From the Courier FrdncGis1
When the Proclamation of Constantine was
known at Paris, the Russian Ambassador fastened
to call together all persons Of HE nation, to make
them AXE the oath to the new Emperor. Now
that the Proclamation of Nicholas is known, in a
manner equally official, people are astonisbed that
the Russian Ambassador has not caused new oath
TO be taken to that Prince. Il seems that expert
ence has rendered him circumspect, and that the
aspect of affairs makes him feel that there might be
danger in being in too great hurry.
From Journal DIES De6ats.1
PARIS, Jan. l4.-Constantine was Influenced

Mother and his brother imposed on him The cond-

to bis marriage. The contract was forced on him.
and he only accepted it because violent passjot
subdued him. He might, in fact, also, as there
was only two years difference between the bro

nearly equal; and he might also suppose, in case of
surviving him, hat he might be released from a
rendnciation, on account Of marriage which was
not at all opposed to the old prejudices of the Rus
