ST. Prreisseeen, Thursday.
The following is a summary of the imperial
rescript addressed to Prince Gortchakoft. at
Wassaw:—
. " I ought to consider the petition of the Poles as
null and void. I will, however, only look upon it
as an act of enthusiasm. I devote all my atter.tion
to the reforms rendered necessary in the empire by
the developement of its interests, and the progress
of the age. My subjects in the kingdom of Poland
are equally the objects of my solicitude. I have
given proofs of my desire that they should par-
ticipate in the general benefits and progressive
improvements. My :sentiments and iutentions are
still the sante. I have a right to rely upon their not
hob% misunderstood or paralysed by inopportune or
immoderate demands inconsistent with the welfare
of my subjects. I shall fuliil all iny duties, and
shall not tolerate any serious disturbances. Nothing
can be raised on such a foundation. Aspirations
which should there seek for support would condemn
themselves beforehand. They would destroy con-
fidence, and would meet with severe reprobation,
since they would make the country recede from the
path of regular progress in which it is my unalterable
desire to maintain it."

"lii all parts of Poland mourning shall ho worn
for an indefinite period. Let us support with
,natrage our misfortunes, which are a century old,
and our wounds, which are still bleeding. Let us
avoid all vain provocations '; let us, by indissoluble
concord, prove that we are the nation of sacrifice.
The crown of thorns Las her n for nearly a century
our emblem ! And that crown was yesterday
placed on the coffins of our brethren. Each of you
know that it was meant to signify " Patience in
morrow and sacrifice ; deliverance and pardon !" We
invite every l'ole, whatever may be his religion, to
spread this document in the most distant provinces."
