MARCH 16. THE most important struggles of the last half century have been between the popular and the military powers. The struggle has been carried on with varying fortune—at one time the people and at another time armies being triumphant. At last it seemed decided that in the great military mo narchies the numbers and warlike appliances, espe cially the artillery, of regular armies rendered them superior to any popular insurrection, however brave the nation. The question, however, is not decided. At the present moment the armies of the two greatest military Powers are held in check and baffled by resistance which is essentially that of the people. We would not do the Poliah patriot the injus tice of putting the Mexican on a level with him. But the military phenomena on the other side of the Atlantic are even more striking than those which claim attention in Europe, and strongly demonstrate the superiority which popular defence Buy acquire over military attack. Although the Mexicans should be beaten, they have established what it was necessary for them to prove—the hopelessness of their definitive subjugation ; and the French are believed to be merely aiming at that amount of success which will enable them to withdraw with honour fiom an enterprise under taken in rash and ignorant presumption. Over the Polish insurrection military men in general shook their heads. What could men do with scythes t Yet experience has shown that victories may be gained with those rude weapon Scythemen cannot fight at a distance, or engage for hours in that murderous yet resultlese fusillade which is the characteristic of so many re cent American engagements. They must rusk on their foe or fly from him ; they have no alternative ; and we know which of them the gal. lent Poles universally choose. The results, hitherto in favour of the insurgents, have bees as startling to military men as the hesitation of General FORXT before Puebla. It was given out with authority some time due, that the Polish insurrection would be speedily put down ; that, in fact, WIELOPOLIZI had foreseen, and in part provoked it, for the sake of getting rid of thoee unquiet spirits who prevented any acceptance of Russian concessions ; that the Musson was prepared to grant all that rational Poles could ask ; and that their pacifi cation and the restoration of the Polish lring• dom and constitution were events to be looked for. The tidings of successive days seem to belie such assertions, and to demonstrate the futility of such hopes. If W1114P0147.1 and the Rassiaoa believed them, we should see some trace of the expectation in their conduct. if the Cossacks persisted in burning the thatched homestead of the peasant, they would at least respect the chateau of the Polish proprietor and noble. Because if accommodation is to take place between Poland and Russia it must be through the upper duns, and if the cabinet of St. Petersburg had conceived the idea of conciliation it would not have taken a course which drives the Polish gentlemen into the ranks of the insurgent& But the Rind= commanders have ev:dently got no such order. Their rale is not only war to the cottage, but war to the palace. They burn villages and destroy country man sions, slaying as many of the inmates as they conveniently can. It is a war against the whole Polish people, and with such atrocities that con ciliation or compromise is out of Vie guess-ion. London has contained numbers of Polish gentlemen who pride themselves upon being Conservatives, and eschewing revolutionary modes and revolu tionary men. But at the report of the universal devastation which the Russians are inflicting on their country, these gentlemen fling their pre ferences end aversions to the winds, and declare any amount of popular excitement not only jus tified, but inevitable. The conduct of the Russian officers and soldiers during the last six weeks has removed all difference of parties amongst the Poles. The desolating character of the warfare waged by the Roan= armies in Poland is evidently no chance result, proceeding from the exasperation or ruthlessness of the Russian soldiers. What is done is universal, and so regular that it must pro used from a plan to mush and reduce Poland by famine, due armies ars unequal to the teak. The chateau and its lord, the cabin and its store of provisions, are systematically levelled and destroyed. Fortu nately the time of year does not permit the de struction of the harvest. Ent it is to be feared that the Polish peasant can neither cultivate nor sow this spring, and the result must be a most fearful famine. To aggravate sad steels rate this constitutes the aim of the Remus gourd', who might be thought to be merely wreaking vengeance on a country which they were speedily about to quit. They have, how ever, no idea of going away. The numerous and dense columns of the Russians will be nou rished from Posen, Silesia, and their own pro vinces, whilst the insurgents, unconquerable by armies in the woods, must, it is thought, succumb to starvation. The puzsuit of rush a policy se this, so directly contrary to tire promisee and profeerions of the Russian Government, gives Europe at least the opportunity and the right to interfee► For it requites time fee completion ; it is, a slow torture, and must produce an ammtni of human misery to which the Nolo it] THE, EXPRESS, MONDAY EE O, MARCIE 16,;!;. 18a Europe cannot be blind or indillsrent. can defeat it if she will. llfk notbieg but • strong cordon of troops road prevent tlij Poles of Galicia from supplying their countrymen with that food, at least, of which their cruel oppressors seek to deprive them. The English, the French, and the German populations are all alive to the sufferings and to the fate of Poland, and the symptoms are strong which show that their Governments cannot remain supine or indif ferent during the tedious perpetration of • great crime. The Poles, to be sure, have a power of endurance such as no race has ever shown, and the means of surviving measures of cruelty and extermination such as only the most refined cunning could suggest. lint the world should not allow the martyrdom of a people to be prosecuted in cold blood. It would be a blot on the century, and would turn to derision all its boasted progress in humanity. If united Europe were to say with earnestness and emphasis that it would not suffer Poland to be extinguished, the old Russian party of barbarism and extermination must recoil, and be compelled to relax the gripe in which it at present holds its victim. Were the universal word spoken, war would not be necessary. Ebt Court. WINDSOR CASTLE, MAN= 14.

