RUSSIA-S Petersburg. December 1.-THE
Grand Duke Michael, who arrived last night
from Warsaw, has dissipated all the rumcurs
which were in circulation rcla:ive to the de
parture OF the Grand Duke Constantine. At
the period OF the marriage of the Grand Duke
Constantine with the daughter OF a private Pc.

opposed toit, obtained from the Emperor de.
cislOn, by virtue OF which, in contracting this
alliance, Constantine was to renounce his right
to the throne in favor Of the Grand Duke Nj
cholas. The act Of remuneration was prepared,
consented to, and signed by Constantine, and
was sealed and deposited, in three COPIES; that
is to say, one with the Senate, one with the Sy.

the Empire. This secret act was not to be open.

was known, the pacquet was officially opened;
but, from respect tor the hereditary rights OF
his eldest brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas
declared Immediately that he renowned the
privilege OF the act in question, and that he
would take the oath Of fidelity to the Emperor
Constantine the First. The Senate, the grand
disnltaries OF the empire, and the troops fol
lowed this example. and from that moment,
nothing was thought of but the arrival of the
new sovereign. But the latter, faithful TO the
arrangement which had been consented to by
him, did not think of quitting Warsaw. where
he was preparing to recognize the Emperor,
Nicholas the First. He waited to receive his
orders, without which he did not consider that
he ought to leave his residence. This singular
state of things lasted until the arrival at War.
