We are assured that the cause that retarded the
ec*ltiers (from St. Petersburg))) was the impossibility
of passing the Vistula, the bridge of boats over which
had 'been carried away, and which was not yet frozen
sufficiently to admit of a safe passage over the ice.
'Letters of the 21st December, written on the borders
of Bessat abia, announce the spread of a report among
the Russian armies of the speedy artival of Constan-
tine, which proves that in that part of Russia, and at
that time, they were yet ignorant of the fact of the twice
repeated abdication of that Prince.

FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNIL.
ANTWERP, Isavaay to.
The Consul and other Russians in this city have taken
the oath of fealty, according to instructions from St.
Petersburgh, to Constantine I. The most afflicting and
contradictory news is in circulation here about the events
in the Nutt's. The merchants are alarmed, fearing a
general disturbance. The Russians display openly their
indignation at the bloody events at St. Petersburgh,
and they attribute them to neglecting to insert in the
Imperial Manifesto the renurciation of the new EPA-
peror. Not publishing the decisive act of Constantine's
is ill may have made the troops believe they were
m rching under the banner of honour against perjury
and faithlessness. The bloody scenes at St. Petersburgh
offer a danger•sus example for the future, if ar.y faction
wishes, either there or in any other countries, to usurp
the supreme power. Constantine being ignorant of
what was done at St. Petersburg's, might think himself
pledged to the renunciation; but, on being proclaimed'
Emperor, this *Rend the whole case, and a formal
act of abdication, performed after his knowledge of
having been so proclaimed, ought to have been pub-
lished to save the shedding of blood, and perhaps to
avoid the danger of exciting a civil war in the distant
Batts of the empire.

FROM THE JOURNAL DES DEBATE.
PARIS, JANUANT 15.
The fitst renunciation of Constantine was occasioned
by his divorce ; the second by his want of ability ; and
the third, by respect for the orders of .he Emperor and
his mother. These contradi:tions can do no good in
an age which has seen fortune take so many shapes to
ravish the sceptic front or regime Princes. Except the
Bourbons, who knew host to die, but not to abdicate,
almost all the Potentates of Europe have given up pro-
vinces, tights, and thrones; and it was marvellous to see
the simple language in which their renunciations have
been drawn up. Sometimes, however, it was a Despot
dictating it, sword in hand ; sometimes it was a People,
who, obtaining promises, words, and deeds, for three
years, against which, however, in changing its colours,
was obliged to protest. When such examples are be-
fore us, it is dangerous to omit the august forms which
can 4,me save the fifty millions of men, which an all
rim et will makes over from one master to another,
boot inimical interpretations and factious protests. We
say, moreover, that it is always dangetous to make any
alterations in the rank of sovereign families, among a
people who, having no other guarantees, look to here-
ditary right to secore them that internal peace which
is the chief want of every State.
The news that Constantine had hastened to make the
army under his orders submit to his brother, dues not
answer for the preservation of peace in Russia. There
is no paitive news yet, more than the Russian Legation
has not taken fresh oaths. The name of Constantine I.
though it will be unknown to history, reigns among the
Idoscovites at Paris. Yesterday the name was resounded
in a hymn, in the chapel of the Ambassador ; while

how the army will decide the fall of the-Empire, which
has no other institntioss than the•thione and the camp;
'and the throbe is weakened by an interregnum,
and the camp strengthened by the losses of the su-
preme power.

In a preceding page we have given several extracts
from the French Papers of Sunday and Monday, and
we have since received the Etoile of yesterday. It
contains an article horn the Austrian Observer, stating,
on the authority of official intelligence from Warsaw,
that a courier h:id arrived in that city on the Ist inst.
bringing the decision of the question respecting the ac-
cession to the Throne.

The Grand Duke NICHOLAS accepted the Crown;
and had been proclaimed Emperor of RUSSIA and King
of POLAND. The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE imme-
diately assembled thegourt, and in presence of his wife,
the Princess of LCCWITZ, and several Generals, read
with a loud voice the Ukase of the new &Imams; he
finished with shouting, Hurrah ! long live my beloved
brother, the Emperor Nicholas the First, my gracious
Emperor and master." The next day the troops were
to take the oaths of allegiance.
Sunday, Co t.te I'ozzo DI Bows, the Russian Am-
bassador, assembled the Russian subjects in Pads, and
received. from them the oath of allegiance to the Em-
peror Nictior4s:- At six o'cl-ck the Comte gave an en-
tertainmenr, Which was attended by several persons of
distinguished rank.

The Erode calls the new Govern^•r of St. Petersburgh
General Kourousoir, and says he commanded the
corps of cadets. The individual wbo killed Gen. Mr
LARAPOWZTSCN is called GOLITOI, he has been arrested,
as has also-AnAI.INSKI, the man who wounded General
SCIIZNSCHIN.

