TREATY OF VIENNA.

Lord BEAUMONT rose to call the attention of their Lord-
ships to the subject of which he had given notice, with reference
to events which had taken place in Cracow and its neighbour,.
hood, and the violation of the treaty of Vienna. lie founded
his claim to the attention of their Lordships en three grounds—
first, upon the ground of necessity to enforce those treaties to
which this was a party; secondly, upon the great question of
political interest and the great European question of the ba-
lance of power with which it was involved; and, thirdly, upon
the broad ground of humanity, because the events to which
he referred had taken place in flagrant violation of common
law, and the rights of humanity, and of civilisation, such as he
trusted would never be again repeated, and which, he
believed, if their Lordships took np the question,
as they were bound to do, never would occur again.
Their Lordships were aware that a special treaty had been
entered into with Vienna by Russia arid Austria, and he main-
tained that the treaty had been violated in its letter and its
spirit. lie referred to events which occurred so early as the
month of January, when reports were circulated of an out-
break being apprehended in Vienna. When there was an ap-
prehension of an outbreak, the conduct of Austria differed ma-
terially from that of Prussia. Prussia, when made aware of
the circumstances, took steps to arrest and prevent the antici-
pated outbreak, anal those who were likely to take part in it
were arrested. In Austria no such precautions were taken to
arrest suspected persons, or put a cheek to the outbreak by
placing troops in a position to crush it at the moment of its
rising. Towards the 17th of February the murmurs of an
outbreak increased. Cracow, it should be recolletecd, was a per-
fectly independent power—as independent as France or any
other country. The Government might have been alarmed,
and expressed that alarm to Austria, but at this time no
dangerous proceedings took place ; but on the 18th,
to the astonishment of every person in Cracow, an Austrian
army, under the command of General Collin, marched into
the town. A sudden pause was thus put to trade, commerce,
and amusements, and the people stood aghast with astonish-
ment. On the 19th no extraordinary event took place fur-
ther, but the general consternation of the inhabitants. Severe
orders were no doubt issued by the authorities, preventing the
people from being out of their houses aft ±r certain hours. On
the 20th, for the first time, something like a disturbance took
place on the people returning from the theatre, and persons
in different parts of the town were arrested. On the 21st some-
thing more serious took place. A restaurant, headed by seve-
ral persons, barricaded his doors, and fired from the windows
on the troops, who were immediately assembled. One or two
persons were found with arms in their hands, and were taken
in arrest. All of these distarbances, trifling as they were, being
concocted by same twenty or thirty persons, were thus entirely
suppressed and put down, and that with the greatest facility.
On the 22d, which was Sunday, the churches were ordered
to be closed, and no service was allowed, and the shops were
all closed. The troops were marchrd through the town at
different periods of the day, and one or two accidents
took place. An unfortunate man, who was cleaning a lamp,
was shot for beir g out against orders. With the exception of
that trifling circumstance, nothing worthy of remark took
place. The people were perfectly quiet, and the greatest
astonishment and alarm prevailed over all Cracow. Shortly
afterwards General Collin evacuated Cracow with the whole
of his force, with all the police, the three residents, the whole
of the Goverr ment, the bishops, and every single employe
in the pace; down to the lowest faquires that swept the public
offices. Cracow was then left without a single authority of
any kind ; without any force to protect it ; not even a sentinel
at the prisons; without a single person responsible, in a terri-
tory containing a population of 130,000. For some hours it
remained so, when one or two of the most respectable persons
attempted to form a sort of provisional Government, which
took means to keep things in a state of calm and quiet, until
they perceived what had taken place on the exterior of Cracow.
This was on the 22d, and on the 23d, the short lived provi-
sional Government was put down. A new system was then
put up by five or six individuals, who were the suspected
persons, and who had been allowed to enter from Gelicie, and
had passed the General on the way. They formed a revo-
lutionary Government, they issued all sorts of proclamations of
equality and the division of land, and excited the lower classes
of people to rise against their masters. In the territory of Cra-
cow no persons rose against their masters, and not a single attack
was made, netwithstandinglthe misconduct of the Government.
All the people behaved perfectly well, and though many left
their doors open, not a single robbery took place. The
Noble Lord then proceeded to relate the recent outbreak which
occurred at Cracow, and which has already appeared in Tire
Sun at length. On the second of the month, a Circassian
regiment of the Russian army entered the city, and were re-
ceived with open arms by the citizens, who considered that
they were a safety guard from the power of the Austrian
Government. But after a short time the Russians and the

