TRANSPLANTATION OF FIVE THOUSAND FA-
MILIES OF POLISH GENTLEMEN, BY EACH
POLISH PROVINCE, ON THE LINE OF THE
CAUCASUS.
I -ORDER OF THE MINISTER OF FINANCES TO THE
GOVERNOR OF PODOLIA, OF THE DATE OF 9TH (21ST)
TV v.. 1831.
" His Majesty the Emperor has cotrleseended to pro-
nulga.e a supreme order to m ke the nec.-ssiry regulations
err transplanting, for the first time, 5,000 families of Po.
tish gentlemen, of the G,vernment of Pod Ur, to the
Steppes, under the control of the Treasury, an., by pre-
ference on ,he line, or in the di.tr ct of Catica‘u,, that
those thus transplanted may there be enrolled in the mili-
tary service.

" To carry into execution the above transpi rotation, it
's necessary to select—first, persons who took part in the
late insurrection ; those also who have been comprised in
the third class of offenders, and who have consequently ob-
tained the favour and pardon of his Majesty ; secondly,
those persons who, from their mode of life, in the opinion
.f the local authorities, excite the distrust of the Go-
vernment.
" According to this, your Excellency will make use of
-all necessary means (without publishing or making known
the tenor of this order), to resister the families who ught
to be transplanted, in order that ou may begin, without
delay, the execution of this order, ace,,rding to the rules
which will he ultimately communicated to you "

GIOVERNOR OF PODOLIA TO THE MINISTER OF FIN, N.
CRS, 29TH NOV. (11TH DEC.) 1831 :--
" 1 have had the honour m receiving your Excellency's
communication of the 9th November, No. 1.153, repro-
ducing the order of his Majesty for traasplanring five thou-
wind familet of Polish gentlemen, of the Government of
Podolia, to the uncultivated soil of Caucasus. lo ha-ten-
big to fulfil in the strictest manner this supremo wish,
consider it my duty to fix the attention of your Excellency
on the following points
The Polish gentl, men in the Government of P, dolls
may he divided into four classes—the first is the class of
proprietors ; the second are occupien, farmers, labourers,
arrizans ; the third are servants and other persons cm.
ployed by the proprietors; and the fourth are the rour-

sellors (anneals). lawyers, and the Wle inh4!.titants of
the towns. As to the first class, it promises notions good
for the prosperity of the count, y ; the second hat tak-r, no
great part in the late insurrection; the •hird, which is very
numerous, consists of persons who frequently go from one
place to another, from one district to another, and from
one Government to another, and who, having nothine to
lose, are not bound to any place, and who, in serving
the masters that p-y thew, are given up to all the
practices wtich are inimical to commerce and integrity
—mercenary servants, they are ready to perform any
orders of their employers ; ambitious in all their Vans,
they serve as machines, and were princip.illy accomplices
to the leaders of the revolt during the insurrection ; th, se
are dangerous persons, who may yet be very mischievous
in unforeseen circumstances It would be very beneficial,
irr every point of view, to depopulate the cowry of this
people. The counsellors and lawyers, whose interest it is
to prolong civil suit., and who acquire their fortunes to
the injury of the citizens, pessess so much the more in-
fluence over them ; and it is desirable for the good even of
this country that their number should be consid rably (L-
-tninished by transplantation.
