“ After having appointed another con
ference at eleven o’clock the following
night, and arranged various preparations,
and the better to myself for so
great an eutcrpri/.c, 1 received after conies
gion, the holy sacrament from the* A bite
Meier, and then joined him in fervent
supplication to God, to bless our patriotic
undertaking’.
“At the* appointed hour of eleven at
night, l went to meet iny friends at tile
barracks, and gave them final instructions
to be on the* alert all night, and to apprize
all their adherents to be in readiness to
repair to their posts at the report of the
first cannon, after which all the fire-hells
i (he city were to ring up the entire
population. The lancers of the royal
guard had arrived that day in Warsaw.
Tliev knew nothing of the intended insur
rection, hut I was enabled hv God’s mer
cy* to obtain their hearty co-operation in
our sacred cause, as will presently ap
pear. i\ot having u sufficiency of horses
for the artillery, 1 gave orders to my
friends to have a hundred and fifty cart
horses in readiness for this purpose. 1
then concealed six thousand hall • irtridg
es and as many Hints in my own cart, and
proceeded homeward. On my way I met
a body of lancers of the guard, taking the
nightly round through the ci‘v. Know
ing the fine i to he true Poles, and right
willing to aid an attack upon the snvage &
lawless Russians, I got out of my car, ad
dressed the commanding officer, aid beg
ged Inm to give me a hearing in a tavern
close at hand. He consented, and there,
although 1 knew him not, l revealed to
bun oar intention and our resources. He
was a true Pole, his eyes flashed as he
]isfi#ied, and lie swore to assist our great
purpose hy every means in his power. In
short, this brave man promised his best
endeavors to bring over the whole regi
ment, and assured me of his gratitude for
the trust I had reposed in lus honor and
patriotism.
“After my return home 1 made ray
will, and placed it under the pillow of my

“During the night, however, a subal
tern of the city-guard, who had been pan
ic-struck when lie heard that a struggle
with our savage oppressors was close at
hand, hastened to the president of the
citv, and betrayed ah he knew. The pres
ident proceeded instantly to the king, who
despatched an aid-de-eampto Gen. lglcs

to one who lost no tune hi preparing for

ever, this intelligence did not reach him

th * r port of artillery p nh.d over the city,
and I rushed out, armed with a musket
and a short huntsman’s sword given to
me by the Abbe Meier. A Russian cap
taui was passing at the moment; I levelled
and shot him dead. A Cossack then at
tacked mi with his long pike; i succeed
ed, however, iu parrying Ins thrust, closed
upon In u and despatched him also. My

terror, ‘Why expose your own precious
life by killing these Russians'? Ah, Kil
inski! remember our children!’ in vain
l hesauglit her to return into the house.
‘lf you are determined,’ she said, ‘to die
for our country, l will die with you.’ Her
presence in this scene . f peril, and her
refusal ti> leave it were really embarras

was dearer to me than life, who was the
mot tier of my six chilrden, and again ad
vancing in pregnancy. For a moment
mv he-.rt failed me; reollecting, however,
the urgency of the occasion, I compelled
lier to retire into the house, locked her up
in her bed-room, and left her sinking and
half dead with apprehension for inv safe

Here follows a description of the battle
which lusted the whole dav. The details
are very interesting, but they exceed our

those well acquainted with the streets of

everywhere victorious; that the remnant
of the Russian troops were compelled to
make a precipitate retreat, and that Igle

seamen called out from the forecastle that
there were rocks on the lea how. instant

rushed upon deck—an attempt w as made
jto tack the ship, the wind was so light,
■uid the ground swell so great, thet it tail

less than ten minutes was completely
! broken up. A scene of the most harrow
ing description then took place. Three
hundred human brings vv.re struggling
for existance. The boats, filled with
people, were upset in the surf and and the
few saved, the captain, mate, 8 seamen,
j and 27 passengers, clung to part of the
l wreck, or were fortunately cnstj>y the

