THURSDAY MORNING. MARCH %, 1855


enable us to issue on our regular publ
cation day this week. We received our pa
per on Tuesday evening Very few Of our
subscribers will be disappointed, however;
for, as the mails are now carried, many of
our country friends will receive the paper
as soon as if it had been issued on the reg
ular day. Our delay has enabled us to give
much highly important news received since
Tuesday morning; so that, on the whole,
the delay will prove an advantage to sub
scribers, though an inconvenience to our.
self We shall try to avoid similar occur
rences hereafter.
THE FoREIGN NEws.--Two steamers
have arrived since our las, issue. An ab.
slrac. Of the news may be found in another
column. The news brough. Dy the Africa
is Of The highes, importance.
The death Of Emperor Nicholas, Of Rus.
siaw doubted by many, a, first. We
had many doubts on The subjec, ourself IL
was conwadic,ed on the ground that the
Russian Minister a. Washington had receiv-
ed no intelligence Of Ihe fact. But as lhe
news was only received in England by .ele.
graph, jus, before the sailing Of The Africa.
no official intelligence from his government,
could have reached The Russian Minister.
The hoax Of The fall Of Sevas.opol was ano,h-
er reason why i, was dou6,ed; bu, then, I.
mus, be- remembered that the fall Of Sevas-
topol cameby The mos, suspicious and uncer.
Tain channels-ihere was no official conir-

What effect this occurrence will have upon
The war is it impossible 10 fore,ell. The Gar

A mgh,ier mind Than the Gar or any Of his

Another item Of news brought. by The
