HAMBURG MAIL

FROM THE GALICIA FRONTIER, MARCH 9.—The arrests
in Poland and Galicia still continue. Count Potolucki and
his family have just been taken by General Armes to Cf scow ;
he is said to have been one of the most zealous adherents of
the insurrection, and it is reported that on his estate of Bo-
brok, in the terntwry of Cracow, a lime-kiln was found,
which was converted into a manufactory for arms, in which
there was a considerable stock of weapons of every kind,
with scythes and pikes. His request. to remain under the
protection of Russia was refused, because this was only
granted to those who delivered themselves up with arms in
their hands, whereas those who came clandestinely into the
country to seek for protection were given up to the military
tribunal at Cracow.

blaitcft 20.—The melancholy fruits of the insurrection,
which, if not occasioned, was powerfully supported by the
aristocracy and part of the clergy in Galicia, begin already
to appear in all their frightful c ,irequences, according to the-
accounts from Rozeszow. The pea.sants come in hands to
the tribunal of the Circle, and demand the reward of their
heroic defence, as they call it,of the throne and the monarchy,
Their modest requests are confined to the abolition
of the Corvees, the division of the estates of the nobles who
have been killed and taken prisoners, of which they claim the
half, the abolition of the monopoly of salt and tobacco, and
exemption from military services. It may be conceived
with what astonishment the governor li-tened to these bold
demands. It seems that this state of things has given occa-
sion to some precautionary -measures; for these last
two days all courriers and diligences arrive at the frontiers
with a military escort. We leave it to the statesmen of Aus-
tria to settle the question of this emancipation of the peasants,
which would change the whole Austrian system of Govern-
ment. The most melancholy is, that it is now difficult to
gain the confidence of the peasants. The priests and the
nobles have no influence over them, and the officers of the
Circles meet with no attention to their exhortations. The
Bishop of Cracow has returned to his flock.
GALICIAN FRONTIERS, MARCH 21.—The accounts from
Galicia are more favourable. Tranquillity is restored. The
organisation of the public authorities, in those places where
the justice and police officers of the nobles had been broken
up, proceeds with t, lerable rapidity; and it is hipped that the
praiseworthy activity of the high imperial authorities
will soon effect what is necessary. The country itself
has of course sustained a severe shock, and years may pass
before it entirely recovers, which is the more to be regretted,
as Galicia has of late made considerable improvements.
Thanks to the regulations of the Paris propagandi, which
had forbidden its partisans to sell corn, that the revolution,
at least immediately after it broke out, might not be in
want it is not likely that there will be any great
scarcity in the country, because large stores of pro-
visions have been discovered on most of the estates, and
others are found every day. On the whole about fifty emis-
saries of foreign Polish committees have been partly killed
and partly taken prisoners. The number of insurgents now
subject to judicial inquiry may amount to 2,000 in Galicia
alone, of whom the least guilty will probably be soon
dismissed. On the whole, as the proceedings are concern-
ing facts and not plans of conspiracy, they will proceed
rapidly, and probably be terminated in a few months. The
roads are everywhere secure, and remittances of money are
again forwarded by the Post-office to Galicia.
The Prussian resident at Cracow has received instructions
from Berlin to co-operate, to the utmost of its power, in the
restoration of the Senate of Cracow.—Hamburg Papers,
March 31.
