ST, it app. ars, has not b=en lhat faithful al
j. Of the French .:aperor, which she was
represented to be by his dcnocralic friends.
She suffered his imperial majesty - tamper
and negotiate lhree whole months w''h
Austria, wan she might have settled the
matter to hIs liking in a week, if she had
been 50 disposed; but as by previous n.
rangrmenr with Austria, the Russians
marched into Poland to be near at hand and
prrrs9n his majesty from dong as he pleas
ok, and drained in. the negotiation, what

The emperor expected, no doubt, that
II hc could procure al embassy TO be ss1t
TO Russia, from his democratic trieads,
who, Ike her, were c,uch attached to TIC
Liberty Of The Seas, it would add much
weight to the representations Of his own
ambassador at that court. Mr.. Short did
not get his commission and Mr.. Adams
was tot sent in time to shew the Russians
how much he fali of Austria would con-
tribute to the Liberty o.. the Sea, but the
triumph expressed in France at the news
OF his passing the sound and approaching
ARRIVAL AZ St. Petersburg, evidently pro'cs,
that mech is yet expected from the kind
compliance of the emperor's democratic
friends, in sending an embassy there. The
dismissal of Mr.. Jackson, which was
known in Paris exactly {aar days after it
took place at Washington, as it appears by
the same article of news, did not give more
qualification in France than the appoint
mrn, Of the American embassy to Russia.
