The French Consul was not present at the recep-

THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND.

CRACOW, APRIL 13.

News received here this evening from Warsaw
announces that the amnesty of the Czar has pro-
duced no effect, and that the insurrection will con-
tinue.

The Czas, in an extraordinary edition issued this
evening, publishes despatches stating that notes
were despatched to the Powers from St. Petersburg
simultaneously with the issue of the Czar's mani-
festo granting amnesty to the Polish insurgents.
The Czas says :

" This step was taken with the object of prevent-
ing intervention. The manifesto does not promise
to change the state of things which brought about
the revolution. It only returns to the position exist-
ing before the 22d of January, neither more nor less
—the position which drove the Poles to armP. How
will the country and the Powers accept the mani-
festo ? It is not for us to reply, but it is doubtful
whether the Powers will be content. The insur-
rection will reply in the name of the whole coun-
try. By fixing the term of the Ist of May for lay-
ing down arms the amnesty, in fact, recognises the
insurrection, imposes upon the Powers the obliga-
tion of recognising it as a belligerent party, and
may raise hopes of an armistice.'
BRESLAU, APRIL 13.

The _Tit eslauer Zeitung of to-day, in its second
edition announces that an
engagement has taken
place between the Russians and the insurgents near
Kolo and Bonin, in which the Russians were
defeated.
The same journals state that the insurgents have
greatly increased in numbers in that district.

AUSTRIA.
(Front Correspondent of the Vines.)
VIENNA, April 11.

To-morrow, or on the following day, an Austrian
Note concerning Poland will be despatched to St.
Petersburg. " Austria," says my informant, "can
make no demands on Russia, but her Minister for
accessary Foreign Affairs will appeal to the magnanimity of
the Emperor Alexander, and express a hope that
he will
be
forpl beasreidngtig about a lasting pacification
ontake such measures as may be
of the Polish provinces of his empire." Ou the same
authority it may be stated, that somewhat similar
Petersburg.noteawil l be
Insentthe
Augsburg Gazette of yesterday to England and France to St.
it is said that the Austrian note will first be pre-
sented to the Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
but there is some reason to believe that the repre-
sentatives of England, France, and Austria will
call on Prince Gortechakoff at one and the same
time. The Vienna diplomatists do not expect that
Russia will yield to the pressure to which she is
about to be subjected, and some of them express a
fear that the Polish question will lead to a Euro
pean war. The General Correspondence, the semi-
official organ of the Austrian Government, says that
the Duke de Gramont never told Count Rechberg
that " a powerful and independent Polish monarchy
would be the best bulwark that Austria could ha'e
against Russia ;" but he did so, and that more than
once. The paper in question also states that it the
Western Powers should demand the restitution of
Cracow, "a change in the policy of Austria would be
almost inevitable ;" but such a menace deserves no
.ttention, as it can never be the question of a sin-
cere reconciliation between Russia and Austria. It
the latter should propose to Russia to re-furm the
Holy Alliance the offer would doubtless be eagerly
accepted ; but at the first favourable opportunity
Austria would be made to pay dearly for her double-
dealing. England is the only Power on whose
friendship Austria can now rely, and the Emperor
Francis Joseph and the members of his Cabinet are
quite as well aware of the fact as I am.

SPAIN.
The Madrid Gazette of the 9th contains a long
account of the ceremonial which took place on the
previous day in the chapel of the Palace, when the
Queen delivered to Mgr. Luis de la Lastra y Cuesta,
the new Archbishop of Seville, the cardinal's hat
which had been brought to Spain by the Papal
Legate, Mgr. Casali del
Drago. After the Papal
brief had been read, the legato in a brief address
informed the Queen that his Holiness felt the
utmost satisfaction in conferring the dignity of a
cardinal on a prelate so distinguished for his learn-
ing and virtues as the new Archbishop of Seville,
and concluded with expressing his ardent wishes
for the happiness of her INlajesty and the prosperity
of Spain. The Queen replied :
" Senor Legate—Scarcely has an illustrious
Spanish cardinal, the fourth who had been invested
with the sacred purple by the favour of the Sove-
reign Pontiff who row directs the Church, de-
scended into the tomb, when the inexhaustible
kindness of his Holiness towards Spain has replaced
him by his successor the Archbishop of Seville,
whose wisdom will ever be the honour and glory of
our ecclesiastical annals. lam delighted that the
choice of his Holiness, for bringing the cardinal's