POLaND treiPORTINT FRENCH DESPATCH. The following circular of M. • Dronyn de Lbuys to French diplomatic agents is the latest state paper laid upon the table of the French Senate Paris, March 1. 1863. When the present troubles broke oat in Poland they had merely the character of an act of resistance to a measure of internal administration adopted under abnormal conditions. The uneasy state in which the counky had long been no doubt augmented the gravity of the aids. It was, never tholes*, purely local before the signature of the convention between Prussia and Rook. But when it became the object of an international act, the question changed its nature, sod the cabinets wow called upon to appreciate these &reneger:omits. We were speedily made aware of the views of the British cabinet by the speeches of the Queen's ministers in parliament, and • com munication from the court of Austria, regarding her stands is Galicia, led us to think that the seatiments of that power were not widely different from car own. It appeared to us, however, that an understanding was desirable before taking any official step in regard to the Prussian govern meat. We were persuaded that observations which the three cabineta might agree in thinking it right and useful to make separately at Berlin, would be more right and more useful still if made simultaneously in similar terms ; that an opinion presented in that form woad be al ream authority, and that moreover the very mimenity cd giving a common expression to the ideas of the three Forties would be a guarantee for moderation and im partiality. The government of her Britannic Majesty has not adhered to the step which we were disposed to take. Aus tria, on her part, while adopting our view, has not thought herself justified in officially blaming • convention with which she had from the first declined solidarity. In this state of things the government of the Emperor has no further result to give to the proposition which supposes an agreement. However, we have reasons to hope that the effect pro duced by the signing of the convention of St. Petersburg will not be entirely lost, and that the two contracting courts will duly appreciate tip unanimity of the observations which these annomeneuts have 00011116:11101i. For our pert we shall continue to follow these Mild/ with the &pm of interest which they are calculated to inspire. Our duties in this respect concur with those of the other great powers placed in the name position as ourselves. The efforts which we have made to subordinate any proceedings of the cabinets to previous concert, testifies moreover to the sentiments which we feel in an affair which involves on our part neither private policy nor isolated action. (Signed) DBOU TN Di Lucre. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. OSOK 001 OWN PARIS, SUNDAT EMMIG. M. terabit's report on the Polish petitions contains a sneer at England, which countenances the attacks of Grimier de Cassagnac and Co., and is certainly not creditable in such a serious and well considered document, unless it is founded upon better evidence than I believe it to be. M. terabit, who mentions that the committee whose organ he is was attended by Mr Billault before he drew up his report, said that " England appears to wish by provocations more or lees sincere to urge us on to a war in which her government would not support us." This charge of very black treason against England was received with cheers by the Senate. When M. Billault oomes to speak next Tuesday, I do not believe that he will be able to establish this charge, Public opinion in England has been like public opinion in France, greatly excited by the wrongs of Poland, and no doubt speeches have been made and articles a ritten which, prompted too exclusively by generous senti ments, and forgetful of difficulties which statesmen must think of, pointed to war. But can the English government, or England, as a nation, be held responsible for this exuberance 'I The very same kind of thing has happened in France M. terabit enumerates in his report several petitions which the committee condemned unequivocally, because they meant war, which the Senate is not prepared to take the responsibility of recommending. It is cowardly to throw the odium of inaction upon England. AMERICA. Murrsz's QUEENECTOWN, SUNDAY.

