ST. PETERSBURGH, AuG. 31.

I-Irs E R lAL 'MAJESTY ILis appointed FichL
Marshal COunt KAMEN';KI Governor of St. 'Peters-
burgh.

SEPTEMBER 3.

Yesterday the EMPEROR set off' for Kramosdo,
where 20,000 men are encamped ;* and to-day the
Emriess IYowdger goes from Pawlawsk to Gatschina
for the autumn.

His Imrai AL MAJESTY has published the fol-
lowing Ukase :

" flaying perceived in my late journey through-
several Governments, that notwithstanding previ--
ous orders that no particular preparations which
might be burdensome to the People should be in any
case made on account of this journey, the Magis7
trates had, however, permitted several things to
the contrary ; that in many Towns and Villages,
gates with various ornaments were purposely ered-
ed, the streets filled with trees and illuminated, and
other similar arrangethentS made by the People—
We have thought it 'necessary, to prevent similar
occurrences on the occasion of any tutufe jout'ney
either of myself or of any other person of the Impe-
rial House, to publish the following Rescript to the
Senate.—ist, That no one be ordered by the Ma-
aistrates either to meet or to escort us on the road.
zd, That the high roads be no where repaired on
the occasion of such journey, hut only at the usual
time.-3d, This prOhibition is to be applied, with
particular saianess, to ornamenting the streets and
villages, and decking them with trees without
rstots, as the forests arc thereby destroyed only fur
the sake of a temporary appearance.-4th, That no
person of the Nobility be ordered to receive us at
the different stations, except an Assessor of the
Court of the Distria, or according to the dire&ion
of the Marshal of the Nobility, one or two persons
of the Nobles to provide .for the regulation of the
relays of horses, and the due paythent of the money
for the same."

The following is a proof of the love of justice
which distinguishes our EMPEROR.-Many com.l
plaints having been made from Kaluga, of the un-
just sentences passed iu the Courts there, the EM.
EROR, to come at the truth of them, sent thither
a Senator, who stopped some days at Kaluga, as if
he had undertaken the journey merely to visit. his
own estate in the neighbourhood. During his stay
he found that every, thing was as it had been re-
ported : he therefore went unexpeaedly into the
Courts of Justice and spewed, the Imperial Mandate ;
in consequence of which the Judges are now before
the Criminal Court there, and the Governor is or-
dered hitLr to give the most minute account of .his
conduit before the Senate.

A letter lately received from the East India Com-
pany's faCtory at Canton, contains an account,
taken from the Pekin Gazette, of the general state
of the Chinese dominions, taken by the express .or-
der of the new Emperor, in order to establish and
regulate a proper police, and appoint Magistrates
in the different distrits where the police has been
dele6live : by this account it appears, that the Ern,
pire is divided into sixteen provinces, which contain
one hundred and fifty-five towns of the first rank ; •
one thousand three hundred and twelve towns of
the second rank ; two thousand three hundred and
fifty-seven fortified towns, and about fifty-five mil-
lions of people. Twenty-two different families
have been on the throne; the family now reigning
is that of the Tartars,. who conquered in the year
16.4.0. All the towns are so much alike, that those •
who know one are acquainted with all.
On Monday se'nnight was caught alive, in the
nursery-garden of Messrs. Brown, at Slough, a bird
of the black-bird species, with its plumage nearly all
of a clear and beautiful white, excepting a black
feather in each wing, and some on the head : it is
a very fine young bird, but had the misfortune to'
lose its tail at the time it ,was caught, in which
was only one black feather, the others were entirely
white.

•
The following singular occurrence' at Harrow_
gate has been communicated to us by a Gentleman
recently returned from'thatfashionable resort.-L-A
servant had, been "riding a small stallion poney, the
property of a physician in Manchester,' and
alighting, slackly -retained the rein whilst he stood
with his back towards ; the poney &redly
seized the man, threw him on the ground, knelt on
him, and in the most vengeful .manner, worried himr
to death the mangled corpse was rescued with diffi-
culty from the devouring beast,

THE EAGLE AND THE DEAlti,
A PAELt.

Once on a time (if Fante says right},
A'Braicri Eagle; large and bright,
In a Cathedral Church was placed;
And which in truth the building
Upon this Eagle's tail was wrote,
Some Latin words, meant to denote
The Giver; and which was a place on
Which the Parson read the le:son—,
This Eagle's lame thro' all the town
By ev'ry little boy was known
(And ev'ry little boy will say,
What pity iwas to take't away.)

There happen'd in that Town to be
A. as many D_lans there be;
But yet a common man they say,
Such as we moat with ev'ry ;iay—
Tho' to be sure he looked as big,
As any Bishop With his wig—
And then his CAssock all so gay,
Was worn in common ev'ry day.

It happen'd that this Bird, I wean,
Had never some ;Low pleased the Dean—
Who thouOt with safety that he ;night
Remove it somewhere from his sight ;
Thinking it not (as first 'twas meant;,
Unto the Church an ornament.

Long time this Bird had not been seen-7
No one supposing that the Dean
Had sold the consecrated creature—No—
'Twas cptite impossible it should be so.'
What ! sell.an Eagle that was given

By some good man of God Why Heaven
revolts at such a thought !! - •

But be't as 'twill the Bird was bought
... •

BY a right honest Brazier, as we're told,
And by the very Reverend Dean was soki)

ot when at night the Dean laid down -
To sleep—his dreams were not his own---
Sometimes the Eagle hovered round him,
And to his bed with talons bound him,
His eyes were fire—his tail was gold—
His legs, most dreadful to behold !
Were bOth clumpfooted ! and with piercing shrieks,:
ITWas thus he plagued the Dean tbr many weeks.
For many weeks the Dean looked sad,
His eyes were sunk, his visage sad—
But lo ! some pitying Clergy eased his pain,
And placed the Eagle in the Church again.
