Dr. Granville had once been Lord Paln* inerston's medical attendant, and in 1840 resided in a professional capacity at St. Petersburg, where he had medical introductions tc the Imperial Court. In the month of July 1853, he addressed a confidential letter t( Lord Palmerston, and which he (Granville] a now reproduces in the Times. In that lettei he stated that, having formed a careful prog rn nosis of the state of health of the Emperoi Nicholas, he had come to the conclusion thai in he would die suddenly in the 59th year of hi? sc age. At an interview with Lord Palmerston in* February 23, 1854, Palmerston asked Dr. G i if he still adhered to his opinion and predie 'w tion ? Granville replied that''before July ;e> 18.)5, when the Emperor would be i>0 year: of age, the event anticipated would happen.?

On the other hand, Alexanif. der is regarded as possessing a mild and pacific dist-_ j position, and one more favorable to the cultivation of r_ the arts of peace.
