POLAND.
A POLISH INSURGENT'S VIEW OF THE
DIPLO,MATIC TRANSACTIONS RESPECTING
POLAND,

It AWA, MAY,
_1863.

Four months have now passed since the com-
mencement of the insurrection. If in eight days
we do not hear of a new mas,acre, if the news of
movements in the country beyond the Dnieper should
be confirmed, we may look with less anxiety for
foreign aid. Would to God we could do without
this company of buffoons who are the head of the
Governments of the West ! While warlike action
is imperatively necessary, they play like children
with empty words. Nor is this all. All their
sympathy is but a Judas kiss. They guard jealously
their thirty talents, and betray us the while. They
are constantly labouring solely to legalize that
brutal and often repeated partition of Poland. They
prate of tbe holiness of treatiee. Hypocrites !

To-day's Patrie says:—
" We learn by a letter from CrEcow, dated l'ith
May, that it is reported there that the Prussians
have entered the territory of the Kingdom of
Poland; it is added that the Austrians were about
to do the same, and that the Russian troops would
retire into the fortresses. The Prussians would
occupy the country as allies of Russia, and the
Austrians as representatives of the three Great
Powers which intervene diplomatically in our
favour."

All honour to diplomacy !
This news, whether true or false, deserves very
great attention, for it shows that the lovers of peace
think of stopping the bloodshed and causing an
armistice—no easy problem, under the circum-
stances in which Poland is now. It is not strange,
therefore, that the very practical way, above al-
luded to, of solving that problem should be to the

taste of the wiseacres of the West. No need to use
their treasures, their armies, and their ships; all
r; ill be settled in the simplest manner on the spot
without much cost co.• trouble, and the honour of the
three allied criminals will be saved. The require-
ments of humanity will, moreover, be satisfied;
peace will be re-established, and Europe, free from
all anxiety, be enabled to turn with a free mind to
her dear Conferences.

We may, therefore, really foreseo an armed in-
tervention, not in our favour, but in that of Russia
and her two allies in crime. Its object will be, not
to wipe out the crime of the partition, but more
strongly to establish its consequences. It will be
employed in a restoration of order, more properly
so called than that immortalised by Sebastiani, for
it will be a restoration of the " order" which was
established in 1796.

To disarm us and give us up a prey to the three
plunderers is, then, the intention of these Judtises
of the West. So much for the justice and sense of
right of the NINETEENTH CENTURY !
