Darrell Webster IN Russia.-1his diStin-
gu,.shed Senator, it seems, is we'll known in
the dominions ofthe great Autocrat. In con-
versation recently with u gentleman just ar
rived from Russia, he stated that having
some business TO transact in ST. Petersburgh,
with celebrated broker, previous to his
leaving that city he called personally to ar
range it. Finding this gentleman to be an
American, the banker asked many questions
about Mr. Webster, and appeared as we'll
acquainted with him and his political stand
ing, as though they had been long acqainted.
The banker, (his unpronounclable name we
have forgotter,) had the whole of MIR. Web.
ster's speeches, and although he understood
our language imperfectly, he read them over
again With delight. Those on the currency,
in particular, he thought the most able pa
pers he had ever read. He said that such
was the admiration of Mr. Webster that he
had an order in this country, to send him all
his productions, of whatever character. we
SUPPOSE the loco-focos will say that this Rus
sian banker furnished the Wings with the
money to secure the election of Mr.. Webster.

He was induced to join, the " Hunters" or
!" Patriot Masons," by MIR. Stone OF Sal
lima, who also presented him with the nag
that was taken at the Mill. He was told that
the people of Canada would receive them
with open arms, and that even the British re-.
gulars would join them on their landing
Trusting to these representations he embark
ed with others on the United States at Oswe-
90, took the two schooners in tow laden with
men, three cannon, and munitions of war;
was baffied in the attempt to land at Pres.
colt. but finally landed atthe Windmill with
1870 men. He soon discovered how he had
been deceived, as no aid came to them, nor
did any one join them. But as ne had no
means of returning to the, States, ne strength
ened his position as far rs possible, and made
the best defence he could. =.
