Next to the extension of the territories of Russia, the enormous nominal amount of her military establish- ment has excited the apprehensions of AVestern Europe. The retreat from Moscow ; the subsequent defeats of the French by armies of which the Russians formed a portion ; the two occupations of Paris by those same armies ; the actual bivouack of the Cossacks, Bash- kirs, and Calmoucks in the gardens of that civilized 40 capital, were events which, in their rapid and tremen- dous succession, ...were enough to lead the French people, in their then depressed condition, to excite the fears, or reproach the indifference, of the rest of Europe, by representing themselves as the first victims of a general Tartar invasion. But apprehension na- turally continued for some time after the immediate occasion for it had been removed. When anti-Gallic feeling had somewhat subsided, the contagion spread to this side of the channel ; and Sir R. Wilson, in his " Sketch of the Military and Political Power of Russia in the year 1817, " warned Great Britain and Europe of what he considered the growing prepon- derance of the military power of Russia.
