at the accession of the Emperor, whose name
they consider as good omen; but persons who
pretend to be acquainted with the Court and
the persons about the Emperor Constantine,
affirm that when Grand Duke he fully approx
ed the system pursued by his late brother.
"From the Polish Frontiers, Jan. 1.-The CAPT
tai of Poland had not gone into mourning up
to December %. for the Emperor Alexander,
and it was not till that day that the Warsaw
Gazette contained the notice of his DEATH
While all the orders from St Petersburgh-
for instance, those relative to the taking the
oath bv the Russian subjects-are issued in the
name of the Emperor Constantine the First,
that Prince still calls and signs himself as
Grand Duke, and forbids those about him to
give him the title of ma lesty On the arrival
of the news of the Emperor's death, which the
young Count Gurlero presented to him kpeei-
ing, addressing him with the title OF Sire,
Prince Constantine refused the title with dis
pleasure, and shut himself up with his escort
in his private apartments, where he has been
almost ever since, inaccessible to every body.
soon after the departure OF the Grand Duke
Michael for St. Petersburgh, the Grand Duke
also sent his aid-de-camp V Karuta, who pos
sesses his entire confidence On the otner
hand, the Procurator Of the Directing Senate
came from st. Pelersburgh TO Warsaw. and
was not admitted to see the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, but was soon sent back TO st. Peters
burgh, as il is said, with formal repetition OF
hi, preceding remuneration. We are now i'm
patient for the return of the Grand Duke Mi
chael, or at least Of NJ V. Karuta, when we
shall know our future destiny During the i'll
ness of the Emperor Alexander at Taganrok,
the Grand Duke Constantine received several
couriers daily, with particular accounts OF the
health Of his beloved brother
"Eenna, Jan. 4-The Court Gazette announ-
ces that Prince Paul Esterhazy is not to go Am
London, and Count Appony is to go 10 Paris,
and not 10 London"
The dislike which Constantine entertains to
the Prussians, arose from the representations of
his misconduct at Berlin, which were made to
the Emperor Alexander, and which produced
reproof on the part OF that Monarch, as just
as it was merited 1t has been reported, a
mong other things, that Constantine strangled
woman Of the town Of Berlin. This is not
true. The affair in question consisted in his
brutality in ordering his Guards TO enter the
apartments OF i kept mistress, who was I'M
faithful to him, and 10 administer the knout to
her and her paramour. This was brutal enough
but not quite so bad as strangling.-Du6hn pa

NoN-oFFlCIAL PART.
Paris, Jan. Awe are authorised formally
to contradict the news given by some Journals,
of delay in opening OF the Session, which will
take place on the Slst Of this month, the day
fixed in the Royal Ordinance.
We have positive information that the price
of corn sold by foreign traders in the ports of the
kingdom of Morocco, during the month Of No
vember last, was 90 francs per hectolitre two
and half Winchester bushelS,) but that the
great scarcity OF grain, and the difficulty Of car
riage caused by the mortality among the
camels, which die for want Of food, caused the
price TO rise excessively in the interior OF the
empire, and that letters from Fee state that the
price there was three times as high as al Tan
gier, that is to say, 81 francs per hectolitre
The drought, which still continues, gives rea-
son to presume, that the dreadful misery which
now prevails, must increase during the winter
the Few resources which the country possessed
decreasing daily. These circumstances cause
a rise IN the price Of grain at Trieste and other
alien ports.
From the Quotld!enne
Paris, Jan ia courier who left st Peters
burg on the 2Sth Of December, arrived at the
Hotel of the Russian Legation to-day. Atthat
time, no uneasiness was felt respecting the dis
positions of the garrison at that capital.
There is no news from Warsaw, and the Ger
man papers do not say word OF what Is pass
ing in Poland.
Letters from The North speak of several ar
rests having taken place at 81. Petersburgh, in
consequence of the events Of the 26th Prince
Cat is mentioned among the persons ar
rested.
From the Courier Francois
When the Proc iamation of Constantine was
known at Paris, the Russian Ambassador has.
tened to call together all persons OF his nation
to make them take the oath to the new Empe-
ror. Now that the Proclamation OF Nicholas
is known, in manner equally official, people
are astonished that the Russian Ambassador
has not caused new oath to be taken to that
Prince. II seems that experience has rendered
him circumspect, and that the aspect oil affairs
makes him feel that there might be danger IN
being in too great hurry.

Paris, Jan. l4.-Cons.antne was influenced
