WARSAW, the capital of Warfovia in Poland, and indeed of the whole kingdom, stands on the Vistula, almost in the centre of the kingdom, and in N. Lat. 52. 14. and E. Long. 21. ; 154 miles south-east of Dantzic, 133 north of Cracow, and 300 north of Vienna. Here the king usually keeps his court in a large square palace, standing amidst delicate gardens and groves; and at this place are held the general diets, where there is such a concourse of people, that great numbers of them are obliged to live in tents. The city is large and populous, contains a great many churches, palaces, and convents, both within and without the walls, and is pretty well fortified. Here is also a stately castle, an arsenal, and a curious wooden bridge over the river. Count Zaluski's library, said to contain 200,000 volumes, was opened in 1746. The ordinary diets are held at the royal palace; but during the interregnum, in a field not far from the city, near the village of Wola. Goods are brought to the city by the Vistula and other rivers, and sent from thence to Dantzic. Baron Polnitz, who spent some time in this city, says, he observed the same politeness here as at Paris; that the ladies are amiable, witty, and sprightly, and passionately fond of music and plays. Near this city are two royal palaces, viz. Viasdow, pleasantly situated on the Vistula, and Villanow, where, in 1732, Augustus II. reviewed his troops, and made them go through all the different military exercises.
