Department of St. Petenburgh is to be formed of the eli,bs
GovernnwnnefSt.Pctenburgh: Arkangel.Olonet z.Volgoda,Vitepsh,
Mogbilof, Smolensk, and Kalonga. 2. That of Mlbscow is to have
eleven Governments, viz. those of Moscow, Novgorod, Tver, Jaros.
lay*. Kostroma, Vladimir, Resau, Toula, Orel, Veronej, Tambof.
3. The Department of Dorpat will provisionally have only three,
Courland, Livonia, and Bulimia. 4. The University of Kharkof
is to preside over sixteen Governments sail Provinces, namely,
Slobode, Tschernigof, Poltava, Kief, Kuwait, Astrakhan, Caucase,
Gnosis.. In:little, MingrCie,Kberson, likaterinoslavl, Taurie,
Bessarabia. the country of the Cossacks of the Don and Black Sea.
The Depirtment of Kazan is to comprehend twelve Governments :
Kazan, Nijnenogcrod, Simbirsk, Saratof, Palm Oremburg,
Wails, Perm. Tobolsk, Irkoutsk. lauseisk. 6. eastly, that of

kynie, Podolie, Bialistock. The Gcoernment of Pleskof, or
Peke, which properly makes part of the Department of Dorpat,
is given. provisionally, to that of St. Petershurgh.
two workp of public utility, at this moment. divide
the attention of the inhabitants of Courland. The first
is, a plan for establishing a Bank, the need of which is
keenly felt. They had hoped to found a National
Bank in Cnutland, like that in Livonia, but the
Emperor refused his cnn-ent, and authorised only
the establishment of a Bank, to depend on that of the
whole country, established at St. Peiersburgh. The
difficnlty now is to obtain, at a moderate interest, the
sums necessary for the execution of this enterprise. .The
Nobility are negotiating for this objeckat St.Petersburgb.
'The other project is one of more general interest;
the rendering the Windau navigable, and joining it by.
a canal to the Niemen: fions 1,500 to 2,000 soldiers
have worked incessantly at the commencement of this
shoat Atildritisking. 'Many plans are in agitation for
extending canals.thionghout Russia. Nature, by inter-
speiOng through that country a great number of na-
vigable rivets, has pondered this an easy task, sad we
:nay hope, in the courseof a few years to tee an Epen
crimmonication between the Black 'Sea. and the Baltic.
These are also some thOughts of repairing the Harbour
of Windau,. so as to resider it, in time, fit to serve as a
naval statibn for the Russian fleet. • '
