Szr-—In answerto your letter containing an en-
umeration of the articles composing your snuff,
together with a sample ofit, I would remark, that
although I have found no reason for changing my
well known opinion of the pernicious effects of
the inordinate use of tobacco, in any form, Inev-
ertheless cannot perceive the same objection to
yours. The articles are certainly innocent in
their qualities. Those liable to nervous and oth-
er head-aches well know that fits of these dis-
tressing affections, most commonly subside on a
spontaneous sneezing towards night, and if this
reliefcan be expedited by a sternutatory, I should
give the preference to your snuff over that of
powdered tobacco. or even the imported Cc/zlaalic
Smgfl, the ingredients of which are unknown to
us. VVith this view I have used your composi-
tion mysclf, and recommended it to others.

From the JV'atz'onal Intelligenccr.
OF THE NORTH OF EUROPE.
Interesting extracts from letters addressed by a
-gentleman on board of the United States Frig-
ate Guerriere, then in the North ‘of Eurofze, to
I22‘: friend, a Member of Congress.
PE'rx-:nsBUnGu,”Russia, Sept. 24, 1818.
I had the pleasure of writing you by the Hor-
net from Elsineur. We proceeded thence to
Copenhagen, and remained till Mr. Campbell
finished his business with the court of Denmark,
the principal part of which was this. The King
had asked‘ of our government the reason for not
maintaining’ a Minister at his court, which it
seems, has been deemed inexpedient on no oth-
er ground than that the intercourse between the
two governments was considered too unimpor-
tant to require it. It was, however, deemed ex-
pedient to make this explanation in as respectful
a manner as convenient: for which reason, Mr.
Campbell was directed to do it on his way to Pe-
tersburgh. He was graciously received by the
king and Mr. Rosencrantz, the prime minister,
and treated in a manner, I suspect, rather flatter-
‘? ing to his feelings. Our three days’ detention
here gave me a favorable opportunity to see this
capital ; but as it contains very few objects of in-
terest, a particular ‘description could not be ac-
ceptable. I can, however, say, that its magnitude
and splendor are about suitable for the capital of
Denmark. The principal objects of curiosity
are two or three very elegant equestrian statues
in bronze,and an observatory about 100 feet high,
connected with a church, to the top of which
leads a winding passage, so large and firmly
built that a horse and gig have been driven to the
summit and back with safety. The King's pal-
ace, unlike that of many monarchs, is reasonably
splendid--his gardens rather too expensive ; and
if. there be any thing very extravagant, it is that
of keeping in the city a hundred of the best
horses that can be procured in the kingdom,
merely to amuse himself with their prancing.-—
The king is, however, very popular with his sub-
jects, and attentive to theirinterest. His prime
minister, who has great influence over him is
possessed of superior talents.
Denmark, you know, was exceedingly redu-
ced by the continental wars-—-lost her navy, Ste. :
but she is gradually recovering, though it will be
many years before her navy will be re-built. As
may mention, thata captain in the army is allows‘
ed only 25 pound sterling, per annum, for pay
and subsistence. A
We anchored at Cronstadt about a week since,
and, after tarrying one night, I took passage with
Mr. Campbell in a steam boat for Petersburgb,
the distance being about 18 miles. The view of
this city is rather unfavorable to one whoop-
proaches it in this direction, in so much that I
felt quite disappointed till I had penetrated it
half a mile, when it began to wear a more impo-
sing appearance; and, when arrived at my lodg-
ings, I felt willing to repeat what many others
have said, that it was the most magnificent city
I have beheld, or ever expect to see.
Cnonsrnnr, Oct. 1, 1818.
After a visit of ten days I very reluctantly
took leave of Petersburgh. The appearance of
this city I have already told you, is magnificent
beyond any I expect to see again. That it
should wear so imposing; an aspect will ap-
pear less extraordinary, when it is consider-
ed, that no house is erected till the plan of it
is submitted to the examination of the emperor’:
council, who have power to make any alteration
in position and style that are calculated to render
it an ornament to the city. Hence, instead ofan
assemblage of various and incongruous tastes,
as is seen in other cities, you are here presented
that flows from the judicious taste oftwo or three
skilful individuals, selected by a monarch who
possesses the means and inclination to make it
the rival city of the world. As an instance of
his power and pride exercised upon it, I may
mention, that," preparatory to the reception of the
King of Prussia, inta late visit. be directed eve-
ry housc to be painted anew. Unfortunately for
us, the Emperor left this place for the European
Congress a week previous to our arrival. The
Empress and Empress (lowager being also ab-
sent, with many dignitarics of state, left the city
quite destitute of its usual display of military
parade, and other imperial. appendages ;'and,
it was only a week previous to his departure, that
the Emperor reviewed 40,000 of his best troops,
in presence of the king of Prussia-——a circum-
stance which made us still more regret our late
arrival." The Emperor is very popular, and, no
doubt, has the welfare of his subjects much at
heart, as is evidenced by the rapid strides of Rus-
sian freemen towards civilization and happiness.
Most of the Russians, however, still wear a very‘
degraded aspect, and seem entircly destitute of
education and moral integrity. I apply this to
the slaves-. who compose two-thirds of the popu-
lation. ‘And slaves they are in a three-fold de-
most servilcly,aucl yet so void of sentiment, that
their mechanical devotions give them the appear-
ance of mere automatons : to their masters, in a
more abjectdegree than the sable herds of our
southern lords—am1to their bcslial ajzjzetites, they
seem held in chains of adamant. The Empe-
ror, tberefore, has a wide field for the exercise
pears but just to have entered; and he may as
well attempt to bleach the Ethopiau’s skin,‘as to.
cure his subjects even of the single propensity
to drunkenness. ‘ ' .
This monarch seems to be ambitious of com-;
" manding the largest army, in which he is sue-
a mark of rigid economy in public expences, I ,
with the symmetry and uniform majesty of style‘
