RUSSIAN HEAD-QUARTERS, RZEIVIN, JULY Russian army has so far executed successfully the proposed movements from the environs of Pultusk to the Vistula. It marched in three co'umns ; General Count Witt led the left to Sochazyn ; the centre, with which the Field- Marshal was in person, marched by way of Sousk La berady, and at Maul Szyn over the Ukra ; the right (the Imperial Guards)trom Moscow, by way of Ciechanow, in the direction of Ruiconz. General Count Pahlen led the vanguard, and a great team of the waggons, with pro visions for twenty days, formed with a reserve part at first of a fourth column, and afterwards followed the Guards. The outposts towards Mod!in and Sierock had orders to remain stationary for two days, and also a regi ment of dragoons in Pultusk. The Field-Marshal had made arrangements, in ease the enemy should advance from Modlin or Wyssogrod ; this, however, seems not to have been the intention of the Poles, who have withdrawn their parties to Medlin, and the Cossacks of General Ulassoff have already advanced to Plozk without seeing an enemy. The head-quarters will advance to-day to Ro gotworsk, after the celebration of Te Dents, in honour of the Emperor's birth-day ; and to-morrow the army will probably reach the banks of the Vistula.—Prussian State Gazette. Letters from Warsaw, of July 7, say—Not the slightest evidence of the pretended conspiracy has been clearly traced. All the persons arrested seem more or less innocent ; the most deeply implicated is General Salazki, a man above 60 years of age, wLose correspondence shows discontent with the new order of things—which disturbed him in his tranquillity, and his numerous connections with Russian Generals. From the papers of others of the accused, it appears that they are much better patriots than was to be imagined from their outward conduct. The denunciation has heated people's minds, and some turbulent spirits, of whom we have but few, would willingly make a great noise about it. The first cannon-shot will draw away everybody's attention from it. It is likely to fare but badly with General Jankowski, as it appears that he left unexecuted three orders that were successively sent him. . It is said that the Russian army is again approaching Flock, so that a battle may be expected soon to take place. We are prepared for everything. The Warsaw State Gazette says, " That the cholera has manifested itself with extreme violence in the Russian army about Pultusk ; the sick are not taken into the city, but to the camp hospitals ; as the dead are buried near the camp, the air is infected by noxious exhalations ; the town itself is not free, and the inhabitants have, at their own expense, fitted up several houses for the reception of the cholera p a tien ts." LETTER FROM VIENNA, JULY 6.—The progress of the cholera excites great apprehension that it may make its way to this city, notwithstanding the precautions taken by our Government. A cordon has been establish.d on the frontiers of Hungary and Germany ; and letters re ceived to-day from Pesth were pierced through and fumi gated. Pesth was surrounded by a cordon, and every person who arrives there must perform three days' quaran tine at the gates. The Archduke Palatine brought his family to Vienna, but returned to Pesth immediately. In case the cholera should find ifs way into our city, the Court and the Foreign Ministers will go to Saltzburgli. Letters from Philipopolis of 17th June, announce that the Sultan arrived at Adrianople on the 14th, and was engaged in the organisation of his trovs, the numbers of which bad been considerably increased by fresh recruits. KONIGSBURG, JULY S.—Private accounts from Schmalenettken say, that. on the sth of July a continued cannonade was again beard, and it was apprehended that the Polish corps of General Gielgud, closely pressed by the corps of Count Tolstoi and Gen. Rennenhanoff, would not be able much longer to resist the superiority of force. The fear that the Poles may pass the Prussian frontiers will be removed by the march of a regiment of infantry, with a division of artillery and cavalry ft ow Konigsburg. On the Ist the cannonade was not heard, and it is there fire conjectured that the corps of General Gielgud has fought its way through to Lithuania. The latest accounts front Wilms sty, that that city is now perfectly safe—the insurgents having withdrawn, and the communications are now free on all sides. ST. PETERSBURGII BULLETIN, JULY 2.—From the beginning of the disorder to 30th June, there were 29 cases of cholera, of which 14 proved fatal ; there re mained therefore on the 30th, in the morning 13. Thirty new cases, 15 cured ; deaths, 10 ; recovering, 1. On the Ist July there remained, therefore, 19 ; of whom four were likely to recover.—Humbitry Papers, July 16. HAMBURG, JULY 15.—We have not received any late intelligence from Warsaw. The acc unto of the death of Gielgutl and the capture of Wilita therefore remain un confirmed, but also uncontradicted, the Prussian State Gazette not having hitherto taken further notice of the report. . . . _ A Russian report, inserted in the State Gazette, men tions that the head-quarters of Marshal Paskewitch had been removed from Pultusk to Rzewin.

