ANECDOTES OF THE EMPEROR pAD1

ANECDOTES OF THE EMPEROR PAUL.
An officer walking the Rreets, in large be.
life, had given his fervant his lword, which in.
commoded him, intending TO put it on again,
and to get off his peliae when he got near the
palace. Unfortunately before this took place.
the Emperor met him, and in conlequence, he
was reduced to the ranks, and his fervant made
an officer 10 his place.
Exercifng his regiment Of cuiraGeurs one
day, the horie of an officer threw him. Paul
ran furiou1y towards him, crying "Cet up,
ralcal !"--' Your Highnefs, cannot, I have
broken my leg" Paul lpa! upon him, and re
tired fwearin8.
Il IS the order Of Paul, that whoever IS per-
mitted 20 kits his hand is to make the Aoor
rebound, by Rriking it with his knee as loud as
a folder with the bat end of his frelock. It
is requiGte too that the falute of the lips on his
hand lhould be heard, TO certify the reality Of
the kils, as well as Of the genu- Rexion.
The real cadfe Of the difgrace Of Suwarrow
has never, we believe, been properly underItood.
The Emperor Paul, very foon after bis acceiIion
to the Ruaian throne, ordered the drefs of The
Ruaiau folders TO be changed to the German
fafhion. SuYarrow, when he received orders
TO et4blih thole novelties, with little Ricks for
models for the folders tails and Gde curIs, laid,
= hair powder is not gunpowder, curls are not
cannon, and tails are not bayonets." This
farcalIn, which is not detitute of wit, and forms
in the Rufiian language a fort of apothegm in
rhine, ioon fpread from mouth TO mouth tbro'
the army, and was the true reafon that indutsd
Paul to REGAL Suwarrow, and dlfmiis aim from
his fervice.
Paul in chewing one Of his regiments, one
day. committed fome blundar in the orders
which he gave. Thinking that it ought to be
punihed, he orderdered drum 10 be placed
endways on the ground. He then inpoftd
upon himlelf the punithment Of fitting upon il
for half an hour without opening bis lips,
while the troops all the while marched rochd
and round him. This ludicrous ientence upon
himlelf was executed to the utmoa.
