MUTINY AT PETEItSBURGH.

The following are extracts of letters received
yesterday by the Hamburgh mail :

BERLIN, JAN. 4.—By accounts just arrived from St. Peters.
burgh we are informed that that capital was mode a theatre 01

disorder and bloodshed on the 27th of last month. On the
25th, the Grand Duke Nicholas had been proclaimed the Em-
peror and Autocrat of all the Ilussias, King of Poland, Grand
Duke of Finland, &c. &c.; and on the 27th, the troops were
ordered out, and required to swear the oath of allegiance.
This was, however, refused by two battalions, who declar
they would acknowledge no Emperor but Constantine. To
make things more critical, many of the people did embrace the
cause of the rebels and joined them. General Miloradowitach,
' who approached the rebels to harangue them, was killed 03-
the spot by a pistol-shot, fired on him by an individual
of the class of citizens. Besides him the Minister of war
and two other Generals have fallen in this dreadful mu-

tiny.

the fatal 'Lvent in the Russian capital will not be of farther con-
sequence; the stocks, however, declined in the following pro-
portion :—Shares from 838 to 832 ; Metal, from Hi to 974 ;
and 5 per Cents. roubles, from 88} to 874. According to ano-
ther statement Miloradowitseh is yet alive.
HAManRQH, JAN. 6. By several couriers from Berlin,
arrived here this morning at an early hour, we have been
informed of a mutiny broken out amongst a part of the gar-
rison of the Russian, capital. That fatal event is reported as
follows :—" To take the oath of allegiance to the Empewr Ni.
cholas, all the regiments of the Guards had been ordered out to
their respective alarm-posts, each separately. This ceremony
having been performed by several regiments, the Emperor
came also to that bearing the name of the Muscovite Re-
giment, and called on it to fulfil the same duty; hut, in-
stead of prompt compliance therewith, its Colonel advanced
and objected they had not been yet released of their oath sworn
to Constantine about 14 days before. After some altercation
with this Colonel, who solicited at least a delay till the next
day, the Emperor ordered General Miloradowitseh to advance
instantly with two other regiments to disarm the rebels; but
when they had come within mu ket-shot, the rebels fired a
volley on them, by which a great number were killed or wound-
ed. A vigorous attack on the rebels cow commenced, end
they were subdued utter a severe contest, which also cost many
lives of that part of the people that had joined them. The
General Al iloradowitsch is said to have been killed by.a pistol-
shot fired on him by a man in a black civil habit. After the
restoration of order, a Te Deans was sung in all the churches.
According to another report, it was the Count Alexis Orloff
who restored the tranquillity of the Russian capital.
11Amauttellt, JAN. 6.—We have this day received, per an
extraordinary courier, the very important intelligence can in-
surrection having broken out in St. Petersburgh. The Guards
were ordered to swear allegiance to the Emperor Nicholas,
which they refused. The consequence was, that General
Alileradowitsch and three other Generals, together with the
,'Minister of War, were shot. Tue troops fought with artillery,
and tranquillity is said to be restored, but it is very much
doubted. iVe may expect to receive still further important
fnews, as the army seems inclined only to acknowledge (Amstan-
tine as Emperor.
