House Oe Lords-Mosday, March 9. Irish Co...
Lord J . _MiSSERS ridiculed the _appreh-iuions which ¦ were entenaiued with respect to the _ninnuhibleInfluence of the Jesuits * thej were a learned and able body of men , xad _. had tfi > _.-cted much _fi-rthc spread of Christianity in various part * of the world . Speeches having been delivered in favour ofthe bill , by Messrs . Pakington , J . _O'Couue'l , Borthwick , and Milnes , aad against it , by Mr . _Estcourt , Col . Sibthorp , and Mr . Harris , the second reading was carried b y a niajoritv « f 43 .
LACE FACTORIES BILL . Mr . T . S . Duncombe presented a petition from 3 , 425 individuals engaged in la-e factories , praying the house to pass a bill for the lira * tation of ths hours of night la"bour in all factories where bobbins and net aud warp lace maehinery « vas in use . Their stated thatthe present "hours of labour were so long that their health and morals were de-. tro . ved , and they prayed that the house might pass a bill to shorten their hours of labour per day , commencing at six o ' clock in the morning aud closing at not later than ten at night Ordered to lie on the table . _ .
The hon . member then iutro meed a hill grounded on the above petition , and as tkatpetition had been received by the house , he hoped that no opposition would he _ota-cd to the hill , as he _bdieved that the government wouldletter _nboppositiou to the introduction of tn = l . m . He did uot think fit to occupy the house any _longer . The right hou . baronet , the Secretary of State , could , of course , make any objections he thought proper on the second reading , ashisassmt to the in troduction of the bill would not at aUbind him as to any future c jurse he may think fit to adopt __ .
Sir J . _GsinAX had alwayshad an objection to _interfering with tlie hours of labour . The hon . gentleman had stated very fairly that he had not refused his assent to sueb a bill ai this being brought in , particularly as that step wouid not hinder him from pursuing any course he may think tit on a future occasion , and as before tlie second reading he would have an opportunity of reading all its provisions and of seeing what was objectionable . He always understood that the 1 a * e-trade was different from the bulk of those businesses iu which machinerywas the chief means of production ; and that , therefore , there was not the same objection to _long hours in this tusines 3 ; but when the hill was brought in he would be able to state more explicitly his opinion respecting it . After a short conversation , in which Mr . J . Hcathcoate , _"JSr . Duncombe , Mr . Pielden , Colonel Rolloston , Sir George Strickland , and Sir James Graham took part , leave was given to bring in the bill .
The other business in the paper having been disposed of , the house adjourned at half-past fire o ' clock . HOUSE OF LORDS—Thursday , March 12 .
T . 1 E IRISH PACIFICATION BILL . The Earl of St . Gesmans moved the further consideration ofthe report on tbe Irish Pacification Bill . The report was then received , and the bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow .

Tue Polish Insurrection. {Continued From...
TUE POLISH INSURRECTION . { Continued from our fifth page ] of day require forcigu conquests iu . order , to strengthen herself within ? The consciousness of your national existence and the situation it holds point out something else to you Prussia holds a separate and secured station amongst the Powers of Europe , she holds an impregnable and powerful position iu Germany , and its political aggrandisement now depimds only on the spontaneous development of her strcugth and her own internal means . This position she conquered in her stru " "le for the independence in Germany .
