The splendid rewards too which a.
waited the officers, from the spells of
Russia yet untouched, the booty which
Moscow, and SO many other rich cities
was to afford to the soldiers, the honors
and distinctions to which this last and
final victory would entitle all classes,
added the utmost degree of excitement,
to the ardour inspired by SO many ether
concurring causes; while the hope ct
repose, which the final conquest Of the
world should he achieved, on the plains
of the Dwina, the Weser and the VOL
ga, stimulated to present exertion those
who might have grown weary and lam
guild, through former and long continued
laboIs.
Such was the army, thus prosperous,
and thus Astounding with all the physical
and moral element. OF force, which aid

making others believe, that hsr triumph

rigor of her climate, A rapid glance
over the events OF the campaign will
suffice to shew, thot she is indebted IN

regular and permanent means Of de-
fence for this glorious victory, to the vi
gor aud consistency of her government,
the superior abilities of her comman-
ders, the valor OF her armies, aud the
patriotism Of her people.
The preparations for invasion had ex-
tended along the Russian frontier, from
Grodno to Memel, distance OF nearly
two buud,ed miles. 1t was uncertain on
what point of this long line the attack
would be made The Russians were
therefore compelled to stretch their ar
mics along It's whole extent; without
which it would have been impossible 10
prevent their being turned, attacked in
flank, AID cut off from their supplies &

DIVINE VENGEANCE.

Divine Vengeance is term toe ol'en
pros,i,utrd by shsrt-sighted mortals 10
the base purposes of party malice and
private revenge.
A striking instance of the Perverse
misapplication of these words by king
lanes the second. when Duke OF YORK;
and ..s the roproof he received, IS weFth
repeating, for the purposeof ineuicating
mildoess and moderation In poltlca'
controversy.
The odious and absurd character,
whose words | record, soon alter the
restoration, visited the author OF Ford'
disc Lss., in company with his brother,
King Charles the second; they wished
to ace and were anxious to reproach the
hoaryre publican, who in the violence e.
inordinate zeal, and exasperated by the
fury of civil war, had treated their ta-
theirs memcry with acrimonius and un-
unsuitable virulcnce.
Milton was now become helpless,
blind, and old; circumstances which
would have sottened the resentmems OF
a generous mind; but the vindlcuve
brothers chose 20 attack the enemy OF
their father, by initiating the poet In the
most faulty part Of his character.
They ipsplted him in various ways
and concluded long strain OF coarse a.
buse, with the following words: II OH
are suffering the just reward OF your
crimes, you old ruffian divine Ven
geance has at lengtl, oyertaken you and
put out both yeur eyes

and undismayed. cannot soy whether
