POLAND.

It WR3 rumoured in Berlin, on the 11th, that it had
been arranged between Russia and Prussia that
Poland should be erected into an independent
kingdom, and that the young Duke of LEUCIITEN•
BERG was to be the new King of POLAND. -
.

The authorities at Posen have prohibited the sale
or manufacture of scythes, and all persons are re-
quirtd to deliver up their arms to the commandant of
the garrison forthwith. All the gates are strictly

guarded, and only three of them are permitted to be
opened. They are closed at eight in the evening and
opened at six in the morning. The attack upon
G-nesin was fortunately unsuccessful, as a general
massacre of the inhabitants was resolved upon. Some
troops were hastily got together, and the insurgents
repulsed with some loss. All the most respectable
and influential Polish inhabitants have been seized
and imprisoned, and among them STEFANSKI, who
a short time since was proclaimed Dictator of
Poland. It required a guard of thirty hussars to pro-
, tect him from the fury of the people.

TERMINATION OF THE CON-
FLICT IN POSEN.
An Aide-de•Ca►np of General CoLoMB, Command-
ing General in Posen, has arrived at Berlin with the
important intelligence of the complete defeat of the
Polish insurgents, under AltEaosLAwsitt, on the
afternoon of the 7th inst., and the surrender at discre-
tion of the whole body.
