j-v YANKEE IN RUSSIA.
Wc co,jy ilic following IVoju one of Mrs.
Child’s “Letters to a Frit-uJ,” uow pub.ishiug
in the A. SS. Siaiidaid.
The following ta the subdance of a story as
told by Mr. Da Jus at a public dinner given
him at Pnhaddphiu, on lus return from Rus
sia, in 1 J-
Oue day a lad, apparently about nineteen,
presented himself before our ambassador at
in. Petersburg. He was a pure spec.men of
the genus Yankee; with sleeves too short for
his bony arms, trousers half way ui> to Ins
knees, and hands playing with coppers and
leupeuny nails in los pocket. He introduced
himself, by saying, “I have just come out litre
to trade with a few Yankee notions, and 1
want lo get sight of the emperor.”
“Why do you wish to see him!”
“I’ve brought him a present ail the way
from Amenity. I respect him con i lerable,
and l want to get at him, to give it to him
with mv own hands.”
Mr. Dallas smiled, as l.e answered, ‘ It is
such a common thing, my lad.to make crowned
heads a present, expecting something hand
some in return, that i m ahanl toe empeior
will consider this only a \ unltee tr,ck. \\ list
have you brought!”
“An acorn.”
“An acorn! vvliat under the sun induced
you to bring the emperor an acorn ?”
“Why, just before i sailed, mother and I
went o.t to Washington to see about a pen
sion, and when we vvjs there, we thought
we’d just step over to Mount Vernon. 1
picked up this acorn there; and I thought to
myse I’d bring it to the emperor. Thinks,
says I, he must have heard a considerable
deal about our Gen. Washington, and I ex
pect be must admire our institutions. So now
you see I’ve brought it, and I want to gel at
him.”
“My lad, it’s not an easy matter for a
stranger to approach the emperor; and I am
afraid he will take no notice of your present.
You bad heller keep it.”
‘ I tell you that l want to have a talk with
him. I expect I can tell him a thing or two
about Ameriky. I guess he’ll like mighty
well to Itear about our rail to ids ami our free
schools, and what a big swell our steamers
cut. And when he hears how well our peo
ple are getting on, may be it will put him up
to doing something. The long and short on*t
is, I sha’nt be easy till I get a talk with the
emperor, and I should like lo see his wife
and children. I want to see how such folks
bring up a family.”
“Well, sir, since you a(b determined up m
it, I will do what I can for you; but you trust
expect lo be disappointed. Though it will
be rather an unusual proceeding, 1 would ad
vise you to call ott the vice-chancellor, and
state your wishes; he may possibly assist you.”
“Well, that is all I want of you. I will call
again, and let you know how I get on. ’
In two or three days, he agun appeared
and sail, “Well, I’ve seen lbe Emperor and
had a talk with him. He’s a real gentleman,
1 can tell you. When 1 gave him the acorn,
he said he would set a great store by it; that
no character, in ancient or modern history he j
admired so much as he did our Washington;
lie said he’d plant it in his palace garden with |
his own hand, and he did it for l see him
with my own eyes. lie wanted to ask me so ;
much about our schools and railroads, and!
one thing or other, that be invited me to
come again and see bis wife; for lie said she
could speak better English than he could. So
I went again yesterday; and she’s a fine
knowing woman, I tell you; and his daughters
are nice gals.”
“What did the Empress say to you?”
“Oh, site asked mo sight of questions.—
Don’t you think, site thought we had no ser
vants in Ameriky ! I told her po r folks did
their own work ; but rich folks had plenty o’
servants. ‘But then you don’t call ’em ser
vnnts,’ said she; ‘you call ’em help.’ I guess,’
ma’am, you’ve been reading Mrs. Trollope !
sai l I—we had that book aboard our ship.—
The Emperor clapped his hands, and laughed
as if he’d kill himself—‘you’re right, sir,’
said he, ‘you’re right. We sent for an En
glish copy, and she’s been reading it this very
morning.’ Then I told him all I knew about
our country, and he was mightily pleased.
He wanted to know how long I expected to
stay in these parts. 1 told him I had sold all
the notions I brought over, and I guessed 1,
should go back in the same ship. I bid ’em !
good bye all round, and went about my bus:-1
ness. Ain’t [ had a glorious time ? I expect
you ilid’nt calculate to see me run such a rig! ’ j
“No, indeed I did not, my lad. You nny !
well consider yourself lucky ; for it’s a very !
uncommon thing for crowned heads to treat a
stranger with so much distinction.”
A few days after, he called again, and said
“I guess I shall slay a spell longer, I’m treat
ed so well. ’Tother day a great offi er came
to my room, and told me tlie Emperor had sent >
him to show me all the curiosities; and 1 j
dressed myself, and he took mo with him in a j
mighty tine carriage, with four horses; and I’ve |
been to the theatre and to the museum ; and 1;
expect I’ve seen about all there is to be seen I
in St Petersburg. What do you think of that,
Mr. Dallas ?” * x.
It scented so incredible that a poor, ungain
ly lad, should be thus loaded with attentions,
that the ambassador scarcely knew what to
think or ?ay,
In a short time,his strange visitor reappeared.
“Well,” said lie, “1 have made up my mind to
go home ;so I went to thank the Emperor,
and bid him good bye. I thought I couldn’t
do less, he’d been so civil. Says ho, ’is there
any thing else you’d like to sec*, before you
go back to Ameriky!’ I told him I should like
to get a peep at Moscow ; for I’d heard con
siderable about their setting tire to the Krem
lin, and I’d read a deal about Gen. Bonaparte;
but it would cost a sight o’ money to go there,
and I wanted to carry my earnings to mother.
