Count Diebitsch.-The glorious successes
which lately crowned the Russian arms. may,
in very great measure, be attributed to the
skiIfnl management of their COmmander-in-
chief, Count Diebifsch he is SO much the l.
dol of the army, that even envy dares not ut
ter its sentiments.
He is not only compared to Peter the
Great, who likewise led the victorious Rus
slams against the Turks, but is pronounced
equal in military talents. to the great Captain
who, for twenty years, led Frenchmen to
triumph aud victory, and cuIled so many
never fading laurels for them and for him
self.
Count Diebtsch is small in person. and
nearly of the same stature as Napoleon he
resembles him likewise in many military
qualities. Those persons who have had an
opportunity oft being near his person, are. Law
lsh IN their praise of him, and speak in the
highest terms of his fitness for IA commander
his activity Ibis circumspection his presence
of mind; the acuteness of his observation.
which derives advantage from the most fri
fling fault of his adversary. He sleeps but
four hours out of twenty -four. and passes the
greater part of the night in debating orders,
Or on horseback, to reconnoitre in person the
outposts, and making dispositions for the
next day. His meals are extremely frugal,
and Of the shortest possible duration. 10 So
cial intercourse, he is the polished COurter
kind and affable to his interiors and he never
fails to take particular notice of military
men Of any grade. who have, in any way dis
tinguished themselves.
With such talents as a commander, and
such qualities as a man of the world, he
could not fail to win all hearts and he is ado
red by the army, who consider him as destn
ed by Providence to solve the long agtated
question of the overthrow of the Turkish
Empire in Europe German paper.
