BALTIMORE.

The Government is attending to the cast
of Baltimore. On Monday evening, Gen
Butler with the gallant Sixth of Massachu
sets. (Which thus returns to hold the city
which she'd the blood Of its men on the 18th
! Of Auril,) and the Eighth y. Y. regiment
! fifteen hundred strong, with a battery o
artillery. marched through South Baltimore
to Federal Hill, Il high point of ground Oh
the Sout side Of the harbor. directly over
looking the city, and one mile west of Fort
McIIenry This Is now the head quarters
of Gen Butler, and from it he issued on
Tuesday his proclamation, placing the city
under martial law.
lie says he city is occupied for the
purpose, among other things, of enforcing
respect and obedience to laws, as well of the
State, if requested thereto by the civil au
thorities, as Of the United States, which
are being violated within its limits by
some malignant and tratorous men. But that
there may be no misunderstanding, or undue
excitement, he says:
"No loyal and we'll disposed citizen will be dis
turbed in any law full occupation or business, and
private property will not be interfered with ex-
cept property or munitions of war fitted TO aid
and support the rebellion which will be seized and
held subject to confscation. No transportation
from the city TO the rebels of articles fitted TO aid
and support troops in the field will be permitted
and the fact Of such transportation will render
the goods liable TO seizure and confscation.
CAN assemblages except ordinary police or
armed bodies OF men other than those regularly
organized and commissioned by the State Of Mary

tueieoi Tor drill and other purposes are forbidden

ne usual course of the corporate government
and Of civil authority will not be inteTforo1 -,
but on the contrary will be aided by ali the power
of the general, upon proper call being made ami
no flag, banner or device of the SO called confea
crate sta es or any Of them will be permitted to
be raised OF shown.
The general believes that If the suggestioos
and requests contained in this proc auistion be
carried out fully by the Cooperation Of all good
Union-loving people, peace and quiet will be re-
stored"
Fort McHenry is amply garriSonei with I.
force of artillerists competent to serve effect
lively every gun. And the arrest of such
traitors as Winans, and the seizure of rebel
arms, very properly follows the occupation
of the city by the U. S. forces. In all this
there is apparently cheerful acquiescence
by the now loyal population of Baltimore.
The following from the dispatches of Mon
day, is in somewhat strong contrast with the
kilograms of three weeks SINCE
Baltimore is quiet and orderly. The
American flag was everywhere displayed
rom the house tops, balconies, stores and
dwellings,. Parties of young ladies walked
along Broadway waving the stars and stripes.
md companies of volunteers marched with
music and the same Aag.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE VT.
FROM NEW YORK.

As announced in our despatch of Saturday
the Vermont Regiment sailed from New York
at three O'Clock, P. NJ. of that day, in the
first class side-wheel steamer Alabama, for
Fortress Monroe. An admiring crowd hung
around their camp in the Park from their
arrival till their departure. and accompanied
them to the steamer, while the route from
the Park to the foot OF North Moore street,
where they embarked, was lined with crowds
of people and the windows were filled with
faces, all cheering and waving hats, flags, or
handkerchiefs. A squad of twenty policemen
cleared the way before them, and they
made speedy march to the place of embark
alton.
The N. Y. Sun thus describes the depart
ure
The Park was alive on Saturday with vast
| throngs of our citizens, all eager to eaten a
| glimpse of the Green Mountain Boys. Both out

men who took Ticonderoga "by the authority Of
| God and the Continental Congress-" themselves
fully equipped and anxious to march, become ma
nous as the hour of their departure approaches
Cheers for other regiments and companies, cheers
for Vermont, and cheers for the flag to defend
which they go forth, rang through the buildings
and drowned the roar of Broadway.
At about half past o'clock the Vermonter'
moved out and formed in Broadway. Agar
cheers upon cheer rose high above the city din

POLAND.

Direct accounts from Warsaw completely confirm
the telegaphic statements respecting the Iless se-
verify with which the Russian authorities punished
the persons who took part in the Kosciusko demon
stration on the 18th utmo In spite Of the prohibi-
ton OF the police, the shops closed throughout
the city, numerous congregations assembled in the
churches, and the streets thronged. Parties Of
Cossacks cleared the streets by charging the people,
and beating all whom they overlook with the fats of
their swords and the slaves of their lances. The
churches were surrounded by soldiers, who arrested
every man that came OUT and most Of the persons
in the congregations consequently refused TO leave
the churches, detachments Of soldiers entered and
carried off 10 prison all the men and lads whom they
found. Those prisoners who were too old, too
young, or too nfrm for military service, subse
quently reeased but the Others some 1900 in num-
ber are expected to be drafted into regiments quar-
tered in distant provinces Of the Russian Empire.
Some 500 tradesmen were afterward fined Is guineas
each for the offense of closing their shops.
Since the 18th the churches have been closed by
der of the ecelesiastica authorities ard according 10
a Cracow telegram, the people gather round the
church doors to pray

Of course, continue to be made and among the per-
sons arrested are @ son OF Count Zamoyski, and
many principal inhabitants of the city.
The Russian Government Is said to have given
orders for the arrest OF the most conspicuous young
men of Warsaw, in order that they may be con-
demned for political oenses and then incorporated
in the Russian army. Latest dispatches say agita-
