On the 16th of March !:v4, joint reso ntions on the subject of Cu ba were nnanitn nsly ado'ted. iicuic iiiunihs since, Mr. President, 1 was as sh. .o 'ca’i a- any one on this floor could bo about tb • existence of any ccncer.cd plan to Africanize Cub.;. I use the word not for the reason that it has become fashionable, but because it plainly con veys to my mind, at Least, without pari phrases, the complex ideas of emancipation, confiscation, pihage, murder, devastation and barbarism. Past experience has led me to be surprised at nothing thai England might attempt to prevent the posses sion o. this magnificent island by her great com mercial riva ; , a rival destined to be iu a very few year-, ii i fact, she bo not already in that respect, her recognized superior. Still I could not briDg myself to behove that Spain, with all her pride aud obstinacy, would prefer the destruction of a flourishing colony, peopled by her own sons, to the prosp'.et of its transfer, at some future, per haps, some distant day, by honorable and peace ful ir gotiationto a lrendly nation, for a price that would extneate her finances from that gulf of seem ingly hopeless bankruptcy iu which they havo been so long plunged. I will state now, as briefly as possible, the rea sons that nave led me to the full conviction of a well understood purpose between Spain and Eng it»i, in which France is certainly a confident, and probably a participant, for the Africanization of Cuba. Ou the Bth of April, 1552, Lord Malmesbury, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Afl'airs di rected bis Minister at Washington, in concert with the French Minister, to propose to our government a tripartite convention, by w hich the three nations should bind themselves severally and collectively to renounce both now aud hereafter, all intentions to obtain possession of the island of Cuba, and to discountenance a‘i attempts to that effect on the pa r t cf others. T vis proposition was made to Mr. Webster, tren Secretary of State, but no definite reply was made to it while Le remained in office. His success r, however, Mr. Ev erett, under date of Ist Decent bar, 18-52, declined the overture in a pap“r which will be torever remarkable in our di plomatic history for its high-toned nationality, and a vi? -r of stylo Curresponaing with tr.c importance of the question. Let us now trace the origin of the joint proposi tion of England an i France. On the 24th of Octo ber, 1851, L >rri Palme.ston, then Britisii Foreign Seen;-ary, wri'iugjo Lord Hcwden, his Minister at Madrid, -aid : L He here read an extract, tb3l Lord Howden was to tell the Spanish government, that any measure ;or emancipation iu Cuba would be iu unison with the wishes of the British Go vernment, j On the mb ot January, 1852, Lord Howden writes from Madrid to the Earl of Granville, successor of Lord Faimefstoo, that the Spanish Government dtsres France, Eog'and and the United States j wool 1 make an «bi. gat -ry declaration respecting j Cuba. This invitation of interference from Spain ! was evidently brought about by the communica tion of the 20th October, and others of a similar character. On tbe24'b April, lvs2,Lord Malmes bury communicate* to Lauriiz, the Spanish Am bassador at London, copies of the project of a con ventiou to be t ropos-.d io the Ltn'ed States by the British and French Mmi-ters at Washington, and the M -p: s >:o '•! snores, on the S-ilh of April, thank- Lord How-ion iu the warmest terms for his age -y ’• . having brought about this convention, or ?u‘prop > lion i r a convention.

The overtures of Fra: 'a* IK. e'r.nd having been thus definitely r j-c ed, Lord John Kusseil in his despatch to Mr. lira tup ion, of February 16 1853, which was by him communicated to our Government, closed with this very significant remark: ‘ Finally, while fully admitting the right of the Uni i S’a'os lo reject the proposal made by Lord Maitn<-so ,ry and M.De Turgot, Great Britain must at onee resume her entire liberty, and upon any ocytSiOu that may call lor it, be free to act either fi’-ng.y or • eoi jntiction with other powers as to her may seem fit.” r es Lord* Cl Iron<’ l !?

