announced to out people tharwe had just ascended the throne, is known in all'its details by the accounts which we have caused to be published of it. " dt the moment when die first bodies of the State, all the civil and military functionaries, the people, the troops, were unanimously taking to us the oath of obe dience and fidelity, and, assembled in the temples of the Lotto, were invoking the D:vine blessing on our reign, a.handful of factious persons,.opposing this na-. .tiond act, d.tred to brave the laws, authority, military discilaite, and persuasion. To dispor•e this troop of . rebels it was necessary to employ fo•ce. Such, in a few words, is the whole of this event. Little imyortant in itself, it is but too much so horn its origin and its consequences. Bur whatever grief they may cause us. we find in them the impenetrab:e ways of PROVIDENCE, who punishes evil, and from that evil itself causes good to proceed. " On the mere sight n' the first results of the inqu!ry into the troubles of the 26th, in the assemblage which produced them two classes of men are recognized.— The first were only misled; they were ignorant of the ' plat; the others, real conspirators, served as their guides. " What did those misled meta int-•nd ?—To preset ve the faith of their oaths. Every artifice had been em • played to make them believe that they were defen.ling the thi one ; and under the empire of this idea, they were unable to listen to any other persuasion. 4. What did the conspirators intend? The sacred words of fidiity, oath, legitimate utter, even the none of the Cesatowitsch and the Grand Duke Constantine, were for them only a preteit for treason. They wished to profit by the moment to accomplish their criminal designs—designs long contrived, lung meditated, long matured in dam bless, and the mystery of whiCh the Government had penetrated only in part. They intended to cast down the throne and the laws-s—to overturn the empire —to produce anarchy. " What were their means? Assassination. Their first victim was the Military Governor Count Milorado• witsch. He, whom in the field of honour, the chance • of war had spared in fifty battles, has fallen under the hand of an assassin. This nierder is not the only one. Count Smiler, commander of the regiment of Grena diers of the Body Guard, killed; Major ! Generals Schenschin and niedericks, and others, severely wounded, have sealed with their blood their fidelity to honour and to duty. " Hurried in the tumult, the soldiers of the com- panics that were seduced did not participate in these crimes, either in act or intention. A rigorous inquiry has given me the proof of this, and I consider it as a first act of justice. as well as my first consolation, to declare them innocent. " Bit the same justice forbids us to spare the guilty. An those against whom proceedings are instituted, and who shall be convicted, till undergo a punishment pro portioned to their crimes. " From the measures already taken in the proceed, ings, the puoishment will embrace in its whole extent in all its ramifications, an evil, the germ of which is of the growth of years, and I am confident they will destroy it to the very root ; they will purge of this foreign con tagion the sacred s ill of Russia; they will cause to disappear that odious mixture of melancholy truths end gratuitous suspicions which is repugnant to noble minds; they will draw for ever a decisive and inef faceable line of demarcation between love of country and revoltrionary passions—between the desire of improve. ment and the rage of convulsions—they ss jll shew to the world that the. Russian nation, always faithful to its Soiereign and to the la*s, repels the secret efforts of anarchy, as it has repelled the open attacks of its de clared enemies—they will shew how people may.free themselves from such a scourge—they will prove that it is not everywhere indestructible. " We have the hope and the right to expect these salutary results, from the attachment which all classes of our subjects shew to us and to our throne. • Even at the time of the events of the 26th, we found, with joy and with gratitude, in the inhabitants of the capital, as much aff:ction as zeal; in the troops, the most impa tient desire to chastise the revolt at the first signal of the Al.march ; in dish. Officers, the most sincere devo tedness, inspited by a profound feeling of love to us, and by trrie honour.. " Among them wat distinguished Count Milora d la it ch, an inti ei.id soldier, an able Captain, an Offi cer constantly loved, terrible in war, gentle in peace, in his administrati , :n tirll of justice, zealous in fulfi ling the orders of his Sovereign, a devoted son of the Church, an►d of the courary, I.e has fallen under the blow of a cowardly and perfidious hand, far from the fields o 1 battle; but he has fallen faithful to his duty, and his memory is imperishable iu the annals of Russia.. •• Given at Si. - Petersburgh, the 21st December, in the year of grace 1825, and the first of our reign. (Signed) •• NICII OL AS." The city of Moscow has taken the oath of allegiance to his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas, with the greatest enthusiasm.

