A fresh body of insurgents, under the command of Major Lopaoki, has occupied Polaniac on the Vistula, in the district of Sandomir. Engagements have taken place near Mingee, is Podlachia ; Holwarga, in Angustowo ; and Lodz, in Masovia. CRACOW, Aram 11.

The Cuts publishes a proclamation of a very in oendiary and sanguinary character, asserted to have been issued by the Ruaaians, and to be in course of distribution by them among the peasants, in order to incite the latter against the insurgent& The same paper announces that M. Swiderski, a landed proprietor, and his wife and daughters, have been murdered by the Ru■•ian■ WARSAW, Arius. 11. Upon the representation of the Grand Duke Con stantine, the Czar has accepted the resignation tendered by Archbishop Pelinski, as a member of the State in the kingdom of Poland. THORN, Ana, It The committee of the revolutionary government in Wilna has issued a manifesto stating the abuses of the Russian government, calling upon the inha bitants to rise in insurrection, and declaring that Lithuania and Little Russia are inseparable por tions of Poland. In consequence of this manifesto the peasantry and the younger portions of the nobility have taken up arms against the government. CRACOW, Aran. 12. The government of St. Petersburg has addressed an inquiry to the Grand Duke Constantine upon the possibility of extending to the kingdom proper of Poland the ukase of sequestration pronounced in Podolia, Lithuania, and the Ukraine. The Czaa announces the arrest in this city of . Ohratnowski, the editor of that newspaper. Intelligence from the theatre of war states that numerous detachments of insurgents under un known leaders were in all parts of the kingdom and of Lithuania. Engagements in which the Poles were victorious have taken place at Ciechocineo and Plockie. The result of other combats which have occurred at Garwolm, Lubelaki, and Killen in Preihnins, had not as yet transpired. CRACOW, Aria 12, Vilma. The CZOJ of to-day announces that Ozaeoveld, by clever manceuvree, has maintained with 1,500 men, the poeition formerly occupied by Langley - ice. Another body of 1,000 insurgents is reported to be stationed, under the command of Geringer, at a abort distance from the former corps. The insurrection in Podlachia is gaining ground. The Marquis Wielopolski ha' been challenged by Counts Branicki and Chojicki. LEMBERG, Ann 12. Travellers who have arrived here report that numerous bands of iustugenta are extended throughout the country, and that the insurrection constantly assumes more of the character of par tisan warfare. THE AMIfESTY FOR POLAND. ST. PETHIU3BURG, An= 12. To-day (being the Buss= Easter Sunday) an Imperial manifesto has been published, granting • fall and alines amnesty to all Poles in the kingdom who shall lay down their arms and return to their allegiance by the 13th May. The same term • for laying down their arms and giving in their submission is also fixed for the insurgents in the Western Polish provinces. The only exceptions are with regard to ordinary mimes, and to such offences as have been committed by the army. The manifesto further announces that the insti tutions granted to the Polish people shell be maintained, and after practical experience shall be developed according to the necessities of the age and the country. The following is a summary of the text of the manifesto granting an amnesty to the insurgent Poles : " The obligation rests with us to preserve the country from the return of disorders, and to open a new epoch of political life based upon the rational organisation of administrative keel autonomy. " We have already laid the foundations of this autonomy in the institutions which have been granted, but whose efficacy has not yet been put to the test. It is our desire to maintain these insti tutions, while reserving to ourselves the right of proceeding with their future development accord ing to the requirements of the age and of the country."

