AuAfter the election of Stanislaw Leszczynski a party of his supporters led by the newly appointed deputy army commander Antoni Pociej set out for Lithuania to beef up its defences against an impending Russian invasion. By bringing in their troops the Russians wanted to strengthen the king elect's opponents in Lithuania and secure the Polish crown for the Saxon contender Fryderyk August II. In December 1733 and January 1734 a number of local pro-Leszczynski confederations (assemblies) sprang up in Lithuania vowing to defend Poland's independence and the Roman Catholic faith. The momentum created by those initiatives helped to convene a general confederation at Wilno on 5 April 1734. Its participants called for concerted action against the Saxon contender and foreign intervention. In practice, however, they were not able to achieve any of their aims.

The first military census of the population of Galicia carried out in 1773 offers a unique insight into the demographic and economic potential of the territory annexed by Austria-Hungary after the First Partition of Poland (1772). The value of the Austrian acquisitions depended as a rule on their agriculture, which was by no means underdeveloped. If the former Voivodeship of Ruthenia (Lwów) topped the list with its huge royal estates (eg. the Sambor and Drohobycz landed estates) and minerals (eg. salt), it was closely followed by some regions on the right bank of the Vistula in the Voivodeships of Cracow and Sandomierz (eg. the county of Zator-Oswiecim)
