PARIS, l7ih April, -S3l.
Sir--No accusation against a Government with whom
we are at peace should be made lightly Peace is a
great blessing-an immsnse ~good-and we should all
assist 10 preserve it. But then this peace must be re
ciiprocal-these efforts TO preserve il must be made by
all parties land that ii may be permanent. il must be
ielt TO be a great good by all who are allied together
by treaty OF amity and concord. l have said thus much
at'he commencement OF this letter, becaus, l am about
10 complain, in the name Of the Poles, and in the
name OF humanity, peace, civilization, and liberty.
against the scandalous and outrageous conduct of the
RUSSIAN Government towards Poland! l have a mass
oil iacts-a PORTFOLIO full OF letters and | could, il
necessary, in the first instance, give names and dates.
and descend into particulars. But | remember the frs,
sentence oil this letter. and | am willing to hope that
inc eTp0se l am about 10 make will produce a good
effect, without any further appeal to the honor ard Jus
tce OF the Prussian Government. Should my hopes
be disappointed and my wishes frustrated, and should
PRUSSIA dare TO march a small or a large force against
regenerated and independent Poland. then all sort of
delicacy viii be out OF the question, ard | will publish
In The Morning Chronicle the particulars OF each
transaction TO which L now but generally refer.

King 81 Prussia Is indisnsut beyond mea,u-s at The
