bTROM VIZ RTOILR. DATUM SATURDAY, JAN. 14..
PARIS, Jssv*u 13.
Another letter from St. Pete:burgh, of the 27th,
gives the following details:—
The joy with which this capital yesterday saw the
Emperor Nicholas accept the crown, has been troubled
a tew hours by a melancholy event. All the Regiments
of the Guards were to take, in the morning, the oath
of allegiance to the new Emperor. At noon the General
of the Guards and of the Staff came to the palace to
announce that the oath had been taken by the regiment
• of Horse Guards, by the Chevalier Guards of Preoba-
jensky Semeaoffsky, the Grenadiers Pawlowski, the
Chasseurs of the Guard, and of Finland, and by the
Miners and Sippers. No accounts bad been received
from the other regiments, but this circumstance was
attributed to their barracks being at a greater distance.
It was soon learned that four officers of artillery had
:hewn some opposition—that they hsd been put under
arrest—and that the remainder of the artillery had
takes the oath unanimously.
News was brought that 300 or 400 men of the Regi-
ment of Moscow had quitted their barracks with colours
firing, and had advanced towards the Place du Send,
pr ' ing the Emperor Constantine. The people be-
rm stemble in that square and about the palace.
4.a
peter came thither without any suite, passing
thr the groups, and was everywhere received with
demweitrations of respect and joy.
Thirtwo companies of the Regiment of Moscow per-
si..ted, however, id their revolt. They drew up in a
square battalion before the Palace of the Senate, and
vete commanded by seven or eight subaltern officers,
who were joined by some persons in civil costume,
whose appearance intimated their intentions. Individuals
of the dregs of the people surrounded them with re-
peated lumen. The presence of a faithful and resolute
military force then became indispensable.
The Emperor ordered a battalion of the regiment
Preobajensky of the Guards to march, and placed him-
self at their head, resolved not to employ force against
the rebels till gentle means had been used in vain.
General Milaradowitsch, the Military Governor of
St. Petersburgh, approached the mutineers, hoping that
his voice would suffice to recall them to their duty. A
pistol fired by an individual dressed in a frock-coat
wounded that brave General, who has since died in
conseqoence. Even this crime did not alter the Em-
peror's mode of proceeding. His firmness and his good-
ness were shewn in the words of conciliation which he ad-
dressed to them.without,liowever,negotiating with them,
and without concealing from them that their previous
submission was necessary, and the punishment of the
ugitors indispensable. Meantime, by order of the Em-
perm, the battalion of Sappers and the Chasseurs of
Finland, who had reinforced the guard of the Castle,
proceeded with the Horse Guards, the Grenadiers of
Pawlowski, the Chevalier Guard, and the brigade of
Artillei y, to join his Majesty, and begged him to per-
mit this mutiny to be put an end to at once. The mu-
tineers bad been joined by some soldiers of the grena
diets of the body guard, and some marines also of the
guard. The Grand Duke Michael, who had lately ar-
rived at St. Petersburgh, being informed that the regi-
ments which had revolted belonged to his division, took
his arms alone, and without force caused the six cot*
patties to take the oath, which had at first refused, but
had not, like their comrades, proceeded to the square of
the Senate-house. Nay. be even led them to his august
brother, filled with the desire that animated the other
troops, to put an end to this momentary deteliCtion
of duty.
Tpwards night, when every appeal made to them had
Iproved fruitless, when even the voice of the Metropo-
litan of St. Petersburgh had been disregarded, the Le)-
1 peror resolved to use force.
Sumo pieces of cannon were brought ; a few shots
were fired at the rebels, and in an instant the square was
cleared. The cavalry charged the small remnant of
the mutineers, and pursued them in all directions.
Patrols scoured ad the street?. At six o'clock not an
assemblage was to be seen even of two individuals to-
gether ; the rebels threw down their arms, and begged
mercy. Towards ten o'clock, more than 500 ii these
unfortunate wretches had been collected by the patrols
and the most guilty of the Officers had already been
arrested. They have been placed for the present in the
fortress of St. Petersburgh.
At six o'clock his Imperial Majesty had already rei-
turned to the Palace, and Te Deum, on his accession to
the throne, was performed in his presence and that of
the whole Court and the civil and military authorities.
Tranquillity was restored in the capital.
The Emperor has shewn on this occasion great cook
'less and elevation of wil; winch have delighted the
troops and the oldest Generals.
The agitators met with no support, except from
drunken soldiers, and some of the dregs of the people.
Many of the *evokers have already returned to their
barracks, and manifest the sincerest repentance.
The regiments which bivouacked during the night
about the palace, have returned to their barracks. The
Emperor h is reviewed them this morning, and his Ma-
jesty haying learnt that the battalion of Marines of the
Guard, which had been misled tilt day before, by per-
fidious insinuations, :hewed the most lively repentance
of its conduct, and had taken the Oath of Allegiance
to the Grand Duke Michael, he permitted them to ap-
pear intik presence, granted them pardon, and ordered
their colours, which had been taken from them the pre-
ceding day, to be restored.
A letter of the 29th from St. Petersburgh, confirms
all that we have said relative to the restoration of trail-
° Trinity in that capital, and again overthrows all the
conjectures of the Journals of this morning. We have
not time to insert it in the .6toile of this day.
FROM Till CONSTITUTIONNLL.
PARIS, JANVAILT 10.
The public funds have just been unexpectedly op-
pressed. We have inquired into the cause otthis retro..
grade movement, and have learned that it is ascribed
to truly extraordinary news, of which we know not the
origin, and of which we cannot guaranteathe truth.
It was rumoured at 'the Exchange, that a misunder-
standing existed between the Emperor Constantine I.
who wisf.ed to mike, as the condition of his abdication,
that the kingdom of Boland . should be ceded to him,
and the Emperor NiahOlas'l. who has been proclaimed
Emperor of all ihe Russia:, and King of Poland. It is
added, that the Polish army had declared fur Constan-
tine, and even at St. Petersburgh a regiment wished to
follow 'this example,. but that- the revolt of the latter
had been 'put down.
These are the reports from the North now circulated
in PAM. Had there been any foundation for them, it
inay be supposed that the e Gov!ruptent would have

