And trade through all our cities Was staggered by the blow, And down, with its torn banner, rail The nation's credit low. In the market and the warehouse, The pulpit and the press, In the parlor and the highways, WAS seen the sore distress. Good mon beyond the ocean, The poor of every soil, And the negro, like a culprit, Chained to his daily toll, Toit, oach, the dire disaster— Tuard, each, a darker hour 4\t; Vettred, a.l, this cursed prestige Of fell barbaric power. iy Now many a brave heart trembled; \'• Many a weak ono Filched: Many a prayer was offered up To turn the battle'e tide; Will cur God forsalie ills children, And turn away Ills face Will the cause of troth en under, And crime usurp Its place! Will the fields of RO much glbry, WIII all the martyrs skid, Will our history and altars And all our hopes be Vail] f Ohl for a sign in heaven, Such as the Kaiser saw— Ohl for some gifted hero, ZiLidconq:uoring stvo'd to draw I Eo some doubted and debated, And marveled and deplored— 'tVilb unas erring faith some waited The justice of the Lord. Soon, brighter than the morning fire If stately stuns aro seen— Chariots, b:azing with Ills ire, Amongst the clouds careen I NbIT i GRANT girds nn his armor, And leads his legions ti.ortli— For In tho fray that awn. today Jehovah's with aro North I And he bide his trusty captains, That at the rigoai peal, Their milks shall scale, through iron hall, The mountain sides ttith The eoltimns, swiftly :ormed in line, Move geily o'er the Held, As If they know the Itou.thty foe le sure, to Illy or 3 kid.

And when they gain the crested ridge The clouds beneath them lie, And down afar it seems a war Of dumclhe in the cloy. Round them rolls the sulphrous smoke That follows ball and bomb, While thunders boutn,'es lithe doom Of all the earth bad come.

TRANSLATED FROM TILE FRENCH OF VOLTAIRE BY E. E. H. Livonia, the most beautiful and fertile province of the north, had heretofore be longed to the chevaliers of the Teutonic order: The Russians, Poles and Swedes bad disputed its possession. Sweden had held possession of it, for nearly a hundred years, and it was at last solemnly ceded to her by the peace of Oliva. The late king Charles XI, in his severities toward his subjects, had not spared the Li vonians ; he had deprived them of their privileges, and of a pert of their patrimony. Patkul,un• happily celebrated afterwards by his trag ic death, was deputed by the Livonian nobility to carry to the throne the com plaints of the provinoe ; he made to hie chief a respectful speech, but brave and full of that manly eloquence which brings calamity when it is joined to boldness.— But kings too often regard these public speeches only as vain ceremonies, which it is the custom to endure without paying them any attention. Charles XI, dissimulated, when he would not abandon himself to the trans ef his rage, struck gently on the boulder of Patkal : "Yini have spoken 'or your country brave man," saki he to im : "I honor you for it, continue."— Jut, a fei; days afterwards he was de dared guilty of high treason, and as such, .ondemned to !leath. , Putkul, who had concealed himself, took . to fiight - ; ho car ried into Poland hie resentments. lie was \l s afterwarde drirtied into the presence of •ki t , ustus when Charles XI- was dead j'but the sontenele 'of Patkul and his • • indignation" still remained.

