Thus, not withstanding our triumphant si tuation, vvt have been stopped in out late ne.gociauens wit h Eng land,, neither by the arrogance of bet language, nor hv the sa crifices vv• ich she wished to im fos- upon us.

Vt the sound of arms, which once more resound* in Pol uni, ICusciuszku flies into the mulst of vou ; ic is n > longer baibarians in search of plunder, which advance into our plains ; it is no longer chose fero cious men who come to divide our fields, and insult our weak ness, after having fattened them -e!ve on our misfor unes and our blood. By their valour, bv iheir triumphs, by the thunder ing eagle which soa 9 before them, you will know the uncon querable legions which h ive il lustrated the four quarters of the globe hv their victories ; woo have, in one campaign, aun lul a.cd the united power of two vast empires ; and who have in 011 c week, crumbled into dust a throne raised by an age ot su.- ecs;cs, die woik of Frederick. & ad his old generals. 1 bus lias .he destiny of N-tpo koa electeed mio destroys and m nfe k : rir. falls wbh the \ rapidity of lightning on his ene mies, and who knows how, by the force of his arm, and the core* p inn of his genius, to raise up nations, bowed down under the yoke of a frightful policy . Polander*, thousands amongst vou have followed ‘he first gen lof Europe, in the defiles of Italy. Your battalions have ral lied with the army of the brave Napoleon comes to you ; his eve observes you ! he brings into the bosom of Poland those Frenchmen, amongst whom we have found a second country,who ( have collected the wrecks of us | in their camps ; who treating us as brothers, have concealed our misfortunes under their laurels ; these generous Frenchmen, in the midst of which Kosciuszko has ceased to believe himself pre scribed, befoi e whom he has at last been ab'e to raise up with a sentiment of caalition, and per haps of pride, his vanquished but not dishonored head, and amongst which he has been per muted to entertain the love of his countrv and the hope oi its future liberty. Dear Countrymen, a!! you who bantfhed from your pa ternal foil, have remained Polanders in a foreign land, and you ou the contrary, who having become ffrangers in the bosom of Poland, have remained faithful to your brothers and the country) rife up, it is time, the grand nation is belore you ; Napo leon regards you and Kolci ufzko calls you. , See Europe shaken to her ancient foundations, hastening at the voice of genius to re conffruct the tocial edifice, and to imnaortalile the nine teenth century, by new crea tions and new titles to glory. See how the y ke of the ty rant of the leas, of the enemy of the repoie of Europe is bteaking to pteces on every coalt ; every where the people rife up fhelterecl by monarchies constituted by the laws ; eve ry where the opprefied nations march towards their indepen dence. Polanders, what is wanting yet to infpiteyou and render you to youdelves ? Without doubt you are the children of those heroes who laved Europe from the yoke of the Muffeltnen—your heart* shall burn with the fire which filled wilh elteem and fright even your enemies’ conquer ors. Because they have divid ed you, you should be more united by blood, by language, j by misfortune, and by every thing, which is moil dear and molt lacred amongff men. If Poland has been effaced from the political chart, she exiits ftillentire in the hearts of her chiidien. If abandoned by France, and having only for our support the julticc of our caule and our valour, we were abie to balance fortune between u s and three emoires who united themielves to op. prels us ; what triumph shall appear doubtful, when the conqueror of the triple alliance has heed your frontiers, when the man of deltiny has catt his views on you—do you not feel m his piefence your blood quicken in your veins ? Do you not now lee the (hades of so many heroes who have died fighting tor you, press around him and implore vengeance P dear their groans, hear the vciceol the couniiy who de. tnands from us its glory and independence. Polanders, escaped by a mi racle fiom the ivvord of you< a fl.. tii ti.-, from the chains o. you 1 tyrants, 1 have collected I von, I have brought v . ith ;r the last sighs of a eying am... try, full of confidence, E : , day I will make her last vvftl] relonnd amongff you—l to fee that paiernaUand which my arm has defer Jed, wH c ! i my Mood has reddened, and which I will cover on hen,., it with teats & losses. Unfn„. oate friends who I have not tven aMe to follow to tomb, dear and brave co;n 4 patriots whom I have been conff rained to leave under the yokeofour usurper.

Worthy of the grand man’ whole arm is raised for us. Worthy Polanders who Mar my voice, 1 will aid to caffe up my country and to fix her hi. ture prosperity on liable bales was the name of country no more to my compatriots than a word without meaning, then I would escape from mv mis. fortunes and the common shame, and bury mvfelf under the noble wrecks of Poland.

Days glorious to Poland are about to appear, fortune has not conduced Napoleon and bis invincible* on the borders of the Vilhda to leave there no traces, we are under the Egi:; of a mon arch who combats difficulties with prodigies, the rc.eliah. lifhment o f Poland is an event too glorious for the eternal master of all things riot to have reserved it for him. ” KOSCIUSZKO.
