the following particulars are ad
ded :
The rising of the people in this
cicy^ was accelerated by a no r e de
livered by the Ruffian ArnbaiTa
dor, Gen. Baron Iglestrom, to
the King and Permanent Council,
on the i 6 h, requiring nothing else
than that the arfenat of Warf^w
’ ffiould be delivered up to him, the
Pdlilh military be diiatmed, and
that 20 persons, mostly of consid
eration, ffiould be arreiled, and if
found guilty, puniffied with death.
The King and Permanent Council
remonlira^ed with M. IgLeltrom
upon the fubj^h but to no purpose,
and when the Chancelor, Prince
fruLROwsKY, was fenc to the Am-,
i bailador upon the fame bufiaefs,
Baron Iglestrom used such vio
lent expressions to the Prince as
threw him into fits, of which he
ftiil lies dangerously ill.
All this ipread rapidly through
the city, and every thing was im
mediately in motion; and during
^he night of the i6th every thing
was prepared for what followed,
by all the inhabitams'and soldiers
in Warsaw. The Ruffians, of
whom there were 6.000 in the city,
and a number in the neighbour
hood, thought they ffiould loon
put an end to the disturbance.
They attempted early in the
morning of the 17th, to get pos
session of the arsenal, and to disarm
the soldiers in it. A deputation
flew immediately to the cafile„and
jequefted the King to revenge such
art insult offered to his troops in
his capital; His majesty anfyver
ed, “Go and defend your honor P*
They immediately took the load
ed pieces 6f cannon which flood
before the cattle, and marched di
redly to the place inhabited by
Baron Iglestrom, wh.o was Jn
it. In the mean time Che people
took pefleffion of the arsenal, arm-'
ed themfclves, drew out the «an
non ready to make use of, in case
of need, and aflcmbled to the num
ber of upwards of 20,000 soldiers,
citizens and inhabitants. ■ .
The contest immediately began,
and was very (harp in the palace,
inhabited by Baron Iglestrom,
It is worthy of remark, that the
Ruffians, when beaten back, here
and there took ffieker in various

they hung out the white flag,
and offered to surrender. This z
was accepted; but the Ruffians
h?d rhe treachery to fire upon the
people afterward?, which inienced

Among the prisoners is General
Bauer. The Ruffians were oblig

“ After having infligated and
aided with al< their refdurce.% the
French Revolution in its ong/at,
the bankers of Paris are now en
deavouring ro perpetuate its crimes
and extend its dhatters.
Th^y have rendered fthAfelves
the courtiers of .the Committee of
Public Safety, already flained with
the blood of their fellows, and en
riched with the spoils of all men
of .property. Aflbciated to the
number of 42, to exhaust Europe
of provisions, and to fdpply the
enemies of civil fociery with all
that comes within the sphere of
their offerings and their wants,
they have lent to, the Committee
of Public Safety a credit of Fifty
Millions. On the strength of thi^
credit, their agents herein attef
named are going to Ikim Genoa,
Leghorn, Venice, Switzerland,
Hollar, and Hamburg.
We denounce to all Govern
ments this conspiracy against all
men of property, the fafery of Eu
rope, and the prtfervation of so
cial order, &c.”
Then follow the usual declama
tions on the enormity and the dan
ger of felling any thing to the
French ; an ejctV2& of a refoludonr
by the Committee of Public Safe
ty, dated \ 6tb of February accept
ing the offer of credit made by
the bankers; a lift of 42 bankers
who made the offer ;~and the
names of those who undertook the
purchase of provisions on this cred
it in the neutral por^s of Europe^
The plain English of the whole
is, that the French have found
money and agents for the purchase
■of provisions wherever they can be
found; and that the Emperor’s
Mnifters at Bruffcls think the plan
may becounter aded by advertising
the names of those agems,and ap
plying to the bankers of Paris the
word courtiers as a term of the
utmost opprobrium, ■_
