At the fametimea a great number of Polilh soldiers ar rived there in small parties, pretending that they were upon furlough, and that I had oly come to relide a few days at t Warsaw till they fhourd join their regi- _ mehts. Upon the iame pretext many c others who had never been in the army : put on regimentals. General Igelllro- f em ordered that all the soldiers should , immediately join their respective regi- i ments, and that those who were not sol i diers (hould lay alide the uniform.— The latter part of this order was com plied with, but the soldiers still conti rued to conceal themfelres in Warsaw { till an opportunity presented for their i rising .against the Ruffians, whom they at last drove out of Warsaw. The King did every thing in his power to quell the infurrettion, but it was alrea dy become too formidable.
