From Chambers‘ Journal. RUSSIA AND THE CZAB.‘

EIOOND ABTIOLI.

As to the personal appearance of the Czar, we exhibit the portrait furnished by I-Ienningsen: ‘ He is of commanding stature and presents not only the must imposing aspect of any living eovcrcigri, but its per- fect as he is coloasiil in the proportions of hie for-m, he may really be ranked among the handeorneut men in Europe. When the whole of his Guard, consisting of60,- 000 of the picked men of his empire, is reviewed by him in the Champ _de Mars, the eye of the spectator may vainly wan- der ovcr its ranks to find any one wor- thy ofcomparisou with him for figure, for manly beauty, or for majesty of mien. When he gives the word of command the deep and sonorous tones of his voice thrill, distinctly audible over the vast plain where an army is manuiuvring or ii. crowd looking on, as different from the voices ofliis nume- rous commanders as the notes of an organ from the treble ofa child. He is seen. how- ever, to more advantage on foot than on horseback; because being a stiff and it very timid rider, the chargers he rides in public have always been ntaneged into the rocking-horse carrier of the pitiable beasts which figure in the theatrical circus; so that, in the eyes of an Englishman, this circumstance qualifies very materially the adtniration his splendid equestrian figure would otherwise excite.

‘ Nicholas has also of late years adopted the habit of stirring around him with an air of severity, apparently imagining that his stcrnnese of aspect imposes; whereas, like everything assumed, it haea contrary effect and rather takes away from the ttwe which his majestic figure and features cannot fail to excite.

‘ The Emperor N icholus is, besides, too much of the actor; and it is notwithstanding this mannerism, not because of it, that the reality of his power imposes on his subjects; to the stranger, who is indifferent to his favour or displeasure, it is speedily obvious.

‘ Of the extent of his general knowledge and acquircments, few have the privilege of judging; but, like most princes of the present day, and like all Russians of high rank, he speaks fluently, and without ac- cent, aevernl languages. French and German are familiar to him as his mother- tongue; the English he has learned, like till the other members of the imperial family in the past and present generation, from very illiterate Scotcli nurses and attendants, whose homely fidelity has always been ap-

recinted in their nursery, and with whom

icholas and his empress not unfrequently condeaccud to drink tea. rom these peoplc the imperial family seem to derive many of their ideas of the English, and, including the emperor, are evidently gross- ly ignorant ofthe condition and the usages of British society. Thus the Grand Duke Michael, the einpcror’s brother, meets the clergyman of the British factory of St. Petcrsburg in the streets, and addresses him in English with "G your eyes! how are you?" This is from no inten- tion to insult, but only from his ignorance, not only of the true bearing of the words ‘he is using, but oftbe distinctions of society, which prevents Iiie seeing the impropriety ofthua expressing even the exubt-rririce of his good-humour towards a pcrecnugc to whom his character as a clergyman renders mu‘-ll expressions indecent lrom any man on earth.

‘Domestic and moderate in his habits, few princes have borne it more unlrlcrnisli- ed private character than the present cin- peror long has done. A strict lover of justice, when not interfering with his own pretensions or interests, he has, for the llrut time since the reign of Peter I., en- dtavourcd to enfore its rigid administration according to liiw, with how little success will be shown hercelicr. Naturally desi- rous, whenever the wcighter personal in- tereets of his family wotild allow, ci'itn- proving the material condition of his people and empire,whoso well-being, since the be- long to him, must be as identified wit‘ his own as that of the proprietor with his ttstntc and cattle;atid not contented with the barren

-wishes of an inactive philanthropy- ike his brother Alexander, whose indolencc rendered the reign ofa bencvolently inten- tioned man sometimes as oppressive as that of his father, Paul-—Nicholau I. not only reigns, but, undiemiiycd by the laborious duties such an undertaking entails upon him, actually governs in person. On the other hand, he eeenie to entertain the ivioet exalted ideas of the sacrednese of his high pr-e ative and divine right; and the first con eratlon that actutitee him secure to be the maintenance of his integrity. Severe and vindictive, clemency has never shown itself amongst his virtues."

