The Węgrów Powiat of the former Siedlce Gubernia was incorporated into the Łomża Gubernia. The remaining territory of the former Siedlce Gubernia was incorporated into the Lublin Gubernia. These changes eliminated the Siedlce Gubernia and resulted in the administrative divisions of the Congress Kingdom of Poland as follows:

The War of the Fourth Coalition against Napoleon’s French Empire ended with the Treaties of Tilsit, the first signed on 07 July 1907 between the French Empire and Imperial Russia, and the second signed on 09 July 1807 between the French Empire and the Kingdom of Prussia.
In 1807, the Treaties of Tilsit resulted in the creation of of the Duchy of Warsaw from the territories previously acquired by Prussia during the partition of Pland. Part of the territories from the first, all of the second, and all of the third Prussian partitions of Poland became the Duchy of Warsaw.
The War of the Fifth Coalition against the French Empire ended with the Peace in Schrönbrunn on 14 October 1809. As a result, the Duchy was enlarged by the addition of the territories acquired by Austria during the third partition of Poland and the Zamość Kreis of Eastern Galicia.
While nominally free, the Duchy of Warsaw was subordinate to the French Empire.
