General Madulinski had raised th© standard of revtdt in u province swaniiing with enemies uiid Koseiusko had issued at Cracow, a procbmaiion, calling upon all Poland to rise against its ojipressors. The Rusaian troops in Warsaw, now found diemselves in a situation of imminent peril ; being hemmed in by u large and hostile jiopulution, and dependent on a treacherous and vacillr(ing king for sanc- tion and .sufiport. Conscious that they could only eiscape destruction by prompt andvigourous measures, thev deter- mined to avail tlnMiiselves of the Empress's orders, which authorised tlieni in cast; of need, to fire the city, and put all the inhubitants to the sword. Before, however, their intention became public, a master shoemaker in V\ arsaw determined to intercept it by reVolt. He lost not an in- stant, but, difl'iising his own enerjjy amongst the people, accomplished a general insurrection in Warsaw, two ilays before the intended plunder and destruction of the city. General Igleslium and his Russians weiu con){K;lled to make a hasty retreat ; the constitution of the third of May was re-established, and tlie iNinest shoemaker, who hud been the head and front of this timr-ly revolt, relin- (juished his command to another, and declining all dis- tinctions and reward, contented himself with becoming an active member of the upper council of the regency, appointed at that time. At a later pi-riod, when the en- raged people demanded the head of their perjuretl mo- narch, the shoemakeragain interfered, and savedthe kiiif's life at the risk of his own. He did morefor he shield- ed even the king's minions from die fury of the people, and j)revailed upon the multitude to patiently await the event ofa regular trial before the appointed tribunal. In after limes the patriotic and higli-minded Kilinski ex|>eri- enced much persecution, and was often taunted with his occupation by the oppressors of Poland. His fellow coun- trymen, however, revered him for the genuine nobility of his soul, and the patiiotic shoemaker, who died ubout 1816, was huneiited throughout Poland. A memoir of this extraordinary man, drawn up by himself, was circulated by numerous companions in manu- script, but never published in Waisaw, until lately, haviuL' l)een forbidden by tlie censor. From the printed work, which is accurately copied after the oiiginal manuscript in the han<l-writing of Kilinski, we have made the follow- ing extracts : ** Having been informed against by some spies of the Russian general, 1 received one morning n peremptory summons to attend him. The bearer was a Russian officer, who told me I shouid he ' through ti»e Mrttcts by horses if I did not readily i.-uw^v. 1 immediately dressed myself, an<l put a dagger into my hoot unobserved. I found the General Igelstrom, waiting for me in the hall of audience. * Thou art Kilinski V he began. * Yes, your excellency !' * Accursed tebel, villain, traitor, Ac, he pursued, until he had exhausted his catalogue of abuse, and at length he told me that he would have me banged np«m the new gallows before the Capuchin nioiidstiy. This torrent of abuse made me so iiulignant, that I felt strongly