WILL OF PETER THE GREAT.

In the name of the most holy and indivisible Trinity,
we, Peter the Great, unto all our descendants and suc-
cessors to the Throne and Government of the Russian

nation.
The All-Powerful, from whom we hold our life and
our Throne, after having revealed unto us his wishes and
intentions, and after being our support, permits us to
look upon Russia as called upon to establish her rule
over all Europe. This idea is based upon the fact that
all the nations of this portion of the globe are fast ap-
proaching a state of utter decrepitude.
From this it results that they can be easily conquered
by a new race or people, when it has attained full power
and strength. We look upon our invasion of the West
and the East as a decree of Divine Providence, which
has already once regenerated the Roman Empire by an
invasion of barbarians.

The emigration of men from the north is like the in-
undation of the Nile, which at certain seasons enriches
with its waters the arid plains of Egypt. We found
Russia a small rivulet, we leave it an immense river.
Our successors will make of it an ocean, destined to fer-
tilise the whole of Europe, if they know how to guide
its waves. We leave them then the following instruc-
tions, which we earnestly recommend to their constant
meditation :-
1. To keep the Rwsian nation in constant warfare in
order always to havo good soldiers. Peace must only
be permitted to remit the finances. To recruit the
army, choose the moment favourable for attack. Thus
peace will advance your project's of war, and war those
of peace, for obtaining the enlargement and prosperity of
Russia.
2. Draw unto you by all possible means from the
civilised nations of Europn—captains during war, and
learned men during peace—so that Russia may benefit
by the advantages of other nations.
3. Take care to mix in the affairs of all Europe, and
in particular of Germany, which, being the nearest na-
tion to you, deserves your chief attention.
4. Divide Poland by raising up continual disorders
and jealousies within its bosom. Gain over its rulers
with gold; influence and corrupt the Diet, in order to
have a voice in the election of the kings. Make par-
tizans, and protect them; if neighbouring powers raise
objections and opposition, surmount the obstacles by
stirring up discord within their countries.
5. Take all you can from Sweden; and, to effect this,
isolate her from Denmark, and vice versa. Be careful to
rouse thi ir jealousy.
6. Marry Russian Princes with German Princesses;
multiply these family alliances; unite your interests;
and, by the increase of our influence, attach Germany to
our cause.

7. Seek the alliance with England on account of our
commerce, as being the country most useful for the de-
velopment of our navy (merchant, &c.), and for the ex-
change of our produce against her gold; keep up con-
tinued communications with her merchants and sailors,
so that ours may acquire experience in commerce and
navigation.
8. Constantly extend yourselves along the shores of
Baltic and the borders of the Euxine.
9. Do all in your power to approach closely Con-
stantinople and India. Remember that he who rules
over these countries is the real Sovereign of the world.
Keep up continued wars with Turkey and with
Persia. Establish dockyards in the Black Sea.
Gradually obtain the command of this sea, as well as of
the Baltic. This is necessary for the entire success of
our projects. Hasten the fall of Persia. Open for your-
selves a route towards the'Peitidn, Gulf. Re-establish
as much as possible, by means of Syria, the ancient com-
merce of the Levant, and thus- advance towards India.
Once there, you will not require English gokl.
10. Carefully seek the alliance of Austria. Make her
believe that you will second her in her projects for do-
minion over Germany, and secretly stir up the jealousy
of other Princes against her, and manage so that each
be disposed to claim the assistance of Russia; and exer-
cise over each a sort of protection which will lead the
way to future domination over them.
11. Make Austria drive the Turks out of Europe, and
neutralise her jealousy by offering to her a portion of
your conquests, which you will further on take back.
12. Above all recall around you the schismatic Greeks,
who are spread over Hungary and Poland; become their
centre and support—as universal dominion over them, by
a kind of sacerdotal rule (autocratic sacerdotale)—by
this you will have many friends amongst your enemies.
13. Sweden dismembered, Persia conquered, Poland
subjugated, Turkey beaten, our armies united, the Black
and Baltic Seas guarded by our vessels, prepare sepa-
rately and secretly, first the Court of Versailles, then
that of Vienna, to share the empire of the universe with
Russia. If one accept, flatter her ambition and amour-
propre, and make use of one to crush the other, by
engaging them in war. The result cannot be doubtful,
Russia will be possessed of the whole of the East, and
of a great portion of Europe.
14. If, which is not probable,both should refuse the of-
fer of Russia, raise a quarrel between them, and one which
will ruin them both. Then Russia, profiting by this decisive
moment, will inundate Germany with the troops which
she will have assembled beforehand. At the same time
two fleets full of soldiers will have the Baltic and the
Black Sea—will advance along the Mediterranean and the
Ocean, keeping France in check with one, and Ger-
many with the other. And these two countries con-
quered, the remainder of Europe will fall under our
yoke.
Thus can Europe be subjugated

