Tl.e course actually pursued by the Moorish Mi nister therefore appears to have been the right one. The assistance of Moorish soldiers was given upon the Consul's requisition, but when, upon investiga tion, it was found that he had exceeded his juris diction, the Minister demanded the release of the prisoners, and only permitted their embarkation on board an American ship of war after the Consul had threatened to strike his flag and leave the country in case of refusal. Then the Moorish Minister yielded, fearing the responsibility of in volving the Sultan in another war. The whole affair is but another version of the old story--the might of the strong overriding the right of the weak. Morocco is an independent State, becoming every year, from the importance of its productions, more closely connected with the European system. Chris tian powers by their treaties recognise it as a Sove reign State, and it therefore possesses all the rights of one. The right involved in the present question is very clearly defined by the writers on interna tional law t by none more clearly than the American authority, Wheaton, who says : " ' No Sovereign State is bound, unless by special compact, to deliver up persons, whether its own subjects or foreigners, charged with, or convicted of crimes in another country, upon the demand of a foreign State, or its officers of justice.' " The Sultan has chosen by compact to cede cer tain of his sovereign rights, in order that Christians residing in his dominions may enjoy the milder laws of their own country and not be subject to the rough and summary processes of Mahommedan justice. This surely should obtain for him greater respect for the sovereign rights he retains. On this ground we believe that the United States' Govern ment will disapprove the act of their Consul. It is clear, besides, that this is a question which concerns not only the United States and Morocco, but all the Christian States who have treaties with the latter. Under the favoured nation clause, all enjoy the same rights, immunities, and privileges. The United States cannot, therefore, push her jurisdiction in Morocco beyond the limits of the others. But since the seizure of political offenders in the territory of the Sultan, against his will, would be a manifest violation of his sovereign rights, it is not to be sup posed that the statesmen who guide European Governments will commit the flagrant political immorality of extorting the Sultan's consent to such seizures, merely because he is weak and unable to resist. Will the United States, then, claim a jurisdiction which other Governments are prevented by their sense of justice from asserting? We have no right to think so, and it seems ulc, , IT probable that the act of the United States' agent at Tangier will not be ratified by his Government. Advices from Teneriffe to the 26th of February, received at Gibraltar, state that a French squadron, composed of two ships of the line and four frigates, having on board 2,000 infantry and 400 cavalry, had put into that port and left for Vera Cruz. The Peninsular and Oriental steamship Ceylon, Captain R. W. Evans, with the outward Calcutta and China mails from Southampton, arrived at Gib raltar on the 14th, and went on to Malta and Alex andria. The screw steamer Pactolus, which was disabled some time ago in the collision with the French screw ship of the line Fontenoy, in the Straits of Gibraltar, left Gibraltar for Liverpool on the after noon of the 13th, in tow of the screw steamer Vene- tian, which was to cast her off when at a consider- able distance beyond Cape Spartel, and the Pactolus to continue her voyage under canvas. The brig Eliza Bowen, which parted cables and ran ashore near the watering jetty during the gale of the 2d inst., was got off on the afternoon of the 13th. THE NAVY. We understand that the Admiralty are about to take a lease of Lord Ashburton's mansion and grounds, on the shore of Stokes Bay, which have been recently purchased by the War Department. It is the intention of the Admiralty when the hse and (grounds are handed over to them, to fit the mansion up as a college, to which we presume sea-going tenders will be attached. It is situated at the western end of Stokes Bay, immediately oppo site the Palace of Osborne, and the lawn extends to within 50 yards of high water mark. The ap proach to the house is by a handsome drive with Gothic