WARSAW, Stn. 90.

Yesterday this city was the witness of a dreadful
, poem About half-past five in the afternoon some
' one threw an explosive bomb at General Berg, as
he was driving through the street called Nowy
Syria. The missile made a groat noise, but did
little harm, foe General Berg escaped without
scratch. The police surrounded the house of Count
Andrew Zamuyski, in front of which the occurrence
took place,and Berg drove off to the Castle. Arras's
and revisions would be the only consequences of
such an event in a country under civilised rulers ;
but the Russian government wide:Stands things
differently. Not as hour had elapsed before
several detachments of troops, sent out of the Cas-
tle by General Berg, surrounded both of the houses
belonging to Count Zamoyski. The scene which
followed is almost indescribable. The director of
police, Lewazyn, and other generals who were pre-
sent, ordered all the inhabitants, without exoeptiou,
to come out into the street, led the troops into their
apartments, and ordered thew to pillage. The
house of Count Zamoyski is perhaps the largest
house in Warsaw. It is four stories high, and has
a frontage of twenty-five windows. Next to it is
the residence of the oonnt himself. The soldiery,
who were ordered to seize all the most valuable sr-
' ticles, took the money they found also, giving the
largest share to their officers. They then opened
all the windows, and threw out into the street the
rest of the furniture, such as beds, pianos, linen,
books, and pictures. All that was made of
glass was smashed to pieces. They ended by
burning the furniture in the street, and breaking
into the cellars of the wine nierchans Koupsiki,
drinking as much wine and rum as they could, and
pouring the rest into the gutter. The fire was so
extensive that it lit up all Warsaw. All the male
lodgers of the houses were sent to the citadel, and
the women and children shut up with the soldiery. ,
One hundred and twenty fernlike have been thus
ruined ; their property is deatroyed, their male
members are in the citadel. and their women at the
mercy of the soldiery. Among those arrested are
Thaddeus, Count Laboniirski, and Btanialaus, Count
Zamoyski. The first had his valuable archaeologi-
cal museum completely destroyed. Professor
Kowalewski, rector of the University, escaped
arrest by being from home, but his library, which
it had taken him forty years' incessant labour to
form, and which comprised our of the rarest col-
lections of philological works, especially in the
Eastern languages, for his knowledge of which
Professor Kowalewski was so famous, has been
burnt to the ground.
The above names give a fair specimen of the
class of persons who resided in this house ; and
although the attempt was node in front of it, Count
Zamoyaki's private house, which was behind, and
had DO COMMODieldiall with the other, was also
ordered to be pillaged by the troops.
The troops continue to levy the taxes. Their
usual course of proceeding is to break violently and
noisily into a house without notice, to occupy all
the rooms, eat all the provisions they can find, open
the cellars and orderbrandy, tobacco, and money for
each soldier. Often the soldiers occupy the beds of
the lodgers, destroy the furniture and pictures, and I
only leave the house when a receipt showing that
the taxes have been paid is shown them. Yesterday
twenty soldiers broke lute a certain house, and
asked for brandy and tobacco, promising that they
would behave themselves. As they began to
threaten when they found that there was some
hesitation iu complying with their demand, the
tobacco and brandy were given them, bat becoming I
intoxicated they tore down the pictured, destroyed
the furniture, and insulted the inhabitants.
