FOOD RIOTS IN SCOTLAND. GRANTOWN, STRATHSPEY.— This peaceable village presented on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday last a scene of tumult and disturbance of a very unusual nature. For some time back great qu antities ofe oger!sin and meal were carried away from t he district to Lha bee and elsewhere, and food wa s considerably raised in priee, particularly meal. Latterly , the Grantown wnmeal dealers refuse to sell small por tions to the villagers, as it was more convenient for them to dispose of their stock wholsate. On the days mentioned, or the preceding day, several Lochaber dealers, carters, &c~ their appearance , and it having been rumoured that they had threatened, if they did not get meal (for which they were willing to give a high price), they would, as in days of yore , ta ke the same b y force ; this bravado, added to the fact that the meal dealers had refused to accommodate the poor and tradesmen with small quan tities, so incensed the populace, that a meeting of the inhabitants was convened by tuck of drum, to consider what steps should be taken. About seven o'clock 2.31,, several hundreds congregated en the village square, from whence they proceeded to the lodging place of the Lochaber men, and carried off the carts, eight in number, to the square. They then called again on the parties, for the purpose of getting them to agree to go -home without meal, but could not see or gain access to them ; and, we regret to state that, in conse quence of this, the carts were unwheeled and tossed about—one of the wheels being found next day in the river Spey, about a mile's distance from the town. The populace having ascertained that the Lochaber men were determined to carry off loads with them, though not to such an extent as they contemplated at first, congregated on Thursday night about the same hour, for the purpose of driving them away without meal. The district officer of police and a special constable having taken a prisoner, the mob rescued him, and a scuffle ensued, in the course of which both the officials were struck to the effusion of their blood. Sheriff Colquhoun and Mr. Mackay, Procurator Fiscal, proceeded to Grantown, to take a precognition of the case. Mr. Macbean, superintendent of police, with one or two constables, also went thither. In the course of the examination on Monday, seven apprehensions took place; but when the prisoners were about to be driven off to Inverness, a mob deforced the authorities and rescued their townsmen. A messen ger was instantly despatched, who arrived in Inverness at two o'clock on Tuesday morning, and immediately again set out on his return, with an additional officer, sand from 40 to 50 batons. In the meantime, 60 special 'constables were sworn in at Grantown, who were to as semble at ten o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) forenoon, and apprehend the rioters, as well as preserve the peace. — Inverness Courier. ELGIN, JAN. 29.—The present enormously high prices of provisions, chiefly meal, with a riotous disposition in several districts of the counties of Aberdeen and Banff, have been marked by several symptoms in this country. The extensive exportation of oats and oatmeal has crea ted considerable excitement in the minds of the working classes regarding the quantity of meal for consumpt. Immediately on receiving information of it, Mr. Sheriff Cameron issued circulars for a meeting of the corn mer chants and principal farmers to be held in the Court House to-day (Friday), it having been suggested, that if an assurance could be given on the authority of the corn growers of the county not selling more of their . present oat orop for exportation, and only for home consumption, whereby the working classes could be as sured that a sufficient quantity of oats would be retained in the county for their support till next harvest, it would go far to allay their present alarm. This was regarded by the community as a judicious proceeding, and apprehensions of scarcity seemed to be removed, but 'the outcry still continued against the high price. On Tuesday evening, the younger portion of the town paraded the streets, and afterwards did some damage to the residenca of a gentleman extensively concerned in the grain trade. Disaffection also prevailing amongst the people at the, shipping ports of Burghead and Gar mouth, the exportation of meal having been prevented, a warning proclamation by the Sheriff and Magis trates was issued on Wednesday morning in the dis turbed districts, and stating, that measures were taking for a sufficient supply of corn for food for the inhabit ants. In order, also, to remove from the minds of the fishermen of Burghead the apprehension of scarcity and of high prices, the principal inhabitants, at the beginning of the week, gave assurance of plenty. This had the effect of temporarily lulling the dissatisfaction of the people ; but this state of matters did not long continue. On Tuesday, the Ceres, Captain Mason, being freighted with a cargo of meal for Leith, a number of women and children congregated at the harbour, and succeeded in re-landing th e commo dity. In the scuffle two bolls were destroyed and carried away, the remainder were lodged in the storehouse. On Tuesday, Sheriff Cameron, the Procurator Fiscal, and Mr. Hay of the police, with some difficulty succeeded in shipping a quantity of meal. On Wednesday the