POLAND.

The Corriere liaison° of Vienna contains the fol-
lowing extract of a letter from Warsaw :—" Before
leaving Warsaw for Moscow, Prince Gortchakoff
expressed to the Polish nobility his gratitude for the
readiness they had displayed in departing for the
coronation fetes; and he gave them assurance that
such a manifestation cannot fail to be followed with
the best results for Poland. The prince takes with
him to Moscow several projects relating to a reform
of the various branches of the administrative and of
public economy."
A letter from Warsaw states that an old Polish
emigrant, Count &spieler, Ostrowski, belonging to
' one o( the first families in the kingdom of Poland.
and who during his residenca at Paris, up to the re-
volution of February, filled the post of chef-de-bureau
at the Ministry of Public Works, has been reinstated
in his rights of nobility and in hie property by the
Emperor of Russia.

THE UNITED STATES.

The political intelligence from the United States
leidah reached Ragland by the mail delivered yester-
rily is of the highest interest. The Senate and
Here of Representatives at Washington were openly
et issue during the last few hours of the session on a
point arising out of the slavery question, and the
members have dispersed leaving some of the most
important supplies unvoted.
The Howe of Representatives refused to peas the
Annual Appropriation Bill for the support of the
army, unless the senate would consent to engraft upon
it a proviso that no part of the money should be aF-
plied to the enforcement of the laws enacted by the
legislature of Rums. This resolution caused the loss
of the entire bill, and Congress closed its erosion
without making any provision for the support of the
army.
We have to-day no army ;says the New York
Journal of Commerce); or, which is the same thing,
no means of supporting it. With an overflowing
treasury, we have not the means of paying a cor-
poral's guard, unless, perchance, there remains unex-
nded a remnant of the appropriation of last year.
The Washington Union declares that " the revolution
has begun."
The Intelligencer says:—" Such as event is with-
out precedent in our linnet."
The limitation on which the house insisted was
thus worded :
Provided, however, sad it is hereby declared that nO
part of the military fore* of the United States for the sup-
port of which oppropriations ere made by this act shall he
employed is Mu of the enforcement of any enactment of the
boat' claiming to be the territc Mal leghlature of Karma,
until loch enactments shall have been affirmed and ap-
proved by Congress; but this provise shell not be so oot
strned as to prevent the President from emtploaying sa
adequate military fora; but it 1111•11 ao his oar

residests, acting or claiming to act aa a posse mutates of

and upon tbe national highways leading to said territory,

Vetted States authorising the distribution of arms to the
states and territories. _

The President has power to call an txtra session of
Congress,so that its members may adopt such reenediec
as the exigencies of the case demand. This power he
has promptly exercised, and, by the knowing prods,.
mation, Congress has been convoked in an extra sea
sloe, to commence on the 21st of Angaet, that is
three days afar the close of tie late melon.