lodges ', - and entrance gates. A flight of steps lead to the porch, which gives entry to a noble hall, right and left of which are rooms of unusual size and height, admirably adapted for mess and school rooms, lecture-hall, and library. The upper story contains 30 bed rooms, capable of giving accommodation at once to 100 cadets. A large garden, which extends from the back of the house, would be amply suffi cient to supply the establishment all the year round with fruit and vegetables, while a ten-acre field adjacent to the lawn would furnish a capital play ground. Forty acres of land altogether imme diately surround the house. The shingly beach in front of the mansion affords a capital spot for the cadets to haul up and stow their light pulling gigs, while beyond low-water mark the nature of the ground will afford an anchorage where large sailing boats can be moored. The sleeping accommodation being at present limited to 100 boys, would, of course, not be sufficient for a naval college where there is an average of 200 cadets ; but a wing could be added at little expense, and this addition would leave nothing to be desired in the mansion and estate. It would be contiguous to a Government dockyard ; would be sufficiently distant, being two miles from Gosport, from any town to protect the pupils from the temptations thrown in the way of youths in a populous neighbourhood; and would be situate on a dry gravelly soil, with a southerly aspect, and near enough to the beach to have ready access to boats and sea-going tenders. We trust the nego tiation will be closed as speedily as possible for the sake of all concerned. It takes upwards of 200 °Milers and men on board the Britannia to look after 200 cadets. This could not be the case in a college, and therefore on this point alone much expense might and would be saved. Again, we can see no reason why a college should not be mainly self-sup porting. By the regulations, each cadet pays, on join ing the Britannia, £l6 for mess expenses, and £lO per quarter afterwards. This, at £56 per annum for each cadet, gives a revenue of £11,200 per annum. Each cadet, however, according to the present rules, receives back a balance at the end of the year, which averages about £l2, and this reduces the actual income to some £B,BOO per annum—a very handsome sum, and one which really ought to go a long way to make the establishment independent of Government assistance. The official trial of the engines and machinery of the screw steam-sloop Royalist took place a few days ago at Plymouth. She was launched last year at Devonport, measures 686 tons, and was prepared for carrying 11 guns, but, in consequence of the recent Admiralty regulations, will not carry so many. The place of those forward will be occu pied by a traversing Armstrong, to fire over either bow. The African, a sister ship, building at Devon port, will have four Armstrongs ; her completion has been delayed by the necessary alterations. Two other sloops of the same class are to be laid down, to carry four Armstrongs only. The engines of the Royalist, a pair of 150 horse power collectively, are from the Greenock Foundry, which was represented by Mr. Lamone. They are horizontal direct acting; cylinders, 38 inches ; stroke, 2 feet ; and can be worked up to about 650 horses. The shaft is 65 feet long, and the propeller, Griffiths's, is of 10 feet diameter, with a pitch of 13 feet. The trial was superintended by Commander Risk, Mr. Steil, of the Steam Reserve, and Mr. Ward, from Keyham Steamyard. The Royalist, which is not masted, draws 9 feet 8 inches forward and 12 feet 4 inches aft. The wind was strong from the eastward. Six runs at the measured mile, under full power, pro- duced an average speed of a little more than 11 knots ; revolutions per minute, 106 ; pressure, over 201 b. ; vacuum, 263 inches. There were no hot bearings, and the trial seemed to give entire satis faction to the Government officers. The undernamed have been nominated to naval cadetships :--H. J. Wodehouse, G. B. Long, R. C. Bloomfield, and Horatio Nelson Pudding. The following appointments were made on Mon day at the Admiralty !—Lieut. F. S. Thompson and Lieut. David Boyle, to the Tribune ; Lieut. J. H. Vidal, to the Excellent ; E.' G. Hulton, midshipman to the Tribune; R. J. Wilson, chief engineer, to the Magicienne ; T. E. Buckle, engineer, to the Cum berland, for the Mullet ; J. T.

