DEATH OF THE EMPEROR

OF RUSSIA.

Mr. F. FRENCH—Sir,--There is a rumour in cir-
culation that the Government have received intelligonce
respecting the death of the Emperor of Russia. May I
ask if the Government have received such intelligence ?
Lord PALMERSTON said—The Government have
received two telegraphic messages—one through Berlin,
and the other from the Hague—to the effect that the
Emperor of Russia died in the course of this forenoon.
This announcement was received with intense sensa-
tion.
London, England, 1855-03-02

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Slll,—Allocv me, through the medium of your pages,
to lay before the public a rather curious fact. It is a
singular circumstarce, that the speech of Cicero on the
Manilian Law, delivered 1,921 years ago, should be
almost as applicable to the present state of affairs con-
cerning the war as it was to that of the period in which
it was spoken. A few citations, taken from Guthrie's
Cicero, may not be out of place :—"Thus have I laid
down the point in question ; but how you shall deter-
mine lies in your own breasts. My duty, I think, now
leads me speak, first, of the nature, then of the great-
ness, of the war ; then of a General proper to manage
it. Its nature is such as to demand all your resent-
ment, and to arouse all your courage. That glory,
which on all occasions was great, but in the field greatest,
the glory transmitted by your great forefathers into
your hands—the safety of your friends and allies, pur-
chased by the best blood of your ancestors—the surest
and fairest revenue of Rome, that revenue which com-
municates dignity to peace and success to war ;—in
short, the fortunes of numbers of citizens, now depend-
ing upon the protection of you and your generals—are
all at stake." _ _

Agana—" For hitherto your generals have fought on
such a footing with this Prince, as to carry off the tro-
phies of victory, but not victory itself. Lucius Sylla
has triumphed, Lucius Marnna has triumphed, over
Mithradates. These two were brave men, and accom-
plished generals, yet their triumphs were such as to leave
him, amidst all his defeats and disgraces, in possession
of empire."
Again—" Romans, beware ! beware ! lest, as their
transmitting to your hands this extent of empire was
glorious for them, your inability to preserve and defend
it should be infamous for you! What ! when the press-
ing difficulties, the imminent danger of your Allies, call
out, are you to be inactive?"
And again—" A strong and current report had like-
wise a great impression on the minds of these barbarians,
that the hopes of rifling a wealthy and awful temple bad
brought ourarmy into those territories. Thus a number of
powerful nations were roused with a certain jealous indig-
nation and panic." Asking pardon for the space I have filled
up, I have but one more suggestion to make, which is
as follows :—As our hereditary statesmen have shown
so great an obliviousness of the classical education
lavished on them when in an embryo state, both at
school and college, let them be placed under the eye of
a watchful pedagogue, armed with one of the ♦ine roots
our unfortunate soldiers are obliged to scratch from the
earth to roast their green coffee berries with, and then
let them get the whole of Cicero's speech again by heart.
It can do them no harm, and possibly some good. Even
the castigations they may receive for mistakes, whilst
learning the advice of a mar who lived 1921 years ago,
will only be what they have richly deserved for past
misdeeds, and, in truth, would no doubt be the very
best remedy that could be applied to them under any
circumstances.

Chief, on the complaint of Lieut. Robert Edward Roe,
of the 12th Royal Lancers, was arraigned upon the fol-
lowing charge :
" For conduct unbecoming the character of an officer

PRUSSIA. AND THE WESTERN POTTERS

The conferences at Paris between the Prussian.
envoys, General Baron de Wedell and Count Hatz-
feldt, and M. Drouyn ele l'Huys, began on Tues-
day, at the hotel of the latter. General de Wedell
has found it necessary to return to Berlin to re-
ceive personal instructions from his Prussian Ma-
jesty, but is expected back again in the shortest
possible space of time. Baron d'Usedom has left
for London.

The Leipziger Zeitung gives us the following
version of the conditions and©r which General von
Wedell is authorised to conclude the said treaty at
Paris :

1. No territorial diminution of the 11u3sian empire
shall be demanded by the allied powers.
" 2. All revolutionary elements are to be kept at a
distance.

"3. With respect to the guarantees to be demanded
of Russia, the 'Four Points' established by the Vienna
Conferences shall not be exceeded.

