Poles !—Lately we demanded sacrifices froth you, which would
have appeared impossible to any other than you. At the same time,
however preat—however painful they might he, they were only cal-
cllated upon the constant surcess of the victorious arnis of our lib:.
rotor ; and they are now insufficient. But you o, ho have sworn to
die, or to recover a kingdom which force.and tyranny alone have torn
from you—you feel as we do; that so look; ss a sicgie drop of Polish
blood shall run in our veins, we have not done fir the county, all
we ought to do. Unexpected events, the comcquences el the west:l3
war, demand from us this last sacrifice. The danger of the count: y,
the 'Miami honour, duty, our cononon oaths, imperiously demand ir.
To arms, Citizens ! It is the country which calls you ; every thing
which is mast dear to us is concerned ; viz. this coomtry , of Much it

terity. it is now that this bravery so natural to you should become
the rampart of our frontier, menaced by an ioiquhous aggressor.—
Come fir a toolooot to join your valet!' to that ot out brave soldiers,-
and let ynue constaro:y enable them to wait the epoch in which the

spectable constitutions, the most holy 1.0.v5, that you have tortned
this sacred tie w hien binds us all. Now is the moment to pay that
debt which the law has made you coi.tract. You, brave de..codauts
of so Ir. 111 V heroes, thew yourselves worthy of your aocestors ; ,prove
to the. universe that in icriting from them th.o.edistioctions, sv hien.
th iy so well merited, you hive acquired a right to them, by services
equally evident. Rke, generous descerohints of Czarni:ckc, and act
so that the bond 'ye have just formed for the cc fence of our rei'giun,
