The Society of Dresden is this winter much improved
by the arrival of many Polish refugees of the first
distinction — We have here at present Marechal
Potosky the principal leader of the party which carried
the late revolution into execution - His Brother the
General, General Tabiello, Prince Czartorisky & several
other members of the celebrated patriotic Diet —
They are all most excellent characters & in the present
extraordinary times are proscribed & calumniated
as criminals for having dared to sacrifice voluntarily
a part of their privileges & their property in order
to promote a greater degree of happiness among their
fellow citizens. I have the happiness to be frequently in
their Society & from the anecdotes I hear I cannot help
regretting the favourable moment that we lost to humble
the ambition of that female Monster the success of
whose projects is so disgraceful to Humanity, & which
might have prevented many of the calamities which
have since happened — Abbé Piatoli is also here
