PRUSSIAN POLAND.

POSEN, APRIL 20.—From the commencement of the
troubles of Warsaw, several Prussian regiments had ar-
rived to join themselves to the forces already assembled in
the Grand Duchy of Posen ; the Landwehr was put on foot ;
some battalions and squadrons had also been sent into Prus-
sian Lithuania, to be stationed along the frontiers. Until
now, the Poles have scrupulously respected them; it is not
the same with the Russians.—Letters from our Lithuanian
frontiers inform us that the Russian city of Georgenbourg
has been wholly burnt by Schamaittes. The Russian func-
tionaries, as we know, have saved themselves at Tilsitt, as
well as the soldiers of the frontiers, and more than ninety
families, who arrived in a state of misery and deplorable
destitution. These letters announce also that the Grand
Duke Constantine, who had until now refused all command
of the military forces employed against the Poles, has just
changed his mind, and accepted one. He will command, it
is said, a corps of 60,000 Finlanders. Ou our side, there
will be, as we are assured, 80,000 men, assembled at the
end of this month, to cover our frontiers towards Lithuania.
They will be divided into two corps, of which Lieutenant-
General Kreft, who already commands a third, will be the
commander-in-chief, but always under the direction of
Field Marshal Count Gueisnau.—Correspondent of Ham-
bourg.
CRACOW, APRIL 20.—Until this moment we have cele-
brated the victories of our brave countrymen by public illu-
minations ; but our senate has just prohibited it under a very
heavy penalty. Although our hearts belong to the common
country, the political existence of our little state depends
on the. protection of the three great powers, and our interests
must ordain us to suppress our patriotic sentiments to the
intelligence wbieh we must preserve with them; the senate
is then obliged to prohibit all illuminations, and to stifle the
joy which we have shown at the victories of the Poles. Some
excess committed at the house of the Prussian Consul, who
bad not illuminated on the occasion of the victory of Igani,
was the first cause.- -Gazette d'Augsbourg.

SWITZERLAND.

GENEVA, APRIL 28.. (Private Correspondence.).e.A re-
port has spread here since yesterday that a conspiracy of
the most grave nature was on the eve of breaking out in the
Sardinian states. The Queen and General Paolucci were,
it is said, at the head of the plot ; the end of which
was to call in the Austrians to disband the Piedmontese army,
and to put the Duke of Modena upon the throne in the
place of the Prince of Carignan. They point out one of the
principal military authorities of Savoy as having con-
nection with the conspiracy. This intelligence offers
a striking coincidence with a letter from the frontiers
of Italy, dated the 20th, reported by the Veridique, of
Fribourg, a journal perfectly well informed of the pro•
jects and measures of the absolutionists, which an-
nounces that on the 18th lodgings had been prepared at Mi-
lan for a corps of 40,000 Austrians, commanded to enter
Piedmont. The correspondent of the Veridique' announces
that this movement had been concerted with the presump-
tive heir to the throne. We have reason to know, on the
contrary, that numerous arrests have taken place, by the
order of the Prince Carignan, at Turin, Genoa, Alexandria,
and Chamberri. The Piedmontese people, very indifferent
to the form of their government, and too little advanced—
(the inferior class at least) to desire strongly a liberal con-
stitution, hold more than any other people of Italy to their
nationality, and would arm unto the last man, to repulse a
foreign sovereign and an Austrian invasion.

Bausszta, April 30.—Three individuals have been brought from
Ghent to Brussels, and this morning confined in the prison of the city.
They are implicated in the affair of Ernest Gregoire. Lord Ponsonhy
yesterday dispatched a courier with dispatches to London. Gen. Alelh.
net has arrived at Namur.
The trial of the fourteen prisoners accused of being concerned in
destroying, plundering, burning manufactories is the environs of
Brussels is now going on before the Court of Amiss at Mons.
Above sixty witnesses have already been examined. The aimed ma.
nifest the greatest composure ; they have admitted some of the facts laid
to their charge, but justify themselves by the circumstances in which
they are placed. The high military tribunal will decide in the case of
Colonel Bowman, on Tuesday, May S.
We find in a journal the following letter from the Regent to amid
Van Helen
General—l would have replied sooner to your letter of 294 lost, had
I not been hindered by other affairs of much greater importation. You
express your surprise that I should have thought, and that the
Connell of Ministers should have participated in my error, that you
were only to be considered us an honorary Omwal, enjoy
ing a pension for services performed. This error, you say, is
great, for you would never have accepted such a sinecure; and la sap.
port of your assertions, you produce four documents to prove that per
relations with the National Government, from the first day ells betel.
!anon, have been disuse honourable nature. I have eiranalned shies
documents, and I find in them, that on the 24th September, 1811% yen
were appointed Commander.in.Chief of the active forces of Belgium;
that on the Seth of the same month, you were appointed Commander-
's-Chief of the military force of South Brabant, which, according to
my notion, was restricting the extent of your command ; and that the
Burgher Guard, properly so called, shall remain under its own Chiefs;
this then was withdrawing them from yout command.
On 6th Oct. 1890, you were named Lieutenant-General, mem•
played, with a salary of 10,000 francs, and the assurance of a penis@
of 6,000 francs to your widow. Lastly, on the 26th Jan you ask to
be employed; and on 11th Feb. you are assured by the ProvWonal Go.
Tatman, that, considering the relation of Belgium with the neigh.
bearing power., the want of a superior Aker was not felt.
From all this, General, ancluda, that the time of your aides est.
vice was only eight or nine days; that is to say, from 24th &mt. Noah
Oct. and that all your relations with the National Goverionint deo
that time, egotist only in as application to be employed, whisk yen
made on the lath January.
According to this, General, my error is very pardonable : how.
Mfg as you are unemployed, and receive a salary from the tresenrY.
I reserve to myself the right d employing you, when I shall
think it necessary for the good of the service; ludas, iodesd,
you should still have the intention of going to Poland, as yes
have asked, and I have granted you permission to do.
