Every hour teems with events interesting to us, and of .taxiety to our enemy. Should he be able to rise out of his present apparently overwhelming diffi culties, he will, i'tdeed, nave credi, for extraordi nary powers of mind, as well as of body. One of our cotemporaries, however, , nth whoa opinion our own is not often in unison, affirm that the elements of his power ate cr ;Wiling to dust and that nothing remains firm in his grasp. It is added, that doubt and uncertainty arrest his course. With this latter assertion' we are more inclined to agree, since we are persuaded, that he would have been considerably ad vanced on his proposed journey, ,but for the doubt be has of every thing remaining quiet at home in his absence. lie is unquestionably uncertain ohat course to resolve on, being tortured with actual defection among his allies abroad, and alarmed by menacing insurrections at home. No•with standing all this, we cannot consent to promise our Readers, that " the elements of 800 4ev itrfs power are crumbling to dust, and that nothing re. mainst Frm in his grasp." On the contrary, we af firm, that these very eifficulties and dangers are the real elements of his power. The &aims of the republic called him first iwo totice ; his vigorous and unexampled conduct in the variety of dangers and difficulties he has passed throug.i, have only served to raise his fame, and that fame, or in ether words public opinion and confidence lo his tried skill mid Intrepidity, have served to make him grasp with more confidence, the force e bleb such opinion gives any matt. We fear he will have this same thing (Which, though not seen by the people in general of this country, is easily understood by the reflecting part of it) ; we repeat it, that we fear he will have this to grasp as long as he lives. His views are strait forward and palpable. lie has promised France eternal glory from 'military achievements. lie has flattered the people of that country with what his predecessors on the throne have for centuries in vain endeavoured to obtain, viz.— an elevation of fortune from the dowafal of Eng land ; and although he knows that a vain and fickle people are not easily raised to considerations of a correspoadent nature with those which have filled his breast ; yet be counts of bringlig them to by de sees, and reconciling them to the prodigious sacri fices they have been obliged to make, to invest him Nth another grand army. Sacrifices claimed often, if done with art, cease to be regarded as such. Men of far inferior talents to those of the man we are srakiug of, can exact sacrifice upon sacrifice, almost without a murmur now a-days; time changes, and we change with it. It was once said, that If the Ministir of that day, laid alai of a halfpeuny upon a pot - nk porter, the effect would be general insurrection, if_ not rebellion I Our Rulers, on the contrary, without one magnanimous qeality of mind (for courage proved or admitted will Ili. tin or credit for many other virtues), nen tau e .

(Signed) BARON DE, FELTENBORN. Imperial Rus.ina Colonel and Comma4ler of the Carp d'Arnure under Co3lllt Vna Wittgenstein. Posw, FEB. 20,—The follon in; is the Proclama tion issued by his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, by which a full amnesty is assured to the inhabitants of the late Polish, now Russian provinces:— 4 ‘ We, Alexander the First, by the Grace of God, Emperor and Autocrat of all Russia, die. 4.c. ac. make known to every one, That whereas, to the course of the present oar with the French, the main part of the inhabitants of the former Polish, but now Russian provinces and circles, have re mained loyal to us, and for such cause have an equal I claim on our favour and gratitude tewards them, with all our other faithful subjects; but there being others who hate, by numerous ways, drawn upon them our just anger. Some of these on the enemy's entering the borders of our Empire, either through dread of force and clolence, or because they expected to save their property from destruction end rapine, accepted the offices and employments forced on them by the enemy; others, whose num. bees are less, but whose crimes are much greater, as having taken the part of the foreign invaders, eteu before his irruption into their country, and took up arms with hilts against us; and preferred being his shameful abettors rather than remaining our faithful subjects. These last should feel the sword of jes. tice ; but as we have already seen the wrath of God peered out on them, which has beaten them to the earth, as well as those who have implicitly sumo. dared, and as we are inclined to hear the voice •of pity and compassion which holds sway in our breasts, *e make known oar general and free pardon s eon. signing every thing past to eternal silence and vion ; and likewi s ee forbid, iu future, all and every denunciation, in the perfect confidence that those who have been unfaithful to us, will feel the clemency of such procedure and return back to their habitations within the space of two months from this day ; but if any one of them should remain in our enemy's service after that period, without profiting by oar clemency, and continue in the commisioil of the same crimes after this pardon, iLssia , rill consklersthem as eon armed rebels, and nct receive them again into her ' , owns, tit the whole of their estates shall be con ..ted ; and although that the prisoners of war who ere taken with arms in their hands shall sat he et. eaded from this general pardon, yet we tenant, without infringement of justice, follow Ike Impulse of our hearts, until their captivity shall be ended by the conclusion of the present war. But area those shall likewise, in dee time, arrive at the enjoyment of the advantages granted by this our passim, which we eatend to ell and every one. Therefore may every intilvlderd partake in the genmel joy en the breaking el the pewee and total destruc tion of the emery of all natieee; ead with open hearts empress their gratitude to the .4- preroe Being I— We likewise hops that this, our fatherly forgieenesa t to whisk we have been impelled solely by sent to of &meaty, will bring the mis. guided to due repeettusee, aid, in general, prove to CI the inhabitant. et- dote provinces, that they, as • basins. al that part of the Press, cniitsrly salted upou to watch and at themost 0641 circumstance wi • favourable aspect, and Imago& wkkk loges the unwary Reader ties are nearly at au eud, and that speedily be lightened.

Every . power on the Continent is exhausted of every men: means than en: They have had no peaseto recruit I their exhausted coffers. It Is therefore who can gin' them melt, or promise them moat. They, how, ever, begin to be pretty good jqdges of *hat is feasible, and of what is improbable and impossible. Of one thing we may be sure, that • Ministers like ours, acting upon so erroneous a system as they have long- done, are very unlikely to persuade these powers to a vigerous co-operation with them, since they are not able to tell theui on what terms a Peaco, sodesirable tb every one State on the Conti nent, can be offered or agreed to. A new and ex: trenie great difficulty has arisen among those Cabi vets, by our countenancing the Proclamation of Lours XVIII ! since it gives them reason to apprehend, that if every other subject of war were exhausted, that claim would begin it anew; and as they, and every rational creature must suppose s would create ready conscription's and voluntary enrolments to prevent another and newer order of things and property in France—an order which would entail mischiefs on the peaceable classes of the French, as terrible as an anarchy or fresh Revolution. The Powers which Inow. aitt were, lye by for a declaration, are consi... dering which side can soonest enforce or cemmind a. Igeneral Peace.; and for that side will they give their 'nib ag,t and their aid. The Amerieau news is of considerable import, and we ohatir►e with peculiar satisfaction, the expedi tion with which the Bill for excluding British seamen for Wog employed on board American vessels, public and private, has passed the Legi Slat tins. This measure is the more pleasingly ominous to the well wishes for the restoration of peace, as it is the con sequence of an examination by a Committee formed on purpose, to enquire into the clauses of the mis understanding between the two nations. The Bill is too long and desultory for publication, but the sth clause will sufficiently demonstrate its tendency, and 6 as follows : ,411 • qr . • " And be it further' enacted, that if any Com mander of a public vessel of the United States shall employ, or permit to be employed, or shal) admit, or receive,. or permit to be admitted or received on board Ms vessel, any person whose employment or admission is . prOhibited by the. previsions of . this Acr, he shall, ou conviction thereof, forfeit and pay' the sum of •1000 dollars for each. person thus nnlawfully employed or admitted ow board such vessel. . • Mr. Pm's* Monument was on Saturday opened for the inspection of the public in the Guildhall in the City of London.