proprietor of Burghead visited the port, and got the inhabitants to assist in getting the vessels abuit to sail ready for sea, and the greatest order prevailed till the arrival of a large party of fisher men from Hopeman, who roused many of the women in Burghead, who took a quantity of meal from one vessel, and lodged it in a granary, and prevented another from receiving grain. The Sheriff of the county, and about 70 special constables, subsequently endeavoured to suppress the tumult, but without effect. We are assured, on good authority, that not one man belonging to Burghead took any active part in the riot of Wednesday, although there is no doubt they sympathised with those who did so. On Thursday all was quiet at Burghead. Similar dis turbances have taken place at Fochabers, Garmouth, and other towns on the coast. A large body of special con stables were sworn in here on Wednesday morning; and yesterday a detachment of military arrived from Fort George, and are now stationed in the town. Hitherto the destruction of property in this town and neighbourhood has been trifling, but great excitement prevails. LOSSIEMOITTIL —A public meeting of the inhabitants of Lossiemouth, Stotfield, and Branderburgh, was held in the Secession Church, Elgin, on Tuesday last. From six hundred to seven hundred were present, Mr. Robert Brander, shipping agent, was called to the chair. After some preliminary discussion, the following reso lution was proposed and unanimously agreed to:— " That Messrs. William Scott, A. Sutter, James Stewart, and John Henderson, be appointed as a deputation from this meeting, to meet a committee of the trades of Elgin, velehsthervievs ofegettingserjoiatseommitteeeto-ealt e nn. 3irogsite.

The meeting having thereafter communicated to Mr. W. Stephen tVe above resolution, requested him to state whether he was prepared to act on it ; and Mr. Stephen having cordially concurred in its suggestion, a vote of thanks was tendered for thus ;agreeing to the request of the meeting. 1,0991E31011TH, JAN. 28.—A correspondent writes us, of this date—" The object of the meeting ou Tuesday not being generally known, very little attention was paid to it ; and to-day, when a number of carts arrived with oats, they were surrounded by women and boys ; but instead of sending them out of the town, as was the case at some of the adjoining ports, the women qnietly accompanied the carts to the corn-factor's granary, and after seeing the grain safely deposited there, they (the women) locked the door and kept possession of the key; and in place of insulting the men, or injuring the horses, they offered the lads a hearty dram, and ex pressed a wish that all the oats in the country were sent to Lossiemouth." FORRES, TEURSDAY.—The moment the authorities of Purees saw the military pass through the town on their way to Flgin to allay the riots, they began to bestir themselves, and a meeting of councillors was immedi ately held in the council room. It was resolved that a subscription should be instantly raised to purchase a few hundred bolls of meal, to be disposed of at a low figure to all needy persons, and to the families of labourers; in order to prevent a meditated riot and attack en seine of the most niggardly meal dealers and farmers. A subscription paper was immediately pre sented to the inhabitants, headed by the town of Forres for 201. In course of a f ew h ours th e sum su b scr ib e d , was nearli 1001. Except the munificent collection made by the F ree Church, nothing has yet been done i n I Forres for the destitute highlanders.—Elgin C our ier. KEITH, JAN. 28.—About nine o'clock last night, our quiet town was thrown into a state of considerable ex citement by the arrival of a company of soldiers, num bering about 60, upon three stage coaches, on their way from Aberdeen to Port Gordon. It is reported that on Tuesday afternoon the meal riots at Buckie and Port Gordon had become so serious, that Sheriff Currie sent an express to Aberdeen for the assistance of the military to quell these riots, which explains the reason of their coming to this hitherto peaceful district. It is earnestly to be hoped they will have a bootless errand on this oc• • casion, and that all will be quiet in the adjoining sea ports, so as to render the presence of the military unne cessary. The inhabitants of this district consider their absence to be good company. - 14s.rr IN STRA NE A ER.—On Monday evening some - idle, dissolute, and unthinking persons created a dis turbance in Stranraer, and attempted, successfully in soma cases, to coerce and intimidate several of the meal and provision dealers. At the shop of Mr. Espie they demanded meal at two Shillings and sixpence pers esne, and on being refused uttered threats and committed some violence. At the shop of Mr. James Bell they suc• seeded, by threats, in getting three bolls delivered , them, at their own price, two shillings and sixpence per stone. At the quay they stopped a cart of carrots, :save of which they took away ; and they also stole 6 'retsil loaves from a person who was carry • tug them from the steamer, and who had preeeeed the bread to be retailed at as low a rate as i" si bl• The authorities promptly attended on being informed of thes e out muchwdaisf fi hceulldtyo,:utrages, and the rioters were, with dtiilspersed. Next day, Tuesday, a meeting p.p e Town Council, when the magis trates,',"Slr.

