The Character of the late Czar. -" "
In the recently' published ecocd volume of
Sir Archibald Alison's " History of .Europe"
(new eries,: we Jind the following" striking
portrait of the late Emperor of Russia : i
Xioholas 1. is the 'greatest sovereign that
Uusbia has kaijwn since Peter the Oreat ; in
some respects ho is greater than Peter himself.
.Not lcs energetic in character axul ardent ' in
improvement than his illustrious predecessor,
he is more thoroughly rational, and ' be has
brought the -nation forward more completely
in the path which nature had pointed out for
it. Peter was a Kussian only.in bis despo
tism . his violence, his cruelty, bis benificence,
his ardor for improvement, his patriotic am
bition were all borrowed from the states of
Western Europe As these were greatly fur
ther advanced in the career of civilization
.than his was, his reforms were in a great part
premature; his improvements abortive, his
refinements superficial, i. ' ' ' ; :
lie aimed at doing by imperial what sojnany
ardent men have endeavored to effect by Dem
ocratic despotism to ingraft on one nation the
institutions of another, and to reap from the
infancy of civilization the fruits of its matu
rity. 1 The attempt failed in bis bands, as it
has ever done in those of his republican imi
tators ; as it will do in those of their succes
sors, whether on the throne or in the tribune,
to the end of the world. ( His civilization was
all external merely ; it made a brilliant ap
pearance, but it did not. extend beueath .the.
surface, and left untouched the strength and
, itals of the State. ? He: flattered himself that
he had civilized Russia,' because he ruled by
a police which governed it1 by fear,' and an
army which retained it in subjection' bydis-r .
cipline. , .-" r''xV'''$ ?"'? i ? 1 1 .'ST; -
Nicholas, on the other hand, is essentially
Russian-in -all Ms ideas. '-'Iftf Is heart and
soul patriotic,' not merely in wish, but in spirit
and thought. JLIe wishes to improve and ele
vate his country,' and . be has done much ta
effect that noble object ; but be desires to do
so by developing, not changing the national
spirit, by making it become a first Russia, not
a second France or England.- ' He has adopted
the maxim f 31oatequie,' "tiat no nation
ever attained to teal greatness tut by institu
tions in conformity with its spirit. He is nei
ther led aWay by the thirst for sudden mechan
ical improvement, like Peter, nor the praises
of philosophers, hke Catherine, nor the visions
of inexperienced philanthropy, like Alexander.
. .He has not attempted to erect a capital in
a pestilential marsh,- and done so at the ex
pense of a hundred thousand lives ; nor has
he dreamt of mystical regeneration with a
visionary sybil, and made sovereigns put their
hands to a holy alliance from her influence.
He neither corresponds with French atheists,
nor English Democrats ; he despises the praises
of the first, he braves the hostility of the last.
His maxim is to take men as they are, .and
neither suppose them better nor worse.' J ne
is content to let tlyui grow up in a Russian
garb, animated with a Russian spirit, , and
moulded by Russian institutions, without the
aid either of Parisian communism or Brittsh
liberalism. ."si .i-n , mtt
i The improvements ha has effected iri'the
' government of his dominions have' been vast,
the triumphs with which his external policy,,
have been attended unbounded; but they have
allbepn 'achietpd, hot in imitation of, but in
oppositTon to. iho ideas of western, Europe-7-.They
hespcaktiot Jess than. his internal gov
ernment,: the national character of hia policv "
iui ii success. a me lest ot worldly ; wisdom,'
he has not been far wrong in his system, ' for
he has passed the Balkan,- heretofore imner-
vious to his predecessors i he' has, conquered
Poland, converted the Euxme iaW a Russian
lake, planted, the cross oalhe bastions, of Eri
van, and opened through subdued Hungary a '
path to Constantinople. . . -. ;; ; -. ,
Nature has given hlhi all the qualities' fitted
for such an elevated destiny. ; A lofty stature
and princely air give additional influence to a
majestic countenance, in which tho prevailing
character is resolution, yet not unmixed with
J? --e' Wclli0gton.,CW, : and

a faithful husband; and an effectionab father! :
he has exhibited in a brilliant -court, and when
Surrounded fcy every j temptation which -llTe
can offer, the simplicity And affections of patr

His virtues often border upouicts, :: His ex

Deeply impressed with the responsibility of
his situation, hw firmnesa has sometimes be

has often evinced a noble ."and . "magnanimous

and showing oblivion of injury even kindness,
to the relatives ' of those who had conspired
against hia throne and life ; but " toward? the
guilty themselves" he has, not, been equally
compassionate; t He has not .always let the
passiomof.the contest pass away with Raster-;