The anxious attention of Europe is naturally directed
at the present moment to the original causes,-and the
probable future consequences, of the late astonishing
events in Russia: much of the facts influencing those
causes remain shrouded in mystery; but, by an
attentive examination of the:points already disclosed, in
the order of their occurrence, they may serve perhaps as
land-marks to guide us in exploring our way to other
antecedent circumstance:Anna which they are necessary

and consistent results. From among the impo►t-
ant State Papers published on Saturday, the first docu-
ment, in point of date, is the letter from CONSTANTINE
to the late Eursitott, of 14th January, 1822, abdicating
the succession: a measure of such paramount import•
ance, cannot be supposed to have originated in slight
motives.

That it was,at the time stated, the voluntary act of the
writer,is sufficiently clear from internal evidences,as.may
be gathered from the construction of the letter itself, no,
less than from that of the reply. He fervently 'supplicates'
andwith the utmost earnestness in the power of language
to convey,that the Empress Mother,as well as the EMPE•
non, may sanction the renunciation of the succession
Which he was about to make ; and ,yet the thing meant
to be resigned is alluded to (not expressly specified)
with singular circumlocution ; neither is his younger
brother, in favour of whom he thus renottnc.l
his birthright, mentioned in the usual affectionate
terms which even the ordinary courtesy of sove-
reign intercourse prescribes ; but, on the contrary,
it is very remarkable that he is not named at all.
As I do not lay claim to the spirit, the abilities,
or the strength which would be requited, if I should
ever exercise the high dignity to which I may possess a
right by birth,l most fervently supplic lie your Imperial
Majesty to transfer that right to him who would inherit
it after me."—That is, the right to exercise the high
dignity alluded to, which might, by possibility, mean
only the dignity of Regent during the life-time of the
Emperor ALUANDICK, in case of his inctipacity ; and
it appears that this limited sense was applied to the
words both by NICNOLAI and the Empress Mother.
The motive for this extraordinary act is, that it will
"secure the stability of the Empire." "It will add a
!' new warranty and a further power to that obligation
" into which I entered voluntarily and solemnly, on
" the occasion of the divorce from my first wife. All
" the circumstances of my present situation induce me
" still more to adopt this measnte, which will prove to
" the Impirc and the whole woad, the purity of my
sentiments.*

