noltic al importance had occurred, unless credit
be due to the reported abdlcatlon OF the EmPe-
ror Constantine, which is given in the Paris
papers, although without any claim for its Gre
dibility. 1t is fact, however, that all direct
communication from Warsaw had been i'm
NEEDED. if not suspended; and that Constantine
was still there on the oath of Dec. many days
after the death of Alexander was known. These
circumstances probably afford the only founda-
ton for the rumour. The ST. Petersburg Off.
cial journal. of the 10th Nov. states that all the
constituted authorities, including the Grand
Duke Nicholas himself, had taken the oath OF
allegiance to Constantine.

Extract of letter. dated
"Havre, Jan. I'd, ls26.lt is reported that
Constantine has abdicated in favor of his bro
Their Nicholas If this be true, what becomes
Of all the reports in alusion to him upon the
death Of Alexander? The story has at all events
caused an advance Of the public funds. We
shall soon know the fact.
"rhere is nothing new here in the way Of
trade. Havre has been fortunate the last year.
The improvements making are immense: those
completed are great.
Expectations carried most Of our vessels
last year to Liverpool, and the consequence was
that this market was generally the best.?'
