P.ARIs, Dec "a.
A letter from Warsaw, dated Dec. y, states as
follows:
The first news Of the illness of the Emperor
was alarming, that 1t caused at ST. Petersburg a
feeling Of anxiety, which was seen in evey face.
The population fastened TO the churches, where
public prayers had been ordered They enlarged on
all the particulars of this fatal journey. Ii was
feared that the life of the Empress was in danger
but no conceived the least alarm for that Of a
Prince in the prime Of life. They repeated all the
particulars of the illness; his refusal of the adv

itself, during which the Emperor tore off all the sy

tentions of the physicians that he had confessed
hmself-that he had communicated and that they
had hopes OF saving him.

the silence which accompanied it. She tainted

was shut up in his palace, ana manifested no wish
TO receive bny one; wish that the army Senate
Should come 10 salute their Emperor. The only
order which he give was that the Grand Duke
Michael should Immediately proceed to ST. Peters

A most affecting spectacle was presented in the
contrast afforded by the mournfll ard voluntary
