POLAND.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.
CRACOW, Aug. 15.

The most important event of the last week in
connection with tho Polish insurrection, is the cir-
culation of a paper dated Moscow, July 29, and
entitled, " Address from the Russian patriots to
their Polish brethren," among the inhabitants of al:
parts of Poland. This paper, although purporting

to be the production of the Russian patriots, is evi-
dently the work of the Russian Government ; and
while unmistakeably defining its policy towards the
Western Powers, shows how formidable the insur-
rection is to Russia. The following extracts will
give a tolerably clear idea of its meaning and
tendency :

" Six months have now elapsed since a murderous
struggle between kindred races has been raging in
our common country, and in which neither your
admirable bravery nor your perseverance and cell-
sacrifice have succeeded, even for a moment, in
bending the power of Russia. Do not wonder,
Polish brothers, that when you ignored your des-
tiny and your real interest, which commands you
to join us, our dearest Sovereign was forced to treat
you with the utmost severity. For it is to him that
Providence has entrusted the government of the
Sclavonic peoples, of which you are one, in order
that, after crushing, with their help, the chains of
all our kindred races, he may enter upon the great
work of resuscitating egotistical and doting Europe.
We, sharing the generous sentiments of the Czar,
hold out to you the hand of brotherhood and union)
believing that your political reason will not allow
you to reject it. Consider what are the fruits of the
conduct you have hitherto pursued, so inconsistent
with your destiny. You have shed your noblest
blood in vain, and destroyed your prosperity. In-
fluenced by intrigue, hopeless to conquer unaided,
you have raised your sacrilegious hands against our
common country, trusting only in the assistance of
you/ supposed friends, who are using both your
and our blood and your powerlessness and folly
with cold calculation for their own profit. For
what can you expect from those who, both before
and now, never proved by acts the reality of their
sympathy ? What do you expect from Austria,
who when you, the liberators of Vienna, held out
your hands to her for succour, only answered with
the crocodile tears of a bigot; who repaid the
wonderful generosity of Nicholas with ingratitude,
and is now using you as au instrument for retarding
the progress of Sclavonianism ? And, what from
France, ruled by a monarch who strives to uphold
an usurped throne and glory
with falsehood and
deceit ? Or from England, trifling with the desti-
nies of nations, and desiring to prevent the fulfil-
ment of the great destiny of the Sclavonians in the
east at your cost, and without expending a single
drop of her blood or a farthing of her money ?

".We do not desire amalgamation with you, but
union. In a Sclavonic state, united with us, is
alone your salvation, your glory, and your freedom.
In it alone will you find domestic happiness.
Polish brothers! listen to our words—yield to the
Sentence of Providence, give up your fatal dreams
and your vain hopes, Europe will not dare to
defy Russia to a mortal struggle in your behalf,
for the Europe which during the past century by
her silence consented to the destruction of your
political existence, can only in 18G3 raise her voice
to sanction a completed historical fact and defini-
tively acknowledge the rights of Russia, thereby
making your fate worse instead of better. Long
live Russia, Poland, and Sclavonia, one, entire,
powerful, and free."
