The Volksthing has unanimously passed a bill to
impeach all the former Ministers, and has directed
proceedings to commence immediately. The Cham-
ber has also definitively rejected the non authorised
expenses of the war budget of 1854. Consequently,

much, and from that period the fever increased
every hour, and at last the paraly-is of the lungs
came on.
A new circular note by Count Nesselrode has
been sent to the Russian Ministers at the several
Courts of Europe. If the telegraphic accounts of
this document are to be relied on, the Chancellor
declares the mission of the new Emperor to be
" the preservation of the integrity of the empire, and
especially the restoration of peace to Russia and the
world."
The great forced recruiting was effected with ex-
treme rigour throughout Russian Poland in the night
of the 12th and 13th.
According to Russian accounts the number of their
troops now in the Crimea amounts to 170,000 men.
The ammunition waggons which carry stores from
Perekop to Baktchi Serai have twice broken up the
road which crosses the large marshes of Perekop.
The disgrace of Prince Menschikoff is more com-
plete than was signified in the first accounts from
St. Petersburg. An order of the day dated the 4th
instant, removes him, under the form of accepting
his resignation, not only from the command in the
Crimea, but from the post of Chief of the Naval Staff;
and from the Governor-Generalship of Finland. He
retains only the titular appointments of Aide-de.

The Emperor of Russia has addressed the following
rescript to the Cossack troops of the Don :
To our well-beloved and faithful army of Cossacks of the
Don.— The cruel loss which has just fallen on Russia in
such an unlooked-for manner will be painfully felt by the
grateful hearts of the Cossacks of the Don. In his constant
kindness to them, my well-beloved father had granted them
an organic regulation which completely secured their wel-
fare. Only a short time ago, the Emperor Nicholas I. de-
clared that he loved his valiant children of the Don, and
that he was proud of them. In proof of these sentiments his
Majesty frequently appeared before the ranks of his faithful
army in the uniform of a Cossack of the Don. Wishing to
manifest to these troops our gratitude for their faithful and
glorious services. we make them a present of the uniform
which was worn by the Emperor. Let it be preserved
among the insignia of the army of the Cossacks of the Don,
and remain in its treasury as a sacred relic and an im-
perishable souvenir for generations to come.
ALEXANDER.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the Bth, says :
The body of the late Emperor has been for some day
lying on a state bed at the Winter Palace, and the public
have been admitted at certain hours to see it. The body is
in the room of the Grand Duchess Olga. The embalmment
took place under the direction of Professors Schultz and
Gruber, members of the Academy of Medicine and Surgery.
Since Tuesday the body of the Emperor has been covered
with a large pall, edged with gold, which envelopes the
whole and covers the face. The decoration of the room is
very simple. Three priests stand near the bed, and say
mass alternately. The crowd who go to see the body is
immense. They are only allowed to stop a few minutes in
the room, and then pass on. Every Russian kneels near
the coffin, makes the sign of the cross, and kisses the
covering over the body.
