[London.] George Grochantzky, a Polander, who had inlisted
as a soldier, in the service of the King of Prussia,
deserted during the last war; a small party was sent in
pursuit of him, and when he least expected it, they
surprized him singing and dancing among a company of
peasants, who were got together in an Inn and were making
merry. . . [many lines describing his arrest, the resulting
semi-comatose, paralyzed state into which the arrest sent
him, his death on the 20th day following. . . finally:] The
singularity of this case has been the subject of much
speculation in Germany.
