LONDON, April 4.
The following has been sent TO us as
an extract of Il letter from Count Ras-
topchin, to one of his friends at London {:
81 was much surprised at seeing in Be-
naparte's appeal 10 the British nation,
that he had incurred danger in wishing
To save Moscow from the contlagration in
1912. His amazing efforts and greatness
of mind were, however, limited 10 mount
ing his horse as soon as the fire appeared,
and gallopping to the distance oftwo En-
glish miles from the town in orde. TO
place himself in safety. He passed three
days and three nights in a palace i'll the
midst of a corps OF troops, who bivOuac-
ed, and only returned to Moscow on the
fourth day, when the conflagration had
ceased, after having consumed ,632 hou-
SEES. | was well informed of all that was
passing in the town, by means of six Off
GERS disguised, who remained undiscover-
cd during the whole of Bonapartes stay
AT Moscow; but, on his quitting it, he set
fire to the palace OF Krcmlin, among o.
Tiers, and to the castle of Petrousky,
which had served him as an asylum dur
ing the great conflagration. Perhaps this
was done by him as an act of kindness,
with the intention of purifying them by
fire from the evils he had been the source
OF. From the tone of this appeal il would
seem, that he dictated it at the moment
when his mind was guided by the same
feelings as during his passage to the ISL
and of st. Helena in 1915; and he appears
unwilling to forget the style of his bulle-
Tins, which serves as proof that habit is
second nature"
We understand that Government have
appointed person of the name of NJ
Gillivray, of the house Of F. Inglas, Ellis

opinion that the excuse given bv Lord
Selkirk was not sufficient to justify the
step his Lordship had taken.
