NEW YoRK, March II, 1855.
The Athzantic arrived out at Liver.
pool on the p. M. of the 4th.
The death of Gear Nicholas is confirm
ed. He died shortly after noon on Fri
day, March the I'd. His death was
from atrophy of the lungs, after, only a
few days sickness. His last words to the
Empress were, tell Frederick, the King
of Prussia, to continue attached. te
Russia, as he has hitherto been, and
never forgot his fathers words. 1t is
said hat a few days before his death
the Gear succeeded in ~effeeting a COM
plete reconciliation between his two elder
sons, Alexander and Constantine, who
were at variance.
News of the Emperor's death was re-
ceived in England with every demon
stration of joy. In several of the thea
tres the managers came before the cur
tain and announced the fact, which was
received in most instances with tumultu-
GUS cheering, and some of the people
were disappointed that TIE authorities
did not ring the church bells.
At Vienna, the news caused mich ag-
itation. An order of the day by the
Emperor of Austria directs that in ac-
acknowledgements for service rendered
with noble eageness by the Emperor
Nicholas, during a time of unfortunate
trials, tie Nicholas regiment of Cuiras-
siers should always preserve that name
as a souvenir in the Austrian army.
At Paris the Police arrested the Bal
lad singers for chanting verses disre-
spectful to the dead Gear. :
A telegraph from Berlin, of the 9th,
states that the Emperor Alexander H.,
who has succeeded quietly to the throne,
has issued a manifesto In which he prom
ises to adhere tothepolicy of his father
The Grand Duke Constantine and other
officials, had formerly taken the oath OF
allegiance to Alexander, and the whole
garrison was to do so on the Sd. Am
bassadors had been despatched to Wen
ma and Berlin to announce the new En-
peror's accession to the throne. A syn
opsis of Alexander's manifesto is receiv
ed via Konnigsburg. He declares the
welfare of his only object that he will
endeaver to maintain Russia in the
highest standard of power and glory,
and viii aim to accomplish the incessant
wishes and views of his predecessor, and
hopes the zeal of his subjects will es-
sist him therein. SIS
Immediately on the death of Nicho-
las being known in Paris orders were
sent to Canrobert to push on the siege
Sebastopol with the utmost vigor.

New York, March 8

NEW YORK, March so,
The manifesto issued by the new En-
peror of Russia, is of an inspiring char
actcr, referring to the endeavor of his
father to improve the condition of his
troops, and declaring his adherence to
his fathers plans, in this respect, to the
largest extent. The manifesto con-
cludes thus: MAY the sacred memo
ry of Nicholas survive in our ranks a
terror to the foe and for the glory of
Russia" ~ .a
Various rumors and statements as to
the last moments. of Nicholas are circu-
lated among them are, that he advised
Alexander to make peace, even at the
sacrifice of Russian influence in the
Black Sea, as Nicholas had not believed
in the Anglo French Alliance.
This is regarded as doubtful,

Fate of Sir John franklin.

An additional CLEAN OF Ugh has beer
cast over the probable fate of the Frank
lin Expedition by au Exquimaux, named
Mastitukwin, who accompanied DR..
Rae's party, aud who has been for many
years a member of the Wesleyan con,
~gregation at Rossville, In Hudson's Bay.
DIR. Rae has always considered this ma
tive highly efficient and trustworthy.
On his return to Rossville, the Exqui-
maux stated, that he wintered with
his party in a snow house, where they
had six weeks constant night. In
March (I854) they started, on the ice,
to the north, and were thirty-seVen days
on their northern journey. They were
100 miles beyond the region inhabited
by the Exquimaux, but they still found
the tracks of the musk OK. Sir John
Franklin and his party are dead but,
perhaps, one or two of the men may still
be alive, and amongst the Exquimaux.
Sir Johns watch, all in pieces, with his
silver spoons, knives and forks, were
found. The ship was a great god send to
these people; and they now all have
good sledges, spears, cannoes, &c, of
oak wood. DIR. Rae and his party did
not see any of the remains of Sir. John
and his party but the Exquimaux in,
formed him that Sir John was found
dead, with his blanket oyer him and his
gun by his side. The probability is,
that it is not more than two or three
years since the party persisted by hun
