cation and a mixed education, embracing science
and the study of modern languages, the-Noble Lord
showed himself perfectly sensible of the great im-
provements required in the system of education in
our public schools, and was to some extent prepared
to promote it. Let Mr. HEYWOOD take courage.
A little perseverance, and his objects will be at-
tained—our public educational institutions will
be made national and worthy of the nation.

WARSAW, MARCH 11.

The Czar Alexander has placed on the orders
of the day of the army the last words of the late

Emperor :

" I thank my faithful guard who saved Russia
in 1825, and whose conduct has never changed.
I also thank my army and my fleet. I pray God
to perpetuate amongst ray soldiers their bravery
and good spirit, in order to assure the internal
security and the external force of the empire. In

that case woe to the enemies who may attack
Russia ! If the condition of all my subjects has
not been ameliorated as much as I wished, it is
because I could not do more."

ing only the signal of the Czar to overwhelm Europe
with resistless masses. One system of policy can alone
repair the fault of the past, and that is to let Sweden
resume her proper place in the councils of Europe ; then,
indeed, with the noble character of her people and their
undaunted bravery, a bulwark may be maintained
against barbarism. I speak from conviction based on a
knowledge of the country and historical experience, for
at all times and under every vicissitude, while labouring
under unmerited neglect, or distracted by internal
changes, Sweden has ever maintained her independence,
and remained true to herself.
" When the noble Armada of Great Britain is about to
plough the waves of the Baltic, may we not be per-
mitted to ask the British Government whether their
.ailor heroes and their chivalrous allies expect to meet
with less resistance in the northern islands than before
the fortresses of the Crimea ? Would not the war
assume another aspect if the Scandinavian army
of 80,000 brave and disciplined soldiers joined
the Western Allies, and if their unequalled fleets
were increased by the Swedish and Norwegian naval
Forces, including 300 gunboats, which are so essential
to the navigation of these shallow waters ? Might not
Finland hail the blue and yellow flag which for centuries
led her sons to victory ? and might not the Finnish
sharpshooter lay aside his deadly rifle at the sound of
his mother tongue—the language of Sweden, in .which
his Bible is written, and in which he lisped his first
prayer ?
" Let the noble British nation reflect on the necessity
of securing the independence of the north, and let it be
borne in mind that no great Power can with impunity
separate its interests from those of Europe at large."
