announcing that, on the 2Sd and 2iih. the insLr-
gents Of Cracow had crossed the Vistua, In the d-
Tection Of Vielieza, and that General Colin, being
menaced by the movement on his right, had thought
proper to fall back upon Moghilam and Wadowicze.
The reintorcements he expected from Morevia and
Slesa would, 1t was feared, be intercepted ~ the
insurgents letter from Breslau OF the 18th, posi-
tvely states that the latter attacked Podgorze the
23i drove the aristocracv out OF the town, and toll
lowed them as far as Wadowcze. The entire OF
the western part of Galcla was then In actual re-
volt. No accounts had reached from the eastern
districts. The insurgents had, on the other hand,
penetrated into the kingdom OF Poland, without ex-
perlenclng any serious resistance. A report pre-
vailed that a revolt had broken out at Lemberg.
Countess Potozka had arrived at Breslau with
passport delivered by the provisional government OF
Cracow. The Israelites of that city were said to
have rendered their services to the new govern
ment.
The Nurembswgh Correspondent Of the "a in slant
states that the whole Of Russian Poland was in
open revolt, that several engagements had already
taken place between the troops and the insurgents
that at Wilma, rounds OF grape shot had been fired
against the people, and that the Russian soldiers had
been ordered to give no quarter.
The Berlin correspondent OF the London Times
gives the following grapnc sketch OF the proceed
ings in Poseu: "On the 18th instant, an unusual
number Of Poles were observed to enter the city Of
p Posen, who, contrary 10 custom, did not leave 1t
again when the weekly market was over, and this
naturally attracted the notice of the police to their
movements. A great dinner, which was announc-
ed to be given in the bazaar on the llth, and pur
chases OF considerable quantities OF arms and gun
powder made in various quarters OF the city, were
regarded az important /; and whether the increased
vigilance was perceived, or fear alone suggested the
measure, secret communications were made
to the governor, which confirmed all he
had previously suspected The bazaar dinner
was to be conspiracy meeting, at which the chief
members OF the plot, amounting TO lOO we're to form

given to the military connected with the citadel,
which In usual times 10 not deemed requisite. At
noon Of the same day the General Commandant
entered the citadel OF Wniar, ordered the gates
be instantly closed. and directed the guard to let
no one pass out The whole corps Of officers and
non-commissioned officers were summoned to the
Generals presence. who, running his eye over the
assembled non commissioned officers ordered three
individuals to stand forth from the rest, adding in
voice of thunder, "You have broken your oaths to
king and country; you are traitors; let them De IN

prits were removed, the general made known TO the
others present what he deemed necessary OF the
discovered plot and conveyed short but distinct di
rectlons tor their g0vernance IN the event OF such
and such occurrences, referring them for further
detailed instructions to their respective superior Of
fcers, and empowering all. in case of meeting di-
rect resistance in the discharge OF their duty, to
compel submission by force OF arms. The troops
necessary to garrison the fortress being left IN 1t,
the rest were placed, fully accoutred and provided
with ball cartridge, in various divisions, so as to be
assembled on one point at the shortest notice. AT
two o'clock, troops and artillery were posted in two
OF the squares, and strong body of police and gen.
darmerie, supported by detachments OF horse and
foot, commenced the search after, and arrest Of the
various individuals denounced as Implicated IN
the conspiracy. A proclamation Issued by ahe

lace the object of the military array, and the public

taking timely warning by an unexpected and alarm
ing occurrence, had in great numbers saved them
selves, at all events for the moment, by fight Their
leader, Mlroslawski, formerly officer In the Po-
lish staff in Paris and who, il Is said was appoint
ed generalissmo of the whole undertaking, was
that very morning arrested in the neigh6orhOod OF
