KOSCI USKO.

The Poles resident at Paris celebrated in the Church
of St. Roth, on Friday last, a Funeral Service, in
honour of ►heir immortal countryman, the great and
gallant Koscluszo. So deeply tinged was the fate of
this illustrious hero and patr►ot, that it spread its dank
and melancholy hues over the mind that would con-
template it; and posterity, when they 'read the record
of his v►rtues. will shed a tear of pity at his mis.
fortunes.— Pol .nd is blotted from the list of nations,
and the fragments of her broken sceptre are in the
hands of those who nitre once her ene►r►ies. The
chivalry with which she resisted her invaders was
unhallowed by success, and, without the crime, she
lhas suffered the punishment of rebelli n. But the
sunset of her day was not without its glory, and we
'may look through the darkness of the storm which
has since enveloped Europe, to where the mild ra-
diallers of her departing grandeur still tinge thehorizon.
Through all the eventful changes she underwent,
and the fearful struggles in which she was invotv,d,
Koscivazo was the soul of her councils, and the
strength of her battles. Si.sgularly gifted by Pnovt-
nePcz, to a strong constitution and .s person athletic
and robust, he added a soul superior to misfortune,
where virtue sat enthroned, and in conscious security
seemed to smile upon the world. With him in our
view, unmingted with doubt, we can read of the po-
verty of Antsrmis, and the daring hardihood of the
Hero of Thermopy Is. When the aggrandizing spirit
of CATHILRINI led tier to send forth her army to
ravage and destroy his country—when despair sat
broodu►g upon every heart, and the bravest were
appalled,
.Koactunto remained alone unmoved—.

The unfortunate result we will nut dwell upon.
KOSCIUSKO, after a noble struggle, was subdued, and
Poland was annihilated—. _
