POLAND.

The imperial ukase, notwithstanding the intrigues
of the Russian agents, has in no way produced
the effect on the Polish peasants which had been
hoped for. The German correspondent of the
Ifatiotial Gazette announces that everywhere the
news is being continued, that the ukase bas been
received coldly and with indifference by the peasant
population, who have even shown some hostility
to the Russian government, and suspicion of its
objects. They display great dissatisfaction at being
placed under Russian officials instead of their own
countrymen as heretofore.
The Aativnal Gazettc also asserts that dreadful
tortures are practised ou the political prisoners iu
the citadel to elicit confessions.

The official Dziestik announces the appearance
of a new insurgent band of 400 men on the 28th
March, opposite Rypin, in the palatinate of Plock ;
and also of a small detachment in the village of
Zabia, in the palatinate of Ostroleuka. On the
10th March au engagement, it adds, took place
near Radom with the insurgents under Filipowaki.
The Vienna Press says that on the 24th March
nine Poles, who had rongbt refuge on Austrian
territory, were given up to the Russians at
Radziwillow by the Austrian authorities. These
unfortunate people were immediately put in irons
and taken into the interior of the country.
