EN extraordinary parsonage has been rrputed to represent the American people at the Court of Russia, the public, without doubt, have some curiosity to leaIn whether, tn fulfilling his high functions, he is likely to elevate or deprpss our national character, in the view of foreigners. The information detailed below, is communicated to us from Gn intelligent Gssd highly respectable source, aud cG'rnOt be doubt ed:

 "Upon the arrival of the Concord. large number of Americans, English, and Russians, proceeded to the English Key. about slx o. clock in the evening, tO witness the landing Of the new American Minister. They waited in vain for long time, and f0ally retired. The steam boat in which he disembarked from the Concord, was lying alongside the Key, with the American ensign at the peak, and as the crowd withdrew, rumors of an unfavOrable character of MT. Randolph were universally circulated, which were carried to the ears of the Empress. At length MT. Randolph made his appearance from the cabin, and after com snissiOning gentleman attached to hts suite to procure carriage, he took his seat upon the quarter deck.

 His dress was quite slovenly, and he wore large white hat, much too large for his head, which he kept in its proper place hy means of a huge bandanna handkerchief stuffed be- BWGGH ubS tUtCtbGNU NuW ttAC tGVuS R0tS Vb UeS hat. One of the first merchants in St. Pe- tersburg, who resided near by, On witnessing his lonely appearance, went on board of the boat, and invited Mir. R. to his house. Mir. Randolph rose as the merchant approached, and taking of his hat, stood lowing and talk ing earnestly for some minutes, beating the deck vehemently with his cane at almost every word. The merchant looked astonish- ed and uneasy. When the carriage arrived, his baggage was placed in it, and he proceed ed to a hotel.

 e A few days afterwards, Mr. Randolph rented spacious house, and continued in 1t four days. at the expiration of which he quar- relied with the landlord, and was ordered to quit the premises in 24 hours. He forthw ith repaired to a boarding house kept by Mrs. Wilson, an English lady. for the accommoda- ton of English and American masters of ves- sells, and entering the house without ceremo- ny, thus addressed her: els this Mrs. Wil- son? Iam John Randolph, Minister Pleni- potentiary and Envoy Extraordinary from the American Government to the Imperial Court of Russia. haveseen enough of Rus sian ilthiness. and have come to see some English cleanliness: Madam. I'm a drowning man, and you, by placing your thumb beneath my chin, can save my life." Mrs. w. was confused and amazed, and answered the En- voy Extraordinary, by stating that she did not know how she could accommodate him {: but he cut short all difficulty. by consenting to take an upper chamber, which was furnished him.

 Soon after his landing. he was waited upon by the Court Tailor, to inquire his, pleasure respecting his court costume. MT. R seized his cane, and AOurishing it about his cars, drove him out of the house. The next day he despatched a message to the Tailor, who called upon the American Consul, and pre- vailed upon him to accompany him for the purpose of protection.

 At the boarding house of MT. Wilson, his conduct is represented to have been quite ir- rational. He declared that he had left the United States almost by compulsion, and showed the letters addressed to him by the President and Secretary of State, urging him to accept the mission. The letters were read by him to nearly all the American captains.

 His introduction at Court is said to have been ridiculousin the extreme. After his pre- sentatiOn to the Emperor, he told him he must see " Madame, and when presented, ac- costed her with that appellation.

 Such is the complexion of the details which have been communicated to us, some of which are of too disgusting nature to be re- peated. The remarkable contrast which his behaviour exhibits to the gentlemanly de- GEs was topic of remark by the whole population of St. Petersburg. .1
