• The French Papers which arrived last night bring
further intelligence from Russia. The accession of the
Emperor Ntcnotas has been confirmed by the peaceful
and unanimous adhesion of the civil and military autho-
rities of Moscow. Previously to the ceremony of swear-
ir.g sllegiance to the new Sovereign, the ARCHBISHOP
Publicly read the will of the late EMPEROR in the Ca-
thedral. From this procedure, as well as from a letter
written by the Grand Duke CONSTANTIN r, on the loth
,of December, to the Minister of Justice, disclaiming the

imperial; title, by which during the interregnum, we sup-
• pose, he had been addressed in an official report by that
11:inister, it appears that the abdication of the CE
tsaitowyrscit was certainly not voluntary, though his
sacred regard to the oath he 'had taken forbad him for
an instant to think of violating it. He states this ex-
'pressly in his epistle to the Minister of Justice.
.He submits himself "to the will manifested by his late
Imperial Majesty::
On the 31st of December a proclamation was
issued respecting the mutiny of the 46th. This do-
cuasent divides the guilty into two classes—those who
were misled by theirimistaken fidelity to CONSTANTIN E
a7.d those who availed themselves of the oath to the Cc-
s.teowtrscu only as a pretext for treason. The designs
of the latter, we are told, had been " long matured in
darkness." Their object was "to cast down the throne
and the laws, to overturn the empire, and to produce
lu:tray." We shall wait to see how these allegations are
supported by subsequent evidence. At present we confess
we are somewhat incredulous. if they had revolutionary
tlesigns in such a country as Russia, they rather deserve the
seclusion of a lunatic asylum than the punishment of high
t-eason. No project could be more outrageously absurd,
nor would any set of men have been less disposed to carry
it into execution than the instruments with which they
had commenced the undertaking. His Imperial Ma-
jesty forgives the misled, but declares his determination to
le.flict the utmost rigour on the guilty. Ile will destroy
the evil spirit ".to the very roots." Instead of this de-
nunciation, how much better would a general act of grace
hare become the accession of the new Monarch, excepting
from its operation only those who were actually concerned
in the death of General Munn snowirsca and the other
officers who perished in the mutiny.

An extraordinary courier, who left St. Petersburgh the 4th of
January, brings the following news :
•• ay she ,race of God, we, Nicholas 1., Emperor and Autocrat
of all &r Hussain, &e. &e. &c.
" To all our faithful subjects, greeting :
•• The ,lep:orable event which uoublett the day of the 2.4:11 of'
December, the day on whit& our manifesto announced to our
wolde chit we had just ascended the throne, is known in sll its
d-tails by the account which we have caused to be published of it.
" At the moment alien the first bodies of the State, all the civil
and military functionaries. the people, the troops, were unanimously
t eking to the oath of obedience and hdel•ty.anel, assembled in
ths Temples of the hoed. ware mroktug the divine blessing on our
reign, a handful of fatuous persons opposing this national act dared
to brave the law's authority, military discipline, end persuasion.
To disperse this troop of rebels it was necessary to employ foice.
hock is slow words, is the whole of this event. Little important
itself, it is but too much so from its origin and its consequences.
Hut, whatever grief they may cause us, we find in then, the impe.
no:rattle asps sat Providence, who punishes evil, and from that
cell itself causes good to proceed.
On the mere sight of the first results of the inquiry into the
triubtes of. the 26. it, in the assert:l)l%re which produced them, two
.losses of men are realised. The first were only misled t they
ware ignoesiit of the plot: the others, real conspirators, served as

Whet did thae misled men intend ?—TO preserve the faith of
theiroaths. Leery artifice had been employed to make them be-
lieve that they were defending the throne; and, under the empire
of this idea. they were unable to listen to any other persuasion.
" Whatdid tbe conspirators intend ?—The sacred words of fidelity,
oath, legitimate order, even the name of the Cesarowitach and the
gland Duke Constantine were foe them only a pretext for treason.
They visited 1.0/ profit by the moment to accomplish their criminal
designs ; (trines Ina contrived, long meditated. long matured in
darkness. aid th, iLystery of which the Government had pene-
trated only in part. They intended to mot down the throne and the
Imes. to `venues the empire, to produce anarchy.
•` Whitt. were their means ?—Aesasainadon. Their first victim
was the mill sty tiovcrnor Count Miloradowitsch, lie whom in the
g3id of b0t646.r. die chances of war had shared in fifty battles, has
fallen under the I.lnd of an assassin. This murder is not the only
one. Count Stotler, Commander of the regiment of
_grenadiers of
the body guard, killed ; Mayor-fiereral Seltenschin,
i'rierleriche and others severely wounded, have ,•caled with their
blew/ their lidel,ty to honour and to duty.
" Hurried tiUlt tumult, the soldiers of the companies that were
ledwead didinet participate in these crimes either in act or intention.
A r' as tnqpity has given me tine proof of this, and I consider
It sa a nig% act uf justice, as well as icy first conselation, to declare
th-in innocent.
• Hit the acme Justice forbids us to spare the guilty. All those
4+461.5t whom proceedings are instituted. and who shall he con-
vi-veil. will uudcrgo a punishment proportioned to their crimes.
'• From the weestirea already taken, the proceedings and the
penyhment will embrace in its whole extent in all its ramifications
on evil. the germ of which is of the growth of years. and I am con.
they will destroy it to the very 1011 S they will purge of this
ot.tr contagion the sacred soil of Meseta ; they will cause to die.

appear that odious mixture of melantiply truth, and graMitous
suspicions which is repugnant to noble minds; the, will draw for
ever a decisive and ineffaceable line of demarcation, between love
of country an I revolotionary passions, between the desire of im-
provement and the rage of convulsior.s; they will show to the
world that the Russian nation, always faithful to its sovereign and
to the laws, repels the secret efforts of anarchy as it has repelled the
open attacks of its declared enemies ; they will show how people
may tree themselves from such a scourge, they will prove that it Is
not every where indestruc:lble.

