Considering Powers signing
of their Polish possessions (to which the stipulations of
1815 extend) in harmony with the present requirements and
the progress of the age. Prince Gortschakoff observes, also,
that this mode of action would be in conformity with thee
course pursued in 1815.
The Imperial Government must state that it differs with
the Russian Government upon the majority of these points.
In the first place, we believe that it would be, on the
contrary, most urgent at once to attempt a work of conci-
liation so necessary for the general interest.
In availing herself of the legal and disinterested concur-
rence offered by Austria, France, and Great Britain, the
Court of Russia secures the most powerful means of success
in causing ideas of moderation to prevail in Poland, and
thus laying the foundation of a durable peace.
The organs of the most extreme parties may reject as in-
sufficient the programme recommended by the three Powers;
but it would be an error to believe that there are in such a
case but two parties to be considered—on the one side, the
Government occupied in suppressing the insurrection, and
on the other the chiefs of the insurgents fomenting disorder
and raising the most extravagant pretensions.

The steam. storeship Dee, Mas'f,er Commander
Raymond, yesterday discharged the remainder of her
cargo at Woolwich, under the outer shears at the
river wharf, and proceeded to Deptford to ship
machinery at Messrs. Penn's wharf for the Western
yards.

The store transport Rosabund, having shipped
16 12-ponnder guns, carriages, and equipments from
Woolwich Arsenal for the Royal Artillery batteries
stationed at Quebec and Montreal, yesterday sailed
for her destination.

The Racoon, screw steam corvette, Capt. Count
Gleichen, went out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday
morning, and anchored at Spithead. She is now
only waiting the arrival of his Royai Highness
Prince Alfred, prior to sailing on another cruise.
The Osborne paddle wheel steam yacht, Master-
Commander G. K. Bower, went out of Portsmouth
harbour yesterday to Stokes Bay for a trial of her
machinery and her new paddle wheels, under the
superintendence of Commander Brett and other
officials of the Steam Reserve. The ,trial was
considered satisfactory.
The Pioneer, screw,'l:Acting-Commander Robin-
son, will be paid off alongside Portsmouth Dock-
yard on Saturday. The court-martial on one of the
engineers and two of the crew will be held to-day
on board the flagship Victory.
The undermentioned gentlemen were yesterday
nominated to the naval cadetships —Henry M'A.
Outfield, Thos. A, Houston Boswall, and Thomas

The following appointments were made yester-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Hugo L. Pearson
to the Pelorns; Lieut. Frederick W. Inglefield to
the Duke of Wellington; Lieut. Wm. Walsh to the
Cornwallis ; John A. Lodge, engineer, to the Fis-
gard, to the Hydra; John King (a) and W.
Hawksley, assist.-engineers, to the Fiegard, for the
Hydra; J. H. Duckham, master's assistant, for dis-
posal ; Chas. Topping, John B. Sams, and Edwin A.
L4ng, assist.-clerks, additional, to the Fiegard ; E.
W. C. Mackay and A. T. T. Wise, assist.-clerks, to
the Royal Adelaide, as supernumeraries ; and Thos.
Grey, assist.-clerk, additional, to the Cumberland.

Outside these two camps there is a great floating mass
that would be content to see the security of persons and
property placed under the protection of a just and beneficent
Administration. In gaining the confidence of this portion
of the population, Russia would make a great stride towards
the pacification of the country.
Prince Gortschakoff points out, as one of the principal
obstacles to all attempts at conciliation, the moral encou-
ragement which the most insensate aspirations of the in-
surrection draw from the hope of an active foreign inter-
vention from without.

