Paul, in fact, dissatisfied with the supineness of Prussia, in the affairs of the neutral league, even talked of marching 80,000 men upon Berlin. Besides this, in the delirium of his arrogant pride, he wished the First Consul to take biro as his adviser in all things, and that this powerful personage . should not make peace with G erman y, n or w ith the cabinets of Piedmont, Rome, Naples, or th e P or t e , ex ttoermbesfelaairdeadrant he ey would not o s t o re t m ha a t in it l w on as g soon ailoyn terms with France, whose poli c y h e h a d so ex ceptingP amicabletl g reatly u re warmly espoused. To these suggestions Count Pahlen added the expression of his uneasiness concerning the safety of the royal family, of whom Paul, it was said, began to harbour suspicions. Alexander acquiesced at length ; but, at the same time exacted from Count Pahlen the most solemn oath, that no attempt should be made against the life of his father ; Count Pahlen swore to every thing desired by this inexperienced youth, who imagined that a sceptre could be wrested from the grasp of an emperor, without depriving him of life. The requisite actors in the scene yet remained to be provided, as Count Pahlen, in conceiving this scheme, deemed it beneath him to take any personal share in its execution. He fixed upon them accordingly, but decided upon only intrusting them, sooner or later, with the part they were destined to perform, according as they, by degrees, acquired his confidence. The brothers Soubow, upstarts raised - by the favour of Catherine, were chosen as the chief instruments of the plot. Count Pallier' only revealed it to them at a late period. Plato.Seubow,, the favourite of Catherine, supple, restless, was worthy of figuring conspicuously in the revolution of a palace. His brother Nicholas, remarkable only for great per sonal strength, was well qualified to play a subordinate part ; Valerien Soubow, a brave and honourable soldier, a friend of the Grand Duke Alexander, deserved, from his merit, to have been excluded from the plot. They had a sister, intimately connected with all the English faction—a friend of Lord Whitworth, the English Am bassador—who inflamed them with zeal for the British policy. Count Pahlen engaged many other accomplices, and brought them to St, Petersburgh, underyarious pre tences, but still without disclosing any thing to them. There was one other individual whom he had summoned to St. Petersburgh, upon whose co-operation he knew he could rely, as well as upon his formidable courage ; this was the famous General Benningsen, a Hanoverian, in the service of Russia, the first officer in the Russian service at that time, and who, at a later period, in 1807, had the honour to check, in Poland, the victorious march of Napoleon, and whose hands, worthy, indeed, of wielding a sword, should never have been sullied by a poinard. Benningsen had retired into the country, dreading the effects of Paul's anger, which he had incurred ; Count Pahlen withdrew him from his retreat, initiated him into the plot, but proposed nothing further to him, if General Benningsen can be credited, than the project of deposing the emperor. Benningsen pledged his word, and kept it with an appalling courage. They resolved, to fix upon some day for the execution of their project, when the regiment of Semenourki, wholly devoted to the Grand Duke Alexander, should be on duty at the Palace Michael. They were obliged to wait. But time pressed, for Paul's malady made rapid progress, became every day more alarming, and placed the interests of the empire, as well as the safety of his , attendants, in greater jeopardy. One day Paul laid hold of the imperturbable Pahlen by the arm, and addressed him in these singular terms;—" Were you at St. Peters burgh in 1762?" (It was in that year that the Em. peror, the father of Paul, was assassinated, to transfer the throne to the Great Catherine.) " Yes," answered Count Pahlen, quite coolly, " I was." "What part did you take in the event of that time?" " That of a subal tern cavalry officer in the ranks of his regiment. I was a witness of, but not an actor in, that catastrophe." " Well," continued Paul, casting a look of distruat, and of accusation at his Minister, " they want to re-enact to-day the revolution of 1762." "1 am aware of it," replied Count Pahlen, without betraying the least emo tion. " I know all the plot; I am a party to it." " What!" exclaimed Paul, are you one of the conspira tors?" " Yes! but to be better apprised of it, and that I may be in a position more effectually to watch over your safety." The calmness of this formidable con spirator quite set all Paul's conjectures at defiance, and disarmed his suspicions respecting him; but he still con tinaed discomposed and excited. An event of almost public interest, if such a term may be employed with reference to such a crime, con curred to hasten their proceeding. Paul ordered dispatch to be written, on the 23d of March, to M. de Krudener, his minister at Berlin, enjoining him to de clare to the court of Prussia, that if she did not promptly act against England, he would promptly order an army of 80,000 men, to march upon the Prussian frontiers. Count Palhen, desirous, without saying too much, to induce M. de Ktudener to attach no importance to this declaration, added, in his own handwriting, the following postscript:—" His Imperial Majesty is labour ing under indisposition