" Cracow, Feb. 23. ;846."
" Krystoforz vas the residence of Joseph Poniatowski,
during the c,mpaign of 1509, and is held in respect by the
Cracovians% Cracow itself was the cradle of the old Polish
monar,by, and capital of the kingdom under the Jagellen
race,
In addition to the decree above given, it is stated by the
Paris Debats that other decrees were issued on the 24th, and
among the names attached to them appears that of Count
Potulicki, one of the richest citizens of Poland, Count Wod-
zicki, an o:d soldier, has been named, it is said, Commander
of the Guard of Safety of the Republic.
The Provisional Government has taken the most urgent mea-
sures of defence, for on all sides Prussian, Austrian, and Russian
fel ors were marching to crush the insurrection. The Austrian
Colonel Hanfeldt, with 400 of the old Cracow militia, have
passed over to the new Government. It was said that deser-
tion had manifested itself in the regiments Mazadulla, and
Bertotilli, and that they had been sent away from Gallicia.
It was the attempt to destitute this Colonel by the Austrian
General, De Collin, which caused the militia to rise, and
forced De Collin to retreat to Podgorze.
The three Consuls of the Protecting Powers had retired
into Gallicia and Silesia. Their houses were plundered
during the first explosion. The insurgent force was said to
be twelve thousand, armed with scythes; but the scythe is
the national weapon of the Poles, and it was with this arm
that they beat the Russians at Radavia, under Kosciusko.
The town of Cracow is an open town, without any defence
but an old castle on the Podgorze side.
In Gallicia, it was said, on the faith of travellers, that the
insurgents were well armed and furnished with cavalry.

JOHN BULL and JONATHAN POLK.

Joule BULL—Master Jonathan, you are getting a little
bouncible about Oregon.
JONATHAN POLK—US won't arbitrate—l guess I would'nt.
arbitrate whose sovereign this is that I have got in my
pocket.
J. I3.—You beg the question—we don't dispute your right
to anything you are in possession of—we won't call it a sove-
reign, we'll call it twenty shillings. I have got some in my
pocket and you have got some in yours—what you have got
there may stop there and what I've got I mean to keep—you
want to kick up a bluster and say, you'll take away what I
have got.
J. P.—Well, I guess the whole twenty shillings is mine
and I'll have it—Oregon is ours.
J. B.—Don't you wish you may get it. Well, you say it
is yours, I am ready to arbitrate—but you shan't take it
away by force.
J. P.—We won't arbitrate, it's ours and we'll have it, and
now what do you mean to do ? I guess you've got no pluck
—look to Ireland—your afear'd to touch us.
J. B,—You make me laugh—lreland, indeed—the Irish are
a little dissatisfied because they have not had justice done
them—if that is your only hope, a poor weak stick you have
got to rest upon. Queen Victoria has not a more loyal set of
subjects than the Irish, and they are as gallant as they are
loyal—they will never put up with your insulting a woman
—their idolized, their beloved Queen—not they—
J. P.—Well, and what will you do now—Oregon is ours
and we'll keep it—do your best and do your worst—what's
your next move ?
J. B.—What's, the next move ?—a pretty fellow you are
for a President—you don't know the first then, so I'll tell
you—by this time we have got a sufficient force landed to
protect our subjects in their rights and privileges and to
maintain the authority of the Crown of Great Britain—
J. P.—lt's all my eye. I guess—
J. B.—l'm not POLKING fun at you—
J. P.—You be though.
J. B.—l am not.
J. P.—Then it's a declaration of war ?
J. B.—No it's not.
J.P.—Do you mean to do this, and not declare war?
J. B.—l tell you it is done already. What necessity to
declare war? If no one meddles with us, we shall not med-
dle with them. We do not claim the sole right to the coun-
try; we shall not interfere with the rights of others. If we
are molested, we shall not ask whether they are Americans,
Mexicans, Texians, or any other countrymen—but at them
at once. We shall not make it an American question. If
you choose to declare war with us, because we go to protect
our rights, we cannot help that ; we must make the best of it.
J. P.—You don't seem to care much about it. We shall
have France with us. _

-
J. B.—France? Ah, ah, ah !
J. P.—Yes, France.
J. B.—France, indeed, with you. Why your blustering
news about not arbitrating on the Oregon question caused a
greater panic on the Paris Bourse than it did on the Royal
Exchange in London ; a greater depression in the price of
the Fret.ch funds took place than did in the English funds.
A war between England and America would hurt France as
much as it would do England. France with you?—you
make me laugh.
J. P.—Then you acknowledge awar with us would do you
no goof?
J. B.—God forbid I should think it would. Let anybody
try to turn us away from Oregon at their peril.
-J. P.—Us will do the thing, I guess. We'll show our
strength.
J. B.—l think you ought to say, your weakness.
J. P.—Do you mean to insult our stars?
J. B.—No, nor do we mean to insult ourselves; and if you
turn us away from Oregon, you must conquer the British
nation.
J. F.-It is all nonsense about our wishing to turn your
people away from Oregon, they may stay and trade as long
as they like i • we shall not trouble them.
J. B.—Well, we shall not interfere' with anybody but our
own people ; and those we will protect. If you don't touch
us, we shall not annoy you.
J. P.—We shan't annoy any of your people in Oregon.
Have you not thousands and tens of thousaads of your people
in the United States, and do we attempt to annoy them?
Not we; but Oregon is ours.
J. B.—lf you do not molest us, we shall not be annoyed
at your singing out across the water—" Oregon is ours ;" but
keep your hands off.
J. P.—We won't arbitrate,—Oregon is ours, Oregon is
ours,—we won't arbitrate.
J. B.—No, nor will you fight.
P.—Oregon is ours.