" 4. With respect to the third of these 'Four Points'
(abolition of the Russian supremacy in the Black Sea),
only such demand's shall be made as Russia, with due
regard to her dignity and influence as a great Power,
might be enabled to accept.
"5. A plenipotentiary on the part of Prussia shall
take part in the peace negotiations which are forthwith
to be opened at Vienna with Prince Gortschakoff, the
Russian plenipotentiary. Iv the event of these condi-
tions being agreed to by the Western Powers, Prussia
has offered to establish an army of 100,000 men on the
eastern frontiers. The mission of Lieutenant-General
von Wedell, it is added, was the immediate result of the
King of Prussia's own order, and did not emanate
directly from the Prussian Ministry. The latter will
adopt the consequences of the said mission, if its objects
be attained in a satisfactory degree."

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

The Britannia, 120, Captain Carter, was towed into
Portsmouth harbour yesterday at noon to be dismantled
and put out of commission, her crew being made avail-
able (after being paid and having leave) for other ships.
The Cressy, 80, Captain Warren, brought up at Spit-
head yesterday afternoon at five o'clock from the Nore,
and remains with the fleet at that anchorage.
The Blenheim, 60, Captain Hall, had her steam up
yesterday in the fitting-basin for a first trial of her new
boilers &c. Her mainmast is being rapidly re-rigged.
Thelmp4rieuse, 51, Captain Watson, C. 8., is ready
for sea.

The /Bolus, old 42, fitting as a shell depot, to attend
upon the Baltic fleet, was hauled into No. 4 dock yes-
terday, at Portsmouth, to be equipped for that service.
We believe that the Volage, an old 26, is being fitted
at Sheerness as a powder magazine, to attend the same
fleet.

The Gorgon, 6, paddle-frigate, Commander R. B.
Crawford, returned to Spithead yesterday from the Black
Sea. She left Chersonese on the 27th of Jan., Constan-
tinople on the 30th, Malta, on the 4th ult., and Gib-
raltar on the 20th. k She left at Chersonese her Majesty's
ships Royal Albert, Agamemnon, Algiers, Hannibal,
Tribune, Furious, Valorous, Terrible, Dauntless, Leo-
pard, Sidon, and several small vessels of war ; The Lon-
don, Sampson, and Triton at Constantinople. The Ven-
geance passed through the Bosphorus on the 30th for
England. The Bellerophon left Malta en the 3d ult. for
Spithead. The Hecla was on shore in Black Strap Bay,
Gibraltar, when the Gorgon arrived on the 11th ult. ; so,
instead of coming straight home, she proceeded to assi-t
in heaving off that vessel ; and after four days and nights
of almost superhuman exertion on the part of officers
and crews of both vessels, in the most unfavourable
weather, got her off, and towed her round to the uew
Mole, where her appearance was greeted by hearty
cheers, the officers and ship's company having during
the short time they have been stationed at Gibraltar be-
come great favourites with the inhabitants. The Gorgon
is very healthy. She brought home Lieut. E. A. Stubbs,
on promotion from the trenches before Sebastepol.

The report stated that the traffic for the half-year amounted

4,9E71.; out of which the directors recomrn ded a dividend

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 19th ult., in
the National Gazette of Berlin, says The sick
and wounded of the Russian army of the Crimea
having become too numerous for the ambulances of
Simpheropol and Bak-Sehiri, it was found necessary
to place 1,5'20 of them in the colonies of Morotchono,
&c. The Councillor Lewkowitsch was charged
to effect this removal, and succeeded in induc-
ing the colonists and persons who had emigrated
into the Crimea to receive a certain number of
them, in consequence of which he aid the inhabi-
tants have received the thanks of the Minister of
War. The Jewish colony of Morotchono and
the Mennonites of the Government of Ekaterinos-
law have also received some of the wounded
soldiers ; and the Government have just ordered,
in return for their kindness in doing so, that the
peasants of the domain, who are behind-hand in
the payment of their taxes, shall be permitted to
pay off the amount due, not in money, but by
being employed in public works."
The Danube of Vienna contains a letter from
Warsaw, which states that the manifesto of the
Czar calling out the militia is not to apply to Po-
land, nor to the provinces which formerly formed
part of that kingdom. Consequently the levy in
question is not to take place in the countries on
the Austrian frontier, Volhyiia, or Podolia.

PRUSSIA..