Prussians withdrew, the arms of the residents were taken
down, and Cracow has ever since remained garrisoned )y the
Austrians, and held by that power as an Austrian town. Now,
that was what he termed a violation of the treaty of Vienna.
The Noble Lord then read several translations from Polish

documents encouraging the peasantry to rise in arms. The
consequence of these placards was, that the peasantry did arise,
and marauders ravaged the country ; and a person.of the name
of Silas, with a band of about 100 men, murdered hundreds
after hundreds, took castle after castle, and pillaged them.
Amongst the slaughtered were the names of the highest fami-
lies, against whom not even a suspicion of guilt had been at-
tached. He acquitted the Austrian Government of any know-
ledge of these circumstances, but he did contrast their conduct
with that of Prussia, where an outbreak was expected, yet
where, in consequence of the good measures which had been
taken, no bloodshed occurred. He had seen letters from the
survivors of these massacres ; he had seen a letter from the
daughter of one of these noble families, who was
the sole relict of her murdered family. He had
seen, also, a letter from others, who were also survivors,
which would harrow up the feelings of their Lordships.
Hatred was fomented between the peasantry and
the nobles, and thus it was that the appeal to the peasantry
was so fully answered. The nobles were compelled to carry
into effect the most ungracious laws, and he made that a charge
against the Austrian Government. With regard to the Poles,
who were called the Emigration, he believed that they were
nearly all totally ignorant of these transactions, although there
miyht be some of them who were cognisant of them. He was
of opinion, however, that there ought to be a distinction made
between them. He would not trouble their Lordships any fur.
ther, but would conclude by asking for the production of any
correspondence between her Majesty's Government and the
other three Governments with respect to the circumstances to
which he had referred ; and ho trusted that the Noble Vis-
count now at the head of foreign affairs would exert himself to
the utmost to prevent a recurrence of these shocking trans-
act ions.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE complimented the Noble
Lord for the manner in which he referred to the circumstances
which had taken place in Dalmatia and Cracow, and he con-
curred with him that a right, and more than aright—a duty—
devolved upon the Government, who were parties to the inde-
pendent existence of Cracow, to see that its independence
should, under all circumstances, be preserved. No person
could lament more deeply than he did that anything should
have occurred to afford a justification for the imputation of in-
terference with that independence. He was bound to say that all
these calamities had their origin with a number of refugees who
had taken up their residence in Cracow, and who, in the con-
spiracy in which they were engaged, had more exten-
sive objects in view than the affairs of Cracow.
In fact, the conspiracy was such as to cause
the greatest alarm in the neighbouring states. These states,
finding that overtures were made to extend the conspiracy all
over the country, and as the authorities of Cracow had made
application to them, interfered and occupied Cracow. As to
the retirement of the Austrian soldiers from Cracow, he could
not offer any explanation. The three powers had, however, in
March last, occupied Cracow, and continued in possession of it
ever since. It did not matter, in his opinion, which of the
three powers occupied Cracow, provided it was done by their
joint consent.—("Hear, hear," from the Duke of Wellington. )
Conferences had taken place between the three powers, and
he trusted the period would soon arrive when Cracow would be
restored to that independence which she was entitled to enjoy
under the treaty of Vienna. There could be no objection to
give the Noble Lord the correspondence which he wished. He
would have stopped there, had not the Noble Lord referred to
what had taken place in Galicia. He had to say, in reference
to that country, that whatever might be his opinion of the
scenes enacted there, they were not such as to justify any inter-
ference on the part of this Government with the Government
which ruled that province. He was bound to say that the
transaction which took place. there arose from the mismanage-
ment of the local authorities, and were not entirely chargeable
to the Government of Vienna. He therefore trusted that the
Government Of Austria would take such steps as would prevent
the recurrence of these horrid transactions. He had no reason
to complain of the terms in which the Noble Lord treated the
subject ; and he had no objection to comply with his motion for
the production of the correspondence between her Majesty's
Government and the three courts of Vienna, Petersburgh, and
Berlin.
The Duke of WELLINGTON, being a Member of her
Majesty's Goverment when these occurrences took place, was
hound to say that there was a violation of the treaty, which
must be explained by these powers. With respect to the re-
public of Cracow, the treaty of Vienna was very peremptory—
that that city shonld not be occupied with the troops of any of
the three powers. When that treaty, however, was drawn up,
the existing state of things was never contemplated; that there
should be committees sitting in the principal cities of Europe,
plotting an insurrection against the actual existing Government,
even in the very city of Cracow. The authorities of Cracow, and
the agents of the three protecting powers, acquired information
that a conspiracy existed, not only in the republic of Cracow,
but in the neighbouring countries of Posen, and Galicia, and
even in the Duchy of Warsaw. He did not attempt to say, or
know, what measures of precaution the Government did take,
and he was sure that very few in the country could judge what
measures it was in their power to take, or what measures they
ought to have taken. But this he did say, that the measure
adopted, was one which was contrary to the treaty, and could
only be justified by the exigencies of the time, namely, the state
of intrigue going on in Cracow, the daily expectation of a rising
there, and the state of disturbance in which all the neighbouring
provinces of Galicia and the Duahies of Posen and Warsaw
were. That was the cause of moving troops into Cracow,
which troops the Noble Lord said himself it was found neces-
sary to withdraw the day after they arrived there. Whether
it was necessary on account of the apprehension ofa
revolution existing in Cracow, or on account of the insurrection
behind them in Galicia, he did not pretend to judge; but it
was necessary to withdraw them, and that withdrawal occa-
sioned the subsequent events in Cracow. The Austrian Go-
vernment was not to be blamed for that. They were not to be
blamed for sending an army—he believed that there were not
more than 5,0 f 0, a brigade, under General Collin, but not what
k usually called an army—into Cracow. Then the NobflearLaorodt
the
thought proper to blame the Austrian Government
taking precautions, and for not carrying .on oepnetrations in
a particular manner in Galicia. Ile believed that he must say
he did not think it material, and he did not know whether oae
Government had enabled them to judge what those operations
ought to have been, or what the fault of the Austrian Govern-
ment had been on this subject. Neither the subject on which
the Noble Lord blamed the Austrian Government, nor
that on which he had extolled the Prussian Government
( which he did not at all doubt deserved praise ), had
anything to do with these transactions. They had nothing to
do with the merits of the arrangement made by Parliament,
but were the defects of the Austrian Government. What
they had to do- was simply with the breach of the treaty '
which, if any breach of any treaty could be justified, it jwas
this very one, but it made them fully accountable for ail that

