full length. On the same day the regiments OF

was soon ascertained the Moscow regiments
made difficulties. Two companies OF Grena-

racks with the colors, and proclaimed Constan-

where it was soon augmented by party OF the
dregs of the populace, some soldiers and ma
rines Of the guards. No other colps took part
in the scdirion, and it appears that the number
of rebels did not exceed 5000 men. Gen Milo

The greatest repentance and obtained their par

four hours which were passed in parleying be-

number of the rebels augmented very little; and
it is most probable that the greater part were
rather misled than culpable.
