Amid the interest and excitement felt
in respect TO the Oregon dispute, the
chances in favor Of a more liberal tariff

The Paris papers continue to be
chiefly occupied with the Polish insur-
rection, 5ut the rumo's they contain on
the subject are Of most vague and un-
satisfactory character.
The insurgents are said To amour; to
10000 men. The Journal des Debais
publishes history of the rebellion, from
which il appears that it has extended TO
the Russian army, and tina, it would not
have broken ont at the present nome nj
had not the numerous chances Of de-
lection rendered delay impossible
The provisional Government Of Cra-
COW were acting with vigor, and up Ia
the latest authentic accounts no attempt
had been made by Gen. Collin to attack
the city. 1t was however, reported in
Paris on Sunday, that The Russians had
assau lied Cracow, reduced half of it to
ashes, and driven out the Poles, who, in
their retreat, encountered a large body
Of Austrians, and defended them.
The Prussian Government notwiih-
standing the sympathy openly ayowed
for the insurgents in Polish Prussia, mp
pears to be disposed to remain neutral
in the matter.
In the Chamber Of Deputies on Saiur-
day NJ. Guizot is said, when questioned d
nv to the extent Of the insurIection, tO
have repllcd-'L'Aiicmagne tome entire
est en- Jcu;' rall Germany is on fire !')
and repo;l is eagerly noticed in the
Paris prius Of Sunday, that the state ol
Lombardy is far from satisfactory. The
Polish refugees in France were divided
into two parties, but have laid aside their
differences Tor the purpose OF co-oprra-
ting against the common enemy.
An address was presented to Prince
Adam Czartoryski expressive Of the u
nanIn,ous drsiIe at his coynirymen to
