RUssIkN NEws.-Sir Henry Seymou,
the English Minister at st. Petersbprg
has reported toshis Government CONVEX
sations he has held with the Car, in re-
lstion to the affairs of Turkey and Aus
tria, by which, it appears that Austria
is regarded as a mere sppendage of
Russia, their interests being declared by
the Car to be identical. ~ 7assr gs49
! We quote some offthe expressions of
the Gar, as indicative of the policy he
will probably pursue. Itisevident that
he thinks Austria is in his hands, and it
is equally evident that that nation viii
cheat the one party or the other. We
have from the first thought it would, in
the end, unite with Russia. s GO .a... :.
Nicholas said TO Sir Henry Seymour,
Frankly, then, tell you, that if Eng
land thinks of establishing herself one
of these days at Constantinople, will
not allow it. / do not attribute this in
tention to you, but it is better on these
occasions to speak plainly; for my part,
l am equally disposed to take the en-
gagement not to establish myself there,
as proprietor that is to say, for as oc-
cupier do not say; it might happen
that circumstances, if no previous pro-
visions were made, if everything should
be left to chance, might place me in a
position of occupying Constantinople.
The Gar also used this language to
the British Ambassador: . 70
Then, rejoined the Emperor, will
tell you that if your Government has
been led to believe that Turkey retains
any elements of existence, your Govern
ment must have received incorrect in
formation. Irepeat to you that the sick
man is dying; and we can never allow
such an event to take us by surprise
We must come to some understanding.
will not tolerate the permanent oc-
cupation of Constantinople by the Rus
slams; having said this, / will say that
it never shall be held by the English,
French, or any other great nation
Again, | never viii permit an attempt at
the Reconstruction of a Byzantine En-
pire, or such an extension of Greece as
would render her powerful State; still
less will l permit the breaking up of
Turkey into little Repubics--asylums
for Kossuth and Mazzinis, and other
reyolutionists of Europe; rather than
submit to any of these arrangements,
would go to war, and as long as | have
a man and musket, would carry it on.
BoNAPARTE's s POVERTY IN EARLY LIFE.
-Thiers, in his history of the CQnsu-
late, relates some strange and previous
ly unknown particulars respecting the
early life and penury Of Napoleon Bona
parte.
1t appears that after he had obtained
a subaltern's commission in the French
service by his skill and daring at Tou-
lon, he lived sometime in PARIS in OBJ
scure lodgings, and in such extreme
poverty, that he was often without the
means of paying ten sous (ten cents
for his dinner, and frequently went
without any. He was under the neces-
sity of borrowing small sums, and even
worn out clothes from his acquaintancesl
He, and his brother Louis, afterwards
King of Holland, had at one time only
a coat between them, so that the broth
ers could only go out alternately, time
and time about. At this crisis, the
chief benefaetor of the future emperor
and conqueror, cat whose mighty name
the world grew pale" was the actor
Talma, who often gave him wood and
Napoleon's face, afterwards so
famed for its classic mould, was, during
that period of starvation, harsh and
angular in its lneaments, with project
ing cheek bones.
His meagre fare brought on an un-
pleasant and unsightly cutaneous dis
ease, of a type so virulent and malig-
lant, that it took all the skill and assidui-
y of his accomplished physician. Cor
gisort, to expel it, after duration of
more than ten years. r-r
The squalid beggar then, the splendid
emperor afterwards-the threadbare ha- /
and the imperial mantle-the |
novel, and the palace-the meagre food, !
and the gorgeous banquet-the friend
ship of poor actor-the homage and
error of the world-an exile and a
prisoner. Such are the ups and downs
If this changeful life-such are the
lights and shadows of the great and
mighty.
