" I seize the first Moment's tranquillity, from the'
scene of desolation, of. which I haveat the same time
been the witness and victim, to write to you.
44 Established for 20 years in Russia, I had like all
foreigners, who are neither mesiciansv mi,dancers
nor men milliners, nor teachers of laaguakes, suffered
all the effects of the jealous, overbearing, interested
character of the Russian merchants.. But althea/lc
frequeutly robbed by fraudulent debtors, despoiled,
by speculators, over-reached by attornies, I had suc-'
ceesled in forming esolid house, and amassing a.de7;

whom do luxuries justly appertain, but to those who
are able to purchase them? What human concern is
