CRACOW, Ammer 6. _ A proclamation of the National Government of the Polish nation has been republished in an in cornet form, and contrary to the programme of the 22nd January, by a despatch from Warsaw. It has also been incorrectly rendered by the papers. The correct version of the proclamation encourages the Poles to continue as hitherto in the path upon which they have embarked, promisee them a regular administration, a disciplined army, and that the government will remain true to the programme of the 22nd January.. PROPOSED RE-ORGANIZATION OF THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION. VIDiNA, Amon 6. The semi-official Abend Post of this evening, speaking of the proposals of the Emperor for a reform of the Federal constitution, says : " Austria, in her proposal for a reform in the organization of the Confederation, has less iu view a new Federal constitution than the establish ment of the means of practically and energetically removing the prineipal obstacles which at present render the adoption of efficseious resolutions by the Diet impossible." TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (nom's Isumwas.) DESPATCH OF PRINCE GORTCHAKOFF TO THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR AT PARIS. ST. PETERSBURG, ..tuouar 6. The Journal de Bt. Pegerthoterg of to-day pub lishes the despatch addressed by Prince Gortcha koff to M. de Budberg, replying to the views ex pressed by M. Dronyn de Lhuys relative to the Russian reply to the French note. Prince Hort chakoff says : "1. M. Drouyn de Lhuys seems to conclude that the Russian reply implies a refusal of the six points under the appearance of adhesion. "The Russian reply explained that the greater part of the measures indicated in the six points had been granted, but that far from pacifying the king dom they were the starting point of the insurrection. "The agitators made reforms a pretext for rais ing the country. Having conceived the hope of complete independence by the aid of foreign inter vention they could not appear satisfied with the Illieral institutions, the bases of which were being carried out by the government. " If the government did not repudiate bad faith and tortuous paths, it would perhaps have displayed some ability in categorically accepting the six points, but we desired to legally express our ideas. The six points could not receive a practical solution until after order had been re-established. "2. M. Drouyn de Lhnys sees an accusation against the French government in the assertion of the existence of a permanent conspiracy in foreign territory. finch an intention could not enter our mind. We are persuaded that the French govern ment regret' these intrigues. But it remains a fact that they exist in its despite, and from Paris one of their principal foci, they feed the moral agitation in the kingdom and furnish it with material re sources." Prince Gertobakoff then proceeds to demonstrate at length that the movement in Poland proceeds from a turbulent minority, and points out that Russia has possessed Poland for half a century. The Prince also recapitulates the measures adopted, which departed but slightly from the bases recommended by the three Powers, and mentions the existence of exterior influence. " The insurgents did not take up arms for liberal institutions, and have loudly declared that their exclusive object was the reconstitution of the limits of Poland in 1772. They have also put forth foreign intervention as the certain crowning of the enterprise. " The language of the French and English press," continues Prince Gortchakoff, " has not diminished these encouragements, and it is on this account that we stated our conviction that foreign assistance was the principal cause of the persistence of the insurrection. "3. We adhere to our observations concerning the suspension of hostilities. It is necessary that the rebels should lay down their arms or the govern ment abdicate all authority. It is impossible to otherwise understand the question of dignity and public order. " 4. The proposal of a preliminary conference of the three courts was suggested to us by the prin ciple of the treatise of 1815, which is stated as the base of the diplomatic action of the Powers. The opinion expressed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys confirms our conviction that this question has led to difficulties because it has been ill stated, and because the debates have made it a matter affecting the dignity of our cabinet. "Our proposal was inspired by the desire of con ciliation, and we regret the opinion entertained by M. Dronyn de Lhuys. We are also painfully sur prised at his impression of the general sense of our reply. Our despatch contained neither irony nor provocation; but a feeling of wounded dignity might have manifested itself in the expression of our ideas. "In presence of the insults lavished upon us, it was impossible for us to disregard the force of the energetic national sentiment. The government en deavours to calm and enlighten, and to repress the explosion of the public spirit, which has been deeply wounded. The duty of a government, and the task of diplomacy, are to separate from the conduct of affairs those passionate impulses