POSEN.

A report from General WEDELL, dated the 11th
instant, from Piatkouczarne, where the capitula-
tion was to have been carried into effect, stated
that only thirty-five of the insurgent Poles
were found in arms. The rest of the 8,000
or 9,000 had gradually dispersed or separated
into small bands, and were selling their horses and
equipments, and committing every kind of mischief
and plunder (allerlie unfug and plunderung). De-
tachmen',B are sent in all directions in pursuit of
those dangerous stragglers, and a general battue of
the woods on the banks of the Wartha was ordered to
take place yesterday, and thus the principal corps of
insurgents may be regarded as completely overcome,
although they have escaped the bonds of acknow-
ledged surrender. MIEROSLAWSKI, their former
leader, who was condemned to death and pardoned
at Berlin, has been captured, with three of his com-
panions. They were discovered concealed in the
house of a nobleman, •about twelve miles from Posen.
He vs ill be sent under a strong escort to the citadel
of Custrin, to suffer most probably
.a second condem-
nation, and at least indefinite captivity.

RUSSTA

ST. PETERSIIURGIi, MAY 6.—By command of the
EMPEROR, the sum of 6,000,000 of roubles was trans-
ferred on the 2d of this month from the reserve store,

in the vaults of the Fortress of Peter-Paul, to the
vaults of the credit expedition, for the purpose of aug-
menting the ready cash of the treasury of that expe-
dition, which had been diminished in consequent.: of
the payments for the purchase of the public funds for
the transfer capital payment of the gold washers.
From the official scrutiny and revision of the State
bonds lying in the reserve store vaults of the Peter-
Paul fortress, it appears that after the deduction of
the above sum of 6,000,000, there still remains the
sum of 109,58ii,595 roubles 19 copecs silver.
The merchants of Moscow have placed 50,000,000
silver roubles at the disposal of the EMPEROR. The
various provinces, at vast sacrifices, have offered to
tureish horses and provi►ions. Almost all the in-
fluential and wealthy Russians who are abroad are
returning to Russia. Yesterday evening the family
of Prince GALLITZEN arrived here from Paris, on
their road to Russia. The Russian nobles are flock-
ing round their monarch more than ever, and there
is no longer a doubt that preparations for war are
being made on an extensive scale. Meantime M.
VON MAGENDORF continues the assurance that the
EMPEROR entertains the most pacific intentions. The
report that the EMPEROR had left St. Petersburgh
for Riga is incorrect. His MAJESTY is still at St.
Petersburgh, and held a grand review a day or two
before the sailing of the steamer.—Cologne Gazette.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY AND VENICE.

While CHARLES ALBERT and RADETHIT were
fighting under the walls of Verona, a very warm
affair took place at Piave between the Austrians,
commanded by Count NUGENT, and the Roman troops,
commanded by General FERRARI. The battle lasted
five hours, and it is said the Roman troops received a
check.

Venice and the Venetian provinces are in a state
of great alarm.

'lhe Pati•ia of the 9th says, that 500 volunteers
and 3,000 Neapolitan troops embarked at Ancona on
the Sth, and were received with great demonstrations
of joy.

It is said that General BIANCHI and a daughter of
Count NUGENT are guarded as hostages at Treviso.
The blockade of Venice is said to be quite ridicu-
lous, merchant vessels entering with perfect ease.
