MADRID, MARCH 2.
The Government has decided that no oath shal

be taken to the Constitution. A loan is cons:-
sidered as indispensable. The crops appear in
very good condition.

We have received from Berlin, Vienna, and the
Hague, a number of telegraphic despatches re-
peating, with some additional circumstances, the
important intelligence published' on Saturday.
The most important fact to be recorded is, how-
ever, the undispoLied succession of the Grand
Duke Alexander to the throne of his father.
The oath was to be administered to the garrison
of St. Petersburg on Saturday.

FRANCE.
PARIS, SAIURDAY EVENING.
The first diplomatic person who received the
intelligence of the death of the Emperor Nicholas
was M. de Hatzfeldt, the Prussian Ambassador, to
whom it was sent by M. de Manteuffel. It reached
him about six o'clock last evening. After some
deliberation, M. de Hatzfeldt transmitted a copy of
the despatch to the Empress, who lost no time in
sending it to the Emperor at Boulogne. At a later
hour M. arouyn de l'ituys assembled his colleagues
and communicated the important news he had
received. _ _

The Minister of Marine has addressed the fal-
lowing circular to all the commanders-in-chief of
the French nayalTorces and to the captains of ships
of war at sea :

" Sardinia, by a treaty signed on the 26th ult., having
acceded to the trt aty of alliance concluded on the 10th
of April, 1854, bet ween France and Great Britain for the
protection of the Ottoman empire, now finds herself at
war with Russia. You will consequently have to extend in
future to the Sazdinian navy the support aad kind
offices you are bound to render the French and English
navies, and when you chance to meet ships of war of his
Majesty the King of Sardinia you will concert measures
and establish with their commanders the same relations
of intimacy as with the col nmanders of the ships of war
of her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain. Please to, acknowledge the receipt of
this circular. -

" TIIICODOII Ducos."

Since the news of tht Emperor's death, orders
have been despatched to, General Canrobert to press
on the siege of Seb.astopc ,1 with the utmost vigour.
Of the departure of the emperor Napoleon for the
Crimean nothing what°. ver can be said more than
has been already. Eve,rything continues in the
same state of prepara,tion.
Since the coup d'atat of 1851 nothing has pro-
duced such a markeet effect upon the public mind
as the death of the Emperor Nicholas. The streets
ring with his name, and people openly express their
rejoicing as they walk along. Whether rightly or
otherwise, a very few days will pro bably show—
but at all events in fact—the present war was gene-
rally attributed to the turbulent ambition of the
late Czar personally. It is the general impression
that his son Alexander (the new Emperor) was
dia-
metrically opposed to his father's policy, and is sin-
cerely desirous of peace. .Anxious fears ivere enter-
tained this morning lest the regular order of succes-
sion should be set aside In favour of tile GIL-and Duke
Constantine, who is at the head of the ultra war
party. But when it became known that a telegra-
phic despatch dated Berlin this day, announced
from St. Petersburg that Prince Alexander had
been proclaimed Emperor, and had bnen waited
upon by all the official aut norities the public confi-
dence knew no bounds. Prubsia, it was said at
once by politicians, must now necessarily join the
Western alliance, and the way for a speedy and
happy termination of the "V.;enna conferences is
completely smoothed. The twdesmen one and all
look upon the event as a provi.dential occurrence
just in time for the Great Exhit )ition.
It is noticed that some of the accounts speak of
apoplexy, aria others as a paralyais of the lungs as
tho cause of death, and many peoole openly insin-
uate that the Czar Nicholas has died the natural
death of the Emperors of all the Bussiam--that is to
say, that lie has been murdered. It i.t known for
certain that he had a severe attack of bronchitis at
the beginning of February, a.nd that ho made
himself much worse by going out on hors !back when
the weather was intensely cold.
The intelligence created an immense sensation
this morning at the Pc,tite Bourse, and Threes went
up to 73. At the Optining of the Bourse they were
