THE EMPEROR ALEXANDER.
‘-The following short view of the life and po-
litical cliai'acler0fAle)§&mllCl' is from the

London ./Vew Times.

ALExANy)gn was the eldest son of Paul II.
by his second wife. He was born Dec. 922d,
1777 and married to Eltzirbetli, Princess til

9 . . , ,
Baden, October 0th, 1793. The care of his
Feducaiiuii was ‘committed to M. de la Idarpe,
a Swiss Colotiel, who neglt.-cted nothing _to
{,1 ms pupil for the high station he was destin-
erl to fill. He was proclaimed Emperor, 24th
Marcli, 1801, and crowned at Moscriiv the
27th of the following September. His first
care was to prit an end to the war wlitcli then
it-aged between Russia and England ; and he
,-0,. some length_ol'tinie preserved peace both
with England and Fl"¢illC€,'al‘!tl vainly endeav-
bred to act as mediator between them, after
the terininzition ofthe short peace of Aniiens.
In l80_4, ho_nr-yer, the murder of the_Duke
D’Eugli_i'eti by Buonaparte, excited the iiitlrg
nation ofthe Emperor, who, after presenting
'_ai'i cii'et-getic retnotistrance by his Ahiliassadoi‘
‘against “ a violation of the law of iiationsas
arbitrary as it was public,” withdrew his Miri-
isier fyplll a.'is, and in l80_5 si.gned_a trcaty
or alliance, offensive and delensiye,witli hug-
land, Austria, and Sweden; acting on which
Alexander lrttstcned td lead his troops itito
.-*Austria, where, however, he arrived uiily in

 

time to see the capital fall into the hands of

the French. He then retreated together with
the renniantof the Austrian army, to Berlin,
where he resolved to await the French army;
but on the defeat oftbe Atistriaiis, at the bat-
tle of Austeilitz, he returned to St. Peters-
burg, leaving a greater partof his army on
the frontiers of Geruiany. In 1800, being
called upon by the court of Berlin, he again
took up arms, but was agaiii only in time to
rtiti-iess the triumph of Buon.-iparte. In the
-.‘-pring of 1807 Alexander joined his army,
-whicli ltad retreatetl beyond the Vistula, and
withstood the Fteiicli with great braverv ; but
"having been defeated in the battle of Fricti-
land, he retreated beyond the Nietncii, where
he agreed to the preliminaries of the peace
signed at Tislit, July 8,1807. In consequence
as is believed ofa secret article in that treaty,
he declared w.ir against Etiglaiitl, and soon
afterii-ai'ds against Swedcii, which latter war
lasted two years, and ended in Stveden’s ced-
ing Finland to Rtissiaa During the hostilities
which still subsistcd between France and
England,lie continued to side with the former
potter, and dismissed from his dominions all
the Cierinaii ministers and agents. But the
time was arrived when he was to see how ill
judged his frieiitlsliip had been ; and he was
forced to defend liitnselfin his own dominioiis
with no other ally than Englaiid,-against Buo-
nap;irte,wlio led 560,000 choice troops against
him joined with those kings who had forrncr-
ly been his allies, and whom he formerly as-
sisted. Tire Russians, however, on their evac-
uation of Moscow, by burning that city, de-
 royetl the only means of siibsisteiice the
I: tench could expect during the winter; and
thence followed the destruction of that vast
army. The Eniperoi Alexander now seeined
animated with a spirit of iweiigeatice against
the perfidious invader of the Russian doinin
ions. He pursued liirii with tiurelenting vigor;
he even published a t.lBSCl‘lpli0ti of his person
as if he had been a cotiiinou felon. However,
Buoiiaparte escaped in a single sledge, leav-
ing his gallant army to perish in the snow ;—

