The winter in England was very YIN
like that in this country. 1t was unusu-
allg severe. Somuch snow fell, that IN
many parts of the country, the people
had to turn cut to clear passage tor
the nail coach.
The winds had prevailed from the
East at Liverpool, which had prevented
vessels from getting in. There had been
no arrivals at Liverpool for several days.
The Com. Barry stopped at st. Croix
two days.
The panic in the money market had
nearly ceased, and commercial conf
dence in fair way of being fully esta.
hlished. This is highly satisfactory
news, and we hope it may have saluta-
ry effect on the money conc erns OF this
country.
The Captain reports that the Arch
Duke Constantine had positively resign
ed the Crown of Russia IN favour of his
brother Nicholas, and states that the
news was confirmed by Off al Despatch
es to the Russian Minister in London.
BY the above, it appears that Constan'
tine has actually resigned the Empire in
favour OF his brother Nicholas, and if the
fact be true as related, there is some
thing in II which we are at a loss to com
prehend.-It cannot be that { Constantine
gives UP the throne, because he is better
satisfied with his rank of Arch Duke. -
The days Of Charles V. have long since
past, and has experience is not likely to
have much influence on the Russian
Noble Like Esau. to be sure, he sold
his bisai,-right; but unlike him he reco-
vered it; and some powerful motive,
either of fear or of reward, must have
been held out, toinduce him to resign
it.-lt has been suggested that the crown
of Poland, with the expectancy of the
sceptre Of 'Constantinopie, was the price
of the imperial dadem OF the Russias.
fhfs however, we can scarcely believe TO
be the ease.-Constantine, indeed, might
81 securely on the throne of the SGbies-
ks. but we much doubt. whether the
prophecy OF his mother, or the arms OF
his countrymen, could obtain for him
the long established rights of tne Sultans.
In this matter as Utmost others, Eng lard
will have a say, and it is any thing but
her interest to allow the dissolution Of
the Ottoman Empire; and although ihe
power of Russia might be sufficient to
effect the object. il the Turks alone OPP
posed il, yet were an English feet once
TO take post in the straits of Constant
nople as the allies Of ~ultan, the hopes
Of Constantine in this quarter would be
al once rendered vain. and all exertions
to support them nugatori We wait
with impotence until further light rs
thrown upon this subject. Belt Gag.
BRAZII.S.-The schr Gen. Putnam,
at New York FROM Para. whence she
sailed on the q 18th January, brought in
formation that the government was very
unsettled, and the BraEilians in the IN
terror were in state of Instruction
Troops were sent out BY the Emperor
against them, daily, according to The in
formation by the General Putnam: and.
if the fact be as stated, it only goes to
prove what we have often before ex.
pressed, that the government of Don
PEDRO is not so popular among bis sub
jects, as it might have been under differ
ent auspices 10.
FROM CHILL The ship Uilliam

Gloucester, massachusetts, from Val

that country, TO the seventh o: Novem-
