MISCELLANY.
HOLMAN;
The Blind Traveller.

Ever since the reign of Peter the
Great, the sovereigns of Russia have
shown laudible anxiety and zeal to
become acquainted with the various
provinces of their vast empire; and &C
eordingly, many different scientific ex-
petitions have been sent forth, both by
sea and land, for the purpose ofexplor-
ing distant regions, and of acquiring a
general knowledge of their geography,
soil, climate, natural history, and anti
Duties, as well as Of their inhabitants,
languages, customs, manners, religion,
arts and trades; science, in the greater
part of them, being out of the question.
Those acquainted with Russia will re.
cal to mind the voyages and travels Of
Messerschmidt, Behring, Spanberg,
Tchirikof, Memelin, Muller, and Kras-
henenikef, in the reigns Of Catherine l..
and Ann; and their important results
the acquisition of much novel informa-
ton, especially with respect to Siberia.
In the reign of Catherine 7. a new era
of discovery dawned on Russia. The
German naturalists, Pallas, Gmelina.
and Guldenstadt, and the Russian natu-
ralist, Lepechin, are well known by
their various works; as the individuals

speeding the probability of finding him
at home, from a peasant-like man
whom he met on approaching the house.
This person Immediately conducted
him to the house, which, to the sur
prize of the gentleman he entered sans
ceremonic, and Immediately proceeding
to an inner apartment threw off his
peasants dress and stood forth the
master Of the police himself; after
which he exhibited a great variety of
dresses of the different characters he
was in the habit of assuming.
Gin these various garbs the police
frequent all public places.
"The police regulations for preserv-
ing the public peace, and keeping Or
der m the street, are very strict, and
some of them not little peculiar: for
instance, both the selt-pleasing art of
,chistling, as we'll as to indulge in
smoking, are interdicted. A friend Of
mine one day received check as he
was amusing himself in the former
way during his walk. How annoying
such regulations must be to bakers
boys and Germans-the former might
in consequence, be compelled to think,
the latter prevented from doing so.
"The following occurrence, witness
ed one day in the street by a friend of
mine, serves to instance the dread en-
tertained by the lower classes of get
ting under the police. AS he was pas
sing the Isaac Bridge, droshka sud-
denly stopped before him, when the
driver leaped down, and with every
symptom ofconsternation, took his pas
senger from off the seat of the vehicle,
and laid him on the road; he then has
tily remounted his box and drove away
with all possible speed: The passen-
ger had been seized with a fit, when
thinking he might die, the affrighted,
but prudent Russian, took this method
of getting rid Of him, in order to avoid
the trouble and expense the police
would have imposed upon him, had he
been found with the dead body"

FROM THE FRENCH OF P. MENARD's
ANNIVERSARY ODE
Tor the Fourth of July 1S25.-By d. Fortune
Hank! Patriot Joy, with loud huzza,
Floats CHEEKY on the atmosphere,
To hail this great suspicious day,
To our beloved country dear.
That glorious period, long desir'd
Beholds our cause as Freedoms right;
The British foe, with vengeance frd,
Would crush that freedom in his might.
The trumpet sounds the battles hour,
For naughty Albion's numerous host;
But heaven, in justice, checked her power.
To prove how vain is human boast.
Columbia's sons the world beheld,
Some with .urprize, and some delight,
Prepare as Patriots for the field,
And in soul-trying hours unite.
IT'S courage, when by virtue led,
Strikes admiration's raptured eyes;
See in the blood that Britain shed,
The forms of future heroes rise.
View Bunker's Hill in fires wild blaze,
Where WARREN fell, as true as brave;
That scene the trembling foe dismays,
Design'd above this land to save.
On each revolving years return,
In joy, this festal day we keep.
A tribute due to glory's urn,
Where honored our fore-fathers sleep
With Fancy's fine, creative eye,
Behold!-our WASHINGTON descends
From his empyreal scat on high
Look round! tn immortal Guest attends.
But soft! see on our happy shore,
The veteran La FArErTE appear.
Who erst, the deep was waited DER,
The hopes of Liberty TO cheer.
To aid great WASHINGTON he came,
For victory did Heaven invoke,
And with our Chief of deathless fame,
Unbound the Tyrant's pond'rous yoke.
He saw with penetration's eyes,
Thro' sombre avenues of time,
A nation free, to greatness rise,
And now enjoys the scene sublime.
o! welcome to our favor'd soil,
Columbia cries with angel voice;
t. embrace thee, after wars turmoil,
The young, the hoary brave rejoice.
Mark here fair Liberty displayed,
Around the crowded prospects see:
Cities and Towns, and Ports and Trade,
All rose from WASHINGTON and Thee!
Our Citizens one bond unites,
From Commerce boundless treasure swells
The sacred Charter of our Rights,
Declares where independence dwells.
And as the rock the waves defes,
Or adamant, the scythe of time;
This Charter, SO revered, we prize,
Of human genius, work sublime
Resists proud despots in their spite,
And pours its wisdom DER the mind,
Conveying intellectual light
Thro' the wide globe to all mankind.
So the bright Sun enthroned on high,
In space ethereal without bound,
Sheds floods of splendor thro' the sky,
On all the distant worlds around.

A FORCED LAUGH.

FORCED LAUGH.
There is no exhibition in human ma
ture more distressing and woe begone
than the efforts of a man to appear
good natured when he is swelling with
rage, and to wear an air of confidence
in the success of favorite scheme, for
the result of which he il sinking with
timidity and apprehension. There is
want of heartiness, of genuine feeling
in those unfortunate displays, which
betray them to the eye Of the most
careless observer; and hypocrisy cam
not have a harder task assigned than TO
sustain a mirthful and selfsatisfed ex-
terror, when all within is the prey OF
guilty fears. In such cases her best
course is to look demure and saga
cious, enact the saint or the sage; but
let her beware Of a laugh,-'tis death
blow to her hopes of deluding the un-
and at once exposes the
within.

Greece.-lbrahm Pacha had been defeated in his

In Spain the arrests continue to be carried on

INTERESTING VIEW

From a London paper, Of September &c.
The situation Of Spain at the present moment at
tracts the attention of politicians and battles their

ny years, have been the victims of the errors of blind
and despotc rulers, naturally excles the sympathy
Of every teelint breast and their future deslinies
combined with the present position OF Europe, fur
nish matter Tor anxious consider aon.
Fatal experience perhaps, more than the result
OF mature reflection, induced numbers to establish,
as political creed, that they would never be quiet
OF happy under the presen. dynasty. Nay, so gen.
era OF late years, has this opinion became, that il
liberty had not within the very nation an enemy
whose strength it is difficult to counteract regard
less of consequences it is possible that, ere this, an
irritaed end nsulted people would have put an end
to the sovereignty o. the Bourbons. This powerful
opponent the Clergy, evidently constitutes one oil
the great parties into which Spaniards are divided

opposed to the we'll being OF the nation i, Cd

concert because It's conduct is guided by private
motives. Having complete aseendency over The
