k tailing on the officers o► the Company's army to adhere to their duty, correcting the erroneout opi nions which they had received regarding the powers of Gorerntuent, and describing the unjustifiable uatu►e and dangerous consequences of their pro ceedings. The Governor in Council learned with deep regret that these measures of moderation, these repeated and urgent appeals to the discipline, duty, national attachment, and professional humour of the Company's Officers, were eiltirely ougatory, that the memorial► continued to be circulated, and that the sentiment, of the sedition were openly de clared in many parts of the army. The further forbearance of the Government would hare encou raged the progress•of those evils, a course of expla nation and exhnrtatiou had been pursued in vain, cud it became imperiously necessary to check, by a salutary example of puuial •lit, a spirit of insubor dination that threatened the most dangerous cone. iiiiences to the prosperity of the Empire. The (;mere! Orders of the let May last were according ly passed. The Governor in Council is concerned to state that this example, which was confined to the per sons who were principally Instrumental in promot ing sedition, and of whose delinquency the most tuple proofs existed, and which was intended to ob viate the necessity of more extensive paniehments, f ailed to produce the beneficial effects anticipated from its adoption, and that principles of Menton. disirtiost and sedilion continued to preyed among the Company's Officer., if poesible, with aggra vated violeace. The Company's Officers of the Hyderabad subsidiary force, whose good conduct, in refusing to affix their signatures to the seditious addresses, had received the approbation of the Government, intimated to the rest of the army, in an address dated in May host, scarcely less re prehensible than the papers which had incurred the essismidiereion of the Government, their participa tem its the disaatfection which prevailed eft exten sively in the Compauy's army. The Officers at Hyderabad followed up this act by threatening, in an address fluted led, ,1%..e, transmitted direct to the Governer in Council, to septette themselves from the authority of the Goverutuent catellikahed over them by their eouutry, unless I. submission be yielded to their menaces by abrogating the 11 , riseal Orders of the let May ; and the Cow peity'a efficers at Masulipatain imprisnued their consurinding officer, awl to preparation to de *ea the post entrusted to their charge, and to join the Hyderebud sebeidiary force, thereby involving, on account of views termite, to themselves, the men under their command in the guilt of rebellion, end furnishieg to the native troops a dangerous ex ample of rests-atter to authority. The Governor in Count.l etal anxiens to impress on the minds of the Company's Officers a sense of the Metro priety of their conduct, published to the tinny the dispatch from the Supreme Government, dated 2 tat May last, which contained on eutire approval of the measures of the Government of Fort St. Geor4e, anal stated the most forcible and conch,- t!vc arguments 'Oust the eyetein or faction and illegal combinatiou which had been intrn(uced iuto -the coast army. This solemn dessision or the Supreme Authority in litlia has also proved to be tuetfecteel, the offieete at Hyderabad, although they knew the seistinsents of the Supreme Goreromeot, refused in a body, in a letter to their Commanding Officey, elated the stii of July, obedl ence to the orders of Government for the march of a hattaliou from Hyderabad, adding, as a (breed, that its services might NOOII be useful to their cause, and have since forwarded to the Government, in a paper dated the 21st of July, thee idioms oil which they are willing to return to their ditty, and which they require the Government to accept, in order to avert the impending awful evils, evils which can result only from their owls cri Meal determinstien to place themselves in the situation of enemit'a to their coun try. The conditions on which those officers p, e . stone to state thut they will yield olreslicoce to the hallooed authorities, utford further pistols or the no turf of their designs, for thee demand the public re vocation of the Gen-rail Ordeet of the lst of May, the restoration to their rank and appointments of all Officers rrmcved by this Government, how. ever ulitioxiuus and erianitsal the conduct of t ;lose O.licer. wily have been, the dismission from uillee of thl‘.ollieers of the General' Staff, who may !Ai roppmed to have advised the Govern ment, the trial by a General Court Martial of the Officer commending 711a.olopetain, who was arrest ed by his own d:soltedient t)tfi;•err, and, fiii.tly, au amnesty for the conduct of me Compiles. * * erine--.

