vincial revolutionary committee for Lithuania has
published a reply to the Imperial Ukase granting
an amnesty, which says :—‘ As the object of the
insurrection is not to obtain concessions from the
Emperor, but to establish the independerce of the
whole of Poland within the frontiers, which existed
before its partition, the national struggle shall con-
tinue until the last Muscovite soldier has been driven
from these Polish provinces, or till the last Polish
army has ceased to fight.'"

a number of Albaniau brigands into the province
of Puglia.

In consequence of this information, the Italian
Government, after having despatched several men-
of-war to cruise off the Albanian coast, requested
the Porte to arrest the conspirators.
Upon a domiciliary visit being made at the house
of the Austrian Consul at Valona, a quantity of arms
and ammunition was discovered and seized.
Three individuals at the Austrian Consulate were
arrested.
