NKW-YOH.K, MAiUMi 9.— The aiinexe
p'ara.frraph from a (iihraltar-paper of ’he
2r>th January, furnisbed by the Gazelle ol |
this mornings leaves no dou!)t that the
succession to the thrcne of Russia is to
lie contested. Tl:e arbiters of the con
test are to be the fi»‘rce soldiery—the pro-
torian bands of the capita!, pei'iiaj)s, a-
!;ainst the legions of the dislaiil jirtisin-i
ces—the i)eople, if the term can be ; p-|
plied, as umlerstood among- ns, to the \
serfs—f/iH adacripti glebdc of il.e empii e,
will look on with })aticnt unconcein,
knowituj: that with w hatevir issue to the
ed at and pitied,rather than lo be admii -
ed or wished for. While in power, as
the organ of an administration, Mr. lian'-
dolj)h floated siiioolhly along the current
of things ; but when the administration
changed its opinion of him, he cast uti-
chor, as it were, and has ever since, like
a pebble in a stream, caused a s]>ray atitl
a noise more anjiising than i:.jurious.
Whenever John I’iandolph has risen to
■speak, tii(^ house has been still as night ;
and when his speech has been pul)lished,
the ne\vs|):iper readers have left all oilier
matter to peruse it ; but the attention to
hear, and the eagerness lo read, has pro
ceeded frtjm no hope of deri\ing either
instruction for the head, or charity for
the heart ; but fi'om oiir |)ropcnsity to be
amused with the overflowings of the gall
of a troubled and discontented spirit.
An unfortunate inclination or ileifrmin-
ation to see only the dark side of every
object, co!dirnied by hal)it, renders the
sight of pi-nsperity and iiuiividual emi
nence as painful Jo his mental vision, as
is the first view of the blessed sun lo the
miner; and he turns the pros])ect, and
calls it bad, because his nerves arc too
contracted to leceive or endure it.~On
this account Mr. Randolph is ahvays
nothing—be the emperor (.'onstantine or
Nicholas, tliey will still be the slavi's of
a military despotism. What the efTect
of this civil war (for w e apprehend such
a result to be inevitalde) may be on Eu
rope, or how far its inllueiire may go, if
at all, to disturb th.e harmony of the con
tinental system, remains to l^e seen.—
France will not lament any course of things
which tends to res (;re her natural and
long accustomed position of the head ot
the Euroj)ean nations—a position wliich,
latterly at lea'.t, has l.ieen held by Russia.
Ausli ia and Prussia b(;t!i w ill see without
any deep legrel the power of a formida-
!)!e neighbour wasting itself in intestine
feuils : and even Tjiglaiul may rejoice that
Constantine should fintl enough occupa
tion at liome, to deter him from realiz
ing those day dreams in w hich he is sup-
p(jseil to have indulged, of filling the
throne of the eastern empire. We shall
Walt with im[)alience the arrival of the
next vessels, to develope the scene a lit
tle more.
I’Auis, JAN. 11.—Very unfavorable in
telligence arrived at Pans yesterday from
St. Pctersl)urg, On the 2Gtii ult. the
Manifesto of Nicholas I. was jiublished.
It explains clearly and in detail, ihe ac-
ready, und has been sometimes useful, in count of Constantine’s renuncialion ; and
s >vliolly of an Eictuiivt; iia;u;'c,
detecting an error ; but never has he,been
known to propose a reiiiedy, or lo give
his assistance in supporting one. Like
the Roman Emperor, he lias set all a-
round him, friends and foes, on fire wi’.h
angi y argument, and then (juietly laugh
ed or sneered at the confusion lie creat
ed.
' For sometime Mr. Randolph has been
silent, and we were»in hopes he had be
come sensible that the most dignified
course for him to pursue w as a silent one;
and since he niust leave the political are
na, to do so \t iih digni.y at least. But
in this hope we have been disappointed.
The fire wihfh has been so long burning,
has given a fitful b!-.\ze ; his gall has once
more boiled over, to the mortifu ation of
his friends and the amusement of his op
ponents.
Bui little commentary is necessary on
ih«‘ above mentioned speech. It carries
its own condemnation, and may Ije traced
to the unkintl feeling which has guided
his political career, and we regret that
the Senate of the United States s.'ioukl
have had to listen to its sounding verbiage
and disiesj)eclful strains. To defend
the character of Bolivar from the asper
sions of Mr. Randoljjh, or to vindicate
the South Americans, would be to give
a weight to his tirade which it does not
tlesei ve ; and any suggestions as to the
lespecl, outward at least, which is due to
the PresidtMii of the United Stales, would
be thi ow n away. Jialt. Daily Mo
In our .lournal nflast Saturday, says the
National Journal, wi gave the resoluiitnis

adopted by a laige majority of the House,
it is -vident they do not express the opin

some kept backward, although most of
them were ready. It was soon ascertain
ed that the Moscow regiment made diffi-
cullies. Two companies of (irenadiers of
that regiment went out of their barracks
with the colors,and [jrtjclainu d Constan

Place Isaac, vvhere it was soon augment
ed by a i^arty of the ilregs of the popu
lace, some soldiers and marines of the
guards. No other corps took part in
the sedition, anti it a[>pcars that the num-
lier of rebels did not exceed 2000 men.—
(len. Miloradovitch went lo the Place lo
haiangue the rebels 5 but at that instant
a man fired a pistol at him, and he
tiied a few iiours after. The Empe
ror himself appeared unarmed, and en
deavored in vain lo quell the mutiny.—
At length, fimling all mild means fruitless,
and after having uselessly explained the
cu t umslanees of (.'onstantine’s lenuncia-
ii(Hi, he was forced to cause troops and
cannon to come up. "I'he rebels formed
themselves into a square battalion, and
had the audacity to fire first, but were
soon dispersed and pursued in ail direc
tions. The number of killed is comput
ed at 200. At 6 o’clock order was res
tored ; neverlheless, the troops which
remanied faithful, (and they formed ihe
greater part,) bivouacked all night round
the Palace. The Grand Duke Michael
vvho had arrived at St, Peiersburgh at
the moment of the tumult, succeeded in
bringing to duty the six companies of
the .Moscow Regiment who did not lake.