EHEEM & WEASLEY, Editors & Proprietors I Peter Aleziowitz, Czar of Russia -had already rendered himself redoubtable by the battle he had gained over the Tullis in 1697, and by the capture of Azof, which opened to him the Empire of the Black Sea; but it was by more wonder ful actions than victories, -that he sought fur the name of Great. Muscovy or Russia, embraces the north ern part of Asia and of Europe, and from the frontiers of China it extends over a space of fifteen hundred leagues, to the confines of Poland and Sweden. But this immense country was hardly known in Europe before the time of the Czar Peter. The M uscovities, were less civilized than the Mexicans when they were dis covered by ?,'ortez ; born all of them slaves of masters as barbarous as themselves, they remained in ignorance of all the arts, and in that insensibilitly which snioth ers all industry. An ancient law, sacred among them, forbade them leaving their own country without the permission of their patriarch. This law, made to de. prive them of opportunities of knowing their bondage, was pleasing to a nation which, in the depth of its ignorance and misery, disdained al commerce with for- eign nations. The era of the Muscovites began with t i he creation of t & world ; they count 1207 years to the beginning of the last cen tury, without assigning any reason for this date. The first day of their year comes on the thirteenth of ourinonth of September. They alleg,e as a reason for this, that it was probable God Created the world in Autumn, in the season-when the fruits'of the earth arc in their maturity Thus the only appearances of knowledge whieh they had, were gross errors. No one among them doubted that the Au. tumn of Muscovy could be the spring of another country in an opposite climate They wete even ignorant of use of figures; they used small balls, threaded on an iron wile; there was no other method of count ing, in all their receiving offices, and hi the treasury of the Czar. Their religion was, and is still, that of the Christian Greeks, but it is intermingled with su perstitions, to which they were as much more strongly attached as they were ex .travagant, anti as their yoke constraining. Few of the Muscovities dared to eat a pigeon, because the tidy Spirit was pie tured in the form of a dove. They served regularly four Lents in the year, and in the times of abstinence they cold nut nourish themselves Witiei=r' - e r Vitor hod and Saint ;INlSchlas were the Objects of their worship, and immediate ly alter them, the Czarand the patriarch The authority of the latter was as bound- less as their ignorance; ho pronounced sentences of death, and inflicted the most cruel punishments, without baying any appeal from his tribunal. lie rode on horseback twice a year, followed by all his clergy in ceremony; and the people pros trated themselves in the streets, as the Turks do before their Grand Lania. Cou- fession was practised, but onlyin the case of the greatest _crimes then absolution seemed to them to be necessary, but not repentance. They believed themselves pure before God with the benediction of their "papas." Thus they passed with- out remorse from the confe:_4sietal to Old and homicide; and that which lo ether ohristians is a restraint, was to them an encouragement to sin. They are ecru pulous against drinking milk during the fast; but the heads of families, the priests, the women and the girls intoxicate them. selves with brandy curing the whole fes tival. They dispute however concerning their religion, as in other countries ;'their greatest dispute was whether or not, the laymen should make the sign of the cross with two, or with three fingers. A cer tain Jacob Nursuff, under the preceding reign had excited a sedition in Astracen. on the subject of this same dispute. The . Czar, in his vast empire had many other subjects who were not , Christians. The Tartars who inhabited the western coast of the Caspitin sea, and of the Sea of Azoff, were Mahometans ; the Sib— erians, the Ostiagues, the Samoiedes, who were in the direction of-tile — Frozen Soa, were savages„of- -- Cln some were idolat ed and others bad not even the knowl a-, ge of a God. and indeed the Swedes, taken among them as prisoners,. were more contented with . their manners than with these of the ancient Muscovites. Peter Aleziowitz had received an ed. ncation which tended to increase the bar barity of this part of the world His natu reqn ado- hlrn-love.strangera before ho knew how far they could be of any use to him. Lo Fnit, as has already been was the . vjneipal instrument he used, in after days, to, ohange the face of Muscovy.

