Governor Cuomo's counselor and chief spokesman, Timothy J. Russert, resigned yesterday to become a vice president and assistant to the president of NBC News. Mr. Cuomo announced that he was naming Martin J. Steadman, a former reporter and Albany lobbyist, to succed him. At a news conference in Albany, Mr. Cuomo noted a difference between Mr. Russert's background and Mr. Steadman's. When Mr. Russert went to Albany in January 1983, the Governor said, he had strong contacts with the national press corps and politicians in Washington, having worked there six years for Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Democrat of New York. ''Tim came in with a national base,'' Mr. Cuomo said. ''He has helped me reach people and places I could not have reached on my own.''

Texaco Refinery Plans 1,400 Layoffs PORT ARTHUR, Tex., Sept. 6 (AP) - Texaco U.S.A. said today that falling demand for gasoline had prompted 1,400 layoffs at its oil refinery here, but a union official said workers might offer to take wage cuts to keep some colleagues on the job. Texaco officials said that 1,400 of the 3,000 jobs at the company's Port Arthur plant would be eliminated by January and that two of the plant's four crude-oil distillation units would be shut. Texaco U.S.A. is a subsidiary of Texaco Inc., which is based in White Plains.

Martin Brian Mulroney, who emerged Tuesday as this country's next Prime Minister, has been called ''the Canadian version of Ronald Reagan.'' The characterization came from Sinclair Stevens, the foreign affairs spokesman for Mr. Mulroney's Progressive Conservative Party, whose right-wing elements helped elect Mr. Mulroney party leader in June 1983. But Mr. Mulroney won the election on a promise to maintain or strengthen Canada's extensive web of popular social services, which are considerably more extensive than those in the United States. Yet despite Mr. Mulroney's margin of victory over John N. Turner - the second shortest-serving Prime Minister - Canadians remain uncertain where their new leader wants to lead them.

The space shuttle Discovery returned from its successful six-day maiden flight today, swooping out of the clear blue desert sky, turning before the hills as the sun was rising, and gliding to a smooth landing here on a dry lakebed runway. Officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration used words like ''pleased'' and ''proud,'' ''delighted'' and ''ecstatic'' in describing the performance of the six-member crew and their spaceship. All the mission's objectives, they said, were accomplished. Indeed, the successful flight came at a key time for NASA, a time when the space agency is planning to accelerate the shuttle program. One mission a month is to be undertaken in the next 15 months. And the flight followed a series of recent disruptive malfunctions and delays in the program.

Konstantin U. Chernenko appeared on television today for the first time in more than seven weeks to hand awards to three astronauts, calming a spate of rumors that he has been ailing. The Soviet leader, who is 72, looked tanned and somewhat thinner than in his last television appearancebefore he left on vacation July 15. In today's televised Kremlin ceremony, he read a four-minute speech with no more difficulty than he has demonstrated in the past, and he seemed to give the astronauts, including Svetlana Savitskaya, the first woman to walk in space, a hearty handshake. Mr. Chernenko's appearance was scrutinized closely by foreigners and Russians because of rumors that he had returned to Moscow prematurely from vacation in early August for medical treatment.

The Reagan Administration said today that it had decided to back ratification of a 36- year-old United Nations convention against genocide. With the Senate in session for only three more weeks, officials acknowledged that the chances for early approval were slim, making the announcement largely symbolic. The officials said that, if President Reagan were re-elected in November, he would press for approval in the next Congress. The convention was adopted in 1948 in response to the killing of six million Jews by the German Nazis. It defines genocide as the commission of certain acts ''with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group'' and obliges countries that are parties to it to prevent and punish genocide.
