HA 11BURG H, JAL 6.

By several couriers from Berlin, arrived here this
morning at an early hour, we have been informed of a
mutiny broken out amongst a .part of the garrison of
the Russian capital. That fatal event is reported as
follows :—" To take the oath of allegiance to the
Emperor Nicholas, all the Regiments of the Guards
had been ordered out to their respective alarm-posts,
each separately. This ceremony having been per-
formed by several regiments, the Emperor came also
to that bearing the name of the Nloscovite Regiment,
and called on it to fulfil the same duty ; but instead of
prompt compliance therewith, its Colonel advanced,
and objected they had 11,1 been yet released of their
oath sworn to Constantine about tout teen days before.
After some altercation with this Colonel, who solicited
at least a delay till the next day, the Emperor ordered
General Miloradowitsch to advance instantly with two
other regiments and disarm the rebels; but when they
had come musket sho', the rebels fired a volley
out them, by which a great number were killed or
wounded. A vigorous attack en the rebels now cons
menced, and they were subdued-after a severe contest,
which also cot many live s of that part of the people
that had joined them. The General Miloradowitsch is
said to haste been killed by a pistol-shot fired on him
by a man in a black civil habit. After the restoration
of order, a le Leon was sung in all the Churches.
According to another repot I, it was the Count Alexis Or-
loff who restored the tranquillity of the Russian c
We have this day received, per an extraordinary
couritr, the very important intelligence of an insurrec-
tion having broken out in St. Petersburgh. The Guards
were ordered to swear allegiance to the Emperor Ni-
cholas, which they refused. The consequence was, that
General Milorallowitsch and three other Generals, to-
gether with the Minister at War, were shot. The troops
fought with artillery, and tranquillity is said to be re-
stored, but it is very much doubted. We may expect to
receive still further important news, as the army seems
inclined only to acknowledge Constantine as Emperor.

The island of Porto Rico was nearly destroyed by an
earthquake and hurricane at the end of July ; nine
towns were entirely demolished ; the Government
House was much injured, and the bridge of St. An-
tonio destroyed, as also the castle. •

Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the
King of PIitTIOIA, to his Barran= BLIMST, jointly with Mr. N.

Most of the Public are busy digesting the Manifesto of the Em-
peror of RUSSIA, upon which various feelings are put forth, parti-
cularly amongst the Bulls and Bears] on the Stock Exchange, each
of them, according to their own interest. ' The Bears say it is a
political 111111CCIIIIIS of CONSTANTIWIL, to cloak some future grand
operation of his. The Butts assert, that NICHOLAS is firmly seated
on the Throne, and the tranquillity of the Russian Empire will not
be disturbed in future. At all events, the Manifesto has not had
any effect on the Funds.
Consols opened this morning at 82j to I for the Account, and for

In the STAR of yesterday we gave the substance of
the long-expected documents from St. Petersburg!),
explanatory of the change in the ordinary course of
suciession to the Imperial Throne of Russia, and we
now present them to our Readers at length.
From these papers the following points may be
collected

Ist. That in April, 18'20, when the divorce of the
Grand Duke Constantine from his first wife took place,
an,' Act of Siccession" was executed by the late Em-
Iperor Alexander, to which the Gland Duke solemnly
and voluntarily assented. There is no question that the
intent and meanipg of this act was, is conformity with
'the laws of the Imperial House, to cut off from the
succession to the empire, the children who might be
born of the marri rge then in contemplation between
the Grand Duke CONSTANTIta and his present consort,
It is equally certain that this act of succession was so
registered or perfected, that it became valid as a law
of the State.

2d. It appears that on the 14th January, 1822, the
Grand Duke CONITANTINC, applied to the Emperor
And the Empress Mother,whose consent, it would seem,
is also necessary, for leave to renounce the succession in
his own person, as well as in that of his posterity, which
was provided in the former act of 1820: and this re-
quest was immediately complied with, but under the
seal of secrecy ; which secrecy was to be preserved until
the Emperor's death ; because, in the course of events,
it might have happened that the Emperor himself
would have had children to succeed, in which case
there would be no necessity for promulgating the sacri-
fice made by the Grand Duke.
3J. It appears that the Supplementary Act of Suc-
cession, consequent on this renunciation, was not per-
fected until the 16th of August, 1823, at which time
those documents were deposited under seal, in quadru-
plicate, in the archives of the four different depart-
ments specified in the Act, and were not to be opened
until the death of the Ememton.

4th. It appears that NICHOLAS, the person thus de•
dared the legal successor to the Throne, was totally
ignorant of the fact, and was not even made aware of
his situation by his mother, the Empress MARIA, even
when the news of his brother's decease arrived.

sth. It also appears that the Grand Dike NICUOLAS-1
conceived that the latter act had not the sanction ssf
law, by reason that it had never been promulgated un-,
til it should he voluntarily confirmed by the second re-
nunciation of CONSTANTIN', which was, however, also'
executed on the instant that news of the demixe of
ALESANDZA reached Warsaw, two days before it was
known in St. Petersburgh, and therefore the abdication
has the appearance of being perfectly unsolicited and
spontaneous. Whether such was really the case, time
must determine : the event, however, affords ground
for much speculation, and we shall take an early op-
portunity of returning to the subject. In the mean
time we have in another column inserted t e bxerva-
tions of some of our Contemporaries on this singular

tnci dnetpeeted change in the Sovereignty tit I mighff
Empire.

