POLAND.

The Prussian Government, yielding to the demands
of the Polish deputies, has appointed a Royal Com-
missioner for the duchy of Posen, in the person of
General \VILLESSEN, who enjoys a great degree of
popularity among the Poles. Count MATIIEW
MIELZYNSKI is to be the first President of the pro-
vince of Posen. General CHEZANOWSKI, the most
eminent of the Generals of the old Polish army, and
M. MIEROSLAWSKI, who was the leader of the insur-
rection of 1842, are to be admitted into the army of
Posen.

The Courrier de Berlin, of the Ist inst. says—
" The grave events which have changed the political
system of Prussia have at the same time caused great
perturbation in all commercial affairs, and produced a
vast depreciation in the public funds. Already some of
the first banking-houses in the capital and in other towns
of the kingdom have announced their intention of icaree
diately winding up their affairs, and it is feared that
with the beginning of the month will come many
failures. The shares in the German railroads have fallen
down to 50, and some as low as 47 thalers. Merchants
who have payments to make cannot obtain money from
their bankers, even upon the best securities. The shares
in the Royal Bank have undergone an enormous reduc-
tion in price."

RUSSIA.

MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR.

The following manifesto of the Emperor NICHOLAS
has been published at St. Petersburgh and received
with the greatest enthusiasm :
" After the benefits of a long peace the West of Eu-
rope finds itself at this moment suddenly given over to
perturbations which threaten with ruin and overthrow
all legal powers and the whole social system.
" Insurrtction and Anarchy, the uff,pring of France,
soon crossed the German frontier, and have spread
themselves in every direction with an audacity which
has gained new force in proportion to the concessions of
the Governments. The devastating plague has at last
attacked our allies the Empire of Austria and the
Kingdom of Prussia, and to. day in its blind fury me-
naces even our Russia, that Russia which God has
confided to our care.

" But Heaven forbid that this should be! Faithful to
the example handed down from our ancestors, having
first invoked the aid of the Omnipotent, we are ready to
encounter our enemies from whatever side they may
present themselves, and without sparing our own person
we well know how, indissolubly united to our holy
country, to defend the honour of the Russian name, and
the inviolability of our territory. We are convinced
that every Russian, that every one of our faithful sub-
jects will respond with joy to the call of his Sovereign.

Our ancient warcry, For our faith, our Soya**lge, qnd
our country,' will once again lead us on the path of
victory, and then with sentiments of humble gratitude, as
now with icelings of holy hope, we will all cry with one
voice, God is on o'ir side, understand this ye peoples
and submit, for God is on our side.' _ _ _

" Given at St. Petersburgh the 14th (26th) of March,
in the year of Grace 1848, and the 23d of our reign."
It is said that the EMPEROR has ordered that every
man in Russian-Poland, between the ages of eighteen
and thirty-fire, shall be removed into the interior of
Russia.

The German papers continue to report the concen-
tration of a large Russian army in the Russian part
of Poland. 6,000 Circassians and Bashkirs arrived,
according to the Schlesische Zeitung, in Creustochan
on the 25th of March. The troops at Warsaw are
consigned to the barracks, and ready to march at a
minute's notice.
