How long are the great Powers of Europe going
to iook on, to all appearance most apathetically,
while the Polish patriots are struggling fiercely,
spasmodically, for life and death, with the great
Russian Autocracy ? Remembering the history of
Poland, aware of the disproportion between the
opposing ranks of the belligerents—an inflexible
persistence on the part of the great Powers in the
application to this new phase of the Polish question
of the principle of non-intervention certainly does
seem not only cruel, it seems hardly less than crimi-
nal. While we write, this afternoon, there just now
comes to us as the latest telegram from the seat of
war, yonder in the north-east of Europe, the
announcement of yet another engagement between
the Imperialists and Insurgents. The contest in this
instance, we learn, took place on the 29th ult. at
Grochowy. The result—as so often before now
has proved to be the case, since this last popular
rising of the Poles commenced—turning out
decidedly is favour of the Insurgents. The
Russians, we read in the telegram, were defeated
by the Poles with great loss—that is on the 29th
of May, in the battle which then took place at
Grochowy in the Kaliez Palatinate. Not only
was this the result, but upon the next day, that
is upon last Saturday (this day week) the vic-
tory won by the Insurgents was repeated!
The Russians returning to the attack on
the following day, the 30th ultimo, were again
repulsed—this time at Slawiszyn ! And, as if this
renewed advantage gained over the Russians by the
Polish Insurgents were net sufficient to satisfy the
patriotic determination of the Atter, yet a third
contest took place, there, in that same Palatinate of
Koiisz on the very day afterwards, the 3.lst, that
is last _Sunday—several waggon-loads of Russiau
soldiers (we presume wounded) being driven across
the frontier of the Prdssian territories from the
direction of Brudz,3wo : there, when safely lodged
upon the Prussian soil, being hospitably received
by the local authorities and cantonned at Pleszewo.
Satisfactory though these tidings are in themselves
when we read that the Russians were again and
again defeated, the Polish insurgents again and
again being left by their imperial antagonists masters
upon the field of slaughter—one can never hear, at
the same time, of one single Polish victory without
a qualm of anxiety as to the result, of those same
tidings when brought to the Imperial councils at
St. Petersburg. There, in the Palace of the CZAR
—Mr. KINGLAKE has pointed the moral and
adorned the tale of this formidable
truth in regard to the Great Northern
Autocracy—there, in the Palace of the CZAR, at St.
Petersburgh, sits in his chamber the despotic ruler
of 60,000,000 of men. One who has bat to stretch
forth his hand, there, in that palace chamber wherehe
sits—who has but to stretch forth his hand, to ring a
bell, to utter or to breathe a few syllables, and
within a few seconds issue his mandate through the
electric wires to the extremities of his vast dominion !
Mandates setting in motion wherever and whither-
soever he pleases hundreds of thousands of armed
men—soldiers well armed and highly disciplined—
relay, by their concentration upon any given
point oin overwhelming numbers, to repair
this

Great Power, should appear to the CZAR himself,

It is not many years since ttTe
finances was the cause of serious co leata,
concern. GI
forebodings and dismal prophecies Gloomy
abounded, and
there were not wanting some who doubted ,
whether
it were worth while, in a monetary point of vieA
to retain possession of so unprofitable an empire.
But a few brief years have passed, and what do we
ee? By the wand of the two beneficent fairies
peace and prudent financial administration—the
deficit has been converted into a surplus. The
empty exchequer has been replaced by an elastic
revenue, and the Indian financier is enabled, after
reducing the obnoxious income tax by one-fourth,
lowering the duty on iron, and diminishing that on
beer to one half, to leave himself, in the new finan-
cial year, an unemployed sum of nearly half a mil-
ion. This large amount, which be retains unap-
propriated, will serve as a reserve fund to meet any
Possible emergency, or supply an unexpected defi-
cit ; or, better
it may be employed in develop-
ing the reaoure