and so infatuated were the French, that they‘

actually sulfered liirii to levy new armies, and
lead them into Germany in 1813. By this
time, however, the scene had wholly changed.
On March 13, Alexander and the King of
Prussia pl'UCIi1IlIN‘.3(I the dissolution ofthe con-
fedcracy oftlie Rlnne, and declared their iii-
teniion ofassistingtlicAustrians. After having
bcen worsted at the battles of Lutzen and
Bauizen, they agreed to air artnistice ; during
which the Russians were joined by General
l‘rIoi'eiiu, who, however, soon fell liy a random
shot before Dresden. After various success
the great battle of Lt-ipsic was fought, Oct.
16th, 17th, atid ltlth, which completed the
dcliveraiice of Gertnany. In the beginning
of H314 the allied moii,arclis crossed tlieRninr-..
On the 30th of March the allied army beseig-
ed Paris, and forced it to capitnlate; aiirl on
the 51st the Emperor Alexander and the king
of Prussia entered it amid cries of Vice le
Itoi .’— Vivent (es Bourbons! and Buonaparte
soon signed his first abdication. Oil the lurid-
ing ofL0uis XVIII. Alexander h.istened to
meet liitn and conducted him to Paris, which
he enteretl May 4. A treaty of peace was
signed at Paris May 80, 1814, and Alexander
left France June 1, for London, where he
was magnificently entertained by the Prince
Regciit at Guildhall. He returned to St.Pe—
ieisburg July 25. Orr Sept. 25, he entered
Vienna, where he remained until the end of
Oct. 'l‘he l'al.lllC'.ll.l0ll of the acts oftlie (Jon-
gross had been signed Feb. 9, 181.’). When
the escape of Buonaparte from Elba chaiiged
the apparent security of Europe into coiifti

sion ; great preparations had been made by
the Russians, when the news oftlie battle of
Alex-

ander hiinselfset out for Paris where he arri-

.vcd 3 days alter the entry of Louis XVIII.-—

Froni thence he proceeded to Brussels to view
the field of Waterloo ; and after a short stay,
returned to St. Pctersburg, which he entered
amid universal acclatiiations. From that time
till his cleatli, his policy was purely pacific:
he attended several tiongresses, and was al-
most incessantly moving frotii one part of ill:
Lfoiitiiieiit to the other; but though his force
waslarge, and therewcre not wanting at dif-
ferent times, prctexts which a warlike Prince
tnight have seized for hostilities, particularly
‘.-Lgitillbl Turltey, yet he has teriinnatcd his
z-iioital career, without any deviation frotii
the peaceful principles agreed ttpon by all the
great Powers since the last great tiiuuipli ol
‘.815.-
CONS'I‘AN'I_.-‘INE.

The New Times givcs the following briel
notice of L-Jonstatrtine.

Cti:ts'r.~.~.\"i‘iNi-: was born in 1779. His
granttuiotliei, the Empress Catlieiinc, caused
lniii to be so nanied-4 with refereiiee to her
views on (-Jorrsta-ntiuople, and in his youth
she caused a medal to be struck with the 1...
SCl'l}'JI‘l0ll,., “UO1)SlatllI|l€,-K-lllg oftlie Greclts.”
He was of an It-npettious disposition, and eat‘-
ly showed at tlispositioii for tiriiis. He served
under Snwarrow in the canip-aigii of H09,
against Fraiice, and meant to have joined the
Austrian army, under the Aftlllflllltc Charlies
in 1800, but the dcleat of the Russiatis in
iviizcrltttid occasioiietl lli3~rt':l.uni to St. Pc-

' t'c'rslstirg. In T802 he paid a visit to Viefiflili

where the Etnperor of Austria gave him ill?
lioriorary coiiiinand of a Huss-.ir Regiment,—-
Iii 1805 he took the command of a Russian
corps, destinedto act against France, 53 IOQI‘
part at the head of his regiment ofGuardS In
the tinfortuiiate battle of Austerlitz. He fol-
lowed his brother, the Emperor, in the carti-
paign ofl8l2..l8l.‘3, and 1814, and entered
‘with him the city ofParis, btit did not accom-

pany birn to Loudoii. He first went to Ros.-
sia, and then to the Congress ofVtenna. Al-
ter the second tlepositioii of Bonaparte, Con-
statitine was tirade Viceroy of Poland. _ This
.I’rinee hits not been very fortunate in his ma-
trimonial connectiotis. He was marrie_d at
the early age of l7 to the Princess Julia of
Saxe-Cnbin-g, from whom he tvps divorced in
April, l8:"Zl), for the purpose ofmarrying the
PriiicessofLowicz; but this lady not being
of Royal extraction, a decree was issued by
the Emperor Alexander, with assent of the
Senate, assigning the siiccession to the throne
to the Archduke Nicholas.