to-day; the consequences may prove serious." J 1 The 23d of March was fixed upon for the execution of the plot; Count Pahlen, under colour of giving a dinner party, assembled at his house the Soubowa,- Benningsen, and several general officers, upon whom he thought he could rely. Wines of all kinds were served with profusion. Pahlen and Benningsen did not drink any. When dinner was over they unfolded to the con spirators the project for which they were assembled. The most part were now, for the first time, made acquainted with this terrible plot. They were not told that they would be required to assassinate Paul, as almost every one would have shrunk with dismay from the perpetration of such a crime. They were told that they must proceed to the palace, and compel him to abdicate, that thus they would deliver the empire from an imminent danger, and that they would save a mul titude of innocent lives, at present threatened by the sanguinary madness of Paul. At last, in order to succeed in persuading them, it was affirmed that the Grand Duke Alexauder himself, convinced of the neces sity of saving the empire, was acquainted with the project, and approved it. Then these men, already excited with wine, no longer demurred, and, for the most part, with only three or four exceptions, set out under the impression that they were going to depose a mad emperor, and not to shed the blood of an unfortunate master. The night appearing sufficiently advanced, the con spirators, to .the number of ahont sixty, sallied forth, divided into two bands. Collet Pahlen took one under his direction, General Benningsen the command of the other ; both officers, dressed in their full uniform, and wearing their sashes and orders, marched forward, sword in hand. The palace Michael was constructed and guarded like a fortress ; but the - bridges were lowered,.and the gates thrown open to the chiefs of the conspirators. Benningsen's party marched first, and proceeded direct towards the Emperor's apartments. Count Pahlen remained behind, with his reserved body of conspirators. This man, who had organised the con spiracy, disdained to assist personally is its execution. He was only there to provide for any unexpected emergencies. Benningsen penetrated into the apart ment of the sleeping monarch. Two heyduks were on duty as his body-guard. These brave and faithful attendants attempted to defend their sovereign. One was struck down by a blow from a sabre, the other took flight, crying out for help—cries utterly unavailing in a palace, the guards of Which are almost all accomplices in the plot! A valet, who slept in a room adjoining that of the Emperor, ran to the scene; they compelled him, by force, to open the door of his master's chamber. The unhappy Paul might have found a refuge in the apartments of the Empress ; but, in his dis trustful suspicions, he had taken the precaution, every night, to barricade the door which led to them. All escape being cut off, he flung himself to the bottom of the bed, and concealed himself behind the folds of a screen. Plato Soubow ran to the imperial bed, and, finding it empty, cried out, in alarm, tt The emperor has escaped; we are lost 1" But, at the same instant, Benningsen caught sight of the prince, rushed towards him, sword in hand, and presented to him the act of abdication. " You have ceased to reign 1" he ex claimed to him ; " the Grand Duke Alexander is now emperor. I summon you, in his name, to resign the empire, and to sign this act of abdication. On this con dition alone I answer for your life." Plato Soubow re peated the same summons. The emperor, confused and lost in dismay, demanded of them what he had done to deserve such treatment. " For years past pu have never ceased to persecute us," retorted the half-intoxicated as. sassins. They then pressed upon the unhappy Paul, who struggled hard, expostulated, and implored them in vain. At this moment a noise was heard ; it was the footsteps of some of the conspirators who had remained behind ; but the assassins, believing that some one was coming to the assistance of the emperor, fled in disorder. Benningsen alone, inflexibly resolute, remained in the presence of the monarch, and, advancing towards him, with his sword pointed at his breast, prevented him stir ring from the spot. The conspirators having recognised each other, re-entered the chamber, the theatre of their crime. They again hemmed in the unfortunate monarch, in order to force him to subscribe his abdication. The emperor fur an instant tried to defend himself. In the scuffle the lamp which gave light to the frightful scene was overturned and extinguished ; Benningsen ran to procure another, and, on his retur n, discovered Paul ex. pining under the blow s of two assassins ; one had broken in his skull with the pummel of his sword, whilst the other was strangling him with his sash. Whilst this scene was enacting, Count Pahlen had remained outside with the second band of conspirators. When he was told that all was over, he ordered the body of the emperor to be laid out on the bed, and placed a guard of thirty men at the door of the apartment, with orders not to admit any one, even the members of the imperial family. He then repaired to the Grand Duke, to announce to him the terrible occurrence of the night. rjeorg e This dispatch was shown to the French Ambassador, General J3eunionville, who instantly forwarded theaa par ticulara to his golernment.

GEORGE ROBINS is favoured by the instructions of the Trustees of the late JAMES BARLOW HOY, Esq., to OFFER to PUBLIC COMPETITION, on the PREMISES, on MoNuav, the sth of May, at Twelve o'Clock, punctually (when THE ELEGANT PROPERTY THROUGHOUT THE MANSION is to be sold by public competition,) ONE OF THE MOST ELIGIBLE ESTATES IN THE BEAUTEOUS ENVIRONS OF SOUTHAMPTON. The abode is distinguished from all its contemporaries in public estimation, and may now, from its close approximation to the CHOSEN SEAT OF ROYALTY, claim to he one OF THE MOST IMPORTANT FEATURES IN HER MAJESTY'S DOMINIONS. It was the favourite abode of JAMES BARLOW HOY, ESQ., who for a lengthened period was THE M.P. FOR SOUTHAMPTON; and it is a fact not to be impeached, that If the new purchaser partakes of his hospitality, and be of SOUND POLITICAL CREED. " HE WILL WALK OVER THE COURSE WHENEVER THE NEXT ELECTION ARRIVES." The MANSION is the commanding feature of the vicinity. Thd late lamented proprietor, in its completion, spared no expense, and unequivocal taste is marked throughout, and it will soon be perceived that luxury and splendour are mixed up with a degree of tact, rarely, if ever, approached. The architectural form is very chaste; the front adorned by six lofty pillars, with a paved gallery, leads to the terrace walk, the shrubberies and the plantations. The entree is by a covered approach. Within the Mansion its ad vantages and capability may be summed up in one short sentence— " NOTHING WHATEVER IS LEFT TO BE DESIRED OR IMAGINED." An East Indian seeking for an appropriate residence in which to prolong his days in the enjoyment of his vast acquisitions, with in creasing health, yet with oriental magnificence; or to a member of " THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON," who seeks to unite propinquity to the rendezvous and the comforts of a luxurious home, a residence is here offered combining advantages rarely to be equalled, and certainly nowhere to be surpassed, while the sur rounding scenery is everywhere without a rival in the field. "_ There is nothing left to fancy's guess, You see that all is loveliness." THE PARK AND THE DOMAIN AROUND IT IS 220 ACRES. to which are to be added the pleasure farms and building-ground connected, forming an aggregate of FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ACRES.

An experienced landscape gardener of ac knowledged taste represents this to be the most beautiful situation in the southern part of Hampshire. It is intended to be a positive sale, to which capitalists are invited to become competitors. The estate can be seen only by tickets, to be had of Messrs. H. and R. B.

GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL _L by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 15th of May, at Twelve, by direction of the Mortgagee and Trustees, for absolute sale (the Court of Chancery hating cleared away all difficulty, and cleansed the title from doubt or uncertainty), A SINGULARLY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY, of which historical record traces the creation from the year 1530 as THE BRANDESTON HALL ESTATE. The Hall has invariably been the subject of great admiration— its outward form is meddled in the TASTE AND STYLE OF OUR QUEEN ELIZABETH. is seated on a lawn which approaches THE RIVER DEDEN, AND IS WELL SUPPLIED WITH FISH. Le meandering dream is seen gait!) , gliding through the whole estate, offering occasional relief in dry seasons, and always capable of irrigating the lands. THERE IS AN EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OF FISHING FOR FIVE MILES. THE PARK-LIKE GROUNDS PRETTILY TIMBERED, and beautifully wooded, are scattered around in pleasing negligence, and the Mansion is seated under the fostering wings of the ancient church, its close ally. There are prolific gardens, lawn, and plea. sure.grounds, which will not be the worse for a little tact in restor ing them to their pristine state. Mr. Robins, in pursuing his undeviating course of candour, desires it to be understood that, although a considerable outlay has taken place, much remains to be done, and a lady gifted with tact and judgment would agreeably employ a little of her leisure in decorating the interior. The situation is really very picturesque, and quite beautiful, to which may be appended THE MANORS OF GREAT EXTENT AND PROFIT, MANORIAL RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND IMMUNI TIES, THE ROYALTIES, AND ALL ITS CONSEQUENTIAL ADVANTAGES; independently of which, a court is held annually to receive a con siderable income from the FINES AND QUIT-RENTS, WHICH ARE ARBITRARY. THE VALUABLE FREEHOLD DOMAIN EXTENDS TO SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY-TWO ACRES of first-rate pasture, meadow, corn, and turnip lands, lying in a complete ring -fence, divided into SIX SNUG AND VERY COMPACT LITTLE FARMS, with suitablebuildings and good tenants, who will all bebut too happy to continue at the present low rental. The portion unlet with the Manor House, is 77 acres, including the park and pleasure grounds, woods, and plantations. The annual produce and value will approach FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. The appearance of the estate should be seen to be properly appre ciated ; nothing throughout the country can look better, or prove more authoritatively the superiority of the soil. And . . THE WOODLAND SCENERY is so very beautiful that nothing in the vicinity can be assimilated to it. " Hero verdant pastures wide extended lie, And yield the grazing herd exuberant supply, Luxuriant waving in the wanton air, Here golden grain rewards the peasant's care." The distance from London, although 80 miles, is reduced to a three or four hours' ride by the Eastern Counties Rail road. The markets are everywhere excellent. Lots of brick earth, with a kiln on the property well secluded, indeed the property is so full of advantages, that although Mr. Robins has taxed his in genuity, it has really been in vain to find an opportunity to reduce the slight colouring he has given to the landscape, and he concludes by confidently recommending it as one of the safest investments lit the county.

GEORGE ROBINS is favoured with In structions to negotiate the SALE by PRIVATE TREATY of A LANDED INVESTMENT IN FRANCE, which, from its many and peculiar advantages, both of position, soil, tenure, occupation, and increasing improvement, offers strong temptations to the English capitalist, at the present high price of the funds, to invest with the certainty of 3 per cent. until the year 1860, from which period a very important - augmentation may be relied upon.

It is distant about three miles only from the post town of Chateau Lavaliere, twenty. seven miles from Tours, twenty-two miles from Saumur, fifty-ive miles from Angers, on the right bank of the Loire, being in the department d'lndre et Loire, in the midst of the vine country, IN THE MOST LOVELY PART OF FRANCE, and no;fardistant from the railway from Paris to Nantes: Who Estate comprises 600 HECTARES, OR 1,483 ENGLISH ARES, of rich cultivated land, divided into gardens, meadow, artificial meadow, arable underwead, and streams ; A MANOR-HOUSE OF SOME PRETENSIONS, with court-yard, numerous fsrm.buildings for the improvement of the lands, which with the gardens overspread a surface of more than twenty acres.

This Railway will establish a most desirable line of communication between London, Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the Weat of England, traversing in Its course many wealthy, populous, and Important districts. It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeovil. fly whichmeans the connexion between the East and Wed Coasts of England will be complete. A. further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that by using the line of the South Western Railway from London to Basingstoke, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Metropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about BO miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles. It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ; viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at the same time will most materially aid communication between the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bristol, a most desirable object in a stational point of view. A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that few Railways in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places. By it, Salisbury, Sherborne, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge, Frome. Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, :Whitchurch, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, Ststlbridge, and I lchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each other, rendering the endertaking eminently calculated to promote the convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate cost. The portions yet to bo formed will comprise the country be tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 7G miles (less about 11 miles proposed to bo used of the South Western Railway), and that between Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, making the entire length of the use yet to be constructed no more than 105 miles.

Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Rants, October 26, 1844. . . . . Slr,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the Gout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found In a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of those Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.-1 ours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the Impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec tive for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including sciatica, lumbago, pains in the head and race, frequently treated as tooth-ache, &c. ,They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other vital part.

