A ringing of all the bells in the different churches
Announced the beginning of, and continued during
the Procetlion.

His IMPL:IiAL MAJ;STY was received at the
door of the church by the Metropolitan of Mot.
cow, bearing in his hand a crofs, and by the
Atchdeacon. carrying the holy water. .As
loon as their Iht?EFIAL Majssras entered the
church, they (laced thcmtelves before the Altar,
proarated thenifclves bcf,re, and kilied the facred
images that were placed ..round. They nest al-
eroded di Throne, which seas railed in the middle
or the clii:rrb, under a canopy, and Crated them-
felres upon it. The Archhilhopv, Bithop., and
other Dignitaries of the Church then piaced them.
felres in two lines along the Reps of the Throne
towards the Altar. The chair then lung a verfe
of die Pfalm—Te Calitattll4l, &c. &c.

The noblemen of dhlinftion who carried the
Jmper;sfla, then mounted the flops of the Throne,
and placed the kiperia.7a upon a table prepared for
that purpofe. Having arranged them in due order,
they took their places upon the lteps of the throne,
each according to his rank and office.
The ceremony of the Coronation was then be-
gun and performed in the following manner
The Archbifltop of Mofcow (the celebrated Plato)
who officiated on the occalion, after having gone
through the previous part of Divine Service, pro-
ceeded to read, and read the Cape]. His Imperial
Majefty ordered the Imperial Mantle to be taken
from the table on which it had been placed, and
to be pot upon his (houlders. This was done by
the Archbilhop, who accompanied the aA with
the ufual prayer. The prayer being tinifficd, his
Majcfly called for the Imperial Crown. This one
fel the bearers of the Impertalia carried to the Arch.
hilltop, and he prefented it upon a cufhion to his
Tklajeity. His Majefly took the Crown and placed
it upon his head. This aft the Archbilltop alto
accompanied with a prayer. His Majefty next
called for the Sceptre and the Staff of Command,
which were likewile pi-dented to him by the Arch-
hilltop, and he then reated himfclf upon the Im-
perial Throne, holding the Sceptre in his right,
and the Staff of Command in his left hand.

His Majerty next replaced theft: ltitperiatia upon
the cur/lions on which they had been prefented to
him, and made a fign to her Imperial Majefly to
draw near him. He then took off his Crown, in-
(lined it towards, and fufpendcd it over her Ma-
! telly's head, and again replaced it on his own.
The fmall Impel ial Crown was then brought to
his Majefty, which he placed upon the he-ad or the
limpreis, while four of the Ladies of the Bede
! chamber advanced and adjunct' it on her hair.
The imperial Mantle and the Chain of the Or-
der of St. Andrew were next brought to his Ma-
jell y, with which he inverted the Emprefs, and the
fame Ladies of the Bedchamber advanced and
fitted them on.
The Archdeacon then recited all the titles of his
Imperial Majetty, and concluded by exclaiming
armor um fcr;eta—grant him a length of years!—Now
all the bells began to ring, and on a fignal given
from the cupola of the church, to, pieces of can-
non, which lint(' the walls of the Kremlin, were
I fired of. The thiT.:rent regiments spawn up in the
ladjoining fq trans and attach, alio fired it 1.1. if volley.
While the Choir were linging the words .a.ncrum
Ifirirm, all the Dignitaries (if tha Church :tad the
I Nobil'ty of both fetes flood up and bowed f.l-I,:e
i tints in congratulation to his Ma jelly.

When the tinging. in the choir, the ringing of the
bells, and the roaring of the cannon had ceafed.
his Imperial Majefty rote up from the Throne, re-
turned the Sceptre and the Staff of Command to
the perfons whofe office it was to carry them, and
then knelt down. In this poflure he read from
a book the prayer prefcribed for the occafion ; and
when he concluded it, the Archhiflinp and the
whole of the Affembly threw themfelves ;Xi) upon
their knees, and repeated a prayer, while his Im-
perial Majefty alone flood up. At the conclufion
of this prayer the Archbilhop rote and delivered a
dircourre adapted to the nature of the ceremony,
and as he concluded, the whole choir began to ring
the pfalm, Nomen tuum, Domine, debrarnus. The
bells were again rung, and the divine fervice com-
menced. On the reading of the Gofpel their Ma-
jetties took off and laid down their Crowns; and
the Gofpel being afterwards prefented to them, they
bowed down and killed it with profound reverence.
As the fervice advanced towards the confecra-
tion of the facrament, and as, at the words " 4tis
and eat," the Choir began to flog the Canons, the
Vice-Governor of Mofcow, attended by two Coln.
nels, proceeded to firetch a carpetting of crmfon
velvet, fringed with gold, down from the Throne
to the doors of the SanCluary. Immediately be-
fore the doors of the SanEruary the velvet was
covered over with gold tiffue. Over this carpet-
ting their Majellies walked down to receive the
holy nation and the facrament. •
As loon as the tinging of the Canons bad ceafed,
and the Bithops, &c. had taken the communion at
the Altar, the doors of the San&uary were thrown
open, and two Bifhops, followed by two Arch-
deacons, came forth and informed his Majefty
that the hour of his Confecration was come, Up-
! on this his Majefty proceeded ftraight to the doors
of the thrine. He was followed by her Majelly.
Before them walked the different Mailers of Cere-
monies, the Marthals of the Court, the Grand
Marthal, &c. in the fame order at in the proceftion.
As his Majefty approached the fleps of the Al-
tar, he knelt down upon the goldea Witte which
had been fpread there for the purpofe. Ilcr Ma-
jelly flopped before the reached the doors of the
Santluary. His Itlajelly then returned his Im-
perial infignia, viz. the Crown, the Sceptre, and
the Staff of Command to the bearers, until he
had gone through the ceremony of the Confecra-
tion, and taken the Sacrament.

The Archbifbop now proceeded to perform the
ceremony : He dipped a fmall branch (ramulat) of
gold into the holy oil, which was contained in at
golden vafe,and applied it to the forehead, the eyes,
the noftrih, die month, the beard, and the fingers
of each hand of hi. Majefly, while lie pronounced
there words—SO/um doni Spiritio &mai. The elde ft
of the affifling llithops then wiped off the oil with
white cotton. As foon as his Majefly had receiv-
ed the facred unetion all the bells were again rung,
a fimilar number of cannon, viz. tot, as at the
Coronation ceremony, were difcharged, and the
regiments around fired a fecond volley.
Her Imperial Majcay then placed herfelf upon
the fame golden tiffue, and received the facred
unaion on her forehead only.
The Archbifhop next conducted his Majefly
through the holy doors of the fhrine into the in.
tenor of the SanCluary, where he knelt down upon
a gold cloth and received the Sacrament, the
body and blood of CIIIST, 'from the hands of the
Archbithop—(The Emperor alone of all the faith-
ful, is p.7rmitted to enter the Santlluary, and com-
municate in this folemn manner.)
After the Communion his Majefly returned to
his hope' at feat, the Imperialia being carried be-
fore him.

The Emprcfs next advanced to the doors of the
Shrine, (no woman is all( wed to enter it), and
received the Sacrament in the ordinary way. His
Majefly then returned the Imperil,ha, walked up
with her Majetty to the Throne, and remained
feared on it till the divine fervice was concluded.

Such were the more prominent formalities fro
marked the performance of this folemn ceremony.
It may not be unintereffing now to add a few of the
other circumflances that preceded or follow :d it;
together with a faint idea of the appearance which
the interior of the Cathedral wore during the fo-
kmnity.
Previoufly to the arrival of their Imperial Ma-
jetties in the Cathedral, the Emprcfs Dowager and
the two Great Ducheffes MARIA and CAT ARIN E
took their places in the church. The Emprcfs
Dowager was fcated in a feparate box under a
canopy on the right of the Throne. She wore a
Crown and the Imperial Mantle; had no ornament
on her head but the Crown ; a medallion hung at
her breall fufpendcd by two rows of very large
pearls. The body and train of her robe was a
gold tiffue ; the petticcat afilver titfue,,Aith flounces
of gold flowers.
Next to the Emprcfs Dowager, on the fame rule,
but nearer the Shrine, were placed in a feparatc
box the two Great Dueliefrcs. Tl:ey wore the
Orders of St. Catharine and of Malta ; their drefs
was rich and cle'n'nt. Their hair was all braided
with brilliants. The elder was dreffed in a white
filVer tiffue, the petticoats flounced with gold
flowers. TLc younger alto in a filver tau, with
coloured flik flowers. The fleeves of tLcir robes
were made ui rows of lace.

The reiglms;,-. Emprefs wore a profulion of dia.
mond% : her slrcf!: was all white ; a flyer tifrue
petticoat and sr!ale dowers.

His Imp .t:.11 Majcay was dreffed in the uniform
of his rcgimc•.t.

On the left the Throne, within the circle of
the Church, was a box prepar, d tor the reception
of the For,:go Minaters. Here were placed the
Autitian ahil Englab Ambaffadors, Count Sou-
lOU And Lord Sr. Hk LEN ; alto the Envoys from
DLomark, Sardinia, Wirtembergh, Sec.
The Englith Noblemen and Gentlemen now her;
on their travels had •thi) feats in the fame box.

In thy middle of thv Church was hurt:hied a
rich canopy of crimfyi: v,lvct, laced and fringed
with gold. In the middle ol the cianq

Twelve Reps dcfcended from the Throw-, ;,!!!-,:;

piles were conftruaed four lows of bend;,;,
which were feated the four firft claifas of tSpx.);
bility. The benches nn tkc right of the Tro•ii
were alfu occupied by Ladies', thole on the

for they imminently threatened a fall of the fij;
• But what was moil flrikingly attranive ard
• terefling were the appearance and dente. r.-:!:
the Imperial Family during the fiileinnity
ceremony. The tall, maiedic dignity of
prefs Dowager on one fide was fweetly anent;..
ed by the mild, unambitious charms of :h.:
Archduclieffes. Nothing could be more. LI Lira
ing than their tender beauty, flufheel with rn..!,:
and heightened by devotion. Their right ha
were bared of their glove, and as they cuntintoli
trolled themfelves,waved in graceful motion ..cn
their brealls. They alternately bov:cd their t•.!•:.,
to the ground and railed them to Itcavi.a.

Pion of tears, ar:d it was impoftible to behold !ti:
out participating in their 'emotions—

The perfons of the t mperor and Empreis ptt
duced an effect no lefs impreflive. Their yr.
and beauty, the mild dignity of their placid ew
tenances bcfpoke the influence of every virtu: rw
their bread ; the anxious attentions to each nth
during the ceremony, challened and overawed
the terrors of religion, were exemplary in the e
creme. His Imperial Majetty, more particJim

His every look was love ; his every motion I,,ft

mite out of the mixed tumult produced by t
ringing of numberlefs bells, the loud Hn;:ant
of the choir, the deep roar of cannon, the abr
