A general subject of conversation here is, a manifesto or procla-
Ration, which it is said his Majesty the Emperor Constantine I.
will issue immediately on his arrival at St. Petersbur,gli, hut which
has been drawn up at Warsaw, and confidentially communicated
to our Court, on account of the family alliance between the two
Courts.
Ilia Imperial Majesty, it is said, declares In his Proclamation,
that lie is firmly resolved to maintain in every respect the conser-
vatory principles which form the foundation of the present poli-
tical sydeni, and especially the bssisof that Holy Alliance, of which
his predecessor and brother was the principal founder. It is flintier
asserted that the new Emperor has declared that the direction of
the external affairs of Russia, as well as that of the internal aßkirs
of the empire, was, according to his conviction, founded on °bier-
vation, committed to the most able hands, that he did not see the
least reason to make any change in the persons intruded with it.
In short, the apprehensions caused by the first alarm, especially
on 'Change, have given place to a general opinion that great as the
loss is, which Europe has sustained by the death of Alexander, this
unhappy event will not cause any change in the relations of Russia
to tile other States, its allies, but that the statu quo will be fully
maintained.— Vusembere Correspondent, Orr. '214.

The attack of the gout with which the Lord Chancellor
has been for some time afflicted is the most severe he has
had for eight years. His Lordship cannot move without
assistance ; his knees are the parts principally afti:cted.
We are happy to hear that Mrs. Webster, whose claim
on the Duke of Northumberland has latterly excited so
much public attention, waited on the Lord Mayor on Sa-
turday, and stated that an annuity of 301. per annum had
been settled on her by the Noble Duke, and that it would
be sufficient to enable her to support herself.--Sanday

RP% • At. BON MOT.—There is abroad a Royal hon-mot,
which, strange to say, has not found its way into the
newspapers. The King, on hearing some one declare that
Moore had murdered Sheridan. observed, " I wcts't say
that Mr. Moore has merrdered Sheridan, but he has err

REPORTED DEATH or Mn. ULM 14TO N.—SO far from
there being any foundation for this report, letters M ere on
Friday morning received from the Hon. Member himself,
at Lambton Hall, announcing that hc, accompanied by
Lady Louisa Lambton, world be at his house in Cieve-
land.row to-morrow. A letter was also received from his
steward on Saturday morning, directing the town house-
keeper to forward letters to Catley, near Doncaster, to
which place Mr. Lambton had proceeded from Durham on
Thursday morning. The children and family are ex-
pected in Clevelaml-tow to-day. About a month ago Mr.
Lambton was indisposed, but he has since quite recovered.
