WM, 'oblong, famines, lite. left by the Russians, are employed to
strengthen the works of Prep. The Russians had all their heavy
cannon, 100 In number, in the wood. In order to bring them off they
took the horses from all the waggons, carts, at; yoked them to the
cannon; and galloped away in such haste, that of many pas, only
the fore part reached headinarters. On Good Friday, and the fol.
lowing day, consecrated Easter—cakes, hams, eggs, wines, and all
sorts of eatables, were sent from the city in 50 waggons, to the army,
in honor of the holiday.

It is evident that no election that ever took place in this
country, is likely to be productive of so much public ex-
citement, as that which is soon to commence. It is evident
that public sentiment was never perhaps so unanimous in
support of the Government ; and it is likewise evident,
that the present state of the representative laws, confers on
Government considerable influence at elections. From these
almost evident circumstances, it might be supposed, that the
result of the election might, with absolute certainty, be pre-
dicted to prove decisively in favour of Ministers and Reform.
But sometimes a conviction of strength is apt to produce a
dangerous confidence ; and it has not unoften occurred,
that the noblest of causes have been lost from this
tendency. It must not escape the notice of the
reformers, that the spirit which animates and directs their
exertions, is of a more comprehensive, and, therefore, lees
intense character, than that which will animate the little
band, now combining
_their wits and purses, to frustrate
the cause of reform. Each individual of them is not
animated by a public, but properly an individual spirit.
It i 3 not amor patrice, but l'amour propre, that is the
groundwork of their seal ; and each private of their
ranks, combats with that concentration of their entire facul-
ties, which, in most cases, only characterizes the General.
Those who derive their subsistence—who enjoy the means of
unproductive luxury—from established abuses in the con-
duct of government, are animated by the same instinc-
tive personal spirit of perseverance, which animates all the
creation, in providing for themselves and young. In reality
that is the identical spirit which should animate the refor-
mers ; for his subsistence, and that of his family, depend
likewise on the success of theßeform and the consequent legis-
lative corrections which will proceed from it; but this personal
interest in the mode of reform is indirect, and not so clearly
seen, as the personal interest of those, who get their daily
provisions from the public granary. For these reasons,
we cannot too strenuously urge our ibllow•countrymen to be
aware of the enemy—to be zealous and vigilant. They
cannot too much make the support of the cause during
the election' the great business of their lives. They must
watch every hole and corner of the state-machine, for there
the vermin are prone to lurk ; and one rat left, to gam
through a plank, may sink the ship.

Vex lc F., April 12.—Our governor, from an order ema-
nating directly from the Austrian Grand Chancellery, and
signed by his Serene Highness Prince Metternich, has com-
mitted to the agents sent for that purpose the unfortunate
General Zucchi, who has been transported to the fortress of
Gratz, in lower Styria. It is announced that his compani-
ons in misfortune will quickly depart for their various desti-
nations.
