FRANCE. PARIS. Sr.ar 2. The Emperor presided at a Ministerial Council to-day. The Camp of Chitlona was raised raterdax. La France of this evening publishes letters from St. Petersburg to the 28th ult., according to which the retrograde party opposed the scheme of a con stitution. It was probable, however, that this party would not succeed in its endeavours. It was smarted that Prince Gortchakoff, who was also opposed to the scheme, had modified his ideas. La France does not think that the new phase into which the negotiations on the Polish question have entered will weaken the good understanding between France, England, and Austria. The Pays of this evening says the report is in correct that France has protested against article 8 of the project for the reform in the constitution of the German Confederacy. The Pays also states that it is not true that M. Drouyn de Lhuys will take leave of absence. Prince Napoleon has arrived at Cherbourg. A despatch received here from St. Petersburg announces that the Czar is preparing for a journey to Finland and the Crimea. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. BRESLAU, Barr. 2. _ . - The Bresiauer Zeitung of to-day publishes intel ligence from lialisch to the 31st August, an nouncing that a body of insurgents, under Tao zanowski, had been totally defeated. The infantry were entirely cut up and the cavalry very much so. Taczanowski had retreated towards Oracow. THE FRANKFORT CONGRFSS. (1110 Y oos owl FRANKFORT, Barr. 1. . - An Austrian memorandum has been sent to the Princes on the result cf their discussions. It is stated therein that the final vote could only be given for or against the proposals, and that no other reserves could be made than the sanction of Prussia and of the respective Chambers. The ministerial conferences which will now follow are to take place here, and it is generally believed that Prussia will attend them. Count Bismarck is expected here to-day, on his way to Berlin, the King having chosen the roundabout way by Mentz, to avoid passing through this town just now. The debates of the Congress are now closed ; the I vote will be taken to-day. It has been au arduous task for the Emperor ; every morning at five o'clock be has been busy in his cabinet, and be has held conferences till midnight. The principal points have been settled by the Princes, and only the minor points will be discussed now by ministers. The Austrian project has been mended in this respect, that a majority of two to one will be required to force the Confederation into a war for the non-German territories of German princes. The following paragraphs have been adopted nem. cow :-1. Increased authority of the Confedera tion. 2. New organs of the Confederation. 4 Federal council. 5. Presidency in the executive and in the Federal council. 6. Powers to be entrusted to the executive and the Federal council. 1 18. Assembly of delegates. 21, 22. Right of petition and remonstrances, and subjects for de liberation of the delegates. 24. Order of votes in the Assembly of Princes. 26. Double competence of the Federal court of justice. 36. Continued va lidity of the present laws of the Confederation. The following paragraphs have been amended : 3. Formation of the executive. & War and peace, a majority of two to one to be required. 9. Com petence of the Confederation in the interior mattem of the state. 11. Competence in internallegislation. 27. The powers entrusted to the judges of the Federal court. The paragraphs reserved for the deliberations of ministers refer to the foreign affairs of the Con federation ; to peace and concord between the princes ; to military matters ; to the position of the Federal authorities with regard to the delegates ; to the regulations for the return of members to the Delegate Assembly ; to the adjournment and dissolution of the same ; to the representatives of the old nobility in the Assembly of Princes ; to the resolutions to be reserved to the princes alone ; together with various details respecting the corn. peteuce of the high court of justice. To-day the assembled Princes had their photo graphs taken, and it seems as if by the day after to-morrow this place will wear its ordinary aspect. The Emperor will be always held in friendly reool lection, as by his plain and unceremonious manners in public be has become very popular. It is stated that conferences upon commercial matters between Austria and the other States have already begun, so that the Zollverein is more in jeopardy than ever. It is the universal opinion of the English and of all the foreign residents here that the new compact, when acted upon, will put an end to the bellicose tendencies of the Emperor Napoleon ; and the French, who must be, I should think, heartily sick of wars for "ideas," ought to be very much rejoiced.

