General von Essen [Russian, we will hope] has had to escape from Laticzew, then from" some other place, "Pestilence chasing him everywhere." To apply to the Turks,--afflicted Polish Patriots prostrating themselves with the hope of despair, "Save us, your sublime Clemency; throw a ray of pity on us, Brother of the Sun and Moon: oh, chastise our diabolic oppressors!"-- this was one of the first resources of the Bar Confederates.

The Turks did give ear; not inattentive, though pretending to be rather deaf.

M.de Vergennes,--of whose "diplomatic bellows" we just heard (in fact, for diligence in this Turk element, in this young time, the like of him was seldom seen; we knew him long afterwards as a diligent old gentleman, in French-Revolution days),--M.

de Vergennes zealously supports; zealous to let loose the Turk upon Anti-French parties.

The Turks seem to wag their heads, for some time; and their responses are ambiguous.
