Russian Rule in PoIand-Fearful Seen
at Warsaw.

| A correspondent of the London Port. vritin
from Warsaw on the Goth ult., gives a yivi
sketch of the ecene which followed the attemp
made to sesat slnate the Russian Gen. Berg, b
flngiDg an Orsini bomb at him as he was ridir
through the streets of Warsaw:
"The missile was thrown in the nsrroyes
part OF the street, between the houses of Ooun
Andrew Zamoyski and the Saxon Palace. Whei
the smoke clearedaWay Gen. Berg was fount
TO be unhurt in his carriage. Trustworthy wit
nssses OF the scene, who were at their windows
at the time, declared that 1t was perfectly i'm.
possible either for them or Gen. Berg, blinded
With the smoke, CT for hia escort, to see whence
the bomb-feli. The police at tho corner of the
sttest were 30 frightened that they concealed
themselves, SO that they could not even have a
suspicion OF the house where the author of the
attempt Wae. It was O moment Of suspepse,
lear, and uncertainty. Meanwhile, Berg, hay.
ing arrived at the orderly room, gave certain
osoers, whose nature subsequent events dis.
cloSto, and alterTasds. surrounded BY fresh
convoy, rode home. One thousand Infantry and
cavalry now proceeded 10 vide column from
tne orderly Eoom in the direction of the spot
Hhere the attempt had been made. On the road

person they met, driving all before them With
tnelr nayoneta They then entered both the
houses OF Count IimoJaki, one of which Ia
strictly private house, occupied by bis houee-
poid exclusively, and this other, perhaps the
moet magnificent house in Warsaw, fitted up in
o most luxurious style, and occupied By nearly
one hundred opulent and highly respectable
families. That the bomb should have been
thrown from one Of these houses was most i'm
probable, and have already pointed out that it
was impossible 10 know which was the house
whence 1t was thrown. What we're the sceneu
enacted 10 these. perhaps the most respectable
houses In Watsaw, between Eve in the after

green's of women. After seven hours of de-
structiou, the soldiery dragged the male in

covered with wounds and contusions, to the
citadel. These poor people we're without hats
or cpats, and their clothes wore nearly torn off
their backs Among them we're several old
men, whose weary aud desparing looks moved
the bystanders to tears. In MiodoBa street,
where thereis church, these unfortunate peo-
pie kneis down TO cay silent prayer, but the
soldiery rushed upon them with their bayonets,
tore them from their kneeling position, and
Forced them 10 march On. Meanwhile the wo-
men and children, thus deprived of their
natural protectors, were exposed to the in
suits and obscene Jokes of the drunken sol
diery, without . home-even without warm
clothing sga,1stth cold. About eleven O'Clock
