BERLIN, MAY 7,

It is said that this note has produced a good im
pression upon the Ambassadors of the Greai

Powers.

LEMBERG, MAY 3,

A namber of boys, averaging between 10 and 12
years of age, left this city to-day with the object
of joining the insurgents in Poland. They were
formed into two detachments, one numbering 30,
and the other 50 strong. It is to be hoped that
the authorities will succeed in preventing these boys
from carrying out their intention, which they have
up to the present moment managed to keep secret.
This incident testifies to the patriotic spirit which
prevails in the breasts even of Polish children.
Mr. W. H. Russell, the well-known correspon-
dent of the Times, arrived here a few days ago.
Baron Seebach is also here, and it is said that he
has been in communication with some of the most
prominent members of the Polish aristocracy.
The Baron has but just returned from Warsaw,
and it is asserted, on reliable authority, that he is
about to proceed to Odessa.
Intelligence recently received here confirms the
news that the insurrection is rapidly extending,
and that new bodies of insurgents are being
formed in every part of the Polish territory. The
most important news, however, is that the peasants
in many districts are now joining the insurgents in
great numbers, in some cases armed with scythes,
and in others with implements of husbandry. They
form distinct bodies, and alter having fought a
battle they disperse and return to their agricultural

pursuits.
The Russians appear to have abandoned their
favourite system of traversing the country in flying
columns. They now march in considerable force
against the insurgents, evidently with the view of
annihilating the small insurrectionary bodies. This
change of tactics 0,1 the part of the Russians has, how-
ever, caused the Poles not to allow their detachments
to operate at too great a distance from each other.
Thus, for instance, the division under the chief
command of Czachowski is subdivided into four
detachments, three of which are led respectively by
Kononowize, Grelincki, and Lopacki ; the fourth
being under the immediate command of the chief.
In the district of Ssndomir other bodies are in
course of formation, which will also co-operate
with the abovenamed detachments under Czachow-
ski. On the 20th ult. Czichowsli i defeated the
Russians at Bzin, arid again at Nicklanie on the
22d ult. Kononowize, a few days since, gained
another victory over the Russian forces within a
short distance of Wachock. It is said that another
insurgent leader, by name Liittich, has defeated the
Russians at Papow, not far from Dzialosz,yn, in the
district of Sandomir.

The tactics observed by the forces under Cha
chowski are also followed by the insurgent divi.

sinus in the vicinity of Kdisch and Konin, all the
small detachments operating within a short dis-
tance of each other. The headquarters of the last-
named forces are at Priesern (Py zdry), where the
insurgents are employed day and night in the
manufacture of arms of every description.
The insurgent chiefs Mokiakowski and Obsinski
are now also acting together.

Tezioranski, with about 600 men, mostly volun
eers from Gaiicia, is operating in the Governmen

of Lublin not far from the forces under Lelewei

A third detachment is now in course of formation
in that Government,

The news that the p-et Mieczyslew Romanowsk
had fallen in battle on the 24th ult., is now con.

firmed.

" The expedition to Celina was entirely successful.
Colonel Graham reports through General Hobson that they

barrels of flour, a considerable quantity of sugar, coffee, tea,
malt, and other stores, and 40 boats which had been used
in transportation from Bucksville and other points on the
Cumberland River. The rebels report a loss of 00, killed,
but Colonel Graham, the commander of the expedition, is
of opinion that the number is greater. We had one wounded
and one missing. The result is highly creditable to the
troops engaged. Indeed it was a perfect success.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE,

POLAND.
CRACOW, MAY 7.
More than 60 persons have been arrested in the

Numerous arrests,including many noblemen, have
also been made in the province of Posen.
The insurgent chief, Ozinski, after a successful
encounter on the sth inst. with the Russian troops,
occupied Dombrowa.

The peasants of the district of Pcdlachia, in the
Government of Lublin, are paying to the revolu-
tionary agents the ground rent for the support of
the insurrection, which their landlords have refused
to pay.

Private letters received here from reliable sources
in St. Petersburg, state that Prince Gortschakoff,
after having despatched the replies to the notes of
the Great Powers on the Polish Question, read a
confidential note to the ambassadors of those powers
in St. Petersburg. This note explained the pro-
gramme of reforms intended to be carried out in
Poland by the Emperor.

The introduction of these reforms would depend
upon circumstances, although they would not be
delayed after the pacification of Poland had been
effected.

It is expected that the insurgent forces in Poland
will shortly be augmented, but the Russian autho-
rities hope to be able to overpower them.
