THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

The Dziennik of Warsaw, of the 27th ult.,
publishes the following bulletins :
A band of rebels, composed of more than 1,000 men well
armed and drilled. who had oome from Gallic a, maim the
command of Oseehowski, chief of the bands in the govern•
meet of Lublin, has been defeated after several combats in
the woods of Jedlinak, Budriery and Matto Krzessowvka,
by the detachment of Colonel kedninkow. HAY* been
constantly pursued, they were beaten and dispersed on the
20th and 21st, in the neighbourhood of Czossry, and the
rebels in small bands crossed the frontiers of the kingdom.
Their lamer were considerable. Among the killed were
Crechowski and two masts. Ten of the insurgents were
made prisoners, and a great number of muskets,
horses, and baggage fell into the heeds of the Maims,
who had ten men killed and eighteen wounded. The bead
of Lelewel, composed of 000 men, was completely
beaten on the 24th, near lireenobred, by the detachment
of Major Ozolins. The rebels left nearly 200 dead on the

km of the troops was Magnificent. On the 24th the band

A communication from Rome in the Augsburg
Gazette gives the following details respecting the
mission of Count de Baotou from the Russian go-
vernment to the Holy Sea ;
The count was charged ea the part of the Czar to urge
the Holy See to term as smirch& letter engaging the
Polish clergy to aketain from all participation in the in-
sarrestioe. This demand was, iu the fret instance,
addressed to the Cardinal Secretary of State, who
promised to communicate it to the Pepe. The
count was afterwards received in private audios.. by his
Holiness, who showed some inclimation to accede to the ap-
plication, after the Russian envoy bad eadeavoured to de-
monstrate that the preset movement in Poland
from the same came that bad already despoiled thFlt%
See of part of its provisoss and threatened to take the rest.
Ultimately, however, the Holy Father refused to publish
the encyclical letter demanded, on the ground that the Holy
See was unwilling to meddle with the affairs of Meal
Count de Snakes then made somber appeal to Cardinal
Autonelli, Foyleg him to nee his influeeee to induce the
Pops to take as early opportunity of briefly expressing his
approval of the Russian policy io Poland ; but his Eminence
expressed the opinion that he should not be able to obtain
any such coneession, and the language of the late Pontifical
allocution proms that his anticipations were correct.

The proceedings in the Berlin Chamber of De-
puties at the late sitting, when Count de Bismark
had to answer the interpellations respecting Poland,
are thus summed up and remarked on by the Con-
stigutionnel :

- ------ -
The count followed the system which he bad adopted in
previous disouesious. He declared that he had nothing to
add to the imp/mations already furnished upon the conven-
tion of the Bth Feb. Foreign cabinets had been led into
error, and had even admitted that they bed been badly in-
foamed. "The world would be surprised," said M. de
Biemark, "if it knew the contents of the convention.
In any case it was false that the Russians were autho-
rised in virtue of that convention to purses the insurgents
on Prussian territory." In short, H. de Manisa de-
nies the alarming character of the convention upon every
point, but persists in uiaiotainiog silence a to the real coo-
-1 tents of that diplomatic document, and thus reoouooes the
only conclusive proof that the Prussian government could
bring forward to confound its adversaries. The opposition
did not live way before the arguments of H. de Bismark ;
one of the speakers, Pd. de Sybil, referred to the protests of
the Western Powers, and blamed the government for not
lurking anticipated those objections. The speaker showed
that in this question the whole of Europe wan unanimous
in condemning the Prussian policy. le terminating, M. de
Sybil exhorted the ministers to show themselves more
circumspect for the future, and in order to clearly establish
the opinion of the majority, reminded them of
the vote passed by the chamber in the sitting of
the 28th Feb., which recommended the strictest neutrality.
Another meeker, H. Loewe, deplored the sad effect pro-
duced in Poland by Premien policy ; the hatred of that
nation had been thus excited, and some day Poles and
Russians might make common cause against the Germans.
The chamber then left that subject for the motion con•
ceroing the extuulition of insurgeuta by the Promise authori-
ties. The intentions of the Premise government are not
yet known in a precise manner. The Minister of the In-
terior, indeed, pronounced the word " indulgence," but be
also spoke of the obligation of the government to falai its
engagements. The cabiut of Berlin will, it is to be hoped,
rind means to conciliate that double duty ; conventions •
of the nature of that of the Bth February should
not be too strictly applied in such exceptional
circunistariesc The Polish insurgents me not looked upon
by Europe as mere military deserters ; they are the soldiers
of a national cause, who amoot be assimilated to criminals.
Humanity and political prudence counsel the Prussian go-
verenient not to exaggerate the stipulations of a currention
made for ordinary times. A third motion respecting Poland
referred to the expenses of the concentration of troops on
the Polish frontier. The Miuister of War declared that
that outlay had as yet been made with the disposable (undo;
he could not my whether it would be necessary to submit to
the chamber a bill for the opening of a credit. This sitting,
on the whole, has coofirmed what was already known of
the feeling of the Prussian chamber with regard to Poked,
as that assembly, in accord with the majority of the
country, endeavours to detach the governmeat from the
alliance which it has more or less directly contracted with
Rorie on the Polish question.
We learn from Cracow, under date of the 2nd
kid., that a courier had just brought an account'
that a desperate conflict took place on the 25th
end 26th ult., between the Russians and the insur-
gents, at Kosiewice, near Radom. The Poles were
attacked by two Russian corps which left Demblin
and Radom. The result is not yet known. An
engagement took place on the 27th at Wielm, in the
Palatinate of Kalisch. Most of the engagements,
which the Remise bulletins designate as victories,
have been followed by the retreat of the imperial
troops. If the numbers mentioned in those bulle-
tins were to be admitted as true, the number of
Poles already killed would amount to 60,000.