province of Galicia—the theatre of war,
and it might have

or a small body of troops in Cracow. At one time, as the
Noble Lord stated himself, there were
only a small body of
Russian troops ; these were jo:ne d immediately by a body of
Austrians, and again by a body of Prussians. The
troops of Prussia, the troops of Russia, and of *Austria
provinces
were in operation in the three rt'ovemps of the samecessurrunding
Cracow, while these three bodies of
nations were in Cracow. It was not convenient to leave all
these troops in the town of Cracow. Some of them were
withdrawn, and the Austrians were left alone; and it was not
to be supposed that because these Austrian troops were left
alone in Cracow, that therefore the independence of the town
was destroyed and made over to the Emperor of Austria. It
• was a military occupation for a moment, the occupation hap-

pened to be convenient to the operations of the three armies
at the time, they having no political object in view in any
manner affecting the independence of Cracow. He really did
not know what the existing arrangements were, nor what the
future one was to be. What he understood, when in her
Maj,sty's Cabinet was, that the Sovereign had under discus-
sion measures for re-establishing the independent government
of the town of Cracow, and tor placing it in a state of inde-
pendence, and of course the old a: titles of the treaty would be
revived, " that no troops would on any account be placed in
that town." He understood that that had been the result of
the communication and arrangements. He was certain that
with regard to this question it would be better for that Howe
to adhere strictly to those points in which this country had a
right to interfere, and not a step further with th. internal
government of other parts of the country under the adminis-
ration of different Governmen.s.

