THE POLICY OF RUSSIA.

translated rom The Revue Ency ciop2digue,
for the New York Daily Advertiser.
1haf which merits the eepest attention in
the policy of the Russian Government is ex-
h'Ducd IN the art of asssImiiatlng CONQUERED
nations with the empire. Since the times Of
Rome whose laws seem To have been plan
ned for The conquest of the world, DO country
has been constituted, like Russia, for The ex
tension and the preservation of its acquisitions
Russia, like Rome, having perceived il Deces-
ssry TO form her empire OF crowd of nations
differing IN religion, manners and language, has
established a rule allowing TO each all those.
things which are held dearer than political ex l..
fsteDce. Thus all religions are equally toirra-
led may, more, they are equally protected.
Their exercise is public and peaceaDie, even in
those parts nf the empire inhabited toy po
pie OF different faiths. Each religion has lis
own temples, affairs and ministers. In Pc
tersbuFg, for example, ale erected places of
worship for Greeks, jews, Roman Catholics.
and Proiestanis 10 all their varieties OF I,ul,e-
rams, CaIrIDists, &c. iu the southern lrovin-
crs, islamism Is freely proiessed by those wuo
0beyed tie laws OF MabOmyt before they were
reduced To the Russian government. In thu
East there are still idUlaters and the govern

knowing that, In the course Of time by the pro-
gress otinprovemenf, men will rise Of them
selves TO purer belief 10 system better

1t is to be observed, that all the gentlemen
who accompanied the Marquis were men of
rank and fortune, who did not come to A.
merica as adventures, but solely to serve the
cause of liberty. Among them were Wis
count de Mongoy, Baron de Kalb, Chevaliers
De Franval, De Fayotte, De Vrigni, and
cousin of the Marquis. The object of stop
ping at Passage, was to consult the Count
of Broglie, who advised the Marquis to depart
as soon as possible. The Marquis father in
law, the Duke of Noaille, one of the most
powerful noblemen in France, and who had
perhaps more influence at court than any o.
thcr man, severely reprimanded the Court of
Broglic for having favoured "he Boys es-
cahc"- To which it is said the Count replied
-" assure your Grace that I only 7viSh I
had one hundred such boys"
We could add otherinteresting particulars
respecting the honorable part which Mr.. De
i3. M. sustained in relation to the first visit
of General LA FAYETTE to America-but
we are restrained from SO doing by the fear
of offending the refined delicacy and retired
habits of a gentleman who has never been
desirous of attracting public attention towards
himself. 1t may be proper, however, to add,
that he has been selected as a member of the
dcputation which will proceed to Frenchtown

General amongus. Baltimore american.

SEA SERPENT.

The following account of this animal is
taken from statement, furnished us by
Mr.. Philip I.efavour, the skipper ola YES
sci belonging to Marblehcad. 1t is the most
particular account, we have yet seen, and as
its authenticity is beyond dispute, it must
satisfy the most incredulous, OH this subject,
that there is monster in the sea resembling
4 serpent.
"Whilc on their late voyage, and about
six leagues from Marblchcad, they fell in
with him and he was so near that the skip
per, when standing at the helm, was obliged
to incline his body, to look over upon him.
He continued near the boat long enough
to be harpooned an hundred times. The
skipper and crew were satisfied, that his
back is perfectly smooth, and that the pro-
tubcranccs heretofore attached to it, are
owing to his undulating motion. His head
is as large as half barrel. His tail is blunt
as though it were cut square off, and of whit
isl coloar, gradually becoming darker till
it exhibits the blackness of black snake.
He shifted his posture several times, some
times laying at full length when he appeared
over sixty feet, at other times assuming a
spiral forn, resembling the worm of a still.
lie changed his posture very easily. His
whole appearance was terrific, though he
seemed harmless
The correctness of this statement may be
depended on, for the skipper and crew are
men well known in Marblehcad, and their
veracity has never been impeachcd.

visited his extensive farm there, describe it
as one of the most highly cultivated seats in

La Grange, e,"-(Thc Farm.) 1t is situated
In the fertile district OF La Brie (about Is
leagues from Paris.) A late traveller de-
scrlbes it to be" 50 remote from any high
road, so lonely and so wood embossed, that
spot more sequestered, can scarcely be inn
agined.-In the midst of this fertile and lux
ar'ant wilderness, rising above prolific Or
Charts and antiquated woods, appear the
une towers of IA Grange Blessnau, tinged
with the golden rays of the sun. Here the
renowned LA FAYETTE has passed Il
large portion of his eventful life. His library
contains many of the most eminent authors
on all subjects; and here he dcvotes himself
10 the cultivation of the Earth, the Arts and

GA correspondent is desirous of ascer-
tanning, for apublic purpose, the name Of the

came to this country, in the year 1777."
We have it in our power to answer satis-
factorily the enquiry Of the correspondent of
the National Gazette. Our Information is
derived from conversations with one of the
earliest and most intimate companions of
General La Faycttc, with whom we have
the pleasure of IA personal acquaintance. The
gentleman to whom we alMde, Nous. i. 4.
DE BoIs MARTIN, has been an inhabitant of
Baltimore for the last twenty-five years, and
on the 22d Of the present month will have ar
rived at the adyantc cd age of eighty two
wears. In taking upon ourselves to answer
the enquiry which has been made, VIC have
been induced to accompany the reply with
the mention of some circumstances connect
ed with it, the knowledge of which, We be-
licve, will not prove unintcresting to the
correspondent" as they certainly viii not
to our readers at homc
Mr. De Bois Martin, native OF Santouge
in France. was commissioned as an officer of
infantry BY Louis XIV. In l770 he joined
his regiment as captain, then stationed at
Port au-frincc, III the Island of st. Domn-
go, and in 1776 returned to France on the
business Of his regiment. Having discharg
ed this duty, and being in Paris, he met with
an elder brother who was intimate with the
Marquis dc la Faycttc, and who advised him
to accompany the latter to America. An a
grecment was soon after entered into with
Mr.. Sias Dean, then American agent at Pa
ris, (but not recognized BY the French gov
ernment) that the Marquis dc Ia Fayette
should serve as Major General, and all the
| Marquis one rank higher than the one they
held i'll the French army. The French gov
ernmcnt had been for q long time promising
vessel to Mr.. Dean to convey these officers,
but always put him of under some prctence
/ or other At length the Marquis determin-
i ed to fit out a vessel at his own expense, and
embark for America. He employed MIR.
| Du Bois Martin for that purpose, who went
TO Bordeaux and purchased ship called
"LA BONNIE MERE" of about 400 tons, and
fitted her out for the intended voyage. This
ship was commanded by captain LA Boursier.
| The Marquis and twelve or fifteen officers,
including Mr.. De Bois Martin embarked at
Bordeaux in the month of April, IVY, and
after having resisted the bargcs sent by the
Governor Of Bordeaux to stop them, they
first went to Passage, in Spain, and subse-
quently arrived off the coast of South Caro-
lima in the carly part of June, IVY. Here
the ship was dismasted, and was forced to
anchor; the Marquis, with some officers,
including Baron dc kalb, went on shore,
leaving the ship to her fate. She however,
afterwards arrived safe at Charleston. The
American government did not confirm the
agreement made with Mr.. Dean in Paris
the services of most Of the offices were not
accepted, and they returned to France. Mr.
De Bois Martin embarked at Newburyport