But while the Russians had broken up from with the main part of their force, to attack Gr. feral Githzud at Kowno, General Dembinski, who wa , ictalg on the other side of the Wilia, is said to have at_ tacked Vilna on the northern side, and to have taken the :dare after' a sanguinary engigement. General Turno has taken Sierock, whore 50 Russian troopers fell into his bands its prisoners. In the palatinate of Pluck the Russian positions stretch along the banks of the \\lra, and patroling parties are sometimes even sent nut beyond that river. The insurrection in Volbynia is said to hove ac quired fresh strength, and a Russian detachment sent to operate against the insurgents, appears to have been re pulsed by them. During the night of the 29th ult. several Russian prisoners, at large upon their parole, disappeared from Czenstochau ; among them are,—Alexander Butur lin, Aide-de-Camp to the Etnper r ; Sokolow, Colonel of Artillery; Owczarski and Lervski, Majors of Infantry; and Zawarow, civil employe.:.

Stahl, sailed from the quarantine st ition at Tra vemunde this afternoon, after having taken in a supply of coals and provisions, which had to he taken down in lighters. The delay that has taken place has been owing to the strong easterly and north-easterly winds which blew on the 9th, 10th, and I I th, is consequence of which the lighters were unable to get out to the steamer. The vessel, it is supposed, will proceed to a Swedish quiran tine port. Two ladies have joined their relations, who had come from St. Petersburgh as passengers. Passengers and crew are all well. Accounts from Cracow state that General ChlopV.d's wounds have broken out afre4h, which has obliged him to delay for some time his departure for the army. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT OF THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Earl of ELDON presented two petitions from pa rishes in Galway, praying the extension of the elective franchise to the Catholics. Lord MokrEnt brought up the Manchester and Shef field Railway Bill, and several private Bills. MR. WELLESLEY. The LORD CHANCELLOR— My Lords, in a mat ter touching the privileges of this House, in its most important functions, which from the best of motives I have refrained stating to your Lordship until now, but finding these motives not duly appreciated, I take the first opportunity of calling on your Lordships to uphol.l the dignity and vindicate the orders of this House. My Lords, you had a case before you the Session before last, in which you made an ()vier, affirming a decree solemnly pronounced by the Noble Earl now in this House, who then filled the high station which I have now the honour to hold. The purport of that judgment was to this effect :—lt was a question respecting the custody of the children of a suitor of this Court. It was expressly ordered that William Pole Tilney Long Wel lesley, and all other persons, he restrained from removing or attempting to remove the said infants from the custody of the Misses Long without the permission of this Court. That decision, my Lords, was affirmed unanimously by this House. My Lords, notwithstanding that order of the Court of Chancery was made an order of this House, the party, in breach of that order, by force and fraud, com bined, in the absence of the Misses Long, with the forcible interposition of four persons, armed with ba tons, pretending to be those of the police, using them before the servants of the Misses Long, and the party ' himself committing an assault in law by menacingly holding up his fist, obtained possession of the infant and carried her away. Instantly on my hearing this, I sent my officer to the house of Mr. Long Wel lesly, desiring him to bring the child back with him. On the return of the officer he informed me the child was gone. The gentleman himself attended