Peters, first class assist. engineer TEE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. At the United Service Institution, on Monday evening, a paper was read by Captain C. Pasley, RE., "On the War in New Zealand," in which he was engaged and wounded. On the lecture table there was placed a large model of a New Zealand pah, fortified in the usual manner, and a portrait of one of the chiefs who took a prominent part in the late war was exhibited. Captain Pasley cora• menced by giving a sketch of the history of the colony from the earliest period to the commence. ment of the war, in which ho represented the natives in a more favourable light than is usual. About three-fourths of the Maories have been con verted to Christianity, and they are, he said, as good Christians as the average of Englishmen, one. half of them having been converted by the mis sionaries of the Church of England and one fourth by the Wesleyans and Roman Catholics. The liturgy has been translated into their lan guage, and they never undertake anything with out a previous prayer meeting, in which the liturgy is used, in the responses of which they gene rallyjoin. They are very particular in their observ ance of Sunday, and one of the advantages gained over them during the war was owing to the pah having been surprised whilst they were attending religious service, for they did not calculate on Christian soldiers attacking them on a Sunday, On their conversion to Christianity they ceased the practice of eating human flesh, and none of the na tives are now cannibals. The superior character of the Maories to other savages was shown on their first communications with Europeans by their pre ference of useful articles, especially of steel imple ments and blankets, to mere ornaments, and they were extremely industrious in manufacturing and procuring articles for barter. So early as 1822 the chief of the northern promontory visited this coun try, and took back with him 30 muskets, with which his tribe were enabled to extend their conquests over a large pori,;.n of the northern island. This early initiation in the use of fire arms, and the natu rally warlike character of the natives, have been principal causes of the difficulties that have been Encountered during the recent war. Captain Pasley gave an account of the origin of the war, in which he vindicated the conduct of the Home Government and of the governors of the colony from the charges that have been made against them, by the local press and by some of the newspapers in this coun try, of ill-treatment of the natives, and of mismanage. ment. The immediate cause of the war was the purchase by the Government of a small tract of lad about 10 miles north of New Plymouth. The lattl was sold with the full consent of the tribe to which it belonged, but William King, the chief most hos tile to English rule, objected to the appropriation of any more of the island by the English, and there fore he opposed the sale, though not having any claim to the land itself. It was the maintenance of the right to this purchase that caused the war. Capt, Pasley pointed out the great difficulties which the English troops had to encounter in hostilities with an-active, courageous, and enterprising enemy, in a very difficult country, intersected by ravines and covered with bush, and who, by their spies, were fully aware of the positions of the troops, whilst the latter had few means of ascertaining the movements of the enemy ; for those tribes of natives who were in professed alliance with the colonists would not give any information that might prove destructive to the other tribes. As an instance of the difficulty of warfare in such a country, it was stated that the enemy would be completely con cealed by ferns that grew six feet high, and from that ambush they could fire on the troops unseen. The reverses on several attacks on the pahs on pre vious occasions had given confidence to the natives, who imagined they were far superior individually to the soldiers, and they were thus emboldened .to make war.

THE EAST INDIA, CHINA, AND AUS TRALIAN NAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Pera, Capt. T. Jamieson, arrived at South ampton yesterday, at 7.30 a.m., with the heavy portion of the above-named mails, in charge of Mr. B. Perkins, of the Genf ral Post-office. She brought 93 passengers £57,700 in specie, 95 packages of goods for the Exhibition, 912 bales of silk, 83 cases of indigo, 800 sacks of grain, 43 boxes of oranges, and 240 packages of general merchandise. The Pera left Alexandria on the 6th inst., Malta on the 10th, and Gibraltar on the 14th. From Alex andria to Malta she had north-westerly winds and fine weather; thence to Gibraltar westerly winds and rain ; calms and fine clear weather as far as Cape Finisterre, and the remainder of the passage light easterly winds, fine weather andsmooth water. On the 16th, at 5 30 a.m., the Pera spoke the Indus, with the outward Bombay mails, steering to the southward; on the 17th, the steamship Aurora, steering south; and on the 18th, at 12 30 p.m., the Tagus with the outward Peninsular mails, a little to the northward of Ushant. Her Majesty's ships Firebrand, Pelican, Doris, and Osborne were at Alexamdria ; the Marlborough at Malta ; and the Scylla, Procris, anp Redpole at London, Captain Chads, left Gibraltar on the after noon of the 11th inst., under steam, for Western Islands. The Intrepid left for the eastward at 11 30 a.m. on the 18th. The Amphion also sailed for the east at 9 a. - m. on the 10th. The French steam sloop Coligny was at Gibraltar on the 14th. The Titan left for the east on the morning of the 10th. The Swedish corvette Lagerbjelke, Capt. K. L. N. Dag, 16 Jays from Malta, arrived at Gibraltar on the 9th, and saluted the garrison with 21 guns on her arrival, which was returned from the saluting battery. The American Federal corvette Tuscarora, Corn. Craven ; steam sloop Kearsarge, Corn. C. Pickering; and sailing ship Ino were lying in the roadstead