The following manifesto has been published at st
Petersburg. 1t leaves the Poles no alternative but
unconditional submission or military execution. The
hurrn OF vengeance which he uttered among his
warke nobility, when h. first received the ntclli-
gence of the Instruction at Warsaw, IS re-
sounding through the empire and if echoed by the
people it was by the court, may be considered as
the prelude to extermnaring Polish INVASION.

with the aid Of the well disposed to recall to

not fulfilled. The Council of Administration could
