POLAND.
(FROM OUR OWN C(RRESFONDENT.)

WARSAW, JULY 24.
As if to perpet nate the system of Russian tyranny
which even the presence of the Grand Duke Con
stantine, and his unceasing promises of reforms, has
in no way changed, a conspiracy has been dis
covered among the students, in consequence of
which fresh arrests have been made. It is said
ih.tt the inoividuals arrested are the membeisof the
" Union Society," which has its ramifications
throughout Poland, and in the Russian army. A
committee of inquiry has of course been instituted,
with lioeral salaries, and en unlimited authority to
employ secret police, in the investigation of this
new plot; hence every rich pers n is at their mercy,
as the police must, by hook or by crook, bring some
offenders before the tribunal.
I am inceined to think that by far the more
serious part of this affair lies in the Russian army,
for there the conspiracy is making gigantic
strides, and no day passes without the impri-
sonment of the , officers and soldiers. A
very short time ago ten non-commissioned offi-
cers of the infantry regiment stationed at Lowicz,
have been transported to the Steppes of Orenburg
for the part taken in the political agitation. They
were accompanied to the railway station by more
than 100 privates, where a moo, affecting scene took
place—the soldiers sobbing and shedding tears as
they were bidding adieu to their exiled comrades.
This event is a convincing proof of the prevailing
dissatisfaction in the Russian army. If this state
of things continue, if the Government, ever hesitat:
ing, will not boldly enter on the path of reform,
it will soon fiod itself totally powerless..
A like feeling of disgust and mistrust pervades
the Polish population ; tor, in spite of the arrival
of the Grand Duke, the character of the Government
has undergone no alteration. Instead of removing
the bad, the authorities delight in exercising the
greatest severity, and practising the same cruelty
as in the days of Gortchakoff and Luders. Yester-
day two brothers, Wzculski, very rich and respec-
table gentlemen, were suddenly carried away
by the police from the Hotel de Rome, where
they were staying. The elde,t son of Mr. J•=ski
the town councitlor, and Mr. Henry SzAniawski,
were also arrested. The citadel was so full of pri
sonars that a large portion of them had to be trans-
ferred to the fortress of Modlin. Besides the Polish
prisoners, one nomcommis,ioned officer and six
Russian soldiers, from the Fire Brigade, have been
lodged in the cast-mates, and an eificer from the
garrison at Wioclawak has been brought under a
heavy escort.

From the official returns that have come under
my notice, I find that the number of persons
arrested in Warsaw, from the Ist of January to the
20th of July last, was 14,853 ; most of whom were
for trivial otE•nuep, such as wearing forbidd""
dress, sticks, for giving a black look to a soldier c r
a police agent, and other similar acts. They wer' ,
with some exceptions, after a period of incarcer,-
'lion, released ; but this only shows how lrmen.-
able must be the machinery of the Government,
when, in a population of 160,000, which is that o'
Warsaw, nearly 40,000 are dragged to prison
annually. Can such a Government pr,tend to an -
thing like stability, or to ne respected either
here or abroad?

-.gent voluntarily caused the death of a young boy,
who was bathing in the Viatula, by ordering him
o come out. The poor boy, afraid of falling into
he paws of the policeman, refused to come out,
when the latter took his boots off, jumped into the
river to seize the boy, who, proceeding deeper and
deeper, was carried down by the stream and
frowned. Such are the benevolent offices of the

Tile other day a gentleman was noticing some-
thing in his pocket-book when a policeman :seized
it o❑ the ground of suspicion, but was soon over-
powered by the owner. In he struggle a bank-
note for 1,000 florins fell out of the pocket-book,
which the policeman got hold of and ran away
with. As a policeman here cannot be accused of
theft the gentleman gave up all hope of prosecuting
the delinquent. Another gentleman, connected
with the telegraphic office at the Royal castle,
jumped out of a window and killed himself, for
some political reason. These are ominous symp-
toms, which ought to open the eyes of the Govern-
ment.
General Lisden left Breslau to place himself there
under some eminent doctor. He will remain •a
cripple if he ever recovers. His speech is so diffi-
cult that he hardly can be understood. Previous
to his departure he addressed a letter to the Mar-
quis Wielopolski (whom he always hated) thank-
ing him for his co operation in the public service—
a iece of hypocrisy—and another to Count Andrew
Z imoyski. '1 his last not having been published,
its contents are unknown.
larozywski, who fired at the Grand Duke Con-
stantine, is to be tried by the Senate, and a few
favoured persons will be allowed to be present at

A j .urnal tilled the Mourement, that is printed
and circulated clandestineiy in Warsaw, contains
an srticle on the recent demonstrations of Scandi-
navian nationaliey in Sweden, hailing them as ad-
ditional proofs of an increasing hosti►ity to Russia.
It says that the Poles regard the anniversary of the
battle of Pultowa as the memorial of a defeat, not
for Sweden only but for Poland also.
