NEAR yonder cot upon the moor,
Whose grey smoke winds y. many acurl,
Knitting beside the cottage door,
Imet this morn lovely girl.
With many a modish damsel oft,
I've squande! a fooEshly my time,
Plav'd with their hands and cheeks so soft,
Or hitch'd them into many rhyme
But when turn'd to go away,
NV bosom felt no tickling pain,
And scarcely did hear them say,
I'd thank you, sir, to call again.
But when | saw this lass SO fair,
Her floating eye so blue and round,
It's lustrc l could no more bear,
But bashful look'd upon the ground.
Ny Jealous pride then took alarm,
Face her, it whispered DER and DER,
Look up, she cannot do thee harm,
Did'st thou ne'cr see girl before
Rous'd from the dream, raiS'd my hat
And thought some civil thing to say
look'd, my heart went pit pat,
And glad was to get away.
Yet though hurried from her sight,
Roam wheresoe'er my footsteps will,
That full blue eye, that face 50 bright,
Will HAUNT NE, LIKE 4 scEPTRE,

RUSSIA.

CRu1Ea has for many ages attracted
the attention of the geographer,
the politician, and the political
economit and never was this
mighty empire more deierving Of
our contemplation than atthe pre-
tent period. The following def
cripiion of the Rufian character
will be perufed with a double in
terelt /; becaufe the defcri5er is DIR.

ION. ] Pert FoE9.
The people who inhabit the wild
regions Of Rullia, are for the mos
part of Sclavonic blood, and of Aft
attic origin their progenitars were
known 6y the name Of Sarmatians.
Long difuuited among themlelves.
and in tate of barbarifm, they were
reduced in the thirteenth century 20
vJGalage under the Tartars. From
this condition they w"re refcued in
the fifteenth century by their Gar,
joar Baflowitz, who with his grand
len, Of the fame name, (men Of Wig
or and talents, though rude and fefo-
cious( extended their RuGian domin.
ion, and made the nation known
throughout Europe. Succeeding
Sovereigns, among whom Peter /.
and Catharlnc ii. were pre-cminent,
Tot only enlarged their territories, bur
promoted civilization and improve
ment of every kind and AT length
RATED the RuiIian empire 20 the Dig
nifty of hrit rate European power.
The Ruhian national character ap-
pears 70 Be marked with iedateners
and Tranquility, mixed with III einel.
and iociability. They are hofpitable
and good tempered among one anoth-
e., capable Of frong attachments, "a
gacious and patient of hardfhips.
The fervitude in which the lower
clailts live, and the dclpotic rule ex-
erciied over the highet, have made
them tupPle, cunning and crouching.
Manly elevation of foul with teadv
principle, are rarely met with among
them. The ancient nobility have
valt eitates, which they reckon BY
the number Of vafals with which
they are ttocked and they live in a
kind Of rude magniicence, hunning
1he court and pubic cmPloyments.
The Rufian pealautrv are remark
able for their readineis IN ACQUIRING
the common arts Of life, frveral OF
which they exercife for donetic pur
Poies. In the higher departments Of
intellect, nothing naferly or original
has YET appeared among them, which
may perhaps be owing 20 their recent
civilization. Their impiici, obedi-
encc, joined with natural ro5ufuefs
Of contribution and habit Of cndur-

Of the diltinGtion. During their ad-
miniltrarion all the branches of the
Government were federal--did they
introduce Monarchy? Did they at
tempt it? AT the adoption of the
Contribution there was faction COM
po(ed Of the difcontented and of
thofe who were averfe TO the Con-
ititution. Men Of fallen expectation,
and disappointed ambition-they pre-
tended to be the friends of the peo-
pie, and ftyled thcanieIyes Republi-

tumult and eager for noyclry-by
the mott foul means they RATED a

indeed their own cau1e--they gained
the alceRdancy, and what have they
gained ? The leaders have gained
places of honour and proht--the
people have gained nothing, but lot

Empire it delighted Roman 10 tell
what Rome had been--and years
hence when the Democratic pigmies
who now huter on the ttage, and in

Warrington and Adams. Wafhing-
