DEFEAT OF THE POLES.

PARIS, MARCH 21.

Despatches received at the Russian Embassy
here confirm the news of the defeat of Langiewicz,
who has been conveyed to Tarnow. The insur•
gents lost 400 killed, and 54 taken prisoners.
The Constigutionnel of this morning contains an
article on the Polish insurrection, signed by its chief
editor, M. Limayrac, who says therein :--
"If the defeat of the insurrection be confirmed,
fortune will offer a noble part to the Emperor of
Russia. It is amnesty which completes such vic-
tories, and the world would applaud the Czar if,
after having subdued the inaurrection by force, he
disarmed it by magnanimity."

CRACOW, MAEra 20, EVENING.

The following aro the details of the battle fought
between the Russians and the insurgents, com-
manded by General Langiewicz :
The battle commenced on the 18th inst., near
Zigoscie. The cavalry and waggons of the insur-
gents were dispersed, after a desperate fight.
Langiewicz and his staff disappeared from the field
during the engagement, which continued till dark.
The scythemen and Chasseurs, after holding
their ground to the last moment, under a heavy
fire, withdrew on the 19th inst. to Vislitza.
Langiewicz and his friends crossed the Vistula
and gave themselves up to the Austrian Hussars,
who conducted them to Tarnow.

The insurgents are rallying at Vislitza, and are
provisionally c. mmanded by Colonel Smeehowski.

LEMBERG, MARCH 21.

Langiewiez, with several officers of his staff,
arrived yesterday in Gallicia, and presented to the
authorities a French passport bearing a strange
name. After having replied to the questions which
were put to him, h 3 left without his identity being
discovered, but was afterwards brought by the
Austrian Hussars to Tarnow.

FRANCE.
PARIS, MARC 4 21.

The trial of MM. Calzado and Garcia, for cheat-
ing at cards, took place yesterday before the tri-
bunal of correctional police.

Calzado waa sentenced to 13 months', and Garcia
to 5 years' imprisonment.
The Constitutionnel remarks upon the vote of the
Senate, and appears satisfied with the speech of
11. Billault, declaring, at the same time, sympathy
with Poland and confidence in the Emperor. It is
impossible, it is said, to have shown with more elo-
quence and elevation of mind than did M. Billault
the feeling of the Government, and the Senate, in
agreeing to it, has evidenced once more its
patriotism and its wisdom.
The Opinion Nationale announces that a despatch
from Cracow declares that Langiewiez has gained a
new victory over the Russians, and that 10,000
men were engaged on both sides. The patriotic
cause engages more and more the population, and
no one can over estimate the significance of the re-
signation , of so many influential personages.
Poland, in aiding herself, has revived all the sym
pathies of civilised people. Public opinion mani-
fests itself in favour of this sacrificed nation. The
Steele says that the vote of the Senate does not ac-
cord with its wishes. We persist in thinking
for the reasons which we have already said,
that the first body in the State could have
done better. The demand we made reserved for
the Government the right of decision as well as
the order of the day could have done. Far from
awakening passions, it would have calmed them, it
would have given satisfaction to the public opinion,
without compromising the authorities.

POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
CRACOW, MARCH 17.

Yesterday morning a body of Russian troops,
consisting of two detachments of the Smolensk re-
giment, and same Cossacks and dragoons, entered
the village of Giebultow, situated a mile to the
north-east of Miechow, and belonging to M. Ladis-
las Bielski. This corps was commanded by a colo-
nel whose name I have been unable to ascertain.
One portion, which had already killed several per-
sons on the road, broke into the estate, where there
was not a single armed insurgent, only the proprie-
tor with his household, and a few visitors from the
neighbourhood. The soldiery seized 12 persons on
the estate, and, striking and wounding them,
dragged them into tt e inn of the village. Here a
terrible scene took place. The savage soldiers
amused themselves by stabbing their innocent vic-
tims with bayonets and lances, and laughed at their
cries and protestations. Three of them, including
M. Severyn Mieszkowski, died on the spot, and the
remaining nine were very severely, or mortally
wounded. Among these was M. Wiesiolowski, who
received several deep bayonet wounds, and is now
at Cracow, together with M. Katarzynski, an em-
ploye from Miechow, who had come to Giebultow oe
a visit. All the killed and wounded, except two of the
latter, who contrived to escape, were plundered by
the Russians. While this disgraceful scene was
being enacted, an officer named Lacroix stood calmly
looking on, together with other Russian officers.
The rest of the soldiers began to plunder the house
of the proprietor, but the colonel here first inter-
fered, and a Polish detachment just then being seep
to approach the village, the Russians took to flight,
leaving the wounded people behind them, who were
attended to by the Poles when they came up.

Almost at the same time another outrage was
committed by the Russians not far from Giebultow.
Mr. L. Finkenstone, a British subject, who had
crossed the frontier on the 14th with a passport,
signed by Enid Russell, dated 27th March, 1862,
and duly viscd by the Russian authorities, for the
purpose of buying corn, was stopped at a village
named Gorka. On being brought before the Rus-
sian commandant he showed his passport, and
although no arms, nor anything else calculated to
excite suspicion, were found either on him or on
the lady who accompanied him, he was informed
that it would be necessary to detain him, in order
that ho might give further explanations to Prince
Szadrowskoj. He was accordingly compelled to pass
the night on a waggon, which was guarded by a sen-
tinel against the attacks of the soldiery. During the
night several persons who had been arrested and
Wounded were also placed round the carriage.
Next morning (the lath) a body of roles attacked
the Russians
—the major in command defended
himself with half his men, the other half exclaiming,
" Kill the prisoners !" and in spite of the efforts of
lo officer, who
defended the prisoners with re-
'olver against the soldiery, these rushed on theii
rearmed victims, bayonet in Laud. Several were