disjxjsed to plunge my dagger into the tyrant's bujast. Recovering, however, my self possession, I told him, that I had mistaken his spies for real Polish traitors, and had designedly drawn Uieni to get a knowledge of their intentions, with a determination to apprise him of the conspiracy. I reminded him too, that the municipality had received his express onlers to visit all places of public resort, and to re|>orl all suspicious words or a|)[H'arances. This explanation pacified him considerably, and when I assurj'd him that all the syndics were well disposed towards Russia, and determined to preserve order, bis anger va- nished, he brought a bottle of brandy from his clos(;t, and made iiie drink with him. Growing more cordial with every glass, he put many questions to me about the state of public feeling in Warsaw, w liich 1 answered to his satis- faction. At length lie inquired if I had many friends in the city. Seeing no danger in a frank reply, I tohl him that even a rumour of my arrest woiUd soon show him how many friends I had ; nor did I hesitate to say, whenfarthei questioned, that, ibroueh the workmen who had chosen me as their syndic, I couid in a few hours raise thirty Uiousand men. Tlie Russian smiled at ih's intelligence, but I could aee that he was startlwl, and, indeed, he ainmst instantly dismissed me, fearine, probably, that my arrest had trans- pire«l, and would collect a numerons bo<lv ofmv adherents around his hotel. Thus did 1 escafic from a situation of imminent |)eril. ** Soon after my return home, I received a visit from the patriotic Abbe Meier, who came to concert with me a rising of the people acrainst the Russian garrison : With- out loss of time, we drew up the form of an oath to be taken by all who joined our cans*'. Then, aft«'r an earn- est prayer to the .Almighty for assistance, we sallied forth. I called upon many citizens and arti/ans on whose patrio- tic feelings I could rely, while the Abbe undertook to sound the nobles rr'si«lent in Warsaw, amon^rst whom were many brave and hit'h min«led men, and of these only one refused to join us with heart and hand.*' After detailing many instances of oppression and cruel- ty inflicted by the savage Russians upon the citizens of Warsaw, the narrator tlius proceeds : " Meanwhile the festival of Easter was at hand, and onr preparations were far advanced w hen accident revealed to me a diabolical conspiracy, which was almost ready for explosion. " I had sonaetime been acquainted with a brave and warm h<»arted Russian officer, who seemed to take a phra- si^ in conversing with me, and occasionally we took a KILINSKI, THE SHOEMAKER OF WARSAW. . 1*1;* "•'^ constitution of the third of May, 1791, was hailed by the Polish jH-opje with deliirht. A new era •^d comnicnced—the citizens were placed on a h'vel with tiw nobles, and thc?y proved thimselves worthy of the trust "'posed. Their expectations of public happiiiess and irn- ^i!!ir"*' ^ow'^^ver, wete crushed in the bud by a per- juredlung, who had joined the worst enemy of his native ^TI^d'"* ''""''P''*'*<'y against its independence. > he Polish capital, at this time, exhibited a sintnilar jppctacle.

