resolved, if France, dismembered and forced to re-
turn to ancient regime, would not furnish forces too
' imposing for the Houses of Austria and Branden-
burg, both our nelghbouts, and both jealous of our
preponderance. '!he eta* of Europe last year was
such, that much might have been done to lower the
'frightful 'despotism of England. Now the taking of
Malta, with the conquest of Egypt, in rendering her
mistress of the treasures of that country, will cause,
in conjunction with the Porte, all the trade of the
Levant to pass under their yoke ; and, in repaying
herself with usury for former expenses, give herself

College of Foreign Affairs, because Prince Bez-:
borodko, discontented with the little, worthless
Abreskow, wished to place me in his situation.—
Chance so ordered, that I saw myself at the
head of Foreign Afieirs ; I would have given much
to have seen you or your brother in it. Your re.
fusel, and the prejudice of the Emperor towards Count
Alenander, induced me to take the part of not re-
fusing to accede to the wishes of my Master, persuad-
ed that I should possess more means than any other
of preventing injury, and can boldly say, that I have
rendered essential service to my country in three
times preventing Declarations of War against Prussia,
and twice against the House of Austria, and in ar-
ranging the affair of the Sovereignty of Georgia, which
may be considered as very important in regard to the
Turks, and, at the time, on account of the entire
dominion of the Caspian Sea in Asia, and the draw.',
ing of part of the Levant trade into our ports. I I
have also had frequent opportunities of gratifyiugity
own beak in sacrificing the self love of making myself
known as the author of good, I found my 1t Suffi-
ciently satisfied by its success, and I fesredgiviag
offence to a master who was zealous of doing good
by a spontaneous movement.
46 It was me who caused the subjecting of Live.
chi' Esthottia, Finland, and the Polish provinces,
to the general law of nil the remainder of the empire,
of furnishing recruits. I obtained permission to es-
tablish coramanderies for the Officers, who in war
distinguished themselves; of pensions for the widows
and orphans of Officers killed. I suppressed the
plan which the intriguing Pestel, previous to his dis.
mission, had caused to be adopted, under pretext of
augmenting the resources of the Post, of forbidding
all persons to take charge of letters, and giving the
Governors and Commandants of towns leave to search
all travellers and peasants. I obtained from the Em-
peror the establishment of a new State College for fo-
reign affairs, and the return of the excluded into the
service. I remitted 2,400,000 rubles into the Fe. t-
office treasury, the revenues of which I doubled, by
preventing fraud and robbery. I saved the Crown
nearly 30,000 rubles in the appointments of my per-
son, for I never had any ethers than those of a Mem-
ber of College, whilst I occupied the post of Chan-
cellor, was Director General of the Posts (10,000
rubles), and might hese occupied a house, &c. Women
had no credit with me. I loved mine too much; my '
stomach refused the allurements of good cheer; adu-
lation, baseness, and intrigue, could not reach me,
because I have studied men. I have remained such as
I was, I have pursued my innocent friendships, and
my heart and my honour went out untouched train I
that gulp!' in which all virtues are swallowed up. For)
two years I enjoyed continued credit, and I have done
injury to no one. Calumny has pursued without I
reaching me, it had sold me to the French, it said I
received plate from Bonaparte, forged letters to
ruin Count Paulo, &c. I leave it to time to do me
justice, and in the mean time I enjoy the greatest be-
nefit of Divine Justice, the lasting pure happiness in
a retreat which I have chosen myself. I reckon upon
remaining ten years in it, and afterwards of finish.

" I have said nothing to you, in this long letter,
,of the late Emperor—thirty benefits bestowed upon
me,during a reign of four years, close my mouth, and
ill my soul with eternal gratitude; besides, my eu-
logiums upon his good qualities might be suspected.
The only thing I can attest is, that this Sovereign,
with all the means of reigning gloriously, and making
`himself adored, never enjoyed a moment's happi-
nem, and died as unhappy as he had lived.
" This exposé will not displease a man whose
soul is so elevated as your's ; it will serve to make it
better known, and consolidate that esteem which you
have granted me. Every man has his failings; per-
lhaps I have judged wrong, but the intention was
pure; judge me according to actions, and pronounce.
." I need not tell you how impatient I shalt be to
see your..son. All that they write me from St.
Petersbnrgh, renders him the more interesting, and
mast render you the most happy of fathers. Here
is a worthy recompense of your virtue! Live a, tang
time, but, when dying, rejoice that you yourself
will survive in the sun youleave Russia."

