POLAND.

The following are the intercepted despatches
alluded to in the letter of our Berlin correspondent
of the 28th of February :

3M. TENGOBORSKT TO M. DE BUDBERO, RUSSIAN Am.

BASSADOR AT PARIS.

" Warsaw, Feb. 4, 1863.

"My dear Baron,—l take advantage of Mr. Rose's re-
turn to send you the latest official news. The Grand Duke
has just been informed by a very short telegram that a com-
bat has taken_ place at Pilwiszki (on the railway between
Kowno and Eydt Kuhnen), that a large body has been
routed, and the field of battle covered with slain. As yet
there are no details.

" By my telegram of to-day I pointed out to you the two
chief hotbeds of the insurrection. I fancy that we shall
have news to-morrow from Wengrow, where serious opera-
tions have been ordered, and where a decisive blow was to
have been made to-day. I hope it has succeeded, and that
the strong body of men assembled there has been destroyed.
As regards Wychock, we expect news of what has been
done there in a few days. There, however, the task is more
difficult, as the country is mountainous as far as the Aus-
trian frontier, and is therefore well adapted to a guerilla
warfare. Moreover, the whole south of the Radom district
is deprived of
_troops in consequence of the concentration,
and the insurrection will have it all its own way for a few
days. In my opinion it is the most important point, taking
especially into account the facilities which the insurgents
meet with on the part of the Austrian authorities, who
allow armed persons to leave Cracow and Galicia to join the
insurgents. I have already notified this at St. Petersburg
and Vienna. I beg of you, however, to keep these details to
yourself. Only yesterday we received a report from the
frontier informing us that an armed band, coming from
Cracow, has pillaged our customhouse at Michalowice, and
then recrossed the frontier with booty to the amount of
4,000 florins. This communication (?), coming from Aus-
tria, is not the least remarkable fact in the history of this
insurrection.
" Three days since an attempt was made to poison the
whole family and servants of Marquis Wielopolski, happily
without fatal results, though many were made ill. Another
attempt was made to .day, but only the servants have suf-
fered. One of the maid servants is very ill. These are
horrors worthy .of the middle ages.
" I beg you a thousand pardons for not having replied by
telegraph to your last four messages, but you must excuse
me. lam hard at work day and night, and for the last
three weeks have never gone to bed till 5 or 6 in the morn-
ing, and then only for a few hours. I am regularly done
up, and so are my employes. In the course of the week,
however, I hope to fulfil my duties towards you; at the
same time, I will answer Tschitekine's letters, who, I trust,
will also excuse me.

" The day before yesterday two insurgents were ordered
to be shot at Plock, and four others shared the same fate
at Radom. Of course it is only the leaders that are thus
dealt with, and we have.many of them captives.
" The insurrection has had time to strengthen and con-
solidate itself in some districts, but the suppression will
only be the more complete, fcr it will be much easier to de-
stroy en masse two or three bands than to deal with them in
detail dispersed through the country.

" I enclose a letter from the Grand Duchess for the Coun-
tess d'Aquila, which I place under your charge.
"I shall endeavour to keep Sou au courant of events as
far as possible, and shall write more fully by the next
courier.—Believe me, M. le Baron, yours, &c.,

"LETTER FROM M. TENGOBORSICI TO M. D'OUBRIL,

RUSSIAN REPRESENTATIVE AT BERLIN.
" Warsaw, Feb. 4, 1863.

" Mon cher Ami,—l simply add a few lines to my despatch
of this day to inform you that measures have been taken to
provide lodgings for all the gentlemen who come here from
Berlin, whom we expect to-morrow. While admitting the
courteousness of the mission of these gentlemen we cannot
exactly make out the cause of it. There is not any poled°
in mora, and we do not stand in need of Foreign troops. For
the present all that is necessary is that Prussia should
keep a strict eye on her frontier, so as not to allow insur-
gents to find a refuge there. It therefore appears to me
that the mission of three officers gives too much importance
to the affair, which might have very well been settled with
one. If lam rightly informed, it is M. de Tetteau who
had the unhappy idea to go to Berlin, and alarmed the
Prussian Government, making the Devil blacker than he
is painted. I shall, therefore, feel obliged to you to send me
all the information
you can, as indica' ed in my privafe tele-
gram of to-day..

[Here follows the same statement as iu the letter to AL
Budberg respecting the attempt to poison the Wielopolski
family, and the affair at Pilwiszki.)
tt I must conclude, as I am really worn out.'
" Believe, rae,*). _
