Nothing has yet transpired to clear up the perplex-
ing question wlttch.has arisen in reference to the ac-
cession of the Emperor NICKOLAS, with the consent of
CONSTANTIN!, after he had been made aware cf his
having been proclaimed in hit own person. Reckoning
according to the New Style, the Oaths of Allegiance
CONSTANTIN* were taken on the 9th of December, of
which intelligence would have been dispatched imme-
diately to Warsaw.
In ignorance of that proceeding, and conceiving, no'
doubt, that the act of abdication executed in 1822, would
have come into operation at St. Petersburgh on the
instant that the demise of the late ESIPIROII was known,
Cossrptunr., acting in perfect consistency with his
former magnanimous conduct, strengthens and confirms
his first renunciation of the throne, by the two letters of
the Bth December, which he commissioned the Grand
Duke MICHAS!. to carry to the seat of Government.

We find that the latter Prince had arrived at St.
Petersburgh on the 17th of fkcenster ; but the new
EMPEROR, aware that the letters, of which he was the
bearer, had been written in ignorance of the important
fact that the writer had actually been proclaimed Em-
peror, in the mean time refused to act upon them until
a new declaration from CONSTANTINZ, persisting in the
same intentions, should arrive, and which ought to have
absolved those who had sworn allegiance to him on the
9tb of December, and subsequently, from the oaths they
(had so taken.

It is stated by the Emperor NICIIOLAS, in his Mani-
festo on ascending the throne, most unequivocally, that
such a reiterated declaration had arrived : and we are
bound to believe a fact so solemnly asserted. But why
was not this all-important Document published with
Ithe others ? By whose hands was it conveyed to St.
Petersburgh? Either it must have been written by the
Grand Duke CONSTANT IN Et spontaneously, at the mo.'
ment when notice of the fact of his having been pro-
claimed hAd reached Warsaw, the bearer of which in-
telligence would have crossed the Grand Dote MICIIA XL.
in which case,CosamaNTlNE probably would refer to the
-documents sent by that Prince, which he could not
doubt would be immediately acted or.; or else the
reiterated abdication must have been written in reply
to a special message, conveying the hesitation of
NICHOLAS, after the Grand Duke Mrettatila arrival,
and notwithstanding the imperfect papers carried by
him. On the first supposition, there was barely
time for the receipt of the declaration alluded to.
—The distance from Warsaw to St. Petersbargh can-
not be less than six hundred miles—and we observe
that the 'journey occupied the young Prince nine days,
though travelling with every advantage. But CON.
lITANTINE was proclaimed OR the 9th of December, and
Nteuocas had ascended the throne on the 25th. The,
journey to and from Warsaw could no doubt have he It
performed inthe interval, but not, we imagine by any
posability, after the 17th of December, the date of the
Grano Duke arrival...

The. reiterated abdication must, therefore, ave been
writtewhbrConavasivine in ignorance th.ir any he ita-
tion would have arisen nn the receipt of the Documents
of 'which that Piitice wks the bester ; and it is, coa e-

fect, inasmuch as it was exectited, wObou• Tfullitow-1

'This may account fot Its non-publications ..We observe
in the ?oreign pers,that the Procurator of the Rnisiau
Senate had reschectWarsaw, brit that the Grand Dukc
CONSTANTINE had refused to see him. Was he the
bearer of the letters requesting a renewed abdication?

It cannot be denied that there is still some mystery
in these proceedings, which must be cleared up before
it can be pronounced that the Rus)ian Throne id in
tranquillity.

. Lisboa Gazettes from the Ist to the 6th inst. have
reached us ; they contain some diplomatic notes, which
passed between the British Ambassador and the Secre-
tary foe Foreign Affairs, on the recognition of Brazilian
independence, and the assumption of the title of Em-
peror by the KING of PORTUGAL. The Gazette of the
4th inst. contains an official notice from the Neapolitan
Consul, contradicting the reports in circulation, of a
misunderstanding between the kingdom of the Two Sid-
lies, and the empire of Morocco. The following are
extracts:

LISBON, JANUARY 1.
DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

His Excellency the Minister Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, having addressed to the Ambassador
of his Britannic Majesty at this Coort, on the 15th of
November last, the note, of which a copy is annexed (a

the over Powers to his Majesty the Emperor and King
our Sovereign) has just received from the said Ambits.
sador the answer which we subjoin.
(The note of the Mii,ister announces the recognition
of the Indepeildence of Brazil under Don Pedro, and
the, assumption of the title of Emperor of Brazil, King
of Portugal.and the Algarves, by his Majesty the King
of Portugal).

WILLIAM A'COURT.,

'The illigemeine &Rung of the 10th inst. received this
!souring, contains some favourable news from Greece.
According to the latest accounts from Corfu, which
were of the nth ult. a corps of 3,000 men, sent
by Isamu)/ PACHA to Corinth, was defeated on the
7th 'of December, near Corinth,' by the Greeks, and
almost entirely destroyed. The decisive events ataalona,
whence the Turks were driven, leaving behind all their
artillery and ammunition, check the operations against
Missolonghi, as the Seraskier RODSCUID ?ACHA being
threatened in the rear, can hardly employ the half of
his army in the siege, which is besides much weakened
by desertion. The Captain Pacha, who cruises between
Patras and Missolonghi, is, however, making prepara-
tions to try another assault.

Cape of Good Hope Papers to the sth November have
been received, but they contain nothing of interest. The
Governor, Lord CHARLIS SOIdERRSIT, had not, at that
date, left the Colony, though his Lordship was expected
to have sailed in the ARIADNE.

By the Crown, which arrived off Liverpool on Sunday
evening list, we have received *deices from Calcutta
to the end of ♦ugust, 19 days later than those previously
received. Sir ARCIIIIIIALD CA mrseLL's head-quarters
were still at Prome. The mortality among the troops
continued, we lament to state, unabated. The season
had been more than usually rainy, and the partial inun-
dation of the country, which was the consequence, had
greatly increased the epidemic. In addition to the
mortality caused by disease, the troops had sustained
considerable loss from the incessant attacks made upon
them by the Burmese. Those attacks had increased
in boldness; scarcely a day passed without some skir-
mish taking place between our troops and the enemy.
The latter always made their approaches under cover
of the woods and jungles, and annoyed our troops, with-
nut giving them an opportunity of chastising their
dastardly assailants. The Crown passed a ship 'from
Rangoon, coming up the river Hooghley, and the
Captain reported that all was tranquil at that place, as
well as at Arracan.

A dreadful mortality raged at Calcutta when the Crown sailed.
The cholera ~bus was carrying of 'the natives in greki numbers ;
and theugk the Europeans were not se muck su►ject to the attacks
of this disorder, many of them had also fallen its •ictios.
l'he intelligipice from other parts of India is not of prominent
interest.

Yererday morning, a blessenger arrived in London
