A controversy has been revived in New
York, in regard TO the cause Of the death OF
the Emperor Alexander, the father Of the late
Gar, Nicholas. II was alleged by some at
the time, that he died Of poison. Col. Webb,
editor of the New York Courier, has imbibed
the prevailing idea of Englishmen Oh this
subject, and has asserted and attempted to
prove that Alexander died of poison. But
the Russian Consul General in New York,
has in note addressed TO Col. Webb, pro-
nouncei the assertion to be- "a deliberate,
wanton and unmitigated falsehood," and he
adds that Alexander died Of the Black Sea
fever, fatal disorder, he says, which the allies
will soon become acquainted with.
The following statement from an American
gentleman Of responsibility, who resides in
New York, throws some lightupon this point
Of history, to wit:
II see it averrcd in the Courier and En-.
quirer that the Emperor Alexander died nj
Taganrog BY poison. This is perfectly ab-
surd. was in st. Petersburg at the time OF
his DEATH and about year after. often saw
and dined with Sir James Wiley, n Scotch
man, his favorte physician, who was with
him at TagahfUs. 1also knew Others Of his
suite. Sir James told me that the Emperor
was much exposed several hours one rainy
day, and in a cold, raw wind, riding about and
inspecting Government works The result
was, he took n severe cold, to which he would
pay no attention, but kept out rs usual for
several days aiterward, Inflammation of the
throat and chest set in, and as the Emperor
obstinateIy persisted in refusing medicine till
too late, he died, after short illness lie had
strong constitution, was of very robust
health, and, ms is common with such persons,
was rather prejudiced against taking medicine,
relying on his constitution TO Garry him
through. The Empress was with him, and
assiduonsly devoted all through his illness,
although she WIS in delicate health at the
time, and had been for several years. She
followed him to the grave few months after.
There cannot be greater absnrdlty than TO
attribute Ills death TO poison"

w- Mr.. Soule in one of his letters to I

~ Mr.. Soule in one of his letters to the
State Department, makes some singular dis
closures. Hc says that Louis Napoleon, be-
fore his celebrated coup deal which placed
him at the head of an empire, had eoncoeted
with General Narvaez, the Spanish minister,
the plan of mission to the United States, to
sound how far this country was vulnerable in
II military point Of view. A secret agent was
TO be sent with instructions prepared by the
Department Of Foreign Affairs. These in
struetions, duly signed, were presented to
Napoleon Bonaparte, the son OF Jerome, with
a tender Of what amount of money no might
require to carry them ont. The latter refus-
ed, telling Louis Napoleon that he was not
the man for such work; that he was dc.
mocrat, aud would rather be with the United
States than with him. The matter was drop.
ped, and has not been resumed since, at least
to the knowledge Of Mr., Soule's informant.
Mr.. Soule himself appears 10 have full faith
in the statement.

Of the wees, was conformed to with re.
markable degree Of strictness. The observ.
ance of the day, instead Of being partly spir-
