• . ST. PETERSBITROFf, JAN. 22. '
One of our late numbers mentioned that the energetic and prompt
measures ordered bysthe I:tripwire since the events of the 21f h ult•
have led to the diseovety of a conspirers,. organised against the
country and the august family which governs It.
Another enterprise, not less criminal than the first, and, like it.
suppressed of hoitt any decisive results, 'proves at rime the
urgency of these measures, the intentions of the consiiirators,
and the fortunate impossioility, in a country like ours, and with
our faithful Russian troops. that such horrible designs can be suc-
cessful.
The facts relived in the order of the day. which we subjoin, PlA-
dently prove this incontestible, and, at the same time, consolatory
truth :
ORDER Or TUE DAY OF TIM CITIFY OF TOE ETAT MAJOR
OF Ills IMPERIAL AAJESTY.
1 :','l. PETERSUCTIGU, JAN. 20.
Lieut.-Colonel Mouravinfr A oostal, of the Infantry regiment of
I Teo:1.1110i, has been, in censetiurnee of the emotesaions and dia-
-1 dosurea of his aceompliv-s, detected as one of the principal con-
spirators wbo meditated the ruin of the State by means ot' a Revo-
lutionary explosion; as one of the men who, for many years
past, nourished frightful intension,' towards the Government, and
who even conceived the horrible project of attempting the life
of the Emperor Aker der of glorious memory. lIV hen th's parri-
cidal crime was discovered, the arrest of Mouravieff was imme-
diatOv ordered. It has been accomplished by Lieut.-Colonel
Gebel. commanding the regiment of Tchernigoff, when Mouravieff,
attacking that officer, wounded him in several places. He endea-
voured
to instigate several companions of title regiment to revolt,
by •sing the same fallacious pretexts as were employed by the con-
spirators at St. Petershergli, viz. the obligation tioremain faithful
to the oath which they had taken to the Archduke Constantine.
Mouravieff afterwards arrestzd the courier and the gendarmes
who had been sent to convoy him to St. Petersburgh, pillaged the
regimental chest, set the inalefacors free from their chains who
were confined in the municipal prison of Vossilkoff, and gave the
town up to the licentiousness of the soldiery. Three companies,
however, of same regiment, under the:orders of Major Trouchin,
remained firm to their duty. They seporsted themselves from the
factious, and Lieut. Petition Komi the papers and the seal of the
regiment of Tcheriiigoffi of which he was the aid•de.camp.
Informed of these events, the Commander-in-Chief of the first
army irent. (timely ordered Prince Scherhatoff, General of the In-
(entre. and mom:Boling the nearest corps, to proceed directly with
a stifficient number of troops to exterminate this band of rebels,
and to restore order in the regiment of Tzhernisoff, without hesita-
ting to empty such rigorous measures as circumstances might
render inoisperisoble. However certain it might be that these
measures would arrest the ulterior conse9uences of so odious an en.
ttiprise, yet in order to avoid the possibility of a danger, in this
case not very probable, namely, that the rebels would escape from
the pursuit of General Prince 'fclierhatoff, his Majesty the Em.
perm. cerlidel for a time the command of a third corps of infantry
to his Imperial Highness the o:sari/witch and Grand Duke Eon-
aantine, with a view to secure more certainly the suppression of

the revolt.
The Emperor, having adopted as a maxim that he would act
with perfect frankness towards those troops who, since his acees-
•:e‘sion. gave proofs of unalterable fidelity to legitimate authority,
orilersaile to make known the above evei''s, the publicity of which
must cover with infamy the name of the traitor, Mouravieff
A postol, and with honour those of Lieutenant-Colonel Gebel,
Muljor 'frouchio, and Lieutenant Pauloff, who, by their intrepid
z oh, have entitled themselves to the esteem of the whole of the
faithful and vahant Russian army.
At :he moment when this Order of the Day was submitted to
his Imperial Majesty for his approbation, there arrived a message
Fran the Commauder in Chief of the First Army, accompanied by
a report of Lieutenant-General Roth, Chief of the third Corps of
Infaotry, to the Aide-de Cann) General Prince Tcherbatoff. This
!limn, of which a copy is subjoined, announces that this revolt of
site regiment of Tchernigoll was completel suppressed.