.• We have the hope and the right to expect these salutary re-
sults from the attachment which all dames of our subjects slto•
to us znd to our throne. Even at the time of the event of the 9ti h,
we found with joy and with gratitude in the inhabitants of the ca.
pita! 114 much affection as seal ; in the troops the most impatient
desire to chastise the revolt at the first signal of the Monarch ; to
their officers the most sincere devotedness, inspired by a profound
feeling of love to us, and by true honour.
" Among them was distinguished Count Miloradowitesh, an in-
trepid soldier, an able Captain, an officer constantly loved, terrible
in war, gentle in peace, in his administration full of justice, zealous
in fulfilling the orders of his Sovereign, a devoted son of the
Church anti of the country; he has fallen under the blow of a cow.
ardly and perfidious hand, far from the fields of battle, but he has
fallen faithful to his duty, and his memory is imperishable in the
annals of Russia.

Leven at St. Petersburgh, the 31st December, in the year of
tiracv 1821, and the first of oar reign.
(Signed) " NICHOLAS."
The city of Moscow has taken the oath of allegiance to his
Majesty the Emperor Nicholas with the greatest enthusiasm. On
Friday the 30th. at tea in the morning, Prince Gallitzin, Military
Governor of Moscow, commanding the five corps of the army,
General Count TC,toy, all the Members of the Senate, all the
Civil and Military Authorities, the superior clergy, the Nobility,
the Merchants, assembled in the Cathedral of the Assumption.
The original of the last will of the Emperor Alexander was
deposited there. His eminence the Archbishop of Moscow opened
this docament, and read it publicly, as well athe manifesto
of the Emperor Nicholas. Immediately all the functionaries
abovementioned, and the whole assembly took the oath to the
new Sovereign. A re Deem celebrated his accession to the throne,
In the course of the day the same oath was taken by all the troops,
and by the whole capital. It has expressed the most unanimous
attachment to our august Sovereign.
By an Order of the Day of the 19th (77th) his Majesty has ap-
pointed hi. Imperial Highness, his heir, Commander of the Regi-
ment of 14uards of Grenadiers of Pawlowsk.
The obsequies of Count 3111oradowitsch took
_place on the 3d,
with all the Whitey honours due to his rank. The funeral mass
was chanted in the cathedral of our Lady of Casten. Hie .Majesty
the Emperor and the Grand Duke Michael were present. The
mortal terrains of Count Miloradowitach are deposited in the
monastry of St. Alexander Newsky.
I'then follow several Ceders of the Day conferring appointroents
and rewards on the effects employed in suppressing the mutiny,
and a douccur of one rouble, a glass of brandy, and a pound of
fish per man to the subalterns and soldiers.)
We have received from Warsaw the following piece, which we
hasten to publish :
" Address of his Imperial Highness the Cesarowitsch and Grand
Duke Constantine Paulowitsch to the ltnister of Justice, Ge-
neral of Infantry, Prince Lohanow Roetowsky.
" The Counsellor of the College of the Section of the Procu.
rators-General of the Directing Senate, has remitted to me a de.
spatch from your Highness, with the address To his Imperial
Majesty, Constantine Pawlowitsch,' a very submissive report of
the Minister of Justice.

" As I do not think myself entitled to accept It, because accord-
ing to this direction it is not sent to me, I send it back to your
Highness by the same officer. fly my letter of the 3d (15th) Dec.
to his Excellency the President of the Senate the Privy Councillor
of the first clue, Prince laspouchin, your Highness must have
been exactly informed of the reasons which do not permit me to
accept the Imperial dignity. I have in consequence only to
to you in a few words, that according to the oath taken by
all the subjects on the secession of his Majesty the Emperor Alex-
ander, of glorious memory, in which, among other things, it is ex-
pressly said that every subject is faithfully to serve and obey not
only his Majesty the Emperor Alexander Pawtowilsch, but also the
successor to the throne of his Imperial Majesty who should be desig-
nated ; and as it appears front the documents opened in the Colin-
cil of State, which are entirely conformable to those deposited with
the diredting Senate, that by the supreme will of his late Majesty
the (Irand Duke Nicholas has been designated es successor to the
throne, the directing Senate, as conservator of the will of his
late Majesty the Emperor Alexander Paulowitsch, of glorious
mentor 7, ought to have carried it, and will carry it into execution.
" W bile acknowledging with gratitude the attachment which
the Directing Senate has shewn to my person, I request your
Highness to express to that noble body all my gratitude, adding
that the more deeply I feel the value of this attachment, the
more I ant penetrated with the duty of conforming inalterably
to the will manifested by his late late Imperial Majesty."

Constantine Cesarowitsch.)

The Austrian Observer of the 11th inst. was received
last night. It furnishes us with a highly important docu-
ment—the Manifesto issued by the Emperor NICHOLAS on
the day of his accession. Ills Im rr mat. MAJESTY an-
nounces his resolution to adhere entirely and faithfully to
the policy and engagements of his august predecessor, and
in return IM expresses his hope that the other Powers will
continue with him " those relations of intimate friendship
and mutual confidence which have given to Europe ten
years of rtpose." All doubts are thus happily at an end with
regard to the pacific disposition of the new EMPEROR. Cor-
dially do we again congratulate our countrymen on this
additional guarantee to the maintenance of the tranquillity
of the world.