Several men, women, a n d b oys, are y now in custody, on the charge of rioting and theft. Galloway Advertiser. SHEEP STEALING EXTRAORDINARY.—On Saturday last, three privates of the 76th Regiment, natives of England, stationed at Greenlaw Barracks, were apprehended by Con stable Merrylees, of the county police, and conveyed to Edin burgh, on a charge of stealing a sheep from a field in the neighbourhood, a few nights previous. They were on guard at the time, and it appears that their object was to enjoy a feast of Scotch mutton ; for after skinning the sheep they dressed part of it, and had recently been regaling them selves on a choice bit when they were apprehended. They have sinoe been examined, and committed for trial.—Glasgow /Jerald. BANK RETURNS. (From the London Gazette.)

(From the London New Price Current of February 2.) SUGAR.—To-day the quantity of Colonial Sugar brought forward being large, and exceeding the wants of the trade, a further decline in prices took place, as merchants were willing to sell, REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods were purchased with much caution by the home trade, although further reduced rates were submitted to—brown grocery lumps selling at 66s 6d to 675, and Standard Lumps 67s 6d to 68s per cwt. MAUBMUS.—This afternoon there was little demand for Mauritius Sugar; and 5,846 bags,at public sale were nearly all taken in at easier rates. (Before Mr. Justice CRBSWELL and Mr. Justice WlcarrmAii.) James Price, a letter-carrier, pleaded guilty to having stolen eighteenpence out of a letter. Sentence upon him also was deferred.

Mr. Payne was instructed for the prosecution ; Mr. Clark son and Mr. Ballantine defended Dr. Lovell, and Mr. Bodkin with sir. Meller, appeared for the female defendant. This case arose out of the hydropathic system of cure, and it appeared to excite a good deal of interest. The grand jury ignored the bill that was presented to them, but it was necessary to dispose of the coroner's inquisition. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL (addressing Mr. Payne) said lie had locked over the depositions, and he should be glad to know whether there was any further evidence as to the cause of death than that which was given before the coroner's jury, and upon which the grand jury had ignored the bill. 12,231 EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little desire evinced to operate in Madras Sugar at the public sales, w hi c h comprised 1,603 bags, and the whoie was taken in and withdrawn—good damp foxey brown at 425, and mid 41s. Bengal met with little attention ; an d 3,7Bobags at public sale only partly sold upon rather lower terms. FOREIGN.—The demand has fallen off considerably for all descriptions of Foreign Sugar for home consumption. The limited business transacted has been at a reduction on former rates of 6d to 13 for white, and is to 13 6d for brown and yellow. Tir.a.—The arrivals amounted to 12,000 packages at this port during the past week, and duty was paid on 496,890 113 S during that time. Importers have displayed firmness, and refrained from offering any at public sale. This in some measure is to be attributed to the advices from China stating that the shipments had fallen off to the extant of 7,000,000 ibs, as compared with the former season. The lower qualities of Congou are held for the former value. In Pouchong several purchases have been made, and 5d to 9d paid for low to fine quality. For the inferior sorts of green the market has a dull appearance. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was a lively demand for Plantation Ceylon, and 990 bags at public sale were sold at stiff rates. In Native several purchases were made privately at 43s for good ordinary. Foreign Coffee met with attention; at public sale 71 barrels washed Rio sold at firm rates. Mor.assEs.—The market has a dull appearance for all descriptions of West India, and prices are on the decline, as the supply is on the increase, and 23s to 28s is the value of common tine quality. Bengal Treacle can be obtained upon lower terms; still little inquiry existed privately. 24 butts and 16 hhds at auction sold at 23s 6d. RICE.—To-day the market bad a dull appearance for all sorts of Rice; 606 bags 795 pockets Bengal were offered at public sale—the sound was taken in at 25s for middling, and at 25s to 25s 6d for good middling white, being barely the former value.

