RUSSIAN MILITARY.
Ills Majesty the Emperor u Russia has is
sued an Ukase respecting he conduct OF The
regiment Semanof His Majesty, in this u
kase says, that the Russian army has hitherto
been as much distinguished by lis fidelity and
discipline, as for lis vaIor that wlihou, ODE.
dience an army loses al its honor that the
troops know tsat they have every means to
make known their Just complaints, as there
are four annua! inspections, at which the law
commands every one 10 produce any grievance
of which hr thinks he has to complain. The
regiment Semenoff was formed by Peter the
Great, accompanied him in all his campaigns,
and has of late years likewise maintained its
glory especially at CUM The individuals
who have so msconducted themselves are no
longer worthy TO wear the uniform Of the reg
Iment; his Majesty is therefore under the
painful necessity OF dsbanding it. The sub
aterns ADD prvates will be distributed among
the regiments Of the line the most guilty will
be tried by court martial, and vigorously
punished the staff and superior officers, who
have not partaken Of the crime, and endeav-
ored, but ~ vain, TO restore order, proved that
they did not understand how to treat the SOL
diers aad to make themselves obeyed, they
are therefore TO be placed in the regiments of
the line; bu:, in consideration of their conduct
TO retain the privileges of officers of the guards.
Colonel Schwartz will be tried by a court
martial, because he did not understand, BY
his conduct, how 10 keep the regiment in
obedience. A court martial has been ordered
TO assemble at ST. Petersburgh.

The London Morning Chroni Gle, lately
received, contains the following highly com
/ pllmensry article sc The Americans are the
| first who ever conducted an honest and useful
trade with India, and the results are conspic-
uous enough. Their commerce with India is
at present greater than that of all Europe put
| toge Their, and with China 10 proportion to ours,
as 10 IS to 7, and to that ofihe rest of Europe,
something like what million is TO zero."
From Bells Weekly Messenger ofDec 4.
The foreign intelligence of the week is of
| more importance than hitherto. 1t would
seem as if the Austrsns had at length resoIv.
ed to march into the city of Naples, and to
compel the retoTmers to become obedent to
their king, and 10 re establish the most abomi-
nsble constitution in the civilized world
The Pope mot being able TO resist the Aus
tran arms) has given bis permission to the
Austrian armies TO march through his terrific
rles and there is now very general expec-
talon that the Austrlans will actually proceed
10 arrest the Neapoitan reformers Ii. e. The
great body OF the most intelligent Of the PEG
pie) IN The midst of their OVID capita, per
haps in their own chamber Of deb ates
We trust that general Instruction of all
Italy against this despotic measure, and most
unauthorized inierposition, will read 10 this
feeble Emperor lesson on the liberties of
mankind, and the law of nations. Jacobinical
revolutions being Instructions against every
thing religious, moral and useful, NAV be
fairly put down by the common strength of
Europe lit IS The night (and where there
are the means, II is the duty of neighbouriDg
nations. But there is neither right nor duty
to Interpose in the ordinary efforts of subjects
TO rid themselves of the abuses Of a bad gov.
eminent. or of weak and vicious admins
tration OF their laws.
