service to the United States, and especially to

service to the United States, and especially to
the great western European powers, In the
discovery and exposure of conspiracy so
diabolical in itself, and so threatening to the
peace of the world, that its timely detection
entities the Albion to the profound gratitude
of the whole of Christendom.
This discovery is of the remarkable fact that
all the operations of Sir Gaspar LIE Marchant,
Mr.. Howe, Mr.. Champion, and, for aught we
know, of Lord Palmerston himself and the
British Parliament, in the business of recruit
ing troops for the Crimea in the United States,
from the passage of the foreign legion bill
last winter, down to the conviction of Hertz
and Wagner at Philadelphia and New York,
is nothing but tremendous conspiracy for the
injury of great Britain, contrivcd, managed,
and skillfully conducted to q successful con-
summation by most extraordinary person, said
to be in the service of the Emperor of Russia,
and concealed somewhere here in Washington,
whose name is reported to be the Chevaler
Stocked
We are not informed in what part of Wash
ington this remarkable person has established
his laboratory of plots and conspiracies. Ever
since the disclosure of tho fact made by the
Albion, we have been looking round and il.
! curing with extreme solicitude to find out
where it can be. We do not feel safe in walk
ing the streets. For aught we know, the earth
is mined all about under our feet; and that the
first thing we shall know, the Star office, our
important self included, will be blown sky
high, to the great CONSERVATION and confusion
Of the politicians, who have come long since
to learn that we are the polar Star in the po-
litical armament
We begin to grow very curious, as we'll as
very much alarmed. Is this Chsvalier Stocked
mere mortal man, or is he some marvclau-
magician from the caves Of Domdaniel?
If the Chevalier Stocked is mere morta'
man, arc we to consider him a fair specimen
of these Russian barbarians of which we hear
SO much from England and France? Has the
Emperor Alexander got two or three more suoh
men employed abroad? If he has, we may
reasonably expect in the course of fcw
months, that while Marshal Pelissier is smash
ing away at Sebastopol, and the Allies are
| getting up great corcentric movements upon
the Russians in the Crimea, We shall
hear that, in spite of all this, the Allies,
while victorious in the field, will have lost the
game by the Superior intellectually of the
Cossacks, and that we shall wake up some
bright morning to find on our table tele
graphic dispatch Of the last news from London
by the Africa or the Baltic, setting forth how
Count Nesselrode is in the House Of Lords as
Premier, Prince GOtschakcff, Strogonotf, Orlof,
or some other of as Secretary of War, and
Chevalier Stocked administration leader in
the House Of Commons,
An Army Officer Resigned First Lieut.
