=PRESS FROM PARK:

POLAND.

The day before yesterday the commander of the
Russian troops in the palatinate of Kaliech held a
council with several superior officers of the Prussian
army relative to the measures to be taken to para-
lyse the movements of the insurgents.

The Monifeur of this morning publishes details
respecting the favourable impression produced on
the Japanese by the chastisement inflicted by Ad-
miral Jaures on the Japanese forts from which the
Europeans were fired upon.
The Tycoon has sent the model of a flag which
belonged to him, with an intimation that his go-
vernment recognised the right of foreigners to seise
any vessel which shall not hoist this flag.

The Meessgeries Imperiales steamer imperatrice
arrived here to-day with India and China mails, 64
passengers, and 1,746 bales of silk.
The Peluso is expected at Marseilles on the 6th
of Ootober.

the Court of Correctional Appeals has found her
guilty of an assault upon the new-born child, and
passed the severe sentence (under the circum-
stances) of three years' imprisonment. Such prac-
tices are certainly an evasion of trial by jury.
M. Cabanel, the painter elected to fill Horace
Vernet's chair in the Fine Arts Academy, is the
author of a beautiful Venus, which, at the exhibi-
tion of this year, divided the palm of public appro.
tion with the Venus of M. Hendry.
