ST. PETERSBURG, May !.
A feeling Of gloom prevails. Vigorous
police regulations respecting the watching
Of houses, and visits and searches by night
are to be made still more stringent. After
. O'Clock in the evening nobody will be At
liberty to show himself in the street with

bearer comes and to where he is going.
has planned this ordinance. Soon it will
not be necessary to light a candle before Q
o'clock. Yet at 8 O'Clock every one must
be indoors, and after 10 o'clock, as in the
barracks, every light must be out. Not
withstanding, the insecurity OF st. Peters
burg increases, and every day grenades are
exploded in the streets. The intention of

Of constant excitement, to tire them out,
or lull them to sleep with the idea that the
danger has been exaggerated. They also
reckon on the harsh measures and arrests
producing discomfort among many people.

attack on the government, would join the

tore down the manifestoes. they nevertheless
appeared anew. In this one night upward
OF $50 persons we're arrested, and among
all these the police failed to find . scrap
Of paper which appeared to have anything
to do with the proclamation. The secret
bill-sticker, on the other hand, went
on with his work, and the police we're un-
able to discover him. The alarm at last
became SO great that two companies, I'M
der Colonel Deberg, were posted at the en-
frances to q number Of houses and streets,
but when the guard had its attention to the
right. bills were posted on the left, and
after they had been torn down OF the left,
~reappeared. Since the attempt on the life
Of the Gar, troops have been held in read
mess day and night. In every regiment
two companies, in marching order, aud
equipped with ball cartridges, are kept
constantly under arms. Batteries stand
ready and mounted in the barrack-yards,
squadrons Of cavalry stand in constant
readiness to mount, and day and night 4
