On August 21, the camp near Kobylnica was marked. The election of the director of the Sołtyk voivodeship, prepared near Laszki and Ryszkowa, was made here and it was added that he could not be under anyone's command, except the marshal-general of the confederation. The case of King Stanisław, who was forced to leave Gdańsk captured by the Muscovites and take refuge in Królewiec, from where he called for support for his cause and pointed to French help, was very bad; the voivodeship felt the advantage of the Muscovites at home and suffered harm and insults from the Russian troops, as in Galicia, but it did nothing decisive. From near Kobylnica, the nobility moved to Ryszkowa Wola, where the demonstrators, such as Dzieduszycki, Uliński, and Ustrzycki, were pelted with remanifestoes, accusing them of insubordination, breaking the unity of the nobility, etc. Near Kobylnica, on September 3, the regimental officer was already called to fold the banners after the campaign was over, because they would only cause the destruction of the property. The ruin caused by the Muscovite troops was much greater than their own, so compensation was promised to the destroyed landowners, of course in the future. It was decided to turn the entire regiment into the Land Militia and it was decided to go underground.

On September 18, a popular uprising was limited near Makuniów, but they want to stand behind the Duktor's universal armed forces, but they do not order any remuneration for functions or exemptions from taxes, except for those severely affected by fire, but they order the estate of the Bishop of Przemyśl to be collected for unpaid tax. Of course, the opponents demonstrate that their veto was not intended for private purposes, but for the good of the Republic of Poland; they are angry that the Duke's party, even at Mościska, voted for foreign troops just to please their own interests, not those of the homeland. Therefore, when staff officers and officers were appointed near Kobylnica, opponents demonstrated their intention to infringe on the rights of the majesty.

The next day, September 19, they moved to Rudki, where they were supposed to gather to calm down the military, but Ductor Sołtyk did not come. The opponents immediately filed a manifesto against the director and the arrest of staff and officers, which were not the militia. Mr. Mniszek decided, because this matter was to be stopped until the meeting of the entire voivodeship.

From the manifesto of the Przemyśl nobility, submitted to the acts of the Przemyśl town on October 7, we see that both Sołtyk, the Duke, and the Przemyśl landowners stood faithfully by Stanisław, and their opponents were the pseudo-elections of August III and treated hostilely those who shed the blood of their countrymen, desecrated churches, exempted brothers in the lands from war service, and dismissed tribunals under arms. they intended, etc. These were harsh accusations that required an answer.

Already on October 11, Bazyli Ustrzycki responded with a manifesto that he, the commandant of the new foreign militia, was not the cause of the revolution at Ryszkowa Wola, but the reason was given by those who waive the liberum veto with jokes and left us at Ryszkowa Wola.

Preface XIX

They moved to Kobylnica themselves, and they used the money not for the militia dedicated to themselves, but for private purposes. Deputies were also sent to the regiment, and the tax decided at Makuniów was confirmed. But the Polish Republic's oppression was not forced out, in fact they were ordered to ask the regiment not to let the land be oppressed by the army. Further lauds show that the landowners, even those from Sanok, terrified of the violence of the Moscow army, send a request to the Prince of Hessen-Homburg, who commands Russian forces in the voivodeship, for mercy for the landowners. The landowners are bowing before the strength of the Muscovites. The fight for principles was only a cover for their state egoism.