When the insurrection broke out, his peasants came to him and asked him what it meant, And what course they i had better adopt. Owing to his care for their welfare, a truly patriarchal state of things seems to have existed iu this particular case between the pro- prietor and peasant. I may add that the proprietor is a well-known patriot, and has given two of his sons to the insurrection. However, much to his honour, when the peasants came to him, this gentleman, not feeling himself sufficiently sure of the success of the movement, could not bring himself to tell them to join it, knowing the dreadful retribution awaiting them at the hands of the Russians if the insurrectionshould be put down. "1 could part with my sons," said he, "but when those simple fellows came tome, I had not the heart to tell them to go and fight." In general he assures me that the peasantry are good Poles, but haters of disorder. They have no notion of any govern ment which is not embodied in the person of the sovereign. Therefore it is that the national govern ment has so little influence with them. "We live in a terrible state of things," added this gentle man. "One day a messenger arrives with a rues seri bspia, the national government forbidding 'ua to pay taxes to the Rinsdane ;oder psis of death. The next, the Russians threaten to place ns before a court-martial if we withhold payment. Our nerves will not stand it much longer ; we shall lose our reason soon." On the Lt of September the Russians are going to commence the following system of collecting the taxes :—Parties of 300 infantry and 60 Cossacks are to be appointed tax collectors, and will receive orders to quarter themselves on the proprietor till the taxes are paid. (ls= OUR anew. coasseroinnsr.) CRACOW, ACIOUST 29. As it will probably be some weeks before I have another opportunity of writing freely about the Polish question, the Russians not permitting any correspondence which does not tell in their favour to issue from their dominions, I avail myself of this last chance to send you a few lines. Owing to the continued interruption of traffic on the Cracow and Warsaw line, I am compelled sithee to give up my journey for the present, or to run the risk of travelling to Warsaw with posthorses by the high road, which passes through Miechow, Kielce, and Radom. As two other English gentlemen are in the same plight as myself, we have arranged to make the journey together. We are variously informed as to the probable reception we shall meet with, but on the whole we do not look forward tea very savoury journey. That it will be highly instructive is beyond a doubt, and we are certain to gather some interesting details. I be lieve that the country through which we are about to pass has not been traversed by and English traveller since the days of Ocrx, who visited Poland in the end of the last century. We shall, no doubt, be subjected to every sort of annoyance, but we shall be amply repaid by view ing with our own eyes the true state of that country which at present occupies the attention of Europe. In the Russian commandant at Miechow, I am told, we shall have a gentleman to deal with ; but if report speaks true, we shall find General Czengery, at Kielce, a very unpleasant customer. It may turn out that in indulging in these specula tions, we are " counting our chickens before they are hatched," for it is quite possible that we shall not be permitted to pass the frontier. I was yesterday introduced to a gentleman who has distinguished himself very much in the present insurrection, but whose name I dare not give, as it would compromise him with the authorities. I bad beard high praise of his bravery and noble character, and was much struck with my inter view with him. The story of his escape is excit ing to the last degree. Severely wounded in an engagement near Warsaw, he was only rescued from the Cossack slaughtering parties by the heroism of a few of his men, who succeeded in conveying him to the house of a neighbouring proprietor, where he was secreted for some days, till a message was brought by a mysterious indi vidual, who declined to give his name, that the premises would that night be subjected to a most rigorous revision. No time was to be lost, and the chief, in an almost dying state, was conveyed to an old pavilion in the woods, long since untenanted, except by rats, and there hidden among cobwebs and old lumber. Scarcely was this operation safely accomplished when a troop of Cossacks arrived, and surrounded the dwelling-house. It was now about midnight, and the order was given to search the premises. Happily nothing of a compromising nature was discovered, and the Cossacks were baffled of their prey. It is only fair to add that, as far as lam aware, no violence was committed. It would take up too much space to give the details of my hero's history till he got safely across the Galician frontier, but I cannot abstain from noticing a very painful incident, which happened in