of Algeciras. The Confederate steamer Sumter, Capt. Semmes, remained at Gibraltar. The Kearsarge ar rived at Gibraltar from America, Madeira, and Cadiz on the afternoon of the Bth, and went across to Algeciras the same afternoon. The Ino had taken the two American gentlemen seized at Tangiers to Cadiz, Ns here they were transferred to the American merchant ship Harvest Home, which sailed almost immediately afterwards for Boston, and the Ino re turned to Algeciras. It was said that the prisoners were kept in irons. Referring to the brief conver sation which took place in the House of Commons on the 3d inst., on this question, the Gibraltar Chronicle of the 11th says:— " With respect to the allegation that no pressure had been pnt upon the Moorish Government to affect the arrest, and that. by the law of Morocco the representative of a Christian Power has juris diction over the subjects of his own Government, the true state of the facts appears to be this :—By the law of Morocco the Sultan has absolute and despotic power in his dominions ; by special con ventions he has waived the exercise of this power over , delegating it tatives of those States. These conventions , ho w e ver, code the juris dictionjover Christians residing in Morocco for of fences committed in the country, and have never been understood either by Morocco or Christian States to confer upon the latter the right to pursue and capture upon Moorish territory political offen ders. Such offenders have heretofore found as secure an asylum in Morocco as in any independent State of Europe. They have usually b een men of liberal opinions flying from the persecution of an absolute Government; and it will be singular if this refuge should now be destroyed by the agent of a Govern ment boasting itself the freest in the world. Who ever will turn to the last British Treaty with Mo rocco, that of 1857, will find that while Article 11 gives the right to British Consuls to call for the as sistance of Moorish soldiers to arrest or transport British subjects, Article 15 sp ec ifi es the only ease in which such subjects are to be conveyed out of the country and placed on board ship—naraely, when sailors attempt to desert their vessel—a very neces sary provision to prevent British shipping being disabled in Moorish ports for want of hands. Eng land does not even stipulate for the surrender of deserters, but there is a reciprocal engagement that deserters from the service of one State shall not be received into that of the other. We may fairly as sume that the conventions made with Morocco by other Christian States are substantially the same as that of England, and that equal privileges and ad vantages are possessed by all. This being so, it is evident that no pressure would be required to be ~lw ~1~4 f lIEWSPAPER p - crz-_17.r1 ,:,,,z,' - ;;', 1, - ; , , ~..e ( ~,«:*4.--4.* : -. h.: ist-Itilt. - 4 , c 0441 4 -4 1 ,47 .._,....., : _ . 7 : : , ,,: f ,-- 6 - ..• ~1 delivered in this department. , departm en t the deliveries still tom ve - -ti Lithougle it. is understood that many s6tels have art:iVed at the. ontports, or are warehoused in dif- Lrent parts of London. nutil the courts aue a little more ready to receive them.

It,S. —we shall have a very large and important collec tion, although the commercial motive to exhibit is weaker than in any other cases. The transport of the specimens has been costly, and few of the exhi bitors can expect any reward except the thanks for having contributed to an instructive and interesting collection. The National Committee for this class drew up a scheme, with the view of suggesting, to some ex tent, the nature-of the object which it was thought desirable should be exhibited in this department of the Exhibition. The committee suggested the desirability of keeping the size of mineral specimens within mode rate limits, as being more convenient peculiari ties for display ana than bet un tera w da iey masses. pltdea for exhibitin g hibitingi This did not of course apply no any remarkable examples, such as sections of lodes, or peculiar and illustrative phenomena. They also recommended that where building stones were exhibited in the form of cubes, the uniform size of eight inches should be preserved, and it was deemed esr,ential that two surfaces of the cube should be left in the natural state—undressed- These and all mineral specimens are to have labels attached, carefully giving the locality from which they were obtained, and, if possible, the geological formation to which they belong. This large and complete collection is to be chiefly placed in the eastern annexe, as a companion to the show of agricultural implements. The court is to be largely fitted up with ornamental marbles. The specimens of gold from Devonshire and Wales will probably be general objects of interest The local subscription to pay for widening. the Brompton road seems to have taken a ready-noney form, for labourers are now heartily working on this very necessary task. The Boulevard is condemned ; the axe is laid to the root of the rotten trees ; the forecourts are being torn up; the local tradespeople look hopeful and cheerful, and in about another fortnight or three weeks the thoroughfares will be widened from the Horse Repository to the Museum bend at least one-half. Nothing definite or official can be - stated about the programme for the opening on the Ist of May, beyond the fact that the band and chorus will be on a gigantic scale, under the direction of Mr. Costa. Mr. Bowley, the general manager of the Crystal Palace, has a share in the direction of the musical arrangements. Mr. Cole, C. 8., we believe, has been put in office to do his best to seat thi'..-ty thousand people within view of the ceremony, and if he falters Mr. Bowley will, no doubt, 1)4 able to help him.—Daily News. 17.71 r ,, -,, t, :,,,,,,41-.--,J I.-, w 'fr4r, k , ../.., ;4:::-!"- 3 4:-4,: - ;•; , .::: a.,ii, i .., 4 , „, ,, : ' , Lsio l. ) AlltiNh t -- ' 7'2 /(2 IX'64IC -s'::k-4., ~:,,r,.;, . . , • .

