WARSAW, JUNE 15.

Although the appointment of the Grand Duke
Constantine to the post of the Lieutenant of this
kingdom is a fact of public notoriety, as also the
nomination of the Marquis Wielopolski at the head
of the civil administration, and the removal from
their places of several high functionaries, yet in
reality nothing has been changed. General Luders,
the present governor, in announcing at the sitting
of the Council of State, this, as he termed it, " fresh
boon of the Imperial solicitude for the good of the
country," and invoking the nation to receive it with
gratitude, has, however, himself taken great care to
make the most of the authority he now exercises
till the arrival of his Imperial successor. Thus, the
tyranny, persecutions, and vexations, seem to run
riot in Warsaw. Young ladies, high-born and
well educated, have been imprisoned on the charge
of singing the hymn, and torn away from their
mothers and relations,to he transported, Godknows
where, viithout a parent's blessing or a parting
farewell. Priests are being hunted and despatched,
and even a gentleman, named Nowakowski, who
had been imprisoned, tried, and acquitted by the
High Court of Appeal, composed of three Rus
sians, and two Poles, and. the proceedings thereof
approved by the Emperor himself, instead of being
set at liberty was purely by General Luder's per-
sonal order, transported to a fortress in Russia.
Would anyone in France or England credit such
arbitrary and-despotic conduct, and yet it is an un-
deniable fact. To have an idea of what a Russian
Governor is, one must see him and witness his
actions. In view of such a state of things and such
sufferings, it is not surprising that some of the
higher classes would he disposed to welcome Con-
stantine, provided he showed himself true and
honest, qualities so rare in the Russian monarchs,
that even their relatives are often in want of them.
But will this change give universal satisfaction,
even if the Constitution of 1815 were to be entirely
restored. My impression is, that as long as the
other ancient Polish provinces remain in stutu quo,
the Polish language excluded, the old statutes ol
self local government abrogated, the Poles in this
little Kingdom will never be quiet or contented.
A few changes of persons will not be enough. If
the Emperor has any wisdom and is actuated by
geed disposition towards the Poles, ha will do welt
to reconcile them now, as when his own Russian
subjects begin in earnest he will have to,
give up even his throne. Already a silent
but a terrible revolution is breaking out in his
capital, manifesting itself in the large and
frequent fires which threaten to consume the whole
of St. Petersburg. The people, impatient and in
furiated at their oppressed condition, deceived on
the often repeated, but never fulfilled, promises of
their amelioration, unable to cope with the military
•hordes weighing upon them, have adopted a system
of reducing all to ashes, of making a desert of the
country, and of erecting on the heaps a new social
edifice. It appears that this slow but devouring
element has thrown the Czar and his family into
a great consternation. There was no other means
to show the Russians and the Poles the Czar's in-
trigues than to promulgate several conciliatory
measures, and the appointment of a fresh Polish
Vice-Roy is one of them. Another pill adminis-

tered to the Emperor is the agitation exercised
among his army. It is kncwn that many eminent
Russian writers, and the more enlightened class of
the population, are opposed to the annexation of
Poland to Russia, and urge, most strongly, its aban•
donment, as it is a source of eternal commotion to both
countries and of a ruinous expense to Russia, both in
men and money, and of incessant rivalry among the

camerilla and the military, as to who will go to
Poland to oppress and to persecute most.
These people have widely' circulated in the army
the following address, printed in St. Petersburg,
by the clandestine press, which being worthy of
public notice, I subjoin here translated into Eng-
lish:—

" To THE RLI.S'SIAN TROOPS IN POLAND.

" Brethren ! the time for a rising in Poland ap-

proaches. Again they strive to make you the exe-
cutioners of the Poles. Do not obey. Even if you
conquered the Poles, your victories would cover you
with shame, and yciu will have to blush at your
bravery. It is difficult to wash away the blood of
011eti own kindred ; do not take this sin a second
time to your soul, do not accept the brand of Cain,
which, if you do, will for ever adhere to you.
" We know that you will not, of your own free
will, march against the Poles; but this will be the
very occasion to show that it is now time for you
to have a wilkof your own. It is not easy to force
tens of thousands of men, armed from head to foot,
to do anything against their will, if there is any-
thing like unanimity among them. The peasants
of a certain province once rose in rebellion ; the

troops were called out—yet the people did not dis-
perse. The General scolded them and ordered his
troops to load, the latter obeyed, thinking it was
with the view of frightening the people. Still the
people did not yield. The General then made a
sign to the Colonel to order the troops to fire. The
Colonel gave the wort of command ; the soldiers
lowered their arms and remained fixed to thethsipnot

nation ; and should destruction await you in con-
sequence, it will he for a holy cause; you will fall
victims to your desire to save, and from your
martyr's blood will arise a free and unshakeable
union between Poland andßussia, as the beginning
of the free union a all Sc:avonians in an earthly

burg Free Press.

It can easily be imagined that with such a feel-
ing of discontent, the Czar was obliged to try his
brother's ability in Poland, having first rewarded
General Luders for his ill-treatment of the Poles
by creating him a Russian Count (they are as
plentiful in Russia as blackberries), and beStowing
him a pension for life of 36,000 roubles out of the
Polish Treasury. The game has cost the Poles
rather dear.
