Russa.--Arrival OF the British Minister.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Aug 7, 1856
LORD Granvllle's equpages, which
arrived nearly fortnight since in the Cressy with
part OF his followers were despatched forthwith to
Moscow, the carriages matted and carefully covered
up. The British ambassador has won beforehand
the good will of the Russian commercial world by
very simple measure. His carriages and horses,
though English, to appear in Russian style, har-
ness and equipment Ali these accessories, there.
fore, were ordered in Russia. Both the compliment
and the profit are acceptable. The ambassador who
was telegraphed as approaching on the day of the
naval review, wrongly reported in ST. Petersburg
to be Lord Granville. 1t was NJ. de Morny, who
came through Germany, and took boat at Lubbock
The tribute of respect which the French envoy
paid to the the sake of visiting
whom as he passed he himself announced that he
had selected the route by which he came-is deeply
felt, and much praised here by the Russians. One
lady of great rank-a Russian Russian remarked that
she thought Tar more of that mode of arriving in
Russia than if he had come by sea in the finest
llne-o battle ships. M. de Morney is already
great favorite. One obvious means of winning the
Russian heart has certainly not been neglected by
him NJ. de Morney's mode of living touches the
very chord which most readily vibrates in Russia
into good will and admiration.
One little act will show the scale on VT ch this es
Establishment is conducted. Every morning regularly
hundred bottles Of Medoc are delivered at his door,
for the use OF his domestic servants ill next NOR
ming Among the vulgar in Russia the number of
great personages domestic servents u.s. in the higher
and more princely sphere of life, all through the
year, that guage of his social pretensions which the
fur IN the collar of his shooba constt utes in more
humble station during the winter months Lord
Granville is therefore quite right to attach impor-
lance to his being attended by hundred Ualets
pied at the coronation.
| The Russians cannot conceive what ambassa doris
come here for, if not to spend plenty of money-aad
then to have considerably less than the full benefit
| OF II. Everybody, from the isvostchik who drives
you 10 the landlord who lets you his house, cheats
everybody else in good -hun1ored spirit. If the
impostor is detected by you, lie respects your
ness as having beaten him but ii is all sort of game
better luck next time. If this imposition passes
good, he still respects you being able to stand it,
None despised but those who have nothing to be
cheated out of. The French ambassador is reverel
-Vererated at this moment in st. Petersburg; and if
a story which have Just heard be true, believe
it to be, Lord Granville (who by the way, has Just
this instant arrived at Cronstadt) will be held in
equal generation at Moscow. The statement is this:
He has, of course, taken house at Moscow; but he
has taken it on for month"; the requisite period.
Prince Dolgorouki, the Minister at War, has also
taken house at Moscow, for month. There is
not very much difference in the accommodations of
the respective houses Except that Lord Granve's
has suitable ballroom } and what do you sup
pose each pays? Lord Granville pays 10000 silver
roubles; Prince Dolgorouki $500: the one ct, 900
and the other g1,2OO. The expenses at Moscow
will indeed be what the France call fabuous-that
is, too real and too enormous.

By reference to the official vote of this State,
