| FROM the 4oatem tZrtiGs
| JOHN Randolph We learn from a respec-
table gentleman, recently arrived from st
Petcrsburgh, and who lodged in the same
| house with this extraordinary minister from
| United States, that the account oil this &c
| centric character copied from the Journal Of
Commerce, is substantially correct; that his
| conduct in every situation has beer such as
te astonish and disgust even those who were
somewhat prepared TO sec a tusts nafurg.
Ii seems thar, contrary TO the advice Of
the court tailor, be determined 10 appear be-
fore the emperor IN his usual dress, viz: a
blue coat, oufi waistcoat, buckskin brooches,
and white top boots, with the addition of "A
large Dragons sword attached to a broad
white belt, drawn tight around the body, and
over the coat. When presented, the empe
ror accested him IN ffrench, IN which Ian
guage our buckskin hero not being very flu
| ent, was for ence in his life put TO the mon
plus" Whether a sensation Of fear or rever-
ence, or a mistaken notion of propriety gave
the impulse, We arc unable TO say, but the
fact is, that the ambassador extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiarY. fell immediate
ly on both knees and delivered his credentials
"Oh! what a fall was there my countryrnen!"

imperial majesty the Gar of ali the Rnssiansl
Then you and and all of US fell down. y for
we were ~alicmbodied and represented in chat
''bone and muscle" emblem Of our republic.
After recovering from his surprise, the
good Nicholas sent lof an Interpreter, and
kindly raised up the iowly ambassador pro
badly ''by placing his thumb under his chm"
".Aiadome' was then asked for, as has been
stated, and accordingly came an; but no 500
ner did she hehold the queer object tAat soil
cited her attendance, than she burst into a fit
OF laughter. This, in the opinion of DOR he
70, was very anilable. and by way Of con
versation, he told her ladyship that .No,aseer,
there, was the first crowned head before
whem he ever bad the honor OF appearing.
The ambassadors of foreign powers have
all called upon Mr.. r.; but he not only refus-
es them ad.nittance, but even forbids .Juba to
bring up their cards. He SAYS that congress
has made no provision for his embassy, and
that the president gave directions to draw
upon nm personally for his expenses, that he
was only ordered TO remain six months at ST.
Petersburgh, and he has then permission to
travel where he chooses, at the public ex-
Pcnse. His health appears to be fast failing.
and when our informant left, he intended to
embark IN a steamboat for Lubcc, and from
thence go to Paris. ahe faithful Juba saws,
"Massa never was half so crazy"
Ihe London correspondent Of the Journal
OF under date of6th October saws:
MIR. Randolph, aiteT remaining three days at
the court OF St. Petersbursh, came to Lon
don about a week since. Ilis health is quite
feeble, and 10 amend ii he will probably pass
the winter in Italy"
The Bosto" Eccning Transcript, of Satur-
day, announcesthe arrival there, in the Fame,
from Cronstradt, of Luba, the servant of Mr.
Randolph, with thirteen trunks, containing
his personal effects.
The Boston papers inform us that Juba
(Nir. Randolph's ~lavorite servant has taken
lootngs at the fremont House, and is an OBJ
Ject OF great attention. Ii is said that he has
brought the long stsord with which the Min.
ister Plenlpotentiary appeared before the au-
tocrat of all the Russias.