Notleasetrllriugietlie rtraiteftlrecaar drawn by Conutliurove i, who has been his cheruberleln. He says: ‘ The Emperor Nicltolflr borlI.JIIly 0 I7”, is pow filly- aavsa pass of age. ’I‘all la ldiit'o¢"ll-

posing in mien, and endowed with uncom- mon beauty of face, he has what is called le physique de son role-—the figure for his part. c is truly the monarch in his ap- pearance. His gait, which is heavy dud rather stiff, certainly is wanting in green, but denotes atrcn th and power. Hie smile is winning. is voice eonoroiia and pleasant. Hie features are regular, and combine to form a face a model of beauty of the German type. His eyes alone, which are large and prominent, have something sinister in their expression; and when one looks full and steadily into them, all the charm of his beauty diaappcitra. Sober in his tastes, moderate in his aesionu. and desirous of enforcing military discipline by the power of his own example, he sleeps upon a camp-bed; eats moderately, with no regard to choice of food; drinks but little wine, and that mixed with water; rises early, and labours hard, though unfortu- nately with little discernment. The minute details of military costume, parades, and reviews, absorb much more of his time than the weighty afi'eirs and material neces- sities of the empire. Upon the former he bestows hours; moments only he devotes to the calls of real duty, and to topics which might bring him real glory. The longer one dwells upon his character, the more evident is it how strangely a mistaken course can mislead the finest qualities. His pri- vate life is as full of contradictions as his public—the natural consequence of an utter want of any solid basis founded upon sound moral principle. He is an affectionate father, yet tyraunieea over his children, who fear and shun him; he is an attentive husband, yet keeps mistresses, and exhi- bits them to his court, its if defying any one to attempt to oppose his fancies. At one time, he is kind and humans; at another, harsh, cruel, and inflexible as the fit takes him. He never excuses the slightest diffe- rence ofopinion; yet is full of forbearance for those guilty of vice and crime, and for every kind of corrupt bascncss. He will forgive the highest degree of moral turpi- tudc in his favourites, yet punish the small- est contradictions of his preconceived no- tione with implacable severity. Domestic affection, friendship, love of country, fide- _lity to religious or political principle, are all so many crimes in his eyes when at vari- ance with his ideas, or when they become proofs of independence of character in those who cherish them. How is it possible to govern a community, whatever its nature, from which all needs ofvigour and greatness are crushed out, and the only means em- ployed nre such as tend to corrupt and destroy it? Yet this idcii is the key to the system of Nicholas. This system will yet work out the punishment of his pride—a fact to be regretted, for this man had every advantage necessary to have enabled him to pursue an opposite course. Fate placed him upon a height too lolly for him; the principle of despotic authority has had its day he could only raise it again by evil means, and these in the end must work out his destruction.

‘Many occurrences in his private life arise in my memory, which illustrate the contradictions of which I have been speak- ing. Thus, I saw him refuse a slight com- rnntiition of the sentence 0 ii political offender, notwithstanding the earnest on- treaties oftbe empress, and the bitter tears ofu distracted mother; and about the same time, I rrryselfhenrd him utter, in beliiilfof a favourite, words too. memorable not to be recorded here.

‘General Bibikoff, now minister of the interior, then governor-general of three provinces, had art the head ofihc Court of Chancery a nun who notoriously plundered wiihoiit mercy the inhabitants oftheee three provinces, but who paid for liia privileged robbery in the charms of his wife, who be- came the gt-ricrnl'ri avowed mistress, with the full consent oftlic complacent husband. When this shameful ti-ausuction reached the cure of the emperor, he expressed the deep iiitereet he felt in the condition of more than 4,000,000 of his subjects in the remark, “Let him alone!" adding, in allusion tothe intimacy between the genelal and the chancellor's wife: “ Vt e must over- look something for our friends!"

