RUSSIA.
A letter from Warsaw, which, appears in the " Posen Journal," contains the following : — Despite the pacific neAvs, Russia has not for one instant ceased her military preparations. She already possesses a considerable number of needle guns. However, the Russian soldiers have a good deal of difficulty in accustoming themselves to this weapon and the cA r olutions required by the new system of armament. At Warsaw are to be met a crowd of Prussian officers, sent there as instructors in the new tactics. The Russian generals say Avithout the least mystery that their Government has contracted an alliance Avith Prussia. The Avorks for the entrenched camp in the neighborhood of Warsaw are being pushed forward. For the last fortnight some thousands of navvies have been occupied there, as the Avhole is to be finished by the time the Emperor Alexander is expected ; that is to say, the end of June, after his return from Paris.