Chief of the Staff.
FASTOW, JAN. 15.
Yesterday. on my arrival in the village of Mocknatchka, I
learned that Lieutenant-Colonel dlourevieff, informed of my ap-
proach, haul abandoned the project of marching upon Bronssiloff,
by Fastoff, and that he was proceeding towards Bela-Tcheteoff, in
the hope of getting possession of considerable sums of money.
which were in the house of the Countess Branicka. I made my
arrangements in consequence. To-day, at three o'clock in the
morning, I ordered out the cavalry and the horse artillery. I gave
the command of two pieces and three squadions to Major-General
Gieamsr. with orders to advance upon the village of Oustanovka.
I proceeded myself with five squadrons and six pieces of artillery
o e Fastoff. in order to cut off all retreat from Mouravieff. I had
also directed twelve companies of Inta4ary to put themselves in
motion after midnight, with four pieces of foot artillery, and to ad-
vance upon Guaudpolovezk. in the vicinity of Bela Tctmkoff.
In consequence of these dispositions, 31oumvieff was surrounded
on all sides. At one o'clock in the morning Major-General Geis-
mar approached the village of Oustinovka, where the rebels had
entrenched themselves. They manifested intentions of resistance,
but upon the lint discharge of the cannon they laid down their
arms. Lieutenant-Colonel Mouravieff was wounded, and taken
prisoner—his brother destroyed himself; one officer was killed,
without reckoning others killed and wounded. I hasten to trans-
mit this intelligence to your Excellency.
A report subsequently received from Lieutenant-General Roth,
addressed to the Commander of the First Army, Count Oiesmer,
gives more circumstantial details of the affair of Oustinoeka. We
feet it our duty to translate this report:—
" I hasten to announce to your Excellency that after having put
my troops in motion from Poroloa, and after having pursued for
two days the rebel Mouravieff' Apostol, who was at the head of six
companies of the infantry regiment of Tchernigolf, I succeeded in
surroundinglihim on three sides. The detachment of the centre
came up with the insurgents on the heights of Oustinovka, near
the village of Pologoff in the district of YassilkolE 11Icrrravieff
Apoatol, seeing our troops approach, formed the rebels into a
square, and, with muskets elevated, advanced upon our artillery.
But they were recived by a discharge of grape shot, and the square
was immediately dispersed. The cavalry then made a charge, and
all the insurgents threw down their arms. About 700 soldiers have
been taken prisoners, as well as Lientensnt-Colonel Aloumvicif-
Apostol himself, who is grievously wounded by a grape shot, and
by a sabre cut'on the bead ; the second Captain. Baron Solovieff,
Lieut. Bystry:chy, the Sub-Lieutenant Besutujeff-Riournine, of the
infantry regiment of Poltava, and a brother of MouravieffiApostol,
a Lieutensot-Colonel on hslf-pay, are also prisoners.
Lieuts. Kouzmine, Chippels, and anittner, brother of Moura-
vieff-Apostol, have been killed, together with many soldiers. Some
others are wounded. In informing your Excellency that the rebel-
lion is completely suppressed, 1 feel it a duty to add, that the troops
employed against the rebels manifested the greatest zeal and the
most laudable courage. The soldiers who accompanied hlouravieff-
Apostol made in general no resistance, and it is evident that they
were betrayed into the revolt.
These events require no commentary. The rebellion of Moure-
vieff has proved, in another part of the empire, that every where
the projects of the conspirator were the same ; that every where
the means they employed were assassination, and that their objects
were anarchy, pillage, anti massacre; but the rebellion of Mount-
vied' has also proved that every where the main body of the army
is animated by one common apint of devotion to the Sovereign and
to the legitimate authority ; that everywhere the Generals, the offi-
cers, and the soldiers, know how to fulfil their duty with equal
promptness and intrepidity. Code these circumstances, we may
repeat with just confidence the words of the Manifesto of the Em-
peror, when, in the events of that day on which we saw him ascend
the throne, he demonstrated to us " the impenetrable ways of Di-
vine Providence, who punishes evil, and who out of evil produces
good."
ST. PETENSBUTIOU, JAN. 21.

son of Field .Marshal Prince Romanzow, who, during the reign of

left no children, and was never married, but was a father to all
