Pacific Russian Measures.
The Russian Ambassador here, M. Lisakewitch, yesterday received a Courier from his Court with directions to declare to Admiral Parker, that it was the wish of the Emperor to accommodate the differences between Russia and England. A swift-sailing Cutter was immediately sent off to Admiral Parker in the Baltic, as the Russian Fleet, having sailed, might meet with the English. Other Instructions had likewise been sent off to the Russian Fleet.
One of the Ukases issued by the new Emperor of Russia is as follows:-
"Our manufactories not having yet arrived at the necessary degree of perfection, and not being adequate to supply the wants of our Empire, it is hereby ordered, that the decree prohibiting the importation of porcelain, earthen ware, glass, instruments made of steel and iron, silk, cotton and linen goods, be annulled, and that, for the present year, the regulations of 1797, shall be in force."