He said there was no intention to impute any want of kindness or pro per attention to Dr. Lovell, but it was suggested that, being an ardent admirer of the hydropathic system, he had rashly applied it to the deceased, and so caused her death, and he apprehended that if he should make out this fact to the satis faction of the jury, it would amount to the crime of man slaughter. Mr. Jacob Asbury, the surgeon who made a post nzortem examination of the deceased, was examined. He said he ob served the appearance of the cutaneous disease called scales tetanus, or leprosy. There was inflammation of the pia mater, and the vessels of the brain were very much congested, and those appearances accounted for the death of the deceased. He considered the application of wet cloths and cold to the surface of the body would be calculated to produce the ap pearances that he observed, but he would not undertake to say that they might not be produced by other and natural causes. 38,408 Sittingbourne and Milton Bank, Sittingbourne —Valiance and Son Southampton Town and County Bank, South ampton—Maddison and Son 17,720 Southwell Bank, Southwell—Wylde and Co.

Srnirrs.— The high prices that prevail for Jamaica Rum operates against business:in all descriptions : only small pur chaser have been made by exporters or the home trade. Leeward Island is held for the stiff rate of 4s per gallon, proof strength, but little business has been transacted. For East India the demand is limited, owing to 3.310 d being insisted upon for proof with certificate. Of Demerara a fair quantity has been disposed of at 5s 2d to 5544 for 33 to 36 per cent over proof. Brandy has not risen in value, but a good demand prevailed for all descriptions for home consumption, and exporters have taken a fair quantity.

By Mr. Justice CaEsswELL—There was a natural tendency in the human system to transfer disease from the skin to the internal parts of the body, and that might have been the case in the present instance, entirely independent of the applica tion of the wet cloths. Mr. PAYNE said he would not carry the evidence any further. Mr. Justice CRESSWELL, addressing the jury, said it was the law that no person could be found guilty of a drime un less he was proved to have committed it. In this case a scientific man, who was the only witness that could be called, told them he could not prove it, and therefore it was their duty to acquit the accused parties. The jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty, and the Court ordered the defendants to be at once dis charged. Miles Phillips, 59, waterman, was charged with the man slaughter of Sarah Phillips. Mr. Bodkin prosecuted. It appeared that the parties were man and wife, and, ac cording to the testimony of witnesses residing in the same house with them, the prisoner was in the constant habit of ill-using the 'unfortunate deceased. On the day named in The indictment the prisoner was 'heard to threaten his wife with violence, and she shortly afterwards complained that he had kicked her. She went to the house of a neighbour, where she was taken very ill, and died soon afterwards ; and upon a post mortem examination it was found she had re ceived a severe injury upon the stomach, apparently the effect of a blow or kick, and which was no doubt the cause of her death. 12,493 Thornbury Bank, Thornbury—Rolph, Yates, and Parslow Tiverton and Devonshire Bank, Tiverton—Duns ford and Barne Thrapston and Kettering Bank, Northampton shire, Thrapston—Yorke and Eland 11,513 Tring Bank and Chesham Bank, Tring—But cher and Son Towcester Old Bank, Towcester—J. and S Percival Union Bank, Cornwall, Helston—Vivian and Co Uxbridge Old Bank, Uxbridge—Hull, Smith, and Co. 25,957 Wallingford Bank, Wallingford—Wells and Co. 10,577 Warwick and Warwickshire Bank, Warwick— Kelynge, Greenway, and Co.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, MANSION-HOUSE. ROBBERY OF DIAMONDS.—A man named Robert Kerr, captain of the barque Levenside, was brought before Alderman Johnson, in the custody of John Forrester, the Mansion-house officer, charged with having stolen two parcels of diamonds, of the value of 3,3001., which were intrusted to him to convey to the port of London from Baca. The prisoner had left bis vessel and come ashore in a boat with the diamonds, and as soon as the persons to whom they were consigned learned that the captain had disappeared with them, a warrant was put into the hands of John and Daniel Forrester, who after having traced him from place to pl ace with extraordinary skill and activity, at last pounced upon him in France, and hurried him away to London with great expedition, having found upon him about .3001., some of which was in Bank of England notes, which had been paid in the Commercial Bank for a cheque drawn for the amount. of a portion of the diamonds. Mr. Peachey, from the house of Messrs. Olivarson, Levi% and Co,. - of the Old Jewry, appeared for the pro. - secution, but did not enter into the details, John For rester having only just arrived with the prisoner, and no opportunity having presented itself as yet for col lecting the materials on which the warrant was founded. He stated that the prisoner had arrived near Folkstone in the barque of which be was the commander, on the the 20th of January, and that he got into - a boat and landed, with the diamonds, at Folkstone, from which place he started for London, where he arrived on the next day ; that he went to a public-house, in an obscure part of the metropolis, near the London Docks, and was introduced by the publican to a Jew, who introduced him to another Jew, and that they repaired to the offices of an extensive diamond merchant, or agent who purchased some of the jewels for 1,7504, for which amount he handed over a cheque to one of the customers upon the Coa r rerlßavk.