This forenoon we received Frankfort Journals td the
Bth instant. • They contain nothing new from Russia;
but give long extracts from the Oriental Spedatot, and
from si private letter from Smyrna, respecting the •
destined operations of IBRAHIM PACHA. Although
these are questionable channels for information; yet
there is no doubt that the Egyptian leader has ad
!alarming force in the Mozea, with which he is proceed
ing against Missolonghi. These accounts represent the
Greek fleets as unable to eve with those of the Turks;
whose new courage has been screwed up it appears by
the Pa:ha placing a man on board of each ship, win'
has orders to strike off the head of the Captain if hO
fails in his duty ! A French vessel, the Adelaide, is
said to have been plundered off fthodes, by a Greek
brig; a Greek, accused of piracy, was publicly be
headed, by order of the Pacha. The following are
extracts:

FRANKFORT, JAIL 6.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM SNIltitNA, DEC. ?..

We have learnt by vessels from the Morea, that the
Egyptian squadron sailed from Navarin on the 16th
November, with 8,000 men, for Missolonghi. Ibrahim
Pacha bad set out on the 17th, with a corps of troops,
and it is affirmed, that his intention was to go to Patras,
and thence to proceed also against Missolonghi, which,
lit is probable, will not be able to hold ont long.
Ibrahim Pacha has at present in the Morea, 20,000
regular troops, 2,000 cavalry, and 10,000 Albanian
volunteers. The Greeks seem to be entirely demora-
lized. The Greek squadron seemed disp-sed to attack
the Turkish fleet, but the Egyptians put it to flight.—
There is on board every Egyptian ship, a man appointed
by the Pacha, who has orders to cut off the Captain's
head, if he does not do his duty. . ,

Soliman I3ey had left Modon, with 4,000 men; for
Tripolizza.

The greatest distress prevailed in the Morea, espe-
cially at Napoli di Romania, where all the supplies
received from Europe had been seized upon, by some of
the principal intriguers.

EXTRACT FROM THE ORIENTAL SPECTATOR.
SMYRNA, Monists 2.

Ibrahim Pacha set out from Modon on the morning
of the 17th November, with 8000 foot and 1000 horse,
for Missolonghi. The Ottoman fleet, after taking on
board 8000 regular troops, has sailed for the same
place. Thus the islanders have been twice deceived
respecting the intentions of the son of the Viceroy; for,
according to all the information they had, and which
had been transmitted to them from Egypt, they were
persuaded that the last expedition from Egypt would
attack Hydra, whereas it went directly to Navarins
then they were perstraded that from Modon and Na-
varin the army and the fleet would proceed to Napoli
di Romania, and the whole of the land and naval forces
are gone against Missolonghi.

We yesterday gave from the Jamaica Papers, the
substance of the Duke of MANCHISTER'S Speech, on
opening the House of Assembly, in which his Grace
urged the entering on that coarse for the amelioration
of the Slaves, which more than two years ago was re-
commended by his Majesty's Ministers. In the address
of the House, in answer t this speech, the Assembly
state that they will continue to give their " most serious
attention to the improvement of the Slave population,"
and that they "are disposed to do all that can be done
with safety in that respect."
The addressers, however, add that they are "the best
judges how far to go without hazard," and that " cer-
tain proprietors residing in England (who are unac-
quainted with the subject which they have undertaken
to advise upon) has excited expectations in his Ma-
jesty's Government, which lead them to impute their
conduct to want of inclination rather, than to the dic-
tates of prudence and discretion."
The Council, in their Address, alluding to the same
subject, observe, " The Council have on all occasions
expressed their earnest desire to improve the condition
of the slave population—that desire remains unabated."

The Skye Esidence Bill had been brought into the
Assembly, but it had made little or no progress on the
22d of November, which was three weeks after the
opening of the Assembly.
A Sermon preached by the Lord Bishop ofJAMA ICA
was ordered to be printed, for the admirable recliner in
which it recemmeuded compliance with the wishes of
Government, with a due regard to the interests of the
planters, and the careful avoiding of all wild and vi-
sionary plans. A vote of 3,0001. was also passed to Mr.
M'QuEza, of the Glasgow Courier " as a testimony of
the high sense which the House entertained of the va-
luable and unsolicited services he had rendered by his
writings to the cause of justice and the West India
Colonies."

We are extremely happy to-say the LORD CHANCEL..
tan is nearly recovered from his indisposition, the gout having
nearly left the Noble and Learned Lord.
