From an Zvgiijk To ft r
PRINCE POTEMKIN.
THlSPrince, according to the mili
tary law of Russia, served as all
otheryoung Noblemen do, a few years
Serjeant in tlie Em pre Is s guards,
and at length received Lhe com million
of an officer. Fortunately lor Russia,
her Imperial Majelty continually re
wards merit, an<l her feletfting the
Prince is a proof of the Sovereign s
great discernment.
The early pait of the Prince's life
was dedicated to extreme ftndy ; and
during the last war again ft the Turks,
he diltinguilhed himfelf under the
orders of Field Matihal Romanzoff.
At the commencement of the war
in 1788, his Highness was appointed
to the command of the army agailifl
the Turks. After repuFfing the ene
my at Kinglmrn, he pitched his camp
before OtzakofF, besieged that strong
fortrefs four months ; and though
during the lafl fix weeks there was
frequently 20 degrees of frofl, and a
very deep snow, took it, to his im
mortal renown, by storm ; on the
17th of December. His Highnefs's
other great contjuefts, in the years
1789 and 1 T9O, are so generally known,
that it is uuneceflary to enumerate
them here ; — and I have no doubt
but his humanity to his numerous
prifuners has been long ago publish
ed ; for it was his firft care, after his
wounded men, to fee himfelf that the
unfortunate were supplied with eve
ry poflible comfort. He was beloved
by the army.
Now let us view him as a Statef
man,and we find bim a great patriot
110 fubjert has ever existed, who
had the unlimited power of Prince
Potemkin. Her Imperial Majefly's
well-judged confidence had made him
almighty in her immense dominions;
and notwithstanding all this power,
since his death, his few envious ene
mies have declared that he never ren
dered a man unhappy.
The Ruffians have long enjoyed
the fruits of the inaiuifatflories he
commenced and parronifed. If the
matter of any art was to be purcha
sed from u foreign country, there
was a general order from his High
ness to secure him at any expense,
out ot his own private fortune. He
would have fuflicient proof given that
the Ruffian Cabinet is not to be out
inanceuvred, ill which dexterity the
Prince bore a considerable (hare. In
the arts and fcienccs he was a con
noisseur, his tafle in architecture has
been jnftly admired by all our fo
reigners ; latterly he paid great at
tentioil to naval architecture, and
was cfieemed a competent judge of a
faip of war,
Jlis Highness had never travelled
out of Ruffra • yet upon hearing his
fconverfation, one might have conclu
ded that he had vifiied every corner
of the globe. His memory was equal
to his information ; his ideas were
fnblime, as his power was great. Her
Imperial Majesty, who has much la
jnented his death, declared in tears
on receiving the melancholy news,
that flie had loft a faithful friend.
