(PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
WARSAW, Nov. 27

The definite period for taking the recruits is fixed
for the middle of Jan. next, and however dreadful
it is to contemplate its effects, still there is every
hope that, as in all other persecutions and oppres-
sions, this fresh act of Russian tyranny will not in-
terfere with the great work which the nation is
performing with such resignation, patience, and
moderation, and that in spite of all obstacles it will
continue to develop its internal strength andre-
sources. It certainly requires a supernatural
patience to bear against the satanical machinations
employed by the Government in carrying out its
sinister purpose, and in setting class against class
for the accomplishment of it. A sad illustration of
this occurred a few days ago in the small town of
Rypin. The Government, unwilling to appear be-
fore the peasants as directly instrumental in mak-
ing the selection of them for recruits, has delegated
the task to a commission, and enjoined the land-
owners to point out those that are qualified to serve
in the army. The peasants thus instigated, believ-
ing their masters to be the chief cause of the re-
cruiting, against the wish of the Emperor, com-
menced to show their ill-feeling by isolated attacks
on their property. When the day for the revision
and recording of the names of those liable as re-
cruits arrived the little town of Rypin was
filled with thousands of the country people. It
being the duty of the landowner to bring the young
men belonging to his estates before the commission,
which was composed of the civil members, the for-
mer, on entering the room, did not even take their
hats off, and at once began, with the sticks they held
in their hands, to attack everyone that did not
belong to them, and to destroy all the lists and
papers that were lying on the table, as well as
every bit of furniture. Many have been severely
wounded, and would have been killed had they not
taken to flight. After dispersing the commission
officials, smashing all the furniture to pieces, and
scattering it about, the infuriated peasants trans-
ferred their field of violence and depredation to the
town, attacking the houses, and repeating in them
the Be me work of demolition ; beating men, women,
and children, and causing a perfect consternation.
At last the inhabitants sounded the alarm bells,
gathered together, and offered an energetic resist-
ance against the peasants. Twice were they driven
from the town—twice they returned—till at last,
overpowered by the inhabitants, they went back to
their homes. The next day a company of infantry,
a squadron of cavalry, and some officers of justice
arrived to institute an inquiry. But the mischief
was done, and the wish of the Government fulfilled ;
the peasants had their revenge on the nobles, and
it was all that was desired by the authorities. Such
are the consequences of the paternal policy pursued
by the well-intentioned and benevolent Emperor
Alexander 11. It is to be expected that this policy
will not be lost sight of by the Governments of the
Western Powers of Europe, and be appreciated by
them as it deserves to be.

The reports from the various meetings of the
District Council disclose tilike a most lamentable
state of things, caused by the misrule of the Rus-
sian Government since 1831, and the laudable desire
of the inhabitants to amend it. Everywhere the
unanimous decision was to expose the negligence of
the authorities for the well-being of the people; to
resist their pressure as far as practicable in support-
ing the present conscription, and in boldly telling
them the reason of it. Among the most energetic
remonstrances in that respect may
be mentioned
that of the district of Piotakow, which proved by a
very elaborate and statistical report that the num-
ber of recruits furnished by it since 1831 to 1856

was 11,000, who all had been sent into the depth of
Russia, and of whom 400 only returned home,
chiefly discharged as sick or cripples. The climate
and the military service of Russia are sufficient to
destroy twenty times the number quoted, and of
those who are about to be despatched very few are
destined to revisit their domestic hearths.

The Marquis Wielopolski seems to be at his
wit's end what to do. On taking the reins of
the Government to introduce the measures ap-
proved by the Emperor, he finds them now, with
a few exceptions, at a standstill, opposed by the
Russian Camarilla, and, to a certain extent, by the
Poles themselves. For you must know that here,
under the very nose of the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, and in the face of this formidable display
of troops and police agents, there exists a Na-
tion Central Committee, invisible, it is true, but
all powerful ; issuing its decrees and regulations,
which are as strictly obeyed as if they were en-
forced by the Russian bayonets. The whole col-
lective wisdom of the Muscovite Government can-
not discover the members comprising this so-called
National Government, which levies its taxes upon
the inhabitants of the kingdom,publishes four clan-
destine papers, and is actively occupied with the
organisation of a national rising when due time
arrives. This committee has lately issued a mani-
festo to Europe, which, doubtless, will find its
place in the free press of England and France.