It is true that events in Poland have excited a lively
sympathy in Europe. This sympathy has been mani-
fested in almost every State where national reFreson-
tation exists. Such manifestation, added even to the
material assistance which the insurgents have been able
to receive from neighbouring States
notwithstanding the
strict surveillance of the Government, do not, how-
ever, constitute the only obstacle to the re-establish
ment of order in Poland. If the insurrection, as Prince
Gortschakoff says, has concentrated all its efforts in the
kingdom of Poland, it is because it has found there a
favourable ground on which it was easy to call up well-
founded grievances, and where there existed causes for
discontent, the removal of which is precisely what we ad-
vise. If the Court of Russia had taken more into account
the engagements entered into in 1772 and 1816 in favour of
the maintenance of religious liberty and of the national in-
stitutions, the agitation from without would not so easily
have provoked these troubles, the frequent recurrence De
which disturbs, not without reason, the neighbouring coun-
tries and the whole of Europe.
Neither do we very well comprehend the objections offered
by Prince Gortschakoff against the reassembling of a formal
conference called to discuss the affairs of Poland. From the
moment that the Cabinet of St. Petersburg admits that the
other Powers have the right of interpreting the sense of
certain stipulations concerning the kingdom of Poland, it
implicitly recognises by such admission that these same
Powers have a right of examination, leading them to make
their opinion heard upon the execution of measures which.
arb only the direct consequence of these stipulations.
' We cannot discover in the participation of the eight
Powers signing the acts of Vienna, or in deliberations upon
the condition of the kingdom of Poland the character of a
direct interference in the interior nffairs of Russia, since it is
evident that the Treaty of Vienna places his kingdom in a
special position, very different from that of the provinces of
the Russian Empire. We do not see, then, what, from
Prince Gortschakoft's point:of view, renders unacceptable to
Russia the assembling of a conference of the eight Powers.
We have already pro ksted against the
in this
interpretationrweshpieccht
the Cabinet of St. Petersburg seemed to give
to a passage of our despatch of the 18th June.
The Imperial Cabinet then only stated an elementary
truth. It is clear, in fact, that the assembling of a conference
with the object of negotiating with Russia becomes impos-
sible, if the party most directly interested, that with whom
it is precisely necessary to negotiate, declines to appear.
But we did not wish to be understood to indicate by this
reserve that we should approve the refusal of Russia to take
part in a conference.
As regards the proposal of a direct undertaking between
Austria, Prussia, and Russia, the Imperial Government
could not, as far as it is concerned, regard this combination
as admissible. We can only repeat here, on this head,that
the concert established between the Cabinets of Vienna,
Lennon, and Paris, with the view of facilitating a pacific
solution of the Polish question, forms between these three
Cabinets a bond from which Austria cannot now disengage
herself to negotiate separately with Russia and Prussia.
We have besides been obliged to repel the assimilation
which this proposal appeared to establish between the terri-
tories purely and simply incorporated with the Austrian Em-
pire, and the portion of ancient Poland constituted in 1815
into a State united to the Empire of Russia, but enjoying a.
distinct Administration.
The Emperor, our august master, has not hesitated to
spontaneously endow his Polish possessions with institu-
tions in harmony with present necessities and the progress
of the age.

and the measures which it recommended to Russia were not
in contradiction with the example which it has set in its own
dominions.
in the despatch of the 15th (27th) of July,
We further hasten to note with satisfaction the declara-
M. de Knorring, in which Prince Gortscha-
, kt readiooffn pc °troontr at
ne
t sbedyagainst the interpretation which we put upon
his proposition.

In fact it appears to me that the precedent of 1815 can-
not be successfully applied to existing circumstances,for the
Powers who signed the Acts of Vienna had not at that
period the title to intervene in the Polish question which
they now claim, and which originates precisely in these
very Acts.
In thus communicating our views to Prince Gortschakoff
there still remains an imperious duty for us to fulfil. It is
to call his most serious attention to the gravity of the situa-
tion and the responsibilities which it throws upon Russia.
Austria, France, and Great Britain have pointed out the
urgency of putting an end to a deplorable state of affairs full
of danger to Europe; they have at the same time indicated
the means which it appeared to them ought to be employed
to arrive at this end, and they have offered their concurrence
to attain it more surely.
If Russia does not do everything in her power to second
the moderate and conciliatory intentions of these three
Powers, if she does not follow the path pointed out to her
by amicable counsels, she exposes herself to the serious
consequences to which a prolongation of the disturbances in
Poland may lead.
' I desire you, Count, to read this despatch to Prince Gorts-
chakoff, and leave with him a copy of the same.—Receive,

A BARONET'S DAUGHTER AND GRANDCHILD IN
THE POLICE CELLS.—On Monday the Glasgow
police apprehended a woman, named Margaret Lindsay or
Cowan, on a charge of uttering base coin. When she was
brought to the police office on this charge, two detective
officers went to her lodgings in Alison-street, with the view
of making further inquiries regarding her. In the course
of their investigation they discovered, in the possession of
her mother; who occupied the same lodgings, two 'own
tickets—one for a table-cloth and the other for
sheet
pledged by her, while they were the property of their land-
lady. The owner, unaware of this transaction until this
discovery, at once committed her to the officers Her name
is Phillis Fettes, or Lindsay, daughter of the late Sir Wm.
Fettes, Bart., who, it is said, omitted to make a suitable
provision for her in his will, when arranging for the endow-
ment of an hospital at Comely Dank. The trustees on Sir
William's estate, however, gave her an allowance from the
funds under their control; but it is said that after the de-
cease of the late Lord Rutherfurd this was discontinued.
At length, after enduring several privations, and disposing
of all her marketable property, she, in a state of utter desti-
tution, pledged these articles for a few coppers. She pled
guilty to the charge, and was sentenced to 3') days' inipri-
sonmeat.--Zrarti? Brttisit