his presence at Warsaw, before he put himself at the head of his detachment. A certain lady—l have her name but I dare not give it—suspected of being connected in some way with the national government, was visited two days after her confinement by the police, and her house subjected to • revision. It appears that their suspicions were confirmed, or even Russians could not have been guilty of the inhuman barbarity which followed. Were I not convinced of the credibility of my informant, whose character is such that it entitles him to the fullest belief, I should not venture to give the painful details, which I feel it my duty not to withhold. The suspected lady, in a fainting condition, was dragged from her bed, and down the stairs, which were marked with a I stream of blood which flowed from her body. In this condition ate was conveyed to prison, and thrust into a cell, which contained a wooden bedstead, without any sort of bedding. The gentleman from whom these particulars are derived, after obtaining permission from the authorities, himself supplied the lady with a mattress and pillows. Is it surprising that, with scenes like this enacting under his eyes, he should have hastened to join the insurgent ranks. He added, that one of his sons had been shot like a dog by the Russians, and the other was fighting against them. When he spoke of his sons the tears came into the eyes of his wife, who showed me the photo graph of his favourite boy, whom she Would eec no more in this world. PUBLIC FEELING IN ITALY. (now AZ OCCUSONAL LEOHORN, Aoautrr 29. Several months of absolute inertia in the pro gressive movement of Italy's political enfranchise meat have brought the malcontent of all classes to a culminating point. The popularity of the King and ministers is most seriously involved ; there is a general voice of grumbling and regret, where there was hopefulness, cheerfulness , and joy. In fact, the government, through tie inertia, has fallen into contempt. There is deplorable failing in the initiation of any firmly marked line of policy in the realm • there is a deplorable lack in Italy of repre sentative men, in whom the interests of this (would-be) great country are stoutly blended in the very heart's being and substance, and in every public and private act. The policy of Count Cavour has found no successor to carry it into execution with an iron hand, a cool judgment, and an argument made elo quently plausible to the whole world by a statesman of the first order, and self-awakened Italy becomes every day more and more alive to the irreparable loss she has sustained. She is every day more disquieted as to her present posi tion and future fate in her newly acquired position as one of the chosen kingdoms of the earth. In this one year of interval between the deplorable fight at Aspromonte and this day—that fight in which brethren took arms against each other—when Italy arise as a single man to side with the mode rate party 'even against her princely soldier Garibaldi—ltaly bee awakened to a sense of soreness and wrong, of petty injustice and misgovernment, whiub has broken the bouds of unity, and opened the eyes of the country to the miserable fatuity of the governing majority; and the new malcontents have come over from the opposite side to thicken Garibaldi's ranks, if by Garibaldi be meant that stirring spirit of freedom which, at the risk of any self-sacrifice, aspires to the real liberation of the Italian laud. After a bitter pause, and galling rumours, and an appalling silence, in these latter times, there has lately been a threatening of general outburst in the opinion of the democratical party of Italy. This outbreak was to have taken place this day, 29th of August, the anniversary of Aspromonte. The movement was to have been simultaneous in Flo ream, Leghorn, Genoa, Milan, etc. It was to have been a red-shifted movement, with " Viva Gari baldi," and we know not what else. Here in Leghorn, however, the police had bad timely warning ; thus measures have been taken to pre vent a disturbance of the peace. It is said that several of the leaders have been arrested. Many hundred red shirts have been found secreted, together with firearms, in several private dwellings. Amongst others, some 300 red ahirts are said to have been found in the house of a certain S. Garoglino, brother to the Garibaldi= officer of the same name, who was lately ar rested at Constantinople (by order of the Italian ambassador, the Marquis Bella) on suspicion of his agency in the enrolment of free troops at Bucharest. Reit forcements of troops have been sent to Leghorn, and up to the present moment the most perfect tranquillity reigns at the surface ; but the storm of passionate protestation, long pent up, is not quelled—nay, this threatening attitude of the popu lation, which has given as yet no outward signs wofoulid scarcet aexiSt y existence, save beene wboyri4silzinttionre;nppag ercep ea a token of sae present attitude of the popular mind in