Arran the sarcastic ejaculations and epigram matic taunts which greeted every mention in the French Senate of English sympathy for Poland ; after the sneering allusion in M. Liz's report to " a neighbouring country ;" it is somewhat dis appointing to the friends of Poland on either side of the Channel to record the conclusion of a debate which should have vindicated the disinterested policy of France, and covered with contempt -the in- ' effectual protests of the British Parliament. No thing is more amusing than the pretension of French criticism to decide without appeal the reputation of an opera-singer whom every other public in Europe has applauded. The favourable verdict of a Parisian audience (to whom HANDEL and Murnitssous are probably unknown)* in the vocabulary of our lively neighbours, the "censure " tion "of an artist's fame. So, according to the semi-official journals of the Empire, the expression of sympathy for Poland in the Senate wu to be regarded by liberal Europe as the " consecration" of the Polish camas. Well, the English public has no sort of objection to this harmless vanity. It an bear being " called names" by Imperial Sena• tors, and is rather glad than otherwise to give a body of gentlemen so devoted an opportunity of displaying some sort of independence. All the English public expects in return is that the Senators shall by an imposing manifestation _ _ " consecrate" the Claims of France to the confi dence of suffering nations, not emulate the "barren "selfishness" of England. When the English Houses of Parliament passed to the order of the day after an unanimous expression of sympathy for Poland, they committed the catuieto the care of &government oonstitutionally responsible for its acts, and owning a parliamentary jurisdiction. When the French Senate pares to the Order of the Day from a debate an Poland, it commits the cause of the 'petitioners to the fluctuating will of one irrespeu sable man, represented, it is true, by a hired advocate of that one man's latest impressions or caprices. There is an appreciable d;fference in the result of the debates on Poland in the British Parliament and in the French Senate, and we are not at all per suaded that the difference is to the advantage of the charmed hearers of M. BILLAIMT. The net result of an the rhetorical sympathy of the French Senate for Poland is the performance of one more act of homage and devotion to their maker —the EllPlllolt, and an unconditional 'surrender, by a majority of 109 votes to 17, of the honour of France to his keeping. Whether Poland will be satisfied with this singular exhibition of moral force we cannot affirm; at all events, the Mamas was not in need of it, nor will it add one jot of firmness or dignity to his counsels. M. BELLMILT, in replying to M. Jutes FAVILI in the Corp: Lilgialatif the other day, was as severe upon the " sterile protests "of the Chambers in LOMB PILILLPPZ'S time as when he sat himself on the benches of the Ex treme Left, and denounced with fervid elo quence the pusillanimity of a government that would not fight for Poland. Time's revenges have made this same M. Bzurvir a brilliant apologist of the Russian Farrasoa's unrequited benevolence towards his Polish subjects, and of the providential " solidarity " of two enlight ened despotisms. The friends of Poland will find in M. Bittantr's sounding periods some com pliments to Polish bravery, and some regrets for Polish sufferings ; but for one sentimental word for Poland, thrown like a flower upon an open grave, they will find pentanes after sentence of fulsome panegyric addressed to that well-meaning and congenial oppressor whose friendship is so precious to the Second Empire. All the sonority of this brazen mouthpiece of the private Cabinet of NAPO- LaDNIII. is employed in celebrating the clemency and goodness of ALL:Anna IL, and proclaiming the advantage to Imperial France of his chosen and peculiar. regard. And this when the nation that spent its best blood in the service of France is perishing in torments before the eyes of • NAPOLZON ! M. Bru.surs of comae speaks to his brief ; and while that martyred nation is fighting the last battles of despair, his instructions are to recom mend the Poles to trust to the good intentions of the Cz&u, and to remind Frenchmen that the mutual interests of Fran** and R 411166 forbid the indulgence of "popular impulses." After this in structive demonstration, let French Senators and official journalists yelp at the selfishness. i i Eng-i land. At any rate poor Louis Pititirra IL avenged. No minister of ther.esestiltutioseg monarchy ever sounded the depths of humiliation i into which a BILLAULT plunges with enthusiasm. We know not if the honour of France is consoled by the eloquence of • Prince of the Blood whose lot it is to act the part of an independent op position, and to personify on the steps of the Thronethese "popular impulses," which the Talking Minister is instructed to restrain and rebuke. Prince NAPOLEON, we are persuaded, speaks as he thinks and as he feels ; and it is a startling fact, worthy of all acknowledgment, that as Prince of the Blood he has not foreeworn the revolutionary faith of the Republican representative of the people. Still, with profound respect for his sincerity, we cannot help regarding his position in the Senate as • false one. To the world in general, this distribution of parts between the PRINCE and the Talking Minister looks a little thea trical. JAzrus, it is true, had two faces, but only one temple ; and there is a French proverb which tells us that " a door must be either open "or shut." Between Prince NAPOLEON and M. BILLAUL; the doors of the temple of the modern JANus are always ajar. This is a state of things which creates uneasiness and perpetuates mistrust. And though M. Bax.Aume assures the Senate that Europe has unbounded confidence in the policy of his master, and that NAPOLEON and ALEXANDER IL are united in heart by the mutual love of liberty, it is impossible to forget that the vindication of the Treaty rights of 1815, in concert with Austria, was not always the " mission " of the Prince whose utmost aspiration at the present time is that Poland should be not "independent," but "free" under Russian domination, even as at Villafranca he desired that Italy should be not " independent," but " free," under the protection of France, Austria, and the Pori:. tic Court.

