THE NATIONAL TROOPS IN POLAND.

Although the winter is approaching, the national
forces are now more numerous and better equipped
than they have been since the commencement of the
insurrection. The speech of the French Emperor
has created a great sensation in Poland, and is
generally interpreted as expressing the determina-
tion of Napoleon not to abandon the Polish cause.
The Poles are accordingly using all their efforts to
continue the insurrection till the spring, when they
regard foreign assistance to be certain.
The following is a rapid sketch of the position
and numbers of the insurgent forces :—The palati-
nate in which the Poles are most firmly established
is that of Lublin. The insurgent leaders in this
palatinate are Wierzbicki, ltudzki, Kozlowski,
Szydlowski, Krysinski, Dinewski, Suchodolaki,
Czyzewica, Sienkiewics, and Junosz. A review of
these troops took place at Turohin on the 29th ult.
It was a magnificent sight, and greatly encouraged
the insurgents, to whom this evidence of their
strength added confidence and enthusiasm.
In the palatinates of Sandoudir and Cracow
Generals Boeak, Reusbajlo, and others, present a
formidable front to the numerous Russian troops
which have been sent to attack them.

Colonel Kopenficki commands the numerous
flying columns of Polish cavalry, which constantly
harass the enemy in the palatinate of Kalisz.
In Kujavia there are also three bodies of horse,
one of which is under Okoniewski.

In the palatinates of Plock and Augustow en-
counters are constantly taking place between the
Russians and the Poles. In Podlachia the official
Russian papers speak constantly of bands of armed
men which give much trouble to the imperial
troops ; and in the palatinate of bfajovia the Polish
horse under Byrewicz has lately fought a aeries of
brilliant cavalry engagements, in which the Rus-
sians suffered a complete defeat.
Finally, in Lithuania, and especially in Sarno-
gitia, the insurgents are fully prepared for the
winter, and their late victories have greatly dis-
couraged their opponents.

THE LADIES IN THE CITADEL OF
WARSAW.

WARSAW, Nov. 7.
The latlies who were taken some days ago to the
Citadel will proceed to-day or to-morrow to Russia
by railway. It is not known to what part of the

empire they will be sent. The young girls who
were arseited latdy arw not excluded from this
transportation. The father of the twin sisters
Fleischer, who are but 15 years of age, begged
General Rozwadowski to tell him the crime for
which hie children had received this dreadful
sentence, and was answered that they are charged
with no particular cringe, • but that General Berg
thought it advisable instantly to send them away
I from the eity, together with the other ladies.
He refused the prayer of the unfortunate father,
that he might be told the place to which hischildren
would be sent, in order to enable him to seed a
person df more mature age to look after them. To-
night all the rich inhabitants who were lately ar-
rested, 60 in number, are to be sent away, nobody
knows whither. It is a fact that these
both ladies and gentlemen, will be transported
without trial or bearing of any kind, but simply on
the order of General Berg. That this has already
several times been the case appears from letters re-
eeived here from the Asiatic frontier, which state
that the transported prisoners did not even have a
bearing. No preparation whatever is made for the
journey ; the prisoners are not even supplied with
warm clothing, and nearly all have in consequence
fallea ill on the way.—Breslau Gestate.
