RUSSIA.
The Paris papers give out as positive that the Emperor of Russia has resolved to grant a constitution to Poland, assuring to that country its " autonomy," and placing it on a footing analogous to tfyat jin which Hungary stands in regard to the Austrian empire.
A correspondent of the Nord, writing from St. Petersburg, refers to an important question now being agitated in Russia, It relates tp the recall of soldiers now on unlimited leave to their several standards, in order to have ready, at the period of the promulgation of the abolition o{ serfdom, a force for preserving order and preventing complications. The objection urged against this measure is the enormous expense it will eutail. " Whatever course is taken," says the Nord, " the Russian government does not intend to delay the publication of the great act so impatiently expected, and the imperial manifesto, which will announce this social revolution, will appear definitively on the 3rd of March, two weeks later, that is, than the period originally fixed." The text of a treaty just concluded at Pekin between China and Russia, and granting large concessions in the east to the latter Power, has just been published at St. Petersburg.
