We have this morning received the rari
Papers of Monday, which seem, for the must
part, occupied with the death of the ErnPer°-
,
ALEXANDER of RUSSIA. It is, however, to be re.
marked that in the details of this event, no dslll/1..
yet been assiined upon which it took place'
cause of the death of the EMPEROR 119 state
by the Etoile, was erysipelas in his leg, t
complaint to which he had long been Obi°
• as.
in consequence of a fall from his cars
The Morning Post of this day, however, nsgertst
that his death was violent, and that his life
fell a sacrifice to conspiiacy and treacher!'
The detail, as given by that Jdurnal
ip
substance :—That CONSTANTINE, about five year
,1
s
ago, conspired against the authority -ou
life of his brother. The plan being diseavere
the author was pardoned, and all that eves
vnow
reached the public was, a confused "" a,
ledge that some regiments of Imperial Guar
had shewn symptoms of insubordination at. or "ear
St. Petersburg!), which had been promptly re
8'
pressed. The punishment a warded to tharros
c!
sent EMPEROR, was banishment to the limits °foi
Viceroyalty, and a threat that ALEX ANDEIt si.°llo,
leave the Crown by Will, to his third 10°`
We have then a history of the attempts o°l's
ANDER. to regain his popularity with the arrol7
JO°
by a pretended religious enthusiasm, an- 8
rse
ri
to avenge the death of the Patriarch of the w'
is
Church at Constantinople. But restrained
of
these attempts by the policy of the —°ur
Vienna, the army became again disconteutedie
again a conspiracy was planned and its rare
effected as follows

" The conspirators took every means to create to t n the
tended victim the most unbounded confidence, and ncl
return of ALEXANDER from the Steppes of the Cein'e2'ili a,
before he quitted Taganrok, a succession of fetes Wag 4\-le2of,
In one of these a water party was formed on the sea of.w. be
and the conspirators contrived that the imperial boat 'll°- he
manned entirely by themselves and their friends. 131 1:10e
the vessel was solitary onshe waters—when no Cr could gas
and no ear could hear—the Autocrat of half* w°r‘

Such is the tale a Ministerial Journal, jo,lire;
