1t appears by the papers that the Emperor
of Russia. at the last accounts from ST. Pc
tersburgh, was seriously sick. Bulletins of
his situation were regularly published. His
death in the present state Of things in Eu.
rope, would. in our opinion. be great calam-

that large portion of Armenia is proposed
to bs coded for that purpose. lfthis be true,
