POLAND.

(From a Corespondent of the Morning Herald )

The heroic efforts of the Polish peasantry for the
delivery of their country from the common enemy.
begets a feeling of gratitude towards them, on the
part of the landholders, which promises to change
entirely the condition of that most useful class at no
distant period. Many of the nobility have already
spontaneously abolished all remnants of former ser-
vitude ; and the Senator Francis Nawaski has de-
clared each soldier belonging to his large estates,
and returning, after the campaign, with a certificate
of good behaviour, to be entitled to a freehold
property of 50 acres of good arable land, besides a
cottage and 100 florins, for the purchase of agricul-
tural implements: Donations for the support of the
army in the field, and the sick and wounded, flow in
from all parts of the old Polish provinces and the
noble inhabitants of Prussian Poland assist zealously
their brethren, in spite of the ukase issued against
that much injured nation, disgracing the Prus-
sian name merely for the sake of a family
connection between the Emperor of Russia
and the Royal Family of Prussia. The time,
however, is not far distant when the Court of
Prussia will pay dear for its shameful violations of
ail feelings of decency and humanity. The Poles
are at this present moment as strong as ever; they
have now 100,000 men, regular troops, under arms,
besides the new levy of 30,000 recruits. Their
fortresses, Zamosc, Modlin, and particularly Praga,
are impregnable, and 100,000 Russians would now
he insufficient to conquer Warsaw. The dissatis-
faction with Diebitsch is already beginning to ope-
rate on the mind of his master. His whole army
consists of 80,000 men, besides 24,000 men under
General Toll, in the neighbourhood of Lublin. It
is only for the supplies brought him from Prussia,
under Me escort of Prussian soldiers, that he could
maintain himself so long in the position he now oc-
cupies in the north-east part of the kingdom of Po-
land. It is little known that, on his entering
Poland, lie had been appointed by his master Go-
vernor-General of the kingdom, with unlimited
power, and the Provisional Members of his Coun-
cil, consisting of some slaves of the Autocrat's
Court, arid three degenerated natives of Poland,
had actually arrived in Bialystock, from St. Peters-
burgh, to begin their iniquitous work of destruc.
tion, a few days previous to the last movement of
the Polish Commander-in-Chief towards Lithuania.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

The Polish Government, aware of the moral effect
which might be produced by the retrograde move-
ment of their troops, even though their able Gene-
ral had attained all the objects which they expected
by his advance, has transmitted a circular to their
foreign agents explanatory of the late events.
We insert this communication, along with other
extracts.

" The Polish Government has addressed the
following communication to its foreign agents :
On the 26th a bloody battle was fought at Ostro-
lenka. Malevolence will no doubt exaggerate our
losses. As it is our duty to counteract the false re-
ports which may be attempted to be set afloat, we
hasten to announce to you the results of this battle.
Though we have sustained a check, and our troops
have fallen back on Pulttik, vet the Comander-in-
Chief attained the aim which he had in view, by
being able to throw a corps of troops into Lithuania,
for the purpose of succouring the insurgents there,
and supplying them with officers, artillery, ammuni • ion,
and arms. One victory would not have been sufficient
to consolidate our independence, but a rising en masse
in the Polish provinces, and the co-operation of all
the Poles in the common cause, insures to us more ad-
vantageous results, in a political as well as a military
point of view. The news we have received from
Lithuania is highly favourable to the insurgents, and
describes the enthusiasm and general devotedness of
that country, which accounts for the precipitate
march of Marshal Diebitsch upon Ostrolenka. He
determined to risk every thing in order to cut off our
communication with Lithuania. Podolia has already
risen. The insurgents are advancing into Volhynia.
Batta and Tulczyn are in their possession. The ranks
of the Volhynian patriots are daily increasing. So
general an insurrection cannot but lead to the
happiest results. The check we have experienced
has not caused any change in our military position.
The retreat from Ostrolenka, far from discouraging
us, gives us new courage, for now all the Poles form
but one army; and those who perished on the banks
of the Narew will find avengers on the banks of the
Niemen and the Dwina."

(EXTRACT OF A LETTER.)
" PARMA, MAY 27.—Yesterday morning, at six
o'clock, Ciro Menetti and the advocate Borelli were
hanged at Modena. Several of these persons have
been condemned to irons. The death of Borelli
excites much regret : he was a distinguished and
excellent man. _

" The execution took place without the public
being informed of it. The servant of Borelli was
carrying his breakfast to him when he taw his body
on the gallows.'
" What grief, what indignation does this simple
tale excite! What ! France has not even sufficient
influence to save its friends and allies from the gibbet !

ROME, MAY 25.—(Private Correspondence.)—
" The evacuation of Ancona was kept secret to
the last moment. This event appeared to be one of
those advantages which arc not believed till they are
completely attained. The negotiation was carried
on with great activity at Vienna by the French Go-
vernment, and it has succeeded. The evacuation
began on the 14th May in the evening, and was ter-
minated on the 19th. The Pontifical troops have
resumed their old posts with the usual formalities.
" A notification of the following tenour has been
sent from the city to the Marches:—
