Copious reports continue to be received of the
progress of the revolt in Poland, and of the mea-
sures adopted by the Government to suppress and
scatter the bands of men still in arms throughout
the kingdom. On the one hand the Government
reports assert that but little opposition to the troops
is now met with, while independent sources of in-
formation continue to allege that considerable
bodies of insurgents are still assembled throughout
the kingdom, and that it will be a long time before
tranquillity is perfectly restored. An account from
Warsaw of the 28th ult., says
6, The National Committee now issue printed
orders and appeals. They summon all inhabitants
of the land capable of bearing arms to take part in
the revolt, and threaten those who oppose their
orders with the severest punishment. They still
proclaim equality to all, promise the peasants land
without rent, and state that they will pay the pre-
sent owners out of the national funds. They also
promise all who fight for freedom, or their suces-
sore, 100 acres of crown land at least, and repeal all
ukases and orders of the foreign rulers,' &a. A
clerical member of the Provisional Government has
preached a sermon from the text, Joel ii. 20—" I
will remove far from you the northern army."

"In the meantime the unfortunate revolt has
already demanded its victims. Whether the 70
people taken with arms in their hands in Szidlowce,
in the Government of Radom, have been already
shot is not yet stated, but the Margrave
Wielopol-
ski has used his utmost exertions to induce the
military chiefs to construe their instructions as
mildly as possible. Two of the officers in the Rus-
sian service of Polish birth, recently taken priso-
ners, have been sentenced by court-martial and have
been shot, and the sentence of death has been passed
on two others to-day in the citadel.

"It is announced that the recruits in the citadel
refuse to take the oath to the Russian flag, and that
they are threatened to be sent to the Siberian mines.
" Reports continue to circulate of manifestations
in favour of the proclamation of the Grand Duke
Constantine as King of Poland, and from the po-
pularity his imperial highness has gained such an
event is not considered improbable. On the other
hand, the most bitter feeling continues to be ex-
pressed against the Marquis Wielopolski. His
estate at Piaczew has already been devastated, and
the noble seat of his son has, it is affirmed, been
sacked, and a costly collection of arms and all the
money found there have been annexed."
The Warsaw correspondent of the Baltic Gazette,
also writing on the 28th ult., says :
" All here is quiet notwithstanding the martial-
law and the courts-martial, and indeed one might say
too quiet. A soldier is seldom seen in public before
nine o'clock at night, but no one has access to the
barracks, still less to the citadel. The reports re-
ceived up to this day are of a satisfactory nature,
and are in favour of the Government. Neither
Plock nor Radom, nor any other town is in the
hands of the insurgents. The attacks on Plock and
Bodzentyn were the most vigorously conducted;
but the insurgents would not stand the fire of the
troops, and after the first volley they dispersed and
sought safety by flying to the woods and there c m-
cealing themselves. The insurgents brought in
here are in a most deplorable plight. Half starved,
in rags, often without boots, they present the most
complete picture of misery. Of milit• ry habits,
discipline, regular arms, food, and pay, they know
nothing. For all eventualities the Grand Duke has
asked the Emperor for an army corps of 50,000 or
60,000 men. The army in the kingdom now
amounts to 80,000 or 90,000 men, but as Warsaw
needs a strong garrison, such an increase is not too
much."

The official journal of Warsaw, of the 27th ult.,
contains an extract from the report of Adjutant-
General Count Adlerberg, in which he describes
the attack on the town of Bodzentin by the insur-
gents. It appears from this document that at the
tolling of the bells in the Catholic churches more
than 600 men, armed with very long knives, fell
simultaneously on the quarters of the officers and
men, and after a short struggle they succeeded in
killing one officer and several soldiers, and in wound-
ing others. The rebels consisted of men from vari-
ous places in the vicinity. The general praises the

"I am persuaded that we shall never substitute
our French wines in the English market for the wines
of Spain and Portugal, for two reasons—first, the
English prefer, both from taste and necessity, their
old wine made so strong as to be in fact eau-de vie.
I have some relations with that country; I have
tasted their formidable port. I could drink it
only in a liqueur glass, and I found it very little
else than eau-de-vie. Secondly—You will say that
we can strengthen our wine also ; but you know that
it is forbidden to do so in nearly all our depart-
ments, and even here, on the pretext that mixing
brandy with wine would lower the town dues of
Paris. Moreover, we should not adulterate our best
wines, for it would destroy the bouquet. The Eng-
lish will always drink our wines as a luxury, and not
from taste. Our wine trade has suffered a conside-
rable moral check in the English market, for we
send to England very bad wines. Urge the expor-
tation of eaux-de-vie and cognac brandies, always
first class. In these articles there will be a great
deal done, though the cost is enormous, as a litre of
brandy arrives in London with a cost of 3f. 60c.
carriage and customs included. We might find in
our old, strong bodied and very dry Roussillon a
counterpart for their superior port."
On this letter the Avenir Commercial remarks
that there is no question, and there never has been
a question, of substituting in the English markets
French wines for Spanish and Portuguese, which
are more adapted to the English palate. Those who
drink them to-day will drink them to-morrow, even
if French wine merchants adulterate their wines
with brandy. Moreover, this adulteration is a fraud,
and fraud should not be recommended. There is room
in England for French as well as for Spanish and
Portuguese wines. There is one point, however,
on which the writer of the letter is quite correct;
the French have, in fact, sent their poorest wines
to England, " and this is precisely the reason," the
Avenir says, " that the English do not buy them,
and they do well." The best Bordeaux wines sent
direct to the great English houses are sold at enor-
mous prices. The English will consume quite as
much as they have done; they will do so because
the best wines placed in sure hands are protected
against fraud, and saved from all accidents and
adu,terations. Frenchmen who visit England pre-
fer drinking beer to the bad wine they get at
hotels—wine worse than might be hod in a Paris
suburban winesb op.
Why should the English like
what even the French reject ?
" If, then, we do not sell our wines in England
as should be the case since the Commercial Treaty,
we must not say it is the fault of the English, but
rather our own. Let us begin by sending a good
article, and if the English do not know how to
treat our wines in their docks, or in their merchant
stores, let us send them skilful operatives to do for
them what they do for us, and the superiority of
our merchandise will secure it purchasers and con-
sumers."