The Governor its Canned perceives, in the fore ;ne( course of proceedioces on the part oldie Eu ropeau Officers of the Ceinpany'rs army, which has espial!), resisted measures of forbearance and pa 'sediment, so determitted spirit of revolt, that must, waless speedily repressed, produce the must fatal rietequenees to the Constitution and authority of the ( ioverinnelit and the interests of the station; no mean• compatible with the rim slur and authority of the Govern:mitt have been omitted to recall the Company's officers to a sense of their deity as lel dieres and of their allegiance as Britirh subjects ; the forbeerance displayed by dui Government, un der mretrisiminces of aggravated indignity, demon write the satisfaction with which it would bare re garded any thoprwition on the part of the Company's officers' to ineuifest the usual obedience required from all reldiers. No dispoeitinii, however, of that nature has appeared ; on the contrary, there of ficer., by a systematic course of aggression and M. onboniiiiation, have forced the Government to adopt meamres of the met decided nature for the sup. port of its authority. The Governor in Canoed would be guilty of 11 most s rtminsl desertion of his duty and the airlift of his country if he were capable of confirming the evils of *Anion and mutiny by a submission to the nieurces of • boil ! of men placed by the law oierlei his Goreeisineot. Such a course or proceed. tug would peortrate the anthonty of the State : e eld ens fare w dretirected and sedrtiotra‘frtoine, it Won T cifecteally incapacitate ills and every succeed; Government frem executing the functions of Ad ministration, and would be fatal to the prosperity of the Empire in India. by uttordiog an example of successful opposition to authority, and by weak ening ,the power and dignity of the Gover ~,,, ent, which in this country are peculiarly essential to its existence. Influenced ky these considerations, the Governor its Council has considered it to be his sacred duty to resist every appearance of concession to the threats of insubordination and faction, and to employ the power and inealts at the disposal of Government for the restoration of its discipline, and maintenance of i ts honour anti authority. In this state of afliiirs, it is a source of the most gratifying reflection, that the zeal, loyalty, and discipline of His Majesty's troops, and of many of the most respectable officers of the Company's army, cos biutol with the fidelity generally tuasti feated by the Native troops, will enable the Go vernment to accomplish the important object of re establishing public order. The good conduct of Ills Majesty's troops. during the dissensions that have occurred, their zealous adherence to duty, the preference which they have manifested to the priii ples of honour, virtue, and patriotism, over the per sonal views and disorderly passions which prevailed around them, reflect the greatest credit ou their character, and demonstrate that they are animated by the same ardent love of their country, which has distinguished their brother soldiers in Europe. His Majesty's troops under this Government will pos seas the gratifying reflection of having deserved the approbation and gratitude of their country, and of' having eminently contributed to the preservation of an important branch of the empire. The Governor iii Council entertains a hope that the Company's Officers, who have threatened the Government of their country with the moat serious tel.; who have dematisied, as the coaditiou of be ing faithful to their duty, the execution of measures degrading to the character, and fatal to the interests of the state, will pause, before they attempt to pro ceed further in the course of sedition and guilt which they have pursued. It has been the ear nest wish and anxious desire of the Governor in Ctt'uncil, to avoid measures of extremity, to re iseahlish order by the course of law, and to give up to military trial the authors of the pre sent seditious. proteedings. In prosecution of measures so consonant to justice, so necessary for the restoration of discipline, and so conform al,le to the ordinary course of military government, the Governor in Council is persuaded, that he shall have the concurrence of all persona in the civil and military service, who have not banished host their minds every sentiment of national feeling, and he exhorts the officers of the Company's tier vice by submitting to that course of measures, to avert the evils which they are precipitating upon themselves. Such a result, gratifying at any period, would at the present moment of national difficulty, be peculiarly acceptable to the views and feelings of the Governer in Council, and adverting to the zeal mid patriotism by which the officers of the Compawy's Army have been distinguished, he still encourages a hope, that by manifesting obedience to the Goverment, they will obviate the adoption of measures of extremity, wrest the certain cense queue** of their past conduct, and promote the 'co loration of general confidence, order and discipline.

It will not, I trust, be asserted, that redress should be insisted upon, thomeli the COVrfOl. meat tile): be destroyed in the attempt ; but the Officers seem to consider themselves irrevocably engaged, by certain pledges and promises, front whence they think they cannot recede with honour to themselves. A promise from one officer to another is assuredly a solemn obligation, and one that should tmt be tightly abandoned; lint the offieers should seriously reflect, that there are sailed pledges nod mouth.. which are antececkat sad superior to those :hat they have given to support their present desperate u idertaking.

