laid before the reigning euiserat, backed with whatever arguments the
minister s•ay judge most likely to effect his purpose: the Emperor
usually approves, and an order is signed on the imperial treasury
for the sum mentioned in the misnames. Tiii. is pocketed by the
minister, who. by a judicious application of certain portions
of it, soon obtains from the magistrates. or chief officers of the canal-

Natiettai schools *CU: establisi.ed oy Catherine the second, who,
coning front a German state (Wirteninerg) celebrated for the excel- 1.
lene • of its systems of education, was anxious to secure the same ad-
vt.:motes for her adopted country. Nothing could be better devised
than the plan of-these establiehments ; and bed it been carried into
effect. would not now have ranked so low as she does in the scats
of moral civilizatimi : but it seems to he the tate of this devoted empire
to stick poison even hum the most wholesome viands ; and her bat in-
stitutions have invariably been soon changed into sinecure posts fur dis-
card.tl favourite., or parasitical dependants. This has been particularly
the case with the national schools.; old soldiers and others, for
whom it has been judged necessary to make some provision, having
actually been appointed mums of thae establishments; though it has
been well known, at the very moment of their appointment, that they
could neithet write nor even read.
The ostensible number of the army of a gammon thus constituted,
must, of course. be Tay different from its efficient force y as every
thinking man must be aware, that it is impossible the system of decep-
tion, already described, should not extend itself to the soldiery. Tie

;rd. d he ween the civil and military functionaries employed ; and when
kespeett.rs are appointed, whom it is not convenient to bribe, a show is
got tip on the plan of Prince Potemkin, to deceive them. Two remark.
able instances of this were related to the writes by a Polish officer.
the latter having actually occurted in his own regiment.
A regiment of dragoons was ordered to the frontiers of Persia,
and the command given to a relation of one of the favourites of the
Court, an inspector being appointed to visit the general every three
months, to see that his troops were in serviceable oo.er. The two
newly-arpointed nitleen set off together ; and after the inspector bad
examined the soldiers and their appointments, and delivered them to
their new commander, they went to dinner.
Well, my good fri" said the general," this will be a loci
jemmy for you to take four times a year ; can we not devise some
means to render It unnecessary ?"
The inspector, nothing loath, consented,. and it was soon agreed that
be should remain quietly at St. Petersburgh, and trust solely to the ac-
counts supplied by his excellent friend, the general, on receiving, of
.nurse, a proper consideration for. his complacence. The bargain was
struck before thenge
inspector departed, and years rolled on without its
ever being infringed. At length a change of ministry caused a new
gerser4l to be sent to take the commend of the regiment of Persia. He
was very kindly received by his predecessor, and spent two or three
days very agreeably in feasting and the sports of the field. At last,
however, be became Impatient to ace his regiment, of which he bad
as yet found no tracts ; and the old genets!, when no longer able to
perry his inquiries, took him into his cabinet, " 1 will show it you,"
said he, "it you, will follow me. It Is here,"
" Here ! ImposeiLL: Wm could 1200 men and horses crowd into
this little toom ?"
" I have contrived to make them lie in small compass," replied the
general, laughing, as be unlocked a small drawer tilled with money.
" Here is your regiment."
The fact was, that he had sold the horses, and let the men purchase
their discharge, putting the sum allowed for their clothing and pay
into his own pocket ;
.and his successor, quite charmed with the plan,
sod with the share he received to insure his silence, did not heel-
-1.1 fellow so praiseworthy an example.
