In the work alluded to, M. attributes to me a violent character. He is the first who has attributed to me any such character (though others have not hesitated to repeat it) and I think he would be puzzled to find proof of the charge.

Before pronouncing on the acta and conduct of a man in office, it is necessary, if no injustice is intended, to pay some little tention to the time, the place, the circumstances, and the motifs which might induce the principal actor. Take from my administration of 1812 the incendiary torch with which Napoleon has thought proper to arm me, and there will be found a plan from which I have never departed, but which, on the contrary, I have executed with exemplary calmness and patience. Any other man, in my situation, would, perhaps, displayed less activity but there were three stimulants which incessantly warmed up my zeal at that disastrous period. They were, the glory of my country, the importance of the post which I held, and gratis tude for the favors confided on me by the Emperor Paul. The occupation was so great and continual, that a man had no time to get sick; and I do not, even now, know howl was able to resist so much fatigue.

From the time when Smolensk was taken, to my departure from Moscow, that is to say, during 23 days, I never slept in mvbed. I slept in iny clothes upon a sofa, constantly wuked up to read dispatches, which were coming in from all quarters, to unswer couriers, and dispatch them immediately. I acquired that certainty which has always the means of being to the country when it hears its voice crying, "sacrifice everything for my safety." Then a man despises dangers, braves obstacles, and shuts his eyes on the future. But from the very moment when a man becomes selfish, and begins to calculate, he does nothing of value and falls into the common herd. I had two important in view, both of which depended on the destruction of the French army.

They were the maintenance of tranquility in Moscow, and the causing the inhabitants to leave it. I succeeded beyond my hopes. Order was maintained till the time of the enemy's entrance, and out of two hundred and forty thousand inhabitants, there remained only twelve or fifteen thousand persons, who were either shop-keepers or foreign ers, or ihe dregs of the populace. There was no person of distinction among them neither of the nobility, nor of tho clergy, nor of the merchants. The Senate, the Courtc, and all attached to either, had left the city several days before its occupation by the enemy.

I wished to deprive Napoleon of the possibility of forming communications from Moscow, with the interior of ihe empire, and to prevent him from exercising the influence which the Frenchmun has acquired iu Europe, by his literature, his tongue, and his cuisine. By means of these the Russians might have been drawn near them, their confidence might have been acquired, and in the end, services might have been exacted of them. But in the midst cfthe people ltft at Moscow, seduction was cf as little evail, as if it had been uttempted ou deaf mutes. VELASCO AND NORFOLK. Our old friend, Dr.

Branch T. Archer, publishes in the Norfolk Argus, a communication iD which he sets forth the advantages of a direct communication wiih Velasco. There can be no doubt that the Doctor is right in all his positions, and we only regret that we have not space to publish his communication at length. The river Brazo, on which Velosco is tuated, is decidedly the finest river in Texas. It is the longest of all the Texan Rivers, and the lands upon it are noted for their fertility; they are even richer than the famous Red supposed to be, opening of Texas, the best in the United States.

It is navigable, most to its source, and the navigation proceeds through a perfect wilderness of live oak. Even now steamboats of one hundred and fifiy tons regular trips to the distance of three or four hundred miles, which may be easily extended to eight hundred, when the settlements on the upper BruZos afford objects for transportation. Besides all this, Velasco is one of the healthiest places in the world. Any man, at least any old acquaintance, wbo will take a look at Dr. Archer, will be convinced of this fact.

He looks as fresh now as he did when he first went out to Texas, twenty years ago, and as young too. The salt baths of Velasco have preserved him, no doubt, in his present state of health. The salt has not lost its savor. However, ihe Doctor saye, and says, we doubt not with truth, that the bar of sand well known to exist at the entrance of the harbor ia nearly a mile from the mouth of the river, and thattwo miles without the river, the largest ahipa in the world may float. In proof of the fact, it may be stated, that after the French bombarded Vera Cruz, in 1838, Admiral Baudon, with his whole anchored in the roud stead outside the bar, and declured the holding ground to be as good as it was uny where in the world.