From this it is clear that the Grand Duke CONITAN.
TINS contemplated the immediate publication of his

• abdication in the form of a Itw of the Empire; which
foimality was nut, liSwever, adopted by the Eurenott,
who on the contrary, required secrecy during his life
time. The want of Otis publication is, however, de-
clared by NICHOLAS, in concurrence with the Empress
Mother, toihave taken away the validity of the act of
abdication, and rendered it not irrevocable. This was,
in the sequel, another reason for prolaiming CONTAN-
TINE Emperor, notwithstanding the hue EMPEROR'S act
of succession in August, 1823.
In ALEXANDBR'S reply of 2d February, 1822, he
affectionately acknowledges that this is a new proof of
the Grand Duke's " sincere attachment to the State,"
and of his " care for the preservation of undisturbed
tranquillity." In his subsequent manifesto, giving
validity to the abdication, which is not perfected.
however, until nineteen months afterwards, the late
Eli-nowt states, that, by this act the Grand Duke
CONSTANTIN& declares his consent to the Suppk-
mentor, Act respecting the succession to Me Throne,
iwhich had been granted by him (the Emperor) in the year
' 1820, and [then] acknowledge) by the Grand Duke
voluntarily and solemnly ; and [by this act of abdica-
tion he, CONSTANTINI, nowD gives new force to it [the
former act 3 as far as the same concerns him." The Act
of 1820 is spoken of as a public recorded law. Its effect
must have been to cut off from the succession to the
throne the childyen which might have been the issue of
the marriage then in contemplation, between the Grand
Duke and the Lady to whom he was so much attached,
but reserving, nevertheless, the succession to himself in
his own person.

Within two years after this marriage, however, when
the Grand Duke had probably the prospect of chil-
dren, he conceived that. ibis, their exclusion, might en.
danger the tranquillity of the Empire at a Muse period,
unless he himself should make a sacrifice of his right
to the Throne, during his life time—and the probabi-
lity of such danger was admitted by his Imperial
brother, and the resolution applauded.
But when the Grand Duke NICHOLAS was apprised
by the Senate of the secret act of abdication, of which
it appears he was not jnformed, either by his brother or
the Empress Mother, until the death of the Excretion,
he, as well as the ESIPRZSS, conceived, for the reasons
before stated, that it was invalid, and proclaimed CO*.
STANTINE without delay, and took himself, and re-
quired 'all other persons to take the oath of alle-
giance, accordingly, on the 27th November (old stile).
Two days before then, however, the Grand Duke Con-
STANTINC had received at Warsaw the news of the
demise of the late EIIPSROR, and was consequently
ignorant that his previous abdicat!on had been passed
by, and that he had been proclaimed at St.Petersburgh.
He, therefore, on the following day, commissions his bro-
ther, the Grand Duke MICHAEL, to carry immediately
to the capital the two documents confirming his former
abdication, and he salutes the Grand Duke NICUOLAS as
Emperor. The latter, however, is still uncertain how
far the measures which bad intermediately been taken,
of proclaiming CONSTASTINS, and of taking the oaths
of allegiance to his authority, might not have had in-
fluence oa his decision, had he been aware of them
when he dispatched his youngest brother from Warsaw
with his renewal abdication.

Ile hesitates, therefore, to avail himself of the latter
documents until he should again learn the repletion of
COWSTANTINE. In his manifesto of the 12th De-
cember, the Emperor NICHOLAS, on ascending the
Throne states, that he had also received this further
most inipos tont document. But no copy of it is made
public. It is not stated by whom it was received, nor is
the fact authenticated in any manner whatsoever.—

We need not, therefore, wonder at the hesitation on
the part of some of the troops, to believe the assertion,
nor at the scenes which ensued. Could there have-
been sufficient time between the arrival of the Grand
Dike MICHAU. at St. Petersburgh, who left Warsaw
on tt.e 26th of November, to dispatch an Envoy to
Warsaw, and receive an answer back by the 12th of
December, that is sixteen days for the quadruple jour-
ney ? Of this we are uncertain.
The motives for cutting off the succession of Cow-
srawrtms's future issue in the year 1820, afford much
room for speculation, into which we are unable to
eater on the pi estnt occasion.

