night German papers, from which we make the
following extracts:
"Stufeord. Dec. 23.-The Court has gone into
mourning to-day, on account OF the death OF
his Majesty the Emperor Alexander The
Stuteard Court Gazette gives US the same par
ticulars that we have already communicated to
our readers. only it adds that it was on the 9th
when the disorder had reached the height, that
the Emperor took the Sacrament, and that he
died on the lst of Dec. at so minutes past 10
O'Clock
"Carlsruhe, Dec. 22.-The Court goes into
mourning for six weeks, for the Emperor OF
Russia, whose untimely loss is equally depor-
ed BY all classes in our country, 10 whose pros,
perity he so powerfully contributed. The grief
of the venerable Princess who lives among us,
is the more severe, as this short period, the
death of the Emperor of Russia having so soon
followed that of the king Of Bavaria.
"I1enna. Dec 2o-The following is the first
notice taken by our Journals OF the death OF the
Emperor of Russia 1t is in the Austrian Ob-
server:
Con the 4th Of this month, with the rapidlty
with which great, and especially melancholy e.
vents are generally spread abroad, reports were
circulated Of the wholly unexpected death oil
his Majesty the Emperor Of Russia. Reports
from the Austrian Consular Agent at Warsaw,
of the 9Th inst first contained notice that the
Enperor Alexander had died on the Sd at la
ganroe of a short illness, and that the city oil
Warsaw was in conservation, though the caus-
&c of i, wa. not publicly owned. There were,
therefore, many reasons to hope that the news
might res, on false report circulated at War
saw. Nothing was said Of any act OF the new
government and every thing made II our duty to
wait for either confirmation OF the important
news. or for the wished for refutation OF 1t.
"Unhappily, the affair has since assumed
form which hardly permits us to doubt, that
the Monarch, whose name fills one OF the most
glorious places in the Book of History, is taken
| from his people and from the world. Between
the night of the 18th and the morning OF the
nth no news was received that had the slight
es, reference to the melancholy event. silence
which but too much induced people to fear its
truth On the 18th, the Merchants Of this City
received accounts from Leipzig, dated the
l4th, referring to accounts received on the 18th.
at Berlin, from Warsaw, and coinciding with
the report of the Austrian Consular Agent OF
the 9th. Accounts from the Legation at Ores,
den confirmed, on the same day, the arrival OF
those accounts at Berlin.
"To day (the l9thl further reports have at
length been received from Warsaw, which
stare the lst December as the day OF the En-
perors death, and add the following clrcum-
starces:-
"The news o. his Majesty's death, after IA
DAYS illness, is said to have reached on the 7th
his natural successor, the Grand Duke Con-
s,antine, Who sent on the 9th his brother, the
Grand Duke Michael, to St. Petersburgh Up
to the 10th December, no act OF the new TO
yernment had taken place at Warsaw; 1t was
there affirmed, that the first acts OF the new
Emperor will issue from St. Petersburgh.-
The repor, of the Emperos's death was spre ad
til rough the whole kingdom OF Poland on the
l4th, and will certainly be heard in all parts Of
Europe with the same feelings with which we
notice i, in this journal. "-.7ustrian Obs
