-RUSSIAN EMBASSY.
It is whispered in Washington, that the
mission to Russia, (the boldest Bight yet
taken by our Executive,) was advised by
Mr. Pinkney, our Miniate* at the Court of
London. This whisper which proceed*
from high authority, is, like many other
artful tale*, communicated from hand to
hand in far the purpose of add
ing to its credit and importance, and in
suring its publicity. The intention at the
whuper is twofold.
11 tot, Ta tepnafer, if pomfefe, ttf odtnse
tof an unpopular mission from Mr. Madi
son** to another's shoulders.
2d, To decompose a belief, daily gain
ing ground among the people, that the
mission had for its objects combined opera
tion with Russia against England, on a
system proposed by Bonaparte, and which
has been several years maturing.
It is not necessary either to affirm or de
ny, that Mr. Pinkney advised a mission to
Russia, but we will asaert without baaard
ing the contradiction of any one cognisant
of the affair, that the object of the mission,
did not flow from Mr. Pinkney's advice,
but on the contrary, was in the contem
plation of a democratick Executive, before
Mr. Pinkney was invested with the charac
ter of a Minister.* The merit or demerit of
this measure, it* good or evil qualities and
consequence*, belong exclusively to Bona
parte, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Madison.—-
The first named of these |>er*onage* con
trived it, the second adopted it, and canted
it. notwithstanding various opposing cir
cumstances, to be carried into effect.
We shall state tome of these circum
stance* chronologically a* they occurred.
Mr. Jefferson, a few days before the end
of the congressional session, which com
menced in December, 1808, nominated to
the Senate, Mr. Short, Miniate.’ Plenipo
tentiary to Russia, having previously ap
pointed him to that office during the rectos
y Congress. Thia nomination it will be
rementered was wsanimouoly rejected by
, the Senate. Tbe camu Senate having it*
sitting continued fur a few day* after th*
•edMMb *f Mr» Madison to th* Presiden
cy, this gentleman nominated John Q.
Adams t* th* office they <ufu*ed to Mr.
Short. The Senate not having tbe knpor
taat secret confided to them, nor being
able to comprehend in what respect, a
Minister In Russia could render commer
cial services to the United States, when
for upward* dt 10 years the wapt of on* at
that court had net been experienced by our
merchant* or tbe cuintry, rejected also
this nomination. This second refusal to
concur to the mission no wise abated the
ardour of Mr. Madison in favour of k, stUI
less could publick clamour and suspicion,
both of which were roused, turn him from
hi* purpose. At th* extraordinary moat
ing of Congress convened by proclamation
during the tort year Mr. Madison again put
In nomination Mr. Adams* who was finally
approved of by a small majority, although
nothing had sebaequentty transpired, which
could render sueba mission more advise-
, • Seethe admissions in the Geuemmempapers.

When'we reven to the state of things ha fl
Europa, at this period, bis ooUdtudu an< fl
hurry may be aeeouetod foe. It wBI be fl
recdleoted, that Alexander deolared hkn- i

Jefferson appointed and fastraeted Shute,
who had returned from France, and w*a . ifl
then in Philadelphia, to bow at the foot- I
stpol of the Emperour on hi* way to the ?|
court of Alexander. ' Need we add, that
Mr. Madison appears to have felt and act*
cd under the full force of these Imprea- |
slons; that he has undevfatingly follow
ed the footstep* Of his predecessor; and
proved himself th* faithful and KXtau*
chief of an unprincipled faction.
What renders Mr. Madison now dnrirduo
to get rid of the responsibility of this oris
sion, and shift it upon the shoulder* tf ; '
another ? We answer: the great unfaroa '
seen end unexpected change in the aflhlrt I
of the ok! continent, since the projection ■
and adoption of Adam*'* Embassy.
The wtogsof the Imperial Eagle, undeF ’
which Anfericano 'were invited to ** B*w\

by the tfttle* of Emltotf and Wagmm/ \

these twS tremendoss conflicts, the Arph*

queronr, The power of Bonaparte wa*
shaken to It* centre, ffe cowered, while
tho Eagle of the North clapped its wing*
in triumph. All Austria saw and hailed

to ba a period at which to recover breath.
not a peace, and ft was recognised with
pleasure, that Alexander, In ordering his I
force* not to ntove beyond the confines of
Gallieia, had become sensible, that to aid
in augmenting the power of Bonaparte, ,
was to assirt in lessening hi* own, apd «
opening a route to the subjugation of Rufi
•U - ' W
’ We will suggest another cause for tta» < I
circulated whisper a* to th* origin cf tffb
Russian Embassy. Mr. Madison and thu
democracy are becoming sensible, that an
important portion of the Union, constituting
our chief strength and bulwark *f defence,
is decidedly against the object of th* mis
sion—that rather than form an alliance dl*
rector Indirect with France, d spirit of
resistance would b* displayed by * pewsf*
ful body of the people, not very agreeabte
to Mr. MadisonY delicate nerves, and ma- t
terially interfering with bi* plans for fu
ture aggrandisement.
We cannot but remark with pain and
regret, of a man, whose early life pro- w )
mised better things, thst every step of Mr. z
Madison respecting our foreign relations, '
bear* well defined marks of machiavelliM
policy—-betrays a rooted and invqtftntu
hatred to England, extravagant . ,ij
sion for France, and a devotioh, hot to be
shaken, to those baleful phiieeophica! pritH
ciples, which rendered his predecessor so
conspicuous for hypocricy, practice! folly,
and experimental igftonncu. If, fortu
nately for mankind, Alexander shall hav*
veered about, let us kfip* that Mr. Adam*
is provided with Instructions, which will
enable him to veer also, and save his
country from being plunged Into a ruinous
and fearfto vortex.
