perate charge of the cavalry, which took place
near Vereia, between Prince Poniatowski and the
Hetman Pla,off, the Poles and Russians, ani-
mated by-.t mutual hatrA, fought with fury.--:
Ex,iited. by the trdour of the combat, theyeut
eacit.otfier tti- pieces, aniron all sides fell gi•eat
.men,. who had escaped many former battles,—
Platoff, who saw his best soldiers falling around
hint, fotgot the danger, and with an anxious eye
sought his. favourite son. But this unfortunate
father had nearly arrived_at that tlreadful moment
when lite is almost unsupporfable ; for the un-
fortunate younz man, returning from the heat
of the battle, while Making preparations to re-
new the attack, received a mortal wound from a
Pole.

" At this instant his father appeared, who,
flying to his assistance, threw himself upon him.
On seeing him, the son heaved a deep sigh, and
wished to express, for the last time, his affection
for a •beloved parent ; but on attempting to open.
his lips, he breathed his last. In the meantime
Plat..iff, who could not restrain- his tears, retired
to his tent, to give vent to his feelings. At that
moment, he even considered life 4 burden, and
could no linwer endure the light. The following
Looming, b;day-break, the. Chiefs of the, Cris-
sacks came to express their grief, and to request
that-they thight he perm tied to render funeral
hon'otirs to the son of their Hetman. Every one,
on- seeing this fine young Man-stretched:in a bear-
skin, respectfully kisse.l the band of a youth,
.who,• but for a_premature death,' would have
equalled-the• greatest heroes, by his valour, and
by his virtues. After having, according to their
religious rites, offered •fervent irayers for the re-
pose of his sold, they removed him from the pre-,
Bence of his fattier, in order'to carry him in so-
lemn procession to a neighbouring. eminence,
covered with cypress, where be WAS to be in-
terred.

The. Cossacks, all ranged in order of battle,
observed :a -religious silence, and bowed their
heads in profound-respect, while grief was painted
in every countenance. At the moment when the
earth was for ever to separate them from the, son
of their Prince, they fired a vo:ley over the grave.
Afterwards, holding their horses in their hands,
the► defiled aro'und. the 'tomb,. with their lances
pointed towards the earth."

We cannot dwell upon the scenes which follow.
The acts of infernal hell-hounds were punished
in the most signal maimer, and divine vengeance
was not slow in asserting its justice. A few
examples of both, however, we cannot refrain,
from giving, and w:th these shall close our notice
of this work.
