THE POLISH INSURRECTION.
POSEN, OCT. 30.
The Journal de Posen publishes the following
from Warsaw to the 27th October :
"It is asserted that the chiefs of the Jewish and
Catholic clergy have been arrested for having re-
fused to publish mandates similar to those extorted
by Gen. Mouravieff from the Bishop of Wolout-
chewski and the Rabbi of Wilna.

" Great excitement reigns in the city in conse-
quence of these arrests; they, however, in no
way discourage the National Government, which
fulfils its difficult mission with much firmness. It
has now issued instructions urging its fiscal agents
energetically to exert themselves in the realisation
of the national loan of 40 millions of florins. With
this object in view it has formed a central committee
in Warsaw. Functionaries whose salary is less
than 120 florins, and who contributed to the forced
loan, are exempted from the present loan. Those
inhabitants in possession of a fortune not exceeding
20,000 florins will make voluntary donations only.
Those persons whose fortunes are from 20,000 to
100,000 florins have to contribute to the loan in the
proportion of 1 per cent., fortunes of from 600,000
to 1,500,000 florins, 21- per cent., and above the
latter amount 3 per cent.

"Last night Mdlle. Joseph Cymermann, a young
girl of 18 years of age, daughter of a provincial
chemist, on a visit to her relatives in Warsaw, wab
arrested.

"Besides a great number of women transported
to Siberia, there are now 60 women in the citadel
of Warsaw. M. Strupezewski, a lithographer, was
also arrested last night, and when within the citadel
was cruelly beaten with rods, although the police
found nothing suspicious in his residence. A minute
search was made last night at 10 o'clock in the
palace of the Archbishop of Warsaw. Nothing
was found however.

" The Citadel and Siberia have already absorbed
so many victims that the streets begin to be deserted,
as if half the population were dead."

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, OCT. 29.

The rumour that the Duke de Grauamont will be
