LONDON, April 81. Papers from st. Pc
tersburg. to the 3lst of March, reached us
this morning, with Munich and other Jour
nails. They contain nothing of public in-
terest; the Russian army is looked on with
alarm by the Gar An article in the
"Journal de st. Petersburg" of the 2lst Of
March, states, that the Russian soldier is
really too idle, and in state ofpeacc gives
his ear too readily TO the iDsinuations Of
LI-disposed and innovating reformers. II
adds, that the Government itself seems now
inclined to attend to the subject, and plan
IS said to he III contemplation to employ
these mercenares in time Of peace,
when not engaged in military duties, OH
works Of public utility. This will be the
bondage OF Egyptian slavery, and only dis
gust the soldiers more deeply. A mighty
revolution is evidently gathering in Russia

already ielt-but it will burst in unmitga-

scribes lbrahim Pacha to be on the point of
making grand attack on MSsolonghi from
different quarters, and with every prospect
Of success. Greece is stated to be in great
danger, but it is mentioned that the Lord
High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands
had acted in such a manner as to create an
impression thathe had received instructions
to prevent Missolonghi from falling into the
hands Of the Turks. Russia, France, and
England, are said to concur in wishing TO
bring the contest to close. II is added,
that on the Goth, Sir Frederick Adam had
required that the operations against Mis-
solonghi should be suspended, as he under
stood an order TO conclude an armistice. if
not already received, nigh; be expected
from Constantinople. TO this lbrahm
Pacha objected, on account of the sacrif-
ces which had been made by the Porte. Sir
F. Adam, ia represented to have replied,
that If he did not yield with good grace,
to the common wish Of the Allies, submis-
sion would be compelled. '.r
Nothing is here said of the fall of the
fortress. The Greeks are reported to have
obtained some naval successes.-I Courier.
