RICHARD RUSH.

FRENCH PAPEItg.

(From the Etoile, dated Saturday, Jan. 21.)
PARIS, JAN. W.—An extraordinary 'courier
who left .St. Petersburg!) on the 4th of • January
brings the following news
" By the grace of God, we, Nicholas 1., Emperor and Au-
tocrat of all the Russias, &c., to all our faithful subjects
greeting. .
" The deplorable event which troubled the day of the 26th
of December, the day on which our manifesto announced to
our people that we had just ascended the throne, is known in
all its'details by the accounts which we have caused to bo
published of It.
" At the moment when the first bodies of the state, all the
civil and military functionaries, the people, the troops, were
unanimously taking -to us the oath of obedience and fidelity,
and, assembled in the temples of the Lord, were InVoking the
Divine blessing on our reign, a handful of factious persons,
opposing this national act, dared to brave the laws, authority,
military discipline, and persuasion. To disperse this troop of
rebels it was necessary to employ force. Such, in a few words,
is the whole of this event. Little important in itself, it is but
too much so froM its origin and its consequences. Bat what-
ever grief they may cause us, we find in them the impenetrable
ways of Providence, who punishes evil, and irons that evil
itself causes good to proceed.
" On the mere sight of the first results of the inquiry into the
troubles of the '26th, in the assemblage which produced them
two classes of men are recognized. The first were only misled ;
they were only ignorant of the plot r the others, real conspirators,
served as their guides.
" What did those misled men intend ?—To preserve the
faith of their oaths. Every artifice had been employed to make
them believe that they were defending the throne ; and under
the empire of this idea, they were unable to listen to an other
persuasion.
" What did the conspirators intend ? The sacred words of
fidelity, oath, legitimate order, even the name of' the Cesaro-
witsch and the Grand Duke Constantine, were for them only a
pretext for treason. They wished to profit by the moment to
accomplish their criminal designs designs long contrived,
long meditated, long matured in darkness, and the mystery of
which the Government had penetrated only in part. They in-
tended to cast down the throne and the laws—to overturn the
empire—to produce anarchy.
"What were their means ; Assassination. Their first victim
was the military Governor Count 31ilaradowitsch. He whom,
in the field of honour, the chance of war had spared in fifty
battles, has fallen under the hand of an assassin. This murder,
Is not the only one. Count Studer, commander of the regiment
of Grenadiers of the Body Guard, killed; MajoreGenernl
Schenschin, Major-General Fiiedericks, and others, severely
wounded, have sealed with their blood their fidelity to ho-
nour and to duty.
" Hurried in the tumult, the soldiers of the companies that
were seduced did not participate in these crimes, either in act
or intention. A rigorous inquiry has given me the proof of
this, end I consider it as a first act of justice, as well as my
first consolation, to declare them innocent.
" But the same justice forbids us to spare the guilty. All
thoae against whom proceedings are instituted, and who shall
be convicted, will undergo a punishment proportioned to their
crimes.
" From the .measues already taken in the proceedings, the
punishments will embrace in its whole extent, in all its rami-
fications, an evil the germ of which is of the growth of years,
and I sin confident they will destroy it to the very root; they
will purge of this foreign contagion the sacred soil of Russia ;
they will cause to disappear that odious mixture of melancholy
truths and gratuitous suspicions which is repugnant to noble
minds ; they will draw for ever a decisive and ineffaceable line
of demarcation between love of country and revolutionary pas.
sions—between the desire of improvement and the rage of•ton-
vulsions—they will show to the world that the Rumen nation,
always faithful to its Sovereign and to the laws, repels the se.
cret • effiarts of anarchy, as it has repelled the open attacks of
its declared enemies—they will show how people may free them.
selves from suth a scourge—they will prove that it is not every
where indestructible.
" We have the hope and the right to expect these salutary
results, from the attachment which all classes of our subjects
show to us and to our throne. Even at the time of the events
of' the 26th, we found, with joy and with gratitude, in the inha-
bitants of the capital, as much affection as zeal ; in the troops,
the most impatient desire to chastise the revolt at the first mg-
nal of the Monarch ; in their officers, the most sincere devoted-
ness, inspired by a profound feeling of love to us, and by true
honour.
" Among them was distinguiehed Count Alllaradowitsch, an
intrepid soldier, an able captain, an officer constantly loved,
terrible in war, gentle in peace, in his adneeoistration, full of
justice, zerlous in fulfilling the orders of his Sovereign, a dee
voted son of the church, and of the country be has fallen under
the blow of a cowardly and perfidious hand, far from the fields
