From the Bait. Federal Gaz. The Holy Alliance and ttu U. S. of America. When some of our public writers stated it as their dpin ion, that the members of the Holy Alliance "did not confine their views of subjugation to the South American Republics, but contemplated an extension of their paternal embraces to the United States, it was consider ed, we believe, by most men, and by ourselves among the number, as a chimera, arising either from a too easy admission of fear, or the supposition that these Holy brethren were really more absurd in "their notions of things" than could well be con ceived by ordinary capacities. It was not, we thought, to be gravely maintained, that such a measure could for a moment be contemplated by even an ultra royalist of the highest and war mest cast, much less by a man represented as the ablest and most influential statesman of all the diplomatic corps, connected with the Holy Alliance. We have now, however, to acknowl edge our mistake, whilst we communicate to the readers of the Federal Gazette what will, we imagine, not a little surprise them, namely, that no less a personage than Pozzo Di Borgo, the Ambassador from Russia to France, the paramount minister of the Holy Alliance, who is sunosed to direct the attention of the Allied Sovereigns as he would the babies of his will, and to have wielded the destinies of European Continent since the sun set on the fortunes of Na poleon, actually advised an open attack by arms on the indepen dence aad liberties of the United States of America. We copy the following editorial article on this subject: From the London Morn. Chronicle. The extravagance of the Rus sian or high Ultra party in France, would hardly be credit ed in this country. Would it be believed that M. Pozzo di Borgo, its oracle in Paris, in a memoir addressed to his Court in 1817,on the importance of re placing South America under the dominion of Spain, actually allowed his zeal against liberty to carry him so far gravely to propose the subjugation of the United States of North America. "Founded, he said, on the sovereignty of the People, the Republic of the United States of America was a fire, of which the daily contact with Europe threatened the latter with con flagration; that this state, an asy lum for all innovators, gave them the means of disseminating at a distance by their writings, and by the authority of their example, a poison of which the communication could not be questioned, as it was well known that the French Revolution had its origin in the United States; that already troublesome effects were felt in Europe from the presence of French refugees in America, and more particularly in France, that the administra tion of that kingdon was oblig ed ot bend before the revolution ary spirit; and that a prompt re pression of democraticial princi ples could alone prevent the ir ruption ot an evil already so grave in its source." After a variety of considerations of the same sort, the Russian Ambas sador proceeded to observe, "That the conquest of the Uni ted States of America was an easy enterprise that their sub mission to a mode of govern ment more in harmony with that of the other civilized States'. comparison ot the danger from allowing to subsist much longer the form ot the actual govern ment; that the degree of power to which the Americans had n sen, made them objects of fear to the European monarchical o-overnments, but that at the same time, the sum of their rich es having augmented that of luxury and corruption, there was reason to think that the principal citizens of the Uuited States would not be displeased to see a ctiange which would place them at the head of the government of their country; that as the aristocratical spirit was more particularly precepti- ble in the towns, the influence of the rich citizens might easily bring about the desired change; that it would in vain be objected that the United States had just come off victorious out of the struggle they had maintained with Great Britain; that this success was owing to particular causes, the absence of which would overcome opposition and resistance, and that two of these causes could not fail to strike every observer, that in the first place, the richest citizens saw with fear the moment approach in which the English party would replace the U. States un der the power of England; that, In Beaufort county, on the 3d in stant, Mrs Lucretia'Woodard, re lict ot the late Isaiah Woodard.

Now, though all this must ap pear to us Americans extremely absurd and extravagant, yet, when we consider that it comes from a man who is understood to influence the cabinets of the Holy Aliance,the folly assumes; a graver aspect, because we! know that weak and wicked princes, and even those of a bet ter stamp, are sometimes gov erned by weak and wicked min isters; and that, when wicked ness is combined with ability, the danger increases fourfold.
