THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

Though the accounts we receive of the Polish
Insurrection are still contradictory, they supply
abundant evidence that the movement is still far
from being repressed. The provisional govern-
ment, which SOMA to baffle all the vigilance of the
Russian authorities, reliantly gave fresh indica-
cations of vitality by issuing three proclamations.
which have been disseminated far and wide by iA
secret journal. The first of these proclamations is
addressed to the Lithuanians, and it calls upon
them to follow the example already set
by their brethren who are in arms. The
second proclamation is addressed to the inhabi-
tant. of Podolia, Volbynia, and the province of
Little Russia, urging them to unite against the
common enemy. The third proclamation enjoins
the Poles under Prussian and Austrian dominion
to remain quiet, but to afford the insurrection all
the moral and material aid at their disposal.
A letter from St. Petersburg, under dated March
3, published by the independatice Beige, says that
public opinion in the Russian capital is becoming
more favourable to the cause of the Poles. What
may be called the tory party in St. Petersburg is
strongly opposed to the insurgents. It believes
that Poland must be all but exterminated if
Rorie is ever to enjoy tranquillity. It counsels
the most repressive and violent measures as the
only means of putting an end to the movement.
More liberal men, however, and these are said to
form the majority, consider Poland to be a source
of weakness to Russia, and think that the Emperor
would do well to renounce a sovereignty which has
scarcely more than a nominal character, and so put
an end to bloodshed, which is orly increasing the
animosity existing between the two nations. The
writer thinks that if • " well-intentioned" power
were to take the initiative in convoking a congress
to examine the question, Russia would not object
to take part in it, and the independence of Poland
'under a constitutional monarch, freely elected,
might perhaps be the result without overmuch
opposition from the cabinet of Bt.yetersburg. He
adds :

I repeat it, Russian opinion le decidedly favourable to a
complete separation, and the Emperor himself, if once the
honour of his areas were assured, would net perhaps be
sorry to appear to yield to preseare. lissawhile the war

tin." They kill lieo, in fact, with incredible coolness.
Every day we hear of welkin in which the ground is dis-
puted inch by loch against the insurgenta for four or five
hour, consecutively ; 100, 200, 300 of their number are
killed; they are made prisoners ; their waggons, their
baggsege, emu their guns, are taken, and the Ros-
sano have " one man killed sod two slightly
wounded." The scythes, those terrible arnm which so
swiftly cut olf the legs of hones and the heads of men, os.
