AFFAIRS OF RUSSIA.

PROM THE ETOILE DATED WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 11.
STUTTGARDT, JANUARY 6.
Official accounts state that a courier from Warsaw,
who arrived at St. Petersburgh, the 25th of December,
had brought thither the explanation (exposi) of the bo-
tives in consequence of which his Maje.ty the Emperor
Constantine renounces the throne. As :non as this de-
claration was known at St. Petersburg!), his Imperial
Highness the Grand- Duke Nicholas convoked the di-
recting Senate, and declared that he was ready to ac-
cept the crown. The Senate in consequence published
a pm zlamation whiCh announces the accession of the
Emperot Nicholas I. to the throne.

FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATE or TUESDAY.
FRANKFORT, JANUA Rs f.
Several of our merchants have received expresses
from Berlin, with the positive news that the Grand
Duke Nicholas had been proclaimed Emperor of Russia,
at St. Petersburgh, the 25th of December. This news
caused the Russian funds to rise at Berlin.

PARIS, 'AMA IT 10. .
We have received from St Petersburgh most &filleting
intelligence. It announces that, on the `?6th ult. the
manifesto of Nicholas I. was published. This document,
which is remanably well drawn up, details, with much
perspicuity and historical precision, the renunciation of
Constantine; and the diplomatic acts by which it is at-
tested are alfixed.to it.

On the 26th the regiments of the Guards were to take
the Oath; the same day, at 11 o'clock in the morning,
some of them stayed b.hind, although the greater part
was already prepared. It was even known that the.
Moscow regiment interposed difficulties. Two com-
panies of grenadiers of thi► regiment sallied from the
barracks, with their colours, and proclaimed Constan-
tine I. These men proceeded to the square of Isa tc,
where they were soon joined by great numbers of the
people, by the soldiers of the Body Grenadier Regi-
ment, and the Marines of the Guard.

No other corps took part in the sedition, and k ap-
',ems that the numbers of the factious did not exceed
2,000. Informed of these dts orders, General Milora.
dovitch proceeded to the Et' u are to address the rebels.
But at that moment a man in plain cluthes fired a pistol-
shot at him, of which he died some hours afterwards.
The Emperor himself appeared, without irms, and
attempted to reclaim the mutineers, but without suc-
cess. In the end, after having exhausted all ;entle
means...%after having in vain explained the ct cumstance
of the renunciation of Constantine—he was forced to

It is aim st unnecessary to temaik to our readers
that the ordinary mode of forming surnames is
is to add to the mime of the lathes wITZ for a son; and
OWNA, Or OFSA, for a &slighter.

Advices from Coin tfutinnpte mention that the Turk•
ish Government had stopped a vesfel from proceeding
to the Black Sea, on account of an old law, of the re-
vival of which notice was given some time since, that
ships only of a certain burthen are allowed to navigats
in that sea.

Letters rf the $d inst. from Bordeaux, state that a
tremendous storm prevailed• at that port during .the
two preceding nights. Several vessels had broken from
their moorings., and one was stranded, but as the storm
was vet) viol ut a: the departure of the mail, the ex-
tent of the damage is at present unknown.
Suck has been the dreadful mortality at Sierra
Leone during the last two years, that Ministers have
found it difficult to obtain a proper officer to super.
intend the survey of that colony, which bas been
recently determined on. Three Officers declined the
undertaking, although promotion, and a bonus of 1,2001.
were the conditions of h.—Times. '

An extuordinary courier, expected at Paris from
Spain, arpears to have been detained by the bad wea-
ther. He is said to be the bearer of a decree for the de-
finitive organisation of the new Council of State. The
Government has already received informat,on of this
measure by telegraph. It is believed that the Duke de
San Carlos and M. Castanos, who are now at Paris, are
among i s members.—Courier Francis.
Much interest is excited by the opening of policies
of insurance in the City on two Colombian frigaies
bound from the United States to Carthagena, at from
30s. to 40s. per cent. The amount to be insured is said
to be 90,0001. on each vessel; they are entirely new,
and, by the latest advices from New York, about to be
launched. The contract is to deliver them at Cartha-
gena, where they become the property of the Colom-
bian GovernMent. Their names are the South, Ameri-
can, 64, f.om the Delaware, and La Kota, 64, from