So I bid him good bye, and come off. Now
what do you guess he did, next morning? I
vow he sent the same man, in regimentals, to
carry me to Moscow, in one of his own car
riages, and bring mo back again, when I’ve
seen all I want to see ! And we are going
to-morrow morning, Mr. Dallas. What do
you think now !’’
And sure enough, the next morning the
Yankee boy passed the ambassador’s house, in
a splendid coach and lour, waving his hand
kerchief, and shouting ‘(j.od bye ! good bye !’
Mr. Dallas afterwards learned from the
Emperor that all the particulars related by
this adventurous youth were strictly true. He
again heard from him at Moscow, visited by
■the public officers, and treated with as much
attention as is usually bestowed on ambassa
dors.
The last tidings of him reported that he was
travelling in Circassia, and writing a journal,
which he intended to publish.
Now, who but a Yankee could have done
all that !

-PROSPECTUS
iTIOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
. AND APPENDIX. These works have
now been published by us lur ten consecutive sessions
ol Congress, c.imneiicing with the session ol 18->2—3.
‘t hey tiave had such wide circu.alton, and have been
so universally apptoved and sought after by the pub
j ,ic, that we Jeciit it necessary oiuy in this prospectus
lo „av that they will be couuuucd at .he next session
I of Congress, and ic state, succinctly, their contents,
me. form in winch they will be printed, and the prices
i lor them.
| The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily
j pioceedtngs of die two liousts of Congress. Ihe
! speeches o the mein rers are abridged, or condensed,
! io filing them into a reasonable, or readable length,
j Ali the rcoo uitous (dieted, or mo ions made, arc given
,u length, in the mover's own words ; and the yeas
j and navson all the important questions. ll is printed
I with small type —brevitranu nonpareil—on a double
I royal sheet, tu quarto form, each number containing
j Itiroya quarto pages. It is printed as fast as the
business Uone in Cong as furnishes mailer enough
jfo a number—usually one number, but sornotlines two
i unmoors, a week. We have invariably printed more
| uuui .ers than iltere were weeks in a session. The
: appioaching se s;on ofCongre. s, it is expected, will
j continue 7 months ; if so, subscribers may expect be
| tween SO and 40 numbers, which, togedier, will make
i between o’ 0 atidSJO royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the President’s annu
j al message, the reports of the principal otliceis of die
; Government that accompany it, and ail the long
: speeches of members <d Congress, written out and
revised by themselves, it is printed in the same form
I us tiio Congressional Globe, and usually makes about
the same number of pages. Heretofore, on account
of the air speeches being so numerous and so long
we have riot completed the Appendix until one or two
months alter the close of the session ; but, in future,
we intend to print tile speeches as fast as they shall
be prepared, and of course shall complete the wotk
within a lew days after the adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but it is
nec> ssary for every subscriber who de ires a full
knowledge of tire proceedings of Congress, to h tve
both ; bt cause, then, if llicie should be any ambiguity
in tile synopsis of the speech, or any denial of its cor
rectness, as published in tire Congressional Globe,
the reader may turn to the Appendix to see the speech
at length, corrected by the member himself.
Now, thera is no sou ice but the Cortgressina!
Globe and Appendix,from which a person can obtain
a full history of the proceedings of Congress. Gales
and Seaton’s Register of Debates, winch contained a
i history, bus been suspended lor three or lour years.
It cost about five times as much for a scs.-a n as the
I Congressional Globe and Appendix, and did not oon
: tain an equal arnou t of matter, a great portion of the
1 current proceed ngs being onu.teo. The speeches ol
I both parties are publish) and in the Daily G:obe,and in
the Congressional Globe and Appendix : other papers
publish their oj'.r side only. We are enabled to
print the Congressional Globe and Append x at the
low rate now proposed, by having a large quantity of
type, and keeping the Congressional matter that we
set tip for the daily and S( mi-weekly Globes, standing
for the Congressional Globe and Appendix. If we
had to set up the matter purposely for ihese works,
wo could not afford to print them for double the ptice
no v charged.
Comp ete indexes to both the Congressional Globe
and the Ap >endix are printed at the close of tach
session, and sent to all subscribers hr hem.
We have on hand 3,000 or 4 000 surplus copies cf
the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the extra ,
session, which make together near one thousand roy
al quarto pages. They give the fullest history ol
Congress that has ever been published We now
sell themfor $1 each; i hat is, $1 for the Congression
al Globe, and §1 for the Appendix. We propose to
let subscribers Ibr the Congressiaua! Globe and Ap
pendix fir the next session, have them for 50 cents
each. Yhey will be necessary to understand fullv
the proceedings of the next sessi n. The important
matters discussed at the last, will be brought up at the
next session, in couscqut nee of the universal dissatis
faction evinced in the late elections with the vast and
novel system of policy which the new powers have
introduced, ami which was forced through Congress
without consulting public opinion, or even allowing the
full discussion usual in regard to subjects ofo dinary
interest. The reports of the Congressional Globe
and Appendix are not in the least degree affected by
the party bias cf the Editor. They ate given pre
cisely as writ en out by the Reporters and the mem
bers themselves. And the whole arc subject to the
revision and coir ction of the speakers, as they pass
in review in our daily sheet, in case any misunder
standing or misrepresentation of their rtmarks should
occur.
Wc make a daily analysis of the doings in Con
gress, and give our opinions in it freely, but this is
published only in the Daily. Semi weekly, and Week
ly Globes. The Daily Globe is §lO, the Semi-week
ly Globe §5, and the Weekly Globe §2 per annum,
in advance. The Weekly Globe is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe and Appendix,
and a complete index made to it at the end of each
year.
