ON THE CONDITION AND NEEDS OF THE LITHUANIAN GOVERNORATE IN 1810 IN THE LIGHT OF THE PROTOCOLS FOR THE ACTIVITIES OF THE NOBLE DELEGATION IN ST. PETERSBURG Summary In 1810 a serious rift occurred in Franco-Russian relations. The outbreak of war between the two powers was becoming more and more likely. The Government in St. Petersburg decided to take action to build a pro-Russian faction in Lithuania to weaken the pro-Napoleonic atmosphere there. St. Petersburg’s main collaborator in this work was Michał Kleofas Ogiński, who concocted plans for the restoration, with Russian assistance, of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Kingdom of Poland under Russian rule, as a competitor to the Napoleonic Duchy of Warsaw created in 1807. Tsar Alexander I also tried to convince the Lithuanian nobility to accept his policy by granting them the economic incentives and concessions which they sought. In 1810 a delegation of Vilnius nobility went to St. Petersburg and tried to get tax relief, a change in the regulations concerning recruits, the establishment of courts for the demarcation of goods, a change in the organisation and financing of the Vilnius High Court, and an amendment in the procedure for the selection of provincial officials. Similar demands were later presented by the Grodno nobility. The result of these efforts was a series of legal acts issued as of October 1810 which included most of the nobility’s demands.

The example of the nobility of the guberniya of Vilnius, who in 1810 dared to submit a series of economic demands to the Russian government, prompted a similar action amongst the nobility of the Grodno guberniya. In August 1810 a delegation was appointed that was to travel to the capital. At its head in November 1810 was Duke Xavier Drucki-Lubecki, who moved toward the Neva at the end of the same year. The delayed departure of the noble envoys was due to difficulties with the formation of the delegation and the unstable position of the governor and the guberniya’s marshal of the nobility, the lack of funds, personal animosities, and disbelief in part of the nobility in the sense of the project and its success.

Przykład szlachty guberni wileńskiej, która w 1810 r. ośmieliła się złożyć rządowi rosyjskiemu szereg postulatów ekonomicznych, skłonił do podobnego działania szlachtę guberni grodzieńskiej. W sierpniu 1810 r. wybrała ona delegację, która miała się udać do stolicy. Na jej czele w listopadzie 1810 r. stanął książę Ksawery Drucki-Lubecki, który ruszył nad Newę w końcu tego samego roku. Opóźniony wyjazd szlacheckich wysłanników był spowodowany trudnościami ze sformowaniem składu delegacji, chwiejnym stanowiskiem gubernatora i gubernialnego marszałka szlachty, brakiem funduszy, animozjami osobistymi i niewiarą części szlachty w sens przedsięwzięcia i jego sukces.