me, confessed the fraud, the force, and the assault, and that he had carried off the infant, in disobedience of the order of Chancery and this [louse. He said, besides, that he should keep pos session of the infant, and refused to deliver her, adding, which, my Lords, I consider the grossest of conternpts, that he had taken steps to remove the infant beyond the jurisdiction of the Court. My Lords, for this I committed him to the custody of the Serjeant-at-Arms. I hesitated not one moment in doing so, feeling confident that if I did I should be unworthy of a seat in your Lordships' House, and should have subjected mystlf to impeachment. My Lords, an attempt is being made on tke part of this individual to plead the pri vileges of a Member of Parliament. If it is to be said that all the Members of both Houses are exempt from the law of the land, and may become the breakers of that very law of which they are the makers, it would be much better that the whole law, common and statute, should be repealed, than such a state of things should exist. My Lords, I admit that there is an exemption from process ; but this is not process but punishment; and I con sidered myself, however, bound to commit this unfortunate gentleman, who acted wrongly, probably 'rum amiable feelings, but who did that wrong in a wrong manner. I committed him to rrison, not to compel him to give up the child, but to punish him for what he had done. The offence, my Lords, is indictable as a breach of the peace. No man is indictable for a contempt of Court, but he is punishable. And I have yet to learn, my Lords, and perhaps I may be told by those Noble Lords who have their heads full of the forms of Parliament, but have forgotten law and equity—that the Court of Chancery can be set at defiance, and the orders of this House disobeyed by any man pleading the privileges of Parliament. If such were to be the case, every Court of Justice would would be open to every man sitting in Parliament, who chooses to come and interrupt the Court by a long, abu sive, and inflammatory speech. My Lords, I never in my lite heard such a pretence set up; and I am sure I am ore I am fighting a shadow when I express a douht • f our Lordships' suppcuting the dignity of your own House Ind the vindication of your own orders.—(Hear ) The LORI) CHANCELLOR then introduced his Bit the al,mition of the Scotch Exchequer Court. !I aid that probably many of their Lordships were no , !ware of the constitution of that Guirt, and in their nwo •ninds rnifgh6 consider it similar to the one in West oinster II dl. The Scotch Courts could not, by a fiction • - n the practise of the law, take common causes as 'hey do in this country, and so little other 'mines , 'iad they, that one B run was found quite sufficient t, (lc that business by sitting one day in the week throughout the year. By returns made to them, it appeared that for a year md three months, only (we defended cause had taken dace in this Court. It had occurred to Government gra dually to abolish the Court altogether, and the way they proposed to carry the measure into effect was, as vacancies occurred, nut to fill them up. The Chief Baron has it right to his wiring penson, only at the end of fifteen years' service, and the Puisne Barons also after a definite aerind of service. One of the principal clauses of this Bill was to enable the Crown to uffer those retiring pen sines, dispensing with the allotted period of the service, and of the Chief Baron should take advantage of this Act and retire, we propose that the business be done by the Puisne Barons, and so, if the Puisne Barons should also retie. We propose to throw the business into the hands of Ole-Judges. The LORD CHANCELLOR was sorry again to trouble their Lordships, but in justice to an individual he felt himself called on to sry a few words.