Arriving at Amsterdam, he wrote Its name in the list of the carpenters of the admiralty of the Indies, and worked in the dock-yard just as the other carpenters did. During the intervals of his labor, ho learned those branches of mathematics which would be useful for a prince -fortifications, naviga tion and the art of forming plans. He entered the shops of the workmen, exam ined all their manufactures and allowed nothing to escapehis observation. From thence he went to England, where he perfected himself in the science of con structing vessels, be returned to Holland and saw every thing which he could turn to the advantage of his country. At last after two years of travels and voyages, he repaired to Russia, taking with him the arts of Europe. Artisansof all kinds fol lowed him there in a crowd. Then could be seen for the first time, large Russian vessels on the -Black Sea, in the Baltic, and on the Ocean. Buildings of regular and noble architecture were erected in the midst of Muscovite huts. He estab I ished colleges, acadarnics, printing hen-os and libraries ; the cities were policed, the garments and costumes were changed :gradually, although wiz!) difficulty, and the Musouvites learned by degrees what society was Their superstitions even, were abolished ; the dignity of the patri ar.;lt was extinct; the Czar declared hito self the head of their religion ; and this last undertaking, which would have cost a less absolute r%iler, his throne and head, succeeded almost without oppos'!i‹, and assured him the success of all his other new measures. Aftey2, having abased an ignorant and barbarous clergy, he dared endeavor to instruct it, and by this even, he risked making it formidable,. But he believed himself too- powerful to fear this. He had made them teach philosophy and theoloz,y in the few cloisters which remained, but 'it is true that'this theology had tinge of the savage times in which Peter had left his country. A man, worthy of belief, assured me that he had assisted at a pub lic. discussion, where the question' was whether smoking tobacco' was a sin.

The Czar had not only subjected the church to the state, for an example to the Turkish Sultans, but, much more politic, ho had destroyed R militia similar to, that of the janissarics: and that which the Ottomans attempted in vain to do, he ac complished in a short time Ile dispers• od tho Muscovite janissariesealled "strel itz" who held the Czars in tutelage. This militia, more formidable to its masters than to its neighbors, was coin posed of about thirty thousand infantry, the half of whom remained at Moscow, and the rest were scattered along the frontiers. A strclitz had only four "rou• bles" a year as pay, but the privileges, or their abuses of thorn, amply compensated for it.

'An ex cellent captain of a vessel, an able Pilot, a gdod Sailor, an adroit carpenter, he was much more estimable in these arts be. cause ho was born with an extreme fear of water. When young, he could not pass over a bridge without trembling; he had to have his carriage windows closed. Courage and genius conquered, in him, this mechanical defect. He built a beautiful port near Azope, at the mouth of the Tana's; he wished to keep galleys there ; and in the course of time, believing that these long flat and light vessels would do well in the Baltic Sea, he built more than three hundred of them iti his favorite city of Petersburg. The finances of the Czar were in fact of little account in proportion to the im mensity of his states.

Frequent re cruiting: for wars, a long time unfortu nate, na' ions transplanted from the shores of the Caspian Sea to these of the Baltic consumed in their labors, destroyed by maladies, three fourths of the - children dying in Muscovy, of the sundl-pox, more dangerous in this climate than in any . other, and the last the calamitous issues of a nation so long a time savage and barbarous even in its civilization, are the causes why this large part of the conti nent lids- yet such vast deserts. There were in Russia, in theyt:ar 1727 five hun dred thousand families of gentlemen, ten hundred thousand lawyers, a little more than five millions of citizens and peas ants, paying aspecies of tax, six hundred thousand in the provinces conquered un der the Swedes the Cossacks of Ukraine, the Tartars, vessels of Muscoiy did not amounts to more than two•millions.

He has built the port of con stradt on the Neva, St. Croix on the frontiers of Persia admiralties at Astra can and Azoph, arsenals and hospitals. He made all his houses small and vi , :th bad taste, but he lavished magnificence and grandeur on his public edifices:— He has compelled the young nobility of his country to travel, to instruct them selves, and-to — bring back to Russia, fbr- eigrimanners. I hive seen young Rus- signs full of spirit'and knowledge. 'Tis thus that one man has changed th-,;.'great, Nit Empire of the world. Itis shocking that this reformer lacked humap.it7,' the greatest virtue of mankind. Brutality in his pleasures, ferocity in his manners, barbarity in his rovenges, blending with so many virtues Se polished his states, and was himself a savage. He had with his own hands been the executor of his sentences on criminals and in a debauch at a table he showed his adroitness io cutting off heads. There were riders in Africa who poured out the blocid of their subjects with their own hands, but these monarchs were con". sidered as barbarians.
