And that Rzczplta is beaten and in the hands of his oppressors the power of all his own, his own from captivity, cannot lift himself up with strength, nothing remains but to flee with assurance to the large Catherine, who to the neighbouring nation, friendly and allied, with specified fame and justice reigns, thus safeguarding herself on the splendor of this large monarch, as well as on the treaties which bind her with Rzczplta.
Our demands are that Rzczplta should be granted, self-powerful, independent, within the limits of the whole, for for for centuries she has been subject to no 1 and whose property, inheritance, was not. - We request freedom, a decent nation, due to the fact that in it our ancestors have lived for centuries, due to the fact that we were born in it and want to die. - We request interior peace, lasting with the neighbors of peace, due to the fact that happiness, safety of property, not confusion of wars. - We request to establish a Republican government, due to the fact that we can't get utilized to another, due to the fact that another anxiety and ruin can only bring us.
These are our intentions, that we may be able to accomplish, the courageous aid of this large monarch, we call upon, which adornment and glory of our age, being despised by the vile jealousy and cunning of the deceits whose professions of courage crush and destruct it, the happiness of the nation to appreciate and to give them a helping hand.
The justice of our petitions, the sanctity of the treaties and alliances which unite it with the Rzczplta, and above all, the greatness of its soul, which is certain to us, gives us hope uninterested, wonderful, in a word, worthy of its help. ...
Our brethren, we call to you! We rise our hands to you, for this common Homeland that perishes, and which you can keep, it is not only about us that you will perish, and you, erstwhile Rzczplta dies, remember that where the court of tyranny is, there it is possible to drag its death in time, but not to avoid it, then or sooner all that breathes freedom must fall under the burden of despotism.
