It is reported in the City this forenoon, that intelli.
Pence has peen rcceiv.:d from St. Pttersburgh, of a
mutiny in the Grand Duke CONSTANTINR% regiment.
It is said that on learning that this Prince had abdicated
t' e ill, one, the suldiers became dissatisfied, and, refusing
to take the oath of allegiance to the Grand Duke Nr-
cttott.s, revolted ; that coercive measures were resorted
to.; but it was not until several lives were lost that the
regiment was !educed to subordination. It is further
stated, some of the ringleadtrs were taken, and shot.

'Being this morning without a single arrival (torn the
Continent, we have no information on which we can
stiictly depend as to the causes which have induced the
Emperor CONSTANTINII to abdicate tie throne of Rus-
sia, to which he has not only succeeded as lawful heir,
but by the declaration of the Russian Senate, and the
adhesion of the civil and military authorities. Sonte.of

the renunciation of an imperial throne as a voluntary
act.on the- part of CONSTANTINE, rather than be sepa-

to ns satisfactory. and if either is the true cause, this