The following amendment was proposed by the Earl of Winchilsea, and seconded by General Johnson, M.P. : " Resolved—That this meeting most corditilly approves of the system of railways affecting this county, which has been favourably reported upon by the Board of Trade, comprehending the Cambridge and Lincoln, and the continuation by. the Direct Northern from Lin coln to York, together with their branches." Both tile mover and seconder declared that they had no interest in either line, and advocated the Cambridge and Lincoln and Direct Northern Linos solely on public grounds, those lines being best suited to the wants of tke county, and as having been recommended to Par liament by the impartial and unbiassed tribunal—the Board of Trade. The 'amendment was supported by the Earl Fitzwilliam and John COupland, 'Esq., one of . the most extensive corn merchants of Lincolnshire. lipona show of hands the Sheriff declared that he was unable to decide whether the resolution or the amendment was carried in the affirmative, when-a second show of hands.being called for, and:with a similanresult; a division to opposite' sides of the Castle-yard took place, when the Sheriff used the following words :—" I find it difficult to decide; but I think I ant bound to say, that the London and Yerk haft , the ibar rift' . The Committee of Management beg to state that they have ample proof to show before the Committee on the BM that a large number of persons were engaged by parties interested in opposing the Direct Northern and Cambridge and Lincoln Lines, at 2s. and 2s. 6d. each, to hold up their hands against those lines of Railway, and that a con siderable portion of their opponents were from Newark and other parts of Nottinghamsbire, and therefore in uo way entitled to take part in the proceedings of the meeting.

Thiers' " History of the Consulate and Empire of France under Napoleon.") The Russian aristocracy was accordingly highly exasperated with the newly adopted policy of PauL If they had blamed, in this prince, an excess of hatred against France, they found still greater fault with an excess of aftection towards her, especially when this surprising attachment was carried to such an extent, as to adopt steps ruinous to the interests of the landed proprietors. Besides this obnoxious interference with their tastes and their interests, Paul was still further guilty of cruelties, to which, however, he was not na turally addicted, being rather of a good, than of a mis chievous disposition. He had sent a multitude of unhappy wretches to Siberia ; afterwards, affected by their sufferings, he recalled them, but without re-instating them in their property. These unfortunate creatures filled all St. Petersburgh with their complaints, and with their lamentable misery. Annoyed by these spectacles, he exiled them a second time. Becoming every day more and more distrustful, in proportion as the hatred of his subjects became more apparent to him, he threatened the lives of every one around him. He conceived sinister designs against his ministers, some times against his wife and children, and this prince, who was all but mad, assumed habitually the behaviour of a tyrant. He surrounded the palace Michael, which was his usual residence, like a fortress, with bastions and ditches. One would have said, that he seemed to anti cipate a sudden attack. At night, he even barricadoed the door which separated his apartments from those of the Empress, and thus unwittingly predisposed every thing for his tragical end. Such a state of things could not long continue, and must inevitably terminate in some deed of violence, similar to that which, more than once, had been wit nessed in this empire, where, it is true, rapid advances have been made towards civilisation, but where actual barbarism was the point of starting. The idea of getting rid of the unhappy Paul, by the accustomed means, that is to say, by a revolution at the palace, there where the palace is the nation, suggested itself to every mind. Let us set a proper value upon the advantages of insti tutions. At another extremity of Europe, upon one of the greatest thrones of the universe, sat a prince afflicted also with insanity, a headstrong, but pious and good prince, George 111. This king, occasionally deprived of his reason, during whole months, had just experienced a relapse of his malady, at one of the most critical mo ments for England. Nevertheless, the bu'siness of the nation proceeded in the most regular and ordinary course. The constitution providing the king with minis ters, who conduct the government on his behalf, this aberration of the royal mind did not, in any way, pre judice the affairs of the nation. Mr. Pitt held the government for George 111., precisely as he had held it during seventeen years ; the - thought of an atrocious crime never entered into the imagination of any one ! At St. Petersburgh, on the contrary, the spectacle of an insane prince on the throne, gave rise to the most sinister projects. There was at that time, at the Court of Russia, one of those men, dreaded by all, who never shrink from the perpetration of any audacious deed. In a regular govern ment, such men may rise, perhaps, to the station of eminently good citizens, but in a despotic government, they become criminals, if crime is, in certain cases, one of the expedients not actually sanctioned by the Go vernment, but incidental to its administration. Crime must be condemned in every country where it prevails, but we must condemn still more the institutions by which it is engendered. Count Pahlen had served in the Russian army with distinction. He