from st. Petersburgh and Novogorod, for
me strengthening of the forces under count
Wittgenstein, have behaved themselves
especially at Polotz, and other places. We
have besides, and with heartfelt satisfac,i.
on. perceived by the reports of the COM
nander IN chief of the armies, and from o.
ther generals, that in several governments,
ana particularly in those of Moscow and
Na!ouga, the country people have armed
themselves, chasen their own leaders, and
0ot only resisted all attempts at seducing
them, but also sustained ali the caiamitiss
mat nave betallen them with tho persever-
ancc ct martyrs. Often have they united
themselves with oar detachmehts, and as
sisted them In making their enterprises &
attacks against the enemy. MANY villages
nave secreted their families and tender
infants in the woods, and the inhabitants
with armed hand and inconceivable cou-
rage, under engagements on the holy gos-
pei not TO leave each other in danger, de-
tended themselves, and wherever the enc
my showed himself, have fallen upon him, (,
SO that many thousands of them have been
| cut III pieces, and dispersed by the pea
SAINTS, and even by their women, & mum
oers taken prisoners, who were indebted
Tor their lives to the humanity of those
very people they came to plunder and dss-
troy.
% hiSn purpose, and such invinCiblc
perseverance in the whole nation, doe. il
immortal honour, worthy of being preserved
in the minds of posterity With the con-
rage OF such nation, we entertain the
most well-founded hopes. Whilst we Jointly
with the true church, and the holy synod
and clergy, supplcate Gods assistance,
| that II our inveterate enemy. & the mocker
OF Gods temples and holiness, should not
be entirely and totally destroyed in Russia,
| yet that his deep wounds, and the blood it
has cost him, will bring him to acknow-
ledge her might and strength.
Meanwhile, we hold it to be our bounden
duty, by this general publication before
the whole world. to express our gratitude
to the valiant, loyal and religious Russian
| nation, and thereby render it due justice
