" I repeat it, Russian opinion is decidedly
favourable to a complete separation, and the Em-
peror himself, if once the honour of his arms
were assured, would not perhaps be sorry to ap-
pear to yield to pressute. Meanwhile the war
bulletins seem to justify the old adage, False
as a bulletin.' They tell lies, in fact, with
incredible coolness. Every day we hear of
conflicts in which the ground is disputed inch
by inch against the insurgents for four or five
hours consecutively ; 100, 200, 300 of their number
are killed.; they are made prisoners; their wag-
gons, baggage, even their guns taken, and the Rus-
sians have one man killed and two slightly
wounded.' The scythes, those terrible arms which
so swiftly cut off the legs of horses and the betide
~f men, occasion, according to the bulletin, mere
insignific .nt scratches. The Russians, even of the
highest clas., can no longer read these bulletins
without disgust. They argue in this very simple
manner—lt so many of the insurgents are kilied•
if their supplies are so frequently captared, w 139
does the insurrection still continue? If, too, the
Russians only exp,rience such insignificant losses,
Why those regiments which depart every day tor
the seat of war ? Why so many forces accumulated
upon a territory which can only be conquered
by
fire and exterminatien ?' It. is time that such ridi-
culous falsehoods, in whica no one b Neves, shoula
end, and the simple truth be told."
The Paris Presse of yesterday gives from private
sources an approximate estimate of the insurree-
tional forces in Poland. It seems that on the 25th
ult. these were held by the leaders of the move
ment to amount to 47,0')0 men, and since then tfle
Duchy of Posen seems to have supplied a coolie'
gent of 3,000.
M. Emile de Girardin says that the Poles have
this alternative—" Either liberty by peace, with
the same securities as that of the Austrianat
Prussians, and Russians, or indupendtmce by war"'
France with Italy, but without England, fightiog
"
against the Russians, Prussians, and Austrians.
General Langiewicz has received the following
letter from Garibaldi:—

"Caprera, March 1. a
" 111 y dear Langiewiez,—May God bless you, an
with you the sacred cause of your country ! I°tl
will triumph by conducting your insurrection, as
you do, in detail; and by propagating the move
ment through the whole of ancient Poland-413d
beyond those limits if you can. You will tilt:
afford time to realise in fact the sympathies vibic,,
you merit from all the world. You have alreaN
accomplished wonderful things—well worthy f
name of Poland. At the head of your youth 91
achieve miracles. We will all be with you---t?
soon. " JOSEPH GARIBA.LDI:
