russian Doings in Poland.

The following extract from the Cologne Ga

none of its foreclosures with regard to unhappy
Poland:
Whole populations of villages in Lithuania are
being iorcby transported TO the steppes of the
Ural. The Inhabitants of Klanyski, Szaliszki,
and Szylany, consisting of ffty-seve families
were thus transported short time back Their
property was confscated and sold, and the pro
ceeds applied TO the expenses of the journey
These unfortunate people having shown some
hesitation in leaving their homes, a body Of
troops was sent 10 force them To comply with
MouravieiFs orders. In Wilma the convoys for

cases Russan, even on seals and stamps Mou-

The news of the capture of Russian convoy of
400 cwt. Of salt is confirmed. The salt was
afterward sold by the Poles for IS. 900 guidens
They have also captured large quantity of TO
hacco belonging to the Russians. These captures
are very frequent, particularly in the paatinate
OF Lublin, where numerous smal, patrols of
Polish 9endorraes are constantly securing the