On the SPEAKER taking his seat several new Members were introduced and sworn in, among whom was Mr. Crompton, Solicitor• General for Ireland. Mr. lamb brought up some returns of the population. Mr. W. WI NN objected to the time that was chosen to lay those returns before the House ; they ought to have been presented earlier, so that every Member might have had a copy. The SPEAKER said a few words, which were inaudible in the gallery, and the subject dropped. The SPEAKER acquainted the House that Sir Robert Gunning had failed to enter into the necessary recogniz ances to prosecute his petition against the return for North ampton. The order was then discharged. At the Suggestion of Lord STAN LEV, Lord MOB YETII postponed his motion of which he had given notice, rela tive to the proceedings of Private Committees from to morrow until Monday. On the motion of Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, the House resolved itself into a Committee on Trower's Divorce Bill. That occasioned some discussion, in which several Members, including Mr. Hume, Alderman Thompson, and Lord G. Osborne took part. Mr. HUME strongly reprobated the manner in which Divorce Bills were smuggled through the House, but said that he would not oppose this Bill, be cause it would be punishing an individual for the evils of a system.—(Hear.) He should however on future Occasion oppose every Bill of this kind, and that would perhaps have the effect of inducing his Majesty's Ministers to introduce some remedy. On the motion of Lord Monewrit, the Sheffield and Manchester Rail-road Bill was read a third time and passed. Col. EVANS gave notice, that to-morrow he would move that an address be presented to his Majesty, praying him to lay before the House copies of the indictment against Mr. and Mrs. Deacle, (who recovered damages a few days a, , ta against Mr. Bingham Baring and others at the Hamp shire Assizes), of the record, and of the Judge's notes. Mr. BURGESS presented a petition from the freemen of Hyde (we believe) against such parts of the Reform 8111 as affected their rights, Mr. D. W. HARVEY presented two petitions, one from the borough of Aldborough (the first in Schedule A), the other from Harwich, in favour of the Reform Bill, which were read, and ordered to he printed. The Hon. Member then moved for a return of the amount that was in the hands of the Treasurer ;o Queen Anne's bounty at the time of his decease, and whether the security he gave wa s applicable to the ►e-payment of that balance; also a return of the number of cases (and the names of parties) in which the Crown bad a dministered to the estates of testator having no heirs since the year 1800, the nature of the property, and what proceedings had been taken thereon in the courts of law. Mr. JEPHSON presented a petition from the borough of Mallow, in Ireland, in favour of the Reform Bill ; a peti tion from the parish of Witcliurch, in the county of the city o f Cork, prayinc , that a fund might be made appli cable to support the aged and infirm, and thereby afford employment to the poor, and that that fund might be raised out of church property, and a tax upon absen tees. The Hon. Member also presented petitions from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of the parish of Cburchtown and other parishes in the diocese of Cloyne against the grant to to the Kildare-street Society. Nlr. MINI' presented a petition from some place in Lancashire praying or annual Parliaments, universal suffrage, vote by ballot, and a repeal of the Corn Laws. The Hon. Member also presented a petition horn the in habitants of Stockport, for universal suffrage and annual Parliaments. Captain GORDON presented a petition from the shipowners of Dundalk, against the tax on marine ins urances . Also a petition from Glasgow and its neigh bourhood, amongst whom were twenty-eight ministers, one hundred and eleven elders, and a number of other subscribers of respectability, against the grant by Govern ment to Miynooth College. s, g i 3p a e t l A T e t: i i t i l r r a ' a e . . h i n n l d i e do cto Y petitionbeing read, O'CONNELL asked wh e th er i ts gross and unmiti gated describing the Ro man C at h o li c re li g i on indecency and anti-christi an system, " was re that House, and whether it sh ou ld b e rece i ve d . FERGUSSON rejoiced that there were now few who would put their names to a petition like the present; and he trusted that few would be found in that House to sanction it. In place of withdrawing this grant by Governm ent to the Maynooth Institution no distinction ought to he m ade betw een Protestants and Roman Catholics ; the latter should enjoy every pri.• vileee, and their education as Roman Catholics ought to be protected, subject only to those restrictions of the the o f British subjects. He regretted much that vileges Bill for imparting to them the rights and pri the petition had come from Glasgow ; it was, he felt ass ured inconsistent with all that was liberal, enlightened, and charitable in that part of the country. Lord MILTON was anxious to make peace between the different parties rather than to enter into those feelings of i n dignation which had already been expressed. He would beseech the Hon. Member (Capt. G.) to give the petition his most sober and Christian consideration, and vipu ld entreat him to consider whether the expressions it contained were not a great deal more consistent with Sectarian zeal than with Christian charity.