TURKEY,

Constantinople letters and journals to the 10th
haie 'reached us. The official intelligence from
Montenegro, published by the Turkish press, rune
thus :

" The Imperial troops remain in what is con-
sidered a favourable position on the heights of "Vika,
to allow the Senate to deliberate on the last ulti-
matum of the Serdar Ekrem. The propositions of
the latter are :-1. The formation of a military road
from the side of Scutari and Herzegovine to Cet-
tigne. 2. The erection of block houses in the
Mountain gorges. 3. Permission to the Montene-
grins to obtain all supplies from Spitza, excepting
arms and munitions of war. 4. The Ottoman Go-
vernment is disposed to grant, in its territory, land
to Montenegrins for cultivation, on condition of
their submission to the law and to exempt them
from the capitation tax in th 3 same manner as the
Tartar and other immigrants. 5. The payment of
the tribute to be done away with."
The following items of general intelligence are
taken from the Levant Herald :
" His Highness Said Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt,
who arrived in his steam yacht Feizi-Djihat two
days back, has taken up his quarters in the yal iof
Tchapara Oglon in Arnaout-kepi, which has been
placed at his disposal by order of Government.
The Viceroy, a few hours after his arrival, pro-
ceeded to the Palace of Dolma Baktche to pay his
respects to the Sultan."

POLAND.
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.

WARSAW, SEPT. 13.
Another of those acts, which are performed
here solely with a view to impress Europe with
the clemency of the Czar to his Polish subjects, has
been published in the official journal Dziennik
Powizechny. It is an order from the Grand Duke
Constantine, purporting to raise the state of siege
in the Government of Radom. To understand
this so-called concession, von must be aware that
in March, 1833, the late Emperor Nicholas placed
the country in a military state of siege, which still
remains in force ; but on the 14th of October,
1861, Count Lambert, then Governor of Poland,
thought it necessary to proclaim another state of
siege, no doubt to recall to the inhabitants the pre-
vious one, by adding to it sundry regulations, such
as making a policeman or a corporal billeted in a
village master of the lives of the poor peasants. The
object, therefore, of the present ukase, so very exclu-
sive as to apply only to certain districts, is to release

them from some petty vexations of the police, and
leaves the country where it was placed by the ukase
of March, 1833. This explanatio❑ was necessary,
because the Oerman press, so inimical to the Po_e,,
displays all its imaginary powers to pourtray, ou
that account, the Russian system in Poland as
couleur de rose. The document itself is as fol-

lows :—•-•

The Grand Duke Namiestnik of hie Imperial 11,1ajesty in
the Kingdom of Poland.

"In pursuance of the orders of his Imperial Majesty, the
state of siege was proclaimed in the Kingdom of Poland,
with the view of insuring the peace of the inhabitants and
the restoration of order, on the 2d (14th) October, 1861, by
the Commander-in-Chief of the Ist army, and the acting
Namiestnik,

"Being now satisfied of tho possibility of raising this
state of siege, in power of the authority given to us by his
Imperial Majesty, we direct as follows :

" Art. 1. The state of siege established on the 2d (14th)
October, 1861, is abolished in the provinces of the Govern-
ment of Radom, viz., Radom, Sandomir, Opoczyn, Opatow,
Kielce, Miechow, Olkusk, and Stopni, but not in the towns
of Radom and Kielce, in which the state of siege shall con-
tinue in force until further orders.

" Art. 2. The rights and dutiesof the military commander
of the district of Radom shall be regulated, in the towns of
Radom and Kielce, by the instructions issued in the an-
nonncement of the 2d (11th) October, 1861, concerning the
state of siege; but in all other places in the Government of
Radom these rights and duties shall be regulated by the in-
structions issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ist
army and Namiestnik on the 26th March, 1861, for military
commanders, before the proclamation of the state of siege.
" Art, 3. The rules regarding the possession of arms ate
to remain in full force.

"Art. 4. The ukase of the 11th (23d April), 1833, plac-
ing political offences within the jurisdiction of military tri-
bunals, shall also continue in force.
"Art. 5. The chief of the civil Government and the
military commanders in the kingdom are charged with the
execution of this decree.

" CONSTANTINE,"

Beyond this affected boon, everything is as be-
fore—daily arrests without the slightest provoca-
tion, and ceaseless tyranny of the military, who,
half drunk, attack every one in the streets. The
other day, on the occ sion of the arrival in this city
of the Duke and Duchess of Mecklenburg-Streh-
litz, a shoemaker, named Lewis Zaknoski, hap-
pened to be walking in the streets with ilia wife.
Suddenly separated from his wife by the crowd, he
ran alter her, when he was seized by the Cossacks,
belaboured with their whips, and imprisoned. In
vain did the poor man try to establish his inno-
cence. He was taken before Fedoran, chief of the
Police, and sn cruelly flogged in his presence as to
doubt whether he will survive. Talk now of the
abolition of the corporal punishment in Russia by
the Emperor, so much trumpeted in the German
journals.
The head of our Civil Government, the old Mar-
quis Wieiopolski, is sufferiog from great nervous..
ness,which has assumed almost alarming symptoms.
He fancies himself to be always pursued by some
miscreant thirsting for his blood, and is never
without a pistol in his pocket, even in his
own house. A few days ago, when presid-
ing at the board of the Finance Committee,
he was being presented with a parcel of papers, he
thought he had seen the gun aiming at him, and he
drew out a revolver from his pocket in self.defence,
till disabused of this extraordinary vision. His
chief occupation is still to wage war with the hats,
being desirous of forcing every one to wear the
ordinary cylindrical hat prescribed by his order.
This exposes him to be made a laughing-stock of
the population, who naturall) do as they like in
this respect; the public functionaries, however, are
compelled to conform to this most absurd and
tyrannical regulation, as disobeying it is tanta-
mount to a dismissal from office.

The new Minister of the Interior, Count Keller,
has just entered upon his functions. At his in-
stallation the absence of the Marquis Wielopolski
was noticed. The new Minister is a Russian pro-
tege, and has been appointed to the no small
surprise of all here. He pronounced an address,
or rather read it, full of promises, as all the
Russians do, of which nothing is expected. His
predecessor, M. Krzyniski, who fulfilled his duties
per interim, is a man of great ability, and has
accomplished much for the benefit of education
within a short space of time.
