PLESCEIEN, APRIL 7, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON
This morning the Polish military prepared for attack.
Yestesday a great number of agricultural implements,
iron bars, planks, &c., were brought into the city
trom every quarter ; the paving stones were torn up
in the streets in order that missiles might be at hand,
and barricades have been erected at all the principal
points. Towards noon the Polish military entered
the city. They consist of a train of Ulaners, about
two thousand men strong, completely equipped, and
fully organized. They were soon followed by the
nobles with their scythemen, so that Pleschen
is now occupied by the military. It is to be
the rendezvous for the surrounding districts.
It was resolved that no Prussian soldier
should be admitted into the city yesterday even-
ing. At nine o'clock the tocsin was sounded,
there was a call to arms, by way of trial. All the
barricades were garrisoned. The Prussian troops
would not be able to take the city without the
greatest exertions.

DANZIG, APRIL B.—One of our merchants returned
hither from Warsaw a few days ago, and confirmed
the intelligence that no more passports can be obtained
from abroad. In Warsaw itself the greatest excite-
ment prevails, and the city resembles an encamp-
ment. The troops bivouacked in the public squares.
Thr watchfires are lighted at night, and every person is
shot at v► ho does not reply when called to. Very few
people, however, venture into the streets after night-
fall, and none are permitted to do so without a lantern.
A most unnatural depression prevails here, and there
is a complete stagnation of business. A short time
since, when a high personage was at Warsaw, it was
determined to give a grand ballet at the Theatre in
his honour. The house, however, was almost empty,
and an order was issued fur some officers and officials
to repair thither, or the honoured guest would have
had the house almost to himself. Not only have all
the weapons been taken away from the Poles, but
even all sharp instruments, and the inhabitants have
been prohibited from making any. At the same
time, the citadel is so well furnished, that if the
slightest movement should take place in the city, it
would instantly be reduced to a mass. If, therefore,
Poland does not receive assistance from abroad, or
some revolution shakes Russia to her centre, and
overwhelms its tyranny, there is no likelihood that
Poland will break her chains. Ilamburgh Borsenhallc,

The Milan Gazette of the 6th contains a long de*
.cription of the funeral procession and obsequies
which took place in honour of the victims of the re-
volution of March. The pageant was magnificent,
and remarkable for the enthusiasm that pervaded the
dense mass of spectators. The last official bulletin
contains nothing of importance. The Austrians had
capitulated at Magnavacca ; General ZUCCBI still
occupied the banks of the Isonzo. Letters from
Dalmatia, says the bulletin, assert that a British
lorce has occupied Zara and the island of Lisca in the
Adriatic.

Palermo, March 29, that the Sicilian Parliament hill
