This delicate hint that his exterior was too ter
ri6le to be seen at the head of troops not remark
able for good looks, so irritated the future hero
OF the Balcan, that with his natural warmth he
begged to resign, not his tour of duty only, but
the commission he held in the Russian army; and
being a Prussian and not a Russian subject, de-
sired to be allowed to return to his native coun-
try. The Emperor Alexander who appears to
have formed a just estimate of his talents, easily
found means to pacify him, BY giving him promo
ton in the line. He has subsequently made him
self so useful in that part Of the service where
beauty was not indispensable, that the late empe-
ror placed MIN at the head Of the general staff,
which situation he held when the ~reigning empe-
ror appointed him to succeed Count Wi,tsenstein
