rumour lately current respecting the health of his late
Majesty. The body was subsequently embalmed.
The Einper h" Alexandra HI., and the Czarina, on
driving to the Palace Tuesday afternoon, were sur-
rounded by an immense and deeply sympathetic crowd,
the peiple pressing so thickly round the carriage as to
compel it to move only at a walking pace. Fervent
exclamations of sympathy in their bereavement, and
expressions of deep veneration for the murdered
Emperor were showered %sin their Majesties SS the
carriage passed along. The only member of the
Imperial family who was with the late Emperor at
the time of the explosion was the Grand Duke
' Michael, as the Czarewitch had returned direct from
the parade if the Aritschkoff Palace. The name of
. the individual now in custody who threw the first
, bomb is officially declared to be Ihnusakoff. The

ing to the bour,...mis class, began hie education at the
, Vuitegorsk district loch, nil, proceeding subsequently to
the Tcherepovets school. In 1h79 he entered the
I Mining Institute. Of the eighteen persons who were
i wounded by the ext.!, sion of the bombs, two have since
, died. The tux Cox/tacks forming part of the Imperial
i escort were all wounded, and ono has mince died.
Three peasambi, a marine etibaltern, Colonel

r Emperor, a cavalry captain, and a soldier's wife Were
r also wounded.

MANIFESTO BY THE CZAR.

Sy. PErzieseutut, Fmtvvr.—A circular despatch has
been addresseA to the Russian representatives abroad,
in which it is stated the Emperor, on ascending the
throne of his ancestors, makes it a sacred duty to
deliver it inviolate to his successors. Russia has now
attained her full development., and it only remained
for her to protect herself- from without and to develop
her forces and wealth to the well iv-ing of her people.
The Emperor will first give attention to the internal
development of the State. The foreign policy will be
entirely pacific. Russia will remain faithful to her
friends, while maintaining the po.ition to which she
is entitled among the Powers, and assuring the
maintenance of the political equilibrium. In accord-
ance with her interests, Russia will not deviate from
the mission in common with the other Governments
to protect the general peace, based on respect for
rights and treaties. The Emperor will endeavour to
strengthen the power and advance the welfare of
Russia without detriment to others. His Majesty
charges the represe..tatives to bring these declarations
to the knowledge of the Governments to which they
are accredited.

THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE EMPEROR.
ST. PETRICiIIUIte, SATCRIIIT.—The ceremonial trans- '
portation of the remains of the late Emperor from the
Winter Palace to the church attached to the Fortress
of SS. Peter and Paul wan conducted this morning
with great ;snap. The funeral ceetele left the grand
central gate of the Palace at half-past eleven punc-
tually. First in the procession came the horses of the
deceased monarch, and these were followed by officers
of the court bearing his siel,srations, 75 in number, 57
being foreign and nine Russian Orders. Then came
snore functionaries, carrying the late Emperor's nine
crowns, the last in order being the Imperial Crown of
Russia. Next appeared a body of choristers and
clergy, the latter attired in vestments of black velvet,
embroidered with silver, and after them the funeral
car, which was richly ornamented with gold, and
1 drawn by eight magnificently caparisoned horses. The
corners of the pall were held by the four oldest
Generals of the Army. Immediately behind the car
walked the Emperor Alexander 111. followed in due
enter by the Grand Dukes in full uniform, the
Ministers of the Court. the Minister of War, and the
' Aides-de-Camp to the Grand Dukes. Next, on horse-
back, came the foreign princes and the Grenadiers of
the Palace. A procession of carriages, each drawn by
six horses, then followed; the first, containing the
Empress. with her children, and the Grand Duchess
Vladimir; the second, the Grand Duchwwes Constan-
tine, Michael, and Catherine, and the Duchess of
Edinburgh; and a third, the other princesses. The
cortege passed through the small Palace 'square, along
the Admir shy Quay and English Quay, over the
Nicolas-brisl.se, and thence past the first Vassili-Ostrov
line, and over the Toutehkoff-bridge to the Fortress,
which was reached in half an hour. Nothing occurred
to di•tnrh the solemn tranquillity of the proceedings.
The Centnon Council have accepted the proposal
made by General Loris Melikoff ins letter to the Town
Commandant for building a church on the spot where
the late Emperor was assassinated. It is also intended
to have a medal struck in commemoration of the
catastrophe.