- it requires , above all , not the continuation oi a selfish policy of dynasty and family , such as may suit Vienna , but the representation aud the support of nationality , and of the German national unity . How contrary to uature , then , is the alliance between the Prussian statethat lever of national German progress in wisdom and policy—and Russia , whose principle is tho suppression of all intellectual and moral improvement ; which , wherever its iron sceptre rules , oppresses national rights as well as those of family and conscience , and reduces man to tho level of au iuert machine I No , never will the sentiment of your national honour , never will tbe spirit of frankness so peculiarly German whieh animates you , consent to an alliance which , transforming you into voluntary instruments o £ llussian tyranny , will stamp with the seal of
ralsehood and hypocrisy the entire of your interior political life , all your efforts in favour of civilisation and of right , all that which constitutes your nationality , all your zeal for _religion , and liberty of practising it in its various forms—lastly , all which serves as a basis to the high position which jou occupy among the different nations of Germany as well as among the peoplo of Europe , And it is with this confidence that we at present tender jou the hand for a more noble fraternisation , whicli will altord you an opportunity of proving that really and seriously you are what you wish to appear in tbe eyt-s of Europe , lie assured , in the first place , that we arc firmly _persuidcd that the forces of our people will prove sufficient to break the chains of our tyrants . All we ask of you , then , is a moral assistance
ou your part ; not a cold aud egotistical neutrality , but a sympathetic ' and fraternal btmevelence lor our people when they shall agaiu rise to recover their rights by cnfgaging iu a war to the knife . We make this appeal toyou , or we are well aware tbat there are many among you who are indignant at the crimes of your Cabinet—many who , in the eyes of Europe of the 19 th century , blush for the disgrace which the shameful political brigandage of the last century has , through the medium of your governors , entailed upon Prussia . You are proud of the omnipotence of public opinion , wliich has been preserved anion ;; you in spite of the chains with which It has been attempted to bind it . Well , then , it is to it we appeal in the name even of your real iuterests . Would you but listen to us !
Vet one more word upon the future . Whatever may be the result uf our struggle , your kostility to us can never bring upon you anything but misfortune and maledictions . If we succumb , you will be the first to suffer from the conquering Muscovite . To htm the most sacred conventions aro not binding . To him the right of nations is an empty name , and you may rest assured that upon ths smoking ruins of Poland he will bring his hordes to assault your own independence . How would it be if you should then say to yourselves , "We are justly served for our conduct to Poland V How would it bo if , instead of being enabled to arm yourselves with that invincible force , the property of a noble people having justice on its side , you could but invoke with a troubled _conscience , ihe divinities , honour , national independence ,
and clvU an-: _reUgious _Uberry , outraged by your hostility to Poland ? We confide in God , and iu our own strength , to gain the victory , whilst you remain our enemies . Oh 1 then if we even could and would forget your injustice towards us , we should find our revenge in the contempt ot the people of Europe . The ground upon which your power aud prosperity rest will crumble under the vanquished allies of tbe Asiatic tyrants—for Prussia can nnver remain great aud powerful but so long as she shall possess the confidence and esteem of the generality of tlie German people , and by means of them a preponderating influence upon their intellectual and political activity . But , we prefer entertaining the consolatory
hope that our words will meet with a friendly reception at your hands , that in jour daily progress in the path of political development you will come forward openly to meet the fraternal ties which we offer you , so that our future triumph may be saluted with sympathy even by yourselves , as a victory of national liberty over the arbitrary oppression of tyranny , as the _rc-establishment ofthe protecting rampartof European civilisation to prevent the advance of Asiatic barbarity . We tender you our fraternal hand : we offer it in the name of our nation , since it cannot at present tender its own , being bound , as it is , by a foreign chain . Grasp it ; it is armed for your liberty and for tbat of Europe .
Drawn upm the laud of exile , this 29 th of November , _181-j . Paris , _Saturbay . "We write , " observes the National , " under the inspiration of two letters from the pens of combatants , now masters of Cracow ; one is a soldier , the other a Catholic clergy man—a soldier , too , whose hand trembled with emotion when he wrote his account , which is a real hymn . One of those "letters is dated Cracow , in the evening of the 22 nd of February , the provisional government having constituted and installed itself at eight o ' clock in the morning , in tlie tower of St . Christopher . The whole city was in a state of excitement , bordering on frenzy : females , mounted on horses , paraded the
streets , bearing Polish eagles and banners , embroidered with their own hands . During the entire day fresh reinforcements poured in , headed , some by noblemen , others by parish priests—the first , fully equipped aud riding splendid horses , and the others provided with all soils of arms ; and , before those volunteers repaired to the seat of government , clergymen attired in their vestments , blessed tlie arms , the _man , and the banners , amidst deafening shouts of "Poland for ever ! ' ' That adored country , ' writes the clergyman , ' so long defunct , appeared to me rising from tbe » rave . I fancied I beheld her with my own eyes , that I touched her with my own hands ! Her wounds were healed , the immortal God had animated her with his breath ; she was living .
