The following has been furnished to me as a cor-
rect abridgment of the manifesto of the new Empe-
ror of Russia:
Tee Emperor Nichols. Du sunk coder a seriously malady,
ertleb rapidly reached a crisis. As the efforts and incessant
we of the defunct monarch were int:meant:7 directed to
t►e well-being of his subjects, so we, in ascending the here-
ditary theme of the Remise empire and the inseparable
Metes of Poland and Finland, solemnly swear, in the face
of heaven, have any other object in view than the
happiness of the country. Providence, which has destined
as to fulfil this grand mission will direct oar steps, and pre-
test our 'Volts to maintain Ramis at the highest degree of
pewee sod glory, and to accomplish in and by us the
desires sad projects unswervingly entertained by Peter,
Catherine, Alexander, and our late Father. May the seal
and the prayers of our subjects aid as. We now require
and eountand the taking of the oat► to us the heir to the
throne. NICOLAC ALICIANDROWITCII.

It is clear that on the 23rd and 24th of February
there was some serious fighting before Sebastopol,
bet the French and Russian telegrsphio accounts of
the affair are violently conflicting, and probably
neither of them are accurate. It can scarcely be
doubtful that Mentchikors despatch, dated St.
Petersburg, March 8, and Admiral Brunt's dee-
patch, dated Kamiesch, Feb. 24, in to-day's Mossi-
tare, are but different versions of one and the same
story, although the dates do not precisely correspond.
According to Mentchikoff theßussians erected "in the
night of Feb. 21 and 22 a redoubt on the left flank
on the fortifications of Sebastopol," which redoubt
was attacked by the "enemy" with a considerable
force in the night: of Feb. 24 and 25. Admiral
Brost speaks of important works of counter approach
having been effected by the Russians "In the
night of February 22 and 23, on the counter-
fort of the plateau, which runs downwards towards
the small Careening Bay ; " and says that these
works were attacked by the 2nd corps "on the
night of the 23rd and 24th.* So far, there is a simi-
larity in the description of the operations on either
side as to prove to a moral certainty, notwithstand-
lag the trifling discrepancy in dates, that the same
acts are intended to be spoken of. But when we
come to the result, the diversity is startling. The
Russian commander says the French were repulsed
by two regiments with a loss of 600 men, while
the French Admiral reports that the obnoxious
works were taken with great eclat, and that the loss
"is said to be" about 100 wounded. It may pretty
safely be presumed that the loss was greater than it
is " said to be" in the lloniieur despatch, bat we can
scarcely doubt that the works were really taken.
The Bourse was very heavy all to day. The depar-
ture of the Emperor for the Crimea almost immedi-
ately was thought extremely probable. The rent.

BERLIN, Law' 4.
When one considers the close family ties existing
between the reigning dynasties of Russia and Prussia,
it le "sr/ naturel that the intelligence of the death
el the Emperor Nicholas should have caused the
gloom in the circle of the Court of Berlin,
trsarnecessarily throws all political conjectures and
combinations into the background. Naturally
and attached to the reigning hones, the Praseians of all
classes feel the greatest sympathy with the royal
family on the affliction they have soldered, and over-
look for the moment all antagonistic differences
which a abort time ago excited tin public mind.
Immediately miter the receipt of the
announcing the Emperor's deaa, the King=
his brother, the Prince of Prussia, to start at once
for Bt. Petersburg, to convey to the Empress sad
the imperial family their joint expression of sincere
sympathy on their bereavememt, and his Royal
Highness gave, consequently, immediate Medan to
have the carriages packed. Bet in the Prince's

" The nation binds itself to maintain and protect the
