Letters from Warsaw advise that the Dissenters confederated at Thorn had resolved to send a solemn deputation to the King, to represent to his Majesty that the most urgent necessity had obliged them to enter into that league, and to beseech him at the same time not to take it in an ill light. This resolution, it seems, occasions more surprise than the confederacy itself; and people are very impatient to see whether the King will receive the deputies or not, and in the first case what answer he will give them.
