The following letter presents the text of two ad

mention has been made by telegraph :
ST. PETERSBURG, Mancit 4.

The following addresses to the army appeared
simultaneously with the manifesto of Alexander 11.
to the nation :

I. " Valiant warriors, faithful defenders of the
church, the throne, and tho country ! It has
pleased Almighty God to visit us with the most
painful and grievous loss. We have all lost our
common father and benefactor.
" In the midst of his unwearied care for Russia's
Prosperity and the glory of the Russian arms, the
Emperor Nicholas Paulovitch, my most beloved
father, has departed to eternal life.
"His last words were—

" f I thank the glorious, loyal Guards, who in
1825 saved Russia, and I ilso thank the brave
army and fleet ; I pray God to maintain, however,
the courage and spirit by which they have distin-
guished themselves under me. Sa long as this
spirit remains upheld, Russia's trauqui!lity is se-
cured both within and without ; then woe to her
enemies ! I loved them as my own children, and
strove as much as I could to improve their condi-
tion. If I was not entirely successful in that re-
spect, it wais from no want of will, but because I
was unable to devise anything better or to do
more.'
" May these ever-memorable words remain pre-
served in your hearts as a proof Of his sincere love
for you, which I share to the largest extent, and
let them be a pledge of your devotion for me and
Russia ! " ALEXANDER.

" St. Petersburg, March 3, 185."
11. "Brave warriors, courageous participators
in the deeds of your supreme military chief, now
sleeping in the Lord !
" You have sealed iu your hearts the last words
of his tender and paternal love for you. As a mark
of this love to the troops of the Guard, the Ist
corps of cadets, and the grenadier regiment of the
generalissimo, Prince Suvarov (Suwarrow), I pre-
sent to you the uniforms of his Majesty, tho,e
which the Emperor, your benefactor, deigned him-
self to wear. Preserve this pledge, which I trust
may remain among you sacred as a relic, and like
an enduring memorial for future generations.
Moreover, I ordain as follows

" 1. In the companies and squadrons that have
borne his Majesty's name, and all the distinctive
charges on the epaulettes and shoulder-knots shall
retain the initial letter of the Emperor Nicholas I.
so long as one of those, registered down to March
2, 1855, shall continue in the said companions and
squadrons.
" 2. Those also who were attached to his Ma-
jesty's person as generals, or as aides-de-camp ge-
neral, or as aides-de-camp adlate, will retain the
same initial.

" May the sacred memory of Nicholas I. survive
amongst our ranks, as a terror to the foe and for
the glory of Russia. " ALEXANDER.
" St. Petersburg, March 3, 1855."

soldiers as passengers, went on shore in the west point
tif.the_bay. As the wind was blowing bard and a hig
sea running, little hopes were entertained of saving tht
vessel, and the situation of the crew and passengers
whose strength was exhausted excited serious alarm,
but they were all saved through the gallant conduct of
Lieut. ➢iorel and a body of seamen of the Caffarelli,
who in spite of the roughness of the sea, and the cold of
4 degrees below zero (26 Fahr.)dasbed into the sea, and
taking the men in their arms brought them hill one by
one in safety to land."

Another letter of the same date, from Kamiesh
Bay, says
" Between the 13th and the 23d instant, 149 sailing
ships and 3 steamers, all merchant vessels, have entered
the port of Kamiesh, and 57 sailing vessels and 8
steamers have left it. 64,000 kilos. of provisions have
been landed from 78 steam-vessels, freighted by the war
department. We have now in the bay 9 sail of the line,
4 frigates, 4 steam-corvettes, and 200 other vessels,
among which are some very large steam transports. In
the night of the 17th the wind blew from the north, and
there was a heavy sea both in the bay and the port. The
Psyche parted a chain cable, and for a time was in some
danger, but timely assistance was rendered, and she al
tervvards weathered it out. On the following morning
the wind had lulled, and the sea gone down. This is one
great advantage of this port. On the slightest change
in the wind, the water almost immediately becomes
smooth."
