Count Pyotr Bestuzhev-Ryumin, governor of the Duchy of Courland and Ambassador to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on behalf of his Imperial Majesty by the grace of God, the most excellent and great sovereign prince Pyotr Alekseevich the ruler all the Russias: of Moscow, of Kiev, of Vladimir, of Novgorod, Tsar of Kazan, Tsar of Astrakhan and Tsar of Siberia, sovereign of Pskov, great prince of Smolensk, Tversk, Yugorsk, Permsky, Vyatsky, Bulgarsky and others, sovereign and great prince of Novgorod Nizovsky lands, Chernigovsky, of Ryazan, of Rostov, Yaroslavl, Belozersky, Udorsky, Kondiisky and the sovereign of all the northern lands, and the sovereign of the Iverian lands, of the Kartlian and Georgian Kings, of the Kabardin lands, of the Circassian and Mountain princes and many other states and lands western and eastern here and there and the successor and sovereign and ruler, has arrived in the city of Warsaw.
Ryumin and his entourage of 50 men enter the city gates in the midst of frantic preparations for the expected siege. Men could be seen hurrying hither and tither with great timbers and barrows of dirt, the Russians were deeply impressed by the Polish efforts, but could not shake a feeling of dread, knowing that they were entering a city which would soon be surrounded by a seemingly implacable foe. Nonetheless Ryumin and his compatriots take up their lodgings at a grand house in the city, not for from the Royal residence. Messages are sent to court asking permission for Ryumin to present his letters of mark and himself.
