RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

The following official reports, describing the atro-
cities committEd by the Russian troops at Bialaszew,
have been sent to the Home Minister at Warsaw :
" REPORT OF THE MAGTSTRATE OF THE COMMUNE OF

BIALASZBW.
" On the 19th (31st) of March, at 8 30 a.m., a detachment
of insurgents entered Bialaszew by the road leading from the
village of Klimaszewice, through the courtyard, and seized
upon the houses on the estate. In about an hour afterwards
the imperial troops in pursuit of them arrived. Some firing
took place on both sides in the yard, and after a few shots the
armed detachments retired. Being in the midst of the firing,
I could not see whither this detachment proceeded. The
imperial troops now attacked the house with a hailstorm of
shots, I, a quiet inhabitant, being in the house at the time.
At length the soldiers entered, killed my daughter with two
bayonet stabs, wounded with two shots my son-in-law, who
came from Suwalki for the holidays, and began to plunder
When these outrages began we went out of the house into
the garden. Here three soldiers continued to fire at us from
the street, although we were unarmed. The first—viz., the
armed men who attacked my house—took what they were
most pressingly in need of, or, rather, what they were able
to obtain within the space of an hour. They took three
horses, a britska, and a labourer named Martin Gawelka,
about 25 gallons of brandy, and 30 trusses of hay. The im-
g say daughter, and wounding my son-in-law,
killervants of the household, viz., Francis Slineki,
Victor Bogdaszwski, John Bornowski, John Kolinski,
Frederick Robylinski, a labourer, and John Karas, an old
man aged 60, and a Prussian subject. The above were first
castrated, sad then twice stabbed with bayonets. They also
wounded mortally Gottlieb Szsnt, a smith, a Prussian sub-
ject, and Joseph Bifner, a farm labourer. They set fire to
the corn granary, and to the stables, with the cattle, horses,
and valuables; they knocked the locks off chests and cup-
boards, stole the clothing, linen, and money, and broke the
glass, such as mirrors, &c. They took with them the cop-
per kitchen utensils,
broke into the office, took
destroyed the registers of the popula-
tion

" SIVIDERSKI, Magistrate of the Commune of
Bialsgew in the district of Augustowe."
" MEMORANDUM ON THE ABOVE BY THE CIVIL GOVER-
NOR OF AUGUSTOWE.
" These are the last news from this Government, and in
notifying the same to the Minister I venture to request that
the proper steps may be takes with a view to obtaining
satisfaction for M. Swiderski, landowner and communal
magistrate, who has been so grievously ill-treated, and also
to obviating for the future as much as possible similar out-
rages on the part of the troops, for such conduct causes even
those who wish to remain quiet to prefer to join the insur-
gents rather than be exposed to such treatment.
