Count Mielynsks, ofMiloslaw, had been brought in
| a prisoner,
| P.S Up to post hour no further intelligence had
reached this city IL is not likely that anything pos
iuye respecting the movements Of the insurgents in
Gallicia will be known before the expiration Of two
or three days.
The dates from France are 10 Tuesday, the 18th
of March.
No intelligence from France bearing upon Ameri-
can affairs, and Of especial interest had been recev-
ed IN England. An article had appeared in the
Journal des Debats incning strongly to the British
view of the Oregon question Il had attracted atten-
ton from the well known position of that journal as
the semi-oftcial organ of the government.
The proceedings in both chambers were without
importance. In the Chamber Of Peers the Duke de
Broglie presented the report Of the committee on the
secret service money bill, and the debate on the
question was fixed for Thursday next. The Minis
ter OF the Interior introduced the internal navigation
BILL which has already passed the other chamber.
The debate on NJ. de Remusat's motion for the
exclusion Of place-hoders from the chamber, had
commenced in the Chamber Of Deputies.
Much interest had been manifested in France con-
corning the Polish instruction. II seems by no
means improbable that serious events and changes
in the international relations OF the great continental
powers may grow out Of the present condition Of
Poland, held as that kingdom is by Prussia, Austria
and Russia, with It's population excited and looking
TO Of those governments as protection against
the rest while throughout the whole French nation
there exists strong and active sympathy with the
oppressed Poles. TIE subject, as will be seen by
the foll1wing extract, had already found its way
into the Chamber Of Deputies:
An animated conversation on the subject of the
Polish instruction took place in the French Cham
Der of deputies, the 18Th, provoked by the Mar
gus de Ia Rochejacquelln, with the avowed object
OF extortIng an expression Of sympathy for the I'M
fortunate Poles from the ministry and the chamber
at large. The point put forward most prominently,
and that, indeed upon which the discussion turned
was the irghtful Jaegusrie Of which Gallicia has
been the theatre. The Marquis de Castellane whom
the chamber seems to look up to an authority
upon the social condition Of the Polish subjects Of
Austrln and Prussia, owing, we believe, TO his close
family conneXlon with the latter country denounced
the Galllclan massacre as the result Of a system of
policy pursued by Austria Of most wicked kind.
This nObeman stated that while Russia had par
TALLY, and Prussia wholly emancipated the Polish
peasantry, and endowed them with the rights Of
CluLbnsnlp, Austria nhu maintained the Polish
mobiles in their most oppressive rights and, with
the Of rendering them az odious as possible TO
their ssrfs employed them in the administration Of
the most unpopular Offices; while, in order that
these serfs should be taught TO look TO the imperial
power as their natural protector against the exac.
tons Of their native masters, courts of appeal were
established throughout the province, admins stored
by Austrian judges, 10 whom the peasants were en-
Outraged TO appeal IL on this account that the
peasants turned against the nobles when the latter
offered to put themselves at their head IL was in
pursuance of the system so deeply planned that the
magistrates Of Tarnow appealed to the peasantry,
and set price upon the heads Of their disaffected
masters. The Austrian magistrates were then the
meters Of the Jaequsrs. This is frightful CHARGE
but, happily, we have the high authority Of M
GuZOt for calling It IN question. The Minister Of
Foreign Affairs stated that he had reason to believe
that the accounts published in the newspapers rela-
tive to the Tarnow massacres were greatly exag-
gerated at the same time he knew, of his own knowl
edge, that Prince Metternich had long ago fore
| seen the arrival at day Of fearful re-.
| action, owing 10 the disposition Of the Gallician
serfs, and TO their anomalous state. He could,
therefore, acquit the Austrian government of hav-
ing taken any part in deeds TO which the serfs were
of their own accord but too predisposed. M Guizot
avowed that the condition of the peasantry had I'M
der the Austrian government been much ameliora-
ted; and under that of Prussia their state was still
better. He proceeded, then, to urge upon the cham
Der the danger and the cruelty of exciting hopes in
the breasts of the Poles of such nature as could
only lead to bitter disappointment. The policy of
France forbade her interference in the internal con-
Germs of other states. But the kings government
would do all in its power, consistent with the law of
nations, to protect the unfortunate Poles; and with
that object appeal would be made to the generos-
ity of the chambers.
We find by the Paris journals Of Saturday that
the charges brought by M. de Castellane have
found more favor with the opposition press than
the calm and yet feeling appeal of M. Guizot
The leading organ of the opposition-the Constitu-
tionnel-exciaims that the French government has
no heart.
"They conservatives no longer as they might
be at London or in Pans, but as they at ST. Pc
ersburgh and at Vienna. They are of the holy al
lance, and quite absoutsts We shall soon see its
effects at home. After this fine defence of the Aus
TRAN government, M. Guizot replied to the second
point that he intended, without any reserve pur-
the policy of non-interventon, and that he con-
sequeny wished to remove all illusory hopes from
the Poles by promising them nothing beyond hospi-
tality. A deep and painful emotion penetrated the
chamber at this pitiless declaration"
The other opposition journals all in the same
angry strain.
RESIGNATION OF THE SPANISH MINIsrRY-The
newly constructed Spanish ministry resigned the
18th inst, the ground of some difficulty with re-
spect to the liberty Of the press The queen-mother
is supposed to have managed this intrigue to upset
the Miraaores cabinet, with view to the restora-
ton Of Narvaez
India.
The English journals were filled with forebodings
and complaints to the state of things in India.
The feeling was very general that the recent san
culinary hostilities had been productive Of no def
mite result. The Sikhs, though beaten in single
battle, were neither subdued nor inactive. In the
absence Of any specific information, the Times
says:
"The latest accounts from the East show that that
part of the world is the reverse of satisfactory.
The blood which flowed on the banks of the Sutej,
on the three memorable days Of December last has
been shed in vain. The Sikhs have been punished,
but not subdued and they return to the conflict with
increased numbers, and apparently additional deter
mination They will take deal Of beating; they
are brave fellows excellent soldiers, and not at all
disposed to cry peccav Their strength far out
strips ours, their artillery is better, and they
