Excerpt from Palestine, and Other Poems
Ments, planed us highly. His frankness on subjects of politics pleased us highly. The clergy throughout Rus sia are, I believe, inimical to their government; they are more connected with the'peasants than most other classes of men, and are strongly interested in their sufl'erings and oppressions; to many of which they themselves likewise exposed. They marry very much among the daughters and sisters of their own order, and form almost a caste. I think Buonaparte rather popular among them. Plato seemed to contemplate his success as-eu inevitable and not very alarming prospect. He refused to draw up aform of prayer for the success of the Russian arms. 'if,' said he, they are really penitent and contrite, let them shut up their places of public amu'sement for a month, and I will then celebrate public prayers.' His expres sions of dislike to the nobles and wealthy classes were strong and singular; as also the manner in which he de scribed the power of an emperor of Russia, the dangers which surround him, and the improbability of any rapid improvement. It would be much better,' said he, had we a constitution like that of England.' Yet I suspect he does not wish particularly well to us in our war with France.' -heber's ms. Journal.
