communicated to them his project immediately te,ree
franchise all the peasants from personal servitude. ,:inn
peasants would then be in precisely the same coet,-,0
as the Poles and the people of the Baltic. Most of t

and a number of the chief nobles, is said to have 0516-
positively that things should remain in their Pose°s
state."