Mr. John &Milian, part owner of the barque Leven side, of, Greenock, stated that Robert Kerr, the pri soner, was the master of that vessel. From information which the witness had received, he had reason to believe that the prisoner had received certain diamonds to convey to this country. The prisoner's receipts for two packages of diamonds were upon the bills of lading, and it was the duty of the captain to bring them to the port of London. The value, as appeared from the bills of lading, was 3,3001. e The vessel had been reported in the port of London, and witness had seen the manifest, in which the diamonds had not been referred to. One of the parcels was consigned to Messrs. Costello and Co., and the other to Messrs. Schroider and Co. Mr. F. Costello, of the firm of Costello and Co., of No. 10, Bur court, St. Mary A xe , stated that the firm had received the bill of lading, but not the diamonds. The prisoner, on being asked whether he wished to say anything, replied, " I wish to have a solicitor ; I have no objection to be remanded." He was accordingly remanded until Tuesday next. The prisoner, it was stated in the justice- room, was plundered of almost all the money he possessed himself of by the robbery before he quitted town with the ex ception of that which John Forrester took from him, and forty guineas, the price which he gave for a gold watch on selling the diamonds. ATTEMPTS TO SWINDLE COUNTRY GENTLEMEN AND CLERGYMEN.—A young man named Francis. - Bennet was charged with having attempted to defraud the Rev.

It was proposed to construct aaqueduct i n n parish of St. George, Hanover-square, near Skew bridge, on the King's Scholar's Pond sewer, in the Vauxhall -bridge-road, end terminating at or near the Broadway in Hammersmith, together with the neces sary works by which the aqueduct or conduit would pass through the parishes of St. Luke, Chelsea, St. Mary Abbot's, Kensington, through Fulham and Ham mersmith. The tunnel here proposed was stated by their engineer to be preferable to iron, and would re move the opposition that existed to the erection of steam works in the metropolis. The direction of the works was mo st judicious, as it passed through dis tricts where there was a number of market-gardens. The report further stated that the engineers and solicito . r of the company had promised, in the event of the pre sent Bill not passing through Parliament, that they would not demand anything for their services. There were no competing schemes before Parliament, and public opi nion was greatly in favour of the undertaking of the company. The SECRETARY then read the draft of the Bill, which stated that 30,0001. was the sum intended to be applied to the construction of the works. Mr. NASON, in moving the adoption of the proposed amendment, said that as some of the gentlemen pre sent had not attended the former meeting, and there fore bad not the advantages of hearing the statements then made, he trusted that some gentlemen competent to de so, would state the advantages that would result from the alteration in the works. On the chief points raised by the report he might mention that the impression left upon his mind at the former meeting was most satisfactory. With respect to one point , name l y , as to the increase in the expenditure of 6,000/, it was extremely small in comparison with the advantages it would produce. He had a right to inform the meeting that he had received a letter yesterday from Mr. Martin, the original projector of this company, which he would take the liberty to read to the meeting. There certainly was nothing in that letter to change the opinions .he had already - expressed, and he was sorry that theobjections in that letter, had not been made before. (The speaker here read the letter, which deprecated the proposed alterations, on account of the expense and the departure from the original plan, which, he contended, would be fatal to the interests of the company.) He did not agree with the statement of Mr. Martin with regard to the expense, for the reasons he had already stated, and the departure from their origi nal plan could not be injurious to them with Parliament or the public. He would conclude by moving that the Bill then read be approved, of, and that the directors of the com p a n y should be authorised to take the necessary steps to carry the Bill through its different stages in Parliament. . .