Italy, worn out and wearied as it is by the inane government which is at its head. The people sicken at the palpable languor discernible iu every department of government. Decrees are first issued ; then often countermanded, or allowed to fall into contempt. At times application is made of these decrees in some few of the Italian pro vinces, whilst in others the law is modified or evaded. This fact of evasion is applicable in Tus cany to the law issued (throughout Italy) for the suppression of the monastic orders. At Naples the decree has been carried out de facto, whilst in the Tuscan provinces these orders continue in most instances to thrive unmolested, whilst in others the inmates of monasteries which are required as localities for other uses, are thrust out of their comfortable quarters, and for want of proper subsidy are forced to seek asylum with the inmates of other conventual houses. Thus the inmates of three nunneries are suffered sometimes to brood together in one single monastery, not cer tainly for their own edification, nor to that of lookers-on who cannot help being imp resse d w ith the flagnuicy of the fact. Besides this wanton irregularity in the action of the government and its many arbitrary acts, there is a galling tendency to centralise the action of government at Turin. Everything, from the most important to the most tedious detail and minutia, of government, issues from Turin, and this causes great disgust. Before a street-sweeper or the pettiest einploy4 can be engaged in the subsidy of public employment a ratification of the charge must be issued from Turin—every petty detail must emanate from headquarters. No wonder that the mention of the very name of Turin his become die tasteful throughout Italy. The very paper used in the publio o ffi ces of Italy must issue from the Turin office. ; and the absurd farce is enacted of sending the stationery back to Naples, where it was originally fabricated, after it has in the first instance passed at Turin through the government bureaux. The loss of time and surplus of expenditure accruing from all this trifling is infinite. There are rumours of a change in the ministry, which are every day repeated, to be every day contradicted. There is nothing certain as yet, save the fact of a general disquietude and dissatis faction in the mind of Italy, which harbours change, and it must be hoped amelioration of the present state of things. It is impossible to I was also informed by this gentleman that twelve ladies of his acquaintance, suspected of being con nected with the insurrectionary movement, bad been lately seized and carried off to the citadel, where they were detained till an order arrived to send them off to Siberia. Before starting on their journey, the authorities directed that the hair of the ladies should be cropped abort off, and their hands put in irons. This order was carried out, and, with their arms so fastened that they could not move them night or day, the unfortunate victims were sent off on foot to Siberia. There is a province in the kingdom of Poland, to the east of Warsaw, called Podlachia. Here since ' the commencement the insurrection has always flourished, and I have at length found the explana tion. In the kingdom Lithuania and the Ruthe nian provinces, which made up the Poland of 1772, there is a very large class of petite noblesse. A tra veller unacquainted with its history might pass through the country without perceiving that the petite noblesse differed in any way from the ordinary peasantry. For in outward appearance there is nothing todistinguish these villagers from those of their neigh bours. But on a nearer inspection, a certain amount of neatness and a greater love of cleanliness will be found to characterise their dwellings. But it is in its traditions that the petite noblesse takes the greatest pride. In the palmy days of Poland this class was distinguished from the rest of the peasantry in enjoying the title of citizen, and consequently voting at the Diet. Now that all this his departed, only the memory of the put remains to them. Without exception they are patriots to the backbone, and the insurrection his found a powerful support among them. Now this province of Podlachia is the head-quarters of the petite noblesse, so it is not surprising that the movement should hold its ground there. A proprietor, who is on excellent terma with his peasants, related to me yesterday an interesting con versation he had with them before leaving home. (Stamped, Id.

The Canadian screw steamer Bohemian, from Quebec on the 22nd la, arrived at Liverpool about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. By her we receive New York journals of the 20th, Boston and Port land of the 21st, and Quebec and Montreal of the 22nd ult. The draft in New York was progressing quietly. A telegram, of the 20th, says : The draft to the Tilted* Ward was completed today without the slighted signs of disattsfaction. Amoog the drafted are William H.