Federal &mounts from New Orleans state that the movement by General Banks upon Port Nucl eon was not intended as the prelude to a direct assault on thst stronghold, bat was merely meant to divert the attention of the Confederates whilst Commodore Farragut's fleet attempted to pas the batteries and gain the control of the Mississippi between Port Hudson and Vicksburg, as well as of the Red Mar and the region from which the Con federates in the Mississippi Valley obtained their supplies. General Baaks's movement, however, failed ma terially to divert the attention of the Confederates, u Commodore Farragut's fleet attempted to pass the batteries just before dark on the evening of the 14th, but only two of his vessels succeeded in safely effecting the passage. The Hartford, with Commodore Farragut on board, accompanied by the Albatross, advanced to the attack, followed by five other steamers, and attempted the passage. The Port Hudson batteries then opened upon them, and a terrific engagement ensued, lasting from 10 o'clock on Saturday night l until daybreak on Sunday. The flagship Hartford and the Albatross passed safely ; all the other ves sels were driven back, except the steamer Missis sippi, which grounded immediately opposite Port Hudson, and was blown up by order of her 0001- ' mender. Sixty of her crew were killed or missing. Upon the other vessels 10 men, including Com mander Cumming, were killed, and 30 wounded. General Banks' movsments consisted of advancing with his army to Springfield within 7 miles of Port Hudson, whence he sent out reconnoitring parties, who returned after slight skirmishing. After re maining one night at Springfield, the army returned to Baton Rouge. There was no general engagement, and only one or two casualties. After his return to Baton Rouge, General Banks binned an order stating that the object of the ad vance was accomplished, and that the expedition was an entire success. The expedition from New Orleans up the Teche was abandoned, as all the troops were required to 00-operate with Banks. Negro troops bad arrived at Baton Rouge, caus ing some excitement, but they were sent to throw up entrenchments outside the city. The Southern sympathisers in New Orleans ex. pent an early Confederate attack upon Baton Rou ge' . . The Hartford and the Albatross are cruising at the mouth of the Red River to cut off the Confide. rate supplies. The Navy Department has received a report from Commodore Farragut that he saw the wreck of the steamer Indianola ten miles above Grand Gulf. She was much shattered by the explosion. Federal amounts from Memphis assert that a large force under General Sherman has reached Yazoo River safely through the Sunflower River, and landed above Haines Bluff, a mile and a quar ter from the Confederate fortifications. Southern reports state, however, that the Faders's, whilst attempting to flank Haines Bluff, were repulsed at the junction of Deep Creek and the Sunflower River, three of their gunboats were destroyed, and the remainder driven back. Attempts were making to cut off their retreat. It is imposseible to say which account is true. Southern reports state that the r edentlx, with reinforcements have again advanced upon the Yazoo River, and that the Confederates are making every effort to repulse them. . _ . . The Cordedenite thlucard6l reu&bertuu officially reports that two Federal gunboats attempted to run down the Mississippi past the Vicksburg bat teries, and that one was sunk with all on board, and the other disabled. Mobile despatches assert that the Federal. have evacuated Pensacola, and now occupy only the Navy Yard and the forts of Barriancas and Hyacinths. The garrison of the town wu sent to reinforce General Banks. All the Federal Monitors, with several gunboats, left Hilton Head on the 25th. Troops are also reported to have embarked upon the transports. The steamer Ericsson has arrived with a machine to clear the channels of torpedoes. The Confederates at Charleston have refitted the steamer Isaac Smith, lately captured, and it was reported that General Beauregard bad made a de mend for the delivery of the steamers Mercedita I and Keystone State, which he alleges surrendered during the late raid of the Confederates against the blockading squadron. The steamer Antonin& entered Charleston on the 17th inst. Cincinnati despatches wart that the Confederate invasion of Kentucky was a failure. Fiftoeen thousand Federate were at Savannah, Tennessee, and the Federate also occupied Granada. General Grant's. army was surrounding Vicks burg.

The Confederates have roadea cavalry raid, and have captured eight F ederala on the roads between Dumfries and Ooooquan.

NEW YORK, Aram 2, Evratnio. The Confederated have advanced within 19 miles of Murfreesboro', Tonnages& The news from the Migaiesippi is generally un favourable to the Yederah. The PMladeiphia Enquirer were that General Hanka has made another movement against Port Hudson, the object of which was to send the land force past Port Hudson to assist Commodore Par - _ _ One Federal brigade started on four transports, but the Confederates had cut the levee at the bend of the river, and the transports grounded, and were with difficulty got off. Some troops landed seven miles below Port Hudson, but the Confederates spin cut the levee, compelling the troops to re-embark, and the attempt was then abandoned. General Sherman's expedition to the rear of Haines' Bluffiby way of Sunflower river is reported to have proved a failure, and the expedition has returned to Young's Point. Obstructions hi the river, and sharpshooters along the shores, rendered an advance impracticable. A eonflicting report, *Wm General Sherman was in possession of Haines' Bluff,was published by the Memphis Bulletin. There is nothing definite from the expedition against Fort Pemberton. _ The reported sinking of one Federal steamer and the disabling of another by the Vicksburg batteries is confirmed. At the Grand Gulf the steamers Hartford and Albatross have encountered formidable batteries, and both have received some damage. The Federal general Gilmore officially reports from Somerset, Kentucky, 31st March, that be en countered a force of 2,000 Confederates, under General Pegram, and that they outnumbered him two to one ; but he attacked them, and after five hours' fighting, drove them in confusion across into Cumberland- He intimates that the Confederates suffered a loss of WO, including 400 prisoners, while that of the Federals was 30. The Confederates have made a raid into Wil liamsburg, Virginia. They left after driving a small Federal force out of the town. The Confederates, 20,000 strong, are since re ported in front of Williamsburg, threatening an ' immediate attack. Vague reports oontinue to be received of an in tended evacuation of Richmond. Considerable excitement exists at San Francisco from the report of a threatened demonstration by a body of Seceesionista to capture the Mare bland navy-yard and the Venetia arsenaL No danger is, however, apprehended, u the number of the Seces sionists is but small.

