• ‘f Fot sorne months past, the innumerable NeAys-
papas and Journals which umndate rance,,Ger-
many, and even Englintl, have been tilled with' iv-
Marks, notices,- and declamations upcn. the Rug-
sian Empire. Each of their Editors has given .full
scope to his pen, and seems to have bewildered
hiniself in Speculations and reasonings on ,the al-
- of Europe. Many of them socin to thave made
it their' business to excite uneasiness among other
Powers, with respe& to .the strength; the influ-
i ence, the proposals; and the tendency of the
tics of the Cabinet 'of: St. Petersbni'gh. Sonie have
even indulged .theinselyes in dissemitions exPres-
siveof• a spirit and a tone that cannot fail remind-
ing us of the language of the 4ssei-gbly of the
Croakers, and- the avowed cant of the Mauntain
Party (hiring the French Revolution*.
" I conkss, Sir, that, :for some time past, the si-
knee of Russia to me appeared incomprehensible-
Paticace'i Sajd I; has:ils limits, ant; the public opi;
nion must be once more carreded. Was it a detici-
ency of zeal, or as superfluity prideiShich 'aced"-,
sloped the Ministers,:,to suspetled ain
difference ?--In fad, it is neither the one nor the
other, and We must candidly confess we were wi'ong
in' aceuSing ourselves.. Ruisia has spoken,--!-but
with the due observance Of diploMatic forth, and
Ali fall thedipity at a Power I)enetrated with the
consciousness of its importance, the purity of its
principles, and7the reCtitude of its views.
• " The Emperor ALLX,V,.IDETt, though indefirtiga
Illy engaged in promoting the happiness of his Peo-
ple, has not been inattentive tome fate of the Con-
tinent. He 'wished to restore peace to the world,
without being guided by any interest but that of hu-
inanity ; without any designs, with regard to his own
Empire, excepting the security of 'those advantages
inseparable front the general gnod.
" This Monarch has broughtforward a very con-
' siderable force by land and water, which has sud-
denly., Made its appearance in the Baltic and the
lonian Sea ; upon the Banks of the Inn, and the
Vistula. Through the medithu at' these movements,
as 'remarkable for their extent as their promptitude,
Russia, has, spoken again ; and now declares to all
Europe, in support of her pacific negotiations, that
'her only abject is to,accelerate the peace of the
ritirld: This., Sir, is the most tomplete,auswer to
the alarms, -the falsehoods, and the 'idle -specula7
dons of so many contemptible scribblers.
,To me
Russia reserubles the ',Miner vq, the exquisite Hiatt:
piece of PHIDIAS, Majestically reposing in her tein-
ple, receiving the offerings at Gre.%:ce, and extorting
taniveHal admiration, while envy tormenti ,liaSelf to
censure the Artist, and' Slander vainly endeavours to
drag him to her own Tribunal, I ei:nifesS, Sir, that
for an Empire half harl.%irous, an epithet vifich
.certain jourind has been tJleased td'ooliter upon
sin, the part she is now aanig Is Mast meritorious
and honourable."

Ii rOrTiailled to be attentpted, to the world the
oue black chara;:ter of the unprincipled COrSie;:4l.3. to
was conceived to he of initlortanee to prevent or de-
feat that union of view .a and operations .which might
be expected to result from the .persooal conference
between the two young Monarchs of Ittr:;sl.l and
Pitusstx, and a plan .was
.in eousquence forinod by
the Vrench to gt...t the person of the Emperor of
RUSSIA into their possession, The following par-
ticulars respecting this transaaioa are given in a Let-
ter from Banaburgh of the
" .t must daring outrage , against the Laws of
Nations and the Customs of. Civilized Europe was
lately attempted, but most.providentially frustrated.
In this hellish plot the Eleitor of BAVARIA, whose
hypocrisy towards the Emperor of GERMANY would
alone have been stifficient to hind down his name
, with, infamy to posterity,' was to have been a prin-
cipal agent. A tree passage for a body of thirty Ba-
varian Soldiers through the territory of Gotha WilS,
asked and granted t' but only a few bolus betb:e they
were to babe arrived, the l)tike 'received 'certain in-
formation that they were .French Regicides in ths-
, guise, ,and that their errand was. to seize on the
person of
,the .Emperor of Russia. 'Not a moment
was lost by the Prince 'to defeat the objet • of these
desi.seradocs the, permission tbr their passage
through his territories was instantly revoked, and
orders givers .to prevent froturtitat moment, with the
greatest vigilance; every attempt that might be made
to:evade the mandate. The faCts. which I have stated
received from snch high and Indisputable autho-
rity, that I tan 'roach fur their euttenticity. It it
to be.hoped that the detettion of this and similar
'atrocious violationi of the received usage of Nations,
will induce a proper eiretunspettion in every quarter.
A more than common vigilance is necessary against
an Enemy who can have recourse to huh 'i,liabolkal
machinations.
Ten at Night--The Swedish Troops who re-
turned over the Elbe are still in Limentaurg. The
Russiani have orders to march with the utmost speed.,
and broke up on the 23d, from Lunehurgh to the
Weser. General Doti. 'and General Tor.s.rov are
gone to the Duke of BRUNSWICt, at Hildesheim.---
General Du, ou MLR is landed from England. Mr.
GAIII.I/4.$ is arrived at Hamburgh. ',One cause of
the dissent on between the Xing of 'S wrot.zt and.
the King of PausszA is, _that the former has pro-
tested against the occupation of Hanover by the lat-
ter, in his quality of Guarantee of the Treaty of
Munster."
To the particulars contained in the above Letter,
we have to acid, that our Letters from Berlin mention
the arrest of a person from South Prussia, a; he was
4oing tp Potsdam r He was arrestettat the village of
Otegletz, and Sent, to Spandau,' Where he is kept in
close ectffinement. It would not surprise Us to hear
that this; has 'WorWitiott with some other dark plot.
