NEWS DIRECT FROM RUSsIA"-Under this
head the New York Times has a long statement,
obtained by Col Shafner; who has just returned
from Russia. 1t is probable that some of his re-
ports should be taken with few grains of allow.
ance, as it would seem difficult for stranger in a
country positively to know the state of the govern.
ment treasury. He reports the financial condition
of the Empire to be excellent provisions abundant
gold and silver plentiful and the mobiles and busi-
ness men but little affected by the war; and favor.
able to its prosecution. Russia he says will make
no concessions and protracted war is confidently
expected. Throughout the empire vast prepara-
tions are going on for itsj vigorous prosecution
With regard TO the armament he says:
N lthn a short distance of st. Petersburg there
arc three founderies for cannon One, in the capi-
ta turns out sixty brass field pieces of different
sizes per week. The Colpin works turn out eiQh-
ty cannon, and those at Petrozavoisk, (Which are
connected by river navigation with St Petersburg)
over hundred every week. This is exclusive OF
the immense founderies in Russia south of Mos
cow.
The great amount of cannon which the founder.
les in and about st. Petersburg turn out weekly
are for the defence Of the Baltic coast. Mr. Shaft
ner visited Cronstadt last summer, and witnessed
those mighty fortresses of which so much has been
said. In 1854, only one side of Constadt was for.
tihed. but now it is entirely surrounded by walls
and forts. Five additional forts built of stone and
ron were erected last summer, and the whole place
has been mounted with new guns I
The forts of Riga Sweaborg and Revel were al
so mounted with new guns during the summer and
they, too, it is alleged now perfectly imprerna
Bile. The old guns have been removed and arc
placed on every available spot along the coast be
tween Riga and St Petersburg.

THE FUGITIVE DICTAToR.-Under this heading
the Patria, OF Mexico, has paragraph respecting
Santa Anna, to the following effect -
He had arrived at Carthagena. his final destina.
ton, and had given a party to the people of note
whom he told that he had only come thither for a
change OF air According to him Mexico will re-
call him before year has passed but he remains
in Csrthagena because he has already tired of
Mexico. Reversing the position of the soliciting
party aud the denying one, we believe, SAYS the
Patria, that he has spoken the truth He complains
of the pains which his amputated limb causes him ;
the irritation of the voyage, and the cold which
began to make itself felt there. were the cause of
this. Nevertheless, Notwithstanding his sufferings
two days after his arrival, he was engaged in his
favorite passion for cock-figating
