On his arrival in Lubiin and appearance IN the office
of the military chief he apprized that his excellency
the Viceroy required that he should explain what com

him as follows:

executed another power OF attorney in Gacia, which
he audueny caused TO be authenticated in the office OF
the imperial legation v Vienna.

the empire OF Russia.

ror Of the Russian empires and the Ministry directed the
MIR. Roman Es,ko, and Mrs Louisa NaIbu born Estko,
to revoke that power OF Attorney and to re-eDgage as
their attorneys Messrs Fendall and Bradley.
Mr.. Hpous Eslko was informed OF II by his rea-
tves. and they wrote TO him that the governor threat
ened to force them to comply with that order In answer
10 this information MIR Hipolitus Estko submitted to

demand, because although they gave him only power
of attorney 10 prosecute their claim to the succession OF

estate. having assigned the same 10 Mr. hpous Es,ko
] do not know, and MIR. Hipolltus Estko does not
know, what they have done in the premises. But
it seems to me that his hishness the Viceroy OF
the kingdom OF Poland gave credit TO the charges
which The ambassador preferred against Mr.. HPo-
tus Es,ko, because in his already alluded 10 order,
he required of the military chief TO furnish to him as
possible such explanation on the subject as Mr.
Hpotus Estko would give. warning hun that delay IN
this respect would EXPOSE Mr. Esko and other heirs TO
procrasnaton in the cause, the ambassador having been
directed to interfere in the proceedings OF that cause
until the investigation should be finished and further de-
cson communicated to him. This instruction given to
the ambassador authorizes inference that his hghness
the Vceoy partly knows that SO Jealous an interference
of the ambassador in the relating TO the succession
of General kosciusko deceased is not TO be attributed
TO zeal for public interest," but that originates rather in
personal considerations
The honorable HpOlitus Estko gave the following ex-
l. That he never acted fraudulen,ly, did he
use force towards his relatives IN the family ransac-
lions He called upon them TO say with what loyal re-
gard he always acied towards them.
That he executed the power OF attorney IN question
according to the forms prescribed by the laws OF Ga
licia where it made; that il was authenticated by
the forum OF Lemberg, by the of the kingdom
of Galca, and subsequently by the Minister of Foreign
Affairs OF The empire OF Austria and by the Legation OF
the United States at Vienna that the authorization OF
the Russian legation there not necessary, and Mr.
Estko was not in Vienna.
g. That he communicated with you and with Mr.
Tochman solely and exclusively in matters relating 10 the
succession Of General Kosciusko, deceased, and
had from either OF you any communication on any other
subject.
4. That he sent money 10 either of you, nor TO
any other person.
S. He stated that the ambassador NEEDLES in this
without authority; that he opposes him tEsko) in retain
ing the counsel OF his choice, and wishes 10 force
upon him persons who have not his confidence He aso
stated tina. upon the memorial OF the Eskos his Majesty
Minister OF Foreign Affairs to send ashington through
the medium OF the imperial legation, their doeu-
ments OF hership, with exl ess instruction that
the legation should not interfere in retaining the
counsel nor in any other manner in the proceed
ings OF the He charged that the present anbas
sador departed from these Instructions and is act
ing contrary 10 the order OF his Majesty the Emperor,
deceased.
g. Lastly, TO avoid all suspicion Mr. Hipolitus Es,ko
pledged his word OF honor that he would not write
you, nor Mir Tochman, without the special permits
sion OF his hehness the Viceroy. 1t seems that his
he ordered that the passport given to Mr. Esko 10 go
10 Gaca, when his business should require H. should be
returned to him The detention of it during this inves
tgaiion had exposed him, however, 10 great losses
From this statement you will perceive the danger and
the trouble TO which Mr.. Estko was exposed in
quence of the false charges which the ambassador pre-
ferred against him. You will perceive how important il
10 to disclose the base and treacheous views OF the
bassador. Now, as some time ago you mentioned in a
letter that there els, some family connexions, or others,
please them sir ascertain and inform us of the nature
Of those relations, whatever they may be.
1t seems TO me that when you ascertain what relations
christianity relations or others-between Mr. Bodsco
and the gentlemen above alluded to, you should ire
tanning all regard for the government of Russa) ex.
pose plain language the unwarranabe interference OF
the Ambassador and his personal interest in this
You should do this in letter addressed directly the
honorable Hpolus Esiko which you should address to
letter. Mr. Esiko will probably negec, communi.
TO his government order TO efute further the
fase and unjust charges which the ambassador preferred
against him.
