LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw, of the 9th, says :—"This
morning, at 10 o'clock, mortuary services were
celebrated simultaneously in the 26 catholic
churches of the capital of Poland, in the Lutheran
church, in the Reformed church, and in all the
synagogues. In spite of a beating rain all the
churches were crowded, and in the catholic
churches ladies of the highest nobility collected
money for the families of the victims. In the Ger-
man Jewish synagogue Dr. Jastrow delivered a
discourse in the Polish language. The crowding of
the public was extraordinary in this synagogue.
Among the congregation were observed many stu-
dents and nobles, also the chief of police, Gen.
Paulucci. The synagogue was lined with black,
and upon the pulpit were the names of the victims
wreathed in laurel. The preacher said that late
events bad reconciled and united the different con-
fessions."

The Gazette of Silicia, says :—" The following
telegraphic correspondence was exchanged on the
27th ult. between the Emperor and Prince Gort-
chakoff :

" WAIIIIAR : Innirreaka. Sr. PiTZIBIII3II42 : Sap.

(agoras TELEGRAM.)

WARSAW, FRMAT.

The deputation of citizens of Warsaw, to which
Prince Gortchakoff communicated the rescript of
the Emperor, was astounded at the tone of the
document.

Prince Gortchakoff privately stated that an
imperial manifesto may be shortly expected grant-
ing reforms.
M. Zamoyski, president of the deputation,
said :—" We accept, but we are far from being
satisfied."

The imperial rescript has not caused any abate-
ment of the prevailing excitement.
Eleven political prisoners have been set at
liberty.

ST. PETERSBURG, Taiumr.

The following in a summary of the imperial
rescript addressed to Prince Gortchakoff, at
Warsaw :

" I ought to consider the petition of the Poles
as null android. I will, however, only look upon it
as an act of enthusiasm. I devote all my atten-
tion to the reforms rendered necessary in the empire
by the development of its interests, and the pro-
gress of the age. My subjects in the kingdom of
Poland are equally the objects of my solicitude. I
have given proofs of my desire that they should
participate in the general benefits and progressive
improvements. My sentiments and intentions are
still the same. I have a right to rely upon their
not being misunderstood or paralysed by inoppor-
tune or immoderate demands inconsistent with the
welfare of my subjects. I shall fulfil all my duties,
and shall not tolerate any serious disturbances.
Nothing can be raised on such a foundation.
Aspirations which should there seek for support
would condemn themselves beforehand. They
would destroy confidence, and would meet with
severe reprobation, since they would make the
country recede from the path of regular progress in
which it is my unalterable desire to maintain it."
POSEN, Tuoutir.
The concessions granted by the Emperor of
Russia to the Poles are :
Re-constitution of the Council of State.
Complete reform in the system of Public In-
struction.

The Municipalities to be elected by the citizens.
Prince Gortschakoff will convoke the principal
Polish notabilities in order that every necessary
reform in all branches of the public administration
may be proposed, examined, and ratified.

ITALY.

NAI'LB3, MAR= 13.

General Pergola, before receiving the order of
Francis 11. to surrender the citadel of Messina,
opened fire against the works of the Sardinians,
but at the same time wrote to General Cialdini to
the effect that he would spare the city of Messina.
General Cialdini replied, complimenting him for
having come to this determination, and saying that
he desired to carry on war without passion, and to
terminate it without rancour.

Civitella del Tronto still holds out, but, being
closely invested, must soon surrender.
The assertions of the Marquis of Normanby in
the House of Lords that the Sardinians had been
guilty of cruelties are totally unfounded. In the
Abruzzi the Sardinians only shot some persons who
had previously been convicted of felony, and who
had been arrested with arms in their hands.
TURIN, 7 UURSDAT.

In the debate in the Chamber of Deputies re-
wonting the title "Kingdom of Italy," Signor
Brofferio censured the minister for depriving the
representatives of the people of the initiative in
this matter.

Count Cavour said that the government took the
initiative because it had also taken the initiative in
the redemption of Italy, a fact now being accom-
plished. He also said, "It will be a great
boldness oaths part of Italy to adhere unanimously
to the proposition of the Government, as, we may
depend, it will meet with opposition abroad. He
quoted as proof certain parliamentary discussions
now taking place in a foreign country. Count
Cavour also announced that Government would
shortly submit to the Chamber a project of law re-
lative to the future headings of public acts when
published.
The Chamber agreed to the title " Kingdom of
Italy."

The Official nazette of Turin publishes a despatch
from General Cialdini, dated Messina, March 13.
This despatch announces that the citadel sur-
rendered at discretion, afterfour days' firing, during
which the Sardinian artillerymen caused a great
fire in the citadeL
A capitulation was refused.

taken prisoners.
Three hundred cannon also fell into the hands of
the Sardinians.
