 The following account of the Emperor of Russias sickness and death Is given in the Prus- sian Staats Anzeiger
 S. Paersburyh March B.
 As it now turnsout his majesty had been for some time violently affected with influenza. About the 18th of February his body physician Dr. Mandt, begged for permission to call in other physicians. The Emperor took this very lightly, and turned it off with joke. but consented that Dr. karrell should also be con- suited. The Emperor became worse by de- srecs from want of sleep and increased cough, with plentiful eNpectoration, so that the phvsi- cnnS, on the 22d, begged his Majesty would keep his room.
 The Emperor would not hear a word of it: on which one of the physicians said to him, No medical men ln the whole army would allow any soldier, as unwell as your majesty is. to leave the hospital, for he would be sure that his patient would soon come in again worse" The Emperor answered. !" You have done your duty, gentlemen, and thank von and now 1 will do mine;" and on this he got into sledge in rather cold weather, and drove
 
 the Infantry of the guard that were about to march into Llthuanla to make up the comple- mcnt of the regiments thcre
 At this inspection, which was the last occa- sion of the Emperor's being seen in public. he was evidently very unwel coughed violently, eXpectoratcd excessively, and said, as he went away, am in perfect bath" although 1t was anything but warm in the Exercising House. Tho, th,,,, D- the minister of war, who was ill, cautioned hlm not to go out too soon and then returned to the Winter Palace. In the evening he was present at the prayers for the first week of Lent stayed some time with the Empress, but complained of being cold, and kept his cloak on in the room.
 From that evening the Emperor did not quit his little working cabinet. It was there on the 23d February, that he received his Flugel Ad justant Colonel Van Tettenborn, and dispatched him to Sebastopol; all the while lying on the sofa, and covered up with his cloak After that his majesty transferred all business into the hands of the Grand Duke Alexander.
 The days from the 24th to the 27th Fe bruary. passed over without ones hearing further on enquiry than that "thc Emperor does not leave his bed. as he is somc- what feverish; the cough is getting less and less hard,' etc.
 During the whole time he was i'll the Empe TOT lay only on his camp bed, i. e., on casing of Russia leather filled with hav a bolster of the same kind, and with blanket and his cloak over him.
 It was not till February 18th that his state was looked on as decidedly serious On that night he became rapidly worse The physicians a paralysis of the lungs. On the evening of March 1st, they despaired of his re- covery.
 The Empress and the Crown Prince begged him, at the request of the physicians to take the sacrament.
 It was not till then that the Emperor sems to have recognised the real danger of his state but hardly any shock is stated to have been mo- tceable in him.
 In the night, from the 1st to the 2d inst, Dr. Mandt communicated to the Emperor that he was dangerously ill, and that more particularly his lungs were violently affected, and gave great ground for apprehension. The Emperor an- swered very calmy-"And so you think that I am liable to paralysis of the lungs?" To which Dr. Mandt answered-"Such a result is very possible"
 On this the Emperor very calmly and collect edly took the sacrament took leave of the En- press, their children and grand children, kissed each, and blessed each one with firm voice. and then retained only the Empress and the Grown Prince with him.
 This was about o'clock in the morning.
 The Emperor said subsequently, to the Elm press, Do go now and take little rest, I bee of you" She answered, Let me remain with you; l would I could depart with you, if it were only possible" To this the Emperor re- piled, "No, you must remain here on earth Take care of your health, so that you may be the centre of the whole family. Go now: I will send for you when the moment approach es." The Empress could not dc otherwise than obey thls distinct expression of the Emperor's will and left the room.
 The Emperor then sent for Graf Orlorf, Graf Adlerberg and Prince Dologorouki, thanked them for their fidelity, and bade them farewell. Subsequently the Emperor had all the servants about him sent in, thanked them for their services, blessed them, and took leave ot them, on which occasion he Is said to have been himself very much affected. Last of all, the Kammerfrau Van Rohrbeck was sent for. The Emperor thanked her for the fidelity she had always shown the Empress, for sthe care with which she had always tended her in sick ness, begged her never to quit the Empress, and ended with-"And remember me kindly at Petcrhof, that Pm so fond of" The NEmpe- TOT pressed Dr. Karrell's hand, and said to him -" It is no fault of yours."
 Whilst the Emperor, father confessor was speaking with him, he took the Empress hand
