thousand insurgents in this district. The three
principal bands are commanded by Captain Young
(formerly in the French army), M. Taczanowski,
and M. Skrzynski All the villages and smaller
towns have recognised the national government,
and are governed by its officers.
The insurrection has gained a moist important
accession of strength in the open favour with which
it is received by the peasants. Many thousands of
them are already among the most active of the
insurgents in most parts of the country, and it is
certain that they would rise en maw if there wore
arms for them. It is hardly too much to say that
the ultimate success of the Poles depends almost
entirely on their being provided with sufficient
arms. Many thousands have been prevented from
joining their fellow•countrymen from the want of
weapons ; andthis want once supplied, the Russians
would be driven out of Poland by the sheer force
of overwhelming numbers, so strong and so uni-
versal is the desire to expel them.
