After three hours' fighting the Russians were repulsed with severe loss. I was present, and have just returasdlrom the spot. . (Emu's CRACOW, Amu. 6. A fresh body of insurgents, under the command of Gregowies, have appeared in the neighbourhood of Oracow, and another in the vicinity of Marian,- poL They have interrupted the railway communi cation between Kowne and Eydonhnew. Lithuania is in open insurrection. A battle has been fought at Janow, near Kownow. Armed bodies of insurgents are in the environs of Willis, Wilkomierz, &wale, Towiany, and Poniewicz. The peasants take an active part in the move meat. CRACOW, Are, 4. The insurrection in the government of %own° is increasing. Ponaiwica has been taken by the in surgents. They have also captured Radom, which was evacuated by General Alzekows, sad seized the public treasury of that town. THE POLISH QUESTION. (sozaxes !SLIMILY.) VIENNA, Ann, 4. The modification now proposed in the identical note of the Western Powers to St. Petersburg in behalf of Poland is said to be of a tenor by which Austria might be indnoed to act as an aggressive power against Russia, and that Austria, therefore, courteously declined to agree to the adoption of such modification. In well-informed political circles here, there is a report current that K Drouyn de Lhuys would tender his resignation should the Emperor Na poleon make his warlike intentions a fait accompli. (asurioes TZLIGI RUSSIA. i, APIIL 5. The nobility of St. Petersburg have, in a meet ing, unanimously voted an address to the emperor expresaing their devotion to his Majesty and their painful indignation at the pretensions put forward to Russian territory, and promising not to shrink before any merinos to preserve the integrity of the empire. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, Arses 4. The rumour current a few days ago that Count Apponyi bad tendered his resignation, and that it had been accepted, was premature. Count Apponyi did not tender his resignation until yesterday, and it is very questionable whether it will be accepted by the Emperor. Under no cir cumstances, however, is any change to be expected in the policy of the government towards Hungary. IXICO.

