order. constantly prevailed during the three days of public. re.
joicings. The public enthusiasm is at its height, and the soldiery
rarticipate with anlour in the patriotic transponsof the people. The
intelligence from the provinces bordering on the capital announce
t':e same enthusiasm. Conformably to Act. !It chap. Y. of the New

uese monarchy. You haft, no doubt, received the nominated

We are requested to publish the following note
" Several journals have repeatedly announced that the Count of
f.drvilliers (Joseph Bonaparte) had obtained remission to come to
) elgluan. They added, that Joseph Bonaparte had already caused
a magniticent hotel to be purchased at Brussels. where he was to
snlay all the splendour of a man who possessed a fortune of 00
millions (francs). The Count of Surrilliers WAS already seen in
OW streets of Brussels, escorted with Asiatic polar. The result of
an these reports is as follows :--Joseph Bonaparte has resided ten
vests in the United States. There is more than exaggeration in
tac immense fortune which has been bestowed upon him. Ile is
extremely anxious to visit his wile. whom the state of her health
prevents from travelling, by sea. Permission has certainly been
granted to hint to reside In Belgium; but it is impossible that he
should vet know that this permission has been obis% ed. and it is
ertlr a fortnight since it has been sent to America, where he Sall is,
a-ell 'Otero be lives as a quiet and respectable citizen, under the pro-
m:ion of the laws."

The High Criminal Court, treated in consequence of the Mani.
levet of 13th of June, to try the conspirators, has perforated the
task assigned to it. The sentences passed by it, in conformity with
the existing Ia but mitigated by us, as far as the claims of jug-
Pee sad the safety. of the Empire permitted us, have been pub.
fished and carried into effect. In this manner an Affair has been
terminated which we have always considered as the affair of all
Russia; the criminals have received their merited punishment the
country is freed from the eontagtous disease, which had been so
long spreadine in secret. When we again have our eyes oh these
deplorable events, we shall find, that we have one duty to perform.
tin the spot, where, seven months ago, the breaking out of a sad.
den rebellion at once revealed to us the horrible secret of an evil,
which had already ten years' growth, a last act of commemoration,
an atoning sacrifice, must consecrate the memory of the Russian
blood, shed there in the Cause of religion, of the Soverei,,m, and
of the country. Solemn thanksgivings must be offered to the Al-
mighty.
'We have acknowledged His hand, when it tore the veil that
covered this detestable mystery. We have acknowledged, that lie
euffered the crime to arm itself, and thus prepared its destruction.
The rebellion, like a sudden tempest, seemed to have broken out
fitly to destroy the conspiracy, of which it was the tirst overt act.
This conspiracy was not in the character or in the manner of the
Russian nation. Contrived by a handful of criminals, it had no
accomplices but a small number of men, who were in constant in-
tercourse with them—corrupt hearts, and unbridled passions; and,
sa spite of wicked and persevering exertions for ten years, it could
tot succeed in extending any farther. The heart of Russia has
been, and always will be, inaccessible to such attempts. The Rue-
than name does not disgrace itself by treachery to the throne and
the country. We have, on the contrary, received on this occasion
the most affecting proofs of unbounded devotion. We have seen
tethers arm themselves with inexorable severity against their crimi-
nal children—the neatest relations give up the wretches suspected
of being accomplices—in a word, all el mem of our subjects, in•
spired by the same feelings, unanimously demand the sentence and
punishment of the guilty. The conspirators, however, though
confined to a narrow sphere, had been active. The wound was
deep and dangerous, because it was concealed. When we consider
that the chief object of the conspinttors, their first purpose, was
invariably the assassination of Alexander the blessed, we arc filled
with indignation and sorrow. Giber considerations occupied and
eirbarrassed the attention other cares inspired well founded
apprehensions; amidst indispensable investigations, innocence
v. as to be respected, to be preserved from useless suspicion
humiliation. But Providence, which was pleased, at the
moment of our accession to the Throne, to surround us with cares
mai thilleulties, gave us also courage and strength to complete the
• irk which it imposed upon us. After five months' labours, the
Cemmittee of Inquiry, by its seal, its perseverance, ar.d imparti-
ality. and by the use of persuasion, succeeded in moving the hearts
tai tire most hardened criminate, in exciting their remorse, and in
inducing them to make voluntary and sincere confession. Th.•
high Court of Justice, which embraced this great trial in the whole
=tent of its political importance, its character, and its ramifies.
tions, has brought it to the legal termination. Thus, thanks to
the unanimous accord of all good rand faithful Russians, a
scourge has soon vanished, which, in another state of social
manners, would have made a long resistance. The melancholy
events which disturbed the internal peace of Russia are passed.
and, as we trust in the Divine Mercy. passed for ever. According
to the inscrutable decrees of the Almighty, who makes good to
proceed front evil, these very events may contribute to the public
good. May parents now devote all their attention to the moral
education of their children. It is not to the progress of civilisation.
but to vanity, which is more fatal titan indolence—to want of know-
ledge, that we must ascribe those unbridled thoughts, those
violent passions; that confused and fatal lialf.knowledge, thnt
propensity to extravagant theories and reveries, which begin in
demoralisation and end in rain. In vain are all the et:lints, all
tile sacrifices of the Government, unless domestic education sup.
; its its views, and sows the seeds of morality in the heart. Here, as
in every thing elite, the nobility, the bulwark of the Throne, and
et the national honour, must set the example. All the care which
it employs in the improvement of a rational education conic.
(-vs?. to Russia, and given In its bosom, will be acknowledged
with equal satisfaction and gratitude. In our country all the
tea,oll to honour, and the service of the State, are open to
the Nubility. The administration of justice, the army, the branches
it internal Government. all require able and active officers. May,
therefore, ell classes of damns give the Government the same con.
tidal= •In our empire, where love to the Sovereign and fidelity to
the Thrtme are hereditary qualities in the people—where a vigor-
ous administration is united with truly national laws—a 3 the efibrts
e the r.itked will be absurd anti unavailing. They may envelop
toreeelve% in darkness, but when they conic into the light they
are, crashed by the laws and the general indignation of the people.
In loch an organization of the State, every one may depend on the
s.atility of order, the seenrity of property and persons, and, with-
ea t fear for the present, look with hope to the future. It is not by
t d ricetruet ire =imprint.% but gradually, that real ameliora-
' non, are made, &recta supplied, and abuses remedied. In this pro.'
rressive improvement, every wise wish for ameliuration—every
t :might tending to consolidate the laws, to spread true knowledgc,
real to develop industry. which comes to us through the legal ways
r. hick are open to all, will deny, be received by us with gratitude,
tar we have no other wish, and can hare no other object, titan to
roe our country attain the highest degree of prosperity and gluey to
a :deli Po‘vidence has destined it. Lastly, in the midst of this
a-re:dent wish, which all our subjects share, and in the hope that
: vii: be fulfilled, our parietalar care is again turned to those on-
! spry families, whom guilt has deprived of some of their mem.
'oes•. During the whole course of these proceedings, we have par-
. scipatei in they affliction ; end we now hasten to assure them,
tier it our eyes the bonds of family transmit the glory of the
at•eestent to their descendants, but not the infamy of a single colon-
,tai. Whoever should venture to draw from ft a ground of reproach,
would violate the laws of the State, and, still more, the doctrines of
:ere Religion of Christ.
