BROMBERG, JULY 16.

The Bronzberger Zeitung of to day publishes
news from Warsaw to the 13th instant, according
to which the National Government intended to
draw up a circular-note refusing to agree to the
six points of the three Powers, but being informed
that the Emperor Napoleon would pay no atten-
tion to their refusal, they have resolved to issue
manifesto to the people. This manifesto will
he published in the English, Fr,nch, German,

THE ARREST OF BRIGANDS AT GENOA

TURIN, JULY 15, Evening.

In the Chamber of I),paties to-day Signori La-
po:ta and Miceli, requested explanations from the
Government with respect to the late arrest of
brigand chiefs at Genoa.

Signor Minghetti desired that the question should
be postponed for an indefinite period.
Signor Miceli insisted upon fixing to-morrow,
stating that explanations were awaited with pro-
found emotion by the country. Signor Boggio
supported the pr position of Signor Minghetti,
desiring the indefinite postponeuaent of the subject.

when the Russians returned to Janow, which they
first pillaged, and then set on fire. At Ponik they
burnt the farm and all the houses of the village, aLd
killed six of the inhabitants. A few wounded Poles,
whom Chmielinski was unable to take away with
him, were thrown by the Russians into the flames.
The unfortimate people,when they attempted to save
their houses from destruction, were beaten, many
of them, to death, by the infuriated soldiery. A
Cossack, who had entered the house of a sweep and
set fire to it, murdered the child of a woman who
called for assistance, and wounded her severely. A
policeman and an innkeeper were also murdered.
The remainder of the inhabitants are wandering
about the roads and woods, begging for shelter
and food.

Yon are, no doubt, aware that Wielopolski has
left War,aw on leav:. His last offici,d act was
characteristic. It appears that, the Czar had asked
nim his opinion on the six points proposed by the
Western Powers. Wietopolski answered that he
did not see any reason why the Cz-tr should not
accept them, as if he did so that would not neces
sitate any alteration in the present state of thirgs
in Poland. Let the Powers judge how far Russia
may be trusted from this opinion of Wielopolski
on the six points.