The "»'« king, shunning the public eye, had retired with ' B»««tresses into the re-esses of' his palace. Sum- * nine, for his protection, a body of Russian troops un- T treoeral Iglestn.m, he dismiss^'d the Polish regiments " *" *^ arsaw, and intrusted the command of the small t tiui contemptible courtier. Meanwhile the brave gltss of brandy tc»gctl»or. On the Tuoidoy before Laatcr, to inc by tl»e Abbe Mek'r. h«' called upon me to buy a {tail of slux-s, ami afU'r some conversation on different mutters, lie exacted of me a a pledge of secrecy, and then earnestly advised me to take my wife and childrun out of W arsfiw witlnnit delay, and not to return until a fortnight had elnpse«d. I entreal- e<l further ex| lanation, and heard that tlie Russians in- tended lo plundei the city, and massacre the ^leople, 011 the following Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, when most of the inhabitants would be collected in the churches, to celebrate the resurrection of the Saviour^*-— Thunderstruck at this intelligence, 1 plied my Russian friend w ith bramly ; he became more conuiuinicative, and informed me that the infiinious Bishop Koss.ikowski was the contriver of this plot and that the dastard Ozarowski, conunandant of Warsaw, had received instructions from the King to join the Russians as socm as the massacre com- menced. He added that preparations for the attack were in rapid j)rogress ; that many Russian soldiers out of uni- form were already in the city, and that they would l>e pro- vided with arms from the depot in the suburb of Piaga. *' Soon after the Russian officer had quitted me, I hastened to every man upon whom I could rely, and hap- pily theie were wry many Poles who could tiust each other. 1 apprizcnl them of tla; approaching [M>ril, and a* they were too numerous to be concealed in my own dwelling, I tohl them to meet me at four o'clock en tUtt following morning at thi> ariiUery barracks in tlie suburb* I knew that the Polish soldiers would join us to a man, but I doubted the superior otTicers, many of whom were young nobles of cowardly and effeminate habits. 1 did not hesitate, however, to trust the subaltern*, who readily- engaged to bring the privates over to us in tlie hour of need. '* When the conference took place at the barracks, the assembled master tradesmen and subalterns offered lo mo the command of the Polish troops and people. Doubt- ing much my capacity to undertake tlio charge, I hesitated awhile to consent. Pressed,: however, by the whole as- sembly and recollecting the bri-jht example of the Roman shoemaker, who, without military science, had defiatcd the enemies of his country, I t<H>k heart and accepted the command, trusting that courage, {latriotiMn and reliance on the aid of Providence, would supply the want ut mili- tary tactics. " After having appointed another conference at ele- ven o'clock the following night, and arranged varioua preparations, and the better lo qualify myself for so great an enter)iri]», I t< . . ivej jifter confession, the Indyr sacrament from the Ablie Meier then joined liim in A-r- vent supplication to God, to bless our patriotic underta- king. " At the appointed hour of ehven at niulit, 1 went to meet my iVit-nds at the bariackt", and gave tlKUi final in- structions to be on the alert all night, and to apprize all their adherents to he in readini ss to repair to their posta ai the report of the first cannon, alter which all th** fire* bells in the city were to ringttp the entire jiopulation. The lancers of the royal guards had arrived iliat day in Warsaw. They knew nothing of the intended insurrec- tion, but I was enabled by (Jod's nuTcy to obtain their hearty co-operation in our sacred cause, as will presently apjiear. Not having a sufficiency of horses fi»r tin- ar- tillery, I gave orders to my friends fo have a hundred and fifty curt-horses in readiness for tiiis purpose. I then con- cealed six thousiind ball cartridges and as many flints ia my own cart, and proceeded homeward. On my way I met a bcxiy of lancers of the guard taking the nightly round through tlw? city. Knowing the iiK-n lo bo triM* Poles, and right willing to aid an attack upon the savage and lawh>ss Russians, I got out of my car, addnssed th«> commanding officer, and beL'ge«l him to give me a hear- ing in a tavein clos<' at hand. IL- rouM^nted, md tlare, although I knew him not, I revealed to bin- our inten- tion and our resources. He was a Hue Pole, his eye* flaslied as lie listened, and he swore to assist our great purjwse by every means in his power. In short, this brave man promiM'd bis best endeavours toL bring over the whole regiment, and assured me of his latitude for the trust I had re|M)sed in his honour and |Mitrioti%ni. *' After my return home I made my will,aiul pIkmI it under the pillow of my witii', who was fast asleep, and had no knowledge of tlie irn|K,nding struggleTwo hundred of my adherents, for whom I had rocmi in my house and work slio|)s, now successively arrived, and I provided them ball cartridges and flints. Folding up the remaining flints and cartridges in two napkins, I carried tlwin to tlie soldiers of the city guard, who were as yet ignorant of the intended, rise. Tliese brave fillows instantly and joyfully promise^! their assistance, thankfully acceptftg my offer of ammu- nition, and promising to defend tlie entrance into one of the main streets. During the night, however, a subaltern of the city-guard who bad been panic struck when he heard that a struggle with our savage oppressors was close at hand hastened lo the President of the city, and betrayed all he knew. Tl»«» president proceeded instantly to the king, who despatched an aiil-de-camp to (ien. Igelsti^ni, and thus our purpot-o was revealed to one who lost no time in prepartnf^ for resistance and aggression. Happily, liowevcr, this intel- ligence did not reach him until within an hour of tlie time appointed for the signal gun, and the Asiatic slowness of the Russian soldiery was greatly in favour of the city.

He's d***'ing the iiahuiuas.

THERE'S Ml SIC IN A MOTHER'S VOICE.There's music in a mother's voice,

More sweet than breezes sighing;

Then-'s kindness in a mother's glance.

Too pure for ever dying.

There's love within a mother's breast,

So deep, 'tis iitill o'erflowing.

And care for those she calls her own,That's ever, ever growing.

There's anguish in a mother's tear,

When larfwcll fondly takiiuj.

That so the heart of pify moves.

It scarcely keeps from breaking.

And when a mother kneels to Heaven,Ami for b«'r child is pravin^;,

That burns in all she's saying .'

A mother ! how her tender arts

80 ia numbered with the dead.

But :he Beauty of the soulCannot faile while time shall roll

And its fire be always bright,

Nor its flame wax dim and old.

Nor Its heat be spent and cold.

Aye. that light that now is gleaming.And the radiance which is streaming,From the caverns of the breast,

Cannot like the Iwdv rest

Cannot like the flesh he dead.Nor its fire be s|M?nt and fbd.

General Madulinski had raised th© standard of revtdt in u

province swaniiing with enemies uiid Koseiusko had issued

at Cracow, a procbmaiion, calling upon all Poland to rise

against its ojipressors. The Rusaian troops in Warsaw,now found diemselves in a situation of imminent peril

;

being hemmed in by u large and hostile jiopulution, anddependent on a treacherous and vacillr(ing king for sanc-tion and .sufiport. Conscious that they could only eiscape

destruction by prompt andvigourous measures, thev deter-

mined to avail tlnMiiselves of the Empress's orders, whichauthorised tlieni in cast; of need, to fire the city, and putall the inhubitants to the sword. Before, however, their

intention became public, a master shoemaker in V\ arsawdetermined to intercept it by reVolt. He lost not an in-

stant, but, difl'iising his own enerjjy amongst the people,

accomplished a general insurrection in Warsaw, two ilays

before the intended plunder and destruction of the city.

General Igleslium and his Russians weiu con){K;lled to

make a hasty retreat ; the constitution of the third ofMay was re-established, and tlie iNinest shoemaker, whohud been the head and front of this timr-ly revolt, relin-

(juished his command to another, and declining all dis-

tinctions and reward, contented himself with becomingan active member of the upper council of the regency,appointed at that time. At a later pi-riod, when the en-raged people demanded the head of their perjuretl mo-narch, the shoemakeragain interfered, and savedthe kiiif's

life at the risk of his own. He did more—for he shield-

ed even the king's minions from die fury of the people,and j)revailed upon the multitude to patiently await theevent ofa regular trial before the appointed tribunal. Inafter limes the patriotic and higli-minded Kilinski ex|>eri-

enced much persecution, and was often taunted with his

occupation by the oppressors of Poland. His fellow coun-trymen, however, revered him for the genuine nobility

of his soul, and the patiiotic shoemaker, who died ubout1816, was huneiited throughout Poland.

A memoir of this extraordinary man, drawn up byhimself, was circulated by numerous companions in manu-script, but never published in Waisaw, until lately, haviuL'

l)een forbidden by tlie censor. From the printed work,which is accurately copied after the oiiginal manuscriptin the han<l-writing of Kilinski, we have made the follow-ing extracts :

** Having been informed against by some spies of theRussian general, 1 received one morning n peremptorysummons to attend him. The bearer was a Russian officer,

who told me I shouid he ' through ti»e Mrttcts byhorses if I did not readily i.-uw^v. 1 immediately dressedmyself, an<l put a dagger into my hoot unobserved. I

found the General Igelstrom, waiting for me in the hall

of audience. * Thou art Kilinski V he began. * Yes,your excellency !' * Accursed tebel, villain, traitor, Ac,he pursued, until he had exhausted his catalogue of abuse,and at length he told me that he would have me bangednp«m the new gallows before the Capuchin nioiidstiy.

This torrent of abuse made me so iiulignant, that I felt

strongly disjxjsed to plunge my dagger into the tyrant's

bujast. Recovering, however, my self possession, I told

him, that I had mistaken his spies for real Polish traitors,

and had designedly drawn Uieni to get a knowledge oftheir intentions, with a determination to apprise him of theconspiracy. I reminded him too, that the municipalityhad received his express onlers to visit all places of publicresort, and to re|>orl all suspicious words or a|)[H'arances.

This explanation pacified him considerably, and when I

assurj'd him that all the syndics were well disposed towardsRussia, and determined to preserve order, bis anger va-nished, he brought a bottle of brandy from his clos(;t, andmade iiie drink with him. Growing more cordial withevery glass, he put many questions to me about the state

of public feeling in Warsaw, w liich 1 answered to his satis-

faction. At length lie inquired if I had many friends in the

city. Seeing no danger in a frank reply, I tohl him that

even a rumour of my arrest woiUd soon show him howmany friends I had ; nor did I hesitate to say, whenfartheiquestioned, that, ibroueh the workmen who had chosen meas their syndic, I couid in a few hours raise thirty Uiousandmen. Tlie Russian smiled at ih's intelligence, but I couldaee that he was startlwl, and, indeed, he ainmst instantly

dismissed me, fearine, probably, that my arrest had trans-pire«l, and would collect a numerons bo<lv ofmv adherentsaround his hotel. Thus did 1 escafic from a situation ofimminent |)eril.

