LAST DAYS OF THE LATE EMPEROR
ALEXANDER.

[From the llattiburgh Papers.l
BERLIN, DEC. 13

Early this morning an extrordinary courier arrived at the Fo-
reign-office, with the news of the unexpected death of his Majesty
the Emperor of Russia, on his way back from Taganrog to St.
Petershurgh. The dismay and the grief which this deeply la-
mented event has universally excited. is the most speaking proof
of the greatness and importance of the loss, which not only
Russia, but Europe, has sustained. More particular accounts
are impatiently expected. The restoration and the maintansance
of peace in our part of the world was Alexander's work ; and,
as the genius of peace (as nit ingenious artist once represented
him) lie has been extolled by 11;a contemporaries, and will be
I gratefully remembered by posterity.