It will be remembered that the Ward force of drilled Chinese recently passed into the command of Captain Rolland, of the R.M.L.L, on the removal of General Burgevine by the native authorities at Shanghse. A corrwmondent of the North China Herald gives the following particulars of the occurrence •. The rebel@ fought admirably, and were ell well anted with Rumpus =white. A. mistake was mode in placing the gum ea oboe to the walls ; the artillerymen were shot down as they stood beside them, as there was no cover. I doubt whether their IN did much execalion among the prrieso, la it was all osseentrated on one point of the wall, which of court* they took good care to avoid. When the troop advanced to the assault, however, they stood gallantly in the ,breaoh and fired point blank at theca. The lam of the Soesiiteag force cannot yet be correctly ascertained, as stragglers will probably drop in for some days to come. At the presses Use it meows of about 600,kfiled, wounded, and mining. Twenty casualties comma among the Europeans. Captain Maunder, Maauthy, Macleod, and Bosworth killed, sodtweive other officers, betidr four ma wwandad. Awn the former an, Captains Graham. Murray, Tapp Silveatou„ and Dunn. The latter is shot through the groin, and it is feared will sot recover. The retreat, it appears, was orderly, and only a portion of the mandarins' troops fell into confusion. Major BMW= has made an attempt against a city called Fooshan ' which was unsuccessful for want of boats. The troops behaved very gallantly, it is said, but lost ten lulled and ten wounded. This is the third expeditiOn against the rebels in the cor, ~. of a few Irooka whirb lase hosn nn. succeedul. The latest intelligence to band sari, briefly, that Captain Gordon, R.E., is to command the disci plined Chinese, in place of "Captain Holland." From Ningpo, we learn that General Lebrethon bas been succeeded in command of the disciplined Chinese force by General Tardif, and that the troops were, at the date of our advice. (Feb. 19) under the walls of Sbaou-hing ready for the assault. Breaching guns of heavy metal bad been brought down from Bhanghae by Captain Dew, and a note received at Ningpo on the 18th inst. stated that the city would be attacked on the first or second day following. The taking of Sheat hing will be a great event, as it will open up the whole of the silk and cotton districts, and greatly improvethe commercial prospects of Niugpo. Should Shahou-ping be taken, Hang-chow will be made for at once. JAPAN. In Japan another outrage has been committed upon the British minister, not in his person fortu nately, but in the destruction of the new Legation building at Yedo, a portion of which was COTO piste& It appears that of late the strongest desire has existed among the Japanese authorities at Yedo to have the place demolished. They proposed to give Colonel Neale any other place he might choose from a number at their disposal, and to bear all the expense of removing the building from the Goten-yarna (the Hyde-p►rk of Yedo) to the place Colonel Neale should select. The latter did not like to sot in the matter after the site had been de liberately conceded to Sir It. Alcock and approved by him. In the meantime, those hostile to its re- mining on the Goten-yama had it set fire to and demolished by bags of gunpowder, on the bit inst. The hostility of the Japanese seems to be on the increase, and they are gradually preparing for the worst. From the Aanghae Recorder, we quote the following "Orden of the Mikado to the Tycoon with respect to Foreigners :" Fora long time the plan of expelling the barbarians has been thought upon by no, and although it has been put off up to the present time, the imperial will cannot change. Whilst, in the department of the Tycoon, Outgo' have been gradually made in every way in the carrying out of new eye. tam, we have rem. hod the respect entertained for our will. But if DOW the snot expulsion of the barbarians does sot take plass, the hearts of the people will not be united ; this causes great sorrow to the imperial bosom. Let the Tycoon do all in his power to ensure the expulsion of the barbarian, ; sad orders must speedily be given to all the Dsimioe. Moreover, it is the duty of the oommaoderin. chief of the army (the Tycoon or Shoo-new) to carry out the steps of the scheme. Quickly and with baste complete the whole resolve ; make certain what has been deliberated upon for the state up to the present ; and determine on the precise time when communications with the ugly barbarian. shall cease. You will present a report to us on this matter. (Tranalatioo). —F.. H. B. VICTORIA. The parliament was sitting at Melbourne, and were engaged on several measures of much import ance to the colony.
