CRACOW, Nov. 7_

The C.-As publishes the following from Polish
Livonia :—" The intelligence received from all parts
of Lithuania is excellent. The insurgent corps in
Samagitia and in the districts of Lowno, Tooki,
Wilkomir, and Jeziorsk, are preparing for the win-
ter campaign. Their main efforts are directed to
procuring men, horses, and ammunition.
" The Livonian insurgents, shut in upon all sides
by the Muscovites, separated from Samagitia by a
long distance, have no assistance and no reinforce-
ments to expect from any quarter. It is, there-
fore, more difficult for them than for others to
operate in arms, as, in the event of a reverse, they
would have nowhere to seek retreat. Far, however,
from allowing ourselves to be discouraged, we shall
fight energetically for the national cause, either i❑
arms or by passive resistance, and by active propa-
ganda among the rural population."

PORTUGAL.

SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday Morning.

The screw steamship Tartar, Captain J. W.
White, from Lisbon on the 4th inst., and Vigo the
6th, has arrived, on her way to London. During
the voyage she has had strong easterly winds. 'l'h•
Tartar brings five passengers, a few bags of mails,
£660 in specie, 10 live bullocks, 2,056 half chests of
oranges, 976 bundles of cork, 41 boxes of plums,
115 cases of eggs, and sundries.
The Tartar does not bring any political news of
importance from Portugal. The Duke of Louie, Pre-
sident of the Council, had recovered from his recent
illness, and resumed his attendances at the Depart-
ments for Foreign Affairs and Public Works.
M. Braamcamp, Minister of the Interior, had
taken charge of the portfolio of Justice during the
temporary absence of M. Gaspar Pereira da Silva.
Their Majesties and the Prince Royal of Portugal
are represented in excellent health, and had ap-
peared frequently in public driving through the
city of Lisbon.

The exchange on London was quoted on the 4th
inst. at 537 to I, for three months. Portuguese
stock, 491 to 50; and Bank of Portugal shares,

Application of Langiewicz to the Austrian

Government.

CRACOW, Thursday.— fhe ex-Dictator Langie-
wicz has addressed the following application to the
Austrian Government from Josephstadt, his place
of confinement :

" When the Prussian Government, by its orders
of the 17th September last, released me from obli-
gations as its subject, it recognised at the same time
by that act that, notwithstanding the convention of
the ath of February, I have not incurred liability to
punishment, either by the Prussian code or by the
law of nations, through my participation in the
rising, and also have no right to be handed over to
Russia. The expression in the said order, for the
purpose of your emigration to Switzerland,' shows
that the Prussian Government believes it will in
no degree violate international engagements with
Russia by permitting my removal to Switzer-
land. I believe, therefore, that the Austrian
Government also will not infringe international
stipulations by permitting my immediate dept.-
ture to Switzerland. At the sitting of the Lower
House of the Reichsrath upon June 23 the Police
Minister said that the Austrian Government could
not issue passports to the insurgents, as it possessed
no guarantee they would not return to the Beene of
action,' and also persons requiring protection must
submit to the conditions upon which such protection
is afforded. This declaration can no longer apply
to me, as the Prussian order of dismissal permits
my departure for Switzerland. Besides English,
French, Italian, Swiss, and Prussian subjects have
been continually released from Austria without any
security that they would not return to the scene of
action. By its consent to my journey to Switzer-
land the Prussian Government acknowledges that
a neutral and even friendly State is not bound
to require a guarantee that an insurgent permitted
to visit Switzerland should not return to the theatre
of war. If, therefore, the Austrian Government
will not do me the favour of dismissing me to Swit
zerland, I shall find myself compelled by the course
adopted towards me in Austria to ask that I may
be specially delivered up to the Russian authorities.
Without discussing whether my crossing the fron-
tier upon the 19th March was in the hope of finding
an asylum, or whether my imprisonment in a for-
tress is an asylum, an i whether my repeated re-
quests for dismissal to Switzerland do not afford
proof that I seek no asylum in this country, I trust
I may be allowed to hope that the high Ministry
will be graciously pleased either to assent to my
departure for Switzerland, or to my being handed
over to the Russian authorities."

THE LIBERATOR'S LAST DAYS.—The death
of that great man was attributed to various
causes; among others, to the effect which his imprisonment
in 1844 had upon him, mentally and physically ; and also
to the influence which the disasters of his country produced
upon a man of a highly impressionable nature, and one
who so thoroughly identified himself with its fortunes.
Then there was the sudden break up which usually takes
place in men of gigantic frame and prodigious strength of
intellect and body, the moment the first symptoms of decay
are manifested. The consciousness of his having been
worsted—even though temporarily—in his struggle with
the Government of the day, must have had a depressing
effect upon the successful leader, who had so long and so
justly boasted that he could " drive a coach and six through
any Act of Parliament;" but the deprivation of his health-
ful mountain exercise, enjoyed amidst the wild and
romantic scenery of his native Iveragh, must also
have told terribly on his health. O'Connell de-
lighted in the music of his dogs, as it echoed amid the
hills, and he loved the grand roar of the Atlantic, as its
waves broke in thunder upon the rocky headlands that girt
his home of Derrynane; and not all the flattering addresses
which he received from every parish of Ireland, not all the
sympathy which was felt from one end of the country to
the other for the imprisoned chief, could compensate him
for those fresh breezes of the hill and the sea-shore, which
made his blood dance in his veins, and his heart feel young
agaie. Then came the failure of 1845, and the crushing of
1846, to say nothing of the struggles and contentions iu
which the Apostle of Moral Force was continuously en-
gaged with the advocates of the Sword. With the sorrows
and the misfortunes of his country, a man like O'Connell
could not but sympathise heart and soul ; and the contem-
plation of the ruin which no effort of his could either arrest
or prevent, must have tended to bow his spirit and depress
his vital energy. The grand old tree was struck by the
lightning, and it fell with a crash to the earth, causing a
shudder through the land.—ilaguire's " Life of Father
Mathew."
THE NEW NILE EXPEDITION under Miani is
about to be accomplished. The Austrian Govern-
ment has, it appears, directed its whole attention to the
s'lution of the old mystery of the Caout which it d
ohs
not believe completely cleared up by Spoke. Not only the
ammunition and arms for which Miani has asked, but a
considerable amount of money out of the coffers of the state
have been promised to the new explorers
