OCT 24.---The Russian pcasan,ry in the
province OF Moscow are beginning, even a.
midst stencs of carnage and de.olation TO en-
JOY temporary glimpse of human sympathy |;
a Ar of mo f,anh hr, al
fod themselves treated by their enemies like
human beings--,hc hereditary chains of their
batbarpus slavery are, for awhile, To be unriv-
cited, and they will be permitted TO taste, tho
in qualified degree, some OF the sweets Of
natural liberty. Nothing but ali invasion OF
their terrilory could effect any alteration in
the political constitution of the Russian EN-
pirc. The authority Of Alexander is suppor-

and had he been able TO protect his arbitrary
system, by pacific policy with other nations,
he would have had ncihing to spprchend

tion of bis Government prec!udes almost the
possibility OF such IN event, which, indeed,

lowcrorders are like cattle, transferred from

plec,lon Of slavery, and remain content with
hereditary oppression ; the Sovereign's plea
sure Is their law, and his councils are direct
cd tythc same authority. That law being
established By precedent, pcrpetuates their
slavery without afording them any prospect
Of change redress and when ore Tyrani

cr, who rules them with the same dcspotc
power Under the dynasty Of the Cars, no
cn.ie htencd rule Of thinking has been allow

the government, (; cyety effort Of genius and
Improvement, being subsersient 10 the capri
cious will o! the Autocrat. In such state
of habitual subordiualion, the subjects never
attempt 10 indulge in desires which govern
rlent does not think proper for them TO graf

,uucd in the same torpid state of animal sla.
yery and their Chains have remained rivi,ied
for sgcs, had not the pride, weakness and
folly Of Alexander, brought into his terrific

appears to be destined instrument in the