It appears that the Emperor NICHOLAS is decidedly called to the Throne by the law of the land. A document is pub lished, under the hand of the Cesarovitch CONSTAN• TINE, dated the 20th December, which no doubt is the declaration alluded loin the manifesto of the EMPEROR, on asseming the diadem, it is in answer to an address sent to the Grand Duke, after his having been pro. claimed as EMPEROR, disclaiming the title, referring to the will of ALEXANDER, which had settled the succes sion on NICHOLAS, and reminding the public autho. /Hies of their oath of allegiance to the late EMPEROR, which included also an oath of fidelity to such person as should be designated his successor. This clearly establishes the position which we laid down a few days Age, from the history of the Empire, thlt in Ito e ssia 131 IMOgt111: ure confers no title to the Throne, except in he absence of any designation to the contrary by the edict or will of the reigning Sovereign. For it will have appeared by our statement, that iut of fourteen! r General Tchitchelin, commanding the Dragoons of the' Guards, and Mijor General Andreitffsky, commanding the Hulans of the Guard; to. Col. Baron Arbs Hove% commanding the Hussad of the Guard ; to MajOrGesi.

Regiments and Battalions, for the exactness and ability with which they executed the commission that was given alerts.. A douceor of one ruble, of a glass of brandy, and of a pound .of fish per man is granted to the subalterns and so'diers of these corps. By the same order et the day, Colonel Schemsell, of the Dragoon* of the Guard, is app, inted Aid de - Camp to his Majesty, retaining his preceding functions. We tecei we from Warsaw the followitsg piece, which we hasten to publish:— " Address of his Imperial Highness the Cesarowitselt and Grand Duke Constantine Pawlowitsch, tothe Minister of Justice, Gene- ral of Infantry, Prince Lohanow Rostovroky. " The Counsellor of the College of the Section of the Procurators General orthe 'Directing Senate 1145 re mitted to me a dispatch from your Highness with the address— , To his Imperial Majesty Constanrine Paw. iuwitsch, a very submissive Report of the Mit.ister of Justice. " As I do not think myself entitled to accept it, be cause, according to tliis direction it is not sent to me, I send it back to your Highness by the same Officer. 13y my letter of the 3d (15th) December, to his Excellency the President of the Senate, the Privy Councilor of the first class, Prince Lapouchin, your Highness must have been exactly inlormed of the reasons which do not per mit me to accept the Imperial dignity , . I have, in cpnsequence, only to repeat to you in a few words, that according to the oath taken by all the subjects on the accevion of his Majesty the Emperor Alex ander, of glorious memory, in which among other things, it is expressly said, that every subject is faithfully to serve and to obey in all things, not only his Majesty, the Emperor Alexander Pawlo witsch, but also the successor to the throne of his Imperial Majesty who should be designated, and, as it appears born the documents opened in the Council of State, which are entirely conformable to those deposited with the Directing Senate, that by the supreme will of his late Majesty, the Grand Duke Ni cholas has been designated as successor to the throne, the Directing Senate, as conservator of the will of his late Majesty the Emperor Alexander . Pawlowitsch, of glorious memory, ought to have carried it, and will carry it into execution. " While acknowledging with gratitude the attachment which the Directing Senate has shewn to my person, I request your Highness t o express to that noble body all my gratitude, adding that the more deeply I feel the value of this attachment, the inure I am penetrated w ith the duty of conforming unalterably to the will manifested by hia late Imperial Majesty."