In the recent duel at Madrid t y tween our Minister and the French AmbussarW M. I), Turgot. Lord Howden, the repreClXiv’ of a Government, where duelling is not only a felotiy at law, but where what is much more" im portant, public opinion, permits tLe penalties of the law to be enforced, acted as the second of the French Minister, and although this happened soin • three or four months einee, he has not been recalled, nor have we he rdthat be has ever been oven reprimanded for his conduct. ihat I may not be understood, I would here dis clfc 14 uuy l ion of censuring the course of the prin oipaß in the duel. Each of them, no doubt thougutthat it coo Id not be uvoided without the risk of compromising his honor, but ou the part of Lord liowdou, there could L 3 no possible obli gation to go om wi' hM. Do Turgot, aud he cer tainly would not havo done so, had he not felt assured in Advance of the approbation of his gov ernment. I have taken some pains to inquire and learn that there can bo now here found a parallel case. While on the subject of Lord Howden, 1 cannot refrain from saying that his very emphatic denial, addressed to an old and valued friend of mine, F. P. Corbin, of Virginia, of any interfer ence past or present, actual or intended, with the cmancipp’ion oftho slaves in Cuba, would have comman-io'l from mo more implicit credence it lie had k u l:d to the letter of Lord Palmerston, of the 20th of October, 1851, and said that he had abstain' d irotn acting on it. His eilenco respect ing so important a tact, having a direct connec tion with the subject on which he was writing to Mr. Corbin, cannot, without excessive chanty, be ascribed to inadvertence or forgetfulness. Mr. Siideli a.so read extracts from Lord “?- W j den’s letter to Mr. Corbin, saying ho hud quannea Lurd Howden’s disclaimer to Mr. Corbin by tne mildest possible term, a reticence, the supprestw ten. He contended that if Lord Howden wrote the truth to Mr Corbin, he had disobeyed the in structions of his Government in a matter not liae y to escape Lord Palmerston, who would not toier aio sueheonduet. Ilis letter to Mr. Corbin, a p 1- vato citizen, was an anomalous proceeding. 1 was published in England, and had not :oou is approved by Lord Clarendon. Silence presumed assent in such a case, and the whole proceeding whs no favorable specimen of fair dealing by 1 British Cabinet. „ . Ho then examined how' far the idea of a concert ed plan for the emancipation of th 1 * Cuban slaves was sustained by the Island authorities, quoting largely from a circular by General Canodo, of Oc tober, 1868. In December ast Canedo, in r 'tiring from the office, said to Cubans: “Bern inobo-dent to the supreme government, to the officers it souds vou, and never or a morn, isl forget that the very existence and the name of Cuba depend upon its eontinuis gt - be a Spanish possession. Geneim Pezueln, w ho succu de.i Canedo, was al wa.s known to luvor i tna* cipation. On the 24*h Dicamber, be promulgated a decree irith.. riz.it g lor two years unlimited imponation of apprenticed i 1 borer... from 8; ain, India, VucUau and Chili.— It < ontaiussixtyvou articles, pro cribing minute , ~.u l ;it ns tor the system. But some idea of j their tflioacy, for the protection of the victims of ti ls new s'lVO trade, tnay be found from the 1 tiucond tiauoe of f e finh article, which doc'rrcs : more th n four persons per ton, inclu In g ! the -rew, shall i‘-e shipped on any vessel. CC>r . ii a;ts * r passeugue was two to every vc tons, j and «: cn tne present regulation requ.r'ng four j te '. square feet of deck ior each passenger was i Mib-tiluied, u wua supposed to boa lair equivalent for the old allowance. Wo ail know that there is a vest deal of suffer itig and great mortality on board of our emigrant ships, win so voyages are altogether made in t l o t penile zone. W hat then will be lho L rrid fate of ti • e Cu -i.u apprentices, transported within the tropics, on vet-sols allowed by law t-» carry ten times the proportioned number of passengers lo which our ships are limited. With us a ship of a thousand tons, which piobably is about the aver age s:ze<.f our Liverpool packet ships, can trans port four hundred passengers. The Spanish slaver is permitted to stow or rather pack in the same >puco four thousand apprentices. This would seem hardly credible, yet here is the decree at fall, and any one who chooses to examine it may find many other provisions exemplifying almost vs strongly the paternal care which is to no extended to these favored subjects of English philanthropy. Take for instance article fifty-seven. The mas ter will only be able to apply the following punish ment, : The stocks, prison and chains, from one to thirty days, with or without privation of salary. But subsequent articles expr ssly recognizo the right of the master to inflict other punishment, whenever in his opinion the emergency requires summary action. I have visited several plantations in Cuba whore a portion of the laborers woro Chi nese, and 1 know that they were subjected to pre cisely tho same labor and the same discipline as the negro slaves. Cannot some of our Northern abolitionists sparo a portion of their sympathies for those yeliow skiuued sufferers ? Is ebony the only shade of complexion that can