We have curious piece of news by way of New
Orleans, in letter to the Delta, dated Paris March
z, as follows:
have just time to announce to you news the
conseouences of which may be incalculable. The
re.cstablishnient of the kingdom of Poland is de-
creed by ukase of the Gar, the notification of
which has lust been made to Prussia and Austria,
IN answer to the abandonment those two Powers
have evinced towards him. The Emperor's third
son. Nicholas, will be King of Poland In breaking
with the two despong powers, he tells them GAS
to the parts of Poland that you unfairly possess,
whether you retain them is question that regards
yourselves and for which you will be responsible
We may, therefore, expect the speedy reunion OF
the Grand Duchy of Posen and Gahcia, without
the influence or action of either Poles or Russians
In short time you will see Hungary in arms,
raising up again the PROSTATE standard OF their ma
tonality without the protection of Russian. The
conclusion of all this is that France and England,
who ought to have taken in hand the cause of these
two natonalities, have denied their political law
and deserted their principles in submitting to the
alliance of Austria and that henceforth the strug
gle can no longer be doubtful.
The Emperor of Russia has thus made a great po-
ltical move and on the eve of the great battle he
has placed the stake on his side.

A Disastrous FLOOD. The Western papers con-
tain accounts of great frcshet on the Licking riv
er, in Kentucky. On the morning of the 10th ult,
the rain began to fall and for thrty-sx hours came
down in torrents, raising the river to unprece-
dented height. The farms and villages along the
banks were for the most part submerged and i'm
mence quantities of fencing lumber and produce
were swept away At some points the river was
eight feet higher than was ever before known. At
Caysvile the buildings in the street fronting the
river were surrounded by water to depth of from
three to five feet The suspension bridge over the
Main Licking. ut Falmouth, was so badly injured
as to be rendered useless. On the Sonth Licking
there was scarcely farmer who could count his
loss at less than from five hundred to one thousand
dollars. 1t is estimated that the entire loss in the
valley cannot fall short of one million dollars.