On , emigrants , regretted friends—you , the sons of her blood , how I p ity you not to have assisted at that glorious resurrection ! ' The capture of Cracow was executed with extraordinary skill . Two faiso attacks were made , in order to draw off the attention of Prussia , on Posnania , and on the Russian frontiers . In the meantime the insurgents rallied , and , on the 19 th and 20 th , movements broke out in Gallicia , to keep the Austrian troops occupied , whilst the revolutionary government , which , -was already formed , had _addrcssedan appeal to 25 , 000 volunteers . The moment the signal lor marching was given , the
Austrian garrison of _Podgorze ( a suburb of Cracow , from which it is separated by a bridge over the Vistula ) repaired in all haste to protect the Senate and tlie residents ; but at midnight , on the 21 st of February , the Austrians were vigorously attacked , driven out of their quarters , and obliged to retire precipitately across the bridge , which was burnt by the insurgents immediately afterwards . At four o ' clock the main force of the insurgents entered the city , whose numbers amouuted to at least 12 , 000 . At eight o ' clock the provisional government issued a manifesto . " The Reforme
says—The acconnts to-diy received relative to the insurrection in Poland are of tha most serious character . Should tbe news of tbe taking of Lemberg hy the insurgents be confirmed , it must prove a success ofthe most brilliant nature , and one likely to prove of the greatest utility to them . It was before that place that the confederates of Bar failed so signally in their attempts . It is said that the Jews have espoused the cause of the revolutionists . Such adhesion will prove ef the last importance . Tiie Jens possess great financial power , and , moreover , keep up a ragular and constant correspondence with other nations . Letters have been received at Paris , by a rich banking-house , conveying intelligence of a later date than that contained in the German papers . The following is the substance of the information thus received : —
"The insurrection is rapidly spreading . It has already reached the _liussian provinces . It has extended to Courlandeand Livonia , Entire regiments have passed over to the side of the insurgents . "On ths Austrian frontier some Hungarian and Italian regiments have likewise joined the insurgents . Paris , _Susuat . Various and numerous are the reports circulating at Paris touching the insurrection in the Polish provinces ; it was even said that it had spread to Hungary and Lombardy . Up to the present moment , however , these reports are void of foundation . The insurrection is confined to the Polish provinces ; and Lemberg , tbe capital of Gallicia , is not in the power of the insurgents , as was reported . The state of things at Cracow on the 27 th of February , five days after the retreat of the Austrians , remained the same .
The Austrian troops , driven from Cracow , were still at _Wadowizc , but surrounded and harassed by the insurgents , and their communications with Bohemia , whence they expected reinforcements , cut off . General Count Urbnahas been named Commanderin-Chief of all the troops in Gallicia . The Count of Brandenburg has been recalled , and one of the papers announces his return to Breslau . lie is replaced by Lieutenant-General llonr . The provisional government , nuzzled by the
conduct of the Prussian army , who remained passive , had opened negotiations with Count Brandenburg . The provisional government declared loudly that they desired peace with Prussia , and that they would leave Cracow to their cave , should they be called elsewhere to seek sifety from the combined armies of Austria and Russia . But , according to a letter received to-day , it seems that this negotiation has met with serious obstacles from the iutcrior ot * the republic , and the provisional government has been Wanted for letting themselves be deluded by hopes which nothing _justii ' es .
"Nevertheless , terrible symptoms , not of insurrection , but of regular pillaging _. ' have manifested themselves in the German province of Silesia . According to the same letter , and the information is confirmed by the Cologne Gazette oi" tlie Oth of March , the town of . Nicolai _, the property of Prince Anhallrliocthen

distant ten leagues from Craeow „ on tue high road to Berlin , ami on the line of communication of . General ltohr , has been reduced to iishes by some persons unknown , who set fire to the four quarters of the town . The greatest order reigns at Cracow . All the valuables ol the Cathedral have been taken for the public good , with the exception of the ornaments belonging to the tombsof Sobieski , Kosciusko , and ot Prince Joseph Poniatowski , where a guard of honour has been placed . The provisional government has obtained funds from some of the bankers and Jews without guarantee , and at the _interest of five per cent . It is utterly impossible for us to give a just calculation of the forces of the insurgents ; it is certain that since _Gallida is open to them they have great resources .
