 The chief of the Government, to whom 1t is but justice to say that he and one of his | colleagues alone sustained in the Directory | aentimeuts of moderation and order, was from | the very beginning the object of threats, and 1 was compelled to fly for protection to the ar- | my, which he happily joined about o'clock l in the morning. Upon the reports he made l to the Generals, the regiments nearest the city were ordered to march into it, and en- tered accordingly on the evening of the 18th. Krukowiecki was then enabled to establish orr der, and the night passed without disturb ance; hut had it not been for the arrival of the troops hloRdy scenes would probably have taken place. Lists of prescriptions were cir- culated, in which appeared the most distin- guisled names.

 the town had been under martial law for up-
 wards Of twelve hours.

 "On the l7th the new Chief arrested the ! most prominent 6f the murderers, who were

 "Our Vicpna Correspondent has received
 intelligence to the 29th of Aug. At that date
 the fernent was very great, and the conduct
 of the new Chief though energetic, did not
 suffice to calm it. The punishtnrnts had
 been proporti0ned to the number and atrocity
 of the crimes. Four obscure assassins had just been shot, but the men were pointed out

 ton, and the real authors of the massacre had
 been spared. Several of them. after having
 been arrested, were set at liberty upon the
 prefext that there were not sufficient proofs a.
 gainst them. Among these were two priests,
 cIubists, who had been seen stirring up the
 murderers. It is not supposed that any fur ther judicial inquiry will be made into this
 horrible affair. This impunity excites the
 apprehensions of well disposed people. Nev. ertheless the firm and active character of the
 President inspires some hope.

 been loaded with favOurs, and the direction
 of the Police has been intrusted to Editors of Journals which have promoted anarchy, on the other hand two priests, the most horrible and dangerous agitators, have been sent away ifNna AhaaN ment of the revolution have been SO numerous that upwards of 1900 officers are lonnging in the cotfrc-hOuses in dangerous idleness. The most consoIatory act of the new Chief is. his peremptory interdicton against any future meeting of the Club.
 "The terror inspired by these events in the town has completely diverted all attention From the movements Of the army. A com mission had been sent on the 9th tO head. quar. ters at Bolinow, which declared, that though part of the al my still retained its confidence in General Skrzynecki. it was necessary to re. move him from the command. General Skrzyneckrs conduct on this occasion was truly noble; he presented his successor to the | troops, and offered to take the command ofa division under him. It is, however, reported that he has since left the army, by order ofl Gen. Krukowiecki.