‘ Thus, as may be imagined, corruption goes on space, without lot or Ilindifrullce. 'l‘hO following proof ofthiu, I feel sure, will hardly be credited by my readers as having occurred in one of the so-celled civilised courts of Europe. The empress, wishing to present some mark of esteem to the fit- moiia singer Rubini, procured a watch rich- ly eat with diaivmiidu, which the exhibited at an evening-party at court to the general admiration of those sent, among whom was the Prince of ‘meets, her brother. After the leridid jewel had been duly ex- Iinoda mired, it was handed to the marshal efthe oeurt to be presented to the singer. Two days aler, the‘ Prince of Prussia, meelin ‘Rabies in the street, inquired of him ow lie was pleaeetlwith the‘ gin of the empress. Upon Rubini'a taking it out, the prince saw to his astonish-

‘Such examples illustrate forcibly my assertion. that uncontrolled power tend. powerfully to evil. An euergdio character and strong will may attempt to check the current, but in vain. But there can bs no barrier set to the «retinal development of

corruption and iniquity, for these are neces- sarily the instruments ofdelpotieni.

‘ The Emperor Nicholas is dost‘ to become a lesson to the world, that the unity of all the material forces of a nation, the concentration of all political power in_ one hand, combined with the energy of all in- herent in a character carved from the livin rock, are not sufficient to preperveaud ative from destruction a principle subver- sive of liberty, morality, and the dignity of huinauity; that a nation even. mill in its infancy, must he ruled in accordance with the laws of gradual emancipation and de- velopmeut; that it is impceei to force a people into a retrograde course; and that no man can have power aullicient to stay the laws of Providence in their steady and infallible progress.

‘At the present moment, alter along reign of thirty years, we see the emperor of Russia forced to risk all his chances for the future upon a single card, with all the interests of morality, human progress, material improvement, and civilisation against him. Let him sufi'er one serious defeat, and he is lost? What has placed him in this position? Is it skill? Is it great- nests?’

There is something of the fataliatic improvidence of the Oreientale in the cha- racter of the Russian: he enjoys the present without caring for the future; he spends his money without keeping account; if pressed, he mo ages hie serfs to the im- pcriul treasury, which never refuses money upon such security; he does not trouble his mind with repaying the debt, or provid- ing for the interest due and overdue, until he is dispossessed of his slaves, who are carried away into the im rial domain. Nowhere in the world do the fortunes of families change so often and rigidly as in Russia. Imperial favour builds them up;

but the wealth acquired by the favourites is dissipated by their sons or grandsons, if the emperor has not previously transformed the estates to some other member of the family, or confiscated them altogether to

e crown; until again an imperial smile restores them to some lucky descendant of the punished man. Thero is no security either for person or propcrt . Hoarding does not avail here, as in the Mohammedan

East; nor is it in the character of the Rus- sian; spending, therefore, is the general policy. here is no such extravagant aristocracy in the world as the Russian; but this extravagance is by far more Orien- tial than Western. The Russian epcirde his money, not so much in the enjoyment of the beautiful, as of the rare and costly. He eats oysters in St. Pctcrebur , because they are not to be found in the galtic, and coat evpriil shillings apiece; whilst in Lon-

on despises them. He buys anything you may shew its unique. When admiring

in ltuly or Paris a work of art, he does not carcuo much about the price, or the beauty and artietical value, as about the celebrity oftbe picture or status. If it is not yet described and praised in the works of tirchmology and art, he tloee not care for it. Gems of peculiar size or colour, Cash- mere ehewle and rich furs, are as highly valued in Russia as they formerly were at Constantinople and lepahan. The luxury of St. Pctcrebirrg, as well as cf_Moecow, is more barbaric than refined. The