Gallicia extends over a surface of _aboitt eighty square _leaaues along the banks of the Vistula , and has a population of 122 , 000 souls . According to the Cologne Gazette , Louis Garskowski , one of the members of tlie government , was formerly librarian to the Museum of Natural History nt Cracow ; Johu Lisowski , of Tyssowski , is a physician ; the third is a simple citizen of Cracow , named Grzegonewski , They are all young men of enei _^ y and courage . The _liadical French journals have already opened a subscription towards the expenses of the insurrection ; and it is asserted that a committee is now forming to assist the movement , and excite the sympathy ofthe French people in favour of its success . "
MOVEMENTS OF THE POLISH REFUGEES . The Journal des Mats ot * Sunday states that—On _Satunlay morning , iu the midst of a considerable number of Polish refugees , who crowded to the Hotel Lambert , to visit Prince Czartoryski , attracted naturally by the exciting news from Poland , the principal members ofa political association , styled the Monarchical Society ofthe 3 rd of May , having at thsir head their president , Colonel _Ilreaaslci , presented an address to Prince Czartoryski , in the name of more than one thousand members , all Polish emigrants , of which this association is composed . Tbe sentiments expressed by that important fraction of the Polish emigration _ivera declarations of union and confidence in him whom those emigrants design as their natural leader . . They promise Prince Czar .
toryski the most constant assistance and strict obedience to his commands , persuaded that , however great may be their generous impatience , his aid is particularly necessary , iu order that the emigrants , by their representatives , may efficaciously join in the heroic contest which is _reeoiiimciiciii _fe" in _Poland . They conclude by deelaring ' that the time for sacrifices having arrived , they offer to those of their companions in exile , who do not participate in the opinions wliich the society ofthe 3 rd Ma ; has propagated during several years , the prbusionnl surrender of their doctrines and of their theories , in order to unite the entire body of emigrants in one band , directed by the Prince , and affording him their support . The Prince replied by paying homage to the heioic rising which has takeu place on several points of Poland . He
declared that be was determined to aid it by all means in his power . Those means would , no doubt , be increased by the assistante of the exiles , Then , without waiting longer , tliey might furnish considerable support'to the country . They would obtain for Poland allies , a loan , and the universal support of public opinion . In expressing his gratitude to the Society of the 3 d liny , the Prince explicitly declared , that from the period ofthe _foundation of the society to the present moment , whilst he rendered full Justice to the spirit ol order , of dicipline , and of devotion of its members , he had ever regretted that that society , whose tendency to a national insurrection aud monarchical doctrines he approved , had thought nt to extend the application of that principle to his person , so
that whilst it was only an idea , it deprived his life , said the Prince , of that character which it was his ambition to acquire , that of thu purest disinterestedness in the service of his country . In abandoning its theories to unite all hearts in a common aud concerted action , the Society of the 3 d of May removed the sole barrier which separated it from him . He accepted it with joy , he said , and the example of the sacrifice wliich it had made . He likewise could not forget that , at present , Poland alone could appoint a leader , or constitute a national government . He would continue to serve the cause , to speak to foreign nations in the name of Poland , but he would be ready , every day , to give tbe first example of obedience to the manifestations of the national will ,
GERMAN SYMPATHY . Letters from Coblentz state , that several inhabitants of the ' lower order" were arrested there in the evening of the 1 st , in consequence of a riot between them and some soldiers at a public-house . The" mob" attempted a rescue , and threw stones at the patrol , at the same time shouting— "Long live thePoles ; " but tranquillity was immediately restored on the appearance of the governor with two companies of the line . Paris , Monday .
fhe German journals which arrived this morning do not bring much news respecting the insurrection in Poland . The Augsburg Gazette states that General Paskewitsch has ottered to place a corps _d'sirniue at tho service ofthe Archduke Ferdinand of Austria , but that it is not probable that the oiler will be-accepted , as the Austrians consider their own force more than sufficient to put down the insurrection in their part of the Polish territory . The Austrian Observer publishes the following report by General Collin ofthe defeat of the insurgents at Podgorze : — _PoDoonzE _, Feb . 27 . I yesterday afternoon left Wadowizc with lire companies of the 2 nd battalion of Sulnaeling infantry , the 3 rd battalion of Prince Werther ' s regiment , the militia corps , a squadron of light cavalry , and a half battery . Having passed the night at Isbebuik ,. I continued my inarch , and arrived before Podgorze at six a . m .
