The Death of the distinguished Russian states
man and d~iplOmatist, Nrsselr0de, is announced
He had reached the great age of - years, and
nom his early manhood up to within a few years
OF his death, had been engaged in various i'm
poTtant duties of State. He was of a Russo
German family, and was born on board a Rus
sian mgate in the port Of Lisbon, and baptized
in the Protestant faith on board an English ship.
He began his career in the military service, but
IN early life became attached to the various en-
bassies of his father, who, as well as his grand
father, was an ambassador. He gained the favor
of Alexander by the brilliant style of his diplO-
matte compositions, and received from him an
appointment in tine ministry Of foreign affairs in
st Petersburg. He married a woman, neither
young nor handsome, but who had grown rich
by Specializing and smuggling. He was III
trusted with the ministry Of foreign affairs en-
second, after the rupture with Napoleon in 1912;
and from that time he controlled the relations Of
Russia with foreign countries.
In the night of March 81, 1914, he signed the
cspitulaton of Paris, which put an end to the
wsTs of the first French empire; and AZ years
afterwards he retired from public service, after
the signing of the treaty Of peace in Paris,
March 30, 1856, which terminated the war
with Napoleon III snd his allies. At the
Congress of Vienna, and the formation OF the
MY NhA-@AAANB AI Weo TIC NthLAlE HDLTlL, aLlL
he assumed for Russia that attitude Of superb
ority which has since given to Russian State
craft such a distinguished position in the diplo-
matte world. He exerted himself to obtain a
reduction OF the nOmou fines imposed upon
France after Waterloo, and Louis XVIII aad
Richelieu showed their gratitude by passing into
his hands immense amounts Of money, which
made him one Of the richest men in France.
Ills hocks Of sheep amounted to over I50, 900,
and his personal property was reported as almost
fabulous. After the death of Alexander, Nessel-
rode continued to enjoy the confidence of the
Car Nicholas, and he was promoted to the rank
OF chancellor of the empire. His emOluments
from his various Offices became enormous; and
he was relieved from his duties in 1856, over
burdeued with wealth, years, and houors. He
was lannon's for his skill in cooking and fol
inventing new dishes, as for instance the pudding
a la NeSseirOde. What of his time was moi
employed in the heavy duties Of diplomacy was
passed in the more delightful occupation Of cook
cry. In politics be was an ~absolutist.

Correspondence Of the Commercial Advertised
LONDON, March . The bullion in the bank
of England continues to augment, and tue total
now held is larger than at any time for two or
three years past. The expectation, therefore, is
strengthened, that before the middle of April
we shall have a reduction of the bank Of Eng
land rate of discount - two per cent-the low
est touched for ten years past.
The new Turkish six per cent. loan is ex-
pected b be introduced on the oath inst, and to
be for a nominal amount, equal to $4,000, 600,
and the price viii probably be about 81 or 65.
c.. Devaux 4 Co, a French house in London,
ale the contractors, and they will be supported
by the Ottoman Bank lin which Glyn u Co.
are interestedl The London joint stock bank, and
other sound establishments.
Should this loan be successfully raised, Of
which there is ne doubt, Turkey may hence
forth take an independent stand that should
render her in a commercial and financial sense
one OF the most prosperous nations OF the earth.
The sum now proposed will suffice for the entire
redemption of her floating debt and deprecated
currency, and she is already, by the impOsitions
of some additions to her previously light taxa
ton, enabled 70 show an estimate for the current
wear Of an excess of about $4,000 900 Of rev
enue over expenditures The principal articles
to be newly taxed are tobacco and salt
On the French bOUrse, alter a long period oil
rather iuexphcsble heaviness, a partial rally has
at length occurred, which has contributed to the
already buoyant tendency of the English funds
Consols, which were last week quoted at 9J4

stocks and public enterprises, and among those
which have attracted most attention are BnzlilaI

The New Orleans banks. after a meeting at which no

New Orleans Crescent Of "Wednesday says:

These parties who are so very tenacious and desire gold

The same paper Of Thursday states:
The most important feature in financial circles to-day
was the reception Of a decree by some OF the banks from
The highest authority f~orbiIding the paying out Of specie
or co H. It was received early in the day by some Of the
| banks. but up to - o'clock it had not been received by

paving out silver mp 20 4 o clock, but in very small sums.
In fact, the holders Of circulation Of the banks have run
out, completely Frustrated they have no more promisf .

At an early hour in the day The State Bank received
notice to suspend the payment Of cOin. The State has a
heavy interest in this bank and the mandate was
promptly obeyed so at the Citizens Bank, It had TO fol-
low the instructions. II was, however, very late in the

eHee to the mandate from the authorities the paying out
Of coin was generally suspended before ? O'Clock.
