first signal mai' given by the military Nam'. The Creml
' Duke Constantine retreated with the regiments that
remained faithful, and dismissed the Polish regiments of
the guards and all ocher national troops that remained with
him, who soon entered Warsaw with colours 441, and
did homage to the new Government.
External tranquillity is now restored and public security
re• established, as far as is possible after all the old regu
lations of police are abolished. The disturbances which
h we broken out at the same time at Kalisch, and in all the
provinces of the kingdom, hardly leave any doubt of the
pleading agreement. The march of the Russian troops
from the interior of the empire was connected with these
events. The most alarming circumstance is, that pro.
clamations have been issued from Warsaw, calling upon the
whole male population from the age of 15 to 45, not only
in the kingdom, but in the provinces united with Russia,
especially Lithuania and Volhynia, to take tip anus. All
eyes are therefore tumid to the great army in Lithuania,
u'h;ch is at least 40,000 strong. The piquet~ of Cossacks
stationed on the frontier between Russia and Poland, to en-
force the tariff of customs, are disarmed and made prisoners.
Of course this frontieris now open for the introduction of all
kinds of prohibited goods, and great Jew:sh merchants
have already given extensive orders in Leipsic ; but all the
sanitary cordons are also broken up, and thus there is free
scope for the entrance of the cholera.

The Prussian Stat..s will adopt the most rigorous pre-
cautions. For the present three Prussian corps are or-
dered to assemble at Posen, Lissa, and Thorn, under Ge-
neral Gneisenau as Commander-in-Chief. All t:,e troops
are put in motiun, as the march of recruits to the Rhine
is not interrupted. In the War Department, where Gene-
r.l Witzlemn di-phys the greatest activity, every thing is
in motion. Not only the first reserve of the Landwher is
called out, but also the second, which includes all men able
'tl bear arms to the age of forty-five. The fortification of
Posen, which has been going on for above a year,
is to be acc-Jereed. It is no wonder that with such
appearances of war Russian hangs Lave fallen
to 81 ; but no thinking person will, on that account,
imagine every thing to be lost. Letters from Berlin
speak of the memorable firmness and calmness of the King,
which inspires general confidence. Here, in Silesia, tee '
know nothing of what measures may be taken by the
•Austrian -Government against the insurrection which
might threaten Gallicia. The garrison in Breslau has not
yet received any orders to march.

Cescow, Dxc. 6.—Violent as was the explosion of
the revolution in Warsaw, the leading men seem to pro-
ceed with the greatest coolness in the further develops-
ment of it, and to desire to conceal its real tendency un-
der the cover of fidelity to the Emperor Nicholas, in order,
when the insurrection is complete, to give themselves in
the eyes of the world the appearance of moderation, and
to avert for themselves the future chances of personal
danger to themselves. The Provisional Government has
issued a proclamation, in which it promises to return to
obedience and fidelity to the Emperor ; but requires, on
the other hand—
l. The maintenance of the existing Constitution.
2. The union of the old Polish provinces formerly se-
parated from the kingdom awl added to Russia.
3. Inviolability of the Polish territory, and the with-
drawing of the Lithuanian army stationed about Bialy-
stock and Breess under General Rosen.
4. The exehtnge of the prisoners. Who does not see
in such proposals the object of the insurgents to consoli-
date the strength and connections of Poland under the
protection of Russia, in order to he afterwards the better
able to proclaim its independence? The re-union of the
old Polish provinces would strengthen the king-
dom of Poland by the addition of four millions of
souls, and might foul to other pretensions to which
neither Austria nor Russia could yield, even should the
Emperor of Russia be disposed to grant the .remands of
the new Government at Warsaw. But it is not very
likely that there will be much readiness at St. Peter.-
burgh to make concessions of this nature ; and we may
rather expect to see in a few weeks all the horrors of war
overwhelm Poland. What fate will then await the in-
considerate insurgents when the great Russian armies,
which have been for several weeks in motion, advance
./gainst them, maybe presumed from fortnerexamplesof the
siege of Warsaw, and the storming of Prague. The Wes
however, seem disposed to make a powerful resistance, to
arm the whole nation, and excite the greatest enthusiasm
in the people's minds, as soon as the hour of retaliation
shall come. They do not, however, seem to fear the
Lithuanian army so touch as might he supposed from their
good condition, but rather to hope it will assist them.—
But they are too well aware of the power opposed to them,
not to be sensible that they are ruined if the Emperor
does not let mercy take the place of justice. Some bit
republicans, who have formed a club, take all imaginable
pains to raise the courage of the Poles, to extol their
valour, and to prophecy success to their efforts, after the
examble of the Bekiansl brit-the moderate class look
with anxiety to the future.
