Troubles I'm Poland.

The latest intelligence received from Poland
is very unsatisfactory. Tho conscription Is en-
forced by the bayonet. A number of Uriate
peasants have been shot within the last fort
night for resisting their masters ATTEMPTS to
convert them to the Russian sehism, and 1t is
evident that the sanguinary comedy of ortho-
doSy is not yet PLAYED out, In spite Of the hui
manitaran mass affected by the Russians in
Bulgaria. The decentralization of the army. is
immense, and, a circumstance without parallel
no to the present time, the officers at Warsaw
publicly criticise the faults and follies Of the
central government. a species of panie pre-
walls everywhere. particularly among the high
functionaries. The police is very active. and
scarcely day passes without the arrest Of s5ev,,
sral emissariess Of secre. societ OF, composed of
Russian political exiles In foreign parts. who
are working up the populations in the interior,
while every. private, letter, from Vt. Petersburg
indicates a foar Of the outbreak of q revolution
at home. In all this is evident the action Of Ger
man intrigue really directed to the weakenlng
not OF Russia so much "a Of Austria, which has
gradually recovered from the effects of her dis
astrous campaign of Sndowa. aud Is tending
toward the increase Of her influence in the basin

This is shown by the great number Of surren-

month by rs. Half the members OF the cuban

The Spanish government. meanwhile. receives
all who surrender with great delicacy, setting
them at liberty Immediately. The Spanish
Generals do not expect that treaty of peace
with the insurgents would settle the question
quite satisfactorily, and are fully con-
vinced that the. insurrection can only be
effectually crushed by force of arms, by hem

ing them of all resources. and they are confident
that by the end Of April or May next Spanish
