St. Petersburg. : Prior to the various successes in arms of .• .PETSR the Great against the Finns and Swedes, whicji placed the provinces of Care lia and Ingrta under the dominion .of the . Czar, Russia ha'l no communication with western Europe by sea. The river Neva, whose channel empties the waters of Lake Ladoga into thte,Bay of Cronstndt at the eastern extremity of the Gulf of Finland, is the dividing line between the two provin ces. A few miles above its mouth the Ne ria divides itself into two principal branches • besides numerous smaller channels, which seperate a great number-of islands formed by the gradual and steady deposite through p long course of years of sand brought down y the river. PETER, with a view to secure Ft permanent foothold in. his newly acquired territory, and to follow up the advantage • silready gained of a water communication with the West through the Gulf of Finland pt once commenced the erection of a fortress ' ,upon one of these Islands. On Holy Trini ty day in the year 1703, the Emperor placed the first stone with his own hands, and' thus the foundation of St. Petersburg was laid. The enterprise was prosecuted with all the energy for which PETER'S nature was so ,remarkable, and no means at the command of iin absolutevovereign were spared. The situation of the place and the marshy and unstable character of the around rendered the work one of great difficulty. Large numbers of workmen were brought from all parts of the vast empire, and compelled to labor under great disadvantages. So unpro vided were they with proper facilities for labor, that in the construction of the fortress they were obliged to carry materials in the folds 'of their garments. or in mats. Not withstanding these difficulties 4d•the pre valence of wasting diseases entente the work men, so ceaseless was the activity of the Czar in pushing forward the work, that the fortress (which stands to this day) was coin- ' pleted in the short space of five months.-- PETER established his reside,nce on the spot Gov.

Schools, lyceums, gymnasia and institutions oflearning are nu . inerous anal well appointed with all the aidsto instruction. Over two hundred church. es and , chapels are scattered through the City, and many of them adorned with a gor geousness and splendor which show the lav ish expenditure of wealth in their erection and decoration. Extensive barracks fur nish accommodations for the Imperial guard rind the ordinary troops of the garrison.— The streets are many of them board and of Considerable extent, paved with stone and lined on either side with long rows of ele gant public and private edifices. The dif ferent islands upon which the city is built are connected by substantial and permanent bridges of stone, or bridges of wood which ean . be removed when the waters are frozen throughout the long and severe winters, and the ice afrords a secure passage . at every point. The lianka of the Neva and its branches, and of the canals which interest the city, are lined with board stone quays which confine the waters within due•bounds and prevent the washing away of the unsub stantial soil. Spacious squares and places surrounded by churches and public build ings, and adorr.ed with columns and statues add to the beauty of the city. The defences and fortification of St. Pe tersburg proper, and in its immediate vicinity are extensive in themselves, though in com parison with the works at Cronstad, twenty miles below, they may appear insignificant. So hat even Cronstadt is captured by the cotHbined fleets of England and France in the present war, it is scarcely probable that the Czar will allow his capital to fall a prey to the allies without an attempt at resistance. True, the fortifications at Cronstadt are re garded as the key of St. Petersburg, but the very great losses which must be sufler ed in and successful Attack upon the former necessarily so great %Waken the hostile force that further operations against the latter may be resisted with some ' hope of success. And the determination of the Emperor is apparent from the large forces he has assembled at St Petersburg and the labor he is expending in strengthening the present defences and erect ing new ones. But, though in case of hos tile movements against the city itself, the in habitants, or the greater part of them, can be removed to places of safety in the interior, yet . the attack and defence must lead to the injury and ruin of many of the splendid buildings and the destruction of a vast amount of property, and many years must elapse' before St. Petersburg can recover from the blow and resume its rank for splen dor and magnificence among the capitals of Europe. It may be that the full of Cron stadt and the subsequent capture of St. Pe tersburg will lend to the removal of the im perial Court to the ancient seat of the Mus covite sovereigns at Moscow, and the mod ern capital hereafter be known only as the chief seaport of Russia. Contenental illotkey. No par redemption of the continental mon ey was made by Congress. The frequent and large . emissionA of soon reduced it in value, and eventually destroyed all coati: dente in it. The first issue took place in 1785, and•by the end of 1779, the country had been flooded with $18,000.000 of it-- The whole amount issued during the war was not less than $400,000,000 ; but the collections made by, the continental govern ment in various ways cancelled from time to time about one half of it, so that the maxi itnum did not at any period exceed $2OO, 000,000 nor did it tench that sum until its depreciation had compelled Congress to take it in and reissue it at forty dollars for .one in specie. During the first year of its emission, it kept nearly at parobti gradually decreased in value, until finally $lOOO of it was offered for one in specie, when it ceased' to belooked 'upon tis of any valua . all. It was customary at that day to treat it with the utmost contempt and levity, and workmen would show their disregard for the loss occasioned by its depreciation by pasting it up in their shops, forming head caps of it, &c., &c. The Continental Congress, at one time offered to exchange $4O of this currency for one, by giving the holders what was called a loan certificate at par; but as these had gone down to eight dollars for one, few were found to avail themselves of the slim inducements which this method presented. When however, the prosent constitution was formed, in 1789, all these loan certifi cates and various other evidences of debt Which had been issued to pay the expenses of the war, were funded and immediately rose to par—making fortunes for many.— This constituted the public debt, and amounted to $94,000,000. The statements we have given may seem to show a want of proper regard for its obligations on the part of Congress ; but most assuredly the states men of the .revolution were disposed to pay as far as they could. We must recollect that by the terms of the articles of confederation. Congress had no power to impose taxes without the con sent of the States ; that the Government had no income from tariff duties, and with an ar my of thirty or forty thousand men desperate exertions were necessary to keep the wheels in motion. Soldiers, however much as we may praise their patriotism, looked-careful ly to their pay, and Washington, in his let ters to Congress, more than once plainly in timated that appeals to love of country did little good unless they were fortified with metallic arguments. It has been estimat ed that the loss occasioned by the depreci ation of his continental currency only amoun , ted to a tax of about one dollar .per head upon each inhabitant, annually for six years. If it had been thus equally distributed it would probably have been no more than they should have paid towards the expen ses of the war ; hut that some should have been involved in financial ruin from its ef (ems, while others were comparatively free made if unequal and oppressive in its oper on . — N.
