The Kxicutive is blamed for what is term ed an indirect war on Spain, if the measure should have been outhori 1 zed 5 and General Jackson i? ceasu | red, if, without such authority, it i shall appear tint he lias assumed the 'responsibility of this acL ?

The writer of this sketch proceeds to sUte, ; that in t|>e year 1799 Russia^ , had a disposal^. army of only fifty thousand men) in the year 1807, not more than eighty thousand, ? nd in the year 1818 only three hundred thousand ?n W whole, territory; whereas in 1817 ste overshaded both Asia and Europe bv the mass of six -Inwdrcd and forty thousand men. * ? The fact is,'' Says this writer/ , tlwt Russia, after posting thirty thousand men of appropriate force, j wilh artillery, ko. iiFinland, eighty thousand on the fts#tier of (Jallicia, sixty thousand in Moldavia, thirty thousand on tlw frontier of \mtni*, as many in Persia, and leaving 4 reserve of one hundred thousand men to sustain these a?niics> possesses still a disposable fore? of aljifte two hundred thousand infantry, eighty thousand cavalry, ahd one thousand two hundred guns better horsed for service than any artiiery or cavalry in the world ; an armyj titan which there is none more lirave, and with which no other can march, starve, or suffer physical | solvations and naturaj inclemencies. She lias, moreover, a population equal to the needed sup ply and to a great portion of wltom the habits and sufferings of wsr are familiar, while no power in Europe can raise, equip or maintain their forces, with such disdain of the price of blood."
