POLAND.

utter more than a year of expectation, the Extraordinary
Tribunal, composed of Russian generals and magistrates of
Poland, and instituted for the purpose of trying the principal
actors in the Polish revolution, has at last pronounced judg-
tient. It is far more rigorous than it was thought it would be.
The members of the Government are condemned to death,
without excepting even the Generalissimo Shrzynecki, though
he only formed part of the Council in extraordinary cases.
No notice is taken of the second Generalissimo, Prince Mi-
chael Radziwill. This indulgence is attributed to the inter-
cession of the Court of Prussia, to which this Prince's family
is related. The Venerable Vincent Niemojowski is the only
member of the Government now in the country to whom this
barbarous sentence applies. All the rest have sought refuge
abroad. This heroic old man is, then, the onl victim left for
the tribunal ! y
On the publication of the sentence Prince Paskewitsch,
the Russian Viceroy, caused Niemojowski to be brought before
him loaded with chains, and proposed to him to implore the
Emperor's clemency, but the noble old man disdainfully re-
jected this counsel. We know, however, from an authentic
puree that Prince Paskewitsch asked the Emperor's pardon
r Niemojowski, attributing his obstinacy in refusing to ask
for it himself to mental alienation, the consequence of the
sufferings he had endured in his dungeon.
The same sentence condemns to death all those filling public
situations before the revolution who took part in the Regency
of Zakroczym. The catalogue of these is very large, for it
comprehends those Deputies who were enlisted among the
euebolriedinfaunctionaries. The kind of punishment varied also
to the degree of culpability. Some were to perish
by the sword, others by the gibbet, and the Judges have
stretched their barbarity so far, as to order the previous muti-
lation of those youths who gave the signal for the revolution
by attacking the Chateau de Belvedere.
stroTnhge arrival of Count Rozniecki in our town has produced a
sensation. Prince Paskewitsch received him with
Marked coldness. It seemed as if he regarded his presence
tonsarsaw as a mark of the Emperor's distrust, for his func-
of Senator in the department of the Affairs of Poland
should have detained him in St. Petersburgh.
This opinion seemed so much the better founded, inasmuch
R
zaisnd, oh gzanyliencki enjoys the entire confidence of the Emperor,
been chief of the high police, he is in a situation
°l...even controlling in an effectual manner the acts of the
Prince's Government.
Since the departure of Count Witt, whose influence at
Court so powerfully counterbalanced that of the Prince, no
surveillance could appear to him so disagreeable as that of
,Count Rozniecki. It was generally perceived that the Prince
vegan to lose his own confidence; many administrative and
financial measures proposed by the Council of State, which is
but the organ of the Lieutenant, had not obtained the Empe-
or's sanction. It is impossible to attribute this change on the
Part of the Monarch towards the Prince, whom he had invested
with full powers to act in regard to the affairs of Poland, to
anY other source than the revival of the influence of the Ger-
Parth represented at Court by the Emperor's friend, Ge-
neral Benkendorf.
The visit of the hereditary Prince of Prussia has powerfully
eoutributed to augment the influence of this coterie, to the
eases of
of whom he always refers whenever the necessity
arlles of adopting some political measure of high importance,
o'll' especially when a war appears inevitable. The confidence
arP Monarch reposes in this party, which is the rival of the
Istocratic party, is the result of its comprehending among
its numbers men of distinguished talent and high intellectual
FiaPabilities. But the crisis is no sooner over than he abandons
as much for his own preservation as in deference to the
,ealetis distrust of the opposite party. The Russian aristo-
taleY willingly consent to the Emperor's making use of the
eiit of foreigners in times of difficulty, but it can never look
oil without despite and see them share in times of peace the
;.?ience of the Monarch, to which they claim the exclusive
ii;gen.,,t•

SENTENCE OF DEATH AGAINST PRINCE
ADAM CZARTORYSKI.
br After having dwelt upon the different motives of the charges
ye,.,.buL against the five members of the national Polish Go-
luZlient, M. Poklenkowski, the General Procurator, conti-
of imPeacliing the Prince Adam Czartoryski, President

oThe ease of Prince Adam Czartoryski," he said, " is such
