some way or other elected. Whether they will be called

the following Imperial rescript, dated March 30 last :
.‘ To Field Marshal Count Radezki, in the service of the
Emperor of Austria. We learn, with real pleasure, that
our dear son, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke
Alexander Czesarovitsch, while he was in the domi-
nions of our faithful ally, his Majesty the Emperor
Ferdinand, was present at the review of the army, of which
you are Commander-in-Chief. On this occasion we called
to mind the great events of the war of 1813 and 1814, when
the Russian and Austrian troops, fighting in the same cause,
acquired imperishable reputation by their glorious deeds.
As we know how highly the late Emperor Alexander es-
teemed the services you had then performed, and your mi-
litary deeds, we have peculiar pleasure in sending to you
as a testimony of our especial good will the order of St.
Andrew, the insignia of which accompanies this letter."—