STATE 01 LUKOPE, ♦T THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE YEAR lelo. (Coutioued from our Paper of yesterday.) In surveying the position, resources, and facul ties of apparent resistance to the overwhelming power of Bonaparte, possessed by the Continental States of the first rank, Russia, unquestionably, presents itself under an imposing and formidable aspect. Alexander has not beheld, like Francis, his capital twice entered by the enemy, plundered, and finally dismantled. He has not been com pelled, after seeing his provinces ravaged and spo bated, to abandon all the surest sources of future revenue, to renounce every avenue or access to the sea coast, and to retire into the interior of Hungary or Bohemia, Bearded by the satellites of his con queror. Neither, like Frederic William, has he seen his kingdom dismembered, all his ports and harbours closed. the industry and commerce of his people paralired, a revolutionary adventurer in fested with the most precious portion of Brandeis burgh, and little else than a mere nominal sore. reigoty left to its defenceless possessor. Lastly, the Russian Czar, however subservient, ace.iiies cent, and intimidated, has not, like Charles IV. basely and pusillanimoits'iy rurrendered to s faith. less Corsican, his .eapitaL his garrison% his army. and his person. The magnitude of the Russian empire, its immense and incalculable means of every kind, European and Asiatic, the valour of its armies, and the very distance at which Nature has placed it from France. together with the diffi culties of penetrating to Moscow. *ems totems and deserts impervious even to Charles XII. as they were found by that Prince—all these circumstances seem, on a first glance. to point out Russia ass State which might oppose insurmountable impedi ments, and might even set limits to the revolu tionary progress of Napoleon. But, calculated as they are to awaken such an expectation, they are, we fear, incapable of fulfill ing, or of realizing it. On a timer, and more se vere inspection, this vast terrestrial sass, compris ing so large a part of the habitable globe. will be found to want every principle of ritabty. energy. freedom, or successful resistance. In order to re mare the deceptive veil which covers the debility of Russia, and to expose the position Dow advanced in the clearest light. it is indispensable to define in some measure the eaters and composition of that empire. We shall then see iiith irresistibl e „.. Bence, the causes of its impotence, v hilr parr. it.,!. ed by the insiguia and attributes of strength. i f , ponderous, unwieldy, and overgrown tubric, si Nt b extends from the Arctic Circle eunserd to Kato. schotke, and south to the hinders of Cliiene,Tl4l.l, Perris, and Turkey, cons:its of two distinct, !t r i m ; enema, and conflicting principles, physical sus political. Alexander, like the Ottoman, Sults% N at once au Asiatic and an European Prince. Like them, too, he is a despot, uurestrumed by any p t ,. pular Assembly, or States, or Cortes, or Wadi.. meat, or Representative Body, that might reguist, his authority. Nor is Constantinople more in power of the Janissaries, than is Petersim rgh of ite Imperial Guards. If the seraglio has beeu with the blood of its masters, m have the palart,or the house of Roinanow. Three Emperors in it, . cession, Jaen, Peter 111 d. and Paul, have in It! , been massacres', either bye faction, or by the is. dividuuls of their own family. Of all the throitei, from the LOII.OIIOfUS to the Atlantic, that of Itu,sis is confessedly the most precarious, reetdutiotur % , and insecure. Even Bonnparte's tenure of im.cr may he esteemsd less tinkle to. accident or sutAtr siou than that of Alexander. here lies the true solution of the paradox before us. Napoleon. who well understood it, applied ha conducting wires to the feeble part of his adrems e o machinery. As Czar of Mageory, Alexander, liter the defeat sustained at Friedland. might, by re. tiring into Lithuania and Smol-nsko, have defied the rower of Bonaparte, as Peter the Crest hsii done, a century earlier, when attacked and tr.. railed by l'hurlos the Taelfth. The Ciir.ic.n neither could, nor would. hare planged the Ukraine, in pursuit of his 'enemy, he had nobler game in view, and nearer borne, Spain sod Portugal. But, as Emperor qf Russia, Alramultr 'ay at the mhrcy of his conqueror, and could only escape destruction by becoming the most deicited, abject, and seelituissive of his vassals. Let us re collect %he commanding attitude and eminence en which Napoleon stood, in June, 1807, when 1, niutte the Peace of Tilsit. The summer wns stilt before him. From the banks of tlie lento 14 those of the Neva, he hod net above 550 r0i1.,; to march, through the t rule plains of Courbind, L:- roma, Esthocia, and luy„ria, along the shore 414 Baltic. Not a mountain, and scarcely a hill, :sir' posed his progress. No magazines were wanted at that season. All the provinces to the south of the Gulf of Finland, and even beyond its tertninatim, at Cronstadt, had been either conquered from the Swedes, under the reign of Peter the First, or bail been seized, and violently incorporated with the Ruesian Empire, by Catherine-the Second. Evesr one of those states was ready and ripe fee ()u the ling entrance of the French into Mit taw, Riga. Revel, and Nana. thole weight have thrown off the yoke, spa hare either separate governors, or have accepted, at Bonaparti:a hands, whatever individual he might have thought proper to place over them, by whatever title or de nomination, as Duke or King. Petersburgh, ea open and defenceless city, could not hare resisted for a single hour ; and Cronstsdt, though it nogLt fl pr e u e z w ct ai tl u ie ie e i n c t i r s e i t n ic a e r o te r at t t ritnh oader by land.
