WARSAW, MAY 1.

Much stress has been laid by the Russian organs
in Germany and Belgium upon an act of amnesty
proclaimed on the anniversary of the birthday of
the Emperor Alexander 11., by which 89 political
prisoners have been pardoned, and 14 had their
sentences commuted to a shorter period of captivity
or to a transfer from one to another penal locality.
When it is remembered that out of many hundreds
of persons whom the Muscovite authorities have
most illegally imprisoned and sent into the depth
of Russia, only so small a number have been set at
liberty, the value of the Imperial clemency must
necessarily diminish in the eyes of every just and
impartial mind. To this let it be added, that the
document in question in no way alters the actual
system of lawless government and most despotic
conduct—that the whole Polish nation still re-
mains at the mercy of the military governors, whose
well known barbarity can at any moment decide
the fate of the most innocent inhabitant in
short, this so-called amnesty is another proof of the
numberless victims of the Russian tyranny in this
unhappy country.
Be that as it may, the Poles will, with joyful
hearts, hail the return from imprisonment or exile
their most cherished citizens and prit sts, such as
Canon Bialobrzeski, Stecki, Dziaszkowski, Tesko,
the Lutheran pastor Otto, the opulent merchant.
Szlenker, and the bootmaker Hiszpaniki ; whose
departure for the land of their suffering, as much
of their return therefrom, will be one national
triumph. it is only to be regretted that among
those mentioned the Poles will be deprived of wel•

coming again the much esteemed and distinguished
Israelite preacher, Isaac Kramstyk, upon whom
the Imperial grace has performed a kind of chassez
croiser, by transferring him from the fortress of
Bobrujsk to the prison of Tobolsk. One sure and
good result may be expected from this amnesty,
that the return of some will only increase the inten-
sity of feeling for those who are still left pining in
the damp and unhealthy dungeons of Russia.
Close upon this so much talked of Imperial kind-
ness follows another official document, published
in the official gazette (liziennik Powszechny) sen-
tencing fifteen persons arrested on the 10th of
April, before the St. John's Cathedral, to be confined
in the casemates of the fortress Nowogieorgiewsk.
The names of all have not transpired ; but one of
them, M. Wikarski, medical student, having been
taken up in the streets on the 11th, by a police
agent, on the ground of being in the cathedral the
day before, offered to prove by witnesses that he
was quite in a different place at the hour mentioned
by the agent—this Colonel Flatzfeld, director of
the Police, would not admit stating that the only
persons worthy of credit are to be found among the
members of the police. Another gentleman, Francis
Gcdlewski, was arrested while getting out of a cab
to enter the Church, and, without being told why
and for, dispatched with others beyond the fron-
tic.it sof his native land. The names of other pri-
soners are Lange, Plewaka, Kloczewski, Czarneski,
Soldenoff, Okocki, Tanikowski, Sobczynski,
Gladowski, Godlewski, Podsiclowski, and Mic-
kiewicz. This last named, having been formerly
an officer in the Russian army, has been sent before
a Court Martial.

The Governor-General Luders, the Marqu;.s
Wielopolski, the members of the C Pancil of St Ate,
Kruzenstern, Enoch, Szwecon, and Satinoff, have
been called by telegraph to St. Petersbwrgh, and
started immediately. This sudden and unexpected
order is interpreted in many ways ; the probable
cause of it seems the great and unpardonable delay
in the affairs of the Council of State, whose trans-
actions are constantly opposed by the Russian
members, so much so that the Emperor himself
begins to perceive the grounds on which the Poles
rest their opposition and dissatisfaction. It is
reported that the Marquis Wielopolski paid a
lengthened visit to Count Andre Zamoyski, and
prevailed upon him to accept the portfolio of the
Ministry of the Interior. Those intimately acquain-
ted with the great Polish patriot and leader of the
national cause appear to know nothing about the
matter; and the dignified character of Count Andre
is a guarantee that he would not undertake any
public office, however exalted, without seeing in it
some public benefit.

The election of the officers of the Land Credit
Society, which occurs every three years, took place
here a few days ago. Mr. Laszo3 nski, Civil Gover-
nor of Warsaw, opened the proceedings by giving
a succinct sketch of the rise, progress, and the
flourishing condition of this institution, established
for the purpose of affording facilities for the trans-
fer of land by means of mutual credit, and in the
course of his address, paid an eloquent tribute to
Count Lubicnski, who, after more than 30 years of
service retires, and to the great and effectual co-
operation of Count Andre Zamoyski, as President
of the committee of the above sue:ety.

side is not confirmed. _ _ _

commenced the bombardment of Fort Jackson,
below New Orleans, on the 23d inst. One thousand
shells had fallen in the fort, The Confederatt's
think that the ammunition of the Federals must
soon fail. They assert that they can stand the
bombardment as long as the Federals, and have
confidence in their ultimate success.
The bombardment continued at last accounts.

The Confederates have cut through the Levee on
the Arkansas side of the Mississippi, thereby flood-
