POLAND.

POSEN, SATURbAY.
The Imperial rescript has produced a most dis
icouraging impression at Warsaw.

The delegation of citizens has resolved upon
!placing their resignation in the hands of the people,
land to request from the Governor the constitution
of a new delegation by means of a general election.
The delegation has likewise resolved to present tc
the Governor a memorandum enumerating thE,
different wants of the country.

According to the .Preussische Zeitung, the officer
who was brought before a court-martial for having
given the order to fire on the people, has been ac-
quitted on the ground that he had simply per
formed his duty.

We have received the St. retersburgh papers of
the Bth and 9th March. They do not contain the
slightest allusion to the recent events at Warsaw.

THE PERSIAN AMBASSADOR ON COT-
TON FROM PERSIAN ARABIA-

The following is a translation of a letter addressed
to the President of the Royal Asiatic Society by
his Excellency Mirza Jafer Khan, Ambassador,
from his Majesty the Shah of Persia to the Court:
of St. James's :
From the circumstance that this well wisher
passed the spring time of his life in this island, and'
received at that time numerous marks of friendship;
and kindness from great and small among the;
natives of this country, he has therefore always been
animated with a desire for the welfare and advan-1
tage of the British nation.
At this present moment, by reason of the events;
occurring in the United States of America, a great;
deal of anxiety and discussion i 3 to be observed as
prevailing among the owners of cotton-mills.i
Some have recommended Zanguebar or Australia :;
others, again, India, and various places, as most fit
for the cultivation of that most useful product; but
this well-wisher takes the present opportunity to'
demonstrate his friendly feelings by suggesting to
the President of the Royal Asiatic Society that the
province of IL huristan, now known by the name of
Persia Arabia, is, from the circumstances of its
vicinity to the sea, the fertility of its soil, the num-i
ber of rivers, as for instance, the Kerkha, the Karan
(Karim), the Jerrahi, Behbehan, better adapted
than the afore-named countries—that is to say, inE

!1, fact, the very best place for the cultivation of,
; cotton. From the foot of the mountain-ranges
of Luristan, Arabistan, and Behbeban, as
far as the shores of the Persian Gulf,l
and of the Shattee-'l'Arab, extends a vast!
country, the greater part of which is capable ofl
being cultivated so as to produce any required
quantity of cotton, sugar, opium, or indigo. Even'
as things are at present, and in spite of the want
of capital and of special knowledge among the in-
habitants of those parts, a portion of the lands in
.question are cultivated near Shuster, Dizful, and
Fellahigga.
It is related by the Arabian historians that, at the
time when the dyke of the Karun, near Aliwazjl
formed a source of prosperity to the environs, it
was customary to place on the dinner table of they
. Caliph at Baghdad, every evening, a tray of bread,
'with a thousand pieces of gold as derived from the
revenue of that district. For this reason, the dis-
trict received the appellation of " Selletu-'l-Khubz,"'
i.e., " Bread-basket." Besides this, the ancient
:name of that region, in the old Persian language,
is Khuzistan ; and " Khuz" means " Sugar." By
reason of its producing immense quantities of that
product, the country became known as Khuzistan,
i.e., Sugarland ; and it is evident that the manufac-
turers
of England may easily and speedily obtain •
from those regions any desired quantity of good
and beautiful cotton. Many English travellers have
visited those parts and viewed them from one ex-
tremity to the ether, and have become well ac-
quainted with its circumstances. From them too,'
the truth may be learnt.
In short, should the ideas above set forth meet
your approbation, the best thing to do would be to.
Itransmit a notice thereof to the cotton manufactur-
tug firms, in order that they may appoint an agent:.
with whom the necessary stipulations on both sides
may be discussed, and a definitive understanding
come to in the matter.

- THE GREAT EASTERN.—MILFORD HAVEN.--It
has been definitely settled that the Great Eastern steamer
shall be taken off the gridiron at Nayland, on Tuesday, the!
26th of the present month, and removed to the " Man. of-
' War's-road," just below Pembroke Royal Dockyard, and,
moored at the spot she occupied on her arrival from America, t
~1
A
r Capt. Carnegie and other directors are oa board at present,
!,from whom the above arrangements have emanated. Ay
Ifurther attraction occurs at the 'same period—the Defiance,
90 gun steam screw line-of-battle ship,will be launched from
! the adjacent royal dockyard on the 27th. These occurrence%
create considerable excitement throughout the cmnty gene-1
.rally.
The " Man-of-Nat's road" abovementioned is aC/
',capacious
anchorage locality, a short distance below the
tdockyard, where men-of-war having their powder on bcardi
c)me to and are anchored, being the nearest approach under
such circumstances they are allowed to make to that arsenal.:
°lts capacity may be calculated upon, when even the Great',
Eastern can ride there at single anchor at the lowest spring
:tides—the Blenheim line-of-battle ship and other veeselsi
!also riding there,
