A correspondent at Thorn, Prussian

the beginning of wider movement. When
be went TO Warsaw ten days ago the old
national aspirations were little more than
n fond dream to the mass of the people.
When he left there on mday fierce hatred
! burned among all classes against the
autocracy.
The brutality of the Russian hussars,
the cruel methods Of the police and the re-
entless dragooning of the populace have

The correspondent, who has spent a day
IN the sums Of Warsaw. says that the con-
dition Of the people IS wretched, end often
heartrending, in its squalid poverty Men
