J, .a.wMu,, encamp (. .ipital, nnd not'-.ing has occurred that round the Paiaee as l uund a citadel, and indicated his inteniion of going to Peterc-j that in a word, tlie most dreadful disas- ‘ 'I'hat his renunciation was ' ‘ ' . before the Hot cl dcs Cadets. The greater part of the regiments of the Guards took the oath without murmur ing, but without entliusiasm : the young guard, and especially the regiments of Lithuania, and the mai ines refused to take it, shouting, ‘Constantine forever.’ On tliis(ien. Miloradowitcb, the Gov ernor ol St. Petersburg-, who had assist ed at all the pievious deliberations, sur rounded with promptitude the mutinous troops, w ho kept up a well sustained fire until the artillery was brought against them, lor the pre[)arations were the same as iti a regular engagement, (ieneial Miloradowitcb was killed by a man in a Irock : two other Cieneral C)nicers were seveiely wouniled. The squaie wasco- ered with dead and wounded, a!id so ea ger was the contest between the comba tants-—fellow soldiers and fellow citizens, that it Height have been looked on as art action with a foreign foe. The ac counts of the result of this afl'air are va rious. Some say thai the mutineers le- cognized Nicholas I. as Kmperor t)f Rus sia, King of Poland, and Grand Duke of Pinlaiid, and that they implored his cle mency ; that every thing was trantjuil in the Imj)erial Palace ; and that a Te Ueum had been chaunted by the Priests in the thirty-six Greek Churches of the capital; what the Acts of the Chancery, the Judg ments of the Courts and Tribuni'ls are issued in the name of Nicholas, Others say, that larirom imploring the clemen cy ol the Sovereign, and submitting to his laws, the mutineers, on the contrary, have entrenched themselves in the Ad miralty, and that ( very tiling is in con fusion at St, Petersbur;;-; that ;,ucli of the guards as remain fjiitliful, encamp l>urg. 1 hat his renunciation was vcl- iintary was ge.^.eraliy bcli(;ved, out fiom the tardinei.s he displayed in having ins brother prucl'aimed to the a:iny under hi-s (ommand, ciiev\ ..o led to ask w hetlier •lie act td' iu!jinissioii • and ac!.n'»'.-.- ed^-mcnt in rcspci;? ?o tlie Ilir.ij-T'i;- -- ters are anticipated.

The Russian olT. cers, in particular, adopted the princi pies of this Carbonism ; and in this point the armies o! the (’zars are perhaps more demoralized titan any other. What is to be feared in the midst of these debates about the sovereignty is, that under ihe cover of an august name, iliese hidden and perverse associations should gain ground and lead to a civil war, in their attempts at mastery This is an addi tional consideration, which, amongst o- thers, must weigh in oui deliberations. “ P. S. It is asserted that the Empe ror Nicholas, lilt* belter to iiisj)ii-t* theiia with devotedness to him, told Mie H-gi- ments of his Ciuards that Constantine had been nominated (ieneralissimo of th» Russians. Eetit'rs Irom Warsaw an-* nounce that Constantine had not admit ted the Deputation of the Russian Senate which came to pay their homage to him. lie had refused to admit several oiher Deputations which came to congratulate him on his arrival. It'is remarked that the despatches Irom VV'arsaw were seal ed with red, as formerly. Nothing- can equal the impatience with which, throughout all (iermany, news from Rus sia is looked for. In the mean time the German papers dare hardly rept ai the numerous reports that are in circulation, so much terror is mingled with the gea- eral impaticnce.” NEw-YouK, MARCH IS.—By thc Jamcs Cropper and Edward Bonaffe we have Parisdates to the loth and I4th inclusive; they fui-nish the particulars of the abdica tion of Constantine and little else of any interest. 'Ve have not space for the of ficial documents relating to that singular and important event, but give the follow ing synopsis of their contents : The pa])ers published are— 1. A preliminary notice in thc Imper ial Ciazetle, dated the 26ih ult., assert ing the declaration of Constantine, that he vyould resolutely adhere to his I'orinei* abdication of the Crown of Russia, and atafing the formal accession of Nicholas. 2. A long manifesto from the Kmpe- ror,'explanatory of his motives for ac knowledging Consian ine ill the first in stance, and for subs( quently consenting to assume the Crown himself. This manifesto recites the fo.-mer correspon dence between Alexander and Constan tine in 1822 and 1823 ; and the manifesto of thc late Emperor fotitided up >n it, bearing date in August of that year, whereby His Majesty Alexander estab lishes thc succession of bin biother Nich olas, to the exclusion of the natural heir. 3. A letter from Constantine to the late Emperor, expressive of his desire to abdicate the right of succession, stating that he “does not lay claim to the spirit, the abilities, or the strength which would be required to exercise the high dignity” attaching eventually to his right of primogeniture, and declaring himself satisfied with private life. 4. Alexander’s answer, accepting the ' above surrender. 5. A manifesto by Alexander, in con formity to the preceding arrangement, settling the crown on Nicholas, but noV to be then made public. f). A letter dated the 26th of lasr No vember from Constantine to the Empress Mother, referring to his former abdica tion, and confirming it. 7. And last; a letter from Constantino ' to “ the Emperor Nicholas,” of the same date and tenor as the preceding. Throughout thc whole empire, and in the Russian Legations, they continue to lake the oath of allegiance to Constan tine ; he alone is recognized as Emperor At Odessa, as well as at Bordeaux and Paris, he is proclaimed the legitimate sovereign of all the Russians. The on ly city in which they have attempted tu proclaim another monarch, has been im brued with blood by a military revolt, which does not appear to have been ap peased. What is passing at Moscow and at Warsaw? We ate absolutely iu the dark. The couriers of Poland are, it is said, stopped by order of the Vice- Roy. All that we ktHJW is that in the news of the death of .\lexander. General Sacken proclaimed Constantine to thc army (of loo.uoo men) under his com mand. It is more than probable that the other cot-|)s have followed this example. /w( w//W Murkits, Jan. 14 (Jur Cot ton iiuirket this week upon the whole has oeen fia!, and pricces of ull descriptions bav'-* ticclined j per lb. .M-.W-YOUK, MAKCU 15. — ThC Bostott Daily Advertiser, ;;nd an txtra from the office (/f the Patriot, furniih us with thc fullovr'ing later i.MclJjijciiC'C fivm
