PUBLIC EXECUTION OF TWO
IOLES AT LEABEIV.I.

Another demonstration of public feeling in Poland
was given at Lemberg., in Galicia, on the 31st ult.,
on the occasion of the execution of Theophilus
and Joseph Kapuscinski, declared guilty of
high treason against Austria, by the Imperial Courts,
on the Ist of July of the present year. The sentence
condemned them to be hung on a gallows, and they
suffered death accorlingly. Kapuscinski was also
accused of having put to death the Mayor of Pilsno ;
the charge was not, however, proved. On the 28th
their sentence was read to them in public, and on
their appearance the surrounding multitude, heedless
of the authorities, greeted them with enthusiastic
shouts and waving of hats, and threw crowns of
flowers at their feet. This was but a prelude to the
unpo4ing demonstration on the morning of the execu
tion, and testifies the undying spirit of inclepen
dence which still glows in the hearts of the 'Folibh
inhabitants of Lemberg. As the clock struck six, a
car on which the two condemned were standing left
the prison, under the escort of a large body of troops.
From an early hour in the morning the balconies of
the different houses in the streets through which the
procession had to pass were occupied by persons of
both sexes, dressed in the deepest mourning, and
that caused the authorities to make a change in the
intended route, and take a circuit by the outer walls
to the place of execution, which in some measure dis-
concerted the proposed demonstration of the inhabi-
tants. The endeavours of some to get a glimpse of
their countrymen were extraordinary. It was in
vain that the bayonet or the cavalry endeavoured to
keep them back, they broke through the ranks, and
threw flowers into the car. Many of them shed
tears. The resigned and ellm expression on the
strikingly handsome countenance of Wisniowski
gained him the sympathy of all who beheld him.
Kapuscinski was less collected, but died manfully.
The execution of the priest who is under sentence of
death has been adjourned till further orders.

REPORT OP THE JERSEY Lew COMMISSIONERS.—
This document, which has been so anxiously looked for,
is arrived at last. In the course of a few hours it he-
came known that the Commissioners had recommended
organic ohanges,involving upaid police; the separation of
the judicial from the legislative powers; and a reorgani-
zation of the former, in which the present jurats find no
place. These, and some alterations in the powers and
duties of the Crown officers, and an opening made for
changing the language of the courts of justice, form the
principal alterations proposed. They may be enume-
rated as follow : l. The abolition of the present court,
and the institution of three courts, each presided by a
qualified summary, preliminary, and final judge, to be
paid by the Crown. 2. Throwing open the bar. 3.
The adoption of the English language in all cases where
parties require it. 4. Trial by Jury. 5. The abolition
of our honorary and the institution of a paid police.
for day and night. 6. The establishment of a police
court, or sitting magistrate, for the summary disposal
of petty offences. 7. Assimilation of the criminal law
to that of England. These are the leading features
which the commissioners recommend fur the redress of
our grievances. We are to be relieved of our honorary
system, and to have a responsible one instituted in its
place. This will be an excellent improvement—one that
will eventually give universal satisfaction. If there
should be any difficulty in providing funds to pay t e
cost of the administration of public justice, the commis-
sioners recommend that her Majesty's Government
should should impose a duty of 4d. per round on h
consumed in the island, which, it is estimated,t would
produce

have our entire approbation ;and we

T and HE WAR W The Washington correspondent of the New York
Courier Inquirer writeslTH MEXICO.from that city
on the
19th of July to the following effect :
" We must now be on the eve of the most im-
portant intelligence from Mexico ; and the problem
will soon be solved whether we are to have war or
peace. My own opinion, formed upon the latest in-
telligence from Puebla, is still that it will be peace.
It is quite certain there is a large party, even in the
present congress of Mexico, in favour of peace; but
whether they number a majority or not of that body
must be speedily determined. In the meantime it is
certain, notwithstanding all that has been said to the
contrary—first, that the mediation of Great Britain
for peace, as proffered to 111,x'co, has not been re
jected by the congress of Mexico, neither has it, as
yet, been accepted; second, the terms proposed by Mr.
Trist have not yet been rejected by the Congress of
Mexico at the latest dates from the capital. If they
are rejected, or their acceptance delayed, General
Scott will advance and take the city. But if, on
the other hand, as is extremely probable, these terms
should be accepted and the treaty ratified at once by
the Congress of Mexico, Gen. Scott, in that event, will
not advance beyond Puebla, but will await orders from
the Government here, which would, no doubt, con-
vene the Senate at once, so as to have the ratification
exchanged, and peace re-established. I do, however,
undertake to say, by intelligence direct from Puebla,
that if Mr. Trist had conducted the negotiation pro-
perly, and placed his dispatch in the hands of General
Scott, so as to be transmitted to the Mexican Go-
vernment immediately after the battle of Cerro Gordo,
we should have had peace long before this period. I
repeat that the proceedings of the Mexican Govern-
ment, shortly after the battle of Cerro Gordo, and
now well known at Puebla, wherever they are pub-
' lished, will demonstrate that at that time Mr. Trist's
proposals, if he h4d sent them on as he ought to have
done, would have been accepted by the Government
of dexico. I still think they will be accepted ; but
if they are not, the objection must be attributed to
this fatal delay. Whatever may be said here to the
contrary, by the Union or any one else, I undertake
to say, upon unquestionable authority, from Puebla,
that Mr. Trist did undertake to give a military order,
although, according to my information from Mexico,
Mr. Buchanan's dispatch and instructions to Mr
Trist were perfectly right, and are considered by all
who have seen them there as most judicious and
proper; yet Mr. Trist, speaking in the name of the
President, did give a military order to General Scott,
which necessarily delayed negotiation. I say such
an order fram Mr. Trist has been seen at Puebla,
and has produced the utmost astonishment in the
mind of every military man there who is cognizant
of the fact. It is unpleasant to censure any public
functionary, especially a gentleman who is so amiable
in private life as Mr. Trist, but where such great
public interests are involved, and such weighty re-
sponsibilities resting upon all connected with these
transactions, it is right and just that the truth should
be told in order that the censure may fall upon those
only by whom it is merited."
