The Globe and Traveller contains news from Benseiii, dated 10th
Illeptember, which continue to announce disadvantages sustained be
the Europeans. The particular interest which we must take in
whatever passes in that country, authorises us to publish the at-
eenntll that arrive from it ; whatever they may be. whether true.
t..lse. or exaggerated, it is indispensable necessary that our met.
c^ ants should-he acquainted with them, that they may be informed
a' the state of things, and if it be really so hail, not become the vic-
tims of the security in which the journals leave them. (Here fol-
law :he extract • from the Glok and Traveller.)
A person who is In constant correspondence with Batavia has
communicated to us the following note t—" As the last accounts
sae.—• We do not know what reason to ascribe for the revolt it
seems tome that it will be interesting to the public to know that
bulletins have been found. apparently circulated by, the Bears ins.
which it is said that dteit prophet Maltomet will soon appear,
and that consequently Christianity ought to be annihilated.
This prediction 'ems to have caused a great number of the lower
c,assea to revolt; but they will soon see the imposture of their
p- ells. and the Government will take measures to put a atop to
ice :roubles." Messrs. P. and S. add in a postscript : "We are,
to fact. informed, that Capt. Schniek found the tablets of a Malay

Mahomet is arrived—the destruction of Christianity is at hand.' "

'noir THE PRUSSIAN FSONTICRS. JAN. 11..

The tunseituoussiene; at $t Petersburgb, Wtthe:Kb, on the
taking the train to the Emperor Nicholas I. hare been described. on
the whole. so correctly and circumstantially in the Deeds State
Gault', that the novelty-loving public should at length cease cry-
ing. like the boys in the streets of London during the Revolution,
" more bloody news." Nearly six hours were spent in parleying
Pub mutinous troops, who were inflamed with brandy t and
marching from distant barracks with drums beating and colours
flyMg, into the square of the Palace, had drawn together a great,
concourse of people, and having formed a square, placed in the
centre of It their nffiars, and some other agitators in civil costume.
It was not till all means of persuasion had been exhausted that
they were fired upon with grape shot, and the horse guards ordered
to charge. General Illiloradowitch was shot before the front, as he
was mounting his horse; the voice of the Archimandrite, who ap-
peared with the crucifix, was drowned in the uproar, and Incessant
cries of" Let the Grand Duke Nicholas live, but let the Emperor,
Constantine reign," were uttered by the continually-increasing
multitude. Some of the artillerymen at the eight guns which had
been brought up were wounded by the rebels- The new Emperor
repeatedly exposing himself to the greatest dangers, had atteniptid
to overcome the obstinacy of the tr.utineers, and to convince them
of their error, in fancying that the renunciation of Constantine was
a Ection, till at length a discharge of grape shot killed some
hundreds of them. About forty officers are arrested and confined
the fortress, among whom there are certainly young men of the
oldest houses. " lie shall live," wrote the Emperor himself, to
the wife of one of them most deeply implicated, who had in vain
sovght refuge in the house of a Foreign Ambassador, his brother-
-1..1511. The last courier, who left St. Petersburgb on the 311th
December, brought a long letter from the Empress Alexandra to
t:.e Ring of Prussia ; he further left the capital on the News in
profound tranquillity, and the moat satisfactory accounts were
received from the Southern Government, where entire corps
ct the army—for instance, the ?d, under Count Wittgenstein, had
oaken the oath, with great enthusiasm, to the Cmsarowitsch.
has often been said lately, that if the Grand Duke Constantine had
acrd a few days only at St. Petersburgh, as Emperor, and then
abdicated, the malcontents and intriguers would hare been deprived I
of erery pretext, and many lives would have been spared: but who
ran decide whether this measure would no' have had a precisely con- I
tn.-, effect, even if the health of the G rand Duke Constantine, whose
sufferings are not to be described, had permitted its adoption ? It
is evident that the unshaken firmness with which Constantine re-
silenced faithful to kis renunciation, which is as little the result of
petty anxiety as of selfish love of ease, but is clearly enough ex-
pressed in the serious expressions of the act of renunciation ad-
dressed to the Emperor Alexander, manifests as much strength of
mad on his part as she oath taken by Nicholas to his elder brother
shows prudence and integnty in him in whose favour the renuncia.
tiuo was made. It will be the task of the future historian duly to
appreciate this unexampled friendly contention between two brothers.
At present passions and party spirit are ton much excited.
According to the latest accounts front Odessa the Etnpress Eliza-
beth had so far overcome het affliction. and her desire to be reunited
with Alexander, that hopes are beginning to be entertained that her
valuable life wmild be preserved. It was reported in St. Peters.
btegh that the Emperor would shortly undertake a journey to
11.a.cow and the southern provinces, where his presence wnuld ere.
tend, in these critical moments, to make the minds of the
pr..pt. easy. His presence, his truly dignified appearance. and his
eloquence, would be able materially to direct public opinion,
wt.. rh is more dreisive than anywhere else in favour of the Greeks.
