A hundred | and thirty-six leaders of the iusurrec- ! tion were seized, tried and condented, l and almost all of them were sentenced to perpetual laltor or to exile in Sib eria. The five principal chiefs were condemned to be broken on the wheel, but did not undergo that horrible pun ishment, the gibbet being substituted, by a ukase of the Emperor. Among these five chiefs, the first and most remarkable was Paul Pestal, Colonel of the infantry regiment of Wiatka. The long and arduous task to which he had devoted himself had not yrhol- ly engrossed the mind of this brave ■nd daring conspirator. Alive to the -charms of the aru, he cultivated them with success, and, iu particular, wits an excellent musician.
