MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROH NICH OLAS I. j, JVrrmiHfnoii, Dec. 28.—Whereas his Jm. •. jfcnal Higl ness, the Grand Duke Constantine, has ! i declared that he will resolutely adhere to his former’ < abdication of the Imperial Crown, the Grand Duke ] Nicholas has to-day, ascended the Throne of the ; i Russian Empire, and all the proper Authorities, J i and th<„ different divisions of the Army, have taken ' • the U*»h of Fidelity to his Imperial Majesty. I„ i i rferenie to this important event, the following 1 An penal Manifesto has appeared! i Manu ks ro.—By the Grace of God, Nicholas I Emperor and Autocrat of all the Rus-ias. In the grief of our heart, amidst the general pain which oppresses us, our Imperial House,and our Beloved Country, we can only bend before the impenetra ble decree* of the Almighty, and we can only seek for strength and consolation with him It has pleased him to call before him the Emperor Alex antler I. of glorious memory, and we all have lost a Father, a Ruler, who, during 25 years, xvas the happiness of Russia and of us. When, on the 27th Nov. the information of this disastrous event reached us, we hastened, even in tip* moment of fhe rff^nt *tu:%friVf, to fflfd * 4 acred duty, and, listening only to Ike dictates of i >ur hearts, wc rendered the oath of fidelity to our j A "lder Brother, the Cezarowitsch Grand Duke Lon- ; .tantiue, as legitimate Heir to the Russian Throne | n virtue of primogeniture. Scarcely had we tbs- : * charged this sacred duty when we were apprised fi by the Senate that there had been deposited in their v hands, On the 15th October, 1S23, a letter, with »’ Ihe seal of the deceased Emperor, and with the c supersetiptiou in the own hand-writing of his Ini- * perial Majesty: “ To be preserved by the Senate until my further commands; in case of my death, 3 however, this packet is to be opened in an Extra- i ordinary Sitting, before any other act is proceeded 1 in:” that this most gracious command had been 1 complied with, and the following documents were contained in the packet: ' 1. A letter of the Cezarowitsch Grand Duke : Constantine, dated I4Ui January, 1922, addressed I to hrs Majesty the deceased Emperor, by virtue of ; which his Imperial Highness renounces the suc cession to the Throne, belonging to him by primo geniture. 2. A Manifesto, dated August 16, 1S23, bearing the autograph signature of his Imperial Majesty, whereby his Majesty, after the ratification of the Deed of Al>dication of the Cezarowitsch Grand Duke Constantine, establishes that we, the next in age, are Heir to the Crown, according to the funda mental laws of the Empire. We ware further informed, that documents of | the same tenor bad been deposited with the direct ing Senate, with the Holy Synod, and in the Cathedral Church of the Ascension at Moscow. These informations could not alter our resolution once taken. Wc observed in tliej-c documents only i ienunciation of his Imperial Highness during the life of the Emperor, and confirmed by the consent of his Imperial Majesty: but we had neither the wish nor the right to consider this abdication, which when it took place, waa not proclaimed : publicly, atid had not received the power of a law ’ as irrevocable. Wc would manifest by this our < veneration of the first fundamental law of our Coun 5 try, and of the unalterable order of succession, and \ faithful to the oath we had taken, we insisted that i the whole empire should follow our example. IUuder these momentous circumstances, it was not our intention to dispute the validity of the resolu tion pronounced by his Imperial Highness, much 1 less was it our intention to bring ourselves in op I position to the will of the deceased Emperor, our ; common father and benefactor, which will always I remain sacred to us. We endeavoured solely to I protect the law, regulating the succession to the throne from every infringement, to shew the purity of our sentiments, ami not to leave our beloved country one single moment in uncertainty re i ipeeiing its legitimate sovereign. This resolution, taken with a pure conscience, and before God the Almighty, was blessed and ap i proved by her Majesty the. Empress Maria, our I much beloved mother. Meanwhile, the mournful account of the decease I of his Majesty had reached. Warsaw, direct from T.rganrok on the 25th November, and consequent! r , two days prior to its being received here. Firm I in his tesolution, the Cezarowitsch Grand Duke i Constantine confirmed the same on the following day, by two Acts, dated 26th November, and com missioned to our beloved brother, the Grand Duke Michael, to carry them to us. These acts con sisted in: 1. A letter to her Majesty tie Empiess, our much beloved mother, in which his Imperial Hi-di ness renews his former resolution, supports it by the copy, of a Rescript of the deceased Emperor, dated the 2d February, 1822, serving as an answer to the Act of Abdication, and finally renounces solemnly all llis claims to the Throne, and reco". nized the same as transferred to us and our suc j censors, according to the appointment contained in | the iundamerital Enw of the Succession, i 2. A letter directed to us, wherein his Imperial Highness, anew, declares his former resolution, gives us flie title of Imperial Majesty, and reserves lor himself, only, the former one of G'ezaroivitscli and calls himself the most faithful of our subjects. However decisive these acts were, and although they proved to occoiar demonstration, that the re solution of his Impel ial Highness was irrevocably fixed, yet our own sentiments, and, the situation fif affairs, induced us to defer the publication of the aforesaid Ac<s, until the will of bis Imperial highness, with reference to the oath taken by us I and the whole empire, should be declared. 1 Whereas we have now also received on the part of his Imperial Highness, this last declaration of his 1 will, we communicate the same to our subjects, ac- 1 companying it by the following documents:_ 1 !• The letter of his Imperial Highness the Ce- 1 sarowitsch Grand Duke Constantine to the deceased ' Emperor Alexander. < 2.

