disturbances, followed by .hideous massacres corn.-
mated by the barbarous upon the civilised portion
of the population. Had it' been possible for the
three detachments of the cum bined expedition to
execute a sudden, simultaneous attack upon Rad-
ziwilow, the town, which does not appear to have
contained more than 1,000, cit at the utmost 1,200
troops, might have been taken, as any German
town near Galicia might have been taken under
similar circumstances. But Radziwilow could not
have been held, and as soon a.-3 the Poles marched
into the interior they would have been surrounded
and cut to pieces. The obiect, however, of the
expedition into Voltiy.nia NVUS Ot to gain possession
of the province (which every one knew to be im-
possible), but rim ply to make a political demonstra-
tion, and to prove to Europe what Europe never
doubted, but may begin to doubt now—that Vol-
hynia, Podolia, and the Ukraine are as much Polish
as all the other portions of territory into which
Poland was forcibly divided at the end of the
eighteenth century. If such a question was to be
decided by force then it is now decided against the
Poles. If, on the other hand, it was not to be decided
byforce, nor by the will of an ignorant and per-
verted majority (an argument which the Poles had
better fall back upon as soon as possible), I cannot
see on what ground the invasion of VolhY nia can
possibly be defended, for there is not a man in
Poland whose opinions his friends would listen to
y
on an ordinary subject of the day who did not
know that it would lead to a terrible disaster.

Ruthenian peasantry.
Gliezianeki was buried to-day in the Brody ceme-
tery. All the shops were shut, and thousands of the
Jewish as well as of the Christian population of the
town attended the funeral.
Horodinski (or Horodycki) was buried yesterday
morning at Radziwilow, which, ever since the des-
perate attack on the town made by his detachment
on the morning of the let, has been in a state of
panic. Yesterday all the officials of Radziwilow fled
to Brody, and an exodus of Jews, to the number of
3,000, took place in the same direction. Towards
evening a report was spread that Minuieweki's con-
tingent (the third division of the combined expedi-
tion) was about to cross, in which case it would in-
evitably have shared the fate of Wyneck's and nor°.
dinski's detachments. There were no signs of
preparations at the Radziwilow barrier, but troops
had been sent out east and west towards the frost:

tier. The Austrian guard kindly allowed me to pass
and to approach the town, and with kindness still
greater, promised to keep a look-out, if I would re-
main in sight, until my return. I took very good
care to keep in sight, and found that between the
Austro•Russian barrier and the town of Radziwilow

(distant about a mile and a quarter) there were no
soldiers whatever. All had gone in search of Min-
niewski. Tne only sign of the recent presence of the
Poles on the Russian side of the barrier was a broken
telegraph wire, which lay across the road, and
against which the horse I was riding contrived to
-:.at his foot. I should like to know whether the
Poles also contrived to cut the wire on the further
side of the town.

To• day the greater part of Minniewski's detach-
ment was brought in to Brody by the ..tustrians,
and the injudicious and impracticable Galician
expedition to Volbynia may uow be considered
at an end.