LEAMINGTON, JULY 31.—Every preparation is now
making at the Spa for that great aristocratic meeting
—the match between the Zingari Cricket Club and the
Leamington Club—which is fixed to take place on Parr
and Wisden's new and complete ground, on the 6th and
7th of August. The Zingari players will be Lord
Burghley, Hon. F. Ponsonby, Hon. R. Grimston, W.
Fellows, Esq., C. Harence, Esq., E. Hartopp, Esq., Rev.
W. Pickering, Captain Mundy, W. Vernon, Esq., C.
Morse, Esq., and F. Micklethwaite, Esq. The Learn-
ingtonians will be. represented by Lord Guernsey (M.P.
for South Warwickshire), Hon. A. Wrottesley, Hon. E.
C. Leigh, E. Elmhirst, Esq., W. and G. Bean, Esq., H.
lCnightley, Esq., Captain Smith, G. Baker, Esq., with
the two professionals—'vVisden and Palethorpo. The
Zingari, deriving their appellation from their wandering
movements, will be attired in their characteristic
Spanish brigand costume. The second horticultural ex-
hibition, open to all England, on the 23d of August,
owing to the greatly increased amount to be given in
prizes, will experience an augmentation of competitors
from all parts of the country, and decidedly wears the
palm of superiority as regards any similar provincial
meeting. A portion of the Haymarket company are ex-
pected to locate here for awhile, and among the events
of futurity is a visit from the brilliant successful Sontag
during her provincial tour. Other operatic stars are
also to shine in the musical hemisphere of the Spa—
G risi, Viardot, Catherine Hayes, Mario, &e., among the
number. The town continues to be crowded with an
unusual number of American visitors, its cleanliness and
healthfulness being the more inviting from the sickness
which so extensively prevails in distant towns. The gene-
ral list of arrivals contains the names of—Lord and Lady
Combermere, Hon. Miss Cotton, and the Baron de Berg,
at the Regent; Lady Campbell, Dowager Lady Mus-
grave, Sir A. C. Corbet, Bert., Lady and Miss Corbet,
Hon. Mrs. Macdonald, Lady Clinton, llon. Mrs. White
and family, Hon. Lady Browne, Hon. J. Boyle, Lady
and Miss Montgomerie, Sir A. Campbell, Captain and
Mr. E. H. Vandaleur, Captain and Mrs. Canning, &c.

Lncrezia Borgia was repeated here last night, for
the last time this season. Parodi, when she first ap-
peared in the character of Lucrezia, produced an im-
pression, by her highly tragic conception and deve-.
lopment of it, which subsequent representations con;
firmed. As in her other principal parts, her Lucre-
zia is improved, mellowed, rendered more perfect by,
repetition, and last night's performance was through-
out triumphant. Together with Moriani, the Gen-
naro, she was called before the curtain and warmly
applauded. Alboni's brindisi was of course encored,
and the ensemble of the opera was excellent.
