RUSSIA.

Sr. PIIITILMIGH. APRIL t7.—After a few plea-
fant fpring days, we have had Gate yefi-rday real
winter weather. Reaunsua's thermometer Rands at
6 degrees of cold ; the ground is frozen as hard as a
rock, and people croft the Neva in all derations with
the greateft fafety.
• This day we received here intelligence of the death
of the Duke d'Esousts.

A few days ago a Ruffian fent the EMPEROR a
none admirably cut, with theft few words in writing
—" To the RUSSIAN EMPEROR, a Ruffian (lone, cut
by a Ruffian Artifl." It is a Great Seal for the new
Ccmmittee of Legiflation. It has on it a fliield, fop•
ported by a double eagle; on this flield is only the
EMPEROR'S Cypher. Below the (Meld is an open book,
on which is written in the Ruffian language, "Law."
The artill has never had the fmallefl inflruelion in
none engraving, having -formed himfelf by love for
the art, with incsealible pains. The Burnous, as a
fign of his fatisfaition, and to his farther encourage-
ment,has prefented him with a very valuable diamond
ring.
