RUSSIA.

The St. Petersburg Gazette publishes the follow-
ing Imperial manifesto, dated from Nice :
" By the Grace of God, we, Alexander 11., Em-
peror and Autocrat of All the Russias, King of
Poland, Grand Duke of Finland, &c.,
" Make known to all our faithful subjects :
" It has pleased the Almighty to inflict upon us
a terrible trial. Our beloved son, the Czarewitch and
Grand-Duke-Heir Nicolas Alexandrowitch, died at
Nice on this 12th (24th) of the month of April,
after great suffering. The malady of his Imperial
Highness commenced last winter during his sojourn
in Italy, but the symptoms did not then give rise
to serious alarm for so precious a life, and seemed
gradually to give way to the treatment adopted
and to the influence of a southern climate, when
suddenly symptoms of imminent danger presented
themselves and made us accelerate our depar-
ture from Russia. In our deep grief we had the
consolation of beholding our beloved son before his
death. It much grieved us and all our family that
this fatal event should have occurred in a foreign
land, far from our country.

" Subinitting without a murmur to Divine Pro-
vidence, we pray the Almighty Creator of the
universe to give us the strength and the courage to
support the deep affliction with which it has pleased
Him to visit us.

" Firmly convinced that all our faithful subjects
will share our grief, and deriving consolation from
that conviction, we call upon them to join us fer-
vently in our prayers for the repose of the soul of
our beloved son, who has departed from this world
in the midst of all the hopes which we and all Russia
placed upon him.
" May the right hand of the Almighty be ex-
tended towards him in that better world where is
neither suffering nor affliction.
" Having lost our eldest son—our direct succes-
sor, the Czarewitch and Grand Duke Heir Nicolas
Alexandrowitch, who now reposes with God—we
proclaim, in strict conformity with the law of suc-
cession of the Throne, as our heir and as Czarewitch,
our second son, his Imperial Highness the Grand
Duke Alexander Alexandrowitch.

" Done in the city of Nice, the 12th day of the
month of April, in the year of grace 1865, and in
the 11th year of our reign.
(Signed) " ALEXANDER."
