THE CZAR IN POLAND.

(nosy • COIMPOIDADIT.)
WARSAW Ocr. 21.
I have just come from Vilna, and I hasten to
give you the news that I have been able to col-
lect there and on my road. The Czar is very much
dissatisfied with Vilna. The Governor-General
Naximoff is too much in favour at court to be made
the scapegoat et imperial anger ; and it is feared
that the Poles will again be the 'uterus. The
Csar being particularly anxious to have a ball given
in his honour by the Poles at Vilna, the Governor-
General Nasimoff had undertaken to persuade
them to get it up. At first a subscription for this
purpose was set on foot, but without the least suc-
cess. General Nazitooff then imposed on the
Poles in his employ a contribution in the aggregate
of 100,000 frame in aid of the expenses; of the ball.
It was found neeseeary, however, to use compulsory
amens to obtain the payment of this sum. The
poor governor, under these circumstances, felt con-
siderabl perplexed. Meanwhile his situation wan
rapidly becoming one of isolation. Every person
of conesqueoes wee leaving Vilna. The Emperor
was obliged to refuse s ball which no one offered
him. The populace of Vilna, on the other hand,
proposes to gave the Czar even a colder reception.
The tanners and curlers' eocietiaa which in this
eityare so numerous, had come to an understanding
to remain in absolute silence while the Emperor
was pasting. They had moreover actually pledged
themselves to use the stick, the favourite instru-
runt of the Russian government, for the purpose
of silencing any enthusiasm that might be got up
by the polies. This having wine to the ears of the
police, their chief called together the presi-
dents of the various societies, and asked
fur an explanation. They answered, that
it was true, that they had resolved upon that
course of red= lest the Emperor should be
deceived by demonetrations of joy. The Em-
peror might be led to believe (they added) that the
mhabitants of Vilna had reason to be satisfied,
and that all was going on well here, whereas the
reverse was the truth.

Numerous arrests took place at Vilna after the
Emperor's departure. Among °there is mentioned
the name of Professor Jankowski, a gentleman
much respected in the town. His arrest was esinsed
by some patriotic verses written by ono of his
pupils, which circulated in the town, and for which
lie was considered responsible.
After be left Vilna the Emperor went to hunt
in the forest of Bialowics. I have as yet no
details respecting this memorable hunt, which must
have reminded the Poles of the historical
bunts of Augustus 11., King of Poland ; all I know
is, that the Poles have distinguished themselves at
this bunt by their absence. But the lamentable
cuumequencos of the imperial progress were evident
ou the whole of my rust It was necessary to show
the Czar nothing but fine houses on his road, and
to give him a hunt which would astonish tie minor
German princes, his guests. The poor inhabitants
of this part of Poland will lung remember this his-
torical hunt. Thousands of them have worked
during the last three months at these preparation&
Most of them now are ruined. These are the most
fortunate, for 300 of them died, nut to mention the
wounded, in catching the wild beast& which they
were obliged to bring • distance of 90 miles to
the parks which were reserved for them. The
bears, the wolves, the wild bows, and chiefly the
bison& have made many victims. Nothing can be
wore sad than the appearance of this unfortunate
district. All these burtliens were imposed on the
crown peasants and those attached to confiscated
lands in charge of Russian employbs. If the
emancipation which has been so often promised
had no other object than to deliver the peasants
from the authority of their lords, iu order to
give them up to the unbridled oppression of Russian
employes, no one would certainly advocate it. War-
law is sad and gloomy, all the Polish gentry
have departed and nothing is seen in the streets
but Russian, Austrian and Prussian uniforms.lt
looks like a conquered city. The police show ex-
traordinary activity, and in truth it has enough to
do to hide from the eyes of the three sovereigns the
real feeling of the whole population, and make
them believe the reverse. They say that it takes
as much trouble now to excite an impracticable
enthusiasm as it did in 1868 to hide from the eyes
ot of Prince Napoleon the enthusiasm crested by his
name and lits pitsetice. During the night of the
lbth of October lithographed proclamations were
posted on the walls of the town. They ran some-
thing as follows :
" 'Poles ! The three crows who have torn to
pie...we for themselves the bleeding limbs of our
fatherland are coming. Alexander 11., who has
promised so much, has hitherto done othing for
your, and you have nothing to expect from him.
' Leit the day on which the three sovereigns
arrive in Poland be a day of mourning for us all,
and let ovary good Pule show his indignation in the
, only way he can, by him silence."
Beforesunrise all these proclamations had been
torn down by the police ; neverthelms, en the fol-
lowing days they were distributed among a great,
number the inhabitants of Warsaw.

We have had no arrests u yet here, and we
think that there will nut be ally at present, for the
eyes of all Europe are turned towards Warsaw.
