LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM,)

AUSTRALIA.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, 9 A M.

The Black Ball and Eagle liner Champion of the
Seas, 1,947 tons register, Captain J. M. Outridge,
from Melbourne, was 18 miles south of this port at
noon yesterday, under all plain sail ; wind westerly,
very light—almost a calm. She has no gold, but
in addition to some hides, bones, &c., brings, ii is
said, the largest lot of wool ever exported thence,
viz., 5,517 bales.

The Champion of the Seas left Port Philip Heads
Dec, 17, called at Cape Horn Jan. 16, and crossed
the Line Feb. 14. From about Dec. 27 to Jan. 16
large quantilies of drift and broken ice were con-
stantly encountered. Ou Jan. 9 an immense body of
solid ice, described by the passengers as being 20
miles, was passed.

SPAIN.

MADRID, MARCH 12.

The Government has refused to grant permission
to the democratic party to hold a meeting in favour
of Poland.

Senor Comyn is on the point of proceeding as
Spanish Minister to London.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION.

THORN, MARCH 13.

Langiewicz was yesterday proclaimed Dictator
of Poland by the revolutionary party at Warsaw.
Last Monday the insurgents defeated the Rus-
sians, under the command of Colonel Tull, near
Myszewo, in the government of Plock.
The Russians had 100 killed.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MARCH 14.
The Moniteur of this morning, after alluding in
its bulletin to the contradictory despatches respect-

ing the resignations of the. Polish Councillors of
State, says ;—" Positive information permits us to
state that the Archbishop of Warsaw is among the
number of the members who have tendered their

resignations."
The ( ipinion Nationale gives some details concern-
ing the Polish insurrection, and hears its testimony
to the spirit of the Revolutionary Committee of War-
saw, which, in the midst of 40,000 Russi an bayonets
has given to the insurrection a national, powerful,
and concentrated existence. Langiewicz has
nominated four directors who are to be severally
occupied with war, the interior, the exterior, and
the finances. Langiewicz has completely re-esta-
blished himself. Twelve thousand men are under
his orders. He has recently received provisions
and ammunition to a considerable extent, 2,700
guns, and a reinforcement of cavalry. The Contra
tutionnel says that the report of M. Larabit on the
Polish petition has been delayed. The Emperor's
Government has at all events given sufficient evi-
dence that it is animated by a sentiment of honour,
and shows that it understands the mission of France
in sympathising with all just causes, so that we can
implicitly repose on its wisdom, and generosity in
all that may relate to the Polish question.
The Pays states that some despatches from Ber-
lin make mention of a stir created in tt at capital
by the news that M. Benthonski, artillery officer in
the Prussian service, has figured among the lieute-
nants of Langiewicz. In this event one sees the
symptoms of the secret connection of the insurrec-
tion with Polish Prussia.

The Siecle states that some amelioration may be
effected by the journey to Berlin of the Prince de
Reus, Prussian Ambassador at Paris, and the voy-
age to Vienna of the Prince Metternich. It is im-
possible for such distiugutshed diplomatists not to
arrive at some solution. The exchange of some
words is worth more than numerous despatches.
The representatives of Prussia and of Austria can
thus report to their august masters the state of
public opinion in France, and declare that there
is not a single man who is not warmly in favour of
the Polish cause. This journal also alludes to a
popular demonstration that took place at Marseilles
in favour of this heroic nation. Groups of people
went about the town crying out " Vivo la Pologuel"
and were received with loud acclamations.
M. Mathieu (de la Drome) has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the Paris papers, dated March 8 :
" I accomplish a duty in asking your permission
to remind your readers of the prognostics detailed in
my note of the 23d of January. I said that from
the last days of March to the let of Juno the
weather will be stormy and very rainy. In certain
districts of the centre and the north of France the
rainy days will be the most numerous. I confirm
what I then said. In the course of the month, par-
ticularly towards the 13th, 20th, and 22d, there will
in certain districts be some rain accompanied by
storm. My note of the 23d of January indicates a
more serious phenomenon in consequence of its ex-
tent. Between the 29th of Marct and the 2d of
April there will be strong gales of wind with rain,
which, without being extremely abundant, will
water a great part of Western Europe, particularly
the cities of London, Paris, Brussels, Lyons, Geneva,
and the town of Dunkirk. The inreusity and dura-
tion of this rain will diminish in its progress fro.h
the west to the east. Thus from the '29th of March
to the 6th of April much more rain will fall at
Dunkirk than at Geneva. Navigation will be dan-
gerous, particularly in the British Channel. French
and English seamen will not forget that from the
27th of January to the 2d of February they lost 77
ships or boats in consequence of having neglected
my warning. The month of April will probably
produce snow in countries in which it seldom ap-
pears at that period of the year. Millions of wit-
nesses can verify the accuracy of my prediction as
to the rain which is to fall between the 29th March
and the 2d April.

" MATHIEU (DE LA DROME%

" P.S.—A despatch announces the loss of 14 ships
at the Mauritius during the Ist of February.
Another despatch, dated the 27th February, an-
nounces inundations in the province of Constantine;
the rain, starting thence, arrived in France on the
4th of March. The three periods indicated in my
note of the 23d January to produce accidents in
January and February have but too faithfully per-
formed their promise."
