CRACO W.

The Courricr Francaise gives the following extract of a
letter from Cracow, dated the sth instant :—" Our state of
persecution still continues. The houses, the convents, and
even the tombs are ransacked. Yesterday, ten unfortunate
refugees were conducted through the town by a detachment
of Russian cavalry with drawn swords, though they were
only harmless cultivators of the soil, thus torn from their fa-
milies. A few days ago M. lEstrieher was arrested in the
night at his farm, two days' march from Cracow, and forced
to come all the way on foot, though he offered to pay for
a carriage. After all, was found to be innocent, and
discharged. M. Wicloglowski, who fqr four years has been
farming an extensive tract of land in Galacia, has been
subjected to the same treatment, being ordered to quit the
country with his family within six weeks. He is going to
America. No credit whatever is due to the account of mur-
ders given by the German journals as justifying the occupa-
tion of our territory. Not a single drop of blood had been
shed. The Senate never requested the intervention of the
allied Courts, for its orders were all obeyed. Our town
has been calumniated to afford a pretext for carrying off
those unfortunate men who had found in it a secure asylum
against persecution. The Prussians have left Cracow, and
have paid all their expenses. Only ten of their cavalry re-
main, who are under the orders of General Kauffmann."

ADDRESS OF THE PORTUGUESE

IN LONDON TO PRINCE FERDINANR

Senhor,—We, the Portuguese at present residing and
established in this city, come, with hearts full of joy, to
present to your Royal Highness the sincere expression of
our-most devoted respect, and the assurance of our stedfast
loyalty to the person of your Royal Highness, the worthy
consort of our Sovereign Lady, Donna Maria Segunda.
Though living separate from our compatriots who inhabit
the mother country; we are ever united with them, by the
interest which we take in whatever is calculated to augment
the splendour of our Sovereign's Throne, or to promote the
happiness of our native land.
In the auspicious nuptials of the Queen Donna Maria
Segunda with your Royal Highness, we perceive ample
reason to hope that from so felicitous a union must result
the personal happiness of the Sovereign whom we so
ardently love, as well as of your Royal Highness. De •
scended from Princes distinguished for their high birth, and
inheriting the noble and eminent virtues with which they
are endowed, your Royal Highness will always be the ob-
ject of the love and the respect of the nation to whom you
now belong, and which, by the efforts made to maintain the
rights of the legitimate Sovereign and the constitutional.
Charter of the Monarchy, affords the highest pledge that
possibly could be presented to your Royal Highness.
Since fortune has bestowed on us the distinguished ho-
nour of being the first Portuguese who have assembled
to salute the husband of our Queen, your Royal High-
ness will be pleased to receive graciously the protestations
which we present of our love, respect, and devotion, and
therewith our sincere wish that after a favourable voyage
you may land safely in that country which looks forward
with so much satisfaction to the arrival of your' Royal
Highness, whose precious life we pray the Almighty to
preserve for a long period of years.
Your Royal Highness's most respectful servants.
London, March 2 1 .
