DISCoNTENT IN RUSSIA.
Vieaad, Oct. 4-It is known here that the discon.
tent in Poland and the Ukraine has risen to a very
serious height.
The successive calls for enstmerits have almost
deprived those parts of Russia of the young and
ablebodied men, as was severely felt during the
recent harvest.
A government survey has been ordered, to know
whether Poland can furnish sufficient corn for the
supply of the army during the next campaign.
1t is thought that the result of this inquiry will
greatly influence the decision of the Russian Gov
ernmcnt to the continuance of the war
The accounts received of the retreat of the Rus
sian army from Scbastopo are credited by military
men here, as the opinion is that the garrison of
the northern part would soon have to surrender at
discretion from want of supplies.
