 Russian Squadron at New York.
 Sept. 26, 1863.-The appearance of. a Russian squadron in the harbOT of New Y York begins to excite considera- ble curiosity. The two frigates which arrived there this week are formidable looking crafts, one carrying 51 guns and the other 46. The Russian trade does not require any protection now more than it does usually and there is no apparent reason for their visit. It can be only to act as a squadron of observation on the doings of the French in the Gulf of Mexico II this be the case they have come on a good mission for the French require to be looked after just at this time. The visit of the Russian squadron seems to indicate a friendly feeling towards this country and if France should enter into a war with us an ally of the rebels, Russia might act as a counterweight m the scale. The two frigates being steam vessels form a strong force and they are to be joined by five more vessels of a smaller class