— I t would not conduce to the peace, either civil or reli gious, of the country, to encourage the promulgation of sec tarian opinions. Mr. DIXON sail that he participated in the feelings which had been expressed regarding the petition by t h e Noble Lord (Milton) who had just sat dowo. and he would take the sense of the House, whether the petition should be brought up. Sir GEORGE CLARKE said it would be the first t i me that Howe had ever been called upon to reject a petition merely because the individuals differed ur n speculative opinions with the great majority of that House. After a few words from Mr. CRESSETT PELHAM and Sir R. INGus, Dir. O'CONNELL said he put the whole matter upon t h e question, whenever it was expresse.t respectfully to that /louse . Would it be civil and respectful to address him, a nd say that his religion was complete idolatry. It was as little idolatrous as the religion of the li o n. Member for Oxford, and ought to he respected as much in that House. It was the religion of at least one-third of the British empire, and was it therefore respectful to upwards of three-fourths of the Christian inhabitants of the empire, to call them idolaters? Would it not be disrespectful in a Roman Catholic to call a protestant a heretie•? He considered the grant to the Roman Catholic College of jilaynooth as legitimate a sub- Lord ALTHORP regretted as much as any man could regret the language that hal been used by the peti tioners ; t i ut he had always laid it down as a rule that it petitions were respectfully worded, they ought to be re ceived. When petitions contained language reflecting upon individuals, or upon any sect or party (which this petition certainly did), he thought it perfectly right that such a' lvtition ought to go no further than merely to be laid on the table. He (Lord Althorp) would therefore give his sanction to the petitions being laid on the table, but he should certainly object to its being printed, should the Hon. Member propose that it should be printed. Mr. WYSE said that he should object to any course of rejection being taken on this occasion, which might hereafter prove to be a precedent. The times were too free and enliglatned to regard whatever might be said by any person or persons respecting their religious tene's. He thought it quite right that every individual's opinion should he received in that House, when it is presented to the House in respectful language, therefore he hoped the peti tions would rot only be received, but be printed. If the House attempted in this instance to controul the expres sion of spinion, there was n s knowing where the conse quences would end. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL hoped the House would recollect that a few nights ago a petition was rejected, presented, he believed, by the Hon. Member for Preston. ftotn Stockport, which certainly was worded in much more respectful terms than was the present petitior. Lord'IANDEVILLE considered that, constituted as the House and society now were, this pe-ition con'd not safely he rejected. Lie for one, as a Protestant, could certainly not give his supp-rt to this grant, which was to be made for the purpose of disseminating principles that he in his conscience believed to be erroneous. Mr. KENNEDY regretted that individuals, to re spectable Ministers of religion, and men of education. should express such opinions as these petitioners had, and object to the grant at a time when the Protestant inha bitants of Ireland had so misconducted themselves. He deeply lamented the annual scenes which took place in Ireland produced by the Orange Protestants, from which the most calamitous results mowed, and he also lamented that individuals should be found to hurry the people on to such conduct He was led to make these remarks front having been absent during the di.cu,s'o of last night upon this subject, to which he intended on some future occasion to call the serious attention of this House. After a few words from Mr. LEFILOY, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT said the question was not whether the grant should he voted or not ; but whether the petition should be received. The petition had evi dently calumniated the religion of a large namt•er of persons, and it was impossible hut to believe that thrt in;ult had been intended. The Hon. Baronet then ob served that he had a petition, which he intended to pre sent on the first opportunity, from the Rev. R. Taylor, who was under a severe sentenco in Horsemonger• lane for uttering words insulting to our religion, and if the facts in it were ture, they would require the serious Interposition of the House. The Hon. Baronet suggested that the petition should be withdrawn. The petition was read and laid on