T'hcf ia Sir what Hungary did and then I'D starts
in your paper an anonymous pen, perverting truth,

unfortunate nation, by saying that " Hungary re-

In regard to myself, I never asked your favor or
even appealed TO your of justice nor ever will;

10000 French Poland, gsrrisoned by 100000 Rus
slams The fact is that Poland il nor gsrrisoned by
300 600 men, precisely because six months ago II has
not been attacked by landing Polish expedition,
backed by the ~, 600 French who made the pro-
menade TO the Baltic. Poland had then not gar
rton of 300 600 men but 1000 only, chiefly
raw recruits and invalios which force could not have
been much increased at that time, with ST. Peters
burg and Finland in danger from your Baltic feet
and from the possibility of Sweden joining you upon
the cordon Of Pollard being called to arms, and, on
the other hand with the Russian army on the Danube
beaten and the Al go French Turkish forces, 100000
strong pushing up Besssrabia after the beaten Rus
