The formidable attitude Of Russia.

j
In sketch OF the military and political
power of Russia, in the year 1917, ascribed
10 the pen of Sir Robert Wilson, the writer
states, that since Alexander came 6rst to
the throne, the population Of Russia has
risen, by increase and acquisition, from
fhirsy-sir 50 Jorss-svo millions Of people ;
that her territory has been extended on al
most every side that her frontier is distan,
oily abou, two hundred and fifty miles from
Constsntinople by water, and three hundred
by land, 10 direct line that Persia is at
her feet; tba: Russian army might sail

miles Of the Persian Gulf, from whence the
voyage to the British settlements in the
East Indies, namely, to Bombay, is only
from twehty four 10 thirty days, in both
monsoons andto Madras but eight or ten
days longer in the S. w. monsoon that,
from. Kamschatka they have extended to
ihe northwest coast of America where they
have made several establishments, and that
since Il. year 1919, the Russians have de-
scended the American coast, passed the
Columbis river five hundred miles and set
tied in Padoga, only thirty miles from the
Spanish establishments in California.
The writer of this sketch proceeds to
state that In the year 1899 Russia had a dis
poseable army of only fitty thousand men
in the year 1907 mot more than eighty thou
sand and in the year 1918, only three hun

The arrival OF our commissioners at Buenos
Ayres, has excited general sensation OF de-
light and the gazettes Of that city are hlled
with congratulations on the occasion. The
prospec, Of an amicable intercourse, both
commercial and political, between the Uni
ted States and the patriots of the south, in
spires them with new confidence and exulta-
ton; and while the public voice ]. clamor-
Gus in baihng this first essay OF our govern
ment, individuals obey and assist the popular
impulse.
On the e6th Of March, Mr. Lynch and hi.
partner, Mr.. John Zmm ernan, merchants oi
wealth and respectability at Buenos Ayres
gave a splendid ball in honour of the Ameri-
can commissioners. They were received in
grand court, brilliantly Illuminated with
dazzling lu,tres, and covered with. a canopy
from wich the flags of the United States and ol
Independent Spain proudly waved above cir.
cleof two hundred ladies, distinguished alike for
their opulence, their elegance Of dress, and
their beauty of person.

ed the dance and toasts of compliment to the
American guests and to the ladies, suggested
by the enthusiasm of the moment, betrayed
the elevated sentiments which animated the
assembly while Washington .NaYeh, play
ed with loud applause, gave new zast 10 their
coneivialrty--and song and dance and mirth.
"The feast Of reason and the How Of soul, y

ing beam dissolved the enehantment.
In the same gazette from which this gay
description is taken, we find frequent and fat.
tering mention Of our commissioners. AL
though nothing pos'tiux bad transpred from
their mission, their continuance in the prov
ince, and their constant interviews with the
public functionaries, were regarded as an.
nouncing the morning Of a glorious day, which
| by confirming the freedom Of the Spanish A.
me ricans, would realize all the anticipated re-
wards for their struggle to purchase it.
We learn also from a paper Of later date,
that our commissioners, finding a soldier OF
the eve OF execution for the crime ofinsubor-
dination to bis officers, demanded suspen
sion Of bis punishment, and, accompanied by
Mr.. Miller, ah American merchant, on The
part Of the eulprit's family, waited in person
upon the supreme director TO solicit pardon
which was Immediately awarded.

The Indian nations or tribes, now resi-
ding within the bounds Of this State, pres
ent' at this moment, spectacle alike inter-
esting TO the Christian, the Philosopher,
the Philanthropist, and the Statesman.
Renouncing the worship of dogs we
have heard some of those tribes confess the
name OF JESUS they have exchanged
tho nams OF Pagan for that of Christian.
Others have repeated in their own inim-
liable styia the story OF their griefs; and il
we mistake not their language, they are
desirous OF deliverance from the thral-
dom OF vice, and the depredaiions of fiend
like men which It should be the pleasure,
as it is the duty, of every good man, as far
as is in his power, to afford.
| A few weeks ago an event occurred
which may justly be considered as form
ing new era in the history ofthese aborig-
ines. The Oneida Indians have formed
amongst themselves an AGRICULTURE
AL SOCIETY; and have received a set
OF the transactions Of the Society tor the
Promotion of Useful Arts agreeably to the
resolution OF this society, awarding to each
Agricultural Society which may be formed
in the State a copy of their transactions.
II has been remarked, with respect TO
savage nations in general, that, unaccom.
panied with agricultural pursuits, the la
bour ofthe missionary is in vain. The
Indians. of North America have afforded
several striking exemplifca:ions Of the
truth ofthis remark.
But, under the consciousness of their
own deterioration, il cannot be wondered az.
if yet there are several clans, who, moved
with envy at the rapid increase of white
men in the land of which they were Sole
proprietors, may commit unwarrantsble
outrages upon them. But let Us pause and
reject. The mos, just, the most mercifui,
and at the same time the most effectual an
tidote to this evil would be desideratum
OF no small moment. We speak ofjEstice,
and Of this there is no better standard, old
fashioned as it is, and we will venture to
add, none more truly polite, than TO do as
We, in like circumstances, would desire 10
be done TO. Do you complain ofthe fero-
city of savage Indians! convert your
swords into ploughshares, and with those
su5due them. II.
