This melancholy event took place at Taganmk, on the Ist inst. • His Imperial MAJESTY had been attacked with a violent cold, during his travels in Crimean Tar tar y,which settllcl, in an inflammatory sore throat,of such virulence as to apprive his Imperial ISlA.nestv of speech for some days. Fortunately, however, he recovered so far as to express his wishes; and, conscious of his ap proaching end, he declared the Grand Duke CONSTAN• TI. his successor, thus confirming, by his last wish, the tight of that Prince to the throne of Russia. The proceedings cf yesterday at the East India House, on the motion of Mr. Hum; for the recal of Lnrd AIIIIERsT, will doubtless fit the attention of the public. That Nobleman, holding one of the highest official functions which the Crown of England can delegate to a subject.—itivested with powers so extensive, that they only with the tremendous respon sibility attending their undue exercise—and removed 'to such a distance from these - shores, that half the • revolving year is insufficient to enable him to reply . to any matter an which he is questioned ; such an Officer, the Governor-General of India, is ar raigned in his absence, before an assen.vi of Eng lishmen,:and his disgrace and degradation put to the vote, not merely without a hearing in his defence, but, are incredible as it may seem, without even one particle of • _ • evidence adduced or called for in substantiation tf the Charges alleged against him.

Early this morning an extraordinary courier arrived at the Foreign Office, with the news of the unexpected death of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, on his way back from Taganrok to St. Petersburg!). The dis• may and the grief which this deeply lamented event has uniyetsally excited, is the most speaking proof of the greatness and importance of the loss which not only Russia but Europe, has sustained. More particular accounts are impatiently expected. The restoration and the maintenance of race in our part of the world was Alexander's work ; and, as the genius of peace (as an ingenious artist once represented him), he has been extolled by his contemporaries, and will be gratefully remembered by posterity. 111011M11.611, Dictum. 15. Several expresses from Berlin have brought the me lancholy intelligence of the unexpected death of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia. Ateording to the let ters received by the post from Berlin, this event was generally known there, and had spread universal grief; and our Correspondent writes: " On the news received, from Warsaw of the death of the Emperor Alexander, at Taganrok, there was an entire stagnation on 'Change and the Stock market., There were numerous sellers at the quotation, but very little business could be done.— Our readers will see in our article from St. Fetersburgh, that the last public accounts of his Majesty were .still from the Crimea, to which his Majesty had gone from Taganrok, as we alieady know, and that they speak of his Majesty as being . in perfectly good health. Dec. 16.—The above news arrived here (at . Ham burgh) in the night of the.l4th, from Berlin, to which place it was brought by a courier, to the office for Fo reign Affairs. The death of the Emperor took place on his way back from Taganrok to St. Petersburgh. ST. PETERSBURG% Themes 5. The St. I'eteribu4l Jouraal gives accounts from Sympheropol, in the Crimea, .of 7th November, where his Majesty arrived on the sth, from Taganrok, having come by way of Nogaesk and Ptrecop, and sits fe., ceived with great joy. Oa the 6th, after hezring Divine Service in the Cathedral, he set out, at nine o'clock in the - morning, in good health,by the new road, on the south coast of the Crimea, to the estate of Court Michael Semenowitsch Woroneow, where his Majesty dined and stopped for the might. Novzsma 30.—We have received the following official account of the visit of his 111ajerty the Emperor to Neutschetkask, the capital of the Don Cossacki.— On the 24th of last month, his Majesty arrived there, and was received by the Ataman of the Cossacks, Lieut.-General Howaisky, Adjutant-General Tscher nitschew, and the other Generals. The Ataman de livered to his Majesty an account of the state of all the corps of Cossacks; after which, his Majesty, with it numerous suite, went to hear Divine Service in the Cathedral, and then proceeded to the house of the Atarnan. The neat day be gave audiences to the Ec. clesiastical and Military Authorities, and then viewed all the Public Establishments. His Majesty dined with theAtaman, and honoured with his presence a ball given by that Officer, which his Majesty opened with the Ataman's Lady. On the 26th, the Emperor returned to Taganrok. On his tour through the Crimea, his Majesty arrived on the sth at Sympheropol, where he was received by the Civil Governor of Taurida, and passed the 6th and 7th a: the fine country seat of Count Wororzow. General Kolugriewow, of the cavalry, died at Moscow on the 18th. • Dkctrasza 3.—Prince Lowenstein Wertheim arrived here yesterday, as Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Bavaria, with the official notification of the death of King Maximilian, and of the accession of King Lewis 1. The Ambassador of the Khan of Ruchiria, arrived on the 18th at Moscow, from Otenburg, the object of his mission is said to be cf a commercial nature. The day .befi re yesterday the cold became pretty severe; the. thermometer being 10 degrees Iteaumur below freezing. The Neva, and all the canals, are full of ail; ice, and the communication between the is for the present supended. several quarters of the city Ilrus.els Papers to the instant reached s lit this morning. They state that A 1.31 itish Cabinet Messenger passed through that city on the 17th, on his way from Berlin to London, with dispatches of great importance. The intelligence of the death of the Emperor At.ExAN liza had not officially transpired, but it was repinted On SUnsfaiind Monday last, at Brussels. The following % • are extracts: BRUSSELS, Deesmsta 20. • Iris 'Excellency the Russian Minister set out this shinning, at ttn - n•anck; for the Hague. its‘ount. loom Ant tcrJans of the 18th, say s that the miohigi news spread the day Ixfoil. at 'Change, of the (kith or the Elisiiator, had had a verfncravoirable . effect or the price of the Fusttlia •: • II A our.; Ilecimme 17. After the debates on the budget were closed, the Nlinirer of the Interior and of iusice, and the Director General of the affairs rela.ive to the Catholic worship, spoke itt answer to the of jectinns that had been made by different speakers. The latter said, " I do not rise to renew the debate, but merely to say, that I am aF• thorised to announce, that if there are still any persoos who retain the . least doubts respecting the legality' and the propriety of the decrees of his Majesty, of 14th June last, a document will shortly appear, which, it is hoped, { will quiet their alarms, not only on this point,-but also on others ; and which will afford proof of the constant solicitude of tour august Sovereign to protect the precious. deposit of our religious liberties, transmitted to us by our ancestors." The French Papers of Tuesday, and the Emile of yesterday, have reached us. The death of the Emperor of RUSSIA is of course a prominent feature in them, but they contain no additional information on the sub ject. TI :e Etoile states, the the Emperor was on his return to Petersburgh, to he present at the Christmas fetes, and that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count NESSELRODIC, had received letters from his Imperial Majesty, relative to the conferences between his Excel lency and the British and French Ambassadors. The Eteile cant:airs a copy of the treaty of commerce and navigation, entered into between Great Britain and the Hanseatic towns, the ratifications of which were exchanged in London on the 2,1 instant. It is a treaty of pure reciprocity, by which the vessels of Great Bd. ta'n are admitted to the ports of the Hanseatic towns on the same conditions as their own vessels, which po.. se s a similar privilege in our own ports. Accounts from Vienna state, the diplomatic negocia- 1 tioas between the Austrian Cabinet and the foreign Ambassadors continue, and no doubt is entertained that .she affairs cf Greece is the subject which occupies their attention, though nothing transpires as to the result. An article from blidrid states, that a Colonel, an Adjutant, and a Captain of the French garrison in Bt. Sebastian, had been put under arrest by order of the General commanding the subdivision at Bayonne. The Quotidienne, in a letter from Madrid, treats ns to softie. curious information respecting the state of affairs in South America. It woold appear that General OLANITA, who was killed by the PAltiots some sik or eight months ago, is revived in the Madrid Gazette, and maintains the Royal cause in Upper Peru. Mean- while all the Insurgent Generals are making insurrec tions against each other, so that the Royalists will have noshing else to do but to occupy the field which their mutual,sleughter. shall have left vacant. There will thus he.: die necessity for an expedition from ,Spain, as the , Prftr;Tot General LAMAR Will fight BOLIVAR; LANZ* will overthrow &YORK; and the other Generals, Captains, and soldier:, will all; like the offspring of the dragon's teeth, destroy each other. The Journal des 'Debos contains a long article on the character of the deceased EhIItZROR, in which some partiCulars respecting !um are, we believe, stated fur the first time. It seems the French are indebted to ALXXANDRR for the integrity of the kingdom. The Rhenish Mercury, a journal which was the organ of the Liberals of Germany at the close of the war, con tended for the separation of Alsace from France, as being not only. German in race and language, but forming pan of the valley of a German river. We have now an explanation of the manner in which the design of detaching Alsace was frustrated. "We have had occasion to see (says the Journal des Debats), the Memoires in which one of the most able of the Prus sian Generals (Gketszkistr, we suppose) demonstrated to the German Minces, that it would be both shameful and dangerous for -the Germanic Federation not to recover Alsace; it was Russia which turned aside this blow, by maintaining that this province ought to revert to Austria, which gave rise to a contest between the Conquerors." The following extract is from the Moils of yesterday: PARTS, Dae. 20. Some Journals, in announcing the death of the Emperor Alexander, incorrectly call him the descend• ant of Peter the Great. Peter I. was of the House of Itomanoff, %% Mat mounted the Throne of Russia in /613, in the person of the Czar Michel Fedorowitz. The Empress Elia4heth. daughter of Peter the Great, dying childless in 1762, it passed to the Prince Parr of Holstein Gottorp, the son of another daughter of Peter the Great. He took the name of Peter 111. the Emperor Paul was his son, and the Emperor Alexander, consequently, was his grandson. The house of Holstein Gottorp, which reigns in Rus siA, is a branch of the ancient house of Oldt-nburgh, which reigns in Denmark, and reigned in Sweden until it was succeeded in the latter kingdom by the family of Beraadotte. The conditions of the marriage of the Grand Duke Constantine with the Princess de Lowimare the same as those of the union of the King of Prussia with the Prin cess de Leignits. Neither of the females are to share the titles or the hononrs of Sovereignty ; nor are their children to have any claim as heirs to the crown. An absurd story appeared in a Morning Paper of yesterday, which would, as the Americans say. have been 41 important if true." It attributed the death of the Emperor of Ituasta to the hand of ar. assassin. and brands a Prince with the worst of crimes on grounds 'so slier; (or rather 11,1 grounJs all), that we are astonished at the hardihood with which it is put forth, and its accuracy main dined.