elicit it? Why are nut the hor riddetailsof the sufferings of rive or six hundred Chinese inveigled by English Merchants on board : of English ships, under the pretext of carrying them to California, and then sold to bondage in Ch.ncha Islands, made lho theme of eloquent dec lamations at tho Tabernacle or Fanuil Hall, by the Beechers, the Jays, and the Philips, and other or ators of the abolition school. On tho 20th of January, the Captain General addressed circulars to his subordinate officers, asking their opinion as to whether Africans were not the best laborers, and as to tho expediency of exporting African apprentices. He then referred to other circumstances. Slaves in Cuba were not allowed to hire their own time at f S per month instead of |ls, as heretofore, thereby reducing their value one-half. Meanwhile the slave tiade is going on with increase ! vigor. Tho vigilance cf the English cruisers Las been so much relaxed as to justify the belief that the English Govern ment is conniving at the introduction cf slaves into Cuba. Tho price demanded by England from Spain for present immunity from interference must be fu ture emancipation. This is probably the question in this hemisphere on which Lord Clarendon says I that the policy of England and France, however antagonistic heretofore, is now in entire harmony. , He cannot allude to any other subject than Cuba. Mr. Siddell continued at great length to give his reasons for supposing that there was a concert of action on the part of England and Franco to Africanize Cuba, and urged the importance to tins country to prevent tho consummation of such | a project by any and every means that could bo brought to boar against it. HOUSE. Mr. Skelton asked the unanimous consent to introduce p bill for tho better protection ot lives and property ou the New Jersey coast from ship wreeK. He said tho recent disasters fully demon strate the necessity for the measure. Mr. Richardson objected, the gentleman having ou a f irmer occasion objected to a resolution which he sought to introduce. Mr. Skelton. The gentleman mistakes. M . R.cbardson. 1 have ever since sought au opportunity to repay the gentleman, and 1 now repay him by objections. Mr. Banks made an ineffectual effort to intro duce aresolu.iou providing tor a Select Committee to whom shall bo referred the memorial of Wil liam Richardson, asking the Government to tc-t 1 '-ho efficacy of hi* aimospharic- telegraph for 1 traiiMnission of packages and papers. Mr. Jolts, of Tennessee, said thero wr.3 no ne cessity for troubling the House with thi3 matter. The government was not organized for experi j ment--. A bid was passed for tho construction of milita ■ ry roads in New Mexico. On motion Mr. Baiiy, of the Committee of Fo r'''gn AffLirs, the following resolutions were adop i ted: Jteeol vi-dy In at the President bo, and he 13 hero by required to communicate to this House, as far ; as iu hi» opinion may rot be incompatible with ice public interest, cop.es of all correspondence ! * rat 'ins 1 -ed between t 1 is government ar.d fo reign gc vernnteni upon tho subject of the rights “• u'->rd’d ”>• declaration cr otherwise, to neutrals, . and the rights claimed by the belligerents i.i Die war : -nuu g bei wcon cer uin Europe:m Powers. lieeolceil, ihat tho President be also required to ; c nireuiiicate to thi lion - - ', &s fare’* in hD coio ■n .ray not be incompatible with the public* in cr<- t, Co- t* of such instructions a* have been ; turnisheo. oy the Department of Blatc, to our rep rescr.tvtivcs abroad in relation to the island of Cuba, as well a* of such despatches as have been received irun said representatives by the Depart ment of State. The House then went into Committee of tho Whole on tlio State of the Union, on the special order, being the bills relating to the organized Tonitones. Among those considered w;:« one providing for ihe extinguishment of the title of the CL ppewa Indians to the lands owned and claim d by them in Minesota and Wisconsin, aud for their domestication and civilization, which was debated at considerable length, when the bill was laid on the tab o and reported to tho House, during the consideration of the bill to increase the salaries of certain officers of certain territories. Mr. BernhDel off 2 red an amendment increasing the salary of the Governor of Utah to throe thou sand dollars. Mr. Walsh hoped the amendment would not prevail. It was as much as he could do with his pay to support one wife, aud he did not sec how the Governor of Utah could support a number of wives ou three thousand dollars. [Laughter.] The amendment was rejected. Without con cluding the subject, the committee rose and the House adjourned. CorpEK Mines. —We learn from the Rogersville Times that rich and extensive mines of Copper are supposed to exist in the counties of Johnson and Carter, and considerable excitement manifest ed. It seems that signs of copper are traceable along the mountains from Bradley county in this State to Carrol! county in Virginia. Many lortnnes will no doubt be made. Many fortunes will be blasted. Like unto the uncalcnlatiug “gold seek er” of California and Australia, the “ iroldon bir ’B” of many seekers lor copper will only appear in the prospective, or. disappear behind the veil of dis appointment.

