THE POLISH

RRECTION.
WARSAW, illm. N.

The report that General Mieroslawaii had fled
across the frontier is said to be without foundation.
He has penetrated as far as Kolo, in the govern-
ment of Kalish, where his forces engaged the
Russians yesterday and to-day.
Langiewicz has crossed the Vistula, and is
operating in the vicinity of Lublin.

CRACOW, Fix. 26.

and the insurgents are reported to have taken place.
Of one, in which the Poles were commanded by
Langiewicz, no details have been received. The
other occurred near Rubio, where the Russian

The insurrection is again making progress in

coded by Pruasian hussars, bringing with them

THE CONVENTION BETWEEN PRUSSIA
AND RUSSIA—IMPORTANT DEBATE IN
THE BERLIN mamma. -
BERLIN, Fits. 243.
In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies,
Herr von Sybel presented the report of the com-
mittee appointed to investigate the proposition of
Herren Hoverbeck and Csrlowitz, that the govern-
ment should be requested to maintain neutrality in
the Polish insurrection, and disarm fugitives from
both belligerent parties entering upon Prussian
territory.
Herr von Sybel said that the government could
only choose between lamentable retreat and incon-
ceivable danger. The chamber should solemnly
disavow the policy of the government
Graf von Eulenburg stated, in the name of the
government, that the insurgents arrested near
Thorn had not been given up to Russia, but sent
I back across the frontier. The measures taken by
the government had contributed to lessen the insur-
rection. The statement that Prussian troops bad
entered upon Russian territory, near Gollab, was
without foundation.
Herr Von Bismark said :
" The government has not been able to state its
views upon,this important question. The propoai_
ton of Herren Hoverbeck and Carlowitz is sym-
pathetic with the insurrection, and the rumours
current concerning the convention between Prussia
and Russia are mythical. The chamber must not
form conjectures as to the purport of the conven-
tion from the refusal of the ministry to communi-
cate its contents. The government cannot discuss
a pending question in its lull bearings upon
European policy. The proposition of Herren
Hoverbeck and Carlowitz has not attained its aim
of overturning the government
"The convention stipulates expressly that the
consent of the respective governments is requisite
upon each occassion of Russian or Prussian troops
passing their own frontiers. The ,government has
not concluded any stipulations with Russia to
which the expressions used by Earl Russell in the
House of Lords were applicable. Count Bernstorff
was not acquainted with the text of the convention
when questioned about it by Earl Russell. The
government has nothing to retract (Die Regientng
hat niehts zurikkzunehtnen). This will become evi-
dent as soon as the text of the treaty shall have
been made known."
After a discussion, lasting upwards of six hours,
during which the policy of the 'government was
most vehemently attacked, the sitting was ad-
journed until to-morrow.

BERLIN, TIOLSDAT.

Since Friday last rumours of a niinisterial crisis
have been circulating on the Bourse. Up to the
present, however, they have not received any con-
firmation.

ITALY AND POLAND.
TURIN, 1. 26.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the debate
on the proposed loan was continued.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, in reply to
Signor Mordini, stated that the foreign policy of
the government was based upon the alliance with
England and France, and repelled the accusation
of pliability.
With reference to Poland, after dwelling upon
the popular sympathy expressed in behalf of the
Poles, be added :—" If the principle of non-
intervention were violated by any power, it
would be a very serious matter. The violation
of the principle of non-intervention is injurious
alike to those who commit it and to these by whom
the violation is accepted." (Applause.)

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.

Advice, from Warsaw to the 21d February slate
that after two days of silence the Official Journal
had once again begun to show signs of life. On
the 20th it published two very brief bulletins, one
of which related to the affair of Miecbow. On the
next

day it gave the following "official" account of

that occurrence :

The attack upon Mechem took place, the 17th instant,
at dawn. Some days. previously the garrison of
that town had bee• m•eh dimi•ished in come-
nuance of the despatch el • strong column, commanded
by Prince Bragration, in pursuit of the rebels, and only
three cesspools and 200 custom-house officials were left
Is the tows at the time it was attacked. The rebel' were
to the number of 3,000. Their principal object in attacking
the town ,was to set fire to several houses. At the first
Mood ot slant the troops occupied the market-place. The
rebels sevesal times endeavoured 'lrith extreme ardour to
take poseeedion of that pleas, bat they were repulsed
every time with severe loss. Maley of the inliabitenta aided
with the rebels, among others the mayor, who fired from
hie window, and wounded • soldier of the Smolensk regi-
ment. The emailict lasted three hours. The rebels were
compelled to retreat, leaving 200 deed behind them, and
carrying away a large number of wounded ; 75 were taken
prisoners. The troops lost 8 dead and3had 20,wounded, among
whom were en officer and a quartermaster. The sorra..

of Miechow has since bees eornidsrably reinforced. All the
north-west pert of the government of Radom is clewed
of rebels.

The same advioes from Warsaw state that on the
19th the inhabitants of the houses near the castle
where the Grand Duke Constantine resides received
orders to leave their dwellings. These dwellings
have sines been oocupied by soldiers. According to
the declarations of the authorities this measure was
taken in order "to protect the peaceful inhabitants,"
and to prevent them from being compelled by the
insurgents to fight against the troops."
A report was circulated in Warsaw on the 21st,
that the police had discovered the revolutionary
leader of that city and arrested him • but
the rumour is thought to be without foundation.
Letters from Cracow state that the houses there,
especially those of the aristocracy, are filled with
wounded insurgents, who are nursed with much
care by *e resident ladies. In Warsaw the Bus-
&ftrityarS. said to have forbidden the Sisters of
is go out asd render any assistance to the
wounded insurgents in the field.
Letters from St. Petersburg state that the Polish
insurrection is the one topic of conversation in that
city, and that, although the Imperial troops are
always represented as victorious in the Imperial
bulletins, and the insurgents as utterly defeated,
people begin to believe that the movement is of a
very obstinate character, and that it is not likely
to be put down quite so easily as was at first sup-
po*d. Fresh troops were leaving St. Petersburg
for Poland every day.

t Lower Norwood, took place in the presence of a
number of ladies and gentlemen interested in the
welfare of the institution. The building has been erected

Keeling, Esq., announced the reesipt of nearly 4,000€. to-
wards the building fund ; and as the total expense, includ-
ing fittings, dm., to make the entire establishment complete,
will require a sum of 25,0001., a further sum of 30001. is
yet required to enable the committee to complete the insti-
-1 tution. . .

benefactor to the charity, is the chair. The hospital now
relieved about 8,000 patients, 186 of whom were in-patients.
The medical report stated that the hospital had been so
well regulated, and the limitary arrangements so perfect,
that medical oommiesiopers who had been delegated to visit
it oo behalf of their respective governments had reoom-
mended the adoption of similar appliances in the hospitals
of St. Petersburg, Berlin, Vienna, the Italian States,
Madrid, Copechageo, and the United States, from the
fact of the remarkable mouse with which the surgical ope-
rations were attended. The annual expenses of the insti-
tution are about 2,000 f., but the
false off on account of the Lancashire distress, sod the
anbaceiptiorn and donations together cooly amounted to
1,1701.. but an opportune Lowy of POW. bad enabled the
expense to be met. The hospital (which is eooducted os a
most liberal scale, champagne being )rovided for case*
which require it) is iratituted especm4 for treatment of
women and children in all stages of disease, without lettere
of recommaadation being required.
