GERMAN PAPERS.

ODESSA, DEC. 25.
All the military and civil authorities here have tmday taken
*.the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Constantine. The nu-
tnerous. Greeks residing here are delighted at the accession of the
Emperor, whose name they consider as a good omen; but persons
who pretend to he acquainted with the Court and the persons about
the Emperor Constantine, affirm that when Grand Duke he
fully approved the system pursued by his late brother.
ROM THE POLlffil FRONTIERS, JAN. I.
The capital of Poland bad not gone into mourning up to the
28th Dec. for the Emperor Alexander, and it was• not till that
der that the Warsaw Gazette contained the notice of his death.
While all the orders from St. Petersburgh—for instance, those re-
lative to the taking of the oath by the Russian subjects—are issued
in the name of the Emperor Constantine the First ' • that Prince
still calls and signs himself as Grand Duke, and forbids those
about MN) to give him the title of Majesty. On the artier.' of the
news of the Emperor's death, which the young Count Gurjero
presented to him kneeling, addressing him with the title of Sire,
Prince Constantine refused the title with displeasure, and shut
himself up with his escort in his private apartments, where he has
been almost ever since, inaccessible to every body. Soon after the
departure of the Grand Duke Michael for St. Pelersburgh, the
Grand I)uke also sent his Aid-de-Camp 31. V. Kuruta, who pos.
messes his entire confidence. On the other band, the Procurator of
the Directing denote front St. Petersburg!) to Warsaw, and
was not admitted to see the Grand Duke Constantine, but was $4lOll
sent back to St. Petessburgh, as it is said, with a formal repetitiou
of his preceding renunciation. We are now impatient fur the re-
turn of the Grand Duke Michael, or at. least of 31. V. Konica.

The sword of honour presented by the Cortes to Qui-
roga has been seized at his house at Betanzos, in Gallicia.
After being broken by the common hangman, in the pre-
sence of an immense concourse of the people, the fragments
were thrown intu the river !
The Journaldu Commerce states that the Duke D'Arem-
berg, in consequence of a dreadful conflict between his
gamekeepers and some poachers at Louvain, in the Nether-
lands, has had all his preserves laid open, considering it
better that his game should be lost than that human life
should be destroyed.
We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter
from Naples, dated 19th Dec., from a most respectable
source; which states that the eldest Princess of the Neapo-
litan Royal Family is next summer to be married to
Charles the Xth of France. She is very beautiful, 'and at
pr sent in her 19th year.—Glusgow Cosiricr. -
'I we may believe letters from Frankfort, the events
which have taken place at St. Petersburg!) were much
more serious than the Berlin journals represmt. It seems
that the conflict was sanguinary, and that great aetation
still prevails in that capital. Time alone can clear up what
is still obscure in the events that have taken place since
the death of the Emperor Alexander. Several merchaets'
expresses have brought to ilitlerent towns of the kingdcm
the news of the events that have taken place at St. Peters-
burgh, but all the particulars are not yet known. It k
certain that they have every where produced a very gnat
sensation.—Brussels paper.
Edinburgh has not been so full of company for mane
years Se it is at ()resent, if we except the time of the King'.;
visit. Every furnished house fit to accommodate a genteel
family lies been taken, and several persons have been put
