I: •, A f the ORIGIN dits of of n,y the RUSSIAN EMPIRE, n MISTERS. We will enquire into the origin, and follow the l progress of that Northern Empire, which is twice as large as the whole of Europe, and which holds under the same yoke people still barbarous, or hut half ci vilized. The reunion of so many countries under one Government is without exutnpla in the annals of the world. The monarchy of Alexander the Great, after his vast conquests, nor the Roman Empire so wonder fully enlarged, did not acquire so extensive a terri tory. But that gigantic empire is overspread with solitude, with deserts, and wild forests ; bounded by frozen seas, where her fleet is confined for half Vie year, and possessed but of a small extent of coast in proportion to her size ; little of her land Lille bited or inhabitable ; all empire peopled w ic k s l aves , and where they speak eighty ditlerent idioms, where where power itself has nothing certain, where luxury and misery, corruption and ignorance, are united ; that empire, which presents to our view, a strong assemblage of different countries, and people with out union or concord, deprived as it is of that happy geographical situation, of that vital force re setting frem an agreement of . the population with the extent of territory ; advantages that give to the Em pire of France a certainty - of a long course of pro sperity and glory. The people comprised under the name of Russians have incontestibly descended from the great race of slaves, from whom the Poles, the Bohemians, .the Wendes, and the Sclavonians, take a common ori gin. At the fall of the Roman Empire, the slaves occupied that part of Europe anciently called Scythia and Sarmatia ; in the sixth century they took the Lame of Slaves, that it mi g ht be understood that they were seekers of glory, for that is the significa tion of the word in the Sclavonic language. I low tver, they did not consider the Slaves as the founders of the Russian Empire, but carried hack their origin to the Scandinavians or Normans, who, haiing ra vaged the coasts of Europe, gave laws to Normandy, Eueand, and the two Sicilies. it was irons the bosom of Norway and Sweticm that the founders of the Russian empire came in the ninth century, as the founders of the French monarchy in Gaul came from the bosom of West. penile.. , I The author of the annals of Berlin, who is the first that mentions the Russians, gives Sweden as their country. In this point he agrees with Nes tor, a monk of Kiovie, the first annalist of-the Rus-; leans, who makes them come from Scandinavia or Normandy, which he also calls Woregues. The mime of Russel, or Raotzi, is still given to Seeder, from thence it passed to the Slaves. Be that I as it may, Rurick, the Norman, is generally sup posed to have been the founder of the Russian Em pire; towards the middle of the ninth century. Rut they do not imagine that the Walnut's, or • Normans, came in lei eat numbers to establish them mike. in the &set ts of Russia. e I Rurick brought v.ith him but a few chosen war riors. when the slaves, mho inhabited and governed Ingria and Novogorod, sent to l d be) end the sea, a deputation, to he ite hint to become their legislator and chief. lie fixed his residence at Alti-leyoborg, which they suppose to he Staraia-Lecloga ; he trans ferret' it afterward , to Novegornd, which became the capital of the Russian nation. Rurick gave the go vernmeet of many of the towns, belonging to the sieves, to the noble Waregues, who had accompanied him in his enterprise. The Grand Dukes, his soccessers, extended their conquests to the White Sea, the Baltic, and almost to the Euxine; and made the Emperors of Constan tinople tremble on their thrones. Wlatlimer the Great, great-graialson of Rurick, was the first Crand Duke who embraced Christianity ; he intro decode the rites of the Greek Church into Russia, on accomee of his marriage with Ann Romanowna, sis ter of Beene 11. Emperor of the Greeks. From I that time the literature of the Greek% passed to the I Russians with their religion. Wladimer encouraged from Constantinople artists and artificers of all kinds —he entered into treaties of peace and amity with the neighbouring Princese - Boleslas, of Poland, Etienne, of ilungvf ry, and Ulric, .of Bohemia. The power of leussia increased rapidlyander Ms reign. They cousi- der Jarostow, the sett and successor of Windimer, as she first Legislator of Russia. h is sister, Ann, married Henry 1. King of Franceouid she became the too - finer of ail the Kings - and Princes of the Capetine eace. Under these two brilliant reigns, the Rue., setns established a regular trade upon the coast of i the Black Sea, founded new towns,- and gave them the laws that Jaros:ow himself had composed of • the Ecclesiastical ordinances, and caused all sorts of Greek books to be translated into the Sclavouie lengnage. But that rapid flight was suddenly arrested by the I divisiOn of the Erapireamong his twelve sons, a per nicious police which had commenced at the death of NVlallimer ttietireat. The vast regions of Russia being divided between 'natty Princes, there soon sprung op. three grand in. dependent Duchies--Novogorod. Ai ow, Wlaklimer, and