LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

POLAND.

The letters from Warsaw reach tothe morning of
the day on which the collision of the troops took
place. A letter of the 7th says :

This evening, at 4 o'clock, a crowd of 40,000 or 50,000
persons assembled before the building in which the Agricul-
tural Society held its sittings. The Russian double-headed
eagle, fixed upon the house, hail been covered, and the white
Polish eagle substituted for it. By its side was • red and
white cross, iu fact, the Polish colours. The appearance of
the white eagle was saluted with prolonged hurrahs by the
crowd, who proceeded with heeds uncovered to the resi-
dence of the ex-president of the Agricultural Society, Count
Zamoyski. The count begged them to maintain order.
They then went to Count Wielopolski's, to whom they
wished to give a charivari on account of his share in the
dissolution of the society ; but the appearance there of
pickets of infantry prevented them from making any de-
monstration. About an hour afterwards a detachment of
gendarmes and two companies of infantry marched through
the principal streets to the chateau, followed by an ina-
meow crowd. The Prince-Lientenant, accompanied by
some aides-de-camp and generals, was seen to leave the
chateau. He penetrated the crowd on foot, urging
them to disperse. They demanded that the troops
should be removed, when they would do as
he wished. The prince withdrew, and returned on
horseback, repeating his invitation, but without success.
Several young men near him bared their breasts, vying out
that he might kill them, but that they would not withdraw
before the troops were removed. The prince was compelled
to quit the spot, groans and hisses accompanying his
retreat. The effort. of the generals were equally useless.
At het the troops received orders to retire, and then the
crowd dispersed.

A letter in the Debate, describing the above inci-
dents, says also that the crowd demanded of Prince
Gortchakoff that he should use his influence with
the Emperor to procure them the right of a na-
tional army. "We shall return to-morrow," they
said, "and bring you our demands in writing."
The Debate also has the following hurried account
of the collision :

WARSAW, Aram $.

A terrible misfortune has happened. A peat crowd as-
sembled before the chateau at 6 o'clock this evening.
The cavalry charged and the infantry fired upon the people.
There were at least 30 pawns killed and • crest number
wounded. The city is in great consternation. The deputa-
tion of the city, headed by Canon Wyuynski, M. Schlen-
ker, the provost of the merchants, and If. Kronenberg,
banker, presented themselves at the chateau, but Prince
Goetchakoff would not receive them. Count Andre
Z•moyski refused to go to the prince, but he used all his
influence to tranquillise the people.
It is said that Prince Gortchakoff has been re-
called from Warsaw, and that General Mouravieff
(of Kars) has been appointed in his place.