THE BRIDAL YREBINTS OF THE PRENORES OF WALES—We are authorised to announce that hie Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has given per mission for the exhibition of the bridal presents of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, at the South Kensington Museum. This exhibition will take place as soon as the necessary arrangements can be made for the purpose. Teas PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES—Their Royal Meurer, the Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to arrive at Sandringham-hall, near Lynn, to-day or on Monday. Great preparations are being made at the hall, and • large number of workmen have been smangiug and adorning the rooms. The Great Eastern Railway Company have been making active preparations at the Wolverton and Lyon stations, which have been decorated for the occasion. The engine which will draw the royal train has also been specially paintod and ornamented, and some of the superior officials of the company will go down with it. The sub scription for the purpose of presenting the " Norwich gates" to the Prince makes fair progress. Among the ooatributors ere the Duke of Norfolk, the Fed and Countess of Leices ter, Lord and Lady Walainghtm, Lord and Lady Sondes, the High Sheriff and Mrs. Scott amid, Mr. E. Warner, ?LP., War W. Russell, M.P., Lieut.-Colonel Coke, M.P., Sir H. J. /Riser, M.P., and other members of the county aris tocracy. It is doubtful, however, whether the presentation will take place during the present visit of the Prince to Nor folk, as his royal highness is not expected to remain at Sandringham more than s week. The beautiful shawls, dreier ho., the gifts of Mears. Clabburn, Sours, and Crisp, Willett, son, and nephew; Marra Bolingbroke and Co., Messrs. Middleton and Ainsworth, Messrs. Fowler, Rowing, and Allen, and other Norwich manufacturing firms, to the Primer of Wales, are completed, and it is expected that the Mayor and Sheriff of Norwich will attend at Sandringham for the purpose of presenting them. We read in the London Review:—" There has been differed through all classes a deep and genuine feeling of joy at the happy marriage of the Prince of Wales, and consequently • great number of congratulatory addresses presented to him. The University of Oxford has deter mined to follow this example, and, in • meeting of the council, composed of heads of houses, professors, and mem bers of convocation, with whom rests the initiative of all university legislation, proposed to congratulate the Prince on having found • protestant princess, whom the Act of Settlement permits him to many. One would think that this form, long sanctioned by usage, hadlnothing in it objec tionable ; yet a well-known (if not quite • favourite) doctor (Dr. Pussy) opposed it and carried an amendment. Our readers will be surprised to hear that his objection was that the Princess Alexandra, being • Dane, could not pro perly be called a protestant I He argued that Denmark was given up to rationalism, and on that ground the ob i:cairn word was left out by • majority."

The will bears his signature, "Gifford," and was attested by Charles Hathwick, K.D., and James Todd, valet. In the attesting clause are these words—" The marriage between himself and the Counts. of Gifford having been previously solemn kei."

