RUSSIA AND POLAND.
WARSAW, Aug, l7.---Yesterday and the
day before, were days of horror. The Pa
triotic Club, long irritated against the es-
tablished authorities, and dissatisfied at
not seeing General Jankowsky condemned
to death, at length determined on taking
violent measures. On the 18th, at 8 p.
NJ. the club formally demanded that Ge-
neral SkrZynecki should be orderd to
Warsaw. Hereupon they proceeded to
the Castle, where the 200 National
Guards scarcely offered any resistance.
The seven prisoners of state who were
found, were murdered in their rooms,
and the bodies thrown into the gut
ter, Or hung up at the lamp posts The RI
oters then proceeded to the houses of seve-
raj persons already acquitted, and to the
House Of correction, in which not only
the agents of the late police, but also deb
tors and cheats, were confined many of
them were put to death, and their bodies
were hung up without much CEREMONY
In this way thirty-five persons lost their
lives during the first night. Among them
were Generals Janskowski, Bukowskie
Hurting Salacks, and Bentkowski the
Russian Chamberlain FOstiani; Russian
lady by the name of Bazanow; the Coun-
sellor Of State Hanckiewiez, who had been
acquitted; Major Petrikowski, and seve-
raj police agents. Lessel, the confection-
er, who had been acquitted, was saved
with much difficulty by General Krukow-
iecki.
Yesterday. about noon, Russian cap
tain of cavalry, who had been wounded &
taken prisoner, was torn from the Wagon
as ii entered the city, aud cruelty murde-
red. In the afternoon Rawecki, the cura-
tor of the schools, was hung at lamp post.
During the night Gen. Krukowiecki was
re appointed Governor of the city. His
first measure was to send for military re-
Inducements, so that repetition of these
horrors is scarcely to be expected. The
French and Austrian COnsuls have alrea-
dy demanded their passports, the Govern
nent being no longer in condition to aft
ford them protection. To-day, however,
in compliance with wish intimated to
them, they have determined not to set off
as yet. To-day the Government hitherto
existing has been dissolved, and General
Krukowiecki has been placed at the head
of the new Government, with very extern
ded powers. During the hours Of terror
he displayed much energy and personal
bravery. lie has already had the Presi-
dent and ten members of the club ares
ted. BY virtue Of the powers placed in
his hands, he has appointed General Prom
dzynkito the chief command of the army,
who is said to has already accepted the
appointment.
We have as yet received no further acs
counts from Warsaw, to contradict or con-
firm those which we yesterday extracted
from the Prussian papers. But in the alb
scnce of positive Intelligence, we are hap
by to say that the more we reflect on the
Prussian statements, the less probable they
appear.
In the first place, the Polish Diet and
Government, which have hitherto exercis-
ed such irresistible power, and which have
shown themselves so hostile to Jacobin or
revolutionary excuses, are not likely, all
at once either to have changed their poll
cy or have lost their influence. In the
Chamber of Nuncios motion was made
by NJ Haysin on the first instant, to adj
dress all the people and representative
assemblies in Europe, OH behalf of suffer-
ing Poland, and to call upon them to come
TO her assistance, in spite of the orders of
their respective Governments. The pro-
pagandiSt proposition was lost by great
majority, showing that the Polish legisla-
ture could despise the rawlings Of clubs and
the menace Of 'tumults.
In the second place, the patriotic club,
TO whose charge all this revolutionary mis-
chief is ascribed, has been twice or thrice
dissolved-is generally discredited by
people Of all classes-consists of very few
members and exercises very little inilu-
encc.-Is it likely that some hundred hot
headed students could cashier the General
in-Chiefo of the army with $4,000 bayonets
at his command, and appoint one of their
partizans in his place? The fact may by
possibility be true, but it is extremely i'm
probable. A single squadron Of horse
would have disipated club so composed,
and so powerless.
In the third place, tits scarcely ODE con-
ceivcd that the members of government
which has hitherto been so popular, as that
of Prince Czartoriski, could be displaced
at once to make room for two men SO dis
credited as Generals Krukowiecki and
ProndZinski.