A letter from Berlin, 24th ult., in the Post Ampt
Gazette of Frankfort, states tbs:t obstacles seem
to have lately arisen which retard the conclusion of
a separate treaty between Prussia, and the Western
Powers. It is even hoped among -the Russia party,
it states, that the negotiations w 4,11 completely fail.
Another Frankfort journal (the German Journal)
says that the National Gazette of Berlin, which was
the first to make known the remark s expressed by the
president of the council to a committee of the cham-
ber, attributes to the words a sen se which they did
not bear :—" The negotiations 'between the Cabi-
net of Berlin and those of Paris and London," adds
the German Journal, " are stilt :pending, and the
counter-project recently propost id by Prussia is
under discussion. It is said that the Prussian
Cabinet insists on retaining the liberty of acceding
or not to the interpretation of the conditions of
peace, and of judging of a causus belli ; it will not
place itself in a position to be ruled by a decision
of the majority, and to be led away by the ideas of
another."
A letter from Berlin states that the incident
which lately took place in the Second Chamber,
relative to M. de Potow's assertion concerning
indignation
in officers, has caused the greatest
in the Prussian army. The colonels of the several
regiments at Berlin were at first determined to
demand satisfaction from M. do Potow, but Gen.
Count de Groben has prevented -their undertaking
to investigate the affair.

ARMY IN THE CRIMEA.

Mr. T. DUNCOMEE asked the Under-Secretary
for War, whether there is any objection to lay upon the
table copies of any letters or despatches that have passed
between Lord Raglan and the Minister for War rela-
tive to the wants of the army in the Crimea.
Mr. PEEL said there would be no objection to pro-
duce the correspondence.
Cohmel GREVILLE wished to ask the Under Secre-
tary for War, whether the salaries of the Chaplains at-
tendirg the army in the East were fixed during the past
year by a War-Office regulation at 10s. fir the Church

Roman Catholic, for the performance of their respective
duties ; and, if so, whether it is the intention of the Go-
vernment to make any alteration with a view of placing
the clergy of each denomination on a footing of equality
while engaged in this arduous service ?
Mr. PEEL said the pay of the first was 16s. a day in
addition to allowances and ration.. The Roman Catho-
lics were paid at the rate of 1501. a year in addition to
allowances and rations.
PENSIONS IN THE MILITIA.

Colonel NORTH asked the Under Secretary for War
whether those serjeants of regiments of militia who are
now pensioners from the army, and who have volunteered
for foreign service, will be allowed to count their service
towards increase of pension?

Mr. PEEL said those serjeants received is. 6d. a day
in addition to their pension while they served in the
militia, and if they enlisted in the militia twenty years
they would be entitled to a further pension. Those who
volunteered for foreign service received a bounty of 31.,
and their service in the Mediterranean would not be
allowed to count in the manner suggested by the
gallant officer.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, 24th ult., in the Post Arn,pt
Gazette of Frankfort, states tat obstacles seem
to have lately arisen which retard the conclusion of
a separate treaty between Prussia and the Western
Powers. It is even hoped among the Russia party,
it states, that the negotiations will completely fail.
Another Frankfort journal (the German Journal)
says that the National Gazette of Berlin, which was
the first to make known the remarks expressed by the
president of the council to a committee of the cham-
ber, attributes to the words a sense which they did
not bear :—" The negotiations between the Cabi-
net of Berlin and those of Paris and London," adds
the German Journal, " are still pending, and the
counter-project recently proposed by Prussia is
under discussion. It is said that the Prussian
Cabinet insists on retaining the liberty of acceding
or not to the interpretation of the conditions of
peace, and of judging of a causes belli ; it will not
place itself in a position to be ruled by a decision
of the majority, and to be led away by the ideas of
another." . . _

A letter from Berlin states that the incident
which lately took place in the Second Chamber,
relative to M. de Potow's assertion concerning
two officers, has caused the greatest indignation
in the Prussian army. The colonels of the several
regiments at Berlin were at first determined to
demand satisfaction from M. de Potow, but Gen.
Count de Groben has prevented their undertaking
to investigate the affair.
London, England, 1855-03-02

NEW WRITS.