Suspecting that a trick was intended the witness went with the son of the clergyman to No. 22, St. Martin's-le- Grand, which they found to be a coffee-shop, the owner of which knew nothing at all of the party by whom the note professed to be addressed, and most readily volun teered to bring the schemer to justice. Between twelve and one yesterday morning, the time at which the writer of the letter intimated that he should arrive at the house to receive the money, the witness, a policeman. and a boy who had, for the occasion, a pound of marked money in his pocket, went to the office, and sat apart from each other. Presently the prisoner en tered, and stated, in answer to questions from the boy, that he was the person who wrote the letter, and that he had the case of wine, which he believed to be cham pagne. The money was then given to him, and he pocketed it, and, upon giving his receipt for the amount, signed George Williams, was taken into custody. There was no such wharf in London as James and Henry's Wharf, which the prisoner said, in his conversation with the boy, was at Wapping. The prisoner stated subse quently that he committed the offence because he was much distressed. The prisoner—l have nothing to say but that I con fess I have done what I am charged with, and you may as well commit me for trial. Alderman JOHNSON intimated to the prisoner that he should be committed for trial as soon as the depositions were made out. Another clergyman in the neighbourhood has, it was stated, received a similar letter, and it is apprehended that the manoeuvre has been very successful. ampton . ........ 23,107 North and South Wales Bank, Liverp001......, 54,382 Pares's Leicost( rshire Banking Company, 14i caster Saddleworth Banking Company, Saddleworth 2,575 Sheffield Banking Company, Sheffield 36,748 Stamford, Spalding, and Boston Banking Com pany, Stamford 52,683 Stuckey's Banking Company, Bristol Somerset shire Bank, and Somersetshire Bank, Lang- port Shropshire Banking Company, Shiffnall Stourbridge and Kidderminster Banking Coin pany, Stourbridge Sheffield and liallamshire Banking Company, Sheffield .

We, inhabitants of the town and territory of the little republic of Cracow, being enable to resist force or to es tablish our just rights, are reduced to the necessity of resorting to the stratagem of anonyinous writing in order to communicate to the world our protest, and to make known the truth, so atrociously perverted by the When having power in their hands, need not employ calumny and falsehood against the victim whom, after long tor ments, they have finally sacrificed. We consider it the more our duty now to protest. inasmuch as our feeble state is exposed to the same intrigues, the same perfidies, the same wicked drama which was performed at the, downfall of our great country in 1773, 1793, and 1795. We shall confine - within the inmost recesses of our hearts the expression of the sentiments which pervade us—a mere exposition of facts will be most eloquent. For some years past our independence has been, in fact, completely destroyed ; our president, the Ale 6 Schindler, was an officer in the employment of Austria, so also was the Chief of the Police; the head of our clergy, the Alibi Letowshke is appointed by Russia, and to that Government he is entirely devoted. The - soldiers of our militia are all obtained from the Austrian army, and the officers are all German, selected from the troops of the three Governments called our " Protecting Powers." We have a Dictator, who, though keeping in the shade, is nevertheless the more powerful and active. He is the Austrian President, who concen trates all the authority in himself. Such is the rigour of the police and of the censorship of our protectors, that not only in Gallicia and the kingdom of Poland properly so called, but even in our unhappy provinces of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia ' and the Ukraine, travelling and printing are more free than in our republic. Our political existence ' was strictly re duced to the liberty of commerce, to the privilege of coining money, to exemption from recruiting, and to the use of our language in .the acts of the Government, as well as in the schools and in the university. Enthralled as we have been, how can we have merited the charges set forth against us in the manislesto published on the day of our incorporation with Austria, and in articles in the German journals preceding and follovring that incorporation. It is false that our city ever was a focus of revolution, and that arms and warlike ammunition have been collected there. It is also false that it has been a place of meeting forethe emissa ries of ,any propaganda whatever, as our pre t en d e d pro tectors allege. A s to the part taken by this little State in the attempted insurrection in February lase, the