The Federal Telegraph Superintendent at Baton Rouge hu telegraphed to Washington that Com modore Farragut's Seat paned Port Hudson at U o'clock on the night of the 14th inst, The steamer blias isaippi ran aground, and was abandoned and burnt. The firing on both sides was rapid and severe. General Itanks's army was within five miles of the enemy's works. No fighting except cavalry skirmishes ha' yet taken place. Washington despatches assert that the Navy De partment bad received information that tie Whole of Commodore Farragut's fleet exceptthe steamer Mississippi bad passed Port Hudson, and that that place would now be besieged. by the fleet from above in co-operation with the land forces. More reliable official informatics is auxiously awaited. The propels; of the Yazoo pass expedition is reported to be slow, and the navigation of the Yazoo pass difficult Several transports were dis abled in getting through the pass. The Federal& bad disembarked near Greenwood, and were be. sieging Fort Pemberton at the junction of the Yallabusha and Tallahatchie rivers. It is officially stated that the whole Federal expedition had arrived in Tallahatchie river on the 7th. The Federal having overhauled a Confederate steamer with 3,000 bales of cotton, the Confede• rates ran her ashore and burnt her. The Confederates burn the cotton on the plants tions as the, Federal army advances. _ _ The water has been let into the canal at Lake Providence. The aperture is 20 feet wide, and is still widening. The water is pouring in with great force, and the greater part of the town of Lake Providence was submerged. The Confederates at Vicksburg are said to be living almost exclusively on corn meal. The Con federates are reported to have recrossed Duck River, Tennessee, in force, and General Joe John ston is expected to take personal command of the army fronting General Rosenoranz. A large Confederate force is reported to be en camped in Hawkins County, Tennessee, preparing for a raid into Kentucky through • gap near Pound Gap. The Confederates have captured and burned Mount Sterling, in Kentucky ; 900 Federal troops in the town surrendered. It was supposed that they would next attack Paris. General Roeenaranz officially reports that Hall's speakers declared their intention to combine against the encroachments of capital. At a meeting of the Mozart Hall Democratic As soeiation resolutions were adopted strongly oppos ing the wet policy of the government, denouncing loyal leagues, and calling a macs meeting of the de mocraq. John Tau Buren and James Brady were de nounced as reorients of the democratic party. It was said that there were no war democrats, as any man supporting the war policy of the administra tion ceased to be a democrat, and became an abo litionist Loyalty was declared to be a monarchial derivative not known in republican dictionaries. brigade encountered eight or ten regiments of Con federate cavalry, under Generals Morgan and Breceinridge, near Walton, and defeated them. The negro expedition from Port is reported to have captured Jacksonville, Florida. General Burnaide has arrived at Cincinnati. He will command the department of Ohio. There are reported to be one hundred and thirty thousand deserter from the Federal army, reckon ing from the beginning of the war. The Richmond journals speculate upon an early movement by General Hooker. They think that he intends engaging the Confederates on the old ground near Fredericksburg, whilst a large portion of bis army passes the Rappahannock far higher, and attacks Lee in the rear. If General Lee's force is not sufficient to prevent the completion of this niaineuvre, he will fall back upon some point near Richmond. The Southern journals urge the attention of the government to the railroads, which are getting in bad condition; as the Confederate armies depend for their existence and maintenance upon the rail roads, and if the railroads fail, the Confederate armies must retreat and surrender much valuable country. It is reported from Galveston that the French Consul, M. Thdron, has been expelled ; by Jefferson Davis, for intriguing to take Texas out of the Southern Confederacy. The privateer Florida coaled at Barbadoes ou the 23rd. Considerable excitement has been caused in Wall-street, by a report that a guano-laden vessel had been burned by the Florida off Barbadoes. NEW YOBS, KAzon 25, Eviarttra. It is officially reported from Washington that Com modore Farragut's flag-ship Hartford alone passed the Pest Hudson Batteries. The other Federal vessels were driven bask. The Hartford was at Warrenton, 12 miles south* of Vicksburg. Commo dore Farraget's secretary had left to communicate with Admiral Porter at Vicksburg. It is also officially reported that Admiral Porter's . fleet of five iron-clads had passed through Deer Creekresad had &Witless resehed Yazoo River. The burning of the steamer Minissippl is con firmed. The steamer Constitution sailed from San Francine° on the 23rd for Panama, with 880,000 dela. in specie for England. . . . . . News has been received here that the San Domingo insurrection has been suppressed. The City of Manchester has arrived out. It is reported that Secretary Chase will not put a loan on the market for some time. The government is said to be receiving daily from different sources nearly two-and-a-half million dollars, which amount covers the daily expenses of the war. The sale of 5 dollar 20 per cent. bonds continues to increase, and the demand for these bonds on foreign account is stated to be large. The fall in gold has seriously unsettled all market., and some articles are paralysed. NEW YORK, )(Awe 25,1lownsca. The Philadelphia Bulletin publishes s despatch from Port Pemberton, saying that the Federal battery at Greenwood was dismounted, and the Feder&la were acting on the defensive. Quimby's Yawl division was on the Cold Water River, and was expected to reach Greenwood in two days, to reinforce the Federals at that point. It is reported from Bt.. Louis that the Federal steamer Diligent, with one regiment, has succeeded in entering the Yazoo river above Haines Bluff by passing through Sunflower river. Four ironclads were to follow. If this report be correct, the Federals will be enabled to attack Yazoo city in the rear. It is rumoured that Haines Bluff is evacuated. It is also reported that two of Commodore Parra gut's gunboats have reached the lower mouth of the Vicksburg Canal. The present Federal force on the Yazoo river is considered insufficient for the reduction of Fort Pemberton. The Feder&ls have cut the levees on the Yazoo river, which it was thought would drown the Con federates out. The river is falling at Vicksburg, and the fears entertained of an overflow of the Federal camping ground have subsided. There is skirmishing along the whole front of the Federal army at Murfreesboro'. The Confederates have crossed the Cumberland river and captured Danville, Kentucky. Five million dollars in legal tender notes have been converted into 5 dollar 20 per cent. bonds within the last ten days. Considerable movements and many strikes are taking place among the working men for higher wages. A large meeting has been held and resolu tions paired to organise a league of all trades for i.the bettor wordy of the rights of labour. Tho COILIaRCIAL INTELLIGINCL NEW YORK, NAN= 25, Emma.

