Council proclaimed the king dethroned October22 1770.The court of Versailles sent Charles François Dumouriez to act as commander-in-chief of the Confederates, but neither as a soldier nor as a politician did this adroit adventurer particularly distinguish himself, and his account of his experiences does great injustice to the Confederates.

 Ethnic conflicts in western Poland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tumble times of Bar Confederacy created a situation, when the foreign settlers sided on the government side, while some Poles sided with partisans.
Soon the Polish language was barred from all grammar and high schools in the provinces of Posen, West Prussia and Silesia, and the teachers were selected exclusively from among the Germans.
When the German Empire was established in 1871, the Polish provinces were made a part of Prussia with no recognition of their national character in spite of the guarantees given to them in the Treaty of Vienna and protests of the Polish representatives.

While the Bar Confederacy lasted, there was some publicity in Europe concerning Pulaski’s boldness and brilliance.

On the other hand, St. Petersburg believed (as confirmed in many statements of Russian officials) that the close collaboration of the Russian, Prussian and Austrian diplomates in Warsaw combined with threats and bribes as methods of inducing Poles to soften their positions would suffice to secure a substantial majority within the Chamber of Envoys.
The Reytan’s protestation against the confederacy and the first month of the Sejm marked by the successes of the King Stanislaw August and the Patriot Opposition that had gained some preponderance in the Chamber were supplemented by a demand to retreat from all extensions surpassing the delimitation of St. Petersburg convention.

 Amazon.com: A Confederacy of Dunces (Evergreen Book): Books: John Kennedy Toole   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The many subplots that weave through A Confederacy of Dunces are as complicated as anything you'll find in a Dickens novel, and just as beautifully tied together in the end.
It's become orthodox to say that Confederacy of Dunces is a `comic masterpiece' and perhaps it is. I certainly laughed out loud half-a-dozen times.
I suspect that later readings of this book will reveal a more fundamental tone of sad and desperate characters none of whom are in the least capable of love and who are therefore, not loveable themselves.