Ti n y dug riflc-pits in such positions that they could not bo driven from Them by assault witi.eut great loss and it was necessary to proceed, as la - hen attaching regularly fortified places, by undermining. The fences of the palls are so constructed that cannon bails make scarcely any impression on them, end on most attempts to take them by assault the troops have been worsted. It was not until General Pratt conducted the war against the natives on a regular sTstena, and with the aid of heavy guns and shells, that a decided advantage had been gained over the natives, who were at last driven from one fortified psh after another, and were, in March last, compelled to sue for peace. One of the objects Uapt.Pasley had in view was to disprove the charges of mismanagement that have been made in the con duct of the war, by showing that, owing to the great skill and courage of the natives, with their superior means of information, and the small number of troops that could be spared from protecting the settlements of the colonists, the difficulties to be overcome were much greater than generally sup posed, and that many of the plans of operation recommended by the local press would, if adopted, have resulted in disaster. In answer to questions, Captain PaAley stated that he estimated the whole adult native male population at about 30,000, in cluding all the tribes, many of which are hostile to each other, and that the greatest number at any time acting together against the troops was about 2,000. He considered the war was com pletely ended in March last year, when the natives sued for peace, and laid down their arms. The subject will be resumed by Captain Pasley on:the 11th April, as there was not time on Monday night for discussion. THE IN7EBNATIOIV" 4L EXHIBITION. If Captain Fowkes had not been blessed with a very happy temper, the month of March might have seen him driving headlong to a mad-house. He has put together his great building to the best of his ability; and as plain wood, iron, glass, and bricks have refused to look like those delightful pictures of the new palace painted by imaginative artists, he has had to stand as a target for a thousand critical arrows. His conception may or may not have been the result of a distempered dream, in which a cathe dral had somehow got mixed up with a railway station ; but one thing is certain—it was built upon a clearly defined plan, and reached its climax of beauty about the middle of February. Although re markably hollow and incomplete at that date, it was lust possible to see through it and across it; bat since that happy time—that day of joy for the unfortu nate architect—the whole buildinghas gone rapidly backwards. The most energetic exertions are sup posed to be bent upon its completion by the Ist of May ; a man is killed on one day, a boy is crippled for life on another; a great contractor looks on complacently at th© chaos of work, or touts, through his servants, in several languages, for orders for fittings ; clerks of works hurry about with papers, dogged by foremen and labourers ; groups of workmen stand in convivial groups, and take hourly refreshment from overflowing beer cans ; a dozen men congregate round a hole, or a piece of timber, or balance themselves upon swing ing scaffold poles, and act as if six hundred years were allowed them in which to complete the build ing ; hangers of pictures shut themselves up in the galleries (by strict official orders) and do their work in solitude and silence, as if it were a mystery of Isis; sappers and miners seem to spend half their lives in taking instructions from clerks about canister stoves ; exhibitors look in to learn some thing from observation about their space, and shake their heads when they see the rain dripping through the glass from a thousand crevices ; autho rities, who have more respect for stone statues than for the well-advertised reputation of Messrs. Kelk and Lucas, decline to send in heavy works in this order of art until the flooring of the picture gal leries is largely strengthened; clumsy carts come rumbling slowly into the centre of the building with overhanging loads, and the horses shake their harness as they hear the thunder of the falling timber under the eastern dome. All this may be active work, and there may be a thousand, or there may be two thousand working men in the build ing; but every plank that is laid down or raised, every nail that is driven in, certainly puts the structure in a worse position. One half of the southern courts—once pleasingly called the " open or glass courts"—is now boarded off for the great French arena, and in another week this great slice of space will be as private as the inside of a booth at a fair. According to the tradition which we believe is popular in Paris, we thought it was the Englishman who was inclined to fly from society ; and we never recollect hearing it admitted that the Frenchman was at heart an unamiable recluse. International exhibitions, however, are supposed to teach us many lessons in foreign manners and customs; and we must not be asto nished at this revelation of French character. The enclosure of the French industrial court is high, complete, and perfect, and it even goes to the length of having a grand private entrance built between