LLTO3T INTELLIGENOL (1111~11 TILBORAML ) THE POLISH INSURRECTION. BATTLE IN POLAND. THE POLISH DICTATOR IN THE HANDS OF THE AUSTRIANS. PARIS, SATURDAY. • Despatches received at the Busman embassy here confirm the news of the defeat of Langiewics, who has been conveyed to Tarnow. . . The insurgents lost 400 killed, and 54 taken prisoners. CRACOW, lIARea 20, Evistem, The following are the details of the battle fought between the Russians and the insurgents, com manded by General Langiewicz. The battle com menced on the 18th inst., near Zagoecie. The cavalry and waggons of the insurgents were dis persed after a desperate fight. Langiewicz and his staff disappeared from the field during the engage ment, which continued till dark. The scythemen and chasseura, after holding their ground to the lest moment under a heavy fire, withdrew on the 19th inst. to Vislitsa. Langiewicz and his friends crossed the Vistula in a small vessel, and gave themselves up to the Austrian hussars, who conducted them to Tarnow. The insurgents are rallying at Vielitsa, and are provisionally under the command of Colonel Sm.- chowski LEMBERG, Masai 21. Langiewicz, with several officers of his staff, arrived yesterday in Galicia, and presented to the authorities a French passport bearing a strange name. After having replied to the questions which were put to him, he left without his identity being discovered, but was afterwards brought by the Austrian hussars to Tarnow. PABIS, IlAscu 21. The Constitutionnel of this morning contains an article on the Polish insurrection, signed by ita chief editor, M. Limayrac, who says therein : _ . "If the defeat of the insurrection be confirmed fortune will offer a noble part to the Emperor of Russia. It is amnesty which completes such victories, and the world would applaud the Czar, if, after having subdued the insurrection by force, he disarmed it by magnanimity." TURKEY. The Levant Herald of the 11th says :—" The Sultan has notified his intention of making a voyage to Egypt immediately after the Bairam. His Majesty will at the same time visit Rhodes, the coast of Syria, Cyprus, Candia, and some others of the chief islands of the Ottoman Archipelago. He will take passage in his new paddle yacht, the Feizi-gehad, which will be escorted by a squadron of two screw line-of-battle ships and a couple of screw corvettes. The Grand Vizier and the Capitan Pasha will, it is expected, accompany his Majesty, whose absence from the capital will extend over a month." The Montenegrin " question " has received yet another solution. " Urged by the legations friendly to Prince Nicholas, the Porte has finally consented to forego altogether forts and blockhouses of every kind in the mountain territory, the Vladika, on his aide, binding himself—and his diplomatic protectors further endorsing the pro mise on his behalf—to be of permanent good behaviour towards the Porte and its subjects, and otherwise to observe faithfully the provisions of his treaty of peace with Omer Path► His and his people's practical experience of the Porte's ability to punish a breach of these engagements will probably prove the best guarantee of their faithful execution. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Pre ma owl 001 PARIS, Fa ,AY ETIPING. My conjecture that M. Billault would not re ceive orders to adopt the insult to England con tained in M. Larabit's report is most completely justified by the event. The minister without port folio expressly repudiated as unwarrantable that passage of the report which accused " England of wishing to plunge us into a war in which its govern ment would not follow us." He declares that neither the English government nor the English people are open to the accusation. The wretched calumnies of certain officious government writers, who often pretend to be " inspired " when they are not, may, therefore, be finally dismissed as being literally below contempt. All far as regards any practical light upon the course which France is likely to take on the Polish question, M. Billault's speech contains absolutely nothing. No explanations were given of the state of the negotiations with Austria, and I am at a loss to find a single indication of probability that mere friendly representations to the Emperor Alexander (of whom M. Billault spoke with extraordinary ten dernees, not even reproaching him for the proscrip tions which caused the present insurrection) will be more "efficacious" now than similar diplomatic efforts under former governments, the uniform failure of which M. Billault records and laments. It is a curious fact that in the minority of 17 who voted with Prince Napoleon we find the names of the intimate camarilla of the Tuileries, General HllB9OO, K Laity, M. de Lessees, the Duke of Padua, etc. More curious is it still that Count Walewski, one of the ministers, abstained from voting, and his name is not accounted for in the minute list of absent senators, with the cause of their absence, given in the Mossiteur. . _ The Bourse has beau firm. Rages dosed at 69.15, or 200. higher than yesterday. Letters from Brussels state that Dr. Lanbenbeck, of Berlin, who had been again sent for to attend King Leopold, has found