It ia only necessary to extend wharves twen. ty-five feel from the sand beach, on either of the river, to have ample depth for all vesstlt to crosa the river. Connected with these matter-of-fact statements in relation to the port of Velasco, (says Dr. A-,) I will call attention to the notorious fact, that the introduction and application of ataam, as a propelling power, has created a new era, indeed, given a new impulse to the commercial relations of the whole world. This efent is at present employed iu the navigation our rrters, bay a and inland aeas, and to considerable extent on our oceans.

The awty inipiovement in its application, and econdar it iha 10 re um prop Uin ww light- Mr other to be cheaper than bf Bcb Tbe certainty tt commwjdiog tbe(n without regard to wind or tide, the WW which they ciin take any position at sea, rivm them a decided advantage er a self. Of the truth of thin fuel I had once the opportunity of being a witness. 1 passed from New Orleans to Brazos St. Jayo, on board (he steamer Galveaton, commanded bv Capt. Wright.

She had on board the Missouri Volunteer Regiment, with the horses of officers ottached to said regiment. The night preceding our arrival off the bar of Brazos St. Jago, we encountered a storm, more violent (as reported by Capt. Wright) than anv he had witnessed during tweniv-one years of aea service. The condition of the sea some three ur four miles outside the bar after such a night of storm can be more easily conceived than described that the were mountain high we all know.

Within the bar was a small steamboat lighter for the purpose of taking off the troops, supplies for the army, Bfc-, from vessels too to pass the bar. This little as the sea the Galveston outside the bar, and tliree hours alter her arrival alongside the Galveston, she had on board the officers and men of the ragiment. We propose to say more on this scheme of Dr. Archer's. It is a proposal to throw the whole trade cf the Brazos into the arms of Norfolk.

And why should notNoifolk accept the proposition Why should not she, rather than a non-slaveholding city, have the trade oi all this glorious valley of the Brazos. ROSTOPCHIN'S NARRATIVE. We have been asked our opinion relative to this extraordinary statement, and we have replied simply by saving that we knew not what to think of it. The firing of Moscow has always been regarded as one of tin most sublime acts recorded in history. It was supposed not to be merely patriotism, but a love of the human species, and a desire to destroy the destroyer, that prompted the act.

The Count de Rostopchin has invariably received all the credit for this act. He has been exalted into a hero for i', find is at this day regirdedas such by haif the world. That he should come forward and, without motive, deliberately destroy the ibric of his own popularity, is so strange, as to be absolutely incomprehensible. Our own belief if, in spite of his protestations, that Rostopchin burnt the it was his own own desire that he alone contrived the means to carry it into execution. He may proteet to the end of his life, and yet no rani', either in Russia or France, will ever believe one word that he pays.

If he did notjjurn it, what did he mean by carrying off all engines? If he took that precaution, was it not a premonitory symptom of what was to follow If it was not, then we ask why was this p'vcaution taken? We could convict Rostopchin before any court, upon the evidence cf this pamphlet. WHAT THE MICE SAY. We recollect, a great many years ago, meeting with a friend who had returned fioru England, and disputing with him about the wealth of tho respective noblemen. He main tained that Lord Grosvt'iior (now Marquis ol Westminster) was (he waalthiest nobleman in England. We asserted, upon the strength tf a publication then recently made, that Marquis of Stafford wealthiest.

Our quarrel was long and vrhemeut, and ended as such quarrels generally do, in a bet. Well, most ungratt fully, without troubling themselves about either of us, the parties have settled the matter on their own hook. Lord Grosvenor, the heir apparent of the Marquis of Westminster, has married tho elder daughter of the Duke of Sunderland. And what do you think her name was, ladies Why, Lady Constance Levison Gorver. There is a name for a plain republican Big Chicken Cocks.

We thought when we wrote the article the her day, that Butters could not be surpass in this line. But our old ftieud, Phil. Dougherty, is at least to him. He has some Caickens as white as the four oxen that started off on a dog trot and carried the ark back to Jerusalem, and so big and fat that their crow sounds like the bark of a mastiff.

I kom Eastern Clarksville Northern of the 4th says that a Wisdom was recently murdered in Dallas county, by a hired negro woman living at his house. He was sick, and had threatened to whip her when he got well, and had cut some rods fur the purpose. The night succeeding the cutting of the rods, she took an axe in the house and split his head open, letting the brain out. She is in jail, well ironed, sud has confessed the murder.