fol lowing is a recapitulation of the facts : A part of the Polish emigration--its least numerous portion, the least prudent and the least patriotic, but that portion which had always been the most busy and violent--wished at all risks to organise an insurrection in Poland in the course of the year 1846. The par tisans of this movement unfortunately succeeds d in drawing into their scheme a considerable number of the inhabitants of the Grand Duchy of Posen, and some of Gallicia. The Russian Government speedily became acquainted with this conspiracy, and resolved to make it serve its own purposes. Russia immediately sent to Cracow an exciting ageut, Edward Dombrouski, a man of great energy and activity, and one well calculated to give extension to the conspi racy, and to organise it in the most demagogic style. His energy and-skill had more success in Gallicia than with us, where he was only able to seduce a small number of individuals. The Austriane Government, though perfectly aware of the proceedings of the con spirators, took care not to disturb them ; it seemed, on the contrary, to wish that the conspiracy should not be defeated before it reached maturity. What could be the motive of this? What was the motive of Russia? This time will some day disclose. At length, on the 18th of February, the first movement for carrying the plot into effect was made' near Tarnow, in Geilicia. Cracow was perfectly tranquil. But this tranquillity was not of long duration ; for the Austrian General o . ollin . immediately arrivedeand took possession of the city. He entered at the head of two battaliOns of infantry, three squadrons of light horse, and three pieces of artillery ;' and, to his own force, he joined our militia, amounting to. about 500 men. The inhabitants received notice that they. were not to quit their houses ; that doors and windows were to be kept closed ; that the patroles were ordered to fire on any one who might come out at a door or look out at a window; and that all the windows were to be lighted throughout the night. This last was an effectual precaution for preventing the inha bitants from moving about, or peeping furtively into the streets. Two men and three women, who were impelled by hunger t o ven t ure out i n quest of food, were killed by musket shots. During the sight some pia-, toons were firing on the Grand-square, and in the ad joining streets. This firing was returned by a party of police spies and some Jews, posted in a place of conceal ment. A tavern-keeper, named Wogt, and some per sons who were in his house, being deceived by this trick, fired from the windows some musket-shut on the mili tary, several of whom were killed and wounded. A farmer of the environs of Cracow, named Bela, also thought the combat a real one, and, followed by his farm servant, rushed out and attacked a post of light cavalry, killing one of the soldiers and dispersing the rest. He then dismounted from his horse, to collect the arms of the fugitives, and whilst thus engaged he was himself killed by some infantry, who at that moment arrived, These two men (th e f armer an d hi s servant) were the only enemies whom General Collin had to encounter in the streets of Cracow. Nevertheless the repeated firing, of the platoons was leept up, and the old wails of our city were shaken by -discharges of cannon. On the night succeeding the third day after his entry, the Ge neral furtively quitted the city, and proceeded to Pod gout', having caused the resident ministers of the Three Powers and the principal member of our Government to precede his arrival thither. He took away with him all our militia, without leaving a man to guard the pri sons. Thanks to the precautions which had. been adopted, two hours elapsed before any one dared venture into the street, and consequently: before there could be any certain knowledge of the retreat of the Austrians. Never was astonishment equal to ours when we found that the Austrians had fled, that no one was in pursuit of them, and that we were left without either govern ment or militia. But astonishment was doubled when in the guard-houses of the Grand-square, and in the Dominican church, arms and ammunition were disco vered which had been left behind by the Austrians. leinwaiteg e ollin had retired t o P o d gorza , a su b ur b o f ritetweViibject to Austria, and which the Vistila.