RUSSIA.

On the 211th December, being the day of the accession at his
Majes..y the Emperor Nicholas 1., Count Nesseirode, Secretary of
State for Foreizn Affairs, addressed to the Representatives of Fo-
reign Powers at the Russian Court a note, in which this event is
officially notified to them, and the 31anifesto of the new Sovereign
commuricalcd to them. This uote then proceeds thus:—

`• Called to the inheritance of the dominions of the Emperor
Alexander, the Emperor Nicholas inherits also the principles which
directed the policy of his august predecessor, and his Imperial Ma.
jesty has therefore given orders to his Ambassadors, Ministers,
and Agents at Foreign Courts, to declare to them, that earnestly
striving to follow the footsteps of tne Sovereign whose loss he
deploreds, lie will profess the same fidelity to the engagements
contracted by Russia, the same respect for all rights consecrated
by existing treaties, the sante attachment to the maxims which
insure the general pence, and of the bonds that exist between
the Powers.

" On the other hand, the Emperor confidently hopes from them
the sameldisposition to maintain their relations of intimate friend-
ship and inntual coufidence, which, having been established and
maintaired 11:...dcr the I:tupetor Alexander, have given to Europe
ten years of repose." .

IVe have received papers from New York to the 2,1 inst.
and from B•zstou to the 90th ult. The proceedings in Con-
greets were reported •to the 27th ult. inclusive. Nothing
of importance had, up to that period, taken place. The
House of Representatives was still occupied with motions
for referring particular parts of the President's Message
to the consideration of Select Committees. The only offi-
cial communications from the Executive, since the opening
of the St ssions were made on the 27th, in obedience to
previous resolutions of that branch of the Legislature. The
National Intelligencer, in reference to the latter of these
communications, has the following remarks:—
It was a novel incident in the proceedings of the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday, that the galleries should be cleared and the
doors dosed to receive a confidential communication from the Pre-
sident. It is many years since a similar incident occurred In that
body. It'e rejoice that the fact was, in this case, portentous of so
innocent a conclusion as the published message discloses.

Our readers will find in the extracts subjoined that the
seal of confidence was only imposed pro forma. It is
announced in the Washington Papers that the PuESIDENT
has nominated to the Senate as " Commissioners on the
part of the United States to the Assembly of American
Nations at Panama," RICHARD C. ANDERSON, of Ken-
tucky, the Minister of the United States to the Republic
of Colombia, and Jowl Salo satyr, of Philadelphia.
WI Lusa. B. ROC/MI.IER, of New York, is nominated
Secretary to the Commission.
The disagreement between the General Government and
the State of I:eorgia seems likely to be adjusted
amicably.
A member of the legislature of Georgia has introduced a
set of resolutions approving the caurse pursued by the
General Government. These, perhaps, will not be passed,