On the motion of Lord ELCIIO, the Clerk of the
Crown was ordered to issue a new writ for the election
of a member of Parliament for the borough of Dudley,
in the room of the late Mr. J. Eenbow, deceased.
On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, new writs were
also ordered for Stroud, in the room of Mr. Horsman,
who had accepted the office of Secretary to the Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland ; for Athlone, in the room of Mr.
Keogh, who had accepted the office of Attorney-General
for Ireland—(hear, hear)—and for Ennis, in the room
of Mr. Fitzgerald, who had accepted the office of Soli-
citor-General for Ireland.

ARMY BEFORE SEBASTOPOL COMMITTEE.
Mr. ROEBUCK, as chairman of this commit-
tee, brought up a report, which was read by the
clerk at the table. It stated that the committee
were of opinion that the objects for which it had been
appointed would be best attained, and injustice to indi-
viduals would be prevented if its proceedings were con-
ducted secretly.
Mr. ROEBUCK also asked that a message might be
sent to the Lords' asking for the attendance of the Duke
of Newcastle, to give evidence upon the committee.
LONDON AND DUBLIN MAILS.

. replylv nt
so Mr.ON
In
statedA NcEiDl hat arrangements were about
to be made to expedite the mails between London and
Dublin by an hour. He was not, however, prepared to
state what might be the result of their arrangements.
ESTABLISHMENT OF A GENERAL POLICE, &o.
In reply to a series of questions from Mr. PALE,
Sir G. GREY said he felt most anxious on the sub-
ject of the establishment of a general police throughout
the kingdom, but he could not saywthat he had any mea-
sure in contemplation. As to the question whether the
Government had any intention of introducipc Q. measure
relative to the reformation of juvenile ofFenat% he would
remind the hon.:gentleman that an:act was passed last ses-
sion by which power Wag given to establish institutions of
this character, and that power had been extended
to eight, and others had made proposals. It
Lad been d. termined that no fund should be

provided by the Government for the establishment of
such schools. As to the employment of convict tabour,
a system had been in operation for some time which had
been found very profitable.

PROVISION OF FOOD AND FORAGE FOR

TURKIS a CAVALRY.

Mr. OT WAY wished to ask the Secretary at War
whether there was any agreement between her Majesty's
Government and the Porte, by which her Majesty's
Government undertook to provide food for the Turkish
soldiers and forage for their cavalry in the Crimea; and,
if so, if any and what steps had been taken to insure
the delivery of hay sufficient for the large body of
Turkish cavalry stationed in or about to be sent to the
Crimea ?

Mr. F. PEEL in reply said that, by an agreement
with the Porte, it was intended that there should be an
auxiliary force of cavalry which would no doubt have to
be fed and foraged ; but during the last few months
such large cs,ntracts had been entered into that it was
not necessary to make any special provision for supply-
ing this force.
London, England, 1855-03-02

not to merit—for that is what is required—but
to interest. In the one case, it is peculiarly hard
on young and vigorous men to see the way
blocked up, and their progress arrested, by senile
imbecility, or even mediocrity. On the other
hand, it is still harder on hard-working veterans,
who have honestly won their rank, to see youths,
born after they were in harness, elevated above
their heads, simply because they had influential
friends. But surely the rule of seniority is better
than that of purchase. The former insures a
considerable amount of service, the other only the
possession of a certain sum, while that nominally
for service does not hold out greater advantages
to those possessed of interest than that now in
operation, and is not, by any means, so unfair
to veteran officers. Either of them would be a
decided improvement on the purchase system.
But why should either be exclusively adopted ?
A judicious admixture of both would exactly meet
the exigency of the case, making promotion by
seniority the rule, with exceptions in favour of
every man who fairly merited the privilege.
Public opinion would criticise all such appoint-
ments, and so much the better. If it could not
totally prevent jobbery, if it could not insure the
advancement of the best man, it would at least
prevent any flagrant abuse, and insure the ap-
pointment of men duly qualified for the duties
they were required to discharge.

THE Loss OF A NATIVE VESSEL.—The schooner Stree
Vencatannarrainsawmy, No. 82, Syrang Thatia, was
riding at anchor in the roadstead with general cargo.
It was stated that the vessel was making much water,
and she could not ride in safety ; the lascars therefore
cut her cable, and run the vessel ashore at daylight yes-
terday morning. In doing so she unfortunately got foul
of the wreck of the Serampore ; when the master atten-
dant's boats, Cattamarans, put off, and brought the
whole of the crew ashore. The vessel immediately after-
wards was dashed to pieces.—Spectator, Jan. 24.
