[BRITISH PRESS.]
The mystery in which the affairs of Russia are
involved becomei every day deeper and more
iMpenetrable. It is beyond doubt that the
Grand Duke Nicholas has been proclaimed Em-
peror in consequence of the forint)l renunciation
of Constantine ; but we know not how this change
has,been effected. The known character of Con-
stantine prevents us from believing for a moment
that the act was on his part purely voluntary.
Soine powerful influence has been exerted over
hits which he had not fortitude to resist, and it
was well perhaps for the peace of Europe that
he yielded. But it appears from the news re-
ceived yesterday that it is not yet quite certain
who will reign over the Russian Empire. The
accounts to which we refer state, that on the
proclamation of the Emperor Nicholas, the re-
glment of Constantine stationed at St. Peters-
b9rgh openly declared their determination not
to' conform to any political arrangement to the
prejudice of the oath they had taken to the
Emperor Constantine, and that when they were
required to take the oath ofallegiance to Nicholas
they mutinied. The necessity of suppressing
with prompt severity any disposition to revolt,
under circumstances of so peculiar a nature, ren-
dered it imperative to resort to immediate coer-
cion.' The other troops who in the capital re-
mained faithful to the new Emperor were march.
ed against the refractory regiment, and it was
not till much blood had been, shed that the mu-
tineers were reduced to subordination. After-
wards, it is stoted,several of the ringleaders were
tried by Courts-martial and put to death. This
is the stibitance of the intelligence received yes-
terday from St. Petersburgh, and we have reason
to believe that it is correct in all the material
facts. If it is so, what a view does it open of the
present condition and future prospects of the
Russian, Empire ! The revolt of Constantine's
regiment was evidently an attempt to seize the
Government for him ; an attempt which would not
have been made, unless the ringleaders had thought
that success would be acceptable to the individual
for whom it was to be achieved. We would place
tenfold as much reliance on the opinion thus
manifested of Constantine's disposition, as on the
information we could gather from the public acts
which he might by intrigue and artifice be in-
clined to perform. In this state of things many
questions naturally suggest themselves. What
part will the army in Poloistl take when they
learn the military execution done upon their
comrades ? If Constantine's popularity with the
soldiery was sufficient to excite a mutiny at St.
Petersburg!), what effect will it not produce on
the spot where he is present in person ? Let it
be recollected too that his position is entirely
changed. He must feel that he cannot now exist
in safety as the subject of his jealous and irritated
brother, end he will know that the feeling of the
military is decidedly in his favour. As in the
days of the Roman empire, when the union Ty in
every province assumed the right of electing the
Emperor, we shall probably hear by the next ar-
rival that the army in Poland has saluted Con-
stantine with the imperial dignity. The army of
the Pruth will be the arbiters of this dispute, and
it is not difficult to foresee that they will give
their suffrages to the Emperor who accords most
in habit and sentiment with themselves.