Senate on Monday ratified tho treaty negotiated with Paraguay by Mr. Pendleton, which gives to our merchant vessels tho free navigation of the Paraguay river to Assumption, and of the right side of the Parana river from where it be longs to Paraguay to Encarnation. It also provides for the religious freedom of Americans in Paraguay Shipwreks on the Brit sh Coast.— Tho follow ing ext, act from tho official report of a committee gives a fearful picture of the loss of life and proper ty in tho British waters during the last two years : _ “The committee lament to state that the destruc tion of human life from shipwreck has been very large on the coasts of the United Kingdom during tho past year. It is, however, a source of satisfac tion io the committee to find that public attention, as also that.of her Majesty’s Government, has been directed to this important subject, and to the consideration of means for preventing shipwrecks, and for saving life on occasions of disasters at sea. They belie ve that, by the introduction of improved descriptions of life-boats, and their general adop tion on the coasts, an increased number of lire boat, rocket, and mortar stations on the land, and more espeeia. y by the adoption of measure son board merchant vessels themselves to diminish the danger on those occasions, this frightful loss of life may be materially lessened in future years. “Tho committee had occasion to observe in their last report that the year 1852 had been tho most disastrous as respected shipwrecks on record ; the largo number of 1,100 wrecks, with the loss of upward of 900 iives, having taken place during that period on the coasts of the British isles. And they regret to have to state that, as far as could be ascertained from Lloyd’s List and other authentic sources, nearly 800 wrecks, with the loss of about 870 lives, occurred on the coasts and within the seas of tho United Kingdom in the year lt>sß. In tlieawful gale of last January, 257 wrecks occurred on oh; coasts, accompanied by tho fearful sacrifice of 436 lives. Who can contemplate the vast amount of misery which such a loss of life must necessarily entail without asking himself the ques tion, ‘Can I not, directly or indirectly, assist in lessoning or mitigating such Calamities, by con tributing towards providing means for saving life from wrecks 1’ Tho aid solicited is comparatively small, and the recompense, iibutono liie bo saved, is incalculably great. Middle Georgia v*. Texas. Jor the Chronicle if* Sentinel. Mr. Editor— We now propose to elucidate, in all fairness, tho amount of actual money mado per head in Hancock Co., Ga., and liurrison Co., Texas. In order to do thi-*, we must first ascertain tho number of laborers in each county. We propose, then, to take ail the whito males between 20 and 60 years of ago, and all the colored malea aifd fe males between 10 and 60, as producers. This will at least be an approximation, and perfectly fair for both counties. It will stand thus : HANCOCK cor NTT.

But our Bermuda grass, stubble-fields and pea fields, with barley and rye patches, and winter grass now coming into vogue, are adding every year to the extent of our pasture lands, and cheapening much tlio keeping of stock. I know a farmer who sends many a pound of buf'er to market, keeps his stock fat, and never gives them any thing except during the winter. He has fenced in all the old holds on his premises, and they have grown up into a range, equal doubtless to many parts of Texas. But working stock must bo fed, and hence the estimate for horses, mules and oxen cannot vary much between tho two oounties. Now for the result: HANCOCK COUNTY.