It is argued by a journal which delights in
exciting alarms that there will be zi struggle
for the Ciowii between Constantine and
Nicholas, and that iftlie former succeeds he
iiill plunge Europe into hostilities by his ain-
bitious and warlike propensities. Oti the
question ofthe succession we offer no opinion;
though we see the French Journals regard it
as certain that Constantine has ascended the
throne. 'Whether he, or his brother, has done
so,or whether there will be a civil war in Rus.
sia to decide their adverse claims, we do not
pretend to dete‘rmine ; but in either case we
conceive that the late event is rather favora-
ble than tinpropitlotis to external peace. The
deceased Etnperor might possibly have been
led into war by the cliaracterislic eagerness of
his disposition in pursriit of objects which ap-
peared to liiiirspleirdid or important ; but the
.\lonarch, whoever he is, will hardly feel him-
self strong eiioiiali to attempt to distrirb the
tranqnili ty of Europe. Undoubtedly the
Archduke Constantine in his younger days
had many faults; but want of all'cction for
his brother Alexander was not among them.
He has become tiiore tloriiestic, and ofcotirse
less violcnt,since his iiiarriage with a lady.
who, though a subject, and not even of the
_/irsl order of Polish nobilitv, unites the real
dignity ofa Princess, with cultivated talents
and an excclleritjiidgmeiit. If Coiistiiutine
iistends the Tlirone. Russia will perhaps one
much to the influence which this lady has
exercised, and will contiutie to exercise, over
the ali't-ctioiis oflier lrtisbaiitl.

PERKINS’ STEAM GUN.

The success ofonr countryinan Perkins ap-
pears no longer to admit ofa doubt. Below
will be found an account of an experiment
tnade by the inventor oftlie trernendoiis pow
er of steain in an engine ofhis own miniiifac-
hire. The greatest difficulty which Mr. Per-
kins has contended with, but has now over-
come, was the formation ofa generator of
sufficient strength. ‘This obstruction obvia-
ted, there appears to be no longer any ques-
tion as to its complete success, and Mr. Per-
kins in one po_iiit of view, may be considered
a benefactor to tntrnkind. An end iiitist norv
be put to sieges of towns; for what possibility
is there of approaching a place defended by a
machine which would destroy every thing
witliiti its reach in a niouieut. Too cum-
brons for transportation with an artny, as a
nieans ofattaclt, it must remain forever a per-
fect security froin invasion. Should the in-
veiiiioii prove applicable to the propulsion of
vessels, navigatiuii on the ocean will also un-
dergo an entire change; in a ivord, the ut-
most reacli ofspeculatiou asto the application
oftliis power, can hardly be considered ex-
ti'avagtiul.—Et.‘e. P031.

Loxoow, Dec. It.

The iieiglibourliootl of Mr. Perltins’s safety
sternii engine inanufactory, near the Regen:’s
Park, was on Tuesday tlnowii into great CUN-
sternation by suine trerueridoiis reports, aris-
ing from the discharge of his szeam gtiu.—-
Siuce ti fatal accident, which occurred several
rnontlis ago, where a lady threw herselffiuin
a gig in consequence, as it was at the time
incorrectly stipposed, of her horse having ta-
ken fright at the prodigious noise tirade by the
steaiii gun, that terrific engine of destruction
had not been pertiiitted to be dischrrrged by
the iiidividrials belonging to Mr. Perkins’s
concern. On Tuesday inorning, however,
soon after erghto’cloclt, patrols were observed
stationed on all the roads leading towards the
inaniiftictory, accompanied by men with pla-
cnrds oti boards, warning all passetigers on
liorsebaclt or in carriages to go through the
R.egent’s Park, instead ofproceeding by the
high road leading in front ofthe niaiiufactory.
Soon after nine, numbers of military officers,
in carriages and on liorsebaclt, alighted at the
iuannfactory. They were soon followed by
the Duke of Wellington, and ininietliately all’
terwards the discliarge of steam, which had
been previously occasional and of compara-
tively slight force, cotiiiiieiiced with a con-
tintied roar, resembling the loudest thunder
rve have ever heard. The group of eminent
persons then asseinbled, consisted ofhis grace
the Master-General oftlie Ordnsince, and his
Staff; the Minqttis of S.ili.~biiry, Mr. Peel,
Sir Ii. Harilinge, Lord Fitzroy Soinetset, the
Judge Advocate General, and many inilitziry
officers ofthe liigliest rank ; together with a
cnminittee ofEnginet:r and Artillery oflicers,
who, it appeared had been officially appoint-
ed by the Duke of Wellington to examine into
the merits of this wonderful specimen of hu-
man ingenuity and destructive power. The
.-liscliaiges ofstearn now became almost iti-
cessant for two hours, during which, its incid-
culable force and astonishing rapidity in dis-
cliarging balls excited ainazeuicnt and admi-
ration in all present. At first the balls were
discharged at short intervals, in iinitatiou of
artillery firing, against an iron target, at the
rlistaiice ofthirty-five yards. Such was the
force with which they were driven, that the_v
were completely shattered to atoms. In the
next experitiicnt the balls were discharged at
a frame of wood, and they actually passed