The latest advice' from the headquarters of the army of the Potomac report no change, and no in dication of any change, in the position of affairs. Richmond papers contain the following : Morton, Miss., August 12.. General Price was at Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Taylor's army was at Berwick Bay. One of his field batteries struck two transports near Donaldsonville last Thursday. Ormond Smith's hesd•quartere were at Shreveport. He Yu called on the governor of the trans-Mississippi States to meet him at Marshal Teem on the 15th. The governor at Texas hae taken the field with 10,000 State troops. General Magruder'. headquarters are at Galveston. Neither of the Richmond papers of the 15th refer to the retaliatory execu tion of Cements Sawyer and Flynu, which was to have taken place on Friday, the 14th, and at is probable that Sher execution has been postponed. There is not much danger of its Wog carried out so bog aa Gemini W. H. Lee and Captain Winder are held u hostages fur them. It is represented that authentic advices concur in showing that the force of the Confederates around Culpepper has been reduced to General A. P. Bill's command, while Generals Lougstreet and Ewell have moved southward, probably to Fredericksburg. The United States steamer De Soto had been active among the blockade runners. She captured the English schooner Lady Maria, with 300 bales of Sea Island cotton. She had run the blockade at St. Mark. On the 18th the De Sow captured the steamer James Battle, one day out from Mobile, with 635 bales of cotton and a quantity of tuTen time ; and ou the same night she captured the steamer William Bagley, with 700 balm of cotton. A letter from the gunboat Sagamore states that that vessel on the Bth captured three vessels from Nassau, in addition to others previously taken, all laden with contraband goods of great value to the rebels. Tho same vessel destroyed the small town of Smyrna, Florida, on the 26th ult., which place was a rendezvous for guerillas. The following advice' are dated New York, August 20 : The transport steamship Fulton, Captain Wottoe, from Port Royal, South Carolina, arrived at this port yesterday morning. The officers of the Fulton state that the slap of Forts Wagner and Sumter was still progressing favour- ably; the Lnd and naval forces were daily engaged in shelling both forte. They give it as their impression that the grand attack would not take place for some time. The rebels were erecting • number of batteries on James Island, and were bombarding the Federal troops in Morris Island. The following despatch is from the correspondent of the Baltimore American: Flagship Dinsmore, Sunday, August 16. Since Monday event. here have been rather monotonous. We have been exchanging shell and shot with the rebels night and day, with probably but little damage to either side. The enemy's object was to retard General Gillniore's siege works on share, but they have all been perfected for moms days. The intention to open on the 13th was aban doned on account of some difficulty as to the quantity of army ammunition, and owing to the serious indisposition Of Gen. Gillmore. He is, however, much better, and tht opening of heavy siege work will commence at daybreak to-morrow, The shore batteries, in getting the range of their gum yes terday and the day before, knocked three hole* in the Ira k of Sumter. The Selma in;reesion prevails that tte rebels are O T IKUIt ; 74 that fort, and will blow it up as soon as the slisault commences. Out of nearly 30 gnus on the parapols ten days ago but six now remain ; most of those in the nUerratai had previously disappeared. The rebels have erected a line of earthworks a mile long on James Island, from Fort Johnson to Seceesionville, although they have bat few guns mounted as yet. This is supposed to be the destination of the guns taken from Sumter. Our picket boats around Sumter report that there is great activity among the rebels every night, with schooners, steamers, he. The weather continues line, with • very calm us, and is most favourable for our operations. The sun is hot, but s good sea breeze and occasional thunder showers cool the air. Everything is now in readiness, and on shore, and all are looking forward to the work of to-morrow, cer tain of complete success. Reinforcements continue to ar. rive daily, and quite. bugs army is now on the island. On Wednesday night the rebels opened on our works with grape and canister, on information received from two 'utters, who deserted to the enemy.We lost two killed and two wounded. The monitors went up in the night, opened on Wagner, and the rebel guns were soon silenced. Admiral Dahl gran went on board the Patapsco, joining her under the guns of Fort Wagner, and cam, near being taken off by • ICtisch shot from the fort. The indications are that the rebels will depend principally upon their obstructions and interior line of defences. In the attack to come off to-morrow the humbler will engage Fort Wagner and keep bee silent, whilst the monitors and shore batteries engage Sumter; at the same time the wooden fleet and mortar schooners will engage Moultrie. It will be a grand affair. The rebel works on James Island indicate that an attempt will be made on the part of the rebels to drive General Gilmore off Morris Island, or to so annoy him as to interfere with his siege of Sumter. The following despatches are published in the New York papers: WASHINGTON, AUGWT 19. The government received a despatch from Charleston rid Fortress Monroe this morning, to the effect that on Friday and Saturday the bombardment was terrific. The action of the sea was so great on Sunday, that the gunboat. could not operate with the land batteries with any good result. On Monday it wee expected that the sea would be smooth enough to enable the iron. clads to join again in the attack. This despite& says them was a report tbat General Gil more had succeeded le reaching Charleston with one of his long range gam, and bad actually thrown shot into the city to such an extent as to mil forth a flag of truce from Gene ral Beaaregard cu the lab**. It is proper to as; is this connection that there is no official confirmation of this " wonderful" exploit in gunnery, nor in the report believed by military engineers in Um city.
