In answer to your correspondent Honoré de Marevelle's Query regarding the Te Deum as sung in Russia, I beg to inform him that in whatever language the Emperor Nicholas is most familiar with this hymn, it is sung in all their churches in Sclavonic, which is only intelligible to the priests and a very small number of the laity, the mass of the people being quite ignorant of this old language. All the services in Russian churches are performed in Sclavonic.