which complicate them, and may endanger peace. We are conscious of having neglected nothing in the work of conciliation and in endeavouring to arrive at an underst►nding in conformity with the rela tions which have long united us to the government of the Emperor Napoleon. We take pleasure in counting on the same dispositions ou his partt. Our task would be difficult if France misunderstood the necessities imposed upon us by the national senti. moots which attach themselves to the traditions and vital interests of the country." THE DIPLOMATIC NEGOTIATIONS OF THE THREE POWERS. PARLS, Amour 6. The Pays of this evening says :—" The replies of the three Powers will be identical in their con clusion, and will maintain all the moral forte of an understanding between the Powers." The Council of Ministers held to-day at St. Cloud lasted two hours. The Petrie of this evening persists in maintain ing the neoeesity for an European intervention in favour of Poland, and says: "We are convinced that Austria herself, when in danger, will call for succour from France. But will it again happen that Europe shall shamefully allow a state of things to be created from which it can only escape by ter rible sacrillnes 7 La France of this evening, in an article on the "negotiations," says : " England has considered it preferable that separate notes should be des patched to Russia. The motives of this determi nation are said to be—l. An intention not to enter into common action, which would entail the neces sity of an ultimatum, with the possibility of a rup. ture of the negotiations in the event of a refusal by Russia ; 2. The repugnance of the English cabinet to any step which might lead to a war in favour of Poland. 3. The hope entertained by England of a more conciliatory disposition on the part of Russia" The same paper publishes an article headed "No Humiliating Peace," in reply to an article in the Pram, signed by M. IL de Girardin. In this article, La Francs recalls the polioy of Louis Philippe, which necessitated the wars of 1854 and 1859, and says that the only durable peace is one satisfying right, equity, and dignity. The article concludes by reminding the Pram of the words of the Emperor Napoleon, " For Europe to be Man k qua, France must be satisfied." ITALY. TURIN, AUGUST 8. The Stampa of this evening asserts that Sir James Hudson, the English minister, will be re placed at Turin by the Honourable Mr. Elliot. The treaty of commerce between England and Italy was signed to-day. THE CONFEDERATE COTTON. It appears from a letter published by Mr. M'Rae, in answer to inquiries made by a holder of the so-called Cotton Loan, that the cotton supposed to constitute the security of the subscribers lies principally in the States most exreed to the operations of the Federal army. Unless burnt, as so much has been, by the Confederate agents. the Federal government, will no doubt, rapidly bring it forward, when the holders of the loan will, of course, benefit in oommon with the public at large by the general cheapening of cotton that will ensue. Mr. leitne writes : Burlington Hotel, Corketreet, August 5. Sir,—ln reply to the inquiries contained in your note of this morning, I have to say that on the lit of March last the government of the Confederate States had purchased about 320,000 bales of cotton. The purchasing was still going on, and it is fair to presume that by this time the quantity ha been increased to at least 500,000 bales. This cotton is principally in the Stake of Georgia and Alabama, and some also in the casters part of Mississippi, North Western Louisiana, and Texas, end is stored on the plantatiooa of the planters from whom it was purchased, in sheds or warehouses 300 feet from any ether buildiogs ; and in all OMB the planters have agreed with the government to take the same oare of the cotton as if it still belonged to them, and to deliver it to the order of the government when wanted. The aipture of all our seaports would not endanger the loss of a single pound of cotton, as there are no stocks of cotton at any of them, nor are there any considerable stocks of cotton at any one place in the interior, care having been takes by the Confederate as well as the State governments that no cotton should be 'toted at any point within five miles of a rail road station or navigable stream. That portion of the crop of 1861 which bad been brought to the various interior depots ham long since been taken back to the plantations by special order of the State governments. The oottoa will be delivered to any holder of the bonds on demand, as provided for in the fourth article of the contract. In the States of Alabama and Mississippi, where I have personal knowledge of the manner in which the bad ness haa been trammeled, the cotton has been lampled, weighed, marked, and invoiced, and the sante of the bondholders can examine the maniples at the offices of the chief agents of the lean in the different States, sad teketheir orders ou the planters for the delivery of the cotton with out trouble or expense. The cotton obtained under this loan will not be subject to any tax or duty except the export duty of one-eighth of a mot per lb. existing at the date of the contract.-1 am, Ac., 0. J.

