The number Of newspapers and periodical Is
now published in Russia. is 15i Of which Cd
are published at st. Pctersburgh, / 8 at Moscow
5 at Odessa, % in the province of the Baltic
and 80 in the rest of the empire. OF these | "a
publications, l0S are in the Russian language,
90 in the German, in the French 5 in the
Polish, in the Latin, and in Italian.
Russia contains about sixty millions of in
habiants, and consequently there are, upon an
average, about three newspapers and period
Gals for each miIlon-a very scany allowance,
we should say, of intellectual provender In
he British empire proper, with population of
about twentv-six millions there are published
about five hundred newspapers and periodicals,
which gives one for every filty-tive thousand of
tha inhabitants. In the United States there are
probably not less than sixteen hundred publica-
tons of that kind for population which may
be assumed to be about twenty millions, eXclu-
sive of all colorcd persons who, whether bond
or frec are not much addicted TO reading of
any kind. This gives a newspaper or periodi-
cal for every twelve thousand five hundred in
habitants; and we suppose that, on an average,
there is ce'tlinly one for that number of inhab.
iants and in some sections of the county, a
good many more English Paper.

| nicltng to the Senate, in his message of the
18th of last March, the instructions with which
| Mr. Mann had been furnished on the occasion
of his mission to Vienni. The publicity which
has been given to that document has placed
the Imperial Government under the necessity
of entering formal protest, through his official
representative, against the proceedings of the
American Government. lest that Government
should construe our silence into appreciation, or
toleration even, Of the principles which appelr
to have guided its action and the means It has
adopted.
In view Of all these circumstances, the nm.
dersigned las been instructed to declare that
the Imperial Government totally disapproves,
and will always continue to disapprove of those
proceedings, so offensive to the laws of propri-
ETY.; and that it protests against all Interference
in the internal affairs Of its Government
Having thus fulfilled his duty, the unders' gned
considers 1t a fortunate circumstance that he
has it in his power TO assure the Secretary of
State that The Imperial Government is dispos-
ed to cultivate relations Of friendship and good
understanding with the United States, rela-
tons which may have been momeniary weak
ened, Tut which could not again be seriously
disturbed without placing the cardinal inter-
ests OF the two countries in jeopardy.
The instructions for addressing this commu-
nIca'ion to Mr.. Clayton reached Washington
at the time Of Gen. Tay ylor's death. In COM
pIlance with the acquisitions of propriety, the
undersigned deemed it his duty to defer the task
until the new administration had been com
pIeteIy organized; delay which he now re-
Jolces at, as it has given him the opportunity
OF ascertalning from the new President him
self, on the occasion of the reception of the di
p'omatic corps that the fundamental policy Of
the United States, so frequently proclaimed,
would guide the relations OF the American Gov
ernment with the other Powers. Even if the
Government of the United Sta'e' were TO think
it proper to take an indirect part in the polit-
cal movements of Europe, A nerican policy
would be exposed to acts of retaliation, aud TO
certain Inconvenience, which could not fail
to effect the commerce and the industry Of the
two hemispheres. All countries are obliged,
al some period or other, to struggle against
internal difficulties; all forms of government
are exposed to such dsagreeable episodes tie
United States has had some experience in this
very recently. Civil war is a possible occur
renee every where, and the encouragement
which is given to the spirit of insurrecton and
OF disorder, most frequently falls back upon
those who seek to aid it in its developments, in
spite Of justice and wise policy.
The undersigned avais himself Of this oc
cason to renew to the Secretary Of State the
assurance Of his distinguished consideration.
HULSEMANN.
To the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER,
Secretary Of State Of the United States.

The National Legislature was in Session only two
days last week, and then it did just nothing at all.
We have no doubt, however that the members en-
joyed themselves very much during the balance of
the week. Next week will commence the real tug
of war. By the way, the news from California
tanned in Mr.. FREANERs letter to the Picayune,
which will be found in another column, is certainly
strange if true" We fear that it is too good to be
true, although it would not surprise if California
should yet adopt a slaveholding Constitution. The
probability of such event struck upon peru
sal of the clause of her Constitution, which makes
amendment so easy, and this opinion we expressed at
some length in issue of the 18th of October last
nearly three months ago. If, Mr.. FREANERs let

doubt call upon all citizens to contribute their

hope that all will feel it DUE we'll to the charac
ter of their State and District, to their feel
ngs of patriotism to contribute literally, according
to their means.
Mr. ROBERTS will also endcavor to visit every
white man throughout the District, and we are con-

Sampson, Columbus, Bladen, Robson and Cumber-

from each will make respectable aggregate. We
need not urge any further considerations appeal
