House Of Lords. Death Of The Emperor Of ...
HOUSE OF LORDS . DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA . The Earl ^ if Clanricarde , soon after the meeting of ; the House , rose and said : — . . , , ' "My lords , I think it my duty to inform your lordships of the contents of a telegrap hic . despatch which I , received half-an-hour ago from her Majesty s Minister , at HDheSperor of Russia died this ¦ morning between ] twelve and one o ' clock , of apoplexy , -after an attaek of ^ " ^ I ^ ve also , my lords , received a despatch from ' - Berlin , also informing me of the death of the Emperor < of Russia . An hour before this-despatch arrived , I received an account from Lord John Russell , who iis ^ t , Berlin , stating that the Emperor of Russia was at the , point of death , and that he had already taken leave of Ms family . I apprehend , said his lordship , although ^ this event occurred at so late a time as between twelve add one this morning , there can be no doubt of the authenticity of the information . " ¦ He then appealed to Lord Lyndhurst to postpone his . motion on the subject of our relations with Prussia , to which the noble and learned lord assented , THE CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA . The Earl of Luca * ( who appeared for the first time in the House ) , stated that immediately on his arrival in this country from the Crimea , he had taken steps to demand that his conduct with reference to the cavalry . charge at Balaklava , should . be ^ investigatedlj > ya ^ pun Martial . He should not now , do more than read tne . correspondence which had taken place between himself , the Duke of Newcastle , Lord Hardinge , and Lord ' Raglan . The principal letter was that which has appeared in the papers , and in which he defends himself against Lord Raglan ' s charge of a misconception of the orders given him . The other letters merely showed that he had declined to withdraw that letter , and that con-r sequently ho had been removed from his command . JNo discussion took place on the subject . ' ! i

THE-CZAR IS DEAD . The Emperor of all the Bussias is _ dead . The hazardous game at deadly bowls that he had opened in Europe , against the neid , is not played out ; the score was . running against him ; and * e 4 s removed -before efuld tdl . whether . . the win , oT Pe ^ the Great was a dream or a for ethought , the charter or the doom of the Imperial house . The war which Russia has provoked has been full of surprises ; but it was reserved for " -pulmonary apoplexy" to give us the greatest surprise of all . The event . suggests a crowd of- questions , but some wiU press ] hard for a prompt solution . ¦ T Is " pulmonary consumption" the real judgment of the physicians , or is it a eu- phemism for the hereditary malady of the < 6 zars ? A Czar has been described as walk- ino- with his father ' s murderers before him , his brother ' behind him , and his on ¦ each-side ofjhim . ; bave . Jhoje jubUc f unctionaries of Bussia been at their work ? Probabilities are in . favour of a departure from the understood rule . Nicholas some few years back , startled visitors by Ins altered aspect-aged and haggard . His health had suffered fearfully from a cause at once shocking and ludicrous—from the efiect of displacement under excessive tight-lacing ; buti he could not abandon his belting any more than an ominous erysipelas in the legs could make him surrender his jack-boots : and pulmonary apoplexy is the probable end of a frame physically over-strained and exasperated by imperial angers . . What effect will this sudden event have upon the Bussian succession ? The last demise of a sovereign was the , occasion tor mysterious intrigues and military demonstrations ; and it was understood that the lato Emperor contemplated a course not unusual in his house—the setting aside of the mild Oesarovich and the crowning of the younger but fiercer Constantine . Will that be the result ? Heirs apparent , however mild , do not always surrender their pretensions without question ; will St . Petersburg , then , be . the scene of a civil contest , while ^ Jiuesia stands at bay against the legions of Europe On tho contingency of the succession de pends tho third pressing question—What will bo the efFeot of this sudden fato upon the war ? Will Bussia pctBevero , or yield Her official enemies at Vienna would pro bably aid her to yields a milder Czar
I - 1 g a su peace . a CokstjlNtxkb excel his Jafher . m'KtteraesP and presumption . ? The - & ct : is , that thp elements of the calculation are too inany , ., too potent , too little Joao , wn , even for & conjectural solution . The . events of the Few years " commencing the second half * of the century have thrown the-European powers into new combinations . "W . e have a desperate adventurer placedupon the neck of Prance . ; a young soldier succeeds the imbecile TSmperor of Austria ; and now we have a feeble anH . sickly young Czar , inheriting the most pre-. sumptuous hopes , and the bitterest , because the most-recent , disappointments . These be not . elements of peace ! But each of these Imperial PrinceB has stalking behind him a domestic fiend : . Napoleon has . a cousin , who denounces his policy in pamphlets ; Ekancis Joseph is dogged by the ghost of - the wrongs which , his House has committed on the . peoples that chafe under his bayonets ; behind the young X , be it Mlchael or' Constantine , Btalks ta . Pretender to the throne mined already by disaffection and conspiracy . Prussia will abet any intrigues . to . shilly-shally into quiescence ; our own puny and ^ paltering statesmen , who never tell us what they do until it be done , would snatch at any presentable peace , if it were only to stop debates on Parliament on the estimates , to save tne remnants of aristocratic privilege , and to . gag Manchester . Peace , therefore , will it be , it possible . ; and if not possible , then war , bloody , vast , and uncertain ; for there are more questions to settle than this one , and on that fatal ridge of the Chersonese the honour ot England has yet to be affirmed . What is that clod of dust and ashes called a Czar , that it should vex the world with its giant puerilities , and not be laid to rest for ever-g ^

( By Continental Telegraph . ) Berlin , Thursday Night . Lord John Russell is to remain hero only two days . As the opening of the Vienna Conference is so nearly approaching jt is doubtful if Prussia will bo represented at the beginning . Baron Usedom or Count Alvensleben are , however , designated as probable Prussian Plcnipotcn-. tiarics . It is rumoured that the negotiations between Prussia and Franco have been interrupted by unexpected difficulties . Boulogne , Thursday Evening . The Emperor arrived hero at five o ' clock , after having visited the camp at Helfaut . Madrid , Thurfiday . The religious basis of the Constitution has been voted by a majority of 148 .

^ ; . . t - - THE " MONITEUR M THE BRITISH CONSTITUTION . « lrc is the British Constitution that is under trial . It is on trial not before the British people alone , but before the whole world Everywhere is it spoken against . It is the jest alike of our enemies and our aUies Thus spake the Times on Friday , the . 16 th of February , in a fit of sincerity , which has since passed off under the cheerful influence I of a second Ministerial crisis . - - -vir- i But these words have been amply verified by an article in the Moniteur which is nothing more nor less than an elaborate attack upon British institutions as contrasted \ vith the stability and dignity of the Napo eonic regime . To those who have sounded the abysses of that mystification under which Franco now lies seemingly ^ JJ ^ * J those who have penetrated the realities ot that mise en scene , it may seem superfluous to examine in some detail tins latest production of the Imperial pen . In -P ° ™ ™ article is very generally attributed to Louis Napoleon himself ; and remembering that his stylo lias deteriorated since . Ins accession to power , we see no intrinsic improbability . in the authorship . . . ¦ .,, ; rmo , Is it that the freedom of our mstitutions diaturbs tho slumbers of the T ^™^ . ^ ° fc I doubt liberty is a contagious <^ ™ P ^ ^ . ss ^ -ssS : -