Wisdom was a widower, and has left foilr small children orphans, without a relation in the State.

LOCAL MATTERS. condition of this evertoiling, poorly-eompensated class of laborers In our city, is one of some hardship, it is true, as a thing. The small compensation which they re crive renders necessary on their part the most rigid economy and untiring industry. Nevenhe'ess, they have teason to to thankfal that their cotdi Uon is in every way superior to that cf tfceir emaciated and half starved sister seamstrestes cf the North. The prices cf ceede-work here are much hifher, rents are cheaper, and healthy food is moie accessible.

The climate also more ftvorable to health. We gather from some statements cf thecotdition cf this class of ope ativej in tne fru aid wealthy city cf New Yoik, that the most from live o'clock in the morning until eleven at earn about $3 a week. Out of this they have to pay a dollar tad a half for board, leaving a similar amount "for fuel, clothing, aLdall other Their condition, however, as compared with that of their class generally, was one of opulence. The usual earnings weiebuttwo dollars a week, which, as icjfecta b.e board could be htd nowhere for less than a dollar and a half. It ft only fifty for everything Tbe boarding houses, even at this piice, are of the poorest character, always noisome aid unhealthy, at-d not utfrequently in vile neighborhoods.

With such positive atd immediate evils to eom tend with, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, what wonder that so many needie-women take the wages cf sin Among the brought to light in New York, was tbat an intelligent and skilful dress-maker, who was foutd in th-j garret tf a cheap boarding house, out of work, atd reduced to such that she had actually pawned everything but her skirt and her under garment, in order to procure bread. Nor aie such instances unfrequeat. The email remuneration which these work-womea receive, keeps them living from hand to mcuth eo that, in case of sickness, or scarcity cf work, they are som-ttimeilcf. Lite: ally without a crust. As seine alleviation cf this crying evil, it is proposed now in New York to open boarding-houses, as a beginning, where, far a low good accommodations can be furnished to poor needle-women.

A large spacious dwelling his accordingly beea reafcd in Broonce street, principally through the munificence cf a merchant cf Brooklyn, ar.d the the price cf board fixed at one dollar and a quarter per week, with conveniences cf baths, ice without additional charge, and with a sales-room attached to it This movement looks like a step in tbe right di rection. The philanthropy and exuberant generosity cf Northern reforu-ers can certaiuly be expended very appropriately in adopting measures for the relief of their own suffering white female slaves For the condition of the mass of the poor in New York is worte than that cf the most abject slave among us. Oca Railroads. are stirring times with our several railroads. On all, there is a large amount cf travel, atd a very heavy freight business in contention with ihis city, and the trodeand travel on ail rapidly on tho increase.

The stveral depots piesent scenes cf business never before equalled, aid of the most lively and chsering character. Capacious as are the several depot houses, they are scarcely sufficient at preient to accornmcd.te all the produce and goods arriving and departing. The depot cf the Danville Railroad is already found wholly incapable cf holding all, or indeed half of the produce and goods constantly presented far market ai transportation; and the company is obliged to stow it away under canvass tents, nnti. they can provide an sdditional building for its re" house for which they are now collecting the materials. Atd as it is wirh the railroads, se it is at present with the canal.

Ail are doing a most tnriving busiuess, and affording the evidence of the grrat advantage cf all these great licei cf internal improvement to the commercial and all other interests cf our city, and at the same giving to the several companies the most gratifying evidence of the ultimate success and profit cf their improvements.

We should hare stated that a protracted meeting is In progress at this church, under tha charge of Mr. Bailey, gentleman untiring in devotion to his peculiar mission. In the course of the sermon, which was being delivered, Tucker took exception to some Mr. Bailey a liar, and cursed and raved in a most beastly manner.

One of the members of the church, named Butler, undertook to put the intruder out, but Tucker resisted, striking Butler in the face and blacking one eye. Subsequently some persons carried Tucker off. Tte conduct of this man should not go unpunished. We recommend to the watch id the Valley beat, that they have an eye to those disorderly charactera who are so lost to a sense cf decency and self-respect, that thsy even force their bloated carcases and brutal language into the sacred sanctuary.