The 13th and 15th New England regiments, and the

troops are also at this place. General Bloomfield is,
to command the van CM the expedition ; 500 drafted

Plattsburg. If Dearborn enters the territory, he
ought to have 30,000 men, as no doubt exists of the
Governor of Canada being able to bring this force
into the field against them.

The vanguard of SOULT'S army, under --nnec
was at Albacete at the date of our last intelligenceEr $
Our news of to-day, respecting Lord Wrcumcrorr
and his brave army, though all which can at present
bisobtained, is far from affording the satisfaction our
readers, and the public in general, have been so
anxious and impatient to receive. We do not bp.
Here that Ministers themselves could afford them
that satisfaction which we should he happy to tam.
municate. Till another battle has ben fought, but
little change can take plate in the relative views of
success on either side. That Gorernmant Igt
sedulous to withhold from the public the ph.c.t...z.
ings before Burgos, is plain to every ; ►tr cr,"
not wonder then that they are equall, rdwious tG
conceal the delicacy of our Commandves pcstil
situation.

Conoter4A, Oct 29.—Lord WELLINGTON,
ill
ng of the junction of SOULT and Sucusr, and that
I they intended to make an excursion to Madrid, for
I which purpose they had already arrived at Belmoote,
marched from the neighbourhood of Burgos to re.
inforce General HILL, and prevent any fortunate
result for the French.
Tentno, Ocr. 1%.-40ocr, with 13,000 infantry
and MOO horse, is approaching, and is already is
San Clement ; but notwithstanding this, we are per.
!featly easy, as our forces are superior. Mimeo's
bone are gone to join PENNZ and Moast,Lo, and thf
; PrfEnrco remains, ad interim, Governor of this place,
with all his infantry, which he is endeavouring to
augment.
MADRID, Oct 19.—The vanguard of Socres
army continues in Albacete, under the orders ct
I Demure ; It is composed of 15,000 men, and has
17000 horse in IA Genets.
The enemy seeing that the castle of Chinchilla
presented obstacles to their excursions, straightened
its siege, in order to take it by assault, without loss
on their part. They collected all the peasantry is
the neighbourhood, and made them march before;
they made three attacks, but In vain, because they
had neither mode a breach in the castle, nor filled
up the fosse; the peasants rierartheless suffered con,
Aiderably.
On the Bth, in 611 evades, a shell fell In the
castle, which wounded its salient Governor, and 10
Imes out of Its Tabu* sad email garrison of
this accident, and the having lost 4'll or 10 men by
the enemy's 'WIN, sAterior days, obliged it to iza,
pitulate on the 9th. Wheo the official account is
re rived, we shall. give the details tO the public;
which, according to an artilleryman; do greet ho.
sour to that noiosisaate garrison.

Infantry and 300 horse, presented themselves within
cannon shot of Penas de St. Pedro, and received
some tire, to which they did not reply, bat conti•
need their march towards Tabarra. In this point
there were, on the same day, 0 or 7000 men, which
are supposed to be put games apd part Socert's
'troops, who proceeded from Albacete to pro** the
pas Sage of the former.
It is thought that there lea corps of from iitq

We know that the public would be pleased by oar
giving intelligence at demimonde awl progress of
our armies; to their jot demands, we mast reply,
that the publisetlon of certain military tints would
not forward the military operations; the enemy
uflght derive great service from it. We bane read se-
veral Palencian °metier, and observe that the French
say nothing of the positions or movements of their
armies. Will it nut be time enough for us to inform
them of what they do not know, when they instruct
•us ? For this reason, we will content ourselves with
saying, that the fears of some pusillanimous persons
are unfounded and vain ; the hopes of the secret
agents of the intrusive King, who disseminate alarms,
deserving the most severe punishment,we have force
sufficient—we have Chiefs worthy of confidence—ire
are secure—this is what we can announce.

MADRID, OCT. 17.—The intrusive King, who ex.
pected to remain in Catalonia, and fix his residence
in the capital of Aragon, has changed his opinion,
and is preparing to proceed to Pampiuna. In this
city he can receive communication with
