RUSSIA.
A letter from St. Petersburg, in the ' Nord' of Brussels, says: — " The operation of raising the vessels sunk in the port of Sebastopol has commenced. There are upwards of 80 of them, and 16 have already been recovered, namely, the Chersonese steamer, ( 260 horse-power), four transports, one brig, two schooners, two tender's, and six smaller craft. Tiie four transports are already afloat, and are engaged in conveying provisions and equipments. The Chersonese is.under repair at Nieolaieff. and will be launched again in spring. Besides these vessels, the Government has six sailing trausports and some steamers of from 60 to 100 horse-power. It has but lately bought five screw-schooners ■which.are- to cruise along the eastern coast of the Black Sea." • Advices from Odessa of 22nd March, state that Count Strogonoff, Governor of Bessarabia, had received despatches informing him that the journey of the Emperor to that part of his empire was now decided. The Emperor is only waiting for the'return to St. Petersburg of the Grand Duke Constantine. to set out. The Grand Duke will visit England; his arrival in London will probably take place towards the end of May.