The insurgents had takes possession of the first floors of tho houses iu the principal streets , and of the Treasury , irom which they fired upon my troops , After a short resistance , they took to flight , and passed the bridge of Cracow . During that operation they lost a great many men . A short tiino afterwards I was attacked in the rear by a battalion whicli hud arrived at Welieczka from Cracow . My troops met the attack of the _assnilauts with great bravery . A great number of the rebels wer killed , and 8 'J made prisoners . Tha remainder dispersed . We had one man killed and seven wounded . To-morrow morning reinforcements will arrive here , when I will despatch two companies of militia and some cavalry to Welieczka , for I am at present in ignorance of what is trauspiring in that town . Several more arrests have been made at Posen , but the whole of Prussiau Polaud is said to bo " tranquil . " The National publishes the following appeal of M . J . llicciardi , to the Italian refugees ;—
Permit me , through your medium , to address an appeal to my fellow countrymen , thrown on ihc land of exile , and who , like me , devoted their life to the cause of liberty . A heroic nation has risen once more in Europe—a nation in possession of universal sympathy , but whom we must look upon with a fraternal eye , for dismembered and oppressed like Italy , it is desirous to acquire that unity and independence after which we ardently sigh . Our two causes being identical , until Italy rise once more , all our countrymen should not only offer their pecuniary mite , but be ready to take an active part in the sublime effort now makingby the Polish nation . Being certain of anticipating aud expressing the sentiments of my brethren , I did not hesitate to take the initiative , and 1 have every confidence that my appeal will be heard , Messrs . de Rochau and Venedcz , two German refugees , had inserted the following letter in the Refonne : —
The pai t which Prussia and Austria have acted in the partition of Poland is a sanguinary stigma on the honour ofthe German nation , which it can only efface by _asjisting Polaud with all its influence aud might iu reconquering her liberty and nationality . It is not _only a most sacred duty , but the dearest interest of every German priding himself on being a man of honour , and possessing a shadow of sentiments of justice and national conscience , to support the Polish people with his most active sympathies in the work of resurrection , on which she has again entered with so much devotion and eeUt . Iu depositing our ottering in favour of Poland , we express a hope that public conscience may at last compel tho Governments to render justice to so noble and heroic a people , whoBe misfortune aud bondage will be as long as they endure an indelible disgrace for the German nation , Paris , March 8 , _181 G . We also extract the following letter from the Reforme : —
TO TnS rOMSII _VOtOSHJEBS . i , Paris , March 7 . Time presses , our brethren are shedding their blood for our dear country ! Every minute lost will be hereafter imputed to us as a crime . Let us prove to the world that Polish blood still flows in our veius , and that sufferings of every description have not cooled the warm patriotism which burns in our bosoms , and wliich is reanimated in them at every instant like a divine spark of the sacred fire of the holiest of causes . Consequently , without any consultation , without the cold _calculation of reason , in the name of the Father , the Son , the Holy Ghost , and our country , we are repairing to Poland .
