The Duke of Devonshire, Ambassador from Eng-
land-;-Prince Voikonskyi, Adjutant-General of the. m-
pire; Count Woronsoff Daschkoff, Miniver of Russia
at the Court of 'Bavaria ; Count de la Feroanays, the
French Ambassador; General Dornberg, the Hanove-
rian Minister; and Count Bluhm, Minister of Den-
mark, arrived here yesterday from Sr. Petersburgh.
SOth.—We have had the satisfaction to-day of seeing
the arrival, in perfect health, of their Imperial High-
nesses the children of their Imperial Majesties. An im-
mense crowd went out to meet them at Petrowsky
Dwaretz. Arrived at the Palace, her Majesty, accom-
panied by some maids of honour, appeared on the bal-
cony, holding in her hands the Grand Duchesses Olga
and Maria, and presenting them to the by-standers.
When the young Princesses retired, the following ex-
clamation was repeated from all quarters, " May Pao-
VIDENCIi bless and preserve you. Then all the crowd
proceeded towards the lower apartments of the palace,
where the Grand Duke Alexander was lodged, waiting
the momer.t when they might have the happine sof
seeing him. This young prince was rais-d on a chair
near the window, and replied by a graceful bow to the li
cries ref " Long live Alexander the son of the Emperor
Nicholas." The Empress had scarcely retired, when
tie Grand Duke A!exander, accompanied by his Go-
vernor, left the Place to visit the soldiers of the guard.
Tr ey.immediately. displayed their colours, and beat to
arms. Their Imperial Highnesses the Grand Duke and
Vie Grand Duchess Michael remained till the evening
w;tli the Grand hereditary Duke Alex finder and the
Grand Du ches• es.

31st.—We have to-day witnessed in the middle of
the grand iquare of the Kremlin, a temple which has
been raised tor the Imperial Family. It is ascended by
five step, covered with red cloth. The cupola ia sup-
ported with twelve columns. In this temple, according
to tVe publication which appeared yesterday, the divine
se: vice is to be solemnly celebrated in the presence of all
the grandees of the empire, in the presence of the troops
who are now here, and of the assembled people, to yen-
der thanks to the ALMIGHTY for the protection which
he has granted to the Imperial Family, and for the ter-
mination of the trial of the conspirators.

At ix o'clock in the morning, more than 16,000
men, infantry and cavalry, were under arms in the
Kremlin. A great mimber of persons of distinction of
both sexes had already taken possession of the platforms
erected for the ceremony of the Coronation. The great
crowd of people which afterwards arrived, blocked up
the avenues in such a manner, that the police authori-
ties, who at all times during the great solemn:ties and
popular festivals have shewn a particular dexterity in
preventing accidents and maintaining order, had to-day
the greatest difficulty in the execution of their duty, and
were almost obliged to use force in order to prevent
the people from mixing with the troops and deranging
their ranks.

At seven o'clock the sound of all the bells of the
Kremlin was heard. Soon afterwards appeared the
Grand Duke Michael. The generals, commandant;,
and aides-de camp, presented their homage to his Im-
pedal Highness, and all the troops saluted him with the
liveliest acclamation. Then the drummers and the
trumpeters gave the first signal of the solemnity, and all
the standards and colours of the regiments were carried
to the temple to give it a new ornament.
The doors of the church of the conient of Tschee-
do% a being opened, there proceeded from it 5,000 re-
ligious, covered with the detest ornaments, who formed
a double rank from the church to the temple, and lined
the road by which the procession was to pass. In a
short time the acclamations of the people announced
the arrival of the Impetial Family. Her Majesty the
Empress Maria, and her Imperial Highness Helena,
preceded by the Grand Chamberlains, and followed by
the A►chbiahop Pylaret, who carried the Holy Sacra-
ment„ proceeded from the church to the temple, ac-
companied by all the maids of honour, and the servants
of the Court.

During their march the bands of the regiments
played the air of " God save the Emperor." Thg roar
of cannon, and the ringing of bells, announced the
commencement of divine service. Daring the psalm
chanted by the musicians of the Court, his Imperial
highness the Grand Duke Michael, all the Generals,
Commandants, and Aides-de-camp, alighted from
horseback, and repaired to the steps of the temple to
join in the service.
After the liturgy, and when the prieiti were going to
commence the players addressed to Heaven for the
preservation of the Imperial Family, the Empress Mo-
ther, their Imperial highnesses, the General Officers,
the infantry, and all the people prostrated themselves,
with their heads uncovered. The cavalry, likewise base-
beaded, grounded their arms, before the KING of Kings,
to beseech V.B accomplishment of the desire expressed in
the prayer. During this prayer, the air resounded with
the noise of the bells, of the Itumpets, and with the re.
ports of the salutes of artillery. Te Deana was then
chanted. After the prayer, all the people rose, and the
Empress returned to the church, while the colours
were carrying to the different regiments. A gland pa-
rade terminated the solemnity.
Arms: 1. —Her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Wurtem.
berg bas arrived, and occupies the Palace of the Procureur-General,
Prince Galitzen.

2d.—We hate just learned the agreeable news that
their lmperiAl Majesties the Emperor Nicholas, and his
spouse the Empress Alexandra, art ived safely, at two
o'clock in the afternoon, at Petrowsky Dwaretz. An
immense crowd went out to meet them. His Royal
Highness Prince Charles of Prussia accompanied their
Majesties. The day of,the solemn entry into the capital
is not yet fixed.
