men will often perlit in wickedneis SH'to-

federates at Cz.naokau, and in the above
fcuffie had (rized the King, whom ne mao
carried near to Willanow; in the way to
which place were fome Ruffian plcquets
Here Kcczwiiki, either touched with tear
or remorie, demanded pardon of the. King,
and propofcd to fave him but the k,ng
happily taxing advantage of kocz~lik' S
dividing his body of -defperadoes into two
parties Zone of which was to attack the
Ruiian pickquets, while the other guard
ed his Msjsity) 1ipt aide into WOOD
and after an hour and halfs desperate jour
ney gained fInlll hut, from whence ne
fent notice to general Cocceli, who imme-
diately repaired to the place, where ne
found his MgeRv; and this morning at
four o'clock his MajeRy arrived at his pa
lace, where two wounds his MajeRy re-
ceivsd on his head, the one by plfto',
and the other by labre, were drsHed, and
happily appears that neither OF them are
dangerous. At eleven o'clock TIE Deum
was flung in all tie cathedrals. for his Ma
jsfy's e:cape. -.
By sdvices received the twenty fixtf In
FAINT, it appears that the twenty hyc con-
federates, who carried off the King of Po-
land, had introduced themielves at diffe-
rent times into that city under the charac.
ters of waggoners, driving 70 many loads
of hay.
The fame accounts mention, that the
King after being forced out of his coach,
had been carried between Two hories to
Willanow, by which bis Majeity was 70
extremely rocked, that when he came, at
ter the fatigue of an hour and an haif's
march on foot, to the hut in the FORFEIT,
where he was relieved by the Rufiian de-
tachmcht, he threw himfelf on the poor
peafant's truckle bed, and had one of the
mott comfortable maps he ever enjoyed IN
his life time. IL
Another account fays, that his MajeRy,
in his way to the hut, after efcaping from
the confederates, had the misfortune to
lofe his ihoes in the fwampy grounds IN the
forreff, by which his feet were 70 terribly
hurt, that the pain he underwent in con-
tinuing his journey 10 incredible and this,
no doubt, added to the comfortabIenefs of
his repofe.
A third account Jays, Koczwifki, who
headed the fix confederates that took he
King, was no more than lieutenaE 9 and
that when after joining the ref of ttet c6ns
federates at the entrance Of the city thsy
had carried his Poliih Majefty as far as
Willanow they hearing the report of
cannon, which were fred by the Rufians
as fignals of alarm, and dreading the ap-
preach of troops, he adviied his captain,
who commanded the corps to divide them
into two bodies, and fend them forward to
reconnotre, leaving himielf with four of
the band to guard the King, Having thus
got rid of bis commander, and che princi-
cipal part of the corps, he then contrived
10 fend the four left with him, under va
rious pretences, different ways. Being
