We must acknowledge, the whole system ot British colonial policy has ever appeared to us an enigma; and everv dav it seems more difficult of solution.

St. Petersburg, 3 1st March, 1823. Tire emperor approved, on t fie 25th ot this m nuh, a report of the mitibter of worship and n .1 'ic instruction, or" whicli the folio -ving is the sultance: The laws ot the empire formerly prohibited the lesuits tiom entering Russia. Neverth' iess, st dideren: perio is and under various pretexts, the in dividuils attached to this reli ivus order found means to ob0 . ... tain admission into ue c mntry. Sueh infractioris, of a podtivc piiihioitioo, gave bit thin 1719, to an ordinance rt Peter ttie 1 st, oy which tii- Je .u.r - and t!icir attend mt were cr.eicd to leave tlic imperial domihi iiss. The re aiiuexatiorud "White Rcsia to the emp 1 e i-.i 1772, inn -duced into Ru t t tie Jcsui' who inhibited that provide. Soon after this event, by a Brief ot Pope Clement XIV. difed 2 iht July, 1775, the saeiety was abolished, deprived ot its dignities and Junctions, as well as its property, schools, colleges, and other establishments, and, in the same manner as the regular clergy, was placed under the' jurisdiction of bishops. ' Thai dissolved by its supreme chief, thtoner had recount

to the prnri-ction of the empress Catharine II. and having obtaincd it, the Jesuits preserved their lands in White-Russia, the inhabitants of which were even liberated from every description of land tax. Such a great favor was, however, granted to them conditionally. A wise precaution suggested the ordin mcc of 1782, which allowed the existence of the society under the especial condition of its conforming to the laws of the empire. By different edicts, from 1772 to 1782, the Jesuits were dirvcte J, iu compiia icc with tiie regulations adopted by the Koiy See, to submit to the jurisdiction of the Bishop of their Diocese. Acting in obedience to their private regulations, in preference to the commandsof their spiritual chief and the laws of the empire, the Jesuits exerted themselves to maintain their independence contrary to the diet of 1782, which enjoined them, rega dlcss of any such regulations, to obey the archbU shop ot Moiiilew. In lSeo, thejetiitj received pet mission to otliuatc in the Catholic churches at St. Petersburg and the principal of the order, reiving on a statute, promulgated the 12th February, 1769, organized a college, in which chiidieu, without distinction of religion, were s on admitted. The Jesuits, however, going beyond the limits of this statute, employed every kind vt eduction to convert to their persaation the children who vvcre entrusted to their care, as veil as other persons belonging to the communion of the estiblidied church. Placing themselves constantly aboe the -aws, the Jesuits, notwithstanding the imperial edict of the l.-ah Miy, lb'oi, persisted in withholding all accounts of their man age men t of the fundi of the Roman Catholic pariah; they employed the revenues of their college at their own discretion, and, far from discharging the heavy debts which weie owing iu behalf of the church, did not scruple to contract new ones. To this it mu:t be added, that the Jesuits could not even conciliate the confidence of a paternal government by presenting, in the s'ates which were left to them, an cxampieof thatpcaceful prosperity which christian charity promotes. The miserable condition of the people upon their land j showed that their acts and their professions .were at variance. , So many encroachments, and such repeated violations of the civil and ecclesiastical laws, de termined the emperor to expel them in 1815 fiom St. Petersbuig, and, at the same time, to prohibit them from hereafter entering either of the twocapitils. Although fully impressed with the necesjity ot this act of justivC, the emperor was, notwithstanding, solicitous that no consequences should result from it which might be prejudicial to the Roman Catholic Church. The debts which pressed so heavily upon the church, amounting to 200,000 rubles, were discharged by the imperial treasury; it was also provided that the service of the church should cct eulfcr the least iatcriupugn.

The Jesuits, although ri

must have been well aware of aw? the reprehensible light in which their proceedings were viewed, did not, howevcr, alter their conduct. It was ascertained by the civil authorities that the continued to seduce to their communion those children of the orthodox church who were under their tuition, at the college cf Mohilew, and act in direct contravention to the obligations which are imposed upon a tolerated persuasion in con sequence ot the protection it enjoys. The Jesuits were accordingly fcfroidck.i la idrnit into their schools any other "children than those belonging to fne Roman Catholic church. Without any regard to the Brief of the Holy See, and the regulations of the Empire, by virtue? of which the United Greeks arc prohibited from submitting to the jurisdiction of the Romau Catholic church, the Jesuits made eilorts to bring about their conversion in the very presence? or" the Greek priests. At oanttof, and in different parts of Siberia, under the pretence or exercising their functions, they introduced themselves int0 countries where their serviceswere not required; and their ardent wish of making prose, lytes was again manifested in die government of Witepsk The Dt. ot Worship pomtcd out these transgressions to tiic principal of the order, so tar back as 1815. These warnings were useless. Far frtn tol. ing the example of the 1 lidied church, which lefu. employ any means of ijed:.' and artilice, the Jesuits e ued to disturb the Piote ) o a at: settlements and did not hesitate even to ue violence for the? purpose ot taking away h '' --h childten from their parent . Such is the simple exposition of facts. It is unnecessary to detail all the circumdancefi which aggravate them, as they will readily strike every impaitial mind. Perhaps, in 1815, their expulsion from Russia would have prevented the serious tlilHcultiea which absolutely require sucbi a measure at the present moment But a noble reluctance to take back a favor, beforeweighty motives rendered ic necessary, and tne paternal solicitude of the Emperor, that no inconvenience from the want of priests, should be felt by his Roman Catholic subjects, together with his desire of seeing the place of the Jesuits supplied by eclcsiastics well versed in the? modern languages influenced by those considerations, the Lmpcror determined to mitw gate the punishment which this order had so well merited. Since, however, their infractions of the laws of the empire, and of the engagements whi-di they contracted towards the government, at the time their reception in Russia, havo only become more numerous in consequence of this delay; and it being ascertained thac the other monastic ord-rs arc competent to furnish as many prices as may be ncccrsary, the Minister of Worship has found himself compelled to submit to the emperor's approbation tho following measures: 1 1 he definitive expulsion q the Jesuits tam RiusU, andn
