POLAND.
Great enthusiasm is stated to exist in Po-
land, and every effort was making TO meet the
Russian forces, if they should attempt to reach
Warsaw.
RUSSIAN MANIFESTO AGAINST POLAND.
A manifesto has just been published from
which the following extracts are made:
terrible treason has convuised the
kingdom OF Poland, which is united to Rus
sla. Evll-mlnded men, whom the benefits
of the Emperor Alexander, the magnanim-
Gus restorer of their country, had not dis
armed, and who, under the protection of the
constitution which he had granted them,
enjoyed the fruits of his solctude, plotted
the overthrow of the order of things intro
duced by him, and marked the outset Of
their armies, on the 18th t2S;h) of Novem-
Der, by rebellion, bloodshed, and criminal
attempts on the life of our beloved brother,
the Cesarowitsch and Grand Duke Con-
stantine Paulowitsch. Taking advantage
of the darkness of the night, furious null
titude, instigated by them, attacked the
palace of the Cesarowitsch, while at the
same time, by spreading in several quarters
of the city false reports that the Russian
troops were massacreing the peaceable cit
! liens, in gaining the people, and filing the
city with all the horrors of anarchy. The
Cesarowitsch then resolved to take up a
position in the environs of Warsaw with the
! Russian troops that he had with him, and

their duty, and not act Extensively. in order
to avoid all occasion for the effusion of
blood, to show clearly the absurdity and the
talsehood of the reports that were spread
to give the authorities of the city time and
means, with the AID Of the well-dlsposed cit
liens, to recall to their duty those who had
been led astray, and TO keep the evil-mind-
ed in check; but this expectation was not
fulfilled. The council of administration
could not succeed in restoring order, inces-
sanity menaced by the rebels, who had
I formed illegal meetings, and who had
changed its composition by removing the
members named by US, and establishing
others forced on it by the chiefs Of the con-
sprators. There was nothing left for it to
do but earnestly to entreat the Cesaro-
witsch to send back the Polish troops who
had left Warsaw with him, in order to pre-
serve public and private property from fur
Their pillage. Soon this council was totally
dissolved, and the whole power placed in
the hands of general At the same time
a report was spread CT similar insurrec-
ton in all the provinces of the kingdom oil
Poland. The same means we're every
, where employed: seduction, menaces false
| hoods, the object of which was to subject
the peaceable citizens to the power of some
rebels. In these serious and deplorable
circumstances, the Cesarowitsch thought il
, necessary to follow the advice of the Coun-
Gil Of State, and he permitted the small
number of Polish troops who had remained
faithful to return to Warsaw, in ORDER i
possible, to protect persons and property

long been meditated was contaminated.
God, the defender ofthe legitimate cause
/, is with US, and powerful Russia is able in a
single decisive battle to reduce to obedi

peace. We are ready to punish the trea.
son, but at the same time we will diStin.
guish between the innocent and the guilty
and pardon the weak who, through inability
to resist, or through fear followed the tor.
rents of rebellion.

will serve you as a guide. Justice and nc

vengeance which he uttered among his warlike
nobility when he first received the intelligence
of the instruction at Warsaw, is now re-
sounding through the empire, and if echoed by

sidered as the prelude to an exterminating
Polish invasion.
