In the present situation of affairs, our recollections are involuntarily drawn to the vast empire of Rome under the Caesars ; there is a certain identity in the position of Russia at present. I have just received intelligence directly from St. Petersburgh, which came .through the maritime cities. Iris still more doubtful! and more uncertain. After long family deliberatin rs on the 24th December, in the evening, the proclamation of the 12th, in the Russian and German language-, was posted up in the forty-two quarters of the City, and read on the,quays of the Admiralty, of Basil, at the gate of Catherine 11. and ac the foot of the statue of Peter I. Everything went off quietly; the people, who are almost wholly traders, took little part in the ce temerity. On the morning of the 2.sth,the troops were as sembled, under arms, at their respective parades, in the islands formed by the Neva,heforethe Hotel des Cadets. The greater part of the Regiments of the Guards took the oath without murmuring, but without enthusiasm; the yowl . Guard,__and especially the Regiment al Lithuania,. and the Winec, refused to take it, shouting ' Constantine for ever.' On this General Milorado• witch, the Governor. of Sr. Petersburgh, who had as• sisted •at all the previous deliberations, surrounded with promptitude the mutinous troops, who kept a well sustained fire until the artillery was brought against them, for the preparations wee e the same as in a regular engagement. General Miloradowitch was killed by a man in a frock ; two other Gene: al Officers were se verely wounded. The square was covered with dead and wounded, and so eager was the contest between the com batants, fellow-soldiers and fellOw-citizeus, that it might have been looked on as an action with a foreign foe.— 'The accounts of the result of this affair are various.— Some say that the mutineers recognised Nicholas I. as Emperor of Russia, King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland, and that they implored his clemency; that everything was ttanquil in the Imperial Palace; and that a Te Drum had been chauated by the Priests in the $6 Greek Churches in the capital ; that the Acts of the Chancery, the Judgments of the Courts and Tribu nals are issued in the name of Nicholas. Others say, that far from imploring the clemency of the Sovereign, and submitting to his laws, the mutineers, on the con trary, have entrenched themselves in the Admiralty, and that everything is in confusion at St. Petersbugh ; that such of the guards as remain faithful, encamp round thesPalace as round a citadel, and that, in a word, the most dreadful disasters are anticipated. I shall not finish this letter without giving you some information touching the army, which is called on to protect the new successor of the Czars. Yciu know that secret societies have diffused their unhappy influence through out all sl:grees, and throughout all countries._ When, in 1813, the students of the Universities of Ger many and Prussia joined the ranks of the Allied Armies, affiliated so-ieties were ciandestintny formed, which extended themselves through the whole of the artuiesi of the Holy Confederation. The Russian officers, in particular, adopted the ptinciples of this Carbonarism ; and in this point the armies of the Czars are perhaps mere demoralized than any other. What is to be feared in the midst of these debates about the Sovereignty is, that under the cover of au august name, these hidden and perverse associations should gain ground and lead to a civil war, in their attempts at :pastel y. This is an additional consideration, which, amongst others, must weigh in your deliberations. 44 P. S. it is asserted that the Emperor Nicholas, the better to inspire them with devotedness to him, told the Regiments of his Guards that Constantine had been nominated Generalissimo of the Russians. Letters from IWarsaw announce that Constantine had not admitted the Deputation of the Russian Senate which came to pay their hothage to him. He had refused to admit several other Deputations which came to congratulate him on his arrival. It is remarkedahat the dispatches from Warsaw were sealed with red, as formerly. No thing can equal the impatience with which, throughout all Germany, news horn Russia is looked for. In the meantime the German papers dare hardly repeat the numerous reports that are in circulation, so much terror is-eningled with the general impatience." words employed for the abdication of the unfortunate Peter HI. in 1762. This is a melancholy retrospect, and a bad augury for the future. What modesty .ia the expression of a Prince full of vigour and talents.; and what coldness in the redly of A'exander,which says, as much as I know you are incapable of reigning. —The language of C instan:ine is not that of a Dio clesian, who will disearbarrass himself of a throne, and . retire to private life. It is. a subject trembling before his master—he feels he cannot refuse, and he •knows what a refusal may cost him. Without waiting for Constantine': answer to the message announcing the oaths of the Imverial Princes, the Grand Duke Ni cholas was proclaimed Emperor on the 12th of De. cember. To him the soldiers, who a few days before had sworn leaky to Constantine, were required to swear obedience. Some obeyed; others refn-ed..and blood shed ensued. Of which side are the rebels? the ques tion is not clonbtful; bet in Russia force will decide.