We have received papers of the Mexi

anti the Alvaiwulo Menuno to the t)th ult.
'I’he article most worthy of notice is Uie
following contained in the Jlguila Mextca-
lie.
“It is said, very generally, that the
Senate has agrcetl to authorize the Exe
cutive government of the Union to join
with the Repu l)lic of Colombia, in assist
ing the inhal)itani3 of Cuba to achieve
their indepentlence. This measure does
honor to ilu; Senate, and is sufficient, of
itself, to stir the fire of liberty which is
cherished in the bosoms of the inhabi
tants of Cuba, and to sf. ike their oppres
sors with terror. It appeared to be full
lime for the Congress of Mexico to give
such authority to the Executive, as would
enable it to frustrate, in the most pru-
den* and sensible manner, those schemes
of aggression, which may be formed a-
gainsi America by her odious enemies,
atid of which the island of Cuba will be
the fulcrum. Four thousand men liave
just arrived at the island, and more troops
may successively arrive, to the point of
exciting disquietude in our continent.—
This affair of Cuba is one of the most
tlelicale which.we have to handle in the
present stale of the political regeneration
of America. It is of such a nature, in
our opinion, that it admits of no com
promise. The Spaniards niust either eva
cuate the island, or war must be inter
minable. The chosen ])eople of t!ie Lord
cannot live in peace while the soldiers of
Neljuchadnezzar are encamped at the
gales of the Holy City. Such is Havana
with regartl to the new Stales of America,
esjjecially Mexico.
“ If the consent of the Senate above
mentioned, be true, as we are assured,
anu believe, the (juestion will of course
cf)me before the House of Representa
tives, where it cannot fail to happen that
an immense majority will concur in
what is a necessary policy of precau
tion.”

cover various signs of gradually return*
ing life, and after the funeral cercrnonic'
tm the 12th, the coffin being opened f'o^
the view of spectators, the corpse present
etl a most unusual appearance—the cole-

Wonderful—\ young child of Iler.rjr
Allen of Bennington, Vt. about five years
oltl, ran out with his cousin to see him
draw a pail of water ; the little fellow anx
ious to see ihe bucket dip, the curb lie*
ing low, fell head first into the wcl!
which was about forty feet deep, witli
four or five feel of water. His little cous
in gave the alarm, but there was no per.
son about the house excejit women, and
the aged and decrepid grandfatlier, who
is between 70 and 80 yeat s of age, and
who was slowly recovering from ^severe
paralytic shock. But the oltl gentleman
(Mr. ^Vebster, a soldier of the Revolt,
lion) forgetting his age and infirmities,
descended into the well, and lt> his great
astonishment and jtjy, found his darlinj
grandson sustaining his mouth just above
the water, by one hand clinchetl holtl of
the well chain. What rendered his e>
cape more miraculous, is, tl.a' the well
is so small that Mr. Webster, a few year*
since, attempted lodescend it and couli
not. The child passed between he wall
and the bucket, and from the mud in liij
hair, his head mu%l have struck against
the bottom. Exertion over, the child
restored unhurt to his mother’s arms; the
old gentleman burst into a floiid of teats,
and all but fainted in his chair.

demurred, and the court thought with
some projirieiy that it was not an essen-

—He said the coal had been lent to him
by the accuser. The next was jet more
singular: “Pray Sir, where did you
sleep last night r” Witness demurred a-
gain, but finally admitted, “in the de
fendant’s iStable!' W’hat led lo these ques

plainiifi on looking close at the wiiness,
discovered beneath the handsome frock
a black and torn shirt, and suspected
that the man was a kind of vagrant, dress

^hig'ilar Lttse.—A friend, whtj is well ac-
qtiainted with the fact, has given us the
following information : A yot.ng man
luiiiietl Davenport, aged about l‘>, and a
esidentof West Brunswick in the north
part of thift county, was returning home
li'tjm his da\’s work in usual health on the
evening of Tuesday t!ie 'j;b ult. bui w..s
louiidtlead (or apjiai aiitly so,) the next
lUorr.it:^, in 'li','. rt.’ud about l ^'j rc*ds from
county
the liberty to omit names. The case to
which we refer, is that of a lady in Jor*
dan, who, not long since, was delivered
of FOLK children, three of w'hich arc in
a promising state of health. In Cato,
iu an adjoining county, another woman
was delivered of ihe same number, of
which the same number are living Tii»
late King of Prussia was accustomed to
patronise such subjecis. by conferring
pensions upon the husbands. This is not
done in america, nor is it a subject of
wonder, for Repulilics are proverbially
ungrateful. ftlstcrn paper.

Priest ob.served that this was the 30lh

O'llalloran was hung on the 3tl inst. at
Btiston, for murder, in the Jail-yard, in
the presence only of the SlierifV aiul his
