INTERESTING FROM RUSSIA
A letter from Warsaw of the 9Th, in the
Constttutioaal. says:-
The Councillor of State, dc Kotzebue, arr
rived here Yesterday from Sebastopoi, and
Immediately had an audience of Prince Pas
Newitsch, to whom be delivered letters from
Gen. Gortschakoif The picture which NJ
de Kotzebue draws of the state of the Crimea
is far from satisfactory. General Gortscha7
koff, it is said, complains that the reinforce
msnts both of cavalry and infantry, and sup
plies of provisions passing through Perekop,
were advancing but very slowly, butin con-
sequence of the want of water in the steppes,
where the thermometor at times stood at 81
,Rsadmur COS Fahrenheit, it was necessary to
hate the troops followed by an inmense num-
Der of vehicles carrying water These rem
forcements were decimated by disease on their
march, and the remainder. on arriving at
Sebastopol, only served to fill the hospitals.
Simpher5pol aud BakshiseraI are so full of
sick that it has been found necessary TO estab
lish ambulances under tents
The mortality, owing to the extreme heat,
is described as frightful. The town Of Sc
bastopd Is said to be in desperate State
not d house but has suffered from theshot and
shell of the allies. The Russian army at Sc
bastopol has kecn weakened by 10000 men
by the affairs OF the sth and 18th of June,
without reekcning those who have died from
cholera and other Diseases. The allies have
rendered their position between Balaklava and
Inkermann inpregnable, so that in case of an
assault, General Gortschakoff cannot assist
the garrison by making any diversion on that
side. 1t is supposed that the garrison will
blow up all the public buildings, and only
leave to the assailants heap of ruins. All
the articles of value belonging to the Crown
have been removed to Perekop. The account
of the death of Lord Raglan has been given
to-day in the official journal. Another jour
nal points out the losses of the Russian army.
Its best Gcnerals-Korniliff, Gotsomir, Tim
,ofeejef, Soimonoff, Schilder, Orbelian, and
several others have been killed and Worozoff,
Menschikof, and Dannenberg have retired.
More than five hundred officers of all ranks
have been already lost by this war. 1t is said
that Gen Gortshakoff is urgent for officers,
and that he has written on this subject to
Prince Paskiewitsch. The object of the visit
of the Grand Duke Michael to this city is the
subject of general conversation He was. it
is said, charged to sound the feelings of Prince
Paskiewitsch, as to his taking the command
of the army of the Crimea but the Prince is
said to have refused, on the plea of his health
and the promise of repose made to him by the
late Emperor. The cholera is daily carrying
off from eighteen to twenty persons here, and
it is extending Its ravages along the Yistula
as far as Cracow- AT Cracow 81 L fatal cases
occurred in four weeks. Reports are current
herc of some disturbances in the country OF
the Dnieper. Six regiments of Cossacks are
being formed for the defence of the empire IN
the government of Poltawa and Tschernigoff
a letter from st. Petersburg of the 26th
ult.. in the Udndefcr of Vienna, says:-
1t is generally rumored that the Emperor
is to start very shortly for the south but it is
not known whether he is going to visit the
Crimea or some other part of the coast of the
Black Sea- 1t is also stated that the Grand
Duke Nicholas is to visit those parts immedi-
atcly after his return from the Baltic Prince
Michael is. to so to Warsaw again, they say
to assume the government of Poland, Prince
Paskiewitch only retaining the supreme com
mand of the army Prince Gortschakof is
spoken of as likely to be recalled from the
Crimea, and entrusted with the portfolio of
War, while that Of Police is to be given to
Prince Delgorouki, and Count Orloif is TO
have the presidency.of the Council of Minis
tiers. Numerous other changes, both in the
machinery of tho administration and in the
list of offunctionaries. are contemplated The
present relations with Prussia appear to be so
intimate that an offensive and defensive ALI
ance is spoken of having been concluded
between the two Powers, all contingencies
having been therein duly foreseen This ru-
NOR, however, is not in accordance with the
note OF Baron Mantuffel of the 9th, in which
mention is made of the obligations of Prussia
towards Austria, and of the two first points of
guarantee
: a letter from Berlin of the 9TH says
The Russian Prince Wofonzof, who is at
present at Dresden, for the benefit of his health
Is shortly expected at Berlin Some German
newspapers announcing doubt at his re-
qaest.that he possesses neither chateau nor
estate IN the Crlniea. and that consequently
the English cannot have spared either, as has
been reported. =
AusrRIAs POLICY AT THE VIENNA CONFERENCE
From the London Times, July 1877
In the course of very short speech Lord

curacies so remarkable as to suggest susn;-

diplomacy. The first of these was in his re
