RUSSIA AND PoLAND.-The following letter, con-
aiming some information on the movement in P0-
and, is dated st. Petersburg, the 4th inst.:-"No
newspaper here has dared to refer to the which
,ave occurred in Warsaw. The visits of the for
,lgn diplomatic agents TO Prince Gortschakoff
have become more frequent. The Commander-jn-
Chief of the GendarmeTie and the head of the Sc
ret police have frequent interviews with the En-
1eror. The Minister'S are likewise frequently sum-
noned to attend the Gear. He has commanded |
hat NJ. Karintzki the Secretary of the Govern
nent at Warsaw, shall come to st. Petersburg |
Several Polish students here asked permission to |
eturn to their own country, but their request was
efused. Orders have been given to the command |
.r of the first corps darmee to march into Poland.
Our young officers are dreaming of a campaign,
or it is generally expected that instruction
will break out, like the one in $780, The Govern
nent officials repeat that the present difficulties
rise from the too great federation granted to the
Poles. They assert that tranquility in Poland can
,Dy be maintained by ruling with a rod of iron.
Such is likewise the opinion of the Councillor of
State, Dolgorouki. In fact, it is difficult to believe
hat the Government will restore the self-govern-
nent of Poland. The object of Russia is to ad-
-ance into Germany, and with that view the Gov
s between the Vistua, the Narew, the Bug, and
he Wreprz. The fortresses are Modlin, four
eagues from Warsaw; Litewski, Zaneuse, and
)embn, without counting the citadel of Alexan-
Ter, at Warsaw. 1t is one of the strongest militia
positions In the world, after that of Yenetia,
