"Gentlemen--You have but TWO ways "
take-either you must call all the nation 70
arms, the Senate must put itself at the head,
and ght 10 the last gasp for liberty, or you
must throw yourselves at the feet OF your ty-
rants, and resume your old chains. In the hrst
case, all the. Phihellennes will join you to con-
quer or die under the standards OF the Cross; In
the second, permit us to return to our own
country to bewailth misfortunes OF Greece"
"This discourse had such an effect on the
mind. of all the auditors, that it was resolved
upon the spot to take arms, and march against
the enemy.
"The Turks of Bulgaria, Macedonia and
Rumelia, obey the orders Of the Sultan, which
enioins them to remain embodied during the
winter; but the Albanians, who are the Serls-
kiers best troops,r return in attachments to their
own homes"

"Our Frankfort Correspondent writes US the
following letter, dated Dec. To-
yesterday evening, couriers despatched from
Warsaw and Berlin, addressed 10 the Legations
of Russia, France, and England, brought the
news of the death of His Majesty the Emperor
Alexander of Russia. This Monarch died on
his Journey in Bessarabia, in consequence Of
an erysipeas in the head, which put an end to
bis life after only two days suffering. NJ D.
Anstett, Minister from Russia to the German
Diet, has himself given positive statements on
this subject to the persons Of distinction who
waited upon him during the course Of the day
to ask him for information.
sour exchange has been to day in great
CONSERVATION. All the funds in circulation
suddenly fell several per cent. The Austrian
Metaliques were offered at 81; the shares Of
the Bank Of Vienna for LAOS, sc. A panic
terror has seized our spectators, whose per-
piexities were still farther increased when they
learnt by the last mail from Holland that the
news Of the Emperor's death was probably
known there on the l4ih, because on that day
one Of the most considerable houses had SOLD
1000 obligations (Metallique,) and denounced
all the sales for time, that the reports sudden
ly rose there to s per cent. he house ol
Rothschild here was, it is said, informed of IL
two days before the ambassadors. Lastly, peo-
pie go SO far as to say, that the death OF the
Emperor had been kept secret at st. Peters
burgh for several days, in order to give his Sue
cessor time to make the necessary preparations
for taking possession Of the reins of govern
Inent."
from the Courier Francois
"Paris, Dec. 20.-About year ago il was re-
ported that an important interview had taken
place between the Emperor Alexander and his
brother Constantine The latter had long since
declared himself in favor Of the Greeks, and
| thought the Russian armies o@ah t to march to
Constantinople: he had just urged his brother
to renoance his uncertain policy, and take a
part. The conversation was warm: Constantine
maintained that Alexander suffered the fairest
opportunity to escape him that had yet offered,
TO make himself master of the Bosphorus-
He reproached him with abandoning the ma
tional policy, and sacrificing the interest OF Rus
STA to the sef-gratifcation OF being the chief OF
the Confederation of Kings. Those reproach-
es hurt Alexander. Constantine added, that as
heir to the throne, he had right to see to the
political direct Of the Government 1t was
then, il is said, that Alexander put him in mind
that his marriage might endanser his right to
the succession.
"'rhis family dispute was not known at the
time to any but diplomatists of the first rank.
| However, the secret was not so well kept but
that it transpired, and it was spoken OF eight
or ten months ago. But in matters of this kind
there is nothing positive or proved. What is
certain is, that il has since been remarked, that
Alexander sought to attach to himself the mem
bers of the directing Senate. He seldom re-
fused them favour: al! his conduct announced
the intention Of acquiring among them pow
erful and devoted party: people talked secretly
| of ukase which was to be presented TO the Sc
nate, and by which the succession to the throne
would be secured to the Grand Duke Nicholas:
lastly, it was recollecled that The Emperor bad
always shown the greatest affection TO the lat
ter, and that he had taken care to have him
brought up in the principles of his policy
"These facts had been long circulated in Ger
many, where they gave rise to many conjec-
lures. This is the cause Of the great impress
sion produced in tina, country by the denomi-
nation of heir TO the throne & iyen to the Grand
Duke Nicholas. 1t was considered as conse-
quence of the misunderstanding supposed 10