his Majesty in a more unfavourable state than during his previous visits. The King suffers particularly from fever sad want of sleep. In the debate in the Senate on the Polish ques tion (writes the Paris corraspondast of the Tines) Prism Napoleon well sustained his reputation es the most effec tive speaker In the Assembly of which be is a member. Power of language, skill in reasoning, knowledge of his subject, are all at his command, sad are marked by a spirit said fire which arrest the attention sad extort the praise even of those who most dissent from him. The way is which he demolished the elaborate apology set up for Russia by the Marquis de la Rochejaquelin, shows the accomplished de bater, never at a loss to meet successfully the arguments of his adversary. Ile may not have inherited the military genius of his uncle, but in reading his speeches we must admit that he would have taken a distinguished place by the side of the great orators of the first French revolution. " I have the honour to inform you that application hi - s been renewed to the French go►enment to oonsider of granting to mewls built in her Majesty's North American provinces generally the same privileges which have recently ham accorded in French porte to Canadian-built vessel". The Meister for Foreign Affairs of his Imperial Majesty has answered that this question cannot be decided until after the result of a pending inquiry into the French nor chant navy, which Inquiry was interrupted by some of the arrangement' connected with the International Exhibition in London, and has not yet been encephited.*—(Extract from a despatch from the Duke of Newcastle to the Lieut.. Governor of Nova Scotia.) CHEATING AT CARDS. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL AT PARIS. Oar Paris oorrwipowient, writing yesterday even- ing, says : The Correctional Police Court (6th chamber) was crowded today by a faahioeshie sodium to hear the trial of MM. Oaludo sod Garcia for cheating at cards. The best seats in the limited arum of this court were eagerly sought for by elegant ladies and members of the Jockey Club and Circle Imphial. The witness,. alone were numerous enough to constitute a good rem sentation of the public. Among them were Madame Harmed, alias Julia Benini, alias Judi, the lady at whose house the modal occurred ; K. Miranda, Gentleman of the Queen of Spain's Household; Duke de Gramout Cede r rouse, Viscount de Pole, Paul Demidoff, Marquis de Vireos, Count de Fastette, Edmond de Broadly, Count Plmauville, Viscount de Noblet, Robert end Glisten de Bri.. moot. Van Hybeck, secretary of the Circle Imperial; Baron Albert de Shame, Feuilbade Chauvin, &c. The reusing papers my that the reporters were 'towed away in a black bole u bad as the hold of a slave ship. At the moment when the judges took their seats load cries were heard from the crowd who besieged the doors and who were enraged at finding that nobody whatever without a ticket could get into that little slip at the bottom of the court, which for the sake of appearanom is reserved to the " public." A reinforoensent of same, de ride war sent for to restore order. The presiding judge, M. itobault de Fleury, ordered that the doors should be opened, and ten people let in. and then he warned the audience that they must be perfectly quiet—particularly as in a cue of this importance it was essential that his attention should not be distracted. On the names of CaLtado and Garcia being called X Caludo presented himself, accompanied by his advocate X. Is chaud. IN. Philis, a barrister, asked the court, on the part of Garcia, that the case might be put off for • week. IC Garcia bad sent • telegram to say that the counsel whom be bad at first retained was prevented by a domestic calamity from appearing, and that • substitute whose services he desired to have had not yet had time to make himself router of the ease. X Anbepin, the Imperial Advocate, opposed the application, saying that the first duty of the accused was to attend the court ; had he done so, his appli cation for • postponement would have been listened to. The court ruled that Garcia was in contempt and that the trial must go in his absence. The following is the indict ment : "On February 4, 1863, a party of about 40 persons met at the house of Madame Berucci, Avenue dee Champs Elysies, No. 120. IL Garcia, who had got himself invited some days before, and had also obtained invitations for M. Odra& and IL de Miranda as his friends, proposed a game of tmite et quarante, at which scarcely anybody played but himself and MM. Calzado and de Miranda. M. de Miranda won several ' banks,' and Garcia lost about 30,000 fr. Odzado, although be was in reality a partner in Ganda's bank, appeared to have nothing to do with it, and repeatedly ' pouted' in X. de Miranda's game. After a tirue, Garcia and Calzado proposed ecarte, but nobody desiring that game, they sat down toplayatit by themselves. It is the opinia.. of the company that this game was a sham. It was interrupted by the announcetnentof suppler. After supper the party began to play at baccarat gourmet. Garcia disappeared for half an hour, but ultimately took his place at the table. As soon as he began