POLAND.

A Craoow letter of the 29th ult. says :

Inagiewics bee not been removed to Chests ee was an-
nounced, list is still here. It is a alias to suppose that
he is not treated as a prisoner. He is kept in e room at
the castle, the window of which is weeny boarded up.
He resolves rations like say other primes', end If he wants
other food he must buy it himself. He and his dude-
camp had 1,400 roubles on their pigeons when they sur-
rendered. In all other respects he is favourably treated.

♦ Cracow letter in the Ost Deutsche Post says :

A part of the insurgents who bad taken refuge upon the
Austrian territory have returned to Poland. A body of
570 men have thus regained their country near Opatowios,
from which place they same, for before leaving they bad all
deposited their arms in a hiding place, and will resume
them on their return. The majarity of the Poles who are
proceeding to fight bid a solemn adieu to their relaCoss sod
friends, for they know that they are going to meet death.
The Runk= have declared in the villages along the Aus-
trian frontier that every place which favours the insurgents
shall be burnt. The peasantry were seized with terror on
learning this order, and. ceding to the menaces of the Rue-
Ideas, will, it is-feared, oppose obstacles to the operations of
the insurgents.

The Archbishop of Warsaw has addressed a letter
to the Czar, in which occurs the following charac-
teristic passage :
At a time of terrible calamity and bloodshed I feel It my
duty to address your Majesty, and to tell you, in my capa-
city as chief of the Polish establishment, what are the oely
means of putting a stop to the indescribable misery which
has befallen our land.

Administrative reforms, whatever their extent and im-
port, are no longer calculated to untidy the Poles. There is
not a man in the country to be gained over by the binder of
mere administrative improvement. The nation yearns for
political life and the restoration of independence. The
most terrific repression will never be powerful enough to
eradicate a spirit filling every Polish soul, and which, I
regret to say, tends, tram day to day, to deepen the gulf be-
tween the nation and the throne. It I. only by the revival
of Polish independence and the maintenance of no more
than a dynastic connexion with Russia ►hat your Majesty
OM remove the probability of ruling, in no distant future,
over a country consisting of ruins, and where public, prospe-
rity is a myth of the past. I trait your Majesty will not
hesitate to adopt a lase painful alternative at a time when
insurrection begins to flag and subside. Powerful and in-
dependent as you are, your Majesty will sot believe that to
be generous implies to be weak.
