ther something like elucidation is not comorn,c.ing
10 beam before them. On the 21st of December,
sr. de Tatischeff, the Russian Ambassador Ex-
traordinary at the Austrian Court,had not received
from his Government any official dispatch since the
sieeth of the Emperor Alexander and the acces-
sion of the Grand Duke Constantine. It was re.
embed, that since the 17th he had had several
)10Iferences with Prince Metternich, and that the
ebtomonications with the frontiers of Russian Po.,
larN on the side of Galicia and the Buchowina
Ire* still interrupted, the mails from WIWI and
*brim not being allowed to pass. Why those
prectititionas and how should so distinguished a
nokociator as Senator Tatischett, holding; so
portant a post et the Court of Austria, be loft
without any official directions what to say or how
to act, if all were harmony between St. Peters-
burgh and Warsaw, and if there were nothing
to keep back or to disguise. Constantine has
übdicated, says the Journal des Delude, the
Directing Senate has been convoked at St.
Pitersburgh, and Nicholas the First has been
proclaimed Emperor. " This great resolution,"
adds the Quolidienne, " was due to the august in.
tluence of the EmpreSa MOther,"—" Constantine
has not abdicated," answers tl,e Eloile, " neither
if be had could you know it, for sufficient time
haa not elapsed to receive the news. The
rumour, however, I admit, has been current at
Warsaw."--" Alexander died of the endemic
disorder, culled the Yellow Fever of the Crimea,"
says the Matt, and " its cause is attributed to
a cold caught in a party of pleasure on the water."
--" There is no such disorder as the yellow fever
of the Crimea," replies the Etude ; " he died of
carelessness in exposing himself on the water."
All these mysterious hints are approaching more
closely every day to demiovowels, and if, as it
was originally expected, there be a contest for
the Throne, the whole truth will not remain con.
crated much longer. These Papers state that at
the departure of the last mail from Jassy, Mol-
davia and Wallachia were still occupied by the
Ottoman troops notwithstanding the orders given
by the Porte for the eVaCtlalioll of those Princi.

on the 23d. It will he remembered that we some
days ago mentioned the fact that Constantine is
not in good health : and it also appears, that his
,t;unsnrt is indisposed. These circumstenees may
account for his unwillingness to travel northward
at so late a period of the year, without our having
recourse to the very improbable supposition that
a. Prince of the. Ittre of 4(1, should refuse to ascend
the throne of a mighty empire in a time of peace
and prosperity. With regard to the real cause
Of the death of the Emperor Alexander, not a
shadow ,of doubt can remain that that melancholy
event is to he attributed solely to a fever brought
on by an incautious exposure to cold during his
Imperial Majesty's tour in the Crimea. The
Harnhergh Papers, which we have received
to the With ult. place that matter beyond
all rinestion ; for in an article, dated St.
Petershorgh, December 14, they give an nc•
count, too minutely detailed for a fahrica.
tion, of the progressive advance of the illness.l
The Emperor himself mentioned its commence-
rn,ent in a letter of the 17th of November. The
Empress wrote on the 21st, end :tout on
the 24th. On the 27th, Baron Diebitsch wrote.
On the 28th, Dr. Wylie wrote. On the tilPh,
!titers were sent• by the Empress, Prince
konsky, and Dr. Wylie. Those letters she wed
great ettethations of the disorder, and they point.
ed but too accurately to the final result which
was stated in a dispatch of the Ist ult., which,
however nfflicting, could not possibly have taken
any part of the imperial Family by surprise.
