WAR-DEPARTMENT, MARCH 2. t
Lord Panmure yesterday received a Despatch and its
Enclosures, of which the following are copies, addressed to
his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, by Field-Marshal the
Lord Raglan, G.C.B.

HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took hi 3 seat on the wool-
sack at five o'clock.

Lord LUCAN apperred for the first time in the
house this evening. His lordship entered into an aI:L.
mated conversation with the Earl of Clarendon and Lord
Lyndhurst. His lordship appeared in excellent health
and spirits.

Before Soba.stopel,
February 17,1855.

MY LORD DUKE,

I have the satisfaction to acquaint your Grace that the
weather has improved since I last addressed you, and the
country is becoming drier.
Two days ago the thermometer was up at 60. It was
somewhat lower yesterday, and early this morning it was
down below freezing point, and at this moment it is
snowing.

DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

The Earl of CLARENDON rose amidst profound
silence, and said—My lords, I think it my duty
to inform your lordbhips of the contents of a
telegraphic despatch which I received half an hour ago
from her Majesty's Minister at the Hague :
"The Emperor of Russia died this morning between
12 and 1 o'clock, of apoplexy, after an attack of influ-

I mention these particulars in order to show your Grace
how variable this climate is.

No movement has been made upon the part of the
enemy. The garrison of Sebastopol is engaged in deepen-
ing the ditches, and improving the defences of the south
front, and in constructing works on the north side of the
harbour.

onza."

I have also, my lords, received a despatch from Berlin,
also informing me of the death of the Emperor of
Russia. An hour before this despatch arrived,
received an account from Lord John Russell, who
is at Berlin, stating that the Emperor of Russia
was at the point of death, and that he had already taken
leave of his family. I apprehend, said his lordship,
although this event occurred at so late a time as between
twelve and one this morning, there can be no doubt of
the authenticity of the information. Under these cir-
cumstances, as this unexpected event must exercise
an important and immediate influence on the war,
and upon the negotiations for peace, and possibly
upon the policy of Russia, I think that my noble and
learned friend (Lord Lyndhurst) will agree with me that
it might be attended with much inconvenience if he per-
severed in bringing forward his motion, of which he had
given notice. I therefore trust, upon public grounds,
that my noble friend will accede to the request which I
now make, namely, that he would postpone his motion.
Lord LYNDHURST—My lords, after the statement
of my noble friend, I feel it is my duty not to proceed
with the motion of which I have given notice in reference
to our relations with Russia. But I beg to state that
I shall • not withdraw it, but merely postpone it till a
future opportunity.

I have received information that the Russian army, in
the neighbourhood of Bakshi-Serai and Simpheropol, Is
suffering much from the want of provisidns, and from pri-
vations of all kinds.

I am happy to b 3 able to s,ty that the railway is making
considerable progress, and that every helm is entertained
that in the course of a very short time it will be available
for transit as far as Kadikoi, which will accelerate the
conveyance of stores up to the camp.
I enclose the return of casualties up to the 16th inst.
I'have great pleasure in stating that Colonel Bell, of the
Royal Regiment, who received a slight wound in the side
from a musket-ball, when commanding in the trenches on
the night of the 14th inst., experiences very little incon-
venience from it, and has felt well enough to continue to
discharge his duty with his accustomed zeal.
I have, Sze.,
RAGLAN.

His Grace the Duke of Newcastle,
&c. &c.