to deal the play ran very high. At length M. de Miranda alone played against him, and Garcia won as much as 150,000 fr. During all this time Calzado con stantly stood in with Garcia's hand, and must have won 20,030 fr. The continued MOONS of Garcia for such large amounts caused a sensation in the company, and suspicions were loudly expressed. The play was interrupted. It was at once found that cards had been used which were not among the packs put on the table by the mistral, of the house ; other cards were found about Garcia's per son, and he mimed that he had brought them from the Carole Imperial. The envelopes of some of these cards ware found in the watercloset. Garcia during his absenoe after supper west into the watew-cloast to arrange his cards. He was forced to refund the money which he had fraudulently pined, and this he cemented to do with great difficulty. At find he produced 60,000 fr., saying that was all he bad won : but ultimately he Ist fall rolls of bank notes from his clothed as the company hustled him in the apartment. The guilt of Garcia is evident ; the co-operation of Calzado also results from the evidence collected by the prosecution. His anterior relations with Garcia, his manoeuvres comSined in a common interest during the evening, his share of the plunder in the fraudulent game with M. de Miranda, all accuse him. Moreover, his embarassed attitude during the scene in which Garcia confessed his infamy, his obstinate refusal to allow himself to be searched, and a roll of bank notes which fall from his pantaloons, and which were picked up at his feet, and the property in which he vainly tries to repudiate, add to the evidence against him." Calzado. in answer to the usual preliminary questions. from the president, said that he was fifty-eight years old, and that he was lately manager of the Italian Theatre. M. Deems (an &roue) applied that M. de Miranda might be admitted to plead u meek citile, claiming 45,000 franca damages. _ _ . M. Leland opposed the application on the ground that IL de Miranda had been already paid back all the money he lost, and perhaps more. The court, however, granted the application. The President then said—M. de Miranda, you are now civilly interested in this caw, sad consequently cannot be examined upon oath, nevertheless it is your duty to state to the court the truth, the whole truth, and nothing bat the truth. K. de Miranda was then exammed, and corroborated the facts a►legd in the indictment. He said that he lost to Garcia 64,000 fr. at one coup. He particularly deposed to Oabodo having refused to be searched, sod to the roll of bank note being afterwards (mod at his feet. He (de Miranda) was at first unwilling to move in the affair, sod would rather have lost his money than promote scandal ; but the Doke de Gramont Caderousse and others bad told him that in principle the thing could not be passed ova. [The trial was proceadiog at a late hoar.) (et asuria's Turaiwg.) Calrado was sentenced to thirteen months', and Garcia to five years' imprisonment.

Or • CATHOLIC PRIM BY A SIMITTII OFFICLE. —The usually quiet neighbourhood of Treforest, near Cardiff, was thrown into • state of conaidereble ex isitement on Saturday last, in consequence of the appointer* of two sheriff's officen is search of the catholic priest resid ing at that plan. It appeared that the two officers were scut by Mr. Gown, of (ff, who held • warrant for the apprebensioe of the priest. On their presenting themselves before the reverend gentleman, he became very abusive and offered great resistance ; indeed, so much so, that ultimately the aid of several Irishmen was called in to amain him. A scuffle mined, during which the priest actually wounded one of the officers with • stick, contaiong • spring dirk ; the weapon entered the mouth of the unfortu nate officer, which, for the moment caused hint much pain, and the priest being • strong, powerful man, be, with the Irsbmen in questioa, made his escape. On the following Smithy morning, Mr. Gaya, determined not to he baffled, sent further aniataooe to 'Preform', sod, by a little strategy, came in contact with the priest alluded to, who had just entered the railway carriage to perform his religious calling at Mountain Ash. The officers had just arrived at the rail way station when the priest had taken his seat in the car riage for Mountain Ash, with the impression that the few affairs could not take him on the Sebbath.day; but being arrested the day before, they, of course, paid no attention to the threats of • number of Irishmen who bad crowded around the priest's carriage. The officers made their way through the crowd, dashed into the carriage, and pulled out their nun on to the platform just as the train was about to leave. A scene ensued which baffles description. The howls sad cries of the Irish people assembled were tre mendous, but the officers retained fest hold of the priest, and the down train for Cardiff arriving, they pieced the priest io it, who in leas than an hour afterwards was safely lodged is Cardiff gaol. It Is • certain fact that had sot the down train for Cardiff arrived in time a serious riot wergild have been the result.—Bristolifercirry.
