org, to ms friend an this city, dated in .;Eggst
last:
q arrived at st. Petersburgh in the month
ofOctobcr last with all my family. The Em
peror saved my life in taking me out of prison
IN August, 1915. The infinite ciemeney Of our
great and good king, (Louis,) destined me to
follow Ney and Labedoyere, but the cenerou,
anu magnaniinous Alexander saved me aud
the grandson of Louis the XVIII, was for
ced to Shew mercy, and have one victim the
less.
"presurning it will give you pleasure to
Know all L can gather on the actual state OF
Europe, iJud-e proper tn state to YOU, that the
French government has fallen into the utmost
contempt and derisiOn, which is openly and
publicly manifested here on all occasions-
The Ambassador, Count De Noailles, receives
continually such intlmations as sufficiently
prove nun these facts. If the Allies could
agree on the new sovereign to he given 10
France, our affairs would soon be terminated :;
but TIC difference OF opinion on this head ar
rests every thing.--Russia, Prussia and the
Low Countries, appear III favour OF putting the
Prince OF Orange on the throne; but Austria
and England persists in holding up to view Ma
poieon "a. what is certain is, that OH the death
OF the k.ug, tins question will he decided,
less before that desired event Il diferenc
should arise between the allies, and bring
light their projects, rendered necessary and in
dispensable by the Sdnguindry anarchy which TN
Bourbons have established in our unhappy
conatry.
Germany and England have reduced their
military establishments, but Russia has mil
lion OF men under arms.-Au the regiment.
arc complete and perfectly organized at this
moment: l6 new regiments of lancers and the
imperial guard, waich l see exercising every
day, are magnificent. The latter counts fifty
thousand men in its ranks, all old soldiers, per
fectly we'll disciplined. You see, my dear
friend, that the moderation OF the Empcror
Alexander is the only bound OF his power, and
dare tohope from him relief from he mise
rieS which hang over and weigh upon our allie
ted country. His soul is tyo great aud too ee-
nerous not 10 fix a term 10 the sutierings of
nation like ours oppressed by stupid fanati-
cism. and by family whose system of govern
ment is composed of weakness, vengeance, and
barbarOuS :trocitics"