Extract of a h ttc r dated,

“Nothing is doing in sales. The bttsi
] ness of the place is rumed by political m
] trigues , general distrust, difficulty of col
lcctingilebts, and stagnation of all business
, throughout the country. For several ibr s
| business lias been suspended, stores closed
i and people flying on board of vessels and
| to places of safely with their families, iu
] consequence of insubordination among
the troops. To-day things are more qui
et, hut nil is yet iu uncertainty. The
writer lias just had a conversation with
one of the first men of the country, who
says that we shall yet have more of this
ami worse. The government is too weak
to prevent it.”
Tin* Editors of the American have fa
vored with the annexed extract of a letter
dated
‘Rio de Janeiro, July 18, 1831.
On the 14th there was a revolt among
the soldiers, and the disturbance still con
tinues. I went ashore on the 11th, as u
sual, quite unaware of any tiling that was
going on, but it was not long before I was
made acquainted with the difficulties,
j Musket halls were living in every direc
tion, and the cries of the soldiery were
hear. lin different quarters. | returned to

earnestly imploring an nsvluiu. There j
are three oi the first families of the place 1
on Ikiiuil this vessel with all their retinue,
which is no small number.
On shore it remains very unsettled. All
the l’ulice guarde have been disarmed and
imprisoned, they having, it is said, acen
sioued tin disturbance. A number of in
habitants have been shot in the contest.
All the men of war are under arms all
night: their boats manned, and a caron
ade in each. You may judge of the state
of the place without a government, ex
change, money, produce, ar any iliing
el.-e o( value. The two Chambers of
Deputies were sitting all night w ith closed
mors, and an immense throng of people n
waiting the result of their deliberations,!
the soldiery* having demanded :■* change of
Ministry, and the banishment of 170 per
sons named by them. After sitting 3(5
hours, the result of their labors was an
nounced in n proclamation ofhoth houses;
calling on the people to lay aside their
arms and preserve tin* public peace ! The
state of nflairs here is wretched in the ex

is no law to compel payment; all the'

Mr. Editor;
In your paper of the lfith in*t.
I observe several question- peopoun
tied to me, the ans wers to which t pre
sume are to be Used against me in Lit,
approaching election; aud us i nave no
desire to receive votes which lam not
entitled to 1 hasten fi> answer. The wri
ter appears to think that when it is
known Uiat the fractions north of ('<«.
iumlius nre joint properly, that tin* elec
tion is ‘sale fin* his friend.’' .Sow sir, |
beg leave to differ with the gentleman;
1 have too logo an opinion ot myself at
least, to believe that my inter**-. would
induce me to attempt any tiling in the.
legislature winch would disgrace mens
a representative. i have owned .i,i s
property ever since lbt-*>i, and I have
been twice in the legislature since that
time, why have I not done something to
benefit this property before? Keeniise
sir it never was desired, 1 speafi the
sentiments of both the gentlemen ns* »-
tinned by that writer, us well as mv
own wlit n 1 say we ask no legislative
aid nor do we desire any. Anil it* lam
returned lo the legislature mj conduct
will be as it has been heretofore, and no
partial legislation shall tarnish my rep
utation.
Accompanying this is the Ferry and
Wharf bill which has made such *,t stir.
I passed it through Ine Semite at the re
quest of (tie Rev. Air. Hodges at that
j tune one of the commissioners, and I
\ presume be had his ins’ructions from
the hoard. The bill was passed through
j the senate—l have just levievvcd it mul
believe us 1 always have, that it would
i have been a good law. You will find
] sir, that there is not one word about
] selling the Ferry, but vesting it in the
1 commissioners, who alone should have
1 die. control of it.
J 1 admit that the fractions spoken of
{ nre joint property, and believe at some
lutu.e day they wilt be valuable for lots,
j I udmit that I attend barbecues when
1 given by my friends, but I deny ever