If our brethren , according to cold calculating minds , are committing a folly for Poland , it behoves us exiled soldiers to concur in that folly i Nicholas _Kamiensk ' , formerly Commander ot a Regiment of Cavalry . Rudski , Major . Uaginski , Alaior . Olszevski , Captain . Some of our Gallic contemporaries are extremely anxious to know what part the French government ought to take with regard to the insurrection in Poland . The Courricr Francais , for instance ,
speculates on the meeting of the Opposition Deputies in one of the Bureaux of tho Chamber , announced for Tuesday , and at which M . JJupont ( de 1 'Euit ) is to preside . The Courricr is decidedly in favour of an active interference on behalf of the Polish insurgents , and the National is even more revolutionary than the Poles themselves . The Steele has an article much iii the same spirit as those of the Courrier Francais and the National , but the _Consthutionnd directs its attention chiefly to _llnssia . In the course of some observations on the rising ofa portion of the Polish provinces , the _ConstUiitwrnel says :- , "Russia lias

been resolved to obliterate the very last trace oi ancient Poland ; she has . proscribed her language , proscribed her religion , ; and now provokes imprudent outbreaks in order to create a p lausible pretence for tearing from the country , by death , by slavery , or by exile , theilite of its population , all that were able to counteract the work of Russia and bring about at least a renovation . Russian despotism—that combination of all the cruelty of the East , with ( lie _calculations and refinements of civilisation—h as long been pronounced upon , ' . ' The ministerial journal , the Epoquc , thinks it { lie more prudent course to await further intelligence before it pronounce * itself on tiie real character ofthe insurrection of Cracow—whilst the Mats is silent , confining itself simply to the record of events as they come to hand .

The correspondent of the London Daily News states that M . _Guizot dispatched a courier on Sunday evening from Paris to Vienna , the bearer of instructions to the Comtc de Flahaub , the French ambassador in that capital , the object of which instructions waste
declare to Prince Mctternieh that the cabinet ol the Tuilleries , wishing to remain foreign to the execution of the treaties of Vienna , would neither interfere directly or indirectly in the efforts nf the northern courts to put down the Polish revolution . But that , on the other hand , Prance was too much interested in maintaining peace and tranquillity in Europe to oppose the measures whicli the northern courts might think necessary for . re-establishing order in the republic of Cracow . He adds , that Count _d'Appony , the Austrian ambassador in Paris , has assured M . Guizot that the northern courts , in occupying the territory of the Cracovian republic , have no intention to destroy the independence which the Congress of Vienna guaranteed to that republic ,
Another Outbkeak at Poskk . —It appears by an article from Berlin , of the oth , that an unsuccessful attempt was made at Posen , on the night of the 3 rd , to deliver the political prisoners .

" It is not merely the voice of justice and of humanity ivhiclt protests in favour of Poland , it is the national interests of Germany , it is au interest of security for the whole of Europe . " "This , " adds the Siecle , " is now the universalopinion at the other side of the Rhine ; some day it will bear its fruit . But in order that a prompt and vigorous resolution should sparo new proofs to humanity and new misfortunes to a nation wliich has already suffered so much , there should be upon the throne of Prussia , a grandson worthy of his illustrious ancestor , Frederick the Great , and in France a government which had not lost at once the tradition of the grandeur of France and all recollection ofthe revolution of July . " Paris , Tuesday .
Sympathy for the Poles is gaining ground . Last night an attempt was made at the Opera to get up a demonstration . The Radicals mustered rather strong in the pit , and between the first and second acts of the _Zwci ' c de Lomvmermoor cries were uttered of "Vive la Pologne ! " "La Cracovienne ! " "La Marseillaise ! " The orchestra having commenced the second act , matters went on quietly till the curtain dropped , when the cries were repeated amidst shouts of " A bas les tyrans ! " An immense number of police-agents occupied the different parts of the
house , who forcibly suppressed the interruption of the performance by arresting several of the young men . To-day between seventy and eighty deputies assembled at the Chamber of Deputies , under the presidency of M . Dupont ( de rEure ) , and passed resolutions and entered into subscriptions in favour of the patriots . At nearly all the newspaper offices subscriptions are also received . The correspondent of the Times says ;— " I met , coming out of the bureau ot the National to-day , among others , the veteran General ( Arthur ) O'Connor , who said he had just been to deposit his mite .

Londos , Friday Morniso . The daily journals ef this morning state poa sitively the
OCCUPATION OF CRACOW "BY THE THREE POWERS . "The town and territory of Cracow are in the hands of the three powers . Whilst negotiations were going on between General Collin and the Prussian Commander , relative to the terms of capitulation , the Russian troops on the frontier advanced by the Oliuutz road , straight on the city , and took possession without a blow being struck . " Some accounts represent that the entire of tlie young and active part of
tlie populationhad abandoned the place and entered Gallicia . Only a few old men , besides women and children , remained . On the other hand , the Prussian Universal Gazette asserts that 200 mounted insurgents , and 600 others , armed withscithes , had surrendered to tlie Prussians , when they entered the territory of Cracow . They were marched , after being disarmed , to liosel . Even if this is true , many thousands oi the insurgents must have made good their retreat , and will undoubted '} ' spread the insurrection through the country .
