aiad is all this insult to your honour , as a nation , to be passed over unheeded ? Not to speak of stipulations and treaties—not to speak of the millions of money which you have paid , and which you are stiil paying , to Russia on the faith of one treaty — you are spectators of a hideous enormity ; and , as human beings , you owe to humanity your public protest and universal reprobation . '—pp . 9 , 10 .
The * Manifesto of the Diet / and ' Address of the Polish Refugees ,, ' are clear statements of the national justice of the question . The following illustrations of the unparalleled injuries and insults to which the Poles are subjected , and that not in Poland only , not by Russians only , but by the neutral powers ., we select frono the foreign correspondence of the Polish Society , as published in the first number of their Magazine c Polonia .

• Letter , written by one of the Polish Patriots , from Dresden , { the Capital of Saxony , } dated June 13 . * I hasten to communicate to you that , in consequence of a note addressed to the government by the three courts of Russia , Austria , and Prussia , all the Poles residing here are required to leave Saxony ¦ without delay .

Nobody dares to pronounce a word on the disastrous events of the late revolution . Only a few nobles visit the town : they have retired to their estates , to avoid suspicion .