The 86 negroes given in for Hancock county is arrived at in the fact, that this was the natural in crease of the county. There being 182 births and but 98 deaths. In Harrison, however, the births aud deaths rc equal, 133 each, showing no na tural increase, and leaving tho farmers no increase for nrgro property. A judicious friend says tho average should be SSOO each, instead of SBSO, which would add still more to tho profits of Hancock. As to freights, I am told by thoso who know, that from Texas generally $5 per hide to New Orleans is a Sow estimate. They many times lose months of interest by high waters and bad roads during the rainy season ; and there is now, as some letter writer states, moro cotton at Galveston than can bo transported in six months. It costs just $2 a bale on cotton 1° Savannah, the main market of Han cock farmers, and prices range quite as high ns at the gulf port of New Orleans. But people in Ilarri.-ou county have flour, we presume, at their daily meals. 5,609 whiteain that county, it is supposed, would use as much flour as 4.272 whites in Hancock, and yet wo consume all of our wheat in this coun T y, and make, according to the census, 11,994 bushels more than aro made in Harrison, which would take from their cotton money $14,992 moro, and reduce the product per hand to $83.12. The over product of corn, oats rye, barley, &c, in Hancock, would more than counterbalance the fine pasturage of Harrison, and tako it any way, the farmers ofHnncock aro making moro money thau those of Harrison, and tho samo is true of every county in Texas, as far as the cen sus goes, and we have had time to examine it. It wdll not do to say Harrison is a poor county, and we have been unfair in its selection. We believe 1 it to be the best county in Texas, as far as our knowledge goes, in almost every respect. 1. It has tho largest aggregate population of any county in the State. 2. Though several other counties have more whites, it has more than double the number of slaves of any county except Brazoria, and will nearly double that. If the lands are poor, why have largo slaveholders populated it ? 8. It doubles every other county in tho State in tho number of improved acres of land, and is the only one that reaches a million of dollars in the cash value of farms—no other courty reaching %ths of a million. 4. It exceeds every county in tho valuo of livestock except Brazoria, which includes four times as much land in its borders. 5. It pro duces near one hundred thousand bushels of corn more than any ether county in the State, and more cotton than any other save one. which seems to plant but little eiso. 6. It raises by 50,000 bushels moreswiet potatoes thau any other county ; and in short, is the only county in Texas which, for its age, population, improvements, valuo of farms and productions, is worthy of being brought in compe tition with Hancock.

The W eather and Crop*. The Weather.—The Spring has been uuusual i ly inclement. On Sunday and Monday morning we again had frosts. On the former, there was ice. Considerable damago has been done to crops and gardens. Ia some places wo hear of farmers plowing up their cotton, and of corn being killed 10 the ground. In particular localities, the forest foliage hoi been partially destroyed. The frost was as far South as Miliedgevilie. —Marietta Ado. The Wrather,—Last Friday, Saturday and Su nday wore wintry days. Frost on Saturday and Sunday nights. Much of tho forward crop of new cotton has been cut off, and fears aro entertained by tho planters that there is not onough seed loft to afford a stand for cultivation. No seed in the country to replant. It is a trying time with plant ers, and calls for all their fortitude and energy.— Griffin Jeffersonian. The Weather.—Wo were visited by moro frost oa Saturday and Sunday nights last. ” The vege tables in many of the gardens wore killed, while | others were not injured. We have conversed with i several intelligent farmers on the subject, and find they entertain various opinions as to tho extent of tho injury to the crops. Some think it is but slight, while others say they arc ruined Wo think | tho cotton in this section has been seriously in j jured, and perhaps the wheat, but the chances lor a good corn crop are good. .Vo see by our ex cPanges, that the frost was general ; and in Alaba ma many of tho farmers aro icplanting. —Athens Banner. The Wheat Crop.—There is nr w but little hope for the Wheat crop. Tho frost n Saturday and Sunday nights, las., have almost entirely ruined it in this section. We have just returned from La- Fayette, Walker county, and while there, learned from very intelligent and wealthy farmers, that tho Wheat in that neighborhood' was ruined,— Some few spots have escaped, but our opinion is, that there will not boa half crop raised.