our sufferings and of the iniquities of Muscovite rule is filled
up. Some moments of fearful suffering still await us, but
they will constitute our last trial, and when our country
has risen from it, independent and glorious, you will rejoice
that you have contributed to her redemption. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution was put and carried unanimously.
The noble CHAIRMAN, in thanking the meeting, said
there had been a general feeling abroad that the present
Emperor of Russia was a kind and humane man. He had
shared in that opinion. but if it were true that he had re-
warded those who had directed the massacres of Warsaw
—(hear, hear)—all he could say was that if he was a hu •
mane man, in that act he had not shown it. (Hear.)
The Earl of ILCHESTER moved the third resolution,
"That the noble and exemplary forbearance exhibited by
the people of Warsaw under the late most trying circum-
stances, evinces an unparalleled degree of patriotic resolu-
tion and power of self-control ; and that the Poles having
thereby given proof of moral heroism and great civic quali-
ties, in addition to that personal and chivalrous devotion
of which they had previously shown so many bright exam-
ples, have acquired a fresh title to the sympathy of Europe,
and a new claim to have the stipulations inserted in the
treaties on which the peace of Europe depends, with the
view of preserving their national existence and endowing
them with constitutional institutions, no longer, as hitherto,
recklessly, contemptuously, and systematically violated."
Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, M.P., in seconding this reso-
lution,
expressed his conviction that there never was such
a period of hope for Poland as at the present time, when
such stirring events were taking place upon the continent.
He referred, in feeling terms, to the news of the death of
Count Cavour, and said there was no telling what a month
would bring forth.
General Count ZAMOYSKI expressed his satisfaction at
seeing, from the many speeches which he had heard in this
meeting,; that the state of Poland was now at least under-
stood by all. Poland, he said, has now entered upon a new
course in the defence of her national existence, upon a new
mode of warfare, in which comparatively fewer losses of life
are required, in which arms are used on one side only, that
side being invariably defeated, and earning in every en-
counter nothing but shame, whilst_ the other side earns
honour and respect among nations whenever it asserts its
right, and without retaliating steadily demands justice ,
from man as well as from the Almighty. Their confidence
in the ultimate success of their cause is such that in the
late events of Warsaw, that confidence was shown, even to
the decisions of the Emperor himself. Thus it was, that
during the 43 days when the Prussian authorities had left
the government of the town in the hands of the inhabi-
tants themselves, not only did perfect order prevail, but no
insult of any kind was offered to any of the Emperor's re-
presentatives, to any of his officers or soldiers, to any Im-
perial shield or arms, or to any public office. The Em-
peror had really done something to confirm that confidence,
he had proclaimed that the country would now receive cer-
tain representative institutions. But, meantime, the
garrison had been considerably increased, and at the end
of that period, when no part of that promise had yet
received any beginning of execution, the inhabitants
of Warsaw suddenly learnt that the only institution which,
in want of any other, had been the means of meeting for
general purposes, the Agricultural Society, to which the
Viceroy had applied for assistance in the temporary main-
tenance of order, had been dissolved. The people felt deeply
offended and disappointed. They nevertheless went on,
though thousands in number, simply praying the Viceroy
that he should write to the Emperor. And that was the
offence which made the Russian commanders surround the
crowds and massacre several hundreds of them. Since that
date the promise of new institutions has not ceased to be
repeatedly proclaimed ; and it may, perhaps, be a matter of
wonder, whilst it certainly deserves to be one of praise, that
no man in the country declines taking advantage of any
institution, however scanty the measure of concession,
which it may please the Emperor to grant, provided it is
granted bona fide. The people have come to rely on the
very necessity for the Russian Emperor and for the Russian
nation to think of rendering the position of Poland less in-
tolerable. They also trust, statesmen of the powerful
nations of the West will not neglect the opportunity offered
to them by the recent bloodshed at 'Warsaw, to impress the
Russian, as well as the Austrian and Prussian Govern •
ments, with the necessity, no less important to the safety
of Europe than it is to the rights of humanity and to the
preservation of law among nations, that Poland should not
be deprived of her existence as a nation, since solemn
treaties have pledged all the great Powers of Europe to
secure its preservation.
The resolution was carried unanimously, and Lord Rayn-
ham, Mr. Hoare, Mr. Beales, and other gentlemen addressed
the meeting; and

The vice:Presidents and council having been appointed
for the ensuing year, thanks to the noble chairman closed
the proceedings.
