Every hour teems with events interesting to us,
and of .taxiety to our enemy. Should he be able to
rise out of his present apparently overwhelming diffi-
culties, he will, i'tdeed, nave credi, for extraordi-
nary powers of mind, as well as of body. One of
our cotemporaries, however, , nth whoa opinion our
own is not often in unison, affirm that the elements
of his power ate cr ;Wiling to dust and that nothing
remains firm in his grasp. It is added, that doubt
and uncertainty arrest his course. With this latter
assertion' we are more inclined to agree, since we are
persuaded, that he would have been considerably ad-
vanced on his proposed journey, ,but for the doubt
be has of every thing remaining quiet at home in his
absence. lie is unquestionably uncertain ohat
course to resolve on, being tortured with actual
defection among his allies abroad, and alarmed
by menacing insurrections at home. No•with-
standing all this, we cannot consent to promise
our Readers, that " the elements of 800 4ev itrfs
power are crumbling to dust, and that nothing re.
mainst Frm in his grasp." On the contrary, we af-
firm, that these very eifficulties and dangers are the
real elements of his power. The &aims of the
republic called him first iwo totice ; his vigorous and
unexampled conduct in the variety of dangers and
difficulties he has passed throug.i, have only served
to raise his fame, and that fame, or in ether words
public opinion and confidence lo his tried skill mid
Intrepidity, have served to make him grasp with
more confidence, the force e bleb such opinion gives
any matt. We fear he will have this same thing
(Which, though not seen by the people in general of
this country, is easily understood by the reflecting
part of it) ; we repeat it, that we fear he will have
this to grasp as long as he lives. His views are
strait forward and palpable. lie has promised
France eternal glory from 'military achievements.
lie has flattered the people of that country with
what his predecessors on the throne have for
centuries in vain endeavoured to obtain, viz.—
an elevation of fortune from the dowafal of Eng-
land ; and although he knows that a vain and fickle
people are not easily raised to considerations of a
correspoadent nature with those which have filled
his breast ; yet be counts of bringlig them to by de-
sees, and reconciling them to the prodigious sacri-
fices they have been obliged to make, to invest him
Nth another grand army. Sacrifices claimed often,
if done with art, cease to be regarded as such. Men
of far inferior talents to those of the man we are
srakiug of, can exact sacrifice upon sacrifice,
almost without a murmur now a-days; time
changes, and we change with it. It was once
said, that If the Ministir of that day, laid alai of a
halfpeuny upon a pot-nk porter, the effect would
be general insurrection, if_ not rebellion I Our

Posw, FEB. 20,—The follon in; is the Proclama-
tion issued by his Majesty the Emperor of Russia,
by which a full amnesty is assured to the inhabitants
of the late Polish, now Russian provinces:—

4‘ We, Alexander the First, by the Grace of
God, Emperor and Autocrat of all Russia, die. 4.c.
ac. make known to every one, That whereas, to
the course of the present oar with the French, the
main part of the inhabitants of the former Polish,
but now Russian provinces and circles, have re-
mained loyal to us, and for such cause have an equal I
claim on our favour and gratitude tewards them,
with all our other faithful subjects; but there being
others who hate, by numerous ways, drawn upon
them our just anger. Some of these on the enemy's
entering the borders of our Empire, either
through dread of force and clolence, or because
they expected to save their property from destruction
end rapine, accepted the offices and employments
forced on them by the enemy; others, whose num.
bees are less, but whose crimes are much greater,
as having taken the part of the foreign invaders, eteu
before his irruption into their country, and took up
arms with hilts against us; and preferred being his
shameful abettors rather than remaining our faithful
subjects. These last should feel the sword of jes.
tice ; but as we have already seen the wrath of God
peered out on them, which has beaten them to the
earth, as well as those who have implicitly sumo.
dared, and as we are inclined to hear the voice •of
pity and compassion which holds sway in our breasts,
*e make known oar general and free pardons eon.
signing every thing past to eternal silence and
vion ; and likewisee forbid, iu future, all and every
denunciation, in the perfect confidence that those who
have been unfaithful to us, will feel the clemency of
such procedure and return back to their habitations
within the space of two months from this day ; but if
any one of them should remain in our enemy's service
after that period, without profiting by oar clemency,
and continue in the commisioil of the same crimes
after this pardon, iLssia ,rill consklersthem as eon-
armed rebels, and nct receive them again into her
',owns, tit the whole of their estates shall be con-
..ted ; and although that the prisoners of war who
ere taken with arms in their hands shall sat he et.
eaded from this general pardon, yet we tenant,
without infringement of justice, follow Ike Impulse
of our hearts, until their captivity shall be ended by
the conclusion of the present war. But area those
shall likewise, in dee time, arrive at the enjoyment
of the advantages granted by this our passim, which
we eatend to ell and every one. Therefore may
every intilvlderd partake in the genmel joy en
the breaking el the pewee and total destruc-
tion of the emery of all natieee; ead with

ever, begin to be pretty good jqdges of *hat is
feasible, and of what is improbable and impossible.
Of one thing we may be sure, that • Ministers like
ours, acting upon so erroneous a system as they
have long- done, are very unlikely to persuade
these powers to a vigerous co-operation with them,
since they are not able to tell theui on what terms
a Peaco, sodesirable tb every one State on the Conti-
nent, can be offered or agreed to. A new and ex:
trenie great difficulty has arisen among those Cabi-
vets, by our countenancing the Proclamation of Lours
XVIII! since it gives them reason to apprehend, that
if every other subject of war were exhausted, that
claim would begin it anew; and as they, and every
rational creature must supposes would create ready
conscription's and voluntary enrolments to prevent
another and newer order of things and property in
France—an order which would entail mischiefs on
the peaceable classes of the French, as terrible as an
anarchy or fresh Revolution. The Powers which
Inow. aitt were, lye by for a declaration, are consi...
dering which side can soonest enforce or cemmind a.
Igeneral Peace.; and for that side will they give their
'nib ag,t and their aid.

The Amerieau news is of considerable import, and
we ohatir►e with peculiar satisfaction, the expedi-
tion with which the Bill for excluding British seamen
for Wog employed on board American vessels,
public and private, has passed the Legi Slat tins. This
measure is the more pleasingly ominous to the well
wishes for the restoration of peace, as it is the con-
sequence of an examination by a Committee formed
on purpose, to enquire into the clauses of the mis-
understanding between the two nations. The Bill is
too long and desultory for publication, but the sth
clause will sufficiently demonstrate its tendency, and
6 as follows :

,411 • qr. •

" And be it further' enacted, that if any Com-
mander of a public vessel of the United States shall
employ, or permit to be employed, or shal) admit,
or receive,. or permit to be admitted or received on
board Ms vessel, any person whose employment or
admission is.prOhibited by the. previsions of. this Acr,
he shall, ou conviction thereof, forfeit and pay' the
sum of •1000 dollars for each. person thus nnlawfully
employed or admitted ow board such vessel. .
