EXTRAORDINARY NERVE.

While Murat was in Madrid, he was
anxious to communicate with Junot IN
Portugal but all the roads to Lisbon
swarmed with guGrrllas, aud with the
troops composing Castanos' army
Murat mentioned his embarrassment to
Baron Strogonof, the Russian ambassa-
dor to Spain.
Russa, it is well known, was at that
time not only the ally, but the friend Of
France. Nj, De Strogonotf told Murat
that it was the easiest thing in the world
"The Russian Admiral Sinlavln," said
he, sis in the port at Lisbon give me
the most intelligent of your Polish Ian
GERS l will dress him up in Russian
uniform, and entrust him with the dis
patches TOR the admiral-all will go well
even if he should be taken prisoner 4
dozen times between this and Lisbon,
for the insurgent army is so anxious TO
obtain our neutrality, that it will be care
iul not to furnish pretext for rupture,
Murat was delighted with this ingen
ous scheme. lie asked krasinski, the
conmandant of the lancers, to find him
Il brave and intelligent young man. Two
days afterwards the commandant brought
the prince IN young man Of his corps,
tor whom he pledged his life his name
was Leckjnski, and was but eighten years
old.
Murat was moved at seeing so young
man court so eminent danger for,
If he were detected his doom was sealed
Murat could not help remarklng to the
Pole the risk he was about to run. The
youth smiled. "Let your imperial high
ness give me my Instructions, answered
he respectfully, 'and l will give good
accoun. Of the mission have been hon.
ored with. l thank his highness for
having chosen me from my comrades, for
all of them would have courted this dis
tinction.'
The young prince argued tavorably
from the young man's modest resolution
The Russian ambassador gave HIM his
dispatches he put on Russian uni
form, and set out for Portugal.
The first two days passed over quietly,
but on the afternoon of the third, Leck>
inski was surrounded by a body OF
Spaniards, who disarmed him, and drag>
ged him before their comoanding officer.
Luckily for the gallant youth, it was Gas,
tanos himself