Additional.] THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES IN YORKSHIRE. (From the Lear Mercury.) • Ripon can claim the high honour of being the first place in the north which the Prince of Wales and his royal bride have honoured by a visit. The inhabitants pre pared a right royal reception, and few communities, even of mach larger dimensions, could have exhibited their loyalty with a more ardent and gratifying enthusiasm. The streets of the old city were gay with elaborate decorations, almost every house of any pretensions exhibiting its joy and its welcome to the royal party. The train conveying their royal highnesses was an object of attraction at all the stations it paved. Young and old, rich and humble, in de fiance of the miserable wet which WOMB to plume the Prince with ceaseless persistency in all his journeys, turned out to give expressing to their sentiments, if only by a cheer I as the carriages rutted by. The Prince and Princess, accompanied by General Hoollys and Major Teesdale, and a lsdy-in-waiting to her royal highness, left Wag's-cross at 9.30 yesterday morning, the train consisting of a saloon for the Prince and Princess, a saloon for the ladies of the suite, a carriage for the gentlemen of the suite, carriage for servants, two c►rriage trucks, with a break at each end. Mr. E. Desison, and others of the &makes, were in charge of the train, which arrived at Dosoarter at 1.50 p.m. At Knottingley the train was handed over to the North- Eastern Company, and Mr. Aldermen Leeman, the deputy chairman, and Mr. Alderman Situ°, of Leeda, were in attendance upon their royal highnesses. The station was elaborately decorated with evergreen, and an abundance of flags of all colours and sixes, giving to the building a gay and animated appearaime, and the inhabitants of Koottingley and Postedract ware admitted to the platform in large numbers. When, about a quarter-past 2 o'clock, the en gine of the train was seen approaching, the cheers of the people rose boisterously m the carriages drew up into the station. The eager curiosity to catch a glimpse of the royal pair was gratified, the Prince standing up near the door, whilst her royal highness took a seat near the window, where she was visible to all. She at that time looked fatigued and pale, and those who wan present when her royal highness was received in Loedon coon dared that she did not appear to be in the enjoyment of as robust health as at that ►ime. Their royal highnesses having partaken of a slight luncheon, the train at 2.20 left the station amidst loud hurrahs and other demonstrations el pleasure. Mr. Leeman and Mr. Kitson accompanied the train, as well as Captain O'Brien, general manager ; Mr. Cobry, the engineer ; and Mr. Christison, the general super intendent of the North Eastern Company ; the last-named gentleman having the charge of the company's servants, aad Mr. Fletcher, the locomotive superintendent, being in charge of the engine. The trail, which kept admirable proceeded to Ripon vii Burton Salmon. whisk it passed at 2.26, Milford Jusation 2.31, Sherburn 2.35, sod Chunk Fenton 2.43. Here, where the train had to be backed, the station was t hronged with spectators, who were warm in their expresaions of loyalty. Sutton, the next station, was pained at 2.50, and Tadouter at 2,53. Newton Kyme, Tborparch, Wethertry, and Spolforth were nom left behind, at each of these places an assembly haying congregated in the hope of seeing the royal Princess. No stoppage was made at Harrogate, but the speed was slack. and the train ponied through so slowly that Use then. mods of visitors who crowded the station had as excellent opportant'ty of earthing a glimpse of the Prince and Princess. Th e station was gaily decorated sod as the car riages moved slowly through the spectators waved their hate and handkerchiefs and cheered with • lusty vigour, which were pleasing evidences of their 'antalkaline and of their devotion to the throne. Harrogate was pared at 130, and as a quarter to four punctually, the time fixed, the royal party arrived at the end of their journey. The statics at Ripon had been elegantly decorated and renovated for the reception of the royal visitors. The pre mises had been repainted, the inn pillars supporting the roof were tastefully entwined with flowers and evergreens, bright banners of rich colours were distributed upon the roof and the entire effect was highly planing. The ladies waging nom was prepared as • retiring room for the Prisons. Over then doorway by which their royal high nesses jimmied from the station to their carriages, a minia ture triumphal arch had been merited, the scroll being sur rounded in neat letters with the word " Welcome ;" and along the platform ware disposed Tema containing blooming plant.. Within the station a gailydremed throng of ladies were admitted, and their