Now, though all this must ap pear to us Americans extremely absurd and yet, when we consider that it comes from a man who is understood to influence the cabinets of the Holy Aliance, the folly assumes a graver aspect, because we know that weak and wicked princes, and even those of a better stamp, are sometimes governed by weak and wicked ministers and that, when wicked-riess is combined with ability, the danger increases four fold.

August 19, 1S24; IT A tTIV I When some of ourl public writers stated it as their, oniri ion that-the, members; of the Holy Alliance "did riot confine their views of subjugation to the South American Republics; con templated an extensi On' of tneir paternal, em brace.s to tne United States it was consider ed, we believe, by most men, and by ourselves among the number as a' "chimera, arising either from a too easy admission of fear, or the supposition that these Holy brethren were really more absurd in "their notions of things" than could well be con- cei vedby ordinary capacities. It was not, we thought, to be gravely maintained, that such a measure could' for a rhoment.be contemplated by eveh an ultra rovalist of the highest and warmest cast, much less' by a man represented as the ablest and most influential statesman of all the diplomatic corpscohnected with the. Holy. AjHahce We Have now, howev0r to acknowl-eHgef our mistake- JwKilst we communicate to the readers of the Federal Gazette what will, we imagine, not a little surprise them, pamely'thajt mo less a personage than Pozzo Pi Borgo, the Ambassador from Russia to France, the paramount minister of the Holy Alliance whd is su posed to direct tbe attention of the Allied Sovereigns as he. would the babies of his will, land to have wielded the destinies of European Continent since the sun set on the fortunes of Na-, poleon, actually advised an open attack by arms oh the indepeh-f derice.aad liberties of the United States of America.

We copy the following editorial article on this subject: From the London Morn. Chronicle. The extravagance of the Russian or high Ultra party: in France, would hardly be credit ed in this' country. Would Jt be believed that M. Pozzo di its oracle in Paris, in a rqembir addressed to his Court the importance 01 re placing South, America under the dominion 01 spain, aciuany allowed nis zeai against weeny to carry Jiim so far gravely to propose the subjugation of the United States of North America.

5 "Founded, he, said, on the sovereignty of the People, the Republic of the United States of America was a fire, of which the daily contact with Europe threatened the latter with conflagration; that this state, an asylum for all innovators, gave them the means of disseminating at a distance by their writings, and by the authority of their example, a poison. of which jthe communication could not? be questioned, as it was well-known that the French fiad "its origin in the United States; that already troublesome effects were felt in Europe 1 from the presence of French refugees in America, and more particularly in France, that the administration of that kingdon was obliged ot bend before the revolutionary spirit; and that a prompt regression ofdemocraticial principles coul alone prevent the irruption of an evil Already so grave iri its source." After a variety of cdnsiderations pf the same sort, the Russian Ambassador proceeded to observe, "That the conquest of the United States of America was an easy enterprise that their submission to a mode of government more in harmony witli that of the other civilized States of the world, would be attended! with little inconvenience in if ,1.
