PLOTEBT.

By this Act of the 25th of January, 1863, the Provisional
Government which evoked the Polish insurrection called
me to the dictatorship and to the chief command of all the
armed forces of that insurrection. I accepted that honour-
able burden under certain conditions detailed in the reply
which 1 sent to the commissaries of the Government, and
which, as far as I am concerned, were fulfilled by me with
military punctuality. At the same time I ordered a procla-
mation to be published, to be distributed at the proper mo-
ment. Nevertheless, from a feeling of high delicacy, out of
respect for the proud sorrows of the country, which admit
neither of fictions nor surprises, I abstained from making
my nomination publicly known until by our arms we had
conquered a territory and a tribune from which I could be
heard and listened to by the whole country. This is why
the authorities only and the leaders of the insurgent de-
tachments were informed of it, that they might not plead
ignorance in case of insubordination.
Nevertheless, taking advantage, in the mast unjustifi-
able manner, of my civic prudence, hastily seizing upon
the moment when a serious attack of illness compelled me
to seek a quiet refuge, despite the most authentic and the
most solemn act of the National Government, Marian
Langiewicz, on the 10th of March, proclaimed himself
second Dictator of the Polish nation over some thousand
square miles of territory.

I do not accept that audacious challenge to civil war;

I confine myself to an appeal to national common sense,
protesting in the name of the Witness and guarantees, dead
or living, of the act of the 28th of January against the
outrage perpetrated against that act by Marian Langiewicz,
General Louis Minnostawsxt,

March 11, 1863.

Having read the above protest of General Louis Micro-
slawski, we, the undersigned, former members of the Cen-
tral National Committee, ocular witnesses and conjointly
with Ladislas Janowski, commissaries of that committee,
acting as Provisional Government, declare to have taken to
Paris, on the part of that Government, an invitation dated
the 25th of January, for him to assume the dictatorship and
supreme ccmmand of the Polish insurrection. We here
remind the country that our third colleague, Ladislns Ja-
nowski, has sealed with his blood, on the battle-field of
Krzywosonds, at the very side of the said Dictator, our
common mission to the bitter.

Consequently, we feel that it is our right and duty, not
only completely to approve the protest of General Louis
Mieroslawski, but, moreover, to protest ourselves, in the
most solemn manner, in the name of the Government
which we have represented, against the iniquitous attempt
of the military chief of the insurgents of Sandomir, Marian
Langiewicz. LADISLAS DANILOWSKI.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE.—
The Oxford crew got into their boat this morning at 20
minutes past 10 at the London Boat-house, and prooeeded
up at a great pace to row down with the tide. They went
at about the same rate as before, and they did not appear to
be working hard while they made their boat go exceedingly
fast. The Cambridge crew were also out, but only took
a little gentle exercise, as they intend pulling over the dis-
tance this afternoon. There appears to be some notion that
the Cantabs are not so competent to row the distance
throughout as the Oxonians, but that remains to be seen.
ihe hour at which they will start, and whether up or down
the river, will bo decided this evening.
ASSISTING AT A PRIZE FIGHT.—At the New
Bailey, yesterday, Adam Charles Riding, Charles
Newton, Edward Long, Wiiliam O'Donnell, Richard
Pa:kinson, Henry Snowden, William Graham, and Eaton
Eccleston were charged with assisting at a prize fight. On
Tuesday night the police received information that a prize
fight was to take plane on the following morning at
Clifton, and engagements were made to apprehend some of
the parties engaged. At six o'clock yesterday morning the
police appeared on the scene of action, and on their appear-
ance the spec'ators dispersed, but the prisoners were even-
tually apprehended. The whole of the prisoners acknow-
ledged that they were present, and Long admitted that he
was one of the principals. The prisoners were committed
to the sessions.—liancliester Guardian.

BREACH OF PROMISE,,—At the Somerset assizes,
en Tuesday, a young lady, named Dykes, broueht an
action against a veteran of about 60, named Burston, for
breach of premise of marriage. The plaintiff and defendant
resided at North Newton, near Bridgwater. They "grew
very fond of each ether," and the defendant would sit for
three or four hours at a time with his arm round plain-
tiff's waist. Defendant told many of his and her friends
that he intended to marry her, and fixed upon the last
Wednesday in September last as the wedding day. He
borrowed a cart of a neighbour and went to Taunton with
the intention of having the banns published at Wilton
Church. He, however, altered his mind when ho got
there, and resolved to go to Bristol to be married
there. All went on satisfactorily until the morning before
the day fixed for the wedding, when defendant declared to
a neighbour that he would not fulfil his engagement. On
theBth of October following, the plaintiff found the defend-
ant asleep in the house of a woman named Parsons, who,
although married, did not live with her husband. She
caught her late ardent lover by the nose and beat his head
against the wall. When she released him, she challenged
him to go out in the road to fight it out like a man. De-
fendant declined, saying that he had never raised his hand
against a woman, and would not begin to do so now. Upon
that she boxed his earn, and followed him to his house,
where they remained quarrelling for three quarters. of an
hour. The jury found a verdict for the plamoir—
damages £BO.
