THE POLISH INSURRECTION•

(mow ous owl

BERLIN, Ocr. 20.
The news from Warsaw is daily becoming of a
more alarming character. The Polish empleyh in
the whole of the kingdom of Poland are being
transplanted as rapidly as possible into Asiatic
Russia, and their places filled by Russians,
and it is expect:li that the Polish landowners
will follow. Russia now makes no secret of
her intention to incorporate the whole king-
dom with her empire, and thereby to make
1 out of what was so long a source of weakness
to her a sort of military colony that will be a stand-
ling tiniest to Inrope. The Polish capital now
gaffers under a terrorism almost unexampkalla
history. House after house is occupied by the
soldiery, in the vain hope of discovering arms or
the members of the national government, and the
insulting cynicism with which pretexts are invented
for these arbitrary occupations only makes them
more provoking. The house of the gardener Han-
ger and his two brothers (Germans), who were
totally indifferent to the national movement, and
only cared about their trade, was occupied because
a shot bad been fired from one of the windows.
Now, the facts of the case are simply these :—On
the 13th, at seven in the evening, a gendarme
arrived at the railway station (which is close to
Hanger's house) with despatches. He appeared
so drunk as to be hardly able to keep his feet, and
as he wet riding by a pistol, which was dangling at
his saddle, to which it was attached by a string,
went off. Whether this was done purposely or not
is unknown ; but the night was so dark, and the
street so wide, that it.would have been impossible to
take aim at him from any of Hanger's win-
dows. Whether the affair proceeded from accident
or design, it happened very conveniently for the
Russians, who, being cooped up in a small guard-
house near the station were on the look-out for a
more comfortable residence. Next morning two
companies of Infantry and a body of polio, took
possession of the house, and turned all its inhabi-
tants into the citadel one of the Hansen,
who was lying dangerously ill. Four days after the
inhabitants of Warsaw were again alarmed by an
unusual agitation in the city. At ilin the morning
clouds of Cossacks flew with wild yells about the
streets, dispersed with blows the people who were
entering the churches, and took up their position
with swords drawn at the moat commanding points
of the town where they were soon joined by
numerous bodies of troops armed to the teeth,
141 if expecting la attack. FOR two hours the people
were wondering what all these preparations meant.
At length the secret came out. At one o'clock
thick clouds of smoke were seen in the direction of
the town-hall, and the inhabitants being compelled
to remain in their houses, it was evening beforetbe
flames were extinguished.. The cause of the fire
appears to be unknown„ except, perhaps, to the
Russian troops, who seem to have taken every pos-
sible precaution tq prevent the people from assist-
ing to extinguish the flanks long beta-gibe, broke
out. •, ,
Professor HowalewaMireco' verma some of the
contents of his library, which were brought to him
by a Jew, who had purchased them for a trifle from
a soldier. Count Stauislaus Zamoyski, who was
arrested with the other inhabitants of Count An-
drew's palace, was at first sentenced to death, but
this sentence hos sinoe been commuted to deportation
to Siberia for four years.
