THE RETREAT FROM MOSCOW.

By the following manifesto from our efficient
Mayor, it will be seen that he retreats backward
from his high-handed usurpation of the City
Government. He declines TO swear in the Whig
officers elect, but informs them that they can be
sworn in by another functionary, and that he
will protect and sustain them in the exercise of
official power. He merely reserves the ques-
ton to he carried up, for forms sake, to the
Court of Errors, where he must know by this
time that he has not the ghost ofa succeed
This is in part wilfulness, and in part anxiety
to make others think that he thinks he has leg
to stand on.
