" BRAVE 'COUNTRYMEN ! • The din, of arms With which Poland -once more resounds, summons KosclusKo to join you: They are not barbarians hungering for pil lage who now adVance into your plains. - They do not resemble those - ferocious men - who came to di vide your territory, and to insult your weakness, after baying fattened on your misfortunes and your blood : on the contrary, you will, by their Valour and their triumphs—by that thunder-bearing Eagle which hovers in their front, recognize the approach of those unconquerable legions whose vi6tories have rendered, the , four quarters of the world illustrious— who have in one campr t iga extinguished the united power of trwo vast empires."--and who have in one week levelled with the dust a throne raised by an age of Successes—the great work of FEEDER ICK, sanded by all the laurels of -his old Gener3ls. Thus bas it be:On willed by the destiny of NAro- LEON, who creates or destroys KINGS, who overthrows hostile ArmieS with the rapidity of lightning, and who . can, by the force of his arm, and the conceptions of his genius, elevate those Nations which bend under the yoke of an atrocious policy. Poles, there are thousands among you who have fol lowed the first General of Europe through the de files of Italy. Your Battalions are already united - ,with the Arniy of the brave. - Now NAPOLEON marches to -you : his eye observes' yon : he leads into the heart of Poland those Frenchmen, among whom we have found a second country—who have collected 'the wrecks of our own legions in their camps—who have treated ns as brothers—who have covered our misfortuneS- with their laurels; those French Generals, among whom your KO3CIUSKO has ceased to consider himself .proseribed before whom he could raise, with a sentiment of consola tion, and perhaps of pride, his bead, which,.though humbled by defeat, never has beed; dishonoured and among whom he as been permitted to - thersh the love of .his Country, and the, hope of its future freedom.. " Dear Countrymen, you Who, banished from • your paternal still, have still ',remained Poles in a foreign land ; and you who; on the contrary, though rendered foreigners in the midst of Poland, ; have still remained faithful to yotir country and your brethren—l summon you all to arise..—the time 'of your deliverance is cotnel—the Great Nation is be side you,--.NAPOLEON beholds you-- 7 -I(psetesKOCa:ls to you. LoOk around you, and see how Europe,' shaken to her. ancient foundations, .is hastening •at the call of Genius to re-constrthq the social edifice, an to immortalize the nineteenth century by new creations and neve claims to future glory. " Behold how . the yoke 4: the Tyrant of the Seas, cf the .Enemy of the repose of Europe, is breaking on every side.. The people of all countries are ele vating themselves under the authority of Govern ments constituted by law: Oppressed nations are every where advancing to their independence. Poles what more is necessary to be said to animate you, to induce you-to become again 3'oursiilveS ? Doubtless, you are still the 'children of the hero 'who delivered ,Europe.from the.Mussultuan yoke ; your hearts are still inflamed with that ardour which - formerly made your enemies at once esteem and dread you. Though your territory has been divided, are you not still united by. blood, by language, by misfortune, and by all that is dear among man ? If Poland has been of aced from the political map, site still exists entire in the hearts of her children ! If wit bout .the help of France, without any support but a co nseions ness of our own, rights, and our valour, we were able to Make fortune balance between us and the three -Empires which united io oppress' us, what doubt can you have of triumphing, when the conqueror of the Triple Alliance has : passed your frontiers. when the man of destiny direas his view towards you ? Do not you observe the armies. of your ene •lpies tremble at his approach See you not the shades of the heroes who died hi combating for you, press around him, and implore his v engeance Listen to their.sighs ; listen to the uiec of your country, which calls upon you to restere her ancient glory and inclependence.—Poles escaped by a miracle from the steel of your_ assassius, and the chains of_ your •tyrants,,.l colleifed and carried with me the last sighs of my expiring country. ' , Now full of confidence, I breathe my last wisks among yon. Soon shall I tread again on that dear paternal land which my arm has defended, which my blood has dyed, and • which, when I behold again, I shall salute with kisses, and bathe with my tears. Unfortunate friends, wh, m I was prevented from following to the graVe- e -dear, brave Countrymen, whom I was,compelled to - leave under 'the yoke of an Usurpe I have lived only in the hope of avenging yeu--4 come to break your chains.—Saered_rernaini of my Co many, I salute 01 with a holy enthnsiasai ; I rejoin you, never more to part.- I shall sliew. my self worthy of the great man, whos3 arm is raised to 'pro!eit us, and worthy of the people, whe answer to my call. I shall* assist in emanci uating my Conn , - try, and in establishing its fUture prosperity on stable Lases. But if I shall find that the dear name of our Country is with you now-only an empty sound, shall then escape from the common' shame, and from my own misfortunes - , by' bUrying myself. un der the noble ruins of Poland. - Wit it cannot be so.

It . was impossible to compel the enemy to capitulate by a bombardment. The Bavarian and'Wurternburg; artillery, notwithstanding their well-,maintained fire, were of toe' small a ca libre, and the besieging artillery expeeted from- Cds trio had not yet arrived. On the '2 , lth the Lieut. General received orders to relieve Gencral .and to take:uparz himself the entire direction of the. siege.