two of the columns at the western end of the nave ; but there are other enclosures, which, though smaller, are more hideous. The north-west transept is now filled in along its centre with three or four large squaro boxes, that look like gigantic packing-cases. These may probably be intended for other foreign courts (we really have not had the heart to hunt out the proper official to inquire), or they may be intended for snug may e o b m e m ca is r s r i i o e n d er o s n . large orders may be taken away l f i r t o t m le o th ffi e ce e s r , ow w d h , e o re r the w in i t t e h r o n u a t tio t n h a e l t k b n im o w b -g/ I c ed g ri e ggi o tn Other structures of the same hideous kind seem to be threatened in different parts, to judge by the timber preparations, and even now the day has passed when it was possible to get a good perspec tive view of the building. There must be a weighty official reason for allow log these industrial pens to be erected, and pro bably the public would like to know it. If it is true that the engineers in charge of the building will not allow even a high.art door-mat to be hung from the galleries—if it is true that those tolerably graceful airways are built more for show than for substantial use, then we can have nothing more to say about this unseemly boarang. Vertical space must be had in other places as well as against the outer brick walls ; and if this necessity has not been provided for by the architect and contractors, the oversight only matches that carelessness which for got to make proper doorways to the building. The painting is not yet finished in the western dome, and therefore the huge scaffolding—a forest of timber—looking at a di s t a nce like fine lace work, is still standing. This wooden w eb is made of about 40,000 cubic feet of timber, and is reall y such a wonderful example of human labour and ingenuity that it would not disgrace the commis sionersfthe exhibition. The eastern annexe, if it were to stand as part o 35,000 bquare feet of open-air space is to be left, is still in a very was the last extension o f backward condition. It w here about the building decided upon by the commissioners; hut that is no reason w hy little or no e xert i ons should be made to finish it. Labour is plentiful enough at fair market rates, and the building is l arge work scattered enough, enoug h and the to employ a much larger number of men than those now put contractors. No bickeri-o• • 90 by the -J o with the com missioners, no complaints about official delays lead ing to extra cost and uncertainty, will absolve the contractors from their obvious duty to the exhibitors an d public. If they regarded the commissioners more as masters and less as tenants-at- will, it might perhaps lead to a happier and more business-like state of progress in the building. The arrivals of British goods have now reached more than a hundred cases; and many fittings of orious:fiegreeo of beauty and size have been POLAND. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) WARSAW, Alaneer 13, 1862. The tranquility which reigns among the people in this city, much to the annoyance of the Govern ment, has been a little disturbed by the announce ment of an act of clemency, published in a supple ment to the official Gazette, Dziennok Powszeoliny. The occasion for this display of Imperial magnani mity was the anniversary of the accession to the throne of Alexander IL, which fell on the 3a inst., but the celebration of it had been postponed for Sunday, the 9th, in order that a more numerous assembly could be gathered in the Cathedral, where the "Te Deum" for the Czar was to be sung. Dur ing the whole week prior to the ceremony the authorities circulated reports on the forthcoming amnesty, the raising of the siege, and they issued an order to all the public functionaries to attend at the Cathedral, adding "that the greatest possible% importance is attached to this injunction." A cera tarn success has crowned this manoeuvre, for many of the officials arrived fully persuaded that at last some mitigation in the actual state of this unheard of tyranny should be proclaimed. But what was their disappointment when the list of the victims whose punishment was partly diminished had been_ read. They soon discovered that the Church was swelled for the sole purpose of showing the Emperor that vast numbers of the population rushed to the Cathedral to hear the Te Deum sung, and to participate in this so-called joyful event. In fact, out of thousands of persons arrested and transported to Siberia, only 74, according to the official journal, have had their sentences commuted; and even in this small number figure several per sons who had been at large before the list came out. For instance, the Rev. Canon Witman, of the diocese of Warsaw, having undergone his arrest, and been liberated from the fortress on the 7th, was still included in the list as pardoned by hie, Majesty. Mr. Alexander Wambach, thepropriet or of the Hotel of Europe, one of the largest and finest establishments of that kind, was, to his great sur prise, informed, on the Bth inst., that he had been condemned to one month's imprisonment in the for tress without any previous notice or trial, and that he must keep himself in readiness for the journey.
