and it is thought that the event will give
new aspect to the war.
From the Liverpool European Times, Saturday, A. M.
This event was announced to Parliament
last night by the Ministers of the Crown as
having taken place, and the sensation which
it produced in both branches of the Legisla.
ture was MOB greater than that which 1t will
cause throughout Europe and the world. Or
the certainty of the Emperos's death no
doubt need be entertained. Lord John Rus
sell, who is now in the Prussian Capital,
first telegraphed home that he had been
struck by apoplexy-was on the point OF
death. and had just taken leave OF his family.
This was shortly followed by another tele.
graphic message from the British Minister at
Berlin, to the effect that he actually expired
at st. Petersburg. yesterday morning, at

I that the Emperor of Russia had died this
forenoon between twelve aud one O'Clock, OF

Lord John Russell had previously, this
morning, sent a telegraphic message from
Berlin, informing the British government
that the Emperor of Russia was at the point
Of death, and that his Majesty had taken
leave of his family.
r The Emperor's decease must, no doubt, ex-

upon The war; and upon the negotiations for
peace now being carried on at Vienna.
There can be no doubt Of the authenticity
of this intellige nee, as the information has,
also, been transmitted TO the British govern
ment from Bucharest and Vienna.
