Der.r, Dear S:r,
I APPLY to you in a cafe of real dif-
Ir.l's. My life is at (lake I and it appears
to me that you alone can save it.
My melancholy history is this :
I am the daughter of a decayed gentle
woman, who keeps a boarding house at the
corner of street, on the profits of
which depends the fubfiftenc* of the family.
It is my misfortune to have been born
with ?n extreme sensibility of nerves, and a
general d:licacy or debility of organization,
which fubje£ls xie to a thousand inconve
nit-Hcies. I receive for inllance. not ortly
difagreeab e, but dangerous impreflions from
offsnfiye finclls a; d tastes, from the view of
tilth a id dirt, and even from the obftrvatinn
of a wa it of cleanliness and decency in the
dress or the habits of individuals—l have

Buonaparte is said to be in a very bad

may properly exclaim " would he were

are of their lives, when any purpose of mi

BERLIN May 3.
The book entitled, Secret Mimoirs rela
tive to Rtiflia, is the fule fubjeft of convert -
tion in this city, and a confidenible differ
ence of opinion prevails with refpeft to its
charattei" While fame pcrfonj regard it is
an infamous libel, others, on the contrary,
take every word of it for gospel.—Every
one decides 011 it according to his particular
political bias. Thus the Royalists revile it,
becaufc, as they amagine, in every page the
author exposes himfelf as an innovator and
a Republican ; and-ths Revolutionists extol
extracts
Frosj
it to the Ikies, bec.iufe it boltffy ftiijiS an
Emperor of -ia»3 Royal tinsel. I regard th:S
work as a coHcftion ct fhapeh-fs (tones,
which, cut by a f<fc, able, and fte:»dy
hand, may one day farm a column in the
'Jenipel of History. But the materials mud
nbt be indifcriminattly employed.---Some
are mere veins of chalk, find, an t clay,
while others consist of marble or granite.
The greater part of the nncdo'.es detailed
by the author, are true, but a few ot them
are palpably, falfe. The fame observation
may be applied to his conclilfions, the
pencil seems to tremble in his hand, and his
toueh is deflitute of uniformity.

an enumeration of their titles will Ihsw the

the author treats. We shall extract a few
of themoft striking paflages :
Madame Lebrun, 110 lels celebrated for her
affairs of gallantry with Vaudreuil and
Calonne than for her talents, intended to
draw a portrait of Catherine 11. after her
death. The following advice wasgiven her
upon this occasion—let the map of Russia >
be .your'canvas, the darkness of ignorance
your back-ground, the spoils of Poland
your drapevy, human blood your Colouring,
your outline the monuments of her reign,
and ypur shade the fiift fix months of the
reign of her son.
The author pretends that Paul ii sur
rounded by abler Counsellors than his mo
ther had. This might have been true at the
time when he wrote ; for Paul had not then
dilmiffed the Kourakins, to whom he is Ha
ted to have owned both his throne and his
life.
But the author immediately contradi&s
himfelf, by observing, that Catharine, in
talking of her Minilters, represented them
as a set of punchinellos, whom (he could
manage at pie afu re.
A perlonage who has a Considerable (hare
of influence at Court, is a Turkilh valet de
chambre, who was carried into slavery in his
infancy and reared in the Palace. To this
Turk, named Iwan Paulowitch, the Ruffian
Generals and Grande s at present pay their
Court.-
Love is the (Irongeft and the molt pafdon
able of all our paffiofis. Its cxceffes- and
its abuses are therefore, regarded as* left
odious; and the reign of uiiftrefles'will
never fee so humiliating as that of valets. I
wan Panlowitch is aftually a C'unfdlor of
State, and hae the' title cf Excellency. He
has, since the auther wrote this book, re
ceived the order of St. and hastoeen
appointed ' Grand Huntsman and Grand
Equery. It must however be observed, in
justice to Iwan, that he is neither infol:rit
nor wicked.