Lord KINNAIRD thought that the evacuation and oc-
upation of Cracow had never been properly explained. lie
elieved it to have been done with a siew of bringing any
onFpiracy to a head. The cruelties which had peen cum-
flitted were known in many instances to have received the
tanetion of the Government of Vienna, or at least of their sub-
trelinate officers, and be thought that a remonstrance on the part
of this country would have much weight in preventing
sitniLr occurrences its future.

The motion was then agreed to with the amendment.
Several Bills were then forwarded a stage, and their Lord-
ships adjourned until Thursday next.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAN SION-HOUSE.
The justice-room was crowed by persons who were
anxious to see Janes Fitzsinnon, the man charged with
having robbed the Lord Mayor of a gold watch and
appendages on Monday week, at the Blackwall Railway
station. The curiosity was the stronger as it was
known that the prisoner has been for some time distin-
guished as a prominent member of the swell mob, and
that he had been brought before the Lord Mayor him-
self a few months ago, in the custody of Daniel -For-
rester, from Masterman's hank, where he had been
watching for victims.
The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Holder,
walked into the bar with great confidence.
The following was the additional evidence:—
Mr. James Hartley, of Bridge-street, Blackfriars,
solicitor, stated that he was standing with the Lord
Mayor when the prisoner and the smaller man, who was
described by the other witnesses, were together, close to
his Lordship. Witness fixed his eyes upon the two
men the moment they came out of the carriage on the
railway.
The prisoner (to the witness)—Come, come, speak up
,o that every one may hear you. ,
The witness—They came suddenly in front of his
Lordship. In a moment the shorter man disappeared.
Then the Lord Mayor cried out that he was robbed.
From the manner in which they both acted, it was quite
evident to me that they were acting in concert together,
and I at once judged, from their appearance, that they
were bad characters.
The prisoner—Oh, dear ! so you know a thief by his
looks, do you ?
Alderman GIBBS—Did you observe them in conversae
tion ? Witness—Certainly.
The prisoner—State what you heard us say. If you
thought us bad characters, you ought to have listened to
what we said.
Mr. Hartley said he did not hear the conversation.
Alderman GlBBS—Should you be able to identify the
companion of the prisoner ? Witness—No doubt of it.
Mr. Wood, who gave evidence on the day of the first
examination, said the prisoner was in concert with the
person who stole the Lord Mayor's watch, if not the
actual thief.
Mr. Hobler—Did you see the prisoner attempt to
escape ? Mr, Hartley—l did not see that. I saw
from their general appearance that they were pick-
pockets, and I said so.
The prisoner shook his head contemptuously.
Mr. alobler—Had you seen them before ? Witness
—No.
Mr. John Hall, of Bishopsgate-street-without, ware-
houseman, confirmed the statements made by the other
witnesses, in which the prisoner and the shorter man
were described as being in connexion. The witness was
behind the Lord Mayor when he saw the prisoner and
his companion close to his Lordship. When the Lord
Mayor called the police the prisoner shrunk back.
Here the prisoner, at the desire of Alderman Gibbs,
put on his hat.
Alderman GIBBS—Put it more completely on your
head.
The prisoner—l can't, my head's too big. The hat
is just as I wear it always. What more can be wanted ?
Alderman Glans—ls there any one else here who
has anything to say against the prisoner ?
Mr. John James Harris, watch manufacturer, of East
Smithfield, here stepped forward, and said that he had a
charge to make against the prisoner. Ile then stated
that on last Friday week, at half-past eight o'clock in
the evening, a person of gentlemanly appearance, and
taller than the prisoner walked into the shop and asked
