IMPORTANT FROM POSEN.

An aide-de-camp of General Colomb, commanding-
general in Posen, is said to have arrived at Berlin,
with the important intelligence of the complete defeat
of the Polish insurgents, under Mieroelawski, on the
afternoon of the 7th instant, and the surrender at dis-
cretion of the whole body.
The foregoing needs confirmation.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT AND THE GOVERNMENT OF
SPAIN.
The following is the extract from the Clamor Pa-
tio, published at Madrid on the 7th of April, 1818, alluded
to in the correspondence between the British government
and the government of Spain:
[ franslation.)
" Dtrumaric NOTE.—We understand that the English
minister resident at this court hos just sent in to the govern-
ment, through the minister of stat?, a very strong note, de•
precatino the policy of the day, a continuance of which, in
his opinion, is likely to cause gnu iii-will sari disturiwnews.
Viewing the great events which are occurring in Europe,
Mr. Bulwer has thought himself called upon to offer some
t advice to the councillors of the queen on the course which it
would be proper to pursue in order to satisfy the exigencies
of the prevent time, before passions are let loose. It appears
that he declares, without reserve, that England will never
Icnd her support to the present order of things, because she
cousidera it highly compromising and disastrous."