—. WIT Oita* Sot wait for Constantineamaiwer ? What wit be the consequence of confiding in the events 4 St. Petersburgh, when Constantine was proclaimed a; Warsaw. Why is this silence as to what has passed at the Court of Constantine? We have news from St. Petersburgh, why not from Warsaw ? This silence is terrific ! What a futurity does it bode to Russia. to Europe ! A crowd of reflections suggest themselves on the sub.. ject of the events of which St. Petersburgh is at Ibis moment the theatre. Alexander died. His legitimate heir was proclaimed, The troops to rk the oath of fide• lily to Constantine. This Prince, however, considering himself bound by a previous promise, renounced the, empire, at least it is so announced. Nicholas was pro claimed, and the soldiers called upon by a new oath to renounEe the Sovereign they had jest acknowledged and devote themselves to another Pi ince. There was some hesitation. A portion . of the troops declared for Constantine ; another portiOn of them , for Nicholas. Ought not this result to have been foreseen? How could it be desired that, after so many doubts as to the truth of an abdication,giveo at a distance of 400 leagues,aud which was made known to them but by him who was to profit from it, that the soldiers should believe, it? How were they to * know that Constantine had not himself been compelled to recognise his brother ? This step was so probable, that the prolonging of his stay at Warsaw, under such such extraordinary circumstances, could nit but give rise to singular conjectures. This uncertainty—a terrible uncertainty—succeeded to as amiable family arrangement, which made the succession to the most extensive empii e in the world the subject of a generous contention. This was the cause of the struggle which commenced at St. Petersburgh. What will follow at Moscow ? What will happen At Warsaw ? General Miloradowitsch, who has just been killed in the tumult at St. Petersburgh,had gained agreatinanies by his, trrilliant valour assd enterprising character..

It is asked, moreover, if Poland is to cease to obey the Emperor of Russia, since nothing has been done there in the name of Nicholas, and if the Russian Polish army, commanded by Constantin-, was to be detached+ ,from the military forces of that great empire, since the oath of allegiance to the new Emperor has not yet been called for by Constantine, its chief, and Vicegerent of the Imperial power in Poland. •' We receive no authentic intelligence except from Warsaw. The couriers from St. Petersburgh are stopped, as it is said, in the capital of Poland. I know not whether this measure has been adopted by Con stantine, for the purpose of keeping foreign Govern ments from learning the melancholy events of the capi tal ; or whether it is to be considered merely as a piece of policy, rendered necessary by the peculiar situation of Poland, and the feelings of its people; but as you know that we have other means of communication with St. Petersburgh, by the way of Dantzic, Konigsberg. Riga, and Revel, our Government, which is so deeply interested in knowing what is going forward in respect to the succession to the throne of Russia, keeps up a regular communication by that route. " Letters from the interior of Russia, from Mohilow, Smolensk, and Novogorod, announce that a certain emotion, or, at least, a feeling of deep anxiety is mani fested in those internal parts where Russian manners are more distinctly marked than at St. Petersburgh, and, above all, that the Chiefs and the army are objects 'of dread. You know that+++ besides the garrison of St.Pe tersburgh,which consists of thirty or forty thousand men, there are about ten armies disposed over the vast terri tories of Rossi r. In the neighbourhood of Novogorod is can:oried a mi'itary column of 24+,000 men; General Sackett commands the army of Witepsk, Smolensk, and Mohilow, which is about 40,000 strong. " The army of Bessarabia, added to that of Podolia, reckons more than 100,000, destined to observe Tur key : without counting the military columns of the Ukraine, the Cossacks of the Don, &c. Now you will observe that the Emireror regnant must get his power acknowledged by all these armies, over whom the opi nions and feelings of the inhabitants of the interior have always an influence, smaller or greater. In respect to those feelings, all I can say to you is, that they Are not favourable to new ideas. There is much nt of the zeauine It issian at Mosc iw than at St. Petersburgh, and Mnsc+.w is a civilised city compared with the less impo t +nt cities which