to see some patent gold levers. Witness showed him
three, and he wished to see still better, and spoke about
not taking any Geneva watches, or any watch not of
English make. Witness then handed him a fourth watch,
with a heavy gold chain. There was a lady in the shop
at the time, who was known to the witness, and who
was looking at ear-rings, and at that moment the pri-
soner entered and pushed roughly by the lady to reach
the party who was looking at the watches. In an instant,
by a wonderful sleight of hand, the watch and chain
disappeared, and the prisoner too followed by his com-
panion.
Alderman Ginns.--What did the prisoner say upon
entering the shop ? Witness—When he squeezed by
the lady to get to the place where the party was looking
at the watches, he said to me, " Mr. Harris, what do you
charge for cleaning a patent lever 2" I replied, 45., and
the prisoner went out, and after hire went the other
party, and so rapidly was the thin °. done that they were
out of the shop before I discovered that the watch was off.
Mr. Hobler—Was the prisoner the person who took
the watch ? Witness—One of them had it.
Mr. Hobler—Did you see the person touch the watch
at all ? Witness—l say there was extraordinary sleight
of hand made use of, and one of them certainly took the
watch.
Alderman GlBBS—Should you know the tall man ?
Witness—Directly.
The prisoner—l am entirely innocent of both of these
charges.
Miss Susanna Harris said she was in the shop when
the prisoner entered the shop, and asked her father what
he would charge for cleaning a patent gold lever. She
was positive the prisoner was the man, and she was con-
fident that she saw the other man hand the prisoner
something.
The prisoner—The witness before you did not say
anything of that kind.
Miss Susanna Harris—l know you are the man. I
saw the tall man hand something to you, and you went
out directly, and he followed you.
The prisoner—You don't know whether the tall one
or the little one took the watch? Miss S. Harris--I am
confident the tall man handed something to you, and
you went out immediately, followed by him, and the
watch was then missed. The young lady added that
' Mr. Gardiner, a neighbour, had seen the prisoner and
the tall man looking in at the watches through the
window and talking together.
Alderman GIBBS asked whether the lady who was in
the shop looking at the earrings could give any evidence?
Mr. Harris replied that he supposed she could not, as
she was so much occupied with the earrings.
Miss Mary Ann Harris, another of Mr. Harris's
daughters, stated that as she was passing through the
shop, she saw the prisoner distinctly, and heard him ask
her father what he would charge for cleaning a gold
patent lever. She looked at the prisoner*, and the pri-
soner looked at her.
Mr. Hobler—Did you ever see him before ? Witness
—Never.
Alderman Grans—ls there any body else here who
has anything to say against the prisoner?
Here a lady in deep mourning stepped forward and
said, I should not like to swear, but I am almost con-
vinced that that is the countenance of the man who
robbed me of 421., at a banking-house, in Pall-mall
East, on Monday week. I w as at the time in a state of
great agitation, having just left my husband
on his death bed. I think three of them followed me
into the banking-house. I had two distinct views of the
prisoner. He had pushed the door open for her as she
entered, and he also pushed it open for her as she retired.
Alderman GIBBS—Can you swear to his identity ?
The lady-4 should not like to swear to him. I think I
can swear to him. The face is exactly that face.
The prisoner—I never saw the lady before.
Mr. Hobler—You know that there are many faces
exactly alike. The lady—l do not. I have never seen
two countenances exactly alike. I do not think it is in
human nature.
The prisoner said that all who had spoken against him
laboured under mistakes. He had done none of these
things at all.
Alderman GIBBS remanded the prisoner till Thursday
next.

