capt. Cratree, from London, and Al
days from the Downs, anchored in Ii amp
ton Roads, on the 9th March. The
Richmond sailed from London on the
Goth, and the Downs on the 25th of jan
uary. Extracts from London papers to
the 18th January, are given in the Nor
folk Beacon.
The Thames had been frozen up, and
was SO full of drift ice as to completely
obstruct the navigation for ten days pre-
vious TO the sailing of the Richmond.
1t appears now to be put beyond a
doubt, that Constantine has abdicated the
throne OF Russia. The official docu-
ments relating 10 the abd,cation, are said
10 have reached London. A series OF
official documents from ST. Petersburg,
published in the Berlin Gazette, ate i
the resignation of Constantine, and the
accession of his brother, under the tile
OF NICHOLAS |. 1t was the general inn
preston al London, that had Constan-
tine remained Emperor OF Russia, be
would have marched an army into Tur-
key. Nicholas, it is coDlec,ured, will
pursue the same policy which the late
Emperor did.
The following extracts contain all the
further political Information from Rus
STA that we find. A number of packets
are now due at New York, which are
dolly expected in. BY the arrival oil
these we will probably learn who Is aclu-
ally Emperor of Russia; whether he
succeeded to the throne peaeesbly or,
whether more than one was willing to
receive The imperial diadem.

A courier who left ST. Petersburg on
the 29h December, arrived at the Hotel
OF the Russian Legation day. A, that
Time no uneaslness was lett respe cling
the dispositions OF the gArrisons o. that
capital.
There is no news from Warsaw, and
the German papers do not say word OF
what is passing IN Poland.
Letters from the north speak OF seve-
raj arrests having taken place a, ST. Pc
iersburg, in consequence OF the events oil

toned among the persons arrested.
Quot;dienne
When the Proclamation Of Constan-
tine was known at Paris, the Russian
ador fastened to call together all
persons Of bis nation, to make them take
the oath to tbs new Emperor. Now thai
the Proclamation of Nicholas is known,
in manner equally official, people are
aslonished that the Russian Ambassador
has noi caused new oath 10 be taken to
that Prince. 1t seems that experience
has rendered him circumspect, and that
the aspect Of affairs makes him feel that
there might be danger in being in too
great bury Courier Francais.

rious than the Berlin Journals represent.
ODESSA, DEC. 25.
All the military and civil authorities
here have 10 day taken the oath OF allie
glance to the Emperor Constantine.
The numerous Greeks residing here are
delighted at the accession Of the Empe-
ror, whose name they consider as good
omen; but persons who pretend 10 be
acquainted with the Court, and the per-
sons about the Emperor Constantine, af-
firm that when Grand Duke he fully ap-
proved the system pursued by his late
brother.
January l4.-Withoutwaiting for Con-
stantine's answer to the message amour