The Prince of OaAwoz, travelling under the title of
Count of FLAND/113, arrived at Frankfort on the 10th
inst. on his way to St. Petersburgh. His Royal High-
ness is accompanied by an Adjutant, his valet, and a
Cabinet Courier who precedes him, in order to procure
relays of horses.
An article from Berlin states, that the Moscow Re.
giment, which on the 26th ult. refused to take the oath
to the Emperor NicaoLos, is the old regiment of
Lithuania. Formed by his Imperial H ghness the
Grand Duke COMSTANTINE, it was extremely .attached'
to him, and manifested the most lively joy when he
was proclaimed Emperor. It was one of the best Rus-
sian regiments, and greatly distinguis'hed itself in the
last war.

The plague is said to make great ravages in W.allsk-
chia and Moldavia.

Acoounts from Greece state, the Seraskier RID

'WWI) tlsdus. had decapitmed Deattisctt CASsiui
C.,idt of the Albani ,as. and SuLfzx CODJA ; this double
event increased the tet tor of the Albanians,who deserted
daily and fled to the mountains. cursing the Turks and
the war. The Seraskier, instead of attacking Misso-
longhi. fortifies himself in his camp,where he is besieged
by the Etolians. The Turkish divi►ion stationed at
Salons, has been cut to pieces by PANORIAS and his
troops. It is also reported that IBRAHIM PACHA has
experienced a reverse near Corinth.

Frankfort and other German papers to the 12th
inst. reached us this forenoon. The Austrian Observer
to the 7th has no accounts from Poland or Russia I
neither has the Allgemeine Zeitung to the 12th, the latter
however gives, from the Bolin papers, pat t of the official
documents from the Russian Capital. The Emperor of
AusTRIA has presented the bridge of boats erected in
September, to the city of Presburgt The following ate
the only articles worth quoting in these papers. •

FRANKFORT. JANUARY 10.
FROM THE ORIENTAL SPECTATOR.

SMYRNA, DlVildiiit 24

On the 7th November, we had the satisfaction to see
for the first time a Sardinian frigate and brig enter
our port, being part of the division which is to be sta-
tioned in the Levant. The Sardinian Consul who is to
reside here, is expected shortly, on board a corvette.
The Turkish flotilla of Sao has just cleared these
seas of 20 piratical vessels. The pirates having suc-
ceeded in seising on three Turks belonging to the island,
had sent a Greek to the relations of the Turks, to ac-
quaint them with the circumstance, to fix the ransom
to be paid, and to declare to them that in case of refusal
they would massacre the three prisoners. One of the rela-

tions went ind informed thePwcha, who took hi, measures
s well, dim the expedition which he commanded had
aft-the' success that could be desired.

On the sth of November, the Riche being informed
that twenty-one Greek vessels, large and small, were
anchored in a creek of Scio, opposite to Ipsara, imme-
diately sent out his flotilla, consisting of a schooner and
five mistics. It arrived off the creek before day-break,
And immediately brought its artillery to bear on the
Greek ve,sels, which sunk two mistics and burnt three.
The pirates took flight, and escaped into the mountains.
Tire flotilla returned to the port of Scio, and brought
with it the other sixteen mistics, which it had taken.
The P.4eha rewarded the Turkish Captains, by invest-
ing them with a cafton ; and, without loss of time,
sent in pursuit of the pirates, viho sought refuge on
shore. A body of troops met with them, killed five,
and made twenty-two prisoners, whom they brought
back to Scie.

New York Paperszr"l77t h ult. have reached
us, and extracts from them will be found i 1 a pieced.
ing pas,. It is stated that the Embassy to ale Congress
\of AmericanSt Sites at Panama was to be offered to Mr.
Mounot, the tat Pke4dent of the United States. In

one of the Journals it is hinted that this diAinguished
public character lies not retired from office with the
poiteasion of anything like an independent fortunerand
a suggestion follows; that Congress might to grant pen-
sions for life to the Chief Magistrates of the Union on
their c et irement.

One Journalist,however, calculates, that from his eco-
nomical habits during his double Presidency, he must
have retired with a balance of 90,000 dollars, derived
from his office, after paying 70,000 dollars which he is
said to have been in debt when first elected. No pro-
ceedings had taken place in Congress beyond the pre-
sentation of petitions and the recording of notices for
future •consideration. Among the former are many
from the officers who served in the war of independence,
praying for an equitable adjustment of their claims.
The party of General JACKSON have given notice of
their intention to move that the Cons itution be so
amended, with respect to the eection of President and
Viceßresident of the United States, that a uniform
system of voting by districts shall be established by the
States, and in such manner as to prevent the election
from devOlving upon either House of Congress. Senor
GuAL, the Colombian Plenipotentiary to the Congress'
at Panama, had arrived at Cal t lade on the 28th of
October.