many principalities, separated or feudatory ; it is the image of what happened in the rest of Europe, from whence proceeded divisions and intestine wars. A nation thus torn by faction and civil war, could not support itself against its barbarous upighbours, and became an easy prey to the Mon gols and Tartars, who seemed then destined to reign eerie the nine of the universe. Lett by the famous Tchinges-Khan, who had conceived the idea of con quering the world, the Mongols came from the north of Trireme , to subjugate the half of Asia. The maxim of that eerrible devastator was to ex terminate every thing that offered the least resistance. Tonsehi, his olds* sou, having approached the Cas pian Sea, to seek the Pelowziaus,. met the Russian Allies of that people. The battle was give on the 16th of Jones 1%28, on the bank; of the River Kat *ka. The Russians, coretnatided by Prince Kiovie, werelotally.defeated ; six lenssian Princes perished on the field, of battle, and all the West of Russia was opened 40 the Asiatic Conquerors ; from thence pro . ceeded the crowd of calamities that - fell •upon the! Ilerseiart -.llvn pi tee e ston-Khani the grandson 4 T;ciie:Bl4 7 gtio, and founder of the dynastystrgoit: eele ef'Ketestechnk, became et his bun: the tette:ilea 41..- Itussitsike He took Kezar, and Moscow, ettteiti' I ; I , ".1 1 11 E STA'I'ESM pieces a Russian army, took Kolomna, and sacked Wladimer ; he destroyed all the family of Surge 11. who was killed himself in battle. Baton-Khan pur sued his conquests in the North of llnssia, and after wards extended his ravages to the West, and made himself master of Kiovie, Kaminieck, in Podolia, and of Wladimer, in Wolhynia. The fate was, the Russians were the most deplorable ; they were but ''the slaves of the Tartars. The conquerors made lists of the people thee had conquered in the different principalities, and itn posed rents upon them, which the Khans exacted under the name of volunt a ry g ifts, but soon con verted them into annual tributes. Bereke-Khan, successor of Baton-Khan, was the first who had his tribute collected by his own Officer, the Re ceiver-General, who was at the same time Corn. mender of the Tartar troops in Russia, under the title of the Grand Baskake. He resided at ‘Vladi. mer, in the Palace of the Grand Dukes, and all i the Baskakes of the other towns and principalities were under him. The successors of Bereke-Khan increased the taxes, and made the Russian Princes themselves subject to military service ; some were compelled to attend in person on the hord of the. Khan of Kaptschak : these Princes were obliged to solicit as a favour a confirmation of their dignities ; they were made to walk between two piles of wood on fire, that they might purify themselves and the presents that they bore to their new masters ; they were also obliged to bow before an image that was , placed at the entrance of the , Khan's tent, where they often suffered , ignominy and death. The Grand Duke Michael was executed there in 1318 ; Dimitry • Michaeolowitz met the same fate in 13'26. Thus - was the terrible yoke of the Mongols forced upon the Russians for two entire centuries. In the end, when the power of the conquerors was enfeebled, the fate of the vanquished was not more deplorable. The Lithuanians, who had been for a long time ' tributary to Russia, cast oil the yoke, and in their turn became conquerors. They dismembered by little and little all the western part of the ancient Russian Empire. Towards the middle of the twelfth century, Ringold, Duke of Lithuania, assumed the dignity of Grand Duke. Gedmin, one of his sue- cessors, seized, in 1320, the city and principality of Kiovie, after having often beaten the Russian Paces, supported by the Tartars. All the Grand Duchy of Kiovie was conquered by the Lithuanians; Godmin was the founder of a new line of Grand Dukes, and of the towns of Troki and Vilna. Many R uss i an land Polish families as Chowanskoi, Galitzin, Ku. ! rukin; Scbtschenetew, Koreskor, Mtislawskoi, 'fru bezkoi, Tschertoritskoi, Bulski, bc. take their ori• gm from him. Thus Russia, after having suffered under the se. vere dominion of the Tartars for two hundred years, uas despoiled by the Poles and Lithuanians. She mas almost annihilated; she had no political exist- Nice, and seemed to have been effaced from the Powers'of the earth. Now did she rise from that state of humiliation and debasement? It is that which we shall examine in another article. We shall show how the Russian Empire escaped from servitude, and pre sented a new and brilliant prospect of greatness and audacity ; how she disunited those by whom she was reduced to slavery ; how she corrupted the one and enslaved the other; hew she extended her dangerpus influence; and how she provoked that redoubtable confederacy of Europe, the profound conception of the greatest getlius that ever existed, and the execu tion of which promises to France, her august Ckief, I and her faithful allies, new triumphs and renown. The body of poor Burke, the lamplighter, who was blown over the ballustrades of Blackfriars'- blidge, on Tuesday night, was picked op last night near Wapping, and conveyed to his disconsolate family. ItoeuraT AT Sucentan's Brig.