** Soon after my return home, I received a visit fromthe patriotic Abbe Meier, who came to concert with me arising of the people acrainst the Russian garrison : With-out loss of time, we drew up the form of an oath to betaken by all who joined our cans*'. Then, aft«'r an earn-est prayer to the .Almighty for assistance, we sallied forth.

I called upon many citizens and arti/ans on whose patrio-

tic feelings I could rely, while the Abbe undertook to

sound the nobles rr'si«lent in Warsaw, amon^rst whom weremany brave and hit'h min«led men, and of these only onerefused to join us with heart and hand.*'

After detailing many instances of oppression and cruel-

ty inflicted by the savage Russians upon the citizens of

Warsaw, the narrator tlius proceeds :

" Meanwhile the festival of Easter was at hand, and onrpreparations were far advanced w hen accident revealed

to me a diabolical conspiracy, which was almost readyfor explosion.

I entreal-e<l further ex| lanation, and heard that tlie Russians in-

tended lo plundei the city, and massacre the ^leople, 011

the following Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, whenmost of the inhabitants would be collected in thechurches, to celebrate the resurrection of the Saviour^*-—Thunderstruck at this intelligence, 1 plied my Russianfriend w ith bramly ; he became more conuiuinicative, andinformed me that the infiinious Bishop Koss.ikowski wasthe contriver of this plot and that the dastard Ozarowski,conunandant of Warsaw, had received instructions fromthe King to join the Russians as socm as the massacre com-menced. He added that preparations for the attack werein rapid j)rogress ; that many Russian soldiers out of uni-

form were already in the city, and that they would l>e pro-

vided with arms from the depot in the suburb of Piaga.*' Soon after the Russian officer had quitted me, I

hastened to every man upon whom I could rely, and hap-pily theie were wry many Poles who could tiust eachother. 1 apprizcnl them of tla; approaching [M>ril, and a*they were too numerous to be concealed in my owndwelling, I tohl them to meet me at four o'clock en tUtt

following morning at thi> ariiUery barracks in tlie suburb*I knew that the Polish soldiers would join us to a man,but I doubted the superior otTicers, many of whom wereyoung nobles of cowardly and effeminate habits. 1 didnot hesitate, however, to trust the subaltern*, who readily-

engaged to bring the privates over to us in tlie hour ofneed.

'* When the conference took place at the barracks, theassembled master tradesmen and subalterns offered lo mothe command of the Polish troops and people. Doubt-ing much my capacity to undertake tlio charge, I hesitated

awhile to consent. Pressed,: however, by the whole as-

sembly and recollecting the bri-jht example of the Romanshoemaker, who, without military science, had defiatcdthe enemies of his country, I t<H>k heart and accepted thecommand, trusting that courage, {latriotiMn and reliance

on the aid of Providence, would supply the want ut mili-

tary tactics.

" After having appointed another conference at ele-ven o'clock the following night, and arranged variouapreparations, and the better lo qualify myself for sogreat an enter)iri]», I t< .

. ivej jifter confession, the Indyr

sacrament from the Ablie Meier then joined liim in A-r-vent supplication to God, to bless our patriotic underta-king.

" At the appointed hour of ehven at niulit, 1 went to

meet my iVit-nds at the bariackt", and gave tlKUi final in-structions to be on the alert all night, and to apprize all

their adherents to he in readini ss to repair to their postaai the report of the first cannon, alter which all th** fire*

bells in the city were to ringttp the entire jiopulation.

The lancers of the royal guards had arrived iliat day inWarsaw. They knew nothing of the intended insurrec-tion, but I was enabled by (Jod's nuTcy to obtain their

hearty co-operation in our sacred cause, as will presentlyapjiear. Not having a sufficiency of horses fi»r tin- ar-tillery, I gave orders to my friends fo have a hundred andfifty curt-horses in readiness for tiiis purpose. I then con-cealed six thousiind ball cartridges and as many flints iamy own cart, and proceeded homeward. On my way Imet a bcxiy of lancers of the guard taking the nightlyround through tlw? city. Knowing the iiK-n lo bo triM*

Poles, and right willing to aid an attack upon the savageand lawh>ss Russians, I got out of my car, addnssed th«>

commanding officer, and beL'ge«l him to give me a hear-ing in a tavein clos<' at hand. IL- rouM^nted, md tlare,although I knew him not, I revealed to bin- our inten-tion and our resources. He was a Hue Pole, his eye*flaslied as lie listened, and he swore to assist our greatpurjwse by every means in his power. In short, thisbrave man promiM'd bis best endeavours toL bring overthe whole regiment, and assured me of his latitude forthe trust I had re|M)sed in his honour and |Mitrioti%ni.