possessed a commanding person, and concealed beneath the rough, and sometimes familiar manner of a soldier, a deep and acute mind. He was en dowed, moreover, with singular audacity, and an imper turbable presence of mind. As Governor of SL Peters burgh, intrusted with the police of the empire, and initiated, thanks to the confidence of his master, into all the great affairs of State, he was, in point of fact, though not by office, the principal personage in the Russian Government. His political opinions respecting the public policy of the country were very decided. The crusade against the French revolution seemed to him as unreasonable, as the new-born zeal against England was intemperate. A prudent reserve, a neu trality skilfully maintained, in the midst of the for midable contest between France and England, appeared to him the only advantageous policy which Russia could pursue. Entertaining neither English nor French views, but being wholly Russian in his opinions, he was also a Russian in his manners, and a Russian such as existed in the days of Peter the Great. Being persuaded that everything was hastening towards ruin, unless the reign of Paul were curtailed, having even conceived some alarm for himself personally, from certain indications of dissatisfaction which had escaped the Emperor, he boldly formed his resolutl.on, and communicated it con fidentially to Count Panim, Vice-Chancellor, who was at the head of foreign affairs. They both were of opinion that it was necessary to terminate this state of things, which had become as alarming for the empire, as for individual safety. Count Pahlen took upon himself the execution of the terrible project upon which they had resolved.* The heir to the throne was the Grand Duke Alexander, of whose reign we have been contemporaries —a young prince, who gave every promise of superior qualities, and who appeared at that time, what he did not prove subsequently, easy to be led. He it was whom Count Pahlen desired to raise to the throne, by some catastrophe brought about suddenly , without dis turbance or confusion. It was indispensably necessary to come to some understanding with the heir, the Grand Duke, to have his concurrence, in order to avoid , after the deed was perpetrated, being treated like a vulgar assassin, who is sacrificed, whilst, at the same time, ad vantage is taken of his crime. It was embarrassing to him to break the matter to this Prince, who, governed by amiable feelings, was incapable of lending his coun tenance to an attempt against the life of his father. * The following details are the most authentic that can be procured concerning the death of I'aul I. This is the source from which they are derived. The Court of Prussia, greatly shocked at the news of the death of Paul 1., was still more highly indignant at the unparalleled effrontery with which some of the accomplices in the crime dared to boast of it at Berlin. The Court obtained, through various channels, and principally from a well-informed person, some curious details, which were collected in a minute, and transmitted to the First Consul. These are the particulars which M. Bigaon, at that time 'Secretary of our Embassy to the Court of Prussia, was enabled to procure, and which he has introduced into his work. But the most private circumstances still re mained unknown, when a singular accident placed France in possession of the only account, worthy of credit, concerning the death of Paul I. which perhaps is in existence. A Fre nch emigrant, who had passed his life in the service of Russia, and who had acquired some military renown, became the friend of Count l'ahlen and General Benningsen. Being at the country-seat of Count Pahlen, he obtained, from their own lips, a circumstantial detail of everything which took place in St. Petersburgh, on the tragical night between the 23d and 24th of March. As the emigrant was very care ful in taking notes of everything he saw and heard, he imme diately committed to paper an account of the particulars given by these principal actors, and inserted it in the valu able memoirs he has left behind him. These manuscript memoirs are now the property of France. They correct nu merous inaccurate or vague statements, and moreover, do not compromise more than they were previously the names in volved in this dark event. 'they furnish, however, more precise and probable details, instead of the false and exagge rated accounts already known. After comparing this report, emanating from a quarter perfectly well-informed, with the details furnished by the Court of Prussia, we have drawn up the historical recital which follows, and which seems to us the only one truly worthy of credit, perhaps the only com -- plete one which posterity will ever obtain of this tragical catastrophe, • including A SPLENDID DRAWING.ROOM SUITE of beautiful fawn colour figured silk, in French curtains, with rich gilt cornices, satinwood sofa, couch, 16 chairs, fautcuilles, otto mans, and card and loo.tables.

Clement, Esq, At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to 25 per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per 'cent. to the Shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the participating scale, one-half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent, for five years, thus enabling a person to insure his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium for 5001. only. The following are the annual Premiums for the Assurance of 1001. for the whole Life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent. ; and should the Policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.