smiles added another charm to the scene. The Earl and Countess d Ripon, whose guests their royal highnesses are, were in readiness to re ceive the royal party, and Mr. T hompson, M.P., the chair man of the North Eastern Company, Mr. Dalaworth, and Mr. Whammy., directors, and the Bishop of Ripon, the Rev. Canon Atlay, and other influential gentlemen, were present. The moment the royal train entered the station, the Yorkshire Yeomanry, under the command of the Earl of Banwood, who were drawn up in the station yard, went ordered to present anus, and the band played the National Anthem. The Prime then alighted, followed by the Prioress. The Countess of Ripon advanced to meet her, and as her royal highness affectionately embraced the mantes a blush mauffed her cheek, producing that sweet expansion which has so great • charm upon the aim teems of beauty. The Prince shook hands warmly with the countess and also with Earl de Grey ' • and the party, amidst an enthusiastic welcome, then ente red the waitiog room. Here they remained hut • moment, the Prince stand • iag at the door chatting with Earl de Grey ; and their royal highoseee were then conveyed to their carriage, in which, with Earl de Grey and the counters, they prooseded, accompanied by the boisterous plaudits of the manes who lihed the vicinity of the station, towards the city. Her royal highness wore • white basest, trimmed with green end white flowers, • light grey mantilla, and a roams silk dress, vaodyked and trimmed with white and violet ruches. The •ppanooe of the town throughout the line of route was high y pleasing, and indicated in an unmistakeable manner the unwavering loyalty and attachment of the inha bitants. Notwithstanding that the weather was threatening the streets were thronged, and the utmost enthusiasm paraded, the anxiety to see and welcome the royal pair being very great, and osanafeetiog itself in • manner which must have been highly gratifying to them. Much time and taste had been employed is decoration, the main portion of which had been carried out under the superintendence of Mr. Councillor Bur ton. From the North Bridge, which cross the river near the railway station, as far as the crescent in North-street, poke were erected at a distance of about twenty yards from each other, and being alternately painted red, white, and blue, and adorned with the royal standard, union jacks, 'trimmers, and other flags and ban ners, and gaily decorated with evergreens, they presented • Diet and attractive appearance, and being uniform were the more eatisfactory and creditable. The inhabitants of the town vied with each other in their display of loyalty by bilging out the national Bap of England and Denmark, and festoons of flowers and trophies of Bags were displayed in abundance. Near Mr. Aid. Kearsley's house a beautiful castellated sink decorated with the Prince's plume, plaster medallions of the Prime and PI loam, flags, aed otherrnitoble adornments was thrown am on the read, and beyond the arch the street presented a remarkably gay and lively appear ances. Flags and banners were displayed from the windows of the houses with the greatest profusion, and temporary balconies andetanda, erected for the purpose of affording a better view of the royal pair, were festooned and bedecked in the meet tasteful manlier. " Welcome," " God bless the Priem and Princess of Wells," and other similarly priate mottoes were diaplayed in great numbers. The Bull-square and Middle-street were decorated in a splendid man w, saves &booths extensive rod ancient Market-place. At the Indrawn to the Market-place there was an admirably executed imitation marble arch, decorated with flowers, age, he., and surmounted in the centre by the " British Lion." and on the right and left by " Bacchus " and " Flora." This arch, as well as one at the entrance from the Market-place into Westgate, were from designs by Mr. Couocillor Burton, and, the latter especially, do him infi nite credit. The such, an elaborately arranged floral one, at the Westgate entrance, was • mast Inautal sod artistic production, and was greatly and deaervcdly admired. The tradesmen occupying the premises surrounding the Market place displayed their loyalty in • profusion of coloured boot leg, wreaths of flowers. trophies of flogs, and devices of the mod ingenious and pleasing character; and Westgate, Park-street, and nearly to Btrbopton Bar flags and Moons in great abundance were hoisted. Opposite the Town-hall, which was megoi fi cestly decorated, sad which is situated in the Market-place, the corporation bad erected a large stand. This was decorated in an appropriate manner, and afforded accommodation to a large num ber of people. At half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning the royal standard was hoisted at the top of the antral tower of the cathedral. About