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

BY the latest information from the Austrian from
tiers, Lemberg, Feb 2, we kave the following:
Up to the present, one hundred persons have been
arrested at Lemberg, the garrison has been REIN
forced by three squadrons Of hussars. The troops
are kept constantly under arms, and under the strict
est discipline.
The report that the prison and arsenal were at
tackled by the insurgents is not confirmed. Great
excitement prevails among the people. Lemberg is
populated by Germans, and by 10000 JEWS. 1t is
difficult to account for their sympathy with the
Poles. The revolutionary spirit has spread exceed
ingy among the working classes. Incendiary let
tiers have been sent to various landed propreors In
the dis,rict OF Lemberg. A priest, who in sermon
at village near Lemberg said that the moment had
arrived for purgng the earth with blood, was arrest
ed by his congregation.
AT Tarnood tranquility has been restored
AT Wadowize Count Bobrowski has been ar
rested with four accomplices. The attempt In Gal
arrests have taken place among others M M Po-
. ninski and Laminski. A report was current that
general nsurrectlon had broken out in Poland, and
that the Pope had sent brief to approve Of the in
surrection.
II is said that some of the insurgents had been
tried by court martial, and shot, at Lemberg.
VIENNA, Feb. 26-The official papers confirm the
retreat OF General Collin, the Austrian representa-
M 10 ar al papf of fho UaY-
rison OF O.mutz are under marching orders. The
revolutionary spirit has gained the troops. The re-
giment of Mazachelli is to be broken up Many
death-warrants only await the signature OF the EN-.
peror The events in Gallicia have greatly affected
the Bourse. The shares Of the Milan Railway
have fallen from q to 20.
Il is reported that General Collin dismissed the
Commandment of the National Guard at Cracow.
The National Guard, not approving Of this mea-
sure, Immediately joined the insurgents. Fighting
commenced at once in the streets, and 200 men Of
the infantry and half Of the cavalry Gao men) were
slain. The troops retired towards the bridge over
the Vistua, and part of them were cut of. The
bridge has been destroyed, some say by the troops,
some by the rebels.
At Cracow, and in the neighborhood, the rebels
muster IL 600 strong, but very badly provided with
arms; thousands have nothing but scythes.
Up to the present, the Russians have only been
able to collect 500 men Of infantry, and about 100
Cossacks, who have just entered the territory of
Cracow. The insurgents seem determined on cross
ing the vistula, below Oszwienezin, and on enter
ing Gallicia.
In Vohnia, and northern Hungary, something is
stirring, but az yet nothing OF importance has &C.
