attempt to provoke the people was made, and its
total failure seems to have exasperated the autho-
rities to the last degree. The result was that the
churches in which the people were quietly assem-
bled were not only surrounded by soldiers, but
forcibly entered, numbers of the worshippers being
carried away prisoners. This forcible entry of
the military into the churches has taken place at
Cracow as well as Warsaw. These acts of sacri-
legious violence on the part of the military have
converted the national movement into • kind of
religious crusade. The popular cause has received
the highest religious sanction, and the Rua-
' Sian Government is now at war not only
with the Polish people, but with the Catholic
Church. The churches are all closed, and will re-
main so till expiation has been made. " The
" General Consistory of the Archbishopric of War-
" saw has addressed a circular letter to the vicars of
"the parish churches, informing them that in con-
" sequence of the profanation of the Cathedral
" and the Church of St. Bernard, in Warsaw, the
" ecclesiastical seal would be affixed to the doors
" of both buildings on the 1 ith inst., and that no
" religious service would be held in them until an
" expiation had been made." Meanwhile, the
state of siege is proclaimed, and numbers of the
leading citizens are daily arrested. But repres-
sive and violent measures of this sort, so far
from doing anything to avert the crisis, only aggra-
vate its most serious and menacing features.
They but deepen the sense of wrong which has
roused the spirit and patriotism of the people, and
cement the union of creeds and classes it has
produced.

manifestation ; but the populace is very excited,
and difficult to restrain, as they only see in the
royal commissaries the arbitrary instruments of the
Viennese government. Thesituation is very serious.
Either the present ministry must retire, or the
government must maintain its authority by force
of arms. Agreement or compromise is no longer
possible. Hungary is iu complete anarchy, no
authority being recognised as legal, and none having
the power to make itself obeyed. But all the
Hungarians are agreed in their opposition to the
government."
