The letters from Wanes,/ reach to the morning of
the day on which the collision of the troops took
place, A letter of the 7th says .
This evening, at 4 o'clock, a crowd of 40,000 or
150,11110 percents assembled before the building in
which tho Agricultural Society held sittings. The
Eumian douhle-headed eagle, fixed upon the house,
had been covered, and the white Polish eagle substi-
tuted for it, fly its side was a red and white cross,
in fact, the Polish colours. The appearance of the
white eagle WAS saluted with prolonged hurrahs by
the crowd, who proceeded with heads uncovered to
the residence of the ex-president of the Agricultural
Society, Count Zamoyski. The count licgl them
to inaintain order. They then went to Count IVielo-
pollikee to whom they wished to give a charivari
on account of his share in tho dissolution of the
society ; but the appearance there of pickets of in-
fantry prevented them from waking any ilenionstra-
tiou. About an hour afterwards a detachment of
gendarmes and two companies of infantry marched
through the principal streets to the chateau, followed
by an immense crowd. The Prince-Lieuteimid, AC-
compan ied by some aides-de-earup and generals was
seen to leave the chateau. He penetrated the crowd
on foot, ure,ing them to disperse. They demanded
that the troops should be removed, when they would
do as he wihheil. The prince withdrew, and re-
turned 1111 horseback, repeating his invitation, but
without success. Several young men near him bared
their liresuita, crying out that he might kill them,but
that they would not withdraw before the troops were
removed. The prince was compelled to quit the
spot, groans and hisses accompanying his retreat. The
efforts of the generals were equally useless. At last
the troops received orders to retire, and then the
crowd dispersed.
A letter in the Debate, describing the above inci-
dents, says also that the crowd demanded of Prince
Gortclutkoff that he should use his influence with the
Emperor to procure them the right of a national
army. "We shall return to-morrow," they said,
"and bring you our demands in writing." The
