DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. From the European Times, March 3.

This event was announced to Parliament last tight by the Ministers of the Crown as having on place, and the ssusation,which it pro- duced in both branches of the Legislature, was not greater than that which it will cause throughout Europe and the world. Of the cer- hinty of the Emperor's death, no doubt need be entertained. Lord John llussell, who is now in the Prussian capital, ﬁrst tcle raphed home that he had been struck by apop exy,—was on the point of death, and had just taken leave of his family. This was shortly followed by another telegraphic message from the Britis Minister atlierlin, to the elieet, that he actually expired at St. Petcrsburg yesterday morning, at one o’clock.

It is hardly possible to overrate the import- ance of the extinction of this single life in the present circumstances of this and other coun- tries. Its eﬂccts must be great and immediate, and it is more than robablc, that the blood struggle impending be ore Sebastopol, in whic thousands of lives would certainl be sacriﬁced, may be spared b the event whic we announce this morning. in the case of the extinction of I despotic monarch, like the Emperor of Russia, whose will was the law of fifty or sixty millions ofpeoplc, the policy which he embodied while living, dies with him, and the restoration of peace becomes, under the circumstances, less a matter ofdoubt, thanof certainty.

The fate which has overtaken this great but unscrupulous Monarch, supposing him to have died a natural, and not like many of his pre- decessors, a violent death, demonstrates, in the strongest possible manner, how feeble the most potent become, when unsustained by that moral

wer which is stron er than cannons or

yonets, or the most eadly instruments of war. Twelve months back, before the declaration . of hostilities, Nicholas ltomanoﬁ', who now lies I mass of clay in his ancestral halls on the Neva, was the most proud, the most powerful. and the most arrogant sovereign on this planet : but this small interval of time has served to reduce him to ii. condition more pitiable than the linmblcst of his serfs, for in his nefarious at- tempt to subjugate a weak and a. near nei li- bour, he outragcdjusticc, provoked the hostility of the Western powers, stirred up resistance throughout Europe to his dictation, and lived long enough to discover, that the prepared Otrengtli ofa long reign and an almost bound- hss em ire, was utterly futile in the pursuit ofa ba purpose. The most conservative ruler intho world fell almost literally by his own band, when he pushed his aggressions on the property of otlicrs lvcyond the bounds ofendu- rsnce. The violation of the comiuaudinent which told him to respect his neigbmir's pru- perty ended in his dcstruction,—in that pros- tration of the mental and the physical powers which superinduccd apoplexy.

Although our enemy, it is useless to deny that the dead Czar was a great man, as well as a mighty potentate. Notwithstanding the me- lancholy tact of a quarter of a million of hu- Iian creatures having perished, one way or another, since this war lvcgun,—sacriliccd, in point ol fact. to the iusatizihle ambition of an Iliscru ulous ruler, yet he had many ﬁne quali- ties 0 head and heart; and to such of the British nation as settled in Russia, he was ex- ﬁoiriel partial, and always paid them the most marke attention. The lion preys not upon caresses. We can afford to do justice to de- prted worth, even in the person of a foe, and at is not too much to say, that if he had termi- Ininatcd his career without the Turkish aggres- Iion which roduced this war. history would bve enrolle him amongst the most intellectual and successful Monarchs of modern Europe.

hsps it is as well for the future peace of the ﬁrld, that this outbreak of Russian rapacity took place when it did, for guarantees wi I now be enforced, which will effectually srevent its s-qiotition. The fangs ol' the wet‘ will be drawn and the lesson which he has been taught will tell upon his successors for centuries.

‘The Czar was born on the 6th of July, I796, and if he had lived until summer would have shined his 59th year. Ile died not of old age, but of a broken heart—of the disappointment caused by the utter failure of all his schemes of ogp-sudisement, the prostrstion of all his hopes, --0 tsrribls example of the elects of un sl- fid ambition.

Before a great event like this, all the other fcsign sﬁsirs of the week fade into insigniﬁ- §«.

CRIMEAN

We are in the receipt of re ular despatchcs from the Crimea to as late a ate as the 16th of February. Telegraphic intelligence from the same quarter reaches to the 20th of February. From these sources of information, we learn that the contemplated assault upon Sebastopol has still been dela ed by the inelcmency of the weather, and by tie consequent impossibility ofbringingup asutlicient amountofammunition for the English batteries. Great progress, how- ever, is making with the railway from Bala- clava, which,on the l6tli, had already been laid down to the extent of an English mile, and was advancing with a rapidity rfectly astounding, and apparently incom re ensible, to the military engineers. The “ avvies,” it is plain, are perfectly up to their work, and, acting under the direction of their own skilful oﬂicers, are executing it with the vigour natural to the British character when left to its own unthwarted and unim ded action. The high health and ﬁne condition in which the “ civil contractors" have brought these sturdy fellows to the ﬁeld of their labour, reflects the severest reproach that has yet been oﬁ'ered upon the gross and culpable mismanagement of the mili- tary and conimissariat authorities ; for whilst every regiment or fraction ofa regiment hither- to landed in the Crimea has instantly after- wards been rcduced to the last extremity of want, suffering, disease, and death, the “ nav- vies” have been visited by none of these calami- ties, but have immediately commenced their work, with as much hearty robustness, unslack- ened sinew, and matchless strength, as if they were simply cuiployed in laying down the trauis ofa railway in one of the healthy valleys of England. buch is the difference between mili- tai;y_system and civilian common sense.

hilst matters remain pretty much in stem qua before the walls of Sebastopol, intelligence, of the most gratif ing description, has been received from _tho ' urkish csni at Eupatoria. Our readers will remember that, during the last month or six weeks, a large Ottoman force, estimated at about 30,000 men has been in the course of transliipuient from Varns to the ancient Crimea port of Koslov, now better known as Eupatoria. These troops are the ﬂower of the Turkish aruiy—the same brave fol- lows who triumpliantly withstood all the as- saults of the Russian generals upon the banks of the l):inuhe—nt Kalafat, Citate, Oltcnitza,: and Silistriii. Transferred to the Crimea, they have lost nothing of the discipline and courage which disiiiigiiislicd them in Bulgaria.

DEFIAT 01? Till RUSSIAN! AT IUPATORIA, OUR VERSION.

Lord Raglan has transmitted the following despateh to the War-ollice :—

“ Bsronii SEBASTOPOL, Feb. l8.—A force, said to be 40,000, of Russians, with a large number of uns, attacked Eupatoria at daylight on the l7t , and was repu sed with loss by Omar Pacha. The Turkish loss is said to be incon- siderable, but Selim Pachs. commanding the Egyptian brigade, was killed. The British men-of war, under the lion. Captain Hastin s, covered both ﬂanks with great eﬁ‘ect. he action terminated at 10 a.m., when the Rus- sians retired a few miles."

The Monitcur publishes a despateh of a nearly similar character. Other despatches have been received in conﬁrmation, and stating the less of the Russians to have amounted to 500 and the Turks to 15 killed and 35 wounded. A battery served by the French lost-1 men.

VIENNA, Feb. 20.—The attack on Eupatoria on the 17th wasa serious affair. The Russians, with 80 guns, made several vigorous attacks. They left 428 men on the ﬁeld, and carried oﬁ‘ many wounded. The Turks lost 80 killed. Selim Pacha, the Egy tian Commander, was killed, and one of the "urkishfcnerals wound- ed. The Russians bivouacked uring a bitterly cold night on the way to Simpheropol, or, rather, on the way to Sak.
