7he Russians in Lithuania.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)
POSEN, April 9.
The Journal of Posen publishes the following
intelligence from Lithuania :

" The inquisition organised by Mouravieff con-
tinues to desolate our unhappy province. Courts-
martial are exercising their functions without inter-
mis.sion : their sentences are pitiless, and are always
executed in the place where the victims are arrested.
It is reported that young Prince Narvoich is con-
demned to be shot. Compromised in the recent
events, that nobleman had taken refuge abroad,
but, unfortunately relying upon the promise made
by Mouravieff, of a free pardon to all who would at
once give themselves up to the Russian authorities,
he returned to his home. Immediately on his ar-
rival he was thrown into prison, and, now, after a
year's incarceration, it is said he is to be executed.
No member of the Polish nobility is safe ; not even
those who took no part in the late insurrection.
The most trifling report causes them to be imme-
diately imprisoned and consigned to the inquisitorial
commission. All those who are accused are sub-
jected to heavy contributions, even if declared in-
nocent. The Catholic clergy suffers the most un-
heard of persecution : everything that can be de-
vised by the imagination of Mouravieff and his
satellities to injure the unfortunate members of that
church is put in action.

All the Catholic convents at Wilna, Mohylew,
and Minsk have been abolished ; and the members
of the different orders are confounded together pro-
I visionally, until the period of their definite expul-
sion. In the towns of Kretynga and Kalwarya
monks of the Dominican, Bernardine, and Car-
melite orders are to be found all huddled together,
and all the religeux are conducted from place to
place under the escort of gendarmes. Even the
clergy of the parish are not more fortunate in their
treatment, as the position of the parish curds de-
pends completely on the arbitration of the com-
mandants of the gendarmeries and the chiefs of the
rural police. Indeed they have been compelled to
renounce preaching, for if any expression of the
preacher should happen to be misinterpreted by the
gendarme; he is at once seized and sent out of the
country, as harbouring hostile intentions towards
the Russian Government and authorities. As an
example we may cite the case of a cure of the town
of Worovia, who was lately denounced by the
gendarmes for having said that the end of the
world would be preceded by wars, pestilence, and
other tribulations : he was thereupon arrested and
imprisoned. This circumstance caused Mouravieff
to issue a decree, prohibiting Catholic ministers
from preaching sermons unless first examined by
bishops. Bishop Wolontchewski will shortly be
deposed by a bishop in partibus named Beresnie-
witch, who is to come from St. Petersburg.
" The myrmidons
,of Mouravieff hesitate at no
enormity in order to compel the Catholic population
to embrace the doctrines of the Greek Church.
" The Catholic female peasants are either coaxed
or coerced into adopting these doctrines, and upon
doing so they obtain a dowry and are married to
Russian soldiers."
