NANrUcKEv, JAN 3O.-By Capt. Swain, of
the Dauphin, from Pernambuco, we learn that n
report prevailed at that place, that the Emperor had
lost 1000 men in engagement at the Rio de la
Plata. The English brig Asia, as a transport, had
sailed for Rio Grande, having on board battalion
OF cavalry destined for the River Sir Charles
Stuart arrived at Pernambuco the 18th OF De-

Great public works, for utility as well as orna-
inent, suggested under the reign of Alexan-
der, and successfully advanced. The interior
communications of his immense empire, had he
lived 10 a moderate old age, would have been i'm
proved and multiplied in a degree no less striking
than that IN which its boundaries east and west
have been enlarged: and its influence over sur
rounding states has been, beyond all precedent in
Russian history, extended.
II the death of Alexander is an event to be de-
plored by the great majority Of his people, by
Europe generally, we may suppose, that i, will be
looked at with very different emotions. As the
author, and master, and mover of the Holy ALI
ance, the late emperor declared foe TO the
political rights of all civilized nations, to the
cause of freedom over the whole earth, and to the
Improvement and happiness of man as member of
society. The jealousy with which this pupil of
the reforinist La Harpe, watched through his min
listers In the remotest spots of Europe, the first
buildings OF independent spirit and manly feelings
in matters of government, that he might nip and
crush them, is notorious every where. He it was
who stimulated his crouching allies to preach up
the far famed monarchical principle, which rea-
dered the caprice of any tyrant, the most afro.

contributed much to the diffusion OF knowledge
but there are many parts Of the state too remote
from them to enjoy a full share OF their benefits.
Inasmuch as we consider this highly important

We are informed, (says the Sum- from
gu arter on which we place great reliance. thar
the negotiation with France, on the subiec, of
a commercial treaty, so far from being at an
end, is now in actual progress, and with every
prospect Of being brought TO favorable con.
clusion. The unexpected death of the Empe.
ror Alexander has tended, it is said, greatly to
strengthen the relations of amity between France
and England; the two great powers, by whose
union alone any undue pretensions from the
North could be put down.
1t appears from the aggregate averages Of
corn, which regulate foreign importation, tina,
the ports continue open for the next six weeks
for the admission Of foreign barley but are
closed against the importation of peas.
Russia.-The accounts from Russia and 9th
er parts OF the Continent appear to have very
satisfactorily removed all suspicion as to the
death Of the Emperor Alexander; a crcum.
stance which will give great satisfaction to all
but those who took great credit for their "au
thentic" intelligence from ''most respectable
sources" and for the sake ofwhose reputation
Alexander ought certainly, to have died by
steel or the bow string. A sentiment of deem
regret appears to have prevailed throughout
Russia on the annunc!ation ofAlexander's death
strongly indicative Of the respect felt by the
Russians for the character Of their Emperor;
feeling which, we believe, to have been gen
eral, except among some Of the mobiles, and to
which his general excellent character as a SOY
ereign gave him just title.
Constantine has succeeded ofcourse so that
the rumours of documentary bcquest of the
crown to another branch appear TO have been
unfounded. The Archduke Nicholas was a.
mong the first to take the oath of ai,e ;iance to
the new Emperor, and to the Archduke Mi
chael the Vice-Royalty ofPoland is said to have
been con6ded.
What the policy Of Constantine may be as to
Turkey and Greece, is the princial question,
not that we think Russia can do any thing very
decisive as to Turkey, without the consent OF
other European powers, whatever may be the
ambition ofConstantine; but that it is practical
bile measure TO take some steps which may be
favourable 10 Greece, and for which Russia
whatever may be her ultimate views will, ques.
tionless, be applauded by the world We had
rather that matters had not been left to Rus
sian interference; for our policy is not to
strengthen the influence of Russia in that quar-
ter but rather than such a people should be
left to brutal insults and massacres, humanity
rejoices in any prospect in their favour, from
whatever quarter Of the heavens it may break
upon them.

Partisan Gaming Houses.-The following ex-
tract from the "Manuel de PEntranger dams Pa
ris," for 1925, by c. Harmand, is highly cred
liable to the good principles Of the editor:-Of
all The seductions TO which foreigners are ex-
posed in this great city, the most dangerous,
the only one the extent of which cannot be
foreseen the only one from which there is no
escape, is gambling. Reason and morality have
in vain exerted themselves to put an end TO
the plague of gaming houses. The evil that
might result from the establishment OF secret
and clandestine tables, the proceedings Of
which it would be impossible TO overlook, and
the income of 10000 francs resulting to the
state from these scandalous, institutions, in
duce government to project them. We will,
however, abstain from indicating one Of them;
preferring to be charged with inaccuracy or
imperfec,ion, rather than to facilitate the en-
trance of single human being into places
from which there is but step 10 shame, or
death. 1t is estimated that the sums hazarded
at the gaming-tables of Paris, amount to the
enormous total Of $50, 100000 offrancs year

THE GREATEST RACE ON RECORD


On SATURDAY. last, the annual races over the
Washington Course terminated, with one OF
the greatest trials Of speed and bottom ever eX-
hibited on this or any other course in Europe
or America The horses that had run during
the three preceding days, were handicapped
for the Cup on Saturday, and as the racing OF
the week had exhibited some fine horses, every
one anticipated severe contest At the hour
of entrance, three horses were given in TO the
Stewards, Col. Spann's Bertrand, who won the
first day, Mr.. Davenporl's horse .aratus, who
won the second, and Mr.. Harrisons's Kate, that
had won the sweeps,ake The speed and OK
cellence Of .9rafus and Kate, were no secret to
the sportsmen, and being from the same stable,
the friends of Bertrand, always fayorite on
this turf saw that dreadful strife awaited
him with such fearful odds opposed. Col.
Spann decided against running his horse, and
it was expected at this moment there would be
no race. MIR Harrison, at this juncture, agreed
10 draw one of the horses from his stable, in
order to contribute to the amusement OF the
vast assemblage Of persons present After
this determination was made, Col Spann, be-
ing satisfied that his horse could lose nothing
of his well-earned reputation, by being beaten
in such an unequal match, and being equally
DESTROYS to contribute to the sports of the turf,
agreed 10 run his horse, although both nrafus
and Kate should run, and notified Mr.. Harrison
of his determination.
AS soon as it was positively known that the
three horses would run, the most knowing
sportsmen were against Bertrand, but would
only take the field against him Many bets
were made in that way, Bertrand against the
field; many were made upon the several heats.
