its root in the Russian army. Since the trial and
execution of Tarcszynski, Ryll, and Rzonca, legal
summonses have been issued to their accomplices,
Chrnielenski and Rodoniz, to present them,e; ves at
the first police station in the kingdom within six
weeks from the day of notice, and enjoining all
those who may either hide them, or know of their
place of abode, to report them at once to the nearest
authorities. Hitherto this injunction has remained,
and doubtless will remain, without effect. No
sensible man here is prepared to sanction or tole-
rate an assassination, still there are gradations even
in crime, and the attempt made by these misguided
young boys cannot be classed among the premedi-
tated acts of this kind. Oppressed more and more
every day, mocked by the Government in their
belief that reforms will be introduced, but
which have never been given, and thus
driven to despair, they were, in an excess
of frenzy, led to suppose that the death of the
Grand Duke Constantine and the Marquis Wielo-
polski would bring an amelioration in the present
state of things—a fatal delusion which those boys
have had to expiate on the scaffold. It is, there-
fore, not surprising that the people should look upon
them as martyrs, since they were provoked by the
tyranny of the Government to perpetrate these san-
guinary deeds, however much they are disapproved.
Let us hope that the Government will take a les-
son also from this dramatic performance, and treat
the Poles with candour and honesty, which they
have expected for a long time.

As to the plot mentioned above, it is asserted by
the official journal, Dziennk, Powszechny, that a do-
cument embodying a plan, with the minutest de-
tails of a first-rate organisation, had been discovered
in the possession of Col. Dombrowski, a Pole, who,
by circumstances over his control, was compelled to
serve in the Russian army. The organisation is
pronounced by the Russians, who are no small
authority in these matters, to be a perfection, and
had it been carried out prudently, would have
proved a most serious embarrassment to
the Government. The details are so numerous that
it would hardly be within the limits of a short let-
ter to give them, and as Col. Dombrowski has been
arrested, and it is even said already executed, the
interest of this occurrence has sensibly diminished.
Meantime this is a godsend to the police and the
military, who are worse than ever in ill-treating
and provoking the most innocent persons in the
streets, visiting the houses in the night, removing
by violence people from their beds and carrying
them to the citadel; in fact, any species of tyranny
is practised by this force in spite of the presence of
the Grand Duke Constantine. His Imperial High-
ness, to hear others speak, appears well disposed,
and is willing to concede more than his Minister,
the Marquis Wielopolski, would permit. The old
Marquis, who is not without some merit, poseesses
all the vices of the old Polish aristocracy--pride,
violence of temper, and a lose for adulation, three
cardinal virtues which the Poles of the present
generation do not appreciate, and which
are a stumbling-stone to all reconcilia-
tion. The ridiculous order of the Mar-
quis to the employes of the Government
to wear no other but cylindrical hats, has been
severely commented upon by the Grand Duke, and
I believe is not now so much insisted upon. The
schools are to be open on the Ist proximo, but
nothing is heard of the University of Warsaw—
another great disappointment to the country—for
what is to become of those young men who have
waited so long to complete their education. As
said before, promises there are plenty, and that is
all that we get.

A domiciliary visit was made in the house of the
brother of Mr. Selenker, recently liberated, whose
son was despatched to the Citadel. Others were
likewise arrested, among•whora are M. Gizyski, two
public functionaries, MM. Chadzynski and Stami-
rowski, and the students Zakrzewski and Keno.
The same visits were also made in the quarters
of several Russian officers, and a watch is kept
over their movements during the evening.
As if to show a disposition to leniency, a few
who, many years ago, were sent to Siberia, re-
ceived permission to return home, and the estates
confiscated to the father of the present Count
Stanislas Octrowski have been partly returned to
his son.

The old castle, once the residence of the Polish
Kings, is undergoing a thorough change for the
reception of the Grand Duke Constantine. A
Russian architect sent from St. Petersburgh to
direct and superintend these alterations has taken
to heart to destroy all the reliefs representing the
reminiscences of Polish Kings and national glory,
and to replace them by embellishments partaking
of the Pompadour style. The Grand Duke Con-
stantine showed, in this instance, his personal
feeling for the Poles, by ordering Polish workmen
alone to be employed in the renovation of the
castle.

The Russian soldiers who, at last, were taught.
reading, have now been forbidden to learn it any
more, it having been discovered too dangerous a
course to put them in a position to read the revolu-
tionary proclamations and papers which have
penetrated among the lowest ranks of the Musco-
vite army.