The very latest reports from Cairo state that seven of Commodore Farragnt's steamers have run the Por, nucleoli blockade. The Hartford and another vessel were at the canal at Vicksburg, and the remainder at the mouth of the Red River. One gunboat had gone up the Yazoo river above Haines's Bluff. INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have received advice, from Bombay to March 13, and from Calcutta to March 4. The progress of the Viceroy still engroeses public interest. His Excellency entered Delhi with pomp and pageantry on the morning of the 3rd March. Mutter was visited on the 21st Feb ruary. Meerut was expecting a similar honour on the 6th March. The Comn;:ider-in-Chief of India at latest dates was en route by Lohoo Ghat to Almon, Nynee and Moradabad. From the latter place he was to proceed to Meerut to meet the Vieeroy. His Excellency the Governor of Bombay, accom panied by Lady Frere and staff, arrived at the Presidency from Sudashewghur on the morning of the sth Mar ch . His Excellency purposes visiting Simi in the month of May neat. His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of Bombay arrived at the Presidency from his northern tour on the 4th March, and proceeded to , Poona by the evening train on the 10th March, ea route to Mahableehwar. Sir C. Trevelyan, it is rumoured, intends to abolish the tax on salt raised in India, and increase the duty on imported malt. He is gradually carrying out his measures of economy and reduction of public expenditure. In the Legislative Council of his Excellency the Viceroy and Governor-General on the 90th Feb., Mr. Harrington introduced a bill to provide for the speedy adjudication of claims to waste lands, when Sir Charles Trevelyan suggested that in order to avoid the raising of such claims it would be an ex cellent plan that ail land supposed to belong to go vernment and considered desirable for sale should be surveyed, in order that a good stock of waste land for sale might always be in the market. He considered that thia would be an effectual security against the raising of private claims when the land was, as the survey of the land would be, a matter of local notoriety. He added that the practice had generally obtained in Ceylon and had had, he be lieved, a most beneficial effect. The total exports of cotton from the central pro vinces for this season, inclusive of the balance of stock of the previous year reserved by speculators in the hope of prime rising, may be calculated to amount to from 20 to 22 millions of pounds (9,600 tons). This large raportation may be expected to reach the seaboard before the close of the season— about 6,000 tons for Bombay, 2,000 tons for Mirza pore and Calcutta, and 1,600 tons for Cuttack. The present cotton cultivation of Mysore is estimated at 175,000 acres. Intelligence from Jynteah to the 20th February is to the effort that the country is tolerably peaceful. The British Indian Association of Calcutta has held a meeting for the purpose of adopting an address to Sir Charles Wood expressive of the re spect and gratitude of the native community for hie wise and beneficent administration of Indian affairs. The Commissioners appointed to try Captain Hurst, who lost the steamer Jason, have suspended his certificate for a period of twelve months, and ordered it to be given up for transmission to the Board of Trade. He has protested against the jurisdiction of the Court of Enquiry, and against their decision, and threatens to have the question broincht before the High Court on appeal. It is currently rumoured in native society in Ben gal, that the infamous Nana of Bithoor is still living, and that he visited Bemires last year for a short time.

Numbers of forged currency notes still continue to be put into circulation at Bombay, and two cases were under investigation by the police. His Excellency Sir William Mansfield, at the conclusion of the review parade of the 72nd High landers at Mow, in his address to that regi ment, declared them to be a pattern to the British army. That stupendous railway work, the Bhore Ghent Incline, was to be fully completed by the contrac tor's agents, Messrs.

A committee has been appointed by government, and certain rules passed for the future care and maintenance of the garden containing the remains of those who were massacred at Cawnpore in July, 1857. It is designated the "Memorial Garden," and it has been placed in charge of an European custodian, underthe supervision of the committee. There is a rumour that government, on the re commendation of his Excellency the Commander in-Chicf, intends to live full instead of half baits to the officers of regiments stationed in Poona and Bombay, to compensate them for the vast increase in the rents of houses and prices of provisions in the last five orris years.

(nom on ONE 0091 PARIB, BLIVIDAT Evnrma The Courrier du Diniatiehe publishes a despatch upon the Polish question from Fart Russell to Lord Napier ' dated the 2nd of March, which it deseribes as new and authentic. The Chewier du Divisanche does not think that Prince Gortachakoff has given any official answer to this despatch ; but from what has transpired of conversations between him and Lord Napier, it would appear that the language of the cabinet of St. Petersburg, more particularly of late, is net of a nature to discourage those who hop for equitable and spontaneous coneemsions on the part of the Emperor Alexander. The Nation affirms (and there are statements in other quarters to the same effect) that the despatch in question has now nothing more than an historical interest, and that it has been abandoned by Lord Russell himself. Negotiations, the initiative of which was taken by Francs, speedily showed the head of the London Foreign-office that his views, so far as they took the treaties of 1815 for their basis, were not shared either at Paris or Vienna. The Patios proceeds to report the story already told, that new proposals made since the return of Prince de Metternich to Paris are to be drawn up by Austria on behalf of the three powers. It will be remembered that M. Billault, in his speech on Polish affairs in the Senate, very emphatically repudiated the position that the treaties of 1.815 contained a remedy for the present condition of Poland, and therefore the present assertions of the Nation ale worth atten tion. I observe, however, that the France, while 'peaking of fresh negotiations as being on foot, says that the information relative to them is very contradictory ; and it admits—so far justifying Lord Russell's despatch—that, however much the treaties of 1815 may require modification so far as regards Poland, " they constitute the one and only stand-point upon which it is possible to take any diplomatic action whatever." The quarrel between Liingiewicz and Mieroelawski, is lamentable evidence of the dissensions which afflict the friends of Poland. From the tone of the clerical prints here, I infer that Langiewicz is the champion of the Catholic and feudal party ; and that Mieroelawski is obnoxious because be is connected with French and Italian liberals; the Gazette de France stigmatises him as "the Polish Blanqui." News has arrived that Colonel d'Auvergne, the head of General Foray's staff, has broken his leg by a fall from his horse. His duty with the army of Mexico is taken provisionally by Colonel Maslow. Colonel d'Auvergne is • well-known officer, and was with General Foray as chief of his staff both in the Crimea and in Italy. A letter to the Bishop of Orleans on the events in Poland, by M.
