POLAND.—A end incident of the Polish war is told by
Mr. Sutherland Ed wards, the Polish special correspondent
of the Tanta Padlewski, a young Pole, 27 years old,
and one of the insurgent chiefs, was captured by the
Russian troops. He was told that his life would be
soered if he would persuade his countrymen to lay dowa
their arms. Hit replied that be had no power to do

He was then condemned to diet. His sentence was

was sent forward to despatch him, and almost before his

AMEILICA.—The news by the City of Baltimore from
America, though fall of interest, leaves us still In the
dark with respect to the fate of Vickeburg. Mr.
Fuller, manager of the tekeratils at Memphis, in • dee-
..tch dated gay 84, which ham already been published
1. ciii. noontr3', said: "The stars and stripes float over
Vicksbure, and the victory is complete." This was
simply • bite( Munchauerniam. The City of Baltimore
brings tis intelligence to the 10th, and at that period
the New York public were still in ignorance of the real
state of affairs at the beleagured city. It 1•1114 however,
outdo that it bad not been taken by General Gnat.
The latter, it is said, had takes all the redoubts out-
bids the city, bat in iicing so his army was confessedly
terribly cut up. Ail that engineering esteem and the
✓em:torero of the Confederates °paid accomplish in
strengthening the place has, no doubt, been done, and
the taking"( the outworks would only be the commence-
mei t the orzt draggle. We have seen, in the case
of Piaebla (with troops better handled than the Federal,
are, or Grant is • much better general than the majority
of his brothers), tow much have to be done after out-
works have been captured to take • city from the hands
of • gallant garrison. Great, it is said. indeed, had
come to the conclusion that to take Vicksburg by 'gush
eau • military impoenibility, and be had opened a
terrible and sustained lire upon the place with his
artillery. A Richmond paper says theta.. attack upon
the city can nowhere be made with a force equal to the
=, and that on no side can any more than 8,000
podia line for an assault The thunder of the
ground renders the approaches to the plus difficult,
and the heat and local malaria make the siege one of
the most murderout on record. If Vicksburg falls, says
the journal to which we have referred, it can only be
attributed to treachery or cowardice, and neither
of three qualities lies hitherto been shown by the
soldiers of the South. Crest dissatisfaction had been
expressed in the Soeth with reference to the military
operations of Pemberton against Great, sod it was said
that Johnstone bed taken Pemberton's sword from him
and placed him under arrest. A body of Confederate;
intunebed at • place sailed Claim Swamp, it appears,
bed been surprised by Mersa Colonel Josue, from
Neither's. We are told that they had their artillery
and SOO prisoners captured, and their works destroyed.
This looks like a total defeat; but the Confederates,
rallied, turned spoil their foe, drove them back upon
their own lines, end apparently inflicted quite es much
punishment as they had remised. Colonel Jones was
killed babied his 0.0 breastworks. A party of Marais
had distinguished themselves by making • wantonly
destructive raid from West Point, Virginia, into the
neighbouring counties. Meeting with nothing but non-
oust:aunts, they sulked the grain warehouse, burnt
the mills, metered the horses of the farmers, their
cattle, said their sheep, and, in short, everything that
could be of we to the Federal army. Perhaps no great
fault could be found with thus vigorous foragers for
helping themselves at the expense of their enemies; but,
after they spoiled the farmers of their goods, they made
• bonfire of their agricultural implements—. wanton
destructiveness which covers them with obloquy. We
have no farther intelligence of Lee's anticipated move-
ment against the North ; but one of the ablest of the
Southern jonruals, the Richmond /runnier, urges the
invuion of Northern soil ea the only effectual means of
bringing about • termination of the war. The North
America has arrived, but brings no later news of impor-
tance. The New York Democratic Committee had
solution, protesting earliest any negotiations
ro.:7•d re
•sce by the Administration, except on the basis of
11.. Union and the Constitution.

The Royal mail steamer China arrived at Queenstown
on Friday, bringing New York Dews to the 3rd of June.
According to New" York papers the war is daily aestining
a more bloody mid vindictive character. The officers of
Colonel St. Streight's command captured at Rome.
Alabama, am held by the Confederate authorities at the
demand of the governor of Alabaman, upoo the plea
that there were negro soldiers in the ranks. Gianni

order for the exeriotiou of white officers commanding

moured that General Heater has been removed. The
reported hanging of negro.. by General Itannaduke is
now credited. Omnersl Burnside his forbidden the

According to the correspondent's account. General
Grant appears to have shown considerable reeklesenses
in throwing his men against the fortifications at Vicks-
burg, which are impregnable to assault, without
previous siege operations. In the last amok General
Grant loot 2,5n0 killed and wounded in thirty minutes.
The Federal gunboat " Cincinatti" has been conk by the
Vicksburg batteries. Up to the 29th ult. the situatien
of affairs at Vicksburg remained unchanged.
Nrr Vona, Jane 3rd.—The latent from Vicksburg is
to the 29th ult. No change in the condition of affairs
had occurred, but the prospect. of General Grant were
regarded an encouraging. The Southern journals of
the 30th uit, speak rather despondingly of their pros-
pects at Vicksburg. No important movement has taken
place on the Rappahannock. Southern journals, how-
ever, talk of a change of base on the part of Gm.
Hooker. A deepatch from Cincinnatti says that the
Federal CoL Carnyn defeated Gen. Roddy at Florence,
Alabama, on the 27th ult., capturing one hundred men,
eight Akers, four hundred mules, and 300 negro...
CoL Clamyn then proceeded northward, destroying
foundries. mills, and everything elm useful to the
enemy that he could lay hands on. The capture of
Puelibi is confirmed, and the French Oen. Bamino was
marching to attack the city of llesico.
