RUSSIA.

The Northern-Post of St. Petersburg, of September Sth, says that the levying ol ■ recruits has been postponed in the CJovern ment of Minsk during the continuance of the insurrection, and in the Govern merits of Vit bsk and Mohlieff to the 15lh of January next. The Giand Duke Constan'ine has arrived at St Petersburgh from Warsaw, and has attended a Council of Ministers held at Tzar.<koe, under the PnsMency of the Empeio", at which (he question of replying to the notes of the' thtee powers was discussed. The Journal de St. Pvtsrsburgh. yesterday denies lhe rumours published by the foreign press concerning new arrangements by Russia relative to Polish and German affairs. Spoaking of the alleged Radical reforms and new alliances about to be entered into by Russia, according to ; French accounts, it says the conclusions' drawn from this pretended news are as false as their premises. In Poland, the Emperor, who-e sentiments on the Polish question have not changed, considers his first duty to be the re-establishment of solid and material order founded on the ground subverted by anarchical passions. From a diplomatic point of view the Government ramains determined to fulfil* its international obli nations, and at the same time lo maintain the rights of Russia within the limits of treaties. As regards German affairs, Russia sympathises with the iz'iio'n of tie .strength of Germany basfd on the interests of all ihe States of which that country is composed; Russia has, no more reason lo provide against tf.e dangers which m/srht resu't to her fio.n^G-ermany, than Ger" many has to put herself on her guard against coming dangers from Russia. The Polish iiiburrection is very active. Negotiations are goirg on between tho Cabinet of St. Cloud and those of Berlin and St. Petersburg, in which it is reported that the Cabinet of Berlin is acting as a mediator to bring about a good understanding between the other two on the Polish question. France, it would seem, from an article in ha France, is but too glad to jump at any proposal which Prussia may make to extricate herse f from .the Polish dilemma, and it is now believed on all sides that a pacific solution of the question is inevitable. C 'valr)' engagements of Tacsesnowski's corps favorable to. the infcurjrents took place on the ]Bih of "August, at Itatno, and on the l'9th at Poddenibicn. The insurgents have been victorious in cavaljy engagements, at Dolra on the 21st, and at Gluchow on the 23rd, in the WoyvySdessys of Kalisse.

Engagements terminating favorably for the insurgents at: Rierse Bolow, in Augustovro di'stricf, and at Preny and Kielany, in Lithunaia, on the 13th and lGih. The main body of the insurgents are said to have gained on the 30th a considerable victory over the Russians at lanow\ -Seven insurgent corps are stated to have been engaged in this affair.