the table. Captain GORDON rose to move the printing of the petition, and was speaking when our Reporter left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Edward Pagriell and Elizabeth Smith were brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having vio lently assaulted a chimney-sweeper, named Peter Lincon. Although the defendants were in the fruit line, they looked, in.consequence of having come frequently in contact with the chimney-sweeper, as if they had just followed him down a flue. A parish constable stated, that he had been called into a house in Angel-alley, to quell a row, at four iu the looming, and he found the defendants pum melling the chimney-sweeper in a very unpleasant sort of a way, for one of them was bleeding him over the shins with a leg of a chair, while the other bumped his face against the ground. The chimney sweeper had evidently made a desperate resistance, for the room was in a complete cloud of soot, and it was impossible to say which of the three was blackest. The chimney-sweeper said, that he had been drinking a small quantity of ale at a new beer•house, the proprietor of which had turned out the defend ants, who bad lived together " promiscuous," for bad conduct. Somehow the ale got in his head, and instead of going to his own apartment, which was in the cellar, be went up stairs, and didn't know where he was, until the defendants fell upon him. His only chance of escaping was by raising a dust, and he accordingly " shaked his togs to give the feller and his pal a bit of a smother."—(Loud laughter.) The officers stated, that cries of murder, some times in earnest and sometimes in lark, often issued from the house in which the three offending persons resided, and the neighbours hoped that an example would be made in the present instance. The LORD MAYOR ordered the three customers to find bail. The circumstances, and the mariner in which they were detailed, caused great merriment. MAR YLEB ONE. On Saturday Mr. Williams, an elderly personage, his eyes encased in a pair of silver-mounted concaves, and possessing that perpendicular air which a military life alone can bestow— " He looked like a warrior on his half pay"— was charged before Mr. llostuNs and Mr. GRIFFITH with shaking his fist within one inch and a half of the most prominent feature in the physiognomy of Mr. Jeffries, bonnet-maker and straw-plat-twister. Mr. Jeffries stated that on Thursday evening last he heard very high words, uttered in a gruff voice— " a very gruff one indeed"—outside the door, and, sallying forth to ascertain the cause, found it was that of Mr. Williams, his next-door neighbour, abusing one of his young women in most unadmea sured phrases. He inquired why he so abused his pretty little maid-of-all-work; whereupon Mr. Wil liams told him he was "a warrior and a gentleman," said he had served his King and country, and shook his fist so near his nose that he could feel the quick motion of the air caused by the rapid motion of the hand of the " warrior and gentleman," as it swung past its point. Mr. Williams, being called on for his de`enee, began as follows :—" I became nearly blind in the service of my country. On Thursday last I received my half-pay, and met with two or three old war riors like myself. We had a glass together, perhaps a glass too much. But never mind, when old war riors meet together, and sit down to call back their recollections of many a hard-fought field, 'tis hard to part 'ern /. Well, when I came home, Mrs. Wil liams and I had a few words, and this man's servant took the libe,ty of poking her held in to hear what T OWN-HALL. An Irishman, named Driscol, and his wife, were brought before Mr. Ald.rman AN,tiLLY., on , :ay, charged with assaulting and th ea; ening the life of Mr. John Daley, coal-merchant, Tooley-street. Mr. Daley stated that, being poss , *sed of a warehouse in Green•alley, Tooley-ttr-r, he, on Wednesday last, sent a eviwity of coa!r to In de posited there ; most untottunateiy, AP ette of the wagons was backing into 'he alley, there no being room to turn, a child of ti.e de(end:ittis' fr 11 tin(!er the wheel and \vas crushed to ;les; h ; at esii. time he was distant riesrly a mile. Tue ftTnwit,i ;I.,ty en inqueNt was held, befcere Mr. Payt , c, Coroner, and there being no evidence itripivii.g !!: , ..me to the carman, the Jury rdturned a verdict of " At-tide/on! death." Not withstanding which, and the tiitarre lie (Mr. Daley) was from o,e spot at the time, the defendants ignuran:ly considered him the aut!mr of the calamity, and had ever since assailed him in the streets with the name of " Murderer," tlirea , ening to set fire to his house, end bare blond for bhutd, by taking his life. On Friday Croy proceeded from words to actions, pelted him from head to foot with mud, and forced him to seek shelter in a public house in 'Thomas's-street. Mr. Daley added that, with the knowledge he had of the tenacity with which the lower class of Irish cling to the must mis taken notions, he was warranted in considering his life in danger. Mr. Taylor, landlord of the White Hart,Thorra:'s street, said