ItU§SIA.

FROM Tilt FRENCH PAPERS.
After deploring the loss of an Emperor so generally
beloved, all hearts naturally feel for the Empress
Elizav,eth—an angel of virtue, of henrvt►lence,`whn
adored her husband, and who received 'his list sigh.
. lit herself, overwhelmed with grief, she has displayed
• in these awlnhaioments super-human firmness 1) ring
five days she did not quit for ene moment the pillow of
the Emperor, and when the fat..l hour arrived, des-
pairing, but resigned, ►be drank from the hitter chalice.
She 'washed the form and the hands of him whom
sae had loved so well: she closed his eyes, and crossed
his hands on his boscim. Then it was that she fainted.

I think I shall gratify you by sending copies of two
let ers which this Princess wrote to the Empress-mother.
They have been copied and circulated at Court, and I
pltdge myself for their authenticity. They present
the sim:•le espression of profound grief and Christian
resignation: 4. TAGANROG, Nnv. 18, (0.5.) 1825.
" DEAR MOTHER—I was not in a state to write to
you by the courier of yesterday. To-day, a thousand
and a thousand thanks to the SVPREMB Britco, there is
clecidedly a very great improvement in the health of
the Emperor—a Ithat angel of benevolence in the midst
of his sufferings. For whom should GOD manifest
his infinite mercy, if not for him ? Oh, my Goo! what
moments of affliction have I passed ; and you, dear
mother, I fan picture to myself your uneasiness. You
receive the bulletins. You have, therefore, seen to what
a state we %vete yesterday reduced, and still more last
nicht; but Wylie (an English physician) to-day, says
himself, that the state of our deaf patient is satisfactory. He is
exceedingly weak. Dear Mother, I confess to you that lam nut
myst If, and that I can say no more. Pray with us—with Afty
milliGns of men, that Goa may deign to complete the cure of our
well-beloved patient. " ELIZA BETH."

" Our angel is gone to Heaven, and I—l linger still
en earth. Who would have thought that 1. in my
steak bum of health, could have survived him ? Do
not you abandon me, mother, for I am absolutely
alone in this world of case. Our dear deceased has
resumed his air of benevolence: his smile proves to me that he k
happy, and that he gazes on blighter objects than ezkt here below.
'My only consolation under this irreparable loss is, •hat I shall nut
long survive him ; I hope to be soon re-united to him.
" ELIZABETH."

This interesting Princess declared that she wished to
accompany the body to this place. Refl.ltt what dread-
ful angu'sh she must sustain in a journey which must
occupy two months (1875 vents, at SO in each day).
Every day the body will be depsi ed in the Churches.
it is impossible that she can sustain it. Yesterday the
courier brought nothirg from her—her weakness is
extreme.

The deficiency in the last Quarter's Revenue, is, in our
opinion, to be traced at a single zlance to the late
alarming panic in the commerci.4l wild, and
it will, consequently follow, that the return of mutual
confidence, rs h;ch is now so evidently re-established,
snug, in the nature of things, produce an excess of Re-
venue in the ensuing Quarter, which will couriter balance
the present deficiency. The facts are—
.

Ist. That on the whole year the total diminution of
Revenue is only £238,910, or about £487 in every
£lOO,OOO. This is too trifling to n. 'ice.
ea. That on the first three Quarters of the year, there
