It was expected that on the occasion of his Majesty's
coronation, the punishments to which the individuals
implicated in the conspiracy were sentenced, would ex-
perience some mitigation. This hope has been disap-
pointed. The Emperor addressed to the Senate, on the
3d of September, an Ukase, which reduces to 20 years'
the penalty of hard labour in the cases of those who
were condemned for life, and the terms to which others
are sentenced in the following proportions; viz.—To 15
years instead of 20 ; 10 instead of 15 ; 8 instead of 12;
6 instead of 10 ; 5 instead of 8 ; 3 instead of 5 ; and 1
instead of 2. They will be immediately sent to Siberia•
The conspirators condemned to banishment to Siberia
for an indefinite period, are to remain there only 20 yeses.