It is as follows : Fallow-citizens 1--The most devoted children of Poland have commenced, in the name of God, the combat pro voked by the violence and oppression exercised by the Muscovite domination ; they have commenced it against the eternal enemy of liberty and spinet the Muscovite intruder, the oppreesor of our nation—they have commenced it for the liberty and independence of our country. In the unfavourable cir cumstances in the midst of which our enemy has provoked the arpheioa of the insurrection, by the exesis of opium re% the rusted began with empty bands spinet the armed onaltitaties of Bum* has contioned not only for nearly two nestle in a great portion of our country, but increases and spreads further and further, thanks to the activity and devotion of the whole people, who are resolved to become tree or to perish. Pollak blood flows in torrents upon n'any finds of battle ; it tows in the streets of our towns and sil ly= which the Misfit: enemy is utterly destroying, museere lag inoffensive inhabitants, and abanionieg to pillage the re satins of their pooseasim.. In view of this life and death struggle—in view of the murders, pillage, and dames with which our enemy marks his route, Poland sees with grief, by the aide of the grandest devotion and enthusiasm of her children, the want of • military and avowed leader- ship, capable of preventing the mattering of the forces which have been called forth, and of arousing those who still dumber. It follows, from the general situation of affairs, as well ea from the nature of the struggle which is proceeding, that outside the camp of the in. surgeeto there is not to be found throughout the whole territory of the country a spot where • central power pub licly avowed could establish itself ; and this is the reason why the secret provisional government, which emanated trom the former secret central committee, has not been able to present itself in open day before the nation and the whole world. Although there are in the country men who are far above myself in capacity and merit—although I appreciate the extent and the gravity of the duties which in a position so difficult weigh on the supreme national power—l sesame, nevertheless, with the consent of the pro visional national government the supreme dictatorship, pre pared to deposit it when we shall have shaken off the Mum coviteyoke inthehardoof the representatives of the people. I sesame it inconsideration of the urgency of the circumstances which imperatively demand a prompt remedy, in °onside ration of the necessity of increasing the forces of the natics by the concentration of the civil and military powers in one band in this murderous contest against hostile troops directed by one sole will. In reserving to myself the im mediate direction of military operations, or in claiming the power of transferring, if neoseoary, the military com mend is did to other chief. in provhiees which will be named, I deem it ennui at present to confide all the civil administration of the insurrection, as well as that of the freed territory, to a private civil government, which will act under my laceration and oon trol.

General Grant continues his operations against Vicksburg. The Confederates have captured the Federal steamer Indianola, twenty-live miles below Vicks burg. They employed the ram Queen of the West in her capture. The Federal commander, Porter, attribute, the lose of the Indianola to a non-compliance with hie instructions. Reports are still current that the Confederate general Longstreet is at Cumberland Gap with a large force, preparing to invade Kentucky. It is rumoured that a large Confederate force has appeared at Leesburg. The Confederate cavalry raid across the Rappa hannock is said to have been a failure. It is reported that the Confederates have laid a network of torpedoes across the entrance to Charles ton harbour. Two hundred Union cavalry bare been captured near Strasburg, Virginia, during a pursuit of 20 mires. The disaster occurred through disobedience to orders. President Lincoln has called an extra session of the Senate, for March 4th, to receive and act upon such communications as may be made by the executive. Senator Sumner has reported to the Senate from the committee upon foreign relations concurrent resolutions regarding mediation. After referring to the French offer of mediation, the resolutions declare that any idea of mediation or intervention is impracticable, unreasonable, and inadmissible. Also, that any offer of interference so far en courages rebellion and tends to prolong the contest, and that Congress will therefore be obliged to re gard any further attempt in the same direction as an unfriendly act The resolutions express regret that the foreign powers have not frankly informed the Southern chiefs that the work in which they are engaged is hopeless, and that a new government with slavery as its corner stone, and with no other declared object of separate existence, is so far shocking to civilisation and to the moral sense of mankind, that it must not expect welcome or recognition in the commonwealth of nations. 1 The resolutions express an unalterable purpose to prosecute the war until the rebellion is suppressed. The resolutions will be communicated to foreign governments.

OMITS ICIZTING IN Noßrom On Saturday afternoon a meeting convened by the High Sheriff of Norfolk (Mr. J. S. S. Chadd) was held at the Shire-hall, Norwich, for the purpose of oongratalatisg the Prince of Wale. oa the occasion of his marriage, n o attendance was numerous and highly influential. The Hum Smarr, in cocanassosng the proceedings, ex. T:his exthal etesearreeoe ia the objects of the amt. and read letters • for non-attendance of the 11 . of Norwich, Mr. E. Howse, M.P., end Sir T. P. Bernaluilop, Bert. - - - - - The Earl of Lanese, lad-liwateaant, moved the adop tion of • oonsplimentary addirs to her Majesty, and ob served that while at all times and seasons the inhabitento of Norfolk were reedy . r ream their devotion to the Queen, it was more especially to do so on the present occurs, and to offer suitable congratulations on the mar. rugs of the heir to the throne. When we considered how the Peacoat Wiles had been brought up, ender a mother whose virtues were so well-known, and under a father whose low WS/ so nisch lamented ; when we considered bow be had performed the duties of his station. not only in his inter. coons with the people of this country, but also with Naga nations ; and wham we witnessed, w sag Norfolk sea had witnessed, that kindness of heart sad rudely of manner which he bad inherited from his pinata, we cord not but come to the conclusion that his royal Mike= entered into life under very different auspices to those who I had hitherto base his name. The lady wham the Priam bad selected to be Ws bride came of a race more needy allied to um by renews, language, and blood, then any otter foreign ratios—that Scandinavian race, who for a keg pared of years had shows attachment to lsod, sod whoa...mat hospitality he bad himself pasocaffy experieseei He royal Wears also pampered those virgule which aloes could make her fit to be the be de of the Rag of these realms ; and • onion fanned under all these circumstances was likely to be productive of urination to ha Majesty, happineee to the royal pair, and advantage to the norm at large. The riveter rejoiciop which had takes 'plea throughout the United Kingdom did sot arise solely from a desire to congratulate their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales on their marriage, however genellying that union might be, but they also afforded the public aa opportunity of expressing their gratitude for the mast' yea r, of internal peace and prosperity which Ragland bad e njoy ed under her Majesty and the late Prince Caron. _This feeling had led to a display of loyalty to an attest never pre. vice* known is our long history u • nation, and had also evinced in the strongest manner that love and loyalty to the Queen and royal family to which they were so justly en. titled. The noble earl then read an address to her 1144 y, expressing the imeustialations of re Norfolk subjects on the late ham ever, sad moved that it be. adopted sad forwarded for presentation in thtural manner. Hoe;.I7WALPOI.II ieOollieff the motion, which was agreed to unaaimonsly. The Berl of ALsou>aLl mid that, fresh as he wag from the thrilling ceremonial of Tuesday in the Chapel Royal at W indoor, he had the greatest parable gratification in pro- posing a mooed address which bad been placed te his hands • and hewing witnessed the happy eounteeences of the t pair, beaming se they did with joy, he was eon the address would be highly appreciated by both those illus trious persons. He waa a unit of the 2,000,000 who bad seen, and who had been conquered • and thosewho had not yet been so fortunate, and who liak that prospect in store, would say that there was but one foal* and one impression which could be produced when they sew the selection which our future King had made, for the Priaixes of Wales had a aouatenance as remarkable for beauty as it wee for goodness. A few of those prase; when thialdug of the Prince of Wales, might meal the thee when his illustrious mother first honoured Norfolk with a visit. When, ma graceful girl, she appeared in Norfolk, he (the Earl of Albemarle) wee one of the guests meembled by his noble laminae the Earl of Leicester to resolve her ; and well could he remember how all were thinned by bar countenance and manner, although little could they have foretold the great dest iny which she had to perform, and that she would prove at one the most impartial and the most constitutional sovereign who ever eat upon the throne. Subsequently he became a member of the royal household, and for the first two yeah he had opportunities such as happened to few of observing the course of affair*. On the day of the cormatiou he was in attendance, and also CO the occasion of those happy nuptials which uulottunately proved of so short a dentate. He had also some knowledge of the late Prince Cowart, and he saw enough of him to understand the deep loss which the nation had sustained by his death. Remembering that the illustrious Prime whom the meriting was now about to Wrens owed both his birth and his iodize to such parents as these, he thought that the country had every jostification for believing that the recent marriage would prove an auspicious wilco. One of our poet' had said— " Homebred youths have homely wits " but might the converse prove the ease with the Prince of Wales, than whom few heirs to the throne had seen so much of foreign travel. His Royal Highness has anew times been placed is situations of much difficulty requir- Use judgment, tact, and discernment, sad he had behaved on those occasions in a manner which proved him worthy of his father, while the =kirk sod frank almoners of the Prince showed that the education of the father had not been thrown away. (Cheers.) The Prince had reosutly participated with ass in field sports, and Norfolk men would regent him with a sympathetic feeling on that account. He (the Earl of Albemarle) hoped that the Prince would derive full enjoyment from our truly national sports ; aid he trusted also (..W, in more important matters he would take his illustrious parents for the model of his life. (Cheers.) The noble earl then moved the adoption of the following address : "TO lila ROYAL HIGHNIIIS TIM MICK OF WALZB. " We, the inhabitants of the county of Natolk, in county meeting assembled, venture to approach your royal higbnem with our sincere and heartfelt congratulations cm 'oar a:lva:Soo* marriage, which has filled the length and breadth of the laud with tbankfulases and rejoicing. Ws pray that it may please Almighty God to bleu your marriage, that health and happiness may be in store for your royal bla mes, aad that from it may apriog up lame to inherit in dee time the srorld-wide, free, end happy empire of our beloved Queeo." Sir W. Jones moonded the adoption of the *dike's, which we. unanimously agreed to. The High Sheriff was re quested to sign it on behalf of the meeung, sad thanks having beer voted to the ho.. gentleman fur hie seeded in the chair, the proceedings terminated. Colonel Lake and Dr. Cleghorn have taken steps for the introduction el the eighties-yielding cinchona into the hill ranges of the Poplinsh. _ . . - The deputation of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, who were appointed to deliver an addnas of ooap►talatioo to the Viceroy of Egypt, have just returned a report of the interview, which took place at the Citadel at Cairo.