*' After my return home I made my will,aiul pIkmI it

under the pillow of my witii', who was fast asleep, and hadno knowledge of tlie irn|K,nding struggle—Two hundredof my adherents, for whom I had rocmi in my house andwork slio|)s, now successively arrived, and I provided themball cartridges and flints. Folding up the remaining flints

and cartridges in two napkins, I carried tlwin to tlie soldiersof the city guard, who were as yet ignorant of the intended,rise. Tliese brave fillows instantly and joyfully promise^!their assistance, thankfully acceptftg my offer of ammu-nition, and promising to defend tlie entrance into one ofthe main streets.

During the night, however, a subaltern of the city-guardwho bad been panic struck when he heard that a struggle

with our savage oppressors was close at hand hastened lo

the President of the city, and betrayed all he knew. Tl»«»

president proceeded instantly to the king, who despatchedan aiil-de-camp to (ien. Igelsti^ni, and thus our purpot-o

was revealed to one who lost no time in prepartnf^ for

resistance and aggression. Happily, liowevcr, this intel-

ligence did not reach him until within an hour of tlie time

appointed for the signal gun, and the Asiatic slowness ofthe Russian soldiery was greatly in favour of the city.

While my friends and I were arming for the strife, tho

report of artUlery (»ealed overtli- . and I rushed out,

POETRT.INVOC.VnON TO THE BARDS.

Sing praises to the blood-red Knight,

Ye bards wtihont a name.

Recount the lioitoiirs ol rlie fight,

That added to his tame.

Let inspiration nene your song.

Throw Homer in the shade,

Conjure Apollo and his throng.

And through his glories wade.

Tell, how when the battle raged.

Where deathly wrapcms flew,

Uow bright he look'd where danger waged,

His PEAR subduing, to subdue.

Tell, O ye bards ! how his head did vi«

The Brahman's idol bright;

How swift as meteors in the sky.

He whuCd when in a plight.

Tell how his sword as lightning gleamed.Like Falstatf 's in the play.

When o'er him England's banner streamed.

To crown the joyous day. P.\UL.

THE /FAHJAN HARP.I hear a soft, a plaintive note,

It seems o'er traiKpiil seas to float.

On Zej)liyr's softest wing 'tis borne.

Sure, 'tis a cachmce tuned to mourn ; ,

Or sing some hero's soul to rest,

Oo the ocean's chilly breast.

Ah ! 'tis a dirge, and sweetly sung ;

Or, tuneful kiiell by sea-nymphs rung.Spirits of air, descend to praise,

lo softent tones, a recpiiem raise!

Hark \ rut» they are holier sounds I hear.

Than come from any being of air I

Chaunting praises all his own-Do Angels throng Jehovah's throne?Yes ! in soft, full, harmonic swell.

They his uuceasing mercies tell

:

A thrilling burst of music breaks.

Whence David's Harp again awakes !

No. those are. sounds of an earthly sphere.

That so soothingly meet the ear

;

Tis the harp in yonder hall.

Answering th' passing night wind's call.

Oh, nearest heav'n's pure, transc«'n«lent choir.

Thine the cadence, sweet if-^ol.an Lyre

!

M.

Oh, bast thy precious life then fled ?

Ceas'd thy gen'rous heart to throb ?

And number'd with the silent dead,Wearcst thou the white death rube ?

The young and brave forever lost—

Early mingled with the ilust I

A mother's love—a father's boast,

Summon'd to the good and just.

Far from thy native Isle thourt laid.

In Afric's hostile land.

Thy last bed's made •,

Thy pillow ! ker burning sand.

No friendly step thy young grave seeks,No fond o'erflowing eye'

Sad o'er it weepj.No tender hearts near it sigh.

The desert's blast thy only wail.

The night's dew fjill,

Therf only weeps the tale.

Of thy sad—thy early call. M.