on Saturday last,
on a charge of having savagely assaulted a female,
named Mary Ann Perkins, of Marlborough-house,
Peel-
ishain, in the month of February last, was placed at
the bar before Mr. Elliott for further examination.
Mr. Cochrane, the chairman, and Mr. Jones, the
secretary, of the " Poor Man's Guardian Society," were
present, with Mr. Humphreys, the solitor, to prosecute ;
and Mr. Games was in attendance to watch the
proceedings on behalf of Mr. Richards, the proprietor
of Marlborough-house, where the assault had been
committed.
Mr. Humphreys, who attended on behalf of the
"Poor Man's Guardian Society," which society had
humanely taken up the case, stated the particulars of
the murderous assault, and called the following witnesses
to prove it.
Maria Dennis deposed that in the month of February
last, she was en inmate of Marlborough. house, Peckham,
and also a nurse of the casual ward. Early in the
morning of a day, the date of which she could not re-
collect, she heard violent screams of " murder proceed
from the ward, and upon going to see what was the
matter she saw the prisoner violently ill-using another
woman. The prisoner had her hands entangled in the '
hair of the young woman, and pulling it different
ways. She also knocked her head against a wall, and
pulled a handful of hair out of her head, so that there

was a large place bare, and she bled profusely. The
prisoner threatened to do for the young woman, and the
latter appeared anxious to get cut of the place so as to be
out of her reach.
Mr. Humphreys—Now look at this young woman,
and tell me whether she is the person who was ill-used
iu the violent manner you have d,:suibed by the pri-

scaler.
Witness---I cannot say she is the same person; if it
is, she is very much altered, but I have some recollec-
tion of having seen that person before. The witness
further stated that many trifling robberies had been
committed on the paupers about the time of the assault,
and that she understood that the cause of the prisoner's
attack on the young woman was her being detected
stealing some money.
John Dennis, the husband of the last witness, de-
posed that he had much difficulty- in disengaging the
hands of the prisoner from the hair of the other women.
Mr. Humphreys—Look at this woman, and tell me
whether sl.e ;s the person who was ill-used.
Witness—l cannot swear she is the same person.
Clerk—You did so when a te arrant So apprehend the
prisoner had been applied for.
Mr. ELLIOTT—Is she the same person to the best Of
your belief ? Witness—To the best of my belief she is•
The witness proceeded to say that the young women
was very much injured, and so violent were the threats
of the prisoner, and the terror of the other woman eves
so great, that he was glad to get rid of her, so ho gav°
her some dry bread, and let her out at the gate.
Mr. Humphreys—And kept the prisoner in. Wit'
ness—Yes, sir.
Mr. Humphreys—So that the person who was treated
in this savage manner you turned out, and kept 013 .

Mr. ELLIOTT—Did you send for the police? Wanes°
—No, sir.
Mr. ELLIOTT—WeII, I must say, that it was a very
odd and extraordinary proceeding. Were there no per'
sons in charge of this place at the time ? Witness--'
Yes, sir; Mr. Richards was in the house at the timer
but not present, and I did not consult him or any boa'
itlse before I let the young woman out.
Mary Ann Perkins, the complainant, was next called
and sworn.—The unfortunate woman presented a Miff
wretched appearance. She had a large bald patch 00
the front part of her head, and it is very doubtful
whether she will ever recover the effects of the pl.'',
soner's brutality. She deposed that she was the wife "'•
Thomas Perkins, who had deserted her. She was in the
habit of going to Marlborough-house occasionally t.
sleep, and was there in the beginning of February. SI):
(witness), prisoner, and a third woman slept in the sere'
bed one night, and on the following morning when ad
were getting up, the prisoner accused her of stealing 14(1.
from another pauper in the ward, and instantly coer
menced an attack upon her. She seized her by tie
hair of the front part of her head, and knockol
the back of her head repeatedly against tb:
wall. She also drew a quantity of hair from the fro
part of her head, so as to occasion the bald
places then
perceptible. While the prisoner was ill-using her Ail
Dennis came into the ward and called out to her to IL'

soner was so furious that it was with much difficulty su:

she was anxious to avoid her fury, and asked the It

or tour times in five years, and had always to the thr

leaving Marlborough-house she was bleeding very wee./
and very faint and ill, but she made the best of her
to Guy's Hospital, where she remained about five week'
She left before she was at all recovered,and subsequer
went into the Westminster Hospital, where she ';
mained for some time. She did not give her real name
at either of those hospitals, nor did she tell the 114

cause of her injuries to the medical men who attended
her. There was nothing whatever the matter with
up to the time when she was ill used by the prisoneil:
but since then she had suffered much from her be ;d
and was not well yet. In conclusion, the witness said
she did not wish to do anything to hurt the prisoner,
as she had behaved to her.

as

for a long time supposed to be dead. It appeared 10.0