borsl:r un the Volga, and even =it CS, %ROM THE COIIRICR FRANCAII. When the Proclamation of Ccuistautine was known at Paris, the Russian Ambassador ha%tenecl to call to gether all persons of his nation, to make them take the oath to the new Emperor. Nuw that the Proclamation of Nicholas is known, in a manner equally official, peo ple are astonisheri that the Russian Ambassador has not caused a new oath to be taken to that Prince. It seems that experience has rendered him circumspect, and that the aspect of affairs makes him feel that there might be danger in being in too great a hurry. FROM TRV JOURNAL DRS DRBATS. PARIS, JANUARY 141. Constantine was influenced by a violent passion, for he wished at any price to be uni:ed to the woman he adored. The Empress Mother arid his brother imposed on him the condition of renunciation, as the price of their consent to his marriage. The contract was forced on him, and he only accepted it because a violent pas- sion subdue.' him. He might, in fact, also, as there were only two years difference between the brothers, calculate that the chances of their life were nearly equal; and he might also suppose, in case of surviving him, that he might be released from a renunciation, on ac count of a mart iage which was not at all opposed to the old prejudices of the Russians. Was not this, too, the reason why Alexander exacted a second renunciation in 1822? On this second occasion, Constantine said— Not believing myself endowed with the mind, the capacity, or the necessary powers, it 1 were called to the high dignity to which 1 am entitled by my birth, 1 sumilica e your Majesty to transfer this right to him who immediately follows me." These were the !Mlle A lamentable. circu trist.atice occurred at Buenos Ayres on Vie 30th of September, the particulars of which are related by the unfortunate sufferer, in the following letter: " Buenos Ayres, October 1, 1•25. " SIR—I take the liberty of calling your attention to a vet y violent and unptovoked assault which has been committed on me under circumstances that induce me to solicit your interference, in order to prevent the recur rence of similar outrages in future. "As I was returning yesterday afternoon from a ride, I met in the Calle del 25 de Mayo, a procession, which I have since been informed was that of the Host, but of the nature of which I was then so ignorant as to suppose it was a funeral ; and in order to let it pass seithout any interruption from me, I drew my horse up as pear the wail as possible. In this situation I waited until the procession reached me, when a black man, who was cat rying a lanthorn, approached me in such a manner as led me to suppose he was asking alms, on which I put my timid in my pocket for the purpose of giving him some money ; but before I could withdraw it, or even had the least conception cf his design, he seized nt.ld of my left hand, and throwing me under my horse, to the manifest danger of my life, he wrenched the first joint of my thumb so violently, and dislocated it so completely, that on recovering my feet I found the sockets of the joint protruding through the skin. This atrocious outrage, instead of calling for the interference of the other members *1 the procession in my favour, appeared to be fully approved of by every one of them whom I had an opportunity of observing. ' It was however witnessed by a sewn/ my countrymen, ' whose attestation of the correctness of the above facts I subjoin for your satisfaction, as also that of Dr. Lep per, my medical attendant, as - to the severity of thit injury I have received. " I have considered it a dory I owe to myself as well .as to my countrymen, and every foreigner who may ' visit this country, and who, like me, may be ignorant of its customs, to lay this matter before you, fer I am con+ vinced you will see the necessity of some measures being taken to put a stop to an abuse which thus endangers the life of every individual, who, however desirous he may be to respect the laws and conform to the customs of the country, may not be acquainted with all the out ward forms of its religious ceremonies.

STEPHSNSUN. • We grieve to add, that in consequence of the dislo. caion, a locked jaw came on, of which Mr. Stephenson died on the 21st of October. He was Captain of the English merchant ship the Tipton Hall, and was much respected in his profession. What makes the event doubly distressing is,. that the unhappy victim of bigotry and barbarism has left four children, whci were entirely dependent on him for support. Accounts were received yesterday from Constanti nople of the 12th uh. Some of the letters allude to the ♦isit of ALEXANDER to the frontiers, as one of the causes of the opening of the negotiations with the Greeks. The death of tl:e Manama was not known at Constantinople nu the lath ultimo, owing, no doubt, to the prevalence of soutl erly winds, which prevented all arrivals from the Black Sea—the usual way in which Itubsian news reaches the Tut kish Capital.