REPORTED INSURRECTIONS IN LITHUANIA . SAMOG 1 TIA , AND THE UKRAINE . The National of Wednesday says : — The accounts which we have to-day received from tke same source to wliich we are indebted for the manifesto of the insurrection , form a strange contrast to the rumours repeated by some of the tfcrniau papers . We understand , from private letters , that the principal object « t' ( he insurgents is to avoid a regular engagement with the allied troops of Russia , Prussia , aud Austria . They are at present trying to rally the numerous deserters who have come to place themselves uuder the ll _.-, g
of _independence . " The regiments of _Mazzuchelh and Bertolette , " say tliose letters , " no longer exist . Both officers-and soldiers _desert by companies , and go over to the insurgents . The march of the Prussians upon Cracow ban been arrested by the troubles in Silesia , and by the spread of the insurrection iu Lithuania . Saniogitia ami Ukraine have commenced their movement . Everything appears to indicate that Russia will be attacked to thu very core . A band of insurgents has uiudo its appearance at _Seicloe ( fifteen leagues above Warsaw ) , and _cauied suuh _cunstei'iutiou in the capital , that General Abrainowicz has placed it in a state of siege . The Reforme says : —
The report of au insurrection in Saniogitia has been confirmed . This is an event of the most vital importance , iu consequence of that province having some ports upon the Baltic . With respect to the reports current of the occupation of the town of Cracow by ihe allied troops , cveu should it be found to be the case , such event is but of minor importance , and can exercise no influence upon the revolution . The leaders of the insurrection never intended to defend Cracow against the combined forces of Russia , Prussia , and Austria . Letters which have today reached Paris , announce that the whole of Gallicia wns a eheval ( in a state of insurrection ); therefore , what _surnities it that a town should succumb when an entire province rises at the same moment ?
REPORTED CAPTURE OF LEMBERG BY THE POLES—INSURRECTION IN RUSSIAN POLAND J The Siecle of Wednesday states , on the authority of a letter from Breslau , dated at ten o ' cloek on the night of tlie 3 rd inst ,, that Lemberg had fallen into the hands of the Polish insurgents , and that a formidable insurrection had arisen in the Polish provinces of Russia . The following is a copy of tho address issued by the Polish Committee in Paris : —
The eftorts of tho Poles to recover their nationality , the claims whicli are so solemnly inscribed in treaties , claims which the legislative Chambers of franco recall eacli year to the attention of . Europe by unanimous votes _; the heroic courage of a peopie who bravo death in the most sacred cause ; tho sad thought that at tho present moment new martyrs are sealing with Wood their faith iu the powor of right ; these circumstances have caused a deep feeling iu France . All parties , forgetting their divisions , have united in oue burst of sympathy ; the undersigned , feeling that they are called upon to act , httveouened a subscription .
Tho subscription collected in the committee-room amounts to about C , 000 francs ; but at the office of the National upwards of 10 , 000 francs have been reeeived , and the _Constitutiomiel has subscribed l , 000 f . London , Saturday , Morning . The surrender of Cracow is continued by the following intelligence : — Vienna , March 6 . —( From the Austrian Observer . )—Captain _Deivald , who has just arrived from Lemborg , at three in the afternoon , with despatches from llis _^ inpci'iill Highness the Archduke Ferdinand , Governor-General ol Gallicia , reached Podgorze on Tuesday , the 3 rd , at four o ' clock in the afternoon ; he there learned that Cracow was occupied by the Imperial troops . He , therefore ,
immediately went to that city over the bridge , which bad been restored , anil was occupied by infantry . He found thu entrance occupied b y the Imperial troops , which also had possession of the principal square : anil there was also a Russian battalion and a detachment ofCossai'l's which had passed tlie neighbouring frontier . Some detachments of insurgents , which left the city before the entrance of the