‘through eleven one-inch planks ofthe hardest

deal, placed at the distance ofan inch frorii
each other. A~fterwardsthey were propelled
against an iron plate one-fourth of an inch
thick, aiid at the very li-rst trial the hall passed
tlirough it. On all hands this was declared
to be tlieitttiiost effort of force that gunpow-
der could ex-ci=t'.- Indeed we utid-ei'stantl that
this plate liad- been brought specially from
Woolwiclr, for the purpose of ascertaining-t-lie
coii.p.n'ative force of steani and’ gunpowder.
The pressure ofsteam employed to elfect this

.
-:

'worrde'r_fiil force, we learnt, on ~'eiit‘iuiry‘. did

not- at first exceed '65.atniospl_ie'ré$,.‘or» 900 lbs.
to the square inch ; iindait was repeatedly sta-
ted by Mr. Perkins that the pressure might be
carried even to 200 atmospheres Willi perfect
safety. Mr. Perkins then proceeded to dem-
onstrate the rapidity with which tiiusket balls
might be projected by its ag8fl°Y- T0 9Ir_e°‘
this be screwed on to the gun barrel :1 tube
filled with balls, which falling down by. their
own gravity into the barrel, were projected
one by one, with such extraordinary velocity
as to demonstrate that, by tneans ofa succes-
sion of tubes, filled with balls, fixed in a
wheel (a titodel ofwliicli was exhibited.) 0631‘-
|_v one thousand balls per minute might be
discharged. In subsequent discharges or vol-
leys, the barrc-.l,ro which is attached a move-
able joint, was given a lateral direction, and
the balls perforated a plank nearly 12 feet in
length. Thus, ifnpposed to a regiment in
liiie,the steam gun tiiiglit be made to act frotn
one of its extretiiities to the other. A similar
plank was afterwards placed in a perpendicti-
lar position, and in like mantier, there was a
stream ofshot-holes from the top to the bot-
tom. It is thus proved that the steam gun has
not only the force of gunpowder, but_also ad.
initsof any direction being given_t0 it. But
wltat seemed to create tnost surprise was the
effect ofa volley of balls discharged against
the brick wallby the side of the target. ‘They
absolutely dug a hole ofconsiderable dimen-
~ions in the wall, anti penetrated almost orie-
lialftlirotigii its thickness. VVe heard several
oflicers declare their belief, that,had the balls
been made ofiroii instead oflead, they would
have actually made a breach through it—the
wall was 18 inches thick.

ENGLISH RAIL ROADS.
While on it visit at LEEDS, in England, Mr.

Carter, editor of the N. Y. Statesiiiaii, had

an opportunity of witnessing the practica-

bility aiid utility of Rail Roads uni Steam

C'arn'agc-s, which he thus describes:

“ As we were anxious to wituew the opera-
tion of steam-carriages upon rail-roads, a
friend walked with us it mile from town, ex-
posed to the oppressive heat ofa mid-day sun,
where otir curiosity was fully gratified. After
waiting an hour, we had the satisfaction‘ to see
‘~15 wagons, containing three totis of coal
each, impelled, or rather drawn along it hori-
zontal rail-road, by a steam-engine possessing
a six horse power. It was a novel and inter-
esting spectacle. The steam carriage is pla-
ced in front aiitl the whole apparatus is not
rriucli larger than an ordinary Jersey wagon.
'l‘o this the i-.-.-r=.iity-five four-wheeled cars are
iippencled by chains, and follow in obedietice
to the self-tiioving power. One man, whose
services are required to regulate the inzichin-
ery, is the sole navigator, and even he has
little to do. When the boiler is exhausted he
has only to throw the engine out ofgear, stop
by the road side, and putiip in a supply. liti-
pelled by curiosity we nioniited one of the
cars and rode ti considerable distance. The
ordinary progress is four miles the liotir, but
ofcoriise may be greatly accelerated if ne-
cessary. -

“ There are several engines upon this rail-
way, which ply regularly between extensive
colleries and the town, a distance ofthree Or
four miles. It is odd enough to see the smoke
arising, like that ofa steam boat,and the cars
inoviug about at a distance, with no visible a-
gent to move or govern them. The experi-
merit has here been fairly and successfully
tried, and I see no reason why transport-.ition
by steam IS not as practicable upon latitl as
upon water. The great desideratuiii seems to
tiave been a guiding power, and that is effec-
tually provided by the construction of the
rail-way, which confines the carriage to it
given track. lsliould feel the some degree
of security in one of these vehicles as in a
a steam boat. since the carriage is at a dis-_
tance from the boiler.”

flmerican skill in Manttfacturcs.
After exziiiiiniug with particular attention
all the departments in some of the principal

“ I saw very few instatrces of skill, which
are not equally possessed by our cotintryiiien.
So far as my observation has extended, tiiost
oftlie useful arts have arrived to as great per-
fection in the United States as in Great Brit
ain, while in inanipulation and activity, our
workmen may claitii a decided superiority.-
’ here is an energy in the American charac-
ter not found in the workshops of _Europe.——
It would be fully in me to pretend to judge
with accuracy ofthe products of the loorii;
brit in my estimation, sotiie of our own fabrics
are equal in quality to the fittest I have seen
in Leeds, which now rival those in the West
of England.”

The automaton Cliess-player.--Yesterday
in the ship Howard from Havre, arr. among
the passengers, Mr. Maelzal, bringing with
him the long known, btit not yet discovered,
chess player, which has so long puzzled and
surprised all Europe. Mr. lilaelzal says that
the automaton has played with the most skil-
ful players to be found in England, France
and Geruiany, and has only lost 5 games in
400. It will be exhibited publicly in a few
days, of which we presume due notice will be
given. It is considered the greatest piece ol
inechanisin that the human mind has ever
lllVeIllC‘(‘l, and has hitherto baffled every at-
tempt to discover by what secret springs its
tnovenients are directed. It appears 10 the
spectator to be guided by an uncontrolled free
will, standing intirely insulated, $1. not having
any apparent cotiiiexinri with any liviirg being.

COLOMBIAN BRAVERY.
Extract from a letter from Gibraltar, Nov.
9.0, t825.——" Au affair took place within sight
of this garrison yesterday, wlirch has excited
the greatest coiisteiiiatioii among the Spanish
nitztcliauts both here and at Malaga and Ca-
diz. A Colombian privateer hermaphrodite
brig, the Soublette, Capt.Cunniiigliam, on
the 19th itist. weighed at-iclior and stood otit
to sea with a slight breeze, witid N. E. and
shortly afterwards fell in with a Spanish con-
voy proceeding from Cadiz to Malaga, con-
sisting offi brigs of war, and 9. smaller vessels
under ordeisofa Commodore, all under loose
sail; The iiiotneiit the privateer was discov-

inight, by his superior sail-ing, cut off part or
the convoy‘. The brig. soon came within gun-

shot, and discharged at broadside ; the priva-

Woolleii Factories at Leeds, l\lr.Carter says : r

ered, a brig of 9.9 guns was dispatched either :
to take the privateer or drive him off, lest he 1

leer stood upon the other ta.clt,_'and cattle GWSF5

to aiitl met the brig with a heavy discharge of

grape shot and inusketry ; the Spanish Vessel

thus engaged, not being_ satisfietl with Such

close ‘quarters, fired only two rounds,and then

made all possible sail for the squadron. ‘The
privateer not being intirnidated by suberlm

force,-p"n'r'si'ied the brig, and in one hour after-
wards found himself in close action with the
Co_tniiiodore‘s squadron. He fought the three
brigs for two hours, and he states that if part
of his crew had not shewn symptoms of cow-
ardice and iiititiny, he should have succeeded,
after having nearly disinasted the Commo-
dore’s vessel, in bringing her a prize into Gib-'
raltar. When he discovered the spirit of his
crew, he was obliged to extricate himself in
the best way he could from such a perilous
situation; however, he soon effected his es-
cape, and got back to Gibraltar, with the loss
of an arm, which was caused by a splinter,
and, with the exception of this misfortune,
neither the crew nor vessel suffered the least
injury. On the privateer’s return to the Bay
of Gibraltar, ii guard-i costa stationed at Al-
gesiras,seeing what was going oti, and suppo-
sing the privateer to be disabled and. pursued
by superior force, tirade an attempt to inter-
cept him. The brave Captain Cunningham
perceiving this turned rotiiitl upon the Spati-
iards, which threw them into such confusion,
that in the anxiety to effect their escape, they
actually discharged at gun, while two unfortu-
nate fellows were standing before it,wlto were
soon sent itito the next world. However,had
the Spanish vessel not run aground near the
batteries of Algesiras, the privateer would
have taken her.”
