WARSAW.
THORN, APRIL 11.
On Tuesday night last the Russian troops were
encamped in the squares of Warsaw. The public
buildings were also occupied by the military. All
the shops, workshops, and offices were closed. Great
crowds of people were assembled in the streets, but
it was forbidden them to stand still. The national
costume and mourning are no longer to be seen.
No newspapers are published. Among the per-
sons killed and wounded in the recent disturbances
were several women and children. At present all
is quiet.
The following proclamation has been issued by
Prince Gortschakoff :
" The numerous appeals that I have made to you
have remained without effect. Yesterday was a
day of mourning for us both on account of the fol-
lowing events.
" Already, the day before yesterday, various
demonstrations were made by the masses, who would
not listen to my words. Yesterday, at half-past 6
in the evening, a considerable crowd assembled on
the Sigismund-square. To put a stop to the
demonstrations a company of infantry, supported
by gendarmes and Cossacks in reserve, were ordered
to intervene; but they were preceded by a func-
tionary of the police, who, to the sound of the drum,
called upon the crowd to disperse. After a first
summons, he made a second 10 minutes afterwards,
and then, after another delay of 10 minutes, he
made a third.
" The order had been given to disperse the crowd
by mounted gendarmerie without using their swords
and that the infantry was only to act in case the
troops were attacked.
" Two charges of the gendarmerie sufficed to
disperse the crowd, without a mishap ; but the
boldest of the band returned in numbers, and
pelted the troops with stones. The commander ol
the troops remarked a man of tall stature who ap-
peared to be the leader of the band. He ordered
him to be captured, which was not effected without
an obstinate struggle.
" At this juncture a body of men, led Iby a man
carrying a cross, arrived on the spot from the Cra-
cow faubourg, singing a song. A half company
dispersed this body without using their arms. A
compact body now approached from the Rue des
Senateurs and struck up a song. The Cossacks or•
dered to disperse it were strictly ordered not to use
their weapons. This body was dispersed at first
without an accident. But as soon as the Cossacks
had retired behind the infantry, the crowd advanced
again and pelted them with stones and bricks. At
the same time an attempt was made to barricade
the entrances to the Podwall and Senator streets,
by accumulating hackney coaches and droschkis,
so that the military commandant was obliged, after
a renewed shower of stones, to order his men to fire.
To prevent the crowd increasing, which refused to
withdraw, he ordered three volleys to be fired.'
" According to the reports returned as yet ten
inhabitants and two soldiers have been killed ; 70
persons have been arrested. By such acts mis-
guided and incorrigible men disturb us in the
solemn moments devoted to the labour and deve-
lopment of the institutions granted with benevo-
lence by his Majesty to the country.
" The Council of Administration has issued an
ordonnance respecting the disturbances, which I
publish.

" I shall not submit the persons arrested to-day
to trial by court-martial ; but they will be tried
according to the terms of the ordonnance issued
to-day, which will be carried out to the letter.
" In the name of God, in the name of the respect
due to the Sovereign, to public order, to the wel-
fare and honour of the country, I beseech you to
consider, for if this new law does not suffice to calm

' the madness of those who are leading you to your
destruction, I shall feel myself obliged, after having
shown too much patience, to proclaim a state of
siege, and the subsequent misfortunes that may
ensue would fall upon the heads of these madmen.
" Prince GORTSCHAKOFF,
"Lieutenant of the Kingdom."
The following is the decree issued by the Council
of Administration :

"In the name of his Majesty the Emperor Alex-
ander• 11., Autocrat of all the Russias, King of
Poland, the Council of Administration ordains,

considering that the repeated assemblages in crowds
disturb public order and impede the free develop-
ment of the constitution granted by his Majesty,
by order of his Majesty, as follows :
" ' 1. All assemblages not authorised by the Go-
verment in the public squares and streets are pro-
hibited.

2. In case of assemblages in the public squares
or streets, the burgomaster or functionary next in
rank will call upon the people to disperse by sound
of drum. After two summonses to disperse have
not been atteaded to, IrrJ will make a third sum-
mons, and if the crowd does not then disperse he
will employ armed force. If necessa..y, firmed force
'nay be employed afie-: a first summons.
"' 3. Ali persons not immediately dispersing will
be arrested and sent to some fortress, to be tried

before the competent authorities.
" '4. Any person, not leaving the crowd at onee,