—Alton Times. Gold Mines in Lincoln.—lt was believed for a long lime, that tho counties of Lincoln and " ilkos were rich in minerals, though up to a very recent date but little has been done for their de velopment. We are gratified to learn, however, that scientific men and capitalists are now turning their attention in this direction. A company of New York gentlemen, Mossis. Phillips and Smith, of Wall st., purchased, last week, the estate of Mr. Alexander Frazer on the line of Lincoln and Wilkes, for a gold mine. Wo understand a lan?e sum was given for it, and that it is exceedingly val uable. The veins are numerous and largo—sorno as much as eighteen feet in width—of’decomposed state and quartz, and bearing gold in evory part. From the ease with which this oro can be worked,' and the immense amount of it, this mine must prove very profitable. It is precisely like Dome’s mine, on the opposite side of the river, in the forma tion, and in the character of tho ore, and is evi dently the same belt of veins, being only some thirteen miles distant in an air line, and in a southwesterly direction. Wo understand the veins have been t raced nearly all the way between tho two mines, aud that these New York gentle men have purchased and secured the property along them for nearly the entire dißtaneo. In addition to gold, manganese and other val uable minerals have recently been discovered along this belt of country. Our citizens will re joice at this prospect of development and iin provoment that may compensate for much of tho waste they have committed, by bad cultivation, upon our fair inheritance. Columbia county has, already, some of tho best mines on tho continent, and should those developments ooutinue, there will exist no longer a necessity lor resorting to California and Australia in search of tho mineral treasures of this earth.— Wilkes Republican. The Telegraphic Fire -alarm has no w been in successful operation in Boston for two years, and it has thus far answered tho most sanguine expec tations. The Boston Iranscript in alluding to its uses, says that they are not confined to the convey ance of rapid intelligence, but that the telegraph has also decreased the number of alarms, and thus materially reduced the expenses of tho Depsrt ment. Nicholas and Conetaatiuc. Alexander of Russia died upon the frontiers at a great distance from his capi al, aud the character of tho Grand Duke of Cone tan line, the next ia the way of succession, and the curious dispute ot the brothers Nicholas and Constantine as to which should not ascend the throne, has lately come to notice. Constantine was one of those strange characters who sometimes arise to puzzle philosophers and historians. Unliko ail bis brothers, who were re markable tor their stately and commanding pres ence, he had tho Tartar visage of his lather. His features were those of a genuine Caimuck. irk forehead was low and mean; his nose, scarcely more elevated thau that of an ourang outaug, terminated in broad liat nostrils; long white eye brows, always in motion, abuos: concealing Ins light blue eye, contrasted oddly with his uncouth red face, deeply scarred by tho smallpox. In d:s position ana manners be was a perfect savage, polished but not civilized. In his frequent mid ungovernable paroxysms of rage, Lt s savage na ture burst out without lestramt. Woe to tin man who then encountered him. Ilis eccentrici ties and excesses leave it doubts ul whether he hint not inherited the insanity of liis ancestor. In bis youth ho was a great favorite with his grandmother the famous Catharine, whom ha amused by 1 .s petulance and oddities. As ho grew up, a fond ness for the details of military discipline became his absorbing passion. The slightest defect it equipment—a button missing, a moustache longer than the regulation standard, a breast pl.no or belt, ill polished or carelessly put on—could m t e-cum ins quick eye, and was sure to call down severe punishment. As a soldier he serve-1 with no tittle credit, fitst under Souwarrow in Italy, subsequent ly at Austerlitz, and in the campaign ol Paris. He was married at an eatly age, by the orders c the impious Catherine, to u priuc ss ot 1 he Hons; ol Coburg, so famous for furnishing .• ponses to ti.e sovereigns of Europe. But the savage m i.m i and habits ot the Grand Dukv wore in-vni mu . o by a princess brought up at a civilised <7 r. 1 »' me of his bursts of passion be won d f nee 1 to rise during the night, and lie ecros ti threshold of their apartm nt.

