An article from Nuremberg, extracted from the
Leipsic journals, informs us of disturbances in
Silesia. Would to Heaven that they were gene-
ral in the subjugated .portieu of the Continent!
The insurgents are 'called " brigands'," but we
'are assured they are.worthy .f a better name,
and fight frOm a hallowed impulse. . They are
peasantry who have,been ruined by the exactions
of the French military, and haVe taken- arms
against the oppressors of their country. That
they are formidable We cannot doubt, from the
terms:in which they- are spoken of; 'and that their
cause is good, may be concluded from the circun,-
stance, Chat one of their leaders was an Oicet.