We, by the Grace of God, Alexander the first 1 Emperor and Autocrat of all the Rus*ias, Sic. &c. Make known to our faithful subjects, that from the moment we ascended the Throne of Russia, we have invariably felt, that it was our duty to wards Almighty God, not only to maintain during r»ur reign the happiness of our dear country and ol our people, but al*0 to prepare anil secure a clear and exact apppuir.tment of our Successor, accor ding t*> the laws of our Imperial House, and rights of the Empire. We were not able to appoint him immediately, according to the example of our predecessor•*, un der the expectation in which we weie, whether it might not please Providence to grant us an heir to the throne in a direct line. But the more we in crease in y ars, the more we think i* necessary to hasten i:i placing our throne in such a state that it cannot remain vacant for a moment. Whilst v.-e were impressed with this anxiety, our dearly Beloved brother the Cezarowitsch and Grand D ike Constantine, in follow ing his own in clination, addressed to us the request of transfet ring his right to the dignity of the Throne to which he might hereafter be raised by his birth, to such person who may be entitled to it in default of him. lie at the same time declared, by this means, his consent to the Supplementary Act respecting the Succession to the Throne, which was granted by •« *•»*- J cm * , MUU IMIUVt JCU|;VU IUIII voluntarily and solemnly, and gives new Iwtce to to it as iar as the same concerns him. We arc deeply affected by this sacrifice which our dearly beloved brother has resolved to make with such great self-denial for the confirmation of the hereditary statutes ol otir Imperial House, and the unshaken tranquility of the Russian Empire. Alter having invoked the assistance of God, anil having duly and maturely considered an object as dear to our her;; as it is important to the state, and finding that the statutes which related to the order of succession to the throne do not deprive those who have a right to it of the power of reliuquiafiing the same,if no difficulty exists withrespcct to the line of succession, we have, therefore, with the previous consent of our Illustrious Mother, as well as the high power of the head of the Imperial Family, which came to us by inheritance; and mindful of the power granted us by God, have commanded as follows : In the first place, the voluntary art, by w hich !-r brother the Cesarowitch and Grand Duke Constantine, renounced his rights to the Russian throne, shall remain firm and irrevocable. In or der to secure tlie publicity of the said Act of Re nunciation, it shall bfc deposi^d in the grand cathe dral church of Ascension at Moscow, and with our three higher authorities, the Holy Synod, the Sen ate, and the Directing Senate. Secondly —With respect to the arrangement, and in conformity with the exact tenor of the act of succession to the throne, we acknowledge, as our successor, our second brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas. In this manner w e reserve to ourselves he pleasing hope, that on the day when it shall alease the King of Kings according to the universal aw ef all mortals, to call us from our temporal jovernment to eternity, the Chief State Officers of he Empire, (to whom our present and irrevocable vill, as also our present legal appointment, shall, >y our order, be communicated in due time,) will iseall diligence in swearing the Oath of Allegiance o the hereditary Emperor, whom we have j’ust now ippointed to the tin one of the Russian Empirp, as veil as to the inseparable Throne of the kingdom 1 if Poland and the Grand Duchy of Finland. < With respect to ourselves, we request all our ; 1 aithful subjects will, with the same sentiments of ! ove and affection which caused us to consider the 1 are for their constant happiness, as our greatest ! leasing, upon earth, direct their fervent prayers to ^ iur Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that in his in- 1 inite mercy, he may receive our touls into his 1 vcrlasting Kingdom.

Ibrahim Pacha had again summoned the garrison of Misso longhi to surrender, and is said to have offered them very advantageous terms. 1 he only’ answer given by the garrison was, that they awaited his coming under the walls of Missolonghi, where they could discuss more maturely the articles of the capitula tion proposed. The Turkish fleet had retired from before Missolonghi under the guns of Patras, and the Greek fleet under Admirals Miaulis and Sach luris, were before the former, with which they had b ee access, and were storing the fortress with pro visions and the munitions of war. “The Greeks are eager to draw out the Turks into the open sen, in order to attack them. There is not a single French vessel in the Ottoman ser vice. Communications with Missolonghi are open both by land and eea, and not a day passes with out the arrival of men, provisions, or ammunition. Ib^hun Pacha is not believed to have a single ofli cer capable of attacking a fortress.” Letters from the Peloponnesus state that Nice tas and Golocotroni are making extraordinary ef forts to complete the system of National defence. A barge arrived this instant from Calamos, brings intelligence that on the 1st instant the Greeks had attacked the Turkish fleet off Patras, had burnt a large frigate and three corvettes, and captured six transpoit vessels. Extract of a private letter of the 12th ultimo torn Xante :—“ At sunset five or six Turkish ves sels towed along by the Greeks, were in sight of i his poit. They are said to have formed a part of' he Egyptian squadron/ and to have been captured ! >ff Patras.” Extract of a private letter of the 17th ult. from ! oante:— “ The Oriental Spectator and Austrian Observer prophecied the capture of Missolonghi by ■ mnounring the mission of the two Commissioners I >f the Ottoman Porte, for the purpose of making i he arms fall out of the hands of the Greeks, as! hey did at Scio, and hedge them in, in order to 1 laughter them in the mass. Ibrahim Pacha, who ! lad gone with his army to Patras, seemed lobe making preparations to embark it on board the -Vplain Pacha’s fleet, for the purpose of effectin'* l descent upon the shore of Missolonghi, and ac- ! derate I lie surrender of that fortress, which at wo different times he had summoned to surrender. \.t the moment when the Egyptians led on by a uultitude of renegadoes and adventurers of different ouniries, were preparing to embark, the order of operations changed. Ibrahim Pacha and his bands uarched upon Vostilz*; he was, it is-aid, to go nd attack Acrocorinth and make himself master f the Isthmus, in order to cut off the coinmunica ion* llPtlVPPn nnrl tilA ..