that when Mr. Daley entered the house, his features were scarcely discernible for mud, and th e yell and screams for Yengeence from the mob outside were truly terrific. Alderman AN'SLEY said great allowance must be made for the feelings of the defendant., deprived of heir child in so shocking a trimmer, and every one must pity them; yet, on the other hand, it wa• highly necessary to guard against the eff c•e of false impres,ions in minds so constituted. The worthy Alderman then pointed out to the defendants the inju , tice of considering Mr. Daley the author of a misfortune purely accidental, and the fully of per sisting in conduct which would render them amenable to the laws. The defendants seetned to listen to the Alderman without being convincrd, the tears chasing each other down the mother's cheeks, and both re mained silent, until the Alderman, telling them that unless they promised to desist from further Jgyve sion towards Mr. Daley, it would be his duty to send them to Brixton, they complied and were discharged. THE LATE GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE. His Imperial Highness was the eldest son of the unhappy Emperor Paul, and was born May 8, 1779 9 consequently he completed his 62d year about the period of his dissolution. The Grand Duke was therefore considerably the senior of the reigning Emperor, who is only in his 35th year. His High ness formed a matrimonial alliance, in 1796, with the Princess Julia of Saxe Coburg, sister of the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and his Majesey Leopold 1., King of the Belgians. This union, however, did not turn out as happy as was expected, the diepre sitions of the illustrious couple being in tee highest degree dissimilar, and at length the marriage MIS dissolved in March, 1820, in order to enable the Grand Duke to unite himself to the Countess of Grudzeiska, who, upon her nuptials, was created by the Emperor Alexender Prince-s of Lowicz. Prior to the Polish revolution the Grand Duke chiefly re sided at Warsaw, having been selected to fill the duties of King's representative in Poland in the autumn of 1825. General Diebitach proceeded to Warsaw to notify to his Highness the dissolution of the Emperor Alexander, and his consequent acces sion to the throne of the Czars. The " Forster of the Balkan" returned in a short time to St. Peters burgh, with letters from the Grand Duke, expressive of his resolution to take the first oath of allegiance to his brother Nicholas as Autocrat of all the Russias ; thereby confirming the solemn renuncia tion which he had made on the 24th of January, 1822. The character attributed to the late Viceroy of Poland was that of a despot of the most arbitrary and unbending school. His Highness's notions of subordination and blind submission to military autho rity are said to have been the most exaggerated that any man has entertained in Europe for centuries past, his father, perhaps, alone excepted. His horror of political rights and Constitutions was as ex treme as the incapacity of his intellects to compre hend them. His rigorous exactions about a cotefol mity with his whimsical regulations on the mode of wearing regimentals, were among the peculiarities of his overbearing character. lie has frequently sent officers in arrest for the offence of leaving a single button out of its hole. At the theatetis of St. Petersburgh his principal occupation was to espy the officers of his own regiment of Huleus, and if, through the means of his Flans, he thought he per. ceived, in some remote corner, any of them eras not bound up at all points, in the crirtret conformity with his latest regulations, an Aide-tle-Camp was in stantly despatched to the offender, with orders to place him immediately under arrest. The extreme littleness of mind implied by this petty mode of harraising and tormenting those around him Con etantine evidently inherited from his father. Upon one occasion, when the Grand Duke wes on parade surrounded by a numerous retinue of General Offi cers, he espied a distinguished officer, corn:rending a cavalry regiment, at some distance from him, with his uniform coat unbuttoned. His Highness imme diately called the Colonel forwaid, and, in that rough tone which was peculiar to him, asked him how he dared to appear in his presence in disha bille ? The Colonel expleined *that, not being strictly on duty, and feeling much oppresLed by the heat, he did not think he would have been called to account because his coat was not entirely buttoned up to his neck. This answer raised the Grand Duke's anger to its highest pitch. He stru, k the uefortuinate officer a violent blow on the , ace, and ordered him to prison. To submit to smith a de grading outrage was more than any ni ii, of the Colonel's sensitive feelings could andure, - ens vie following day he terminuted his exi-tene e f'et-ii!rT in a letter which he addressed to a fair Co _ n o ::: r o he was no .egee in the eyes, of the whole army, and . worthy to be allied to ker. ~..,.,,..,._ ~,. , ts . .arsttic..,)o 64 . 4 ( whom he was engaged, that he OCl4rri,*.l 11 been dsh I , ,r
