The Entprds Dowager, the mother Of Atssitunta. sod the
great favourite of the Emprefs CArHIRINI, is looked up to by
all good Ruffians; and it was with extreme regret they law ter in-
; fluenee on her fon decline as it did ; but the great InWortune was,
Ise was at rilfit, and his mother at St. Peteriburgh. Had the
been there; the difagneable Treaty never would have bets rat!.

In what the writer of the above fides refpefling
the Emprefs Dowager, we believe there is feme
miflake. It has been generally wide: Rood in this
country, that that illullrious perfon was very marked
in her oppolltion to the late war with France, and
that, as far as her influence went, it was exerted to
difpofe the Emperor Ist.sx Allot a to a reconciliation
with that power. Since the peace, all her partizans
have got into power, and, among the reit, Box Hoy.
whofe conchal at the battle of Nitta was
Ilible to fo much fufpicion. She is laid to be the de-
cided enemy of BINNIOSIN.