This forenoon we received Brussels Papers to the
12th inst. ' and the Allgemeine Zeituag, to the 10th,
has reached us. The affairs of Russia form almost the
only subject on which they contain any intelligence.
One of the Brussels papers, alluding to the events, at
St. Petersburgb, says they have everywhere produced,
a great sensation. Letters from Frankfort in the Bins.
sets papers, state that the mutiny at St. Petersburgh,
was much more serious than the Berlin Journals repre-
sent it. The conflict is said to have been sanguinary,
and great agitation still prevailed in the capital.
It will be seen that on the day that Russian subjects
were taking the oath of allegiance to NICHOLAS, at
St. Petersburgh, at Odessa, the civil and military
authorities, ignorant of the 'vents in the capital, were
going through the same ceremony to CONSTANTIN&
It appears, by an article from the frontiers of Poland,
that so-late as the 28th• of December, three weeks after
the news of the death of the Emperor ALIXAWDIR
reached Warsaw, that capital had gone into mourning.
It is said, that Conteranrint still signs himself as
Grand Duke. It is also said, that he refused to see the
Procurator of the Senate, who had arrived at Warsaw
from St. Petersburgh. The following are extracts from
the Allgenwine Zeitung :

ODESSA. Dictum 26.
All the military and civil authorities here have to
day taken the oath of allegiance to the Empetor Con.
stAntine. The numerous Greeks residing here are de-
lighted at the accession of the Emperor, whose name

,they consider as a gaol omen : h.,t p•rons who pie-
tend to be acquainted with the C.►urt, acid the persuai
about ConstAntine, affiim, that whin Grand Duke
he fully approved of the system pursued by
late brother.

The German Papers cont.on some intelligence re-
specting the affairs of the Greeks. An article flu n
Trieste states, on the authority of letters from Hydra,
of the 18th inst. that Napoli di Romania is in a good
state of defence—that Missolonghi holds out bravely,
and the Capitan Pacha had not effected anything.—
Imtmuss PACHA has everywhere laid waste the Mures,
because not a single district would submit to him. Tnis
circumstance, as is well observed, clearly shews the
disposition of the people. It appears that the greatest
activity prevailed in the Turkish capital, in order tn,
give a character of additional vigour to the war. OA
the other hand, the Greeks are represented, in the
Austrian Uosenier, as so hard pressed, and be.vildered at
the same time, that they have withdrawn the most
effective part f their forces from the Yl.,rea, for the
defence of the islands, particularly Hydra and Spezzia.
The extraordinary mission appointed by the Porte to
proceed to Greece, had nit departed at the date of
these advicet. No conjecture us to the object of this
mission is hazarded ; only it is inferred, from the high
rank and distingu;shed abilities of the persons appointed
to it, that it is one of verb neat importance.
In a preceding column we have inserted some
extracts from the French Papers, relative to Russia; we
have since received the -Voile of yesterday. It contains
a letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 29th of December,
which states, that the mutiny greatly affected the
Eu 1.2110111 and lavishes great praise on the nugaani.
mity and song froid he displayed in suppressing it.,
His conduct is said to have been admired, not only by
the troops, but by the oldest Generals. During the
four hours spent in endeavouring to bring the troops to
submission, it was constantly declared on the part of
the EMPEROR, that he would grant an amnesty to the
soldiers, and pardon the Officers.

Count4Comeser is appointed Governor of St. Petersburgh, in
place of General litt.mcaoowtrscn, who was killed in the mutiny.
Letters from Warsaw of the td instant, announce that the Grand
Dubs Conseannua bad caused all the troops in the Polish capital
to take the oath of allegiance " to the Emperor NICKOLAS and him
lawful heir the Grand Duke ALmumbea." Orders had been sent
to every corps of the Army to take a similar oath.
The report which prevailed at Berlin MI the 6th inst. that two
regiments had refused to take the oath of allegiance to the Em-
peror Nscrot.as, and that Cessratrrum had caused several Offic.ers
to be shot, is without foundation.

A report was ciradated at Frankfort that the King of Saxons
was dead, bat letters front Dresden, on the contrary, state, that
his MAJIMITY was in deed health.
