Poland.

All accounts received from non
Russian sources agree that the Polish
revolution was still gaining in
strength. The Russians have again
suffered several defeats, aud no pro.
grcss has been made toward the sup
preston of the revolution. The COM
mittee of landed proprietors in Russian
Poland have issued circular, in
which they say they were, opposed to
the commencement Of the insurrection
under such unfavorablc circumstances,
but, nevertheless, now il has begun,
they adhere 10 it with all their heart
There can be, in general, not the slight.
est doubt that If there should be the
remotest chance of success, Poland
would be unit in the war for its in
dependence.
If the Poles can maintain them
selves little longer. it is highly
probable that they will have at the
head of their forces a number Of able
and celebrated leaders. Gen. Micro
oslawski, well known from the part
he took in the revolutions of ls4S, has
already assumed chief command, and
Gems. Klapka and Dembinski were on
the point of leaving for Poland.
The tide ofsympatby in Europe fornu-
happy Poland is rising higher. Inthe
English House of commons all parties,
without an exception, expressed their
sympathy with the Poles. The re-
ports in the French Moniteur are like
wise decidedly favorable to the Po-
lish cause. The Prussian Second Cham
Der, with an overwhelming majority,
condemned the policy of the Govern
ment and demanded the observance
Of the strictest neutrality. The Gov
enment has become alarmed at the
attitude of England, France, and
Austria, and this excitement spread
ing in Prussia. it has begun to
retrace its steps, and endeavors to
explain away the most odious features
of the convention with Russia. 1t is
fully certain by this time that, while
the Poles may expect considerable
reinforcements volunteers from Aus
tria, Prussia, and even other countries,
Russia will not have any foreign aid,
but will have the whole moral influence
of Europe against her.

WASHINGTON, June 22.--By arrivals here
tonight, it is ascertaned that Gen. Pleasan
ton yesterday morning, in his advance from
Middleburg, on the road to Ashby's Gap, en-
countered the rebel forces short distance
from the former town. He attacked them
with great impetuosity, and broke their front
The rebels resisted bravely, contesting the
ground foot by foot until when near Upper
vile, they attempted a flank movement on our
left, which was promptly met and repulsed by
Gregg's command Our light battery did
fearful execution in their ranks, while their
artillery, although well served, was compare
lively harmless. Pleasanton charged upon
the enemy in Upperville in three columns.
The advance, under Fitzpatrick, dashed into
the town, and after brisk fight drove the
rebel cavalry back, when they assumed new
position and made another stand, from
whence they were again driven and retreat
ed towards Ashby's Gap. Gen. Pleasanlon
having learned that the gap was protected by
large rebel force of infantry and artillery,
contented himself with holding the vantage
ground. and cleared the route of killed and
wounded. The enemy's force, like our own,
was composed of cavalry, light artillery and
dlsmounted skirmishers.

Affairs in Mexico.

Dates from the city of Mexico, via Acapul-
co, are to the oath ult. All the French resi-
dents have been compelled to leave the city.
Gen. Juarez had taken command of the Mex.
lean troops. The Mexican Notifications were
strengthened, and it was believed the govern
ment would flood the valley on the approach
OF the French, and make a desperate re-
slstance, in every possible manner. All
the available Mexican troops are being
drawn in towards the capital. General
Comontort is very much censured for not
relieving Puebla, and in consequence, has re-
signed. The French advance had arrived at
San Martin les Mulican. Gen. Forey had
ordered the captured Mexican Generals to be
sent to France, and the other officers to Mar
Unique. Three thousand Mexicans prisoners
zen: Forey had put to work on the railroad
leading to Vera Cruz, anil two thousand he
employed in destroying the intrenchments at
Puebla.

1t is curious to notice how cooly the eastern re-
publican states have taken this last war furry
While the great democratic middle states are alive
with excitement, and the roads are swarming with
armed men, the sole contribution of New England,
always excepting brave little Rhode Island which
is all alive) to defend Pennsylvania is one compa-
ny, the Salem Mechanics Light Infantry lhe Bos-
ton Journs also says there is PROFANITY that
Jones battery may be sent south. IL Is not true
that any OF the Massachusetts nine months men
think of returning to the scat of war.-N T. HoT'a
Massachusetts has sent to the armies OF the
republic five or six thousand men more than
her quota, while New York is understood to
be 10000 or 10000 short. Massachusetts, is
almost totally depleted; there are hardly men
enough left here to carry on the ordinary in
dustrial operations while New York has
plenty of men to whom all the appeals of the
government have heretofore been vainly ad-
dressed. There is kind of satisfaction in
the thought that if they are not willing to go
south of Washington to aid in beating the
rebel armies in the field, they have yet an OPP
portunity, such as it is, of doing something
for the defence of the neighboring state of
Pennsylvania.
