msn,. Of vvh;ch The muster-rolls are complete. M.
de Morozlawski has been appointed feld.marshal.
The intention 70 poison the frussian garrison
Poisoned bread was found in the barracks and the
Ihospitas The intention also was TO pillage the
houses of the Germans and the rich Jews, and In
case of resistance to poison them. The 18th Of
February was the day fixed for the action. M. de
| Morozlawski has been arrested, well as Count
Micielslu and M. de Malewski, who is already
known by previous insurrectonal attempts"
The following is an extract of letter from Po-
| sen, dated Feb. IL;
"Here and at ohlan preparations have been made
TO allow the cavalry to depart at a moments notice.
The most contradictory reports circulated al Po-
sen. Polish proprietor has been arrested IN the
county Of OstrowQ, and brought TO Posen. AT Os-
trowo the fermentation great that the muni-
cpal authorities had been obliged 10 exhort the In
habants 10 keep the peace"
The following letter is given by the Cologne Ga
zette:
| "PosEs, Feb. IL.
"The tranquility was not disturbed for single
instant during the time the arrests continued, and
this very day, (the l4th,) at ten o'clock IN the
| evening, not a single soldier to be seen IN
the streets. Now that the agitation begins TO set
tle IL 10 found that the arrests were less numerous
than was al first supposed. Not more than eight or
ten have been arrested, besides some non-commis-
stoned officers Of infantry On the other hand, the
persons arrested in other parts of the province have
besides those previously arrested All those recent
ly arrested belong to the nobility Of the country.
One Of the most important arrests ia that Of Bel.
gian commissary, arrested in the enyrons OF Gne-
sen, who has been loaded with chains. This arrest
has, however, had annoying consequences IN so far
| as II has been warning to several persons who
| should have been arrested on the same day, and
who have had time to escape. Among these are
the young Count Lontski, M. Babouseki, &c. &c.
Among those arrested is M. Liebelt, one Of the
editors Of the Polish Journal Neither Dr. Maleeki
nor M. Marcenkowski have been arrested, as was
at first announced.
alt is said that the general instruction was fixed
for the l7th Of February, but happily the affair of
the l4th served as a warning TO the government.
IL appears, however, that the government il not
quite secure TO the future, is proved by the
precautionary measures taken, which, though not
very ostenslbe, not the less real. The
troops have received orders 10 meet on the Place
d'Armes on the first beat of the drum. The
soldiers lodging in the town in private houses,
retire every evening with their arms and baggage
into the fortress, and remain there till the morn
ing. Troops from Siesa and Bromberg have entered
the Grand Duchy Of Posen to occupy the smaller
towns, and especially those in which the depots Of
the landwehr are placed. AtPosen more troops are
expected from Frankfort-on.the-0der and Erfurth.
II cannot be denied that great degree Of fermenta
ton rsigns among the Poles. The discovery Of the
plot has only embittered It, This justiies the pre-
sence Of great armed force in the Grs.d Duchy.
In the search which the police made in the bazaar,
the sum Of nearly $50, 900 found, which was at
once seized. 1t is also said that discovery was
made at wine-shop Of considerable store Of pow
der and other warlike stores"
From the London Standard March Sd
The POLISH lNsuRREcTIosARY MoyEMENr-We
have received Russian, Frankfort, and German pa
pers, all Of which confirm, in more or less degree,
If not the actual existence of conspiracy for the
emancipation Of Poland, at least that the apprehen-
sion of general rising of the Poles prevailed
throughout Prussia and Germany. We view with
great suspicion the alarmist accounts which we find
in these papers. When we apply the old-fashioned
test Of inquiry as to the party likely to gain by the
cry of conspiracy, and meet the reply at the very
first blush in the fact that the destruction of the
tonaty Of Poland is avowedy decreed, and the
Russian part absorbed into the empire, at once
see that pretext for further and final breach Of
faith towards the unfortunate Poles has become de-
sirable. Even the madness Of despair does not sf-
florida clue evident the cold-booded calculations
of the hierarchy of official slaves, who, with their
machinery Of spies, police, and provocateurs of
every description, have the means at hand of exci-
ing imbece efforts, to be crushed and punished at
convenience Take the following evident piece of
exaggeration from the Magdeburg Gazette, and see
if it bears anything like the appearance of probable
| ity on the face of it
| "PosEN, Feb. l9-The arrests Of Polish propri-
etors continue number Of people of this nation
| are gravey compromised 1t is a fact that they
proposed, among other means, to poison the troops
in the garrison Of the CITADEL and according to the
revolutionary catechism, of which several copies
have been found, they had resolved upon general
massacre, even to the infant at the breast, of all
who bore the name Of German, even though he
| should be Catholic"
| And they were the men of station and property
who had so resolved; for we told that the coun-
try people refused to take part in this mad enter
prise. The Swabian Mercury has the following
| at is now evident that the conspiracy recently
discovered had its ramfcatons throughout eastern
Prussia, Posen, Gallicia, and the kingdom of Po-
land. So hardy were the conspiraters, that
after the discovery of the plot they continued to
work at their projects. Russia, Prussia and Aus
tria now taking measures in concert to prevent
the instruction breaking out. Prussian army of
observation is about taking up position along the
| frontier line of the kingdom of Poland, as far as
Cracow. Several regiments of cavalry and infan-
TRY have already marched; and more are following.
Troops are to be put in motion in Silesia. Other
troops will be marched into Poland and Gallicia"
The Swabian Mercury says that the Austrian
government is preparing to adopt severe measures to
check the schism in the Catholic church, by banish-
ing all those who join the new evangelical church.
The same paper states that the Jesuits be al
lowed to establish themselves in the Austrian do
mnions.
Father Mathew has published letter, accompa-
from Indian corn. Efforts are now making to in
troduce this excellent beverage only into Ire
land, but into the three kingdoms generally, on the
plan which marks its use in the United States.
CoMMERcIAL.--Ther have been several extensive
failures in London and Liverpool. In the latter
place one house, Messrs. Stockdale & Sens, the
most extensive soap manufacturers, it said in the
world, have suspended payment Their liabilities
are little short of half a million Of money. The
failure was owing to the tghtness of the money
market, and to their consequent inability to nego-
tate their paper. This great failure has seriously
involved several firms, and has dragged down some
half dozen smaller houses. The Liverpool Borough
bank suffers to the extent of more than elOO 600
and the result has been to send the shares of that
establishment almost to par.
Naples has entered into commercial treaties with
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Sardinia. She has
also removed the prohibition on the import of pins
allowing It to take place on payment Of moderate
duty Naples Is very Literally disposed with re-
gard to her tariffs, and, it is sad Intends to make
! very great notifications in them