—A few nights since, some villains effected an entrance into the dwelling-house of Mr. Tait, at Shepherd's Bush, by forcing open the kitchen-door with an iron crow, and succeeded in carrying off plate and kitchen utensils to a great amount. PCGlLlsm.—TestPrday a pitched battle was fought between George Folks and Little Andrew, two I journeymen bakers, in Copenhagen Fields. *Georgor ! Brown seconded Folks, and Paddington Jones Lit...l tte Andrew. The match was for five pounds. After' fighting 80 rounds in one hour and a half, Little An drew beat his man. lt was a real milling fight. An- : drew gave him enough to satisfy any glutton. was taken t o the Cock, Nei-street, Carnaby4marker, dreadfully beaten. After the 6g,ht, Snuff, who fought! Cats' Meat, commonly dined the Singing Boy, chat- ! longed the victor for 501 which Was readily accepted. Tl.ey arc to fight iti a month, if Mr. Snuff can get any body to back Maim:Rhin that time. • NlAtt. llouttralt.—lt is rather an extrordinary Lei I CUM Stance connected with the robbery of the Leeds mail-coach, that an interval of nearly three days should pass without the occurrence of a single fact that can lead to a disgovery of the robbers, or throw any light upon the mysterious trausaction, unless the following can be considered as of that description : On Tuesday, about noon, the guard, accompanied by two Bow-street officers, set out from town for the place where the robbery was supposed to have been committed. On reaching Bedford, they ob tained information that three men of a suspicions appearance, with a light caravan, had been seen in that and other towns on the route of the mail-coach, pre vious to the robbery. The officers procekded north wards in the track of the caravan, but had heard no farther tidings of it so late as Werluesday morning.— A report was prevalent in the city, that all the bags, I with a considerable part of the letters and property, I had been found in fields near the road-side, about mid-way between Kettering and Iligliam Ferrers.— This report proved to be unfounded. We formerly , stated,, that the guard declared he was not more than tire minutes in the act of leaning over the roof and conversing with the coachman ; and that, in this In terval, the 16 bags were abstracted ; but whether he affirmed the same in his deposition before the LORD MANon, the examination being private, -we have get' the means of ascertaining. We are now assured, however, that the guard travelled by the side of the I • iranchman, on the box, between three and four miles, pind that on returning to the dickey; he discovered he robbery, a story more consistent with probability °than the other; • ,N , LAW INrELLIGENCE. •, ) COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT. 'P. Adjourned Sittings Wore Lord BiLltilloiforfetr. snurns c. *Atter., S' This was an action on - a poucy..(;# insurance ef fected in October, 1810, pretnnini”of 40 guineas per cent. on goods by the ship Sophia, from London to the Baltic, against all.rsks, except British cap ture, and until delivered into the warehouse of the consignee, and with liberty to carry simulated papers. It appeared that the cause had been before tried, and that the goods insured belonged to a house in Prussia, and on their arrival in a Prussian port were seized by the Pruss:an Government fur tradieg with England. A verdict was then found for the assured, subject to the opinion of the Court, whether an uo iderwriter could be legally compelled to pay a loss to a Prussian subject arising from the seizure of the Prussian .Government. The question had been argued before the Omit, when it ‘s as contended for the Plaintiff that the Undorwriter knew the risk of seizure at the lime he wrote the policy, and meant to insure against it, which was denied on the other side, and a new trial was ordered, for the purpose of having the nature of the trade and other ciran stances enquired into. It was now proved, that for a considerable time previous to the signing the policy, the tittle with 1 England had been entirely prohibited in every port in the Baltic, notwithstanding which a very exten sive trade had been carried on by means of simulated papers and with. British licences ; but that the pro perty was seized when discovered to have come from England. The Plaintiffs also offered evidence to show that the Defendant and the other underwritets, when this risk was_ insured at a premiem of forty guineas per cent, knew that the seizure by the Go vernment was one of the risks to he incurred ; but this eddence was rejected. A verdict was again found for the Plaintiff, subject to the opinion of the Court, whether the underwriter is legally' liable to', the loss. 1 . . RV:ELTON .ALLMIT. This was an action uPon two P - olicilif of insurance upon the ship 'row Gesina, at forty guineas per cent. to return ten, per arrival; and upon the cargo of sugars at thirty, to return ten, at and from Heligoland to Memel. It appeared by the Captain's evidence, that the ship's intention was to touch at Gottenburgh for ; orders, whether the cargo was to-proceed to Memel or Anholt. The policies contained a liberty to seek ' for convoy ; and the ship would have: taken convoy I at Gottenburgh, if it could be proctired. Before: the ship could reach that port, however / . she !as captured by the Danes. Mr. MAanxxx-r, for the Defendant objected that the terms of the policies gave the ship no option to go to Memel or Anholt, and no right to go to Gotten burgh at all, the place for finding convoy being \Vingo Sound. Lord ELLENBOROUGH saved the point, whether there was an inception of the voyage in question, because the ship had in view a contingent alterna tive destination and.subject thereto, the Plaintiff had verdict. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, OCT. 29. • •N'UtsANCR. This was an appeal exciting great interest before about 40 of the Magistrates of the County of Mid dlesex, and Mr, MAINWARING, their Chairman, pronounced on the loth inst. by the Magistrates of Bow-street, Mr. READ and Mr. NAnts. I It was an information by 'a Mr. Kinnaird against : Mr. Soane, of No. 13, Lincoln's Inn-fields, north side, for projecting the front of his house, under the present improvement and decoration thereof, three feet six inches beyond the adjoining houses, and the general front of that side of the square, contrary to the Building Act, of the 11th of the King. The Magistrates below acquitted the L. , - Jetidant from the charge of nuisance, for which, if lconvicted, they have power to commit the par t y in ' definitely, until be abetp,the unisance. l. The Relator, bilds Copnsel, Mr. l'onLEy and '"Mr. ALLEY, contended that thejudgmeut below was seroug or erroneous, and that the present appeal well 1 ltty ; to the Quaiter Sesstoes, as 'otherwise the Act of ! Pu rliament wpUld by Wholly inoperative, and merely a dead letter. Mr. Gocxxii, against the appeal, denied and I ' eontroverted.the right of appeal now contended for , . - maintaining that the Magistrates below had a fud :'and definitive juriidiction in this case, .assimilating it to the case of an acquittal by the verdict of a Jury lafter a charge from the Judge, which could never be come the subject of an after trial, —the Magistrates, : in the present instance, having acted as if they were both judge and jury, and thereleing uo appeal spe. cifically given to a Relator by- the Act of Parlia- I meta. The CHAIRMAN now observed, without hearing 1 Mr. Wetherell on the same side with Mr. Gurney, that it was a case of much public interest, and of l'great doubt as well is difficulty in Ms mind, and those of several Magistrates, which they could not in this way decide, and therefore advised an appli. cation to be made to the Court of King's Bench• for a writ of Mandamus, to be directed to them, re .quiring them to hear and determine if they had power in this appeal. This , proposition was adopted. . A NOVEL, PROMPT. A N 4) PLEAQANT ' METHOD OF PAVING DEISTS. At the London Sessions, bolero the REconortt, and a Bench of Magistrates.—On Monday last, David Evans, was prosecuted on a charge of haring assaulted Charles Dunne. The evidence on this trial disclosed a series of facts, singularly curious, and a little interesting to tradesmen and shopkeepers. The Prosecutor, Dunne, had formerly been a sur geon, and though he still calls himself one, he has for years past been a Ruler in the Fleet Prison, and residing in Belle-Sauvage-yard, Ludgate-hill, — Dunne had received a bilk of exchange for :.'Ol. and upwards, drawn by one Schroeder, another Fleet I Ruler, and accepted by a person of the name -Of - Shorter, cif whom all that could be known with.cer -1 tainty, was the transportation of his wife. The Peteudant j Evena, havingjest pmuivlced - lau4siefs cm., his own ticconnt, was eksily duped, and pr , ivaited up o n to give twenty-four pounds worth of carpet to t)r. Donne, in exchange for this hill. It is needless to add, that neither drawer, acceptor, nor indoi s e r , were prepared with one sitilling when the bill becznle due. Th e unthinking Defettda;lt, had however, ti:e audacious preslittption to call on the Doctor for the payment of his carpets, when 111,-h Words led •to a scuffle, which tericinated in Etaits being ttirrott eat of doors, knocked down iii the street ; and bone.tly bear while down, by the mai.ly and Meath ziati Doctor. But neither the loss of the carp-ts, nor the severe manual chastisement, which the ur n :tAnatti Defendant had sustained, could satisfy the woundeA dignity, or socten the dre.idful ire of the lofty a n d choleric Doctor ; who followed up his insolent p;c6eiatt creditor, with an immediate indictment for an assn, ;f: The Jury, however, though they could entertain no doubts of the pugilistic powers, could not se rcadly enter into Cie Doctor's :setined feelivAs on the nature of this singular assault, and accordingly acquitted the Defendant, to the satisfaction of all result, except Mr. Dunne. It ought also to be know n , ti n t in addition to this indictment, the Doctor has found so many others against ,persons in sirailar cireinn. stances, that the itycottuEn, in the course ci the trial, addressing the Prosecutor, observed with pecu. liar emphasis—" Why, Sir! syou're a wholesale dealer in indictments I !" .I.:klL'A - OLD BAILEY. 0 CTOSIL:t. t!.9.
