said, the chief command. The deceased
Emperor Nicholas had already recalled
Prince Aenschikoff from The Crimoa, and
given the chief command there to Prince
Gortsclakoff, and The second to General
Osten- Sacken.
Intelligence had reached Paris from st.
Petersburg viii describes that city MS in
a state Of great excitement. The mobiles
had met secretly, with a view of addressing
the Emperor on the subject of arming the
surfs. They proposed pointing out to Al
exander the ruin which would accompany
such a step, and the internal dangers that
might follow. 1t was expected that St.
Petersburg would be placed in state of
siege. The war party already began TO
threaten. The Emperor is reported to have
declared his intention to follow out the poll
cy laid down by Nicholas, at the congress
of Vienna. Prince Gortschakoff''s ins,ruc-
non' nave oesn confirmed General ras-
krewrch is opposed TO the arming of the
serfs, and has addressed the Emperor on
the subject. The greatest confusion ap-
pears 10 prevail at st. Petersburg. g..'t-'-
