The Zeitau,g Halle gives the following &C.
count from Marggrabowson, the east frontier
of the Sd of April -" The deputy Of the
Landrath has just sent word to the chief resi-
den. of Prussia that 300 pieces of Russian
cannon have just arrived at RaygIod, a small
Polish town on the main road from 81. Peter
sburs to Warsaw, close TO the Russian frontiers,
and which will probably pass along that cause
way to Warsaw, while the troops will advance
further into the country, as it is evident such
q train of artillery must precede a very con-
siderable body Of men, The Bremen Zeitung,
in letter from Berlin, OF the 10th April,
confirms this intelligence -" We learn from
the kingdom OF Poland tina. the entire army
assembled in Lithuania has advanced and
taken up its quarters on the Prussian frontiers.
Three hundred pieces Of Russian artillery are
said to be at Warsaw. A Cracow journal, of
the 10th Of April, says that the total number
of troops now il. Poland amounts to 10000
men, which are to be augmented TO 100000.
Other journals contradict these reports.
PRUss1A.-The Prussian Diet has been dis
solved. At Berlin, as elsewhere, the labor
question is the question of the day, and the
workmen ta}e il into thei, own hands ard de-
bate it, after heir manner in clubs and at
street corners. Piece-wo!k is prescribed !;
short time and high wages enforced
| The provinces bordering or the Rhine are
| III a very disturbed state, and attempts made
by some of the people tostop The navigation
of the Rhine by steamers, show that ignorant
prejudices may seduce the population into the
most culpable excuses. In some cases the
rioters, whose interests have been affected by
the establishment. of steamers, have actually
fred on the steam vessels. On the afternoon
of the 18th instant serious disturbance took
place in one OF the prisons at Cologne. The
prisoners killed one Of the keepers with his
own sword, and wounded another. They
then broke thro' many Of the gates, and as
sembled in the corridor of the third floor
The guard entered and were obliged to fire
on the prisoners before they could bring them
to their senses but only one was wounded
The peace of Cologne has also been disturbed
by some excuses committed by some of the
recruits from Pomerania. The civic guard
succeeded in stopping them, but not without
bloodshed, the recruits having resisted.
PoLANp.-Adyices from Posen of The 10th
state that the proclamation of General Wisesen
has pleased neither the Poles nor the Germans.
Areschen Schrode, and Ro2owo. the Poles

centrste there the principal part of their army.
1t is said that with the artillery they are 5000

forming the second corps Of the army, and
and to 1etake by force all the towns occupied

Inence on the 10th, unless the insurgents
should capitulate and lay down their arms
A kind OF battle was fought on the 9th, by the
troops under Colonel Lestock and the Polish
population of the town of Trzamszno. The
Colonel had already destroyed all the ba.rica-
DIES which the Poles had erected in the streets,
and was in the act Of stornins the houses,
from the windows Of which the Poles kept
up a brisk FIRE, when he received letter from
a superior officer ordering him 10 desis., as
Occupations from The heads OF the insurgents
had arrived at Posen, and had promised that
no further violence should De committed, and
tina, they would lay down their arms. The
Prussian military commanders in other parts
Of the grand duchy are zealously engaged in
disarming the Poles. Count Potocki, Polish
