270. ALEXANDER OF RUSSIA, Triumphs of.—

To the wonders of Bonaparte's
rise and fall, we may add that of a Czar of
Muscovy, dictating, in Paris, laws and limits
to all the successors of the Caesars, and holding
even the balance in which the fortunes of this
new world are suspended.—
To John Adams. Washington ed. vi, 353. Ford ed., ix, 461.
(M. 1814)
