ENGLISH POLICE OFFICERS in POLAND.

The correspondence relating to the " mission" of
two London pelice officers to 'Warsaw has been
published. On the 31st of July last, Baron Brun-
now, the Russian ambassador in Loudon, wrote to
Sir George Grey
" The Grand Duke Constantine, during his former stay
in this country, has been particularly impressed with thtt
beneficial influence which your police regulations exercise
for the maintenance of good order, legality; end public
security. His Imperial Highness is desirous of establish-
ing a similar institution in the kingdom of Poland, whose
welfare is entrusted now to his care by his Majesty the
Emperor. The Grand Duke is the more anxious to intro-
duce a useful reform into this branch of the public ser-
vice, as such a reform may enable him to put an end es
soon as possible to the now existing martial law, and to
replace the country under the rule of a regular civil ad-
ministraion. For this purpose the Grand Duke has
thought it highly important to secure for a very short
time (say two mouths) the presence at Warsaw of 'an in-
telligent an l active police officer, who might communi-
cate to the authorities there bis practical views on the
subject of the organisation of this branch of public ser-
vice on a similar footing as it is in this country. Taking
into consideration the importance of the c:ontempleted
reform, I do not hesitate to apply to you in the hope
that you will kindly lend me your assistance for carrying
it into effect as far as it is in your power. The first step
to be taken would be to allow Sir Richard Mayne to put
himself into communication with a gentleman to whose
care the Grand Duke has directly and privately entrusted
this object, so intimately connected with the success of his
own administration."

Superintendent Walker and Inspector Whicher
were cent out to Warsaw, and on the Bth Sept.
they sent home the following report to Sir R.
Mayne :
" We beg most respectfully to report, for the information
of the Commissi .ner, that we are still in daily communica-
tion with the authorities, who appear to be well pleased
with the information we convey to them. No change
has been made in the existing police system at present,
but we hope that by the latter end of the ensuing week
,our services will be dispensed with. Everything seems
very quiet, and no further attempts at assassination have
been made, although it is feared that similar acts will
be repeated, but every precaution is taken to prevent
them. Indeed, the Government appears to be in constant
apprehension. Our mission here is kept entirely secret
except to the three gentlemen we have been in communica-
tion with, that being deemed the most prudent course under
existing circumstances, as our personal safety might be en-
dangered by a wrong construction being placed on the
object of our visit."

Sir R. Mayne, in a letter to Sir George Grey,
nye the only instructions given to Walker and
Whither "were verbal to the following effect :
That they were to take with them all the printed
forms and reports showing the organisation of the
metropolitan police, and the mode of carrying on
their duties, and that they should give all the in-
formation in their knowledge on those subjects to
the persons with whom they should be put.in com-
munication."
