~ see the American Minister, and to JOIN his corps
fAsre. His situation OWNED, the privilege was
srsnted and the Lieutenant arrived In the pres
spee of the Minister repeating, with an evident con-
yiction of ts truth, that Jordan was hard road TO
"travel" Mr.. Seymour laidthe affair before the Min
hter Of War, and on account of bis being an Ameri-
can an arrangement was suggested BY which he might
withdraw himself from the difficulty into which he
had fallen.
The Russian Minister proposed that Rogers should
ask for leave Of absence for a week, and in the
time he could leave the country under the promise Of
returning, but in fact to remain away. This was &C.
septed but he was in debt and had no means of pay
ing. Besides he was expected to pay the price due
for leave of absence from the army, sum which is
refunded when the absentee returns. The bonus for
commission being payable at any time during the first
weeks, perhaps months Of service was not question.
The frat week stole away, and he did not get the
money. In the meantime he grew terribly home
siek and declared if bis life spared to get out Of
Russia he would leave for the United States as
quickly as possible and remain there contented for
the rest of his days At the end Of the week, aPp-
cation was made, at the suggestion Of the Russian
Minister himself, who understood the difficulty,
for another weeks furlough which of course was
granted This was alb nut two weeks ago, at which
time my informant left St Petersburgb; but at that
moment eNbrts were being made TO raise the neces-
ssTy sum to get him out Of the scrape The last thing
he Of poor Rogers On leaving the Russian capt
tai LIE was ,itting in thoughtful attitude, the
railing Of bridge the Neva squirting tobacco
Juice furiously and swearing Jordan is hard road
"to travel i believe"
Mr.. Beverley c. Sanders of San Francisco, who
left Paris for the Russian capital in the month of JAN
uary last has succeeded in efectng an arrangement
with the Russian Government which will secure to
him an immense fortune, if he is permitted b ENJOY
for any great length OF time the contract which he
has made. BY this arrangement he becomes Russian
Paymaster for the western coast Of America, and en-
Joys certain rights in connection with Russian com
nerce which, it 10 sntc pated, will prove extremely
lucrative. Mr. Sanders living in the most princely
style IN St. Petersburg, and frequently gives dinners
q rimprotiste which frighten the wealthy Rue
sian noblemen by their costliness.
An apecdote in connection with the two American
BOpapsrtes occurred at Versailles the other day
which 10 too good to be lost. These two gentlemen
father ana son, bad gone to visit the Petit 1rlanon
and as usual, drove out with one OF the Imperial
coaches. aDd-four, with the Imperial livery. CON-
pBDy OF visitors, numbering in all perhaps twenty
persons who had collected in the Grand Tranon, had
come together at the entrance Of the Petit Tranon to
Wait il also AS usual, the company was nearly all
Fprli,h; there were three Americans and three or
four Frencbmen. They were all stopped at the door
BY a Iackey, who informed them that they could not
ttatn fo
guished persons then visiting the place who could not
be interrupted 1t was then observed by the company
that coach-and four bearing the Imperial livery was
staud,r near and it was supposed that the Emperor
~u in the palace Lines formed on each side Of
the oor and after considerable delay Mr. BOnaparte
and his sOD the lieutenant came out, when the En-
glisb (among whom, by the way, there we're some
persons of distnction,) took off their hats and
luted very Lumbly and very respectfully the gem
tl,msn whom they supposed to be the Emperor
and his ate ndant. The Bonapartes bowed politely
and took their seats in the carriage which had been
driven up TO the door for their convenience As the
L,uteuan, took bis seat he happened to discover in
the crowd Mr.. T. of New.York, whom he knew,
and re ching out bis hand in familiar way to shake
hands, he raid, "Wby, how are you, Mr.. IT," The
compliments of the day passed, the carriage
drove of, and Mr.. I. was immediately beset to know
who that G, DtlemaD was with the Emperor who talked
such good English. When they were informed who
the distinguished personages were, their cOnsterna
ton and disgust were frigbtful To think that they
had been playing court and making fools of them
8 Ives for two vulgar republicans the idea was
crushing and they crept away muttering between
their teeth something about American barbarians
and American humbugs.