(Ferj„ ~....eseeer jk„ q ernerteeweifiettarteptittrenefilllfte ro e n ue, . . lily *humane/tad:6a litetketilBerePAW way; a t e)ut a 1 prieielr neeekee 4 eetTeWiipfingir e lle§ At 404441446 ' 'paisagi of tiladinre btlitt;s,'aiia *A is is entirely removed on the occurrence of great swells of the river. Some of the populace having made sure of the retreat of the Aus trians, took advantage of the darkness of the night to remove some of the boats which support the -bridge, so as to cut off all communication. General Collin fired upon these people, though it was evident that they had no intention of passing the bridge for any hostile pur- Pose. Next morning the General give the order' for re tiring, ant though there was not the shadow of an enemy, either before or behind him, yet he did not- halt until he arrived at Wadowice, the chief town of the cir cle of that name, situated about 14 leagues from Cracow, on the road to Vienna. At Cracow, meanwhile, the first interval of stupor being passed, measures were taken for the maintenance of order and public safety. A pro visional guard was formed and placed under the com mand of Count Joseph Wodziski, a veteran of 72 years of age, whose Conservative opinions admitted of no question, for the Count never took any part in any of the revolutions which agitated his country during his long, life: ' Suddenly a party of young men were observed going about from house to house, announcing that the nation had formed a government, and had placed at its head a man named Tyssowski, an obscure individual, totally unknown in Cracow, where he had been only for the space of a fortnight, and then for the first time in his life. This man had always lived either at Lemberg or at Vienna ; and no one knew by what means he had_ been elevated in the space of a few hours to the head of of the government. Be that as it may, the public were, at one and the same time, made acquainted with the cre ation of a dictatorship and the name of the dictator. An army of from 300 to 400 men was hastily assembled, and with part of this force it was determined to make a reconnoissance in Gallicia. The bridge was crossed, and at Podgorza some ammunition.was found which had been left behind by General Collie. At Wialiezka some provisions were found. Some leagues further on, at the village of Godow, on the road to Lember, the advance guard of the little army of Cracow was unexpectedly attacked by Colonel Benedlk, the- eel, r of the staff of the general in command of Gallicia. The colonel was at the head of a party of infantry and cavalry, followed by a troop of drunken peasants, blind instruments of murder' and pillage, misled, excited, and paid by the Austrian authorities. After a brief resistance, the Cra covians retired in hurried disorder to Cracow, leaving behind them twenty or thirty killed, and upwards of eighty prisoners, whom the soldiers and peasants of Col. Benedik coolly murdered in the most barbarous manner in front of the inn at Godow, during a brandy-drinking orgie. Colonel Benedik and General .Collin then marched back to Podgorza, where, after the lapse of a few days, the General, hearing of the approach of the Russians, and losing all hope that the peasantry and the populace of Cracow and its territory would imitate the atrocious excesses of the peasantry of the circles of Tar now and Bothnia, resolved on entering Cracow. It is but just to render a tribute of commendation to our people, inhabitants of the town as well as of. the country pl ac es ; Though instigated. by incendiary speeches, and the example of their neighbours, though -completely left to theinselves, they were not guilty of 'the slightest ex cess. In their march into Gallicia our volunteers ob served the strictest moderation, not only to their coiin tryinen; but also towards the Germans, and even towards the officers of the Austrian Government. Person and property were everywhere respected ; General Collin, less scrupolous, promised his soldiers a day of liberty, as he called it, that is to say, a day devoted to the sacking and destruction of Cra cow. But God had pity on us, and averted the commis sion of this hideous crime. The Russians, who were not expected to arrive before three days, marched with a de gree of speed which outstripped all calculations, and their light cavalry entered Cracow several hours before the Austrians. They were received as' deliverers, and such they really were ; for General Collin, wishing to attract numbers to the city, had spread the report that it was to be given up to pillage. The arrival of the Russians has established order, rendered all pretext of taking by assault, and consequent plunder, absurd. This com pletely defeated the projects of General Collin,' who now commands, as 'he before did, his troops at Wadowice, where he has received the approbation of, and has also been well paid by, his Goirernment. The rest of our hit tory is Well known. The above is a true narrative ,of the conspiracies of our protectors against their unfortu nate protege. Alarmed by the phantom of Polish liberty, Austria thought she could escape from her terror and remorse by annihilating at a ' s i ng l e blow what she re gards as a living' repr 'nob 'of her sin against ,l'oland— nametk, the rn,r4 . ;!'' , li , rnTsl'Vr, wP~l t i tppattiots in Gailicia.
