Courage Of the Cxars.

II it be true that the present car of
Russia is lacking in courage, at least
his ancestors have shown bravery at
critical times. Alexander L., the en-
,lightened opponent Of Napoleon. was
a brave soldier. At Austerlitz the en-
peror exhibited high courage. He
placed himself at the head of the
fourth column Of the. allied army and
constantly remained with the infantry
during the whole Of the sanguinary
conflict. When the fortune Of the day
turned to the side Of the French the
efforts Of Alexander were most con
spicuous. Three times, at the head Of
his guards, he charged the enemy and
by his gallantry not only secured the
retreat of the remainder of the allied
army, but recaptured the greater part
of the Russian artillery.
