RUSSIAN MANIFESTO.

In addition to the manifesto relative to an amnesty,
the following ukase was addressed by the Emperor
of Russia to the Senate, bearing the same date, the
12th April
" The rebellion which had been a long time pre-
pared in secret, and which has at last broken out in
the kingdom of Poland, has also led to disorders in
some parts of the western provinces of the Empire.
The unseen authors of the movement against our
Government, obstinately opposing the realisation of
our kind intentions for the organisraion of the affairs
of the kingdom, have endeavoured to increase the
difficulties which we were encountering in that task
by enlarging the circle of their criminal undertak-
ings and of their pernicious influence. With those
views they had for a long time past been seeking to
shake the feelings of devotedness towards us of our
faithful subjects of the western governments. With
that object they have employed the same means which
within the limits of the Polish kingdom have had
such deplorable though incomplete results. Lastly,
armed bands have crossed the frontier of the Em-
pire, in order to spread in the western countries the
disorders which neither the attempts of the revolu-
tionary emissaries nor their clandestine invitations
to revolt had been able to excite. Our troops have
dispersed the bands which had shown themselves
in the Governments bordering on the Kingdom of
Poland, and their remains are pursued in the woods
in which they have sought refuge. However, in
spite of the folly of a hopeless struggle, the chiefs
continue to exercise all their efforts to mislead the
peaceable populations, and employ with that object
sometimes promises, sometimes menaces, and some-
times violence. Those inhabitants of the western
Governments who had joined the rebel bands and
have been taken by our troops, or those whose parti.
cipation in the revolt has been proved by any other
means, are given over to justice. But we know that
all are not equally guilty, and we wish to give them
the means of profiting by our feelings of sovereign
clemency. With that view, We command that the
superior authorities shall be charged to declare
within the limits of the localities confided to them,
that We grant en entire and complete pardon to all
the inhabitants of the west implicated in tho!edis-
orders, who not having incurred ary responsibility
for other crimes, shall return to obediencee

the 13th of May next. We mainta before
