years.-Lieut kotzebue, who commanded
the Rurick fell in with an Iceberg on his
voyage Of great magnitude, portion OF the
surface beng covered with earth and mould,

Its water liue was covered with shore torm-

had washed down from the higher parts Of the

was to have been united by the ties OF an
honorable matrimony, was dragged from
the sacred retirement of her family and
friends, and shot in the public square Of

despots, only because her correspondence
with the Patriots, who were threatening
to attack said capital, had been intercep.

10 hasten their advancement. and thereby