three o'clock the Harro gate, Wetherby, Waster, and Ituareaboroogh rifle volun teers, forming the let administrative West York battalion, under the command of Mayor Harrison, were marched to the front of the Town-hall, where they were formed into lies to await the royal promedoe. The police arrangements within the eft wen meet eatiefactary. The entire force, which consisted of the load police, about fifty men from the North Radler corailbulary, wider the commsod of Captain Hill ; thirty men from Newcastle, under Mr. Superintendent Sabbap • end twenty men from York, under Mr. Superintendent Hal;ry, were under the guidance el Mr. Burnistoe, the chid of the Ripon force. Outside the city, Colonel Cobb., of the West Riding constabulary, kept the hue of route from obstruction—a duty which the good sense et the speetatore rendered am of • no very contour dia. racier. The Bipos epadroa of the Yorkshire Yeomanry [TWOPENCE Cavalry, under the command of Colonel the Esrl of Hare wood, acted as guard of honour to their royal highnesses. As the royal cortege proceeded along the streets the people cheered and waved their handkerchiefs most enthu abistioally, and the Prince and Piincees acknowledged the show of affection very graciously. The Princess appeared to be much pleased with the cordial reception and it was evident that the pe o pl e were grea tl y deligh ted with the Princess and her royal husband, whose countemmices were gowned with the utmost eagerness. When the procession reached the Market-place, the Mayor ANT. Thomas Judson, jun.), accompanied by AM. York and Horn, Cotricillors Lumley, Jaques, Wiseman, Enrico.

When the carriage containing the Prince and Princess arrived, it was brought to a st and. amidst the most determined cheering of the aasemb populace. The mayor stepped forward, and, addressing his royal highness, said be had much pleasure in primenting to him ao address expressive of the sentiment. of the people of Ripon towards himself and the Princes'. He then placed in his royal highness's heads as address, which was beautifully engrossed and illuminated on vellum by Mr. Peters, o f ork. - The Prince and Prisms will leave Ripon this aftentoon, and proceed by the North Eastern Railway to the north. The royal train will leave the Ripon station at half-past two o'clock, arriving at Darßerton, where there will be • stoppage of five minute,, at • quarter past three.

The entire journey of 195 miles will be accomplished in five hours and twenty minutes. Their royal hirbnesees reached Donmater at 1.50 p.m., and the mowd of spectators upon the platforms of the station was as large sad as gay re no Monday. The mayor and oar poratioa were not officially present upon this cosesion, and there was no decoration of the station. The fine bead of the Domester Ride Volunteers was, however, in sod as the royal train entered the station, it plal t i7Z l OM blew the Prince of Wales." The populace cheered heartil , but this expression of their loyalty was wholly um the Princess remaining seated, and the Prince just main to the window to call one of his attendants, who was busy setting luncheon, when the train started with him in the royal salooa. The servant immediately called out lustily from the window, and the train was again stopped, when he removed to his own compartment. Finally the royal train departed, amidst the renewed cheers of the crowds 11•0111 - bled ia end about the station. The milting arrangements, under Mr. Wood, the clerk in charge, and other offisials, wen again admirable. THEATIMS IN HOLY WEEK. Yesterday afternoon a deputation from the " English Church Union" waited epee his Grace the Arch bishop of Canterbury, on the subject of the opening of ber Majesty's theatres—that is, theatres to which licanees are granted by the Lord Chamberlain—in the Holy Week. The archbishop was to have received the deputation at Addington Palace, but being obliged to proceed to town on urgent business his grace met them at the office of his legal secretaries (Mews. Border and Dunning), in Parliament street There were present, amongst other gentlemen, the Hon. Colin Lindsay and the Hon. Henry Walpole. The Hon. Coax LINDBAT, president of the English Church Union, said that be sod the members of the depute ties bad waited upon his grace to present a memorial which bore 1,600 signatures, including those of 15 bishops, 8 deans, 15 archdeacons, a great number of beneficed clergy, peers, and members of the Home of Commies, entreating his grace to use all his influence with the Lord Chamberlain, and if that be ineffectual with her Majesty the Queen hermit, to have re-inserted (is the licenses about to be issued in the course of the autumn to the managers of the metro politan theatres) the ancient clause prohibiting them from opening those theatres under the Lord Chamberlain's jurisdiction during the last week of the next Lent. Mr. Ltsnass said the Archbishop of York would have aimed the memorial, but his grace thought it did not go far esoegit Tie A 11010161101 . 