FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
WARSAW, OCT. 13.

The deep impression produced throughout the
country by the arbitrary exile of Count Andrew
Zamoyski, who has not been allowed to take, per-
haps, the last farewell of his dying wife in this
capital, is growing more universal every day. It
has, at the risk of giving offence to the authorities,
assumed an official character, and drew on it the
punishment of the Government. Thus, at the first
meeting of roe District Council at Siedlce, the Pre-
sident, Mr. Leuis Gorski (member of the late Agri-
cultural Society), fellow labourer of the Count, in
opening the proceedings, alluded in terms most
guarded to the merits and services of a distinguished
citizen, so unexpectedly and so forcibly driven away
from the country, describing him as a model of
" love and industry." Although this harmless allu-
sion had not, in any way, interrupted the legal
course of business, or been considered by the
members as an unfriendly manifestation to.
wards the Government, yet, it was deemed a
sufficient! excuse for the Council to be dissolved,
and for the President to be dismissed from his
office. Considering that the Emperor himself
had recognised the innocence of Count De Za-
woyski, and had sent him, as stated, in his (the
Count's) own interest abroad, it is, indeed, sur-
prising how the tribute paid to the exalted char-
acter of the Count should have been construed
into an offence. The conduct of the Government,
in this instance, bears the impress of a studied.
design to punish even the finest and the most
legitimate, not only national, but human senti-
ments, such is the appreciation of real merit, and
the homage rendered to a great and noble nature.
The Count will no doubt soon reach Paris or Lon-
don, where he intends to pursue the same reserve
which characterised his conduct here, never going
out of the path of legality, or demanding what is
not due to his country by the solemn treaties, and
the fulfilment of which alone, on the part of Russia,
can establish a lasting harmony between her and
Poland. In this respect he may safely reckon—if
not on the active assistance of France and
England, as the binding parties to the
treaty of Vienna in 1815, which guaranteed
the rights now claimed by Poland—through Count
A. Zamoyski, at least, on the force of public-opinion,
which has never failed to advocate the claims of
the Polish nation.

It is reported here that, at his intercession with
the Emperor, the last words used by his Majesty to
the Count were, "I trust, Count, when you are
abroad, you will not act as an enemy towards me."
The Emperor, on uttering these words, must have
been conscience-stricken that he was performing an
act of injustice towards the best and most honest
man he could find in Poland, and afraid of the pub-
lie opinion in Europe which has since passed so
severe but so deserved a judgment upon his Majesty.
The Government have issued a circular appoint-
ing in every town of the district a committee with
a view to have examined, medically, all the persona
subject to military service in virtue of the recent
ukase, from which, as I already stated before, only
landowners and peasants are exempted. The
heaviest part of this measure falls on the towns,
and severe punishments are to be assigned to
those who would either maim themselves, or fly, or
commit any other act which incapacitates them
from the conscription. I fear some desperate act
will be the result of this fresh oppression.
The anonymous press, which has been in exist-
ence for nearly two years, and showed itself so ob-
noxious to the Government, has found an opponent
in a low publication called The Dregs (Komunaty),
the object of which is to ridicule every national
feeling and manifestation. As no respectable
printer would undertake the printing of this new-
born periodical, the Government printing-office is
doing it, and in addition to this help, by some
means or other, best known to the authorities, this
dirty and second class print is distributed gratui-
tously, and left at the doors of the inhabitants. It
would be unwise to say that the Marquis Wielo-
polski or his son have any knowledge of this dis-
tribution ; but they cannot be strangers to the fact
that official sanction must have been obtained for
the paper to be printed in the Government print-
ing-office.
Four regiments of Imperial Guards have arrived
here to relieve the other regiments among whom so
much political feeling and insubordination has been.
discovered. These new guests, and the erecting of
barracks in public places for the soldiers to be
ready for action at one moment's notice, leave
no doubt that the state of siege and the system of
tyranny will be continued, This fresh demon-
stration of official solicitude is in contradiction with
the pacific assurances given by the Grand Duke
Constantine at the opening of the Council of State
—which, by the bye, have held several sittings with
closed doors, and no one knew for certain what that
so-called free deliberative body have hitherto ac-
complished.

The address of which I spoke in my last com-
munication, agreed to by the nobles (300 in num-
ber) of Podolia, and forwarded by the Marshal of
the nobility, Ronaker, to the Emperor, has been
made public, and the following is the text :
" Most Illustrious Monarch,—Tee nobility of Podolia,
empowered by law to lay before your Imperial Majesty the
wants of the country, ventures to express the only and uni-
versal desires of the nation, with the assurance that in so
doing it represents all those who are animated with social
feeling.
" Ruthenia, united to Poland by the celebrated voluntary
union of Lublin, developed itself and grew for generations
in the same progress of civilisation as Poland. Her publio
life and intelligence have for ages been inspired with a
character exclusively Polish. And the foundation of the
strength and duration of the Polish element is, indepen-
dently of subsequent political revolutions, the principle of
national representation and social liberty,

~ In the course of the last half century the policy of the
Government, which is opposed to the spirit of the nation,
caused an unceasing contest, whose present state terrifies
every honest citizen. The nobility of Podolia begs your
Imperial Majesty to put an end to this state of things by
your sovereign will. _

" The Podolian nobles consider that the only way of doing
this is to restore to Poland a unity of administration, and
to amalgamate with her the western provinces, respecting
at the same time the rights of the peasant population, ad-
mitted of late to the privileges of citizenship.
4t The sincere co-operation of the Polish nobility in pro-
curing a definite solution of the peasant question, a co-ope-
ration consistent with the constant tendencies and cares of
Poland in past ages to extend the dignities and liberties of
citizenship to all classes, is an undoubted guarantee of the
good faith of their conduct. Rejecting all thought of the
predominance of any particular race or class, the Podolian
nobles remain true to the fundamental Polish idea of giving
all classes and all individuals the same rights, and they re-
quire union with Poland, because they see in such a union
the foundation of free institutions for all the races constitut-
ing it.
" The situation of our country is a very sad one. A people
without the means of education, the educational establish-
ments being indifferent and unsatisfactory, both as to their
numbers and their system ; the trade in corn rendered im-
practicable with foreign countries because of the want
of
communication ; land property without the advantages of
credit, in consequence of the cessation of loans from Nl',
credit societies of the country, and the want of a eystena
mortgages ; laws opposed to customs, traditions, and the
interchange of opiniun!
;.the execution of the laws render_ed
.
an administration concentrated beyond the pale
nugatory by an administration foreign to the countryoi
national wants and interests; and, finally, a popula-
tions without organs selected by it from its own body for
the purpose of directing its affairs.
