ranese. The following is au extract from the
letter which has given rise to these remarks:—

BATAVIA, SEPT. 15, 11125.
The Javanese are in a general state of insurrection, panic*.
larly in the Semarang and middle districts, where several
thousand natives were assembled in arms,. and received no check
e
from the Dutch Government, in consequence of the great re-
duction of. their sloops, such 'large requitirions having beau
Made for their. Alaccassar expedition. The number of in-
surgents are daily increasing, and assuming a more menacing
aspect. An expedition has gone out against them from Same.
rang, and been repulsed with loss, and some English residents
have been killed. A general panic exists at Batavia, Samarang,
and Sourabaya. Every European resident has been ordered out
on military duty for the protection of their respective settle-
ment all intercourse with the interior has been cut off; the
general opinion is, that without a timely supply of troops within
ten months, that the European population will be driven into
the ocean. At Padang the Malays were rising in all directions,
and the military quite insufficient to repress them ; here or
the inhabitants have been put in requisition fur the protection of
the city.

We have received the Paris Papers of Wed'
nesday evening, and the only interesting article
they contain is the annexed account of the renew•
ciation by CONSTANTINE of the Russian Cron!,
in favour of his Brother NICKOLAS. It now
appears certain that CoNSTANTINE had been
deposed by ALEXANDER, at the instigation of the
Empress mother, in consequence of his tnar-
Huge with the daughter of a Polish Gentleman,
and that the Act of Renunciation was deposited
with the Senate, sealed, and directed not to be
opened until ALEXANDER'S death.

The Grand Duke NICHOLAS has, on his part,
declined to take advantage of this writing, and
we think it not improbable that CONSTANTINS
will ascend the throne, and become Emperor
of all the Rassias, notwithstanding the Empress
Mother, who will, no doubt, be brought to cor•
sent to that which appears to be the is ishes of the
whole Royal Family.

ST. PETERSBURGEr, DEC. 17. (
The Grand Duke Illidtael arrived this night from Warsaw•
and thus destroys all the rumours relative to the departure of
the Grand Duke Constantine for Taganrog.

At the time of the marriage of the Grand Duke Constantine
with the daughter of a simple Polish gentleman, the Empress
mother, who was opposed to this marriage, called upon the Em"
peror to compel Constantine if he contracted this marriage to 0-
nounce his right to the Throne in favour of the Grand Duke
Nicholas. The Act was .signed by Constantine, "1
three sealed Copies were deposited, one with the Scants
one with the Synod, and one with the Council of the
Empire, and directed not to be opened until the death of the
Emperor Alexander. As soon as this event was known, the
letters were opened ; but, out of respect for the hereditary
rights of his elder .brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas
instantly renounced all benefit of the act in question,
and took the oath of allegiance to the new Emperor.
But Constantine, faithful to the settlement to which he
had consented, did. not leave Warsaw, and was fully di,-
posed to recognise the Emperor Nicholas the first. lie
awaited the orders of Nicholas, and would not quit War-
saw until the arrival of the Couriers with news of the
allegiance of the Royal Family to him. This amicable
contest thus terminated ; the new Emperor is now mom'
tarily expected. The arrival of the Emperor has so'
pended the general mourning, which will continue a year, and
during that time there will be no balls nor plays, nor meeting.:
at St. Petersburgh.

PARIS, JAX• 4•

The installation of the Council of Health of the Departmen
of the Mouths of the Rhone took place on the 20th of the WO
month, with due solemnity.

PLUNGE'. METTERNICH. —IV 14011 we stated h'
our Dover letter the arrival of this Prince at that
port, we distinctly announced that it was not the
celebrated Statesman himself, but his son. 116
Morning Paper seems, however, to have supPo"
ed that it was the latter who had visited this
country. Similar deductions indeed, may be made
from such a visit from either,at such a season as the
present, and immediately following the demi'l°
of the Etnperor..,of RUSSIA. It would be fib'
surd to consider it as a visit of pleasure, ana
it may, therefore, be deemed a State-eveilt,
even as much as if the father himself had
arrived. There can be no doubt, as has
been naturally observed by all our diurnal Pat..
ticians, that the death of t e Eatezeoa must
mate a great and important change in Europe
and probably lead to events of great importance.
Yet it may fairly be inferred that matters cap
hardly be supposed to be sufficiently ripe, at all
of the Continental Courts, to render it tiecesseri
to haves communication with the British Govern.-
merit so soon after the unexpected event, and befae
the Potentates and Statesmen can have recovered
from the surprise and agitation which it owlt
doubtless have occasioned. Time however
importanthowever, will
soon develope the mystery, and pro
matter for inquiry, speculation,
conjecture, tied
prophecy.