Strange to say, in. lead ot wishing to buna w.i her one of thoso illicit connections into so many of which he had entered, he ■ot Li; heart upon making her his wife. But the Greek Church, more inflexible even than the Catholic upon the su r j t of divorce, seldom grants a dissolution ts the marriage lie. Constantine, however, knew the his brother Alexander was deeply anxious that n< should never be Emperor of Ka.Tua; and tho Czar was in effect the head ot the Kus.-iau Church, in his overmastering paseion he offered to renounce his claim to tho succession, on condition or' re eeivinga divorce from hi. wife, and allowed to contract a new alliance with the object of h. - aiTection. Alexander granted his request. Constantine married Jeanne Gudicska, and never fir an in * stunt seems to have regretted his decision. T' <- | marriage, however, was what is called a mcrgani. j \ or left-hand marriage, which is perfectly leg. 7 mate, but does not give the children who may _ >rt l from it any claim to the estates and c gnuies c. I the father. In 1822, iu addilioi to in 1 re. I verbal promise, he placed in the bunds of n 1 j brother tho Czar a solemn written renunciation of ! his right of succession. “Not recognizing in my I self,” so ran this remarkable document “eithc; the genius, the talent, or the power requisite k,.* my being ever elevated to that i overo! a. dignity to which i might lay claim by birth, I i u eeeiiyn .; Imperial Majesty to transfer that right to the"one to whom, alter myself, it belongs, aud tints threw: to assure the stability of the empire. As for my self, 1 add by this renunciation u new guaramee and now force to tho engagements which I, of nr own accord, solemnly contracted at the time of m divorce from my first consort. Deign, Sire, gra ciously to grant my supplication, to'which'c-ui august widowed mother has given her accord, and sanction it by your Imperial assurance.” 1 Alexander formally accepted thi:. act of renun ciation, and ordered it to be deposited iu the ar chives of the empire, together wi.h a manifest' recognizing Nicholas as heir to the Imperial digrd ty. These - documents were mc’osed together in a package, superscribed with a direction that, in tin event of his death, the package should be opened by the Council before proceedi< gto the perform anee of any other official act. Tho charge in -.lie succession, however, was never made public. It remained a strict family secret, 1. is even doubt ful whether Nicholas himself was aware ot it. Fot all that has ever appeared, it n fj known only to Alexander, Constantine, and their mother. Alexander lived but Ihrt ■ years alter tire excci. tion of this document. The news of his death reached Constantine at Warsaw within less than ; week after it took place. The Grand Duke slur himself up in his apartment fer two days a her re ceiving the mournful tidings. Perhaps he was giving way to uncontrollable grief,—for it...rah, that he cherished the most announced h> -re 1 venration for tis deceased br.-iucr. Perba si:, was meditating whether he shoe id no. still 7 his claims up. n tho empire. If sue! were the \ case, his mind was fully made up when he ap peered, after his two days’ seclusion.

To Nicholas, so many years hie junior, he wrote in the same tom ot veneration which he had been accustomed t use to Alexander. “I regard it,” he :I, “a- . sacred duty most humbly to btseechyonr imperii Majesty to design to accept from ir , first of a;:, my oath of subjection and fidelity.” His wh U happiness, he continued, wmiid lu : it manifest, a towards ids brother his profound veneration an unlimited duty; and he would > aver erase io era him and his descendants with the utmost fi Aby Tho tidings of the death of Alex-mder reached j St. Petersburg two days after t’ r arrival at Wt r saw.

The (.Hand Duke, it he had been made acquainted with his brother’s renunciat’ou in his lttvor, acted as though he \?a in perfect ignorance of it. Ho preceded to the Sonato llouso to take the oaih of subjection to Constantine, and to cause him to bo at onco pro olaimo 1 Empercr. The sealed packetle:t by A;ex andor was produced, with its superscribed it j mo tion that upon his death it should be opened, botoroany other business should bo transacted It was opened, and the renunciation of Co.uvo'utme and the manifesto ot Alexander recognizing Ni cholas as his successor, wero read by the astonish ed Council. “And as to ourselves,” conclude I this manifesto, “we beg of all our faithful sub jects that they will address fervent prayers to our Saviour Jesus Christ, that he may deign in his divine mercy to receive our soul into his everlast ing kingdom. In accordance with those instructions the Coun cil at onco prepared to proclaim Nicholas as Czar and Autocrat of all the Russiae. He peremptory v forbade tho procedure. He was not, he sail, the Emperor; tho resignation of his brother had never been publicly announced, no action tad ever bcen taken upon it, it was consequently in valid, and ho was the rightful sovereign. He therefore directed tho council to proclaim Con stantine. They hesitated and demurred. It war-, in truth a delicate position; and they might rain themselves by overhaste. Should Constantino decide to treat his renunciation as void, th?\ would subject themselves to his disfavor l» pro” claiming Nicholas. Should Nicholas mount the throne, would he forgive them for their undue zeal in obeying his commands to proclaim Con stantine? The astute politicians could not be lieve that Nicholas was sincere in his wish to d . - dine the Imperial dignity. He, however, persist ed in his orders; and they contrived a means of solving the difficulty in which they were placed, by acknowledging one brother while they prod >im ed the other. “You are our Emperor,” said th y. “We owe to yon absolute obedience. Since you command us to recognize the grand Dnae Con stantine as our legitimate sovereign, wo have m, 1 alternative but to obey.” The troops ot t to - were then drawn up before the palace, r “ l , of Alexander, which had not hitherto lo , ' known to the public, was announced, and tne oath to Constantino was admmiaterca.