740 what..nee Mr. LINDSAY said the Archbishop of York thought that theatres ought to be closed on other days than thew con templated by the memorialists. The Biehop of Leedom would Wee hare signed it, had it not been that his lordship thought he could act in the matter more efficieetly on his own behalf as bishop of the diocese in which the theatres alluded to were situated. The Archbishop of Cairn:mum having received the me morial. end run his eye over the numerous signatures ap pended to it, said—l need sot say, gentlemen, how entirely I deprecate the opening of her lthjesity'm theatres during the Holy Week have already twilled my earnest desire that they should not be opened, by having signed a similar memo rial. Cartethly any induence 1 possess I shall be glad to one in the same direction. I will not pledge myself to the precise mode, bat I will pay the most respectful attention to the memorial, and will communicate with the Lord Chamberlain on the subject. Beyond that I will Dot say anything, but I have the matter very much hart, and I will do all lan to prevent the recurrence oTThat of which you complain. I will give my beet attention to the matter during the year. The Hoe. C. Larne ar thanked the archbishop for the courtesy of his reception, and the deputation withdrew. A NOVA. SCHIMZ of BRNIVOLIMICIL—The Rev. Thomas Jackeeo ' M.A., Prebendary of St. Peers, &arm-tor of Stoke Nervingtoe, is the promoter of an addition to the many benevolent *themes with which the metropolis abounds. It is announced that at an early date a prim show of ccetermougera• donkeys will he held, with a view to the encouragement of humane owners among the poor and the well-being of that awful and too of ten misused animal. WIRY/YAM ARMY CHAPLAINA—At • sitting of one of the committees of the Wesleyan Conference a report was which contained the following obeervatioes on this subject:—Grievances bad been ,edressed and obstructions had been removed by the War-office, which gave freedom to the labours of the Wesleyan methodist ministers at work for the army at Aldersbott, Portsmouth, Shorecliffe, and Chatham. The President of the Conference respectfully se knowledged the courtesy and attention accorded to him on all occasions by the chief military authorities. The Duke of Cambridge had asked him whether they wished them to be regularly appointed as army chaplains ; but be answered emphatically no. The reason, which Mr. Prest assigned to his royal highness the commander of the forces are worthy of note 'lie felt that Wesleyan minister' who were ap pointed chaplains, and held the Queen's commiesioo, woul d pass from their jurisdiction to that of the Chaplain-General of the Army, and that was what the connexion never would submit to. He told his royal higheess that the conference could give all reasonable guarantees for the good behaviour of it. ministers in the army, and that, if any of them behaved 111, the °omission hod • system of discipline as prompt and stringent as the military code, and that they would not be slow to exercise it." - - ORTHODOX FARMING.—The Norfolk NEWS gives us the following story, sod intimater that it is by no means a singular ease :—•• Not long ago one of our Norfolk land owners had • farm to let, and at the sera* time it happened that an intelligent farmer, who was about to leave his occu pation • few miles off, wanted to him the meant farm. The landlord and the farmer met, discussed the terms of • lease, and agreed perfectly on every point. Au agreement was prepared, and the signature of the great man was about to he affixed—the pen, we are told, was actually in his band for the purpose—when, turning to the intended tenant, be exclaimed int errogatively, 'Of Doane you are not • dissenter Yes I am,' replied the farmer. Then,' quickly rejoined the Noire, pushing away the document, ' von cannot have the farm ; I will not haven dissenter on any considenitioa.' So they sepa rated—the landlord to look for a tenant who would not go to ' meeting,' the farmer to look for • lairtlord who would let his land without any inquisition on religions opinions." Ourcontemposury very mildly remonstrates with these in. credibly bigoted landlords for "the very bad habit" of " refusing to let farms to men otherwise unexeeptiouable merely because they are not of the came religions anti. meota with themselves." We hope some of them may have sense enough to listen to the excellent reasons which oar cootemporary gives them for being ••content with having honest, imhastrious, thrifty men for their tenants, and stimuli:Hag the delusion that a farmer will do the better by his farm for having included his conscience in his cove nanta."—Patria.
