Warsaw, the metropolis of the present kingdom of Poland, and formerly of the whole county of that name. It is built partly in a plain, and part- ly on a gentle rise from the Vistula ; extending with theflsuburbs of Kraha and Praga, over a vast extent of ground, and containing above 100,000 inhabitants. The streets are spacious, but ill pav- ed ; the churches and public buildings large and magnificent; the palaces of the nobility numer- ous and splendid ; but the greatest part of the houses, particularly in the suburbs, are mean and ill-constructed wooden hovels. The manufac- tures comprise woolen stuffs, carpeting, gold and silver wire, soap, tobacco, &c. Here are several wholesale mercantile houses, employed in the im- port of articles for the supply of the interior, and the export of Polish produce. Two great annual fairs have, since 1817, been established here, on the plan of those ofFrankfoft, Leipzig, &c. They are held in May and November, each continuing three weeks. In the beginning of 1784, the em- press of Russia put a garrison into this city, in older to compel the Poles to acquiesce in the usurpation she had in view; but this garrison was soon expelled by the citizens. The king of Prussia besieged Warsaw in July, but was com- pelled to raise the siege in September. It was xe2x80xa2undertaken by the Russians, who, in November, took by storm the suburb of Praga, massacred the inhabitants, and nearly reduced it to ashes. The immediate consequence was the surrender of the city to the Russians, who in 1796, delivered it up to the king of Prussia. Towards the end of 1806, the French occupied this place; and, by the treaty of Tilsit, the city, with this part of Poland, was given to Saxony, to be held under the title of itli# duchy of Warsaw. The Russians, how- ever overran this duchy in 1813, and took pos- session of the city of Warsaw. The Polish revolution of 1830 broke out at this place, and the Russian Grand Duke Constantine was driv- en from the city: but in 1831 Warsaw was again captured by the Russians which put an end to the insurrection. The city suffered severely by the pestilential cholera the same year, which was introduced from Asia by the Russian armies. Warsaw is 170 m. S. of Konigsberg and 180 E. N. E. of Breslau. Long. 21. 0.
