adopted by Constantine for the purpose of kecpinp for
egn Governments from learning The melancholy events
OF the capital; whether it is TO be considered merely
rs piece OF policy rendered necessary by the peculiar
situation of Poland, and the feelings of its people; but
as you know that we have other of communica-
ton with Petersburgh by the way of Dantzig Konios
Berg, Riga, and Revel, Government, which is so
deeply interested III knowing what is going forward in
respect to the succession to the throne of Russia keeps
up regular communication by that route. Letters of

these armies, whom the opinions and feelings
of the inhabitants of the interior have ALWAYS an
influence smaller grcater-Ip respect to these feel
ngs all can say TO you that they are not favorable
