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.
