THE LATE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

FROM THE ETOILI, DATED MONDAY, JANUARY 23.
PARIS, JASUAILY U.
On the 2td December, at nine in the morning, the
remains of the Emperor Alexander were removed from
the .palace to the Greek Mlonaste►y of St. Alexander
Newsky : an immense crowd of the inhabitant, o
Tagaarok were present at the ceremony, and followed,
with sobs, the coffin of their august benefac►or. At
half-past eight, his Eminence Theopulus, Bishop cf
Chason and of Taturida, accompanied by the superior

The numerous Clergy of the town of Taganrok
and the environs, preceded the Bishop in pontifical
habits, and with all the pomp of religion.
A Lieutenant of the Navy, bearing the Imperial
standard, bound with black crape, and the Generals
bearing the insignia of his Majesty's Orders, walked
before the hearse. The Emperor's Confessor, accom-
panied by two Deacons, bearing 'the image, followed
them in the front of the hearse. The funeral car was
drawn by eight horses, covered with hangings of black
cloth down to the ground. The body was deposited
under a canopy of cloth of gold, richly ornamented
with fringes and tassels, in a coffin covered wish cloth
of silver, decorated with escutcheons, bearing the arms
of the Empire. The Imperial Crown was placed under
the canopy, the corners of which were borne
.by four
Generals, assisted by eight superior Officers.
The suite of the Emperor and of the Empress Eli-
zabeth immediately followed the car in mourning
cloaks, and bearing torches. Two of the Empress's
carriages, and a division of the Co.sacks of the Guard,
with mournful music, closed the procession. Various
divisions of troops were drawn up in the streets through
which the procession passed, the fortress firing minute
guns. Its the centre of the Church, an elevated stage
was erected for the coffin to be placed upon it. Four
columns supported the canopy, which was surmounted
with the Impet iat Crown, the Sceptre, and the Globe.
The Catafalque was surrounded with curtains ef .pou-
ceau coloured velvet and cloth of gold, richly orna-
monied. Four large candelabras supporting numerous
lights were placed at four corners of the stage.
When the body of the late Emperor was placed under
the catafalque, which hid been erected with all possible
magnificence, his Eininen:e performed the luneral.ser-
vice, and these religi us ceremonies will be performed
daily till the removal of the mortal remlins of the
Emperor to the capital.
Thee was a very great concourse of people, and the
universal grief may be ea-ily conceived.
The continued eading of the Gospel, hrah day and
night, and the daily celebration of D.vine.S:rvice, and
the funeral ceremonies, continue regularly. Tire lower
windows of the church Are covrit ed with black cloth, and
the arms of the Empire are placed on the three gates.:
The Journal of St. Petersburg& in an article on the
character of the late Emperor. after contra-wig the joy
with which the atutiversary rif his birth, the `'24th Dec.
had hitherto been hailed, with the general gloom and
mourning that marked its return this year, adds the fol.
lowing reflections: —" We sha 1 not undertake the 'dim-
, cult task. which is far above our ability, to have all the
glorious events of the reign of Alexander, nor shall we
.peak of the acts of a Government, which, for a quarter
of a century, daily reminded us that the reign of Alex-
ander was an inexhaustible source of benefits to his
people. These acts will be inscribed in letters of gold
in our annals, as gratitude has already engraven them
in our hearts. It wll suffice to say. that die system
adopted and invariably followed by his Imperial Majesty
was a direct application of his own exalted virtues to the
wants and the prosperity of the State. On the other
hand, the safety of our frontiers, insured by the acqui.
sition of Finland, the bounds of the Empire extended
to the Pi orb by a glori peace, concluded in the
most critical circumstances, tier Provinces conquered
horn Persia. the union ofa nergbouring nation,
which lienceiorward fraternising with Us, teuder the in-
fluence of the same sentiments towards our common
Sovereign, adds a Royal Crown to the splendor of the
Imperial Diadem, and is the brief summary of what
Alexander has done, that the dignity of the empire
abroad might correspond with so many salutary mea-
sures, tire object of allies was, its internal welfare.. But
the reign of our august Monarch does not belong ex-
clusively to the :malt of our country. The whole
world claims the glory of it, because it has shared its
blessings. Let us not be jealous of it; we have borrowed
from tne elder members of the European family, their
civiliz itioa and their manners; Alexander discharged
our debt to for:ign nations.
"It was he who conceived the sublime idea of com-
pleting the triumph of Christianity, by extending to
the mutual relations of nations the maxim* of the
Gospel, the practice of which had been too long con-
fined by the circle of private duties. The Alliance
which was formed under his auspices, between the
peat States of continental Europe, had Religion for
its basis, for its object the happiness and tranquillity
4 nations, for its means the stability restored a
thrones, for guarantee the character of its founder, as
well as the magnanimous intentions of all the august
members of it. From that time European diplomacy,
learning to see the interest of each in the great advan-
tage of ail, became the constant organ of the purest
views and the most uptight intentions. Alexander was
always the soul of his tutelary policy. He never varied
n principles, which in him were at once the result
of immoveable conviction, the fruit of a sincere piety.
and the impulse of a tender benevolence, which would
willingly have extended itself to tire whole human race:
