LATEST FROM POLAND. CZELA DECLARED KING. The journal published in Paris, in the Polish language, under the title of Trzeci I.laj (or, Third of May) gives, in its last number, dated Monday last, 25th instant, the following as the latest intelligence from private sources in Galicia:— " The details from the theatre of the movements are very incomplete. Bands of armed peasants continue to hold out; but their chief Czela (not Szelu) has proclaimed himself King of the Peasants. He travels in a carriage with six. horses, and surrounded by a suite of cavalry. Throughout all Galicia the peasants have discontinued to perform the work of the corvee (panszczyrna). The movement extends in every direction to the frontiers of Volhynia ani Podolia.. The murders of the superior classes still go on; and lastly, M. Golejewski, a landed proprietor (not a noble) was murdered in this way. In the circles of Zlaczow and Tarnowpol it is reported that there is, in the circle of Sambar, a camp of fifty noblemen in the forest, who are kept in a state of siege by the peasants. " There is current a report in Galicia that the Russian Government has addressed a note to the Austrian, deprecating the conduct of the latter in Galicia, and taking the Polish nobility under the protection of Russia." dI T  _le Journal des Debats publishes the following communication from Lemberg, dated the 14th inst.:— " We have just passed the three last days of Holy Week in the deepest anxiety. The report had spread throughout the province that on the 10th, or Good Friday, a general massacre of the Polish nobles and German functionaries would take place. The troops were concentrated in the towns, and large numbers of the inhabitants of the country sought refuge in them. These terrible rumours have, fortunately, not been realised. It is even said that order and tranquillity are restored in the circles of Wadowice and Bochnia. In the circie of Tarnow, the peasants not only refuse to acquit themselves of the corvees, but required the division of the land between them. It is feared that these symptoms of disorder will spread to the neighbouring provinces of Russia, where bondage prevails in all its force. The reaction may thus become more terrible still. In the circles of Jaslow and Czarstkof the peasants are already rising against the nobles. I will mention a fact which characterises the situation of affairs.

M. Lanckaronski's employs warned the Austrian authorities, who marched troops in tti3; direction; but, hitherto, the Government has acted with vigour solely against the nobles. In all the principal towns of the circles the public prisons and private houses are crowded with the unfortunate vic'ims, who await, in loathsome places where they are huddled together pell-mell, the decision of their, tate; an imperial councillor is entrusted with the proceedings against five hundred and fifty arrested persons. Each of them is examined three days together, so that there are innocent persons who will perhaps have to wait three or lour years before their case be disposed of. A. large number, unable to endure the treatment they are subjected to, havesalready died, Every family is in despair. We are reduced here to implore the imperial clemency, not to obtain oblivion and forgiveness, but judges. The situation of the province is most flimientable—all confidence has vanished. The Govepirnent dreads the nobles and the peasants; the nables,diead the locil authorities, who are the main causes of the calamities of the country, and the peasants whose fury knows no.-bounds. The peasants confound in their hatred the nobles and the Austrian authorities. They will neither obey; nor work. Thus, order and tranquility will not be restored Idr a long time to come, and our prospects are most gloomy."
