FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,
_Yesterday arrived with the Mails from Holland and
Flanders._
_Warsaw, Dec. 5._
THE Waywodes of Volchinia and Podolia have sent three deputies here to
make representations to the King and the permanent Council, with
respect to the delivery of the corn that has been demanded by the
Russian Army encamped in Poland. These Deputies have had an audience
at the last meeting of the Supreme Council, at which they solicited,
“That the King and Supreme Council would be pleased to devise means,
which by preventing famine, terminating the grievances of the
inhabitants, and quieting dissensions, might strengthen and give
efficacy to the resolutions of the nobility, the more so as these
resolutions are consonant to the principles of justice and equity.”