Emperor NICHOLAS,' the disturbances at St. Petersburgh are attributed to the intrigues of secret convpieators, workirig.on the ig norance of the soldiery. Those are the •ery same class of restless revolutionists st ho, under difireni names, F . are found in every part (if Eurcipe. In Spain they are Freemasons, though unlike that harmless Society in .1111 'but the name ; in Italy they are Carhonari ; in France Liberuls ; in Germany Illuminati; and in Russia Secret Society men ; in short, they are ever ywhete the same family and actuated by the same views—a transfer of the powers of Government and the possession of pro perty from tho-e who have them to themselves, who have not the enjoyment of these desirable attainments:— and they are ever to be distinguiThed frot b ake well meaning citizens who desire temperate, gradual, and real improvement. The Irish Catholic Association met again on Thurs day, when the H , ,n. Mr. PRESTON was called to the Chair. The attempt at getting Protestant Peers to the " Grand National [inner," on the 2d f February, does not succeed : as letters were read from the Marquis of SLIGO, the Earl of KINGSTON, and the Earl of MEATH, all declining to atten4 Mr. BAGWELL and Mr. Ggoßoc ENSOR sent similar letters. Oa the motion of Lord KILLEEN, it was resolved that the Petition to the House of Lards should be confided to the Marquis of LANs- DOWN. Lord KILLEEN next moved that the presentation of their Petition to the House of Commous be confided to Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Mr. CORLEY suggested Mr. PLUNKETT. This WAS opposed by Mr. LAWLESS, who also objected to Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, because he had advocated the Wings. Mr. L. concluded with proposing that the Petition be entrusted to Mr. BROUGHAM. Mr. O'Connect. defended the worthy Baronet, and thee made a furious attack on the British Bible Society, designating its members a 4 4 gang" of Bible distributors; Ns if circulating the Sacred Sctiptures WAS a crime. ' Mr. Sa►EL followed, and expressed his opinion of the impolicy of agitating the question of Catholic Emanci pation in an expiiing House of Commons. In the course of his speech he remarked that Mr. O'Cosnacr. was too sensitive on the sneers or attacks on the Catho• lics. Mr. O'CoNtraLt. read the draft of a petition from the pen of Mr. BRIG, for a repeal of the Act which sup pressed the old Association. He said 44 he was ashamed of the English Catholic 4 that they had not purchased shares in the leading journals of the Country, which could be easily done." It is curious enough to see Mr. O'CONNELL wanting to get hold of that press he is constantly vituperating, but DANIEL does not stick at trifles. This forenoon . we received the Allgemeine Zeit ung, and Frankfort Papers to the 17th instant. An article from Vienna of the llth'states, that his Imperial High ness the Archduke EIRWN . AND of Este set out that day on his tnission to Sr. Petersburgh. His Highness goes bi way of Breslau, and will be three weeks on the road. These Papers contain a very interesting article from St. Petersburgh on the subject of the Military Colonies, l which appear to have completely failed. It appears' they do not supply the force required, and cause poverty among the peasants, and discontent in all classes.-The following are extracts : TUB RUSSIAN MILITARY COLONIES. ST. PETERSBURGH, Dec. 17. The official report respecting the military cdlonies is now published, and is extremely remarkable in its kind. Its author is Count Arakscbejeff, the Governor of those Colonies. It appears from this report, that the advan tages which were proposed in the establishment of those colonies hate not been obtained. It was calculated that they would increase within themselves sufficiently to render any other mode of recruiting unnecessary; but the mortality among the sons of the soldiers has been so great, in comparison with the births, that Count Arak schejeff was obliged, in order to complete the regi ments, to take soldiers' children from the crown vit. loges, or from villages belonging to other proprietors.— But where would children be found, if the whole army were colonised, and the conscription abolished? We see further, from the report, that of the 15,061 males, and 12,670 females, comprising the northern district, only 4,751 have not become a burden to the Govern • ment. Consequently the Government has had to pro vide for 23.251, in.tead of for 6,000, which was the utmost number provided for. Thus, about six-seventh parts of these military colonists do not support and maintain themselves, as it was expected they would do. On the contrary, the Government must find support and provisions for the colonised battalions, as well as for those on service, and at the same time provide for the other indigent individuals, of whom there is a con stantly increasing number in these settlements. It may, therefore, Lie assumed, that if, of the six hundred batta-' lions of the Russian army two hundred were settled, the remaining part would cost much more than all the six hundred would have cost. To this must be added the expenses of the first establishment, and the loss in the annual revenue. It is said that every colonised Regi ment cost the State five millions of rubles annually; this would make, for 200 Regithents, the enormous sum of: 1,000 millions of rubles.. But, if we take only the half, the sum will still be very large. If the plan were to be executed to its full eicttat, the colonisation would include three millions of individuals. Each of these pays the Government a poll -tax, which, on an average, may be