Let these mOck-neutrai powers be called on at
once to declare themselves on the Polish ques-
ton, and that unequivocally. Let not their CO.
vert acts be marked by professions of sympathy
for the brave Poles, while their uniform conduct
betrays the most lnveterate hostility, not only to
the cause Of Poland. but to the dissemination OF
liberal principles throughout Europe. 1t IS idle
for France to expect any forbearance from Rus
STA, civiity from Austria, or politeness from
Prussia, if the Poles be subdued Why then he
state where promptitlde is twofod virtue-by
restoring the independence of Poland, and Sc
curing the blessing of liberty to France-the
world. If Louis Philippe but reflect, he will
tremble at the consequences Of his present poll
oy; let him but demopstrate his strength, even
to action, and Poland is re-established, and his
own throne secured by the gratitude OF free peo-
ple.-Sun.
From the London Times offhe s7th.
We publish with unfeigned satisfaction letters
from Warsaw, bringing intelligence from the Po-
lish armies so late as to the 16th--only l. days
old. These communicate gallant and impor-
tant exploit Of the Patriot General Chrzanowski,
who was despatched by the COMMANDMENTS chief
with corps Of 8, 900 men to disturb the left flank
and rear of the Russian army, in an expedition into
Volhynia, which was conducted with marvellous
intrepidity and success-that brave officer burst
ing through successive lines of Russian posts, beat
inc the enemy in several engagements, and tho
in the midst Of Cd, 900 Russians, under Generals
Kreutz and Witt, capturing 800 prisoners, with
which he entered the fortress of Zamosc in tri-
umph. The main object Of this wel-conceived
and brilliant enterprise was to substitute new
force in Vohynia for that which, since the mis-
fortunes of General Dwernicki, has been with
drawn from the patriot cause, by the more than
dubious unfriendliness of Austria towards the Pc
lish liberties. The new Chieitain has thus prov
ed himself at the outset worthy successor to
the brave and skitul Dwernicki; though we trust
he is not destined to experience the same vclssl-
tude Of war, or the same treaChery from pretend
ed neutrals.
The Prussian Government, it greves though 1t
does not surprise US to see, has begun the game
of cordons sanitaires" against the emancipa-
ton of Poland Ii the English and French Ca
binets once put themselves in motion, the old
comrades of Russia iu the crimes Of the 9Th CEN
fury had better behave with more circumspection
in what belongs to the laws of neufrals.
LONDON, May SO.--The latest news from Ber-
lin is to the 2lst. and from Warsaw to the even
ing of the 18th instant at which time no news
had arrived OF the then hourly expected collision
between Dieb,tsch and Syrzynecki. Both armies
are maneuvring-the Russians to operate against
Warsaw On the opposite side of the Vistula from
the previous line of action and the Poles to defeat
his fresh assault on their capital. The country
upon the line of march was desolate. and the
Cholera Morbus, according to our private letters,
frightfuIly extending its ravages; it had spread
into Austrian Gallicia. In Lithuania the Rus.
slams are pursuing savage determination. They
are hanging and shooting even their wounded
prisoners, and the peasants and scattered Polish
partisan corps are executing on the spot, in their
turn, terrible retaliation.
The French papers Of Friday contain a long
report COPIED from Warsaw paper of the pro-
ceedings of the Lithuanian insurgents, presented
to the National Government of Poland by an en-
v0y from Lithuania. The insurrection is said to
have extended to Grodno and Mlnsk, and the
Government of wilma alone IS said to have sixty
thousand insurgents under arms. They have es-
tabished provisional governments, and have be-
gun founderies of gunpowder. The peasants
fight with the greatest bravery against their Rus
sian oppressors, and IF Lithuania falls" says
the report, she will carry to her grave the con-
selling idea that she preferred to sacrifice every
thing rather than supply arms and means to sub
jugate the Poles and their common country"
The Russians have sent back to Warsaw two
doctors made prisoners at Minsk. The Russians
at Lubin have become great prey to the fever;
in the hospital at Opoli they have 5000 sick.
Commercial letters from st. Petersburg state
that the Russian officers of the Court, and other
mobiles of the land, are clothing, arming, and
equipping, at their own expense, an army of 1907
600 men to march against the Poles.
