POSEN, DEC. I.—lt was very generally reported that
the day before yesterday (the 29th of November), the
anniversary of the revolution at Warsaw, was fixed upon
as the time at which a great movement in favour of
Polish independence should take place; at least that day
was indicated as of great importance in the threatening
letter addressed to the President of the Police, Baron
Von Massentoli. The day, however, has passed over
without any disturbance; as was to be expected, for there
can be no great reason to dread revolution, the breaking
out of which is formally announced to the public before
hand.