estimated at eigLt rubles at the least. , -- There would, therefore, be an annual loss of twenty four millions of rubies, not to mention the diminished amount of the brandy d'stilleries, and many other, b. anches of n venue, as 'hi,. v4016.'46°11 reduces the pea sants to poverty. Such 4.. .u. At sacrifices %%le certainly note 'contemplated, Wl , eit this idea was suggested am late Emperor. Indeed, other Powers have conceived much too formidable an idea of this system. It has, besides, produced eff cts equally important and melancholy with respect to the dispositions of the pe"ple ; it has'ex cited greit discontent both among the nobility and the peasants. T..e f .rmer suffered in their revenues, the latter were disturbed in their econom,.. (The farmers distil and sell brandy). In this we must seek the first causes r f a discontent, for which t!.e late Empetor him self was not in any respect to blame. The following intelligence from Sonth America was this morning posted at the North and S )uth American Coffce-house " NEW YORK, JAW. 2. eg We learn by the arrival of the Eliza, Captain Mamma, from Alvarado yesterday, that the news of the surrender of St. Juan Ulloa, was received there on the 19th ; and on the 24th great rejoicings rook place throughout Mexico, which continued for three days, agreeable to the President's Proclamation. All vas bustle and confusion at Alvarado when the Eliza sailed, in consequence of the great preparations that were making by-the inhabitants, to rem rve to Vera Cruz.-- Furniture and merchandise of every description were strewed along the beach, ready to be taken on board coasters. Several merchants had alrea:iy rented hawses at Vera Cruz, and were only waiting for perm issi.us from Government to transport their goods in foreign vessels free of duty ; the transportation, however, would be delayed some time, as the houses in Vera Cruz were in a very bad condition, and would require a deal of repair. People were flocking into Vera Cruz from every part of the country to secure hous:es." New York Papers to the 3 Ist ult. have reached ts.„ They contain the Annual Tie isury Report, which is ex tremely long. The Public Revenue of the United States in 1821, amounted (including a Loan of 5,0(0,000 dollars) to 21,381,212 dollars; making with the balance in the Treasury, Ist January, 1824, 019.463.922 dollars, an aggregate of 33,845,135 dollars. The Expenditure amounted to 31,898,538 dollars ; leaving a balance in the Treasury of 1,946,597 dollars. The actual Receipts into the Treasury eluting the three first Quarters of 182.5, were 21,681,44 dollars ; and those of the 4th Quarter are estimated at 5,100,00 ) dollars; making with the above balance of 1,94.6,597 dollars, an aggregate of 28,723,041 dollars. The total estimated Expenditure of the year is 22,4.43,979 dollars, leaving a balance in the Treasury, Ist. January, 1826, of 5,284,061 &liars. The total amount of Funded Debt, due on the lat Ott. 1825, was . . .. 'D.80,985,537 .. :The eidinated . Receipt for 1826, is . . the estimated Expenditure . . . 25,500,00(Y 20,984,750 Leaning a Balance in the Treasury of . . D.4,915,:t70 The gross amount of Duties accruing upon imports aid tonnages from the Ist of January to the 13th of September last, is estimated at 25,54000 dollars. The gross amount expected to accrue for the whole year is estimated at 31,000,000. Should this amount prove to be correct, it will exceed. by 6,000,000 dollars, that which has accrued during any one year since the excessive importations that immediately followed the War ; ♦iz. those of 1815 and 1816. Speaking of the late reJuction of duties it► Great Britain, on commodities imported, the Sem tary says, " The most important articles of this list ate already so thoroughly established in the manufactories of Be itain, as to be beyond the reach of competition from ahroao. Hence the privilege of introducing them there, and especially to any large extent, meaning fur consump tion in Britain (without here alluding to her ware lhousing system) must prove in the end to be nominal 'rather than real. Among the list are seen fabrics of woollen, of cotton, of linen, of hardware, and the new scale of duties is to have added to them, in every case, the amount of any internal excise duty previously existing, or which may at any time after wards be imposed, upon the same articles when manu factured in England. The forecast of tliat country, in all that relstes to the interest of her manufactures, justifies the belief, that she will not fail to conciliate the continued protection of them, nbatever other abrogations she may engraft upon her commercial code, either in relation to the other nati'►ns of the world, or to her own dependencies, in whatever part of it." The Sec►etary then goes on to argue in favour of the policy of encouraging and sustaining the American Manufacturing Interest, and closes with .a recommen dation to increase the duties on imported fine cottons, and to decrease them on teas, coffee, and cocoa. One motive foe lessening the duty on teas, is to encourage the China trade. The French Papers received this morning, contain a letter from Madrid, of the 11th Jattbary, stating, that it was again expected a change in the Ministry would take place—that the Duke LINFANTADO and BALLAsrEans would return their fertefeeille ; but it was impossible to foresee what effect the continual change of Mi nistry would have on the Public. It was not a change of Ministry they wanted, but credit. One of the French Evening Papers itates, that a report prevailed at Frank fort, on the 15th, that the Empress ELIZABITH Was dead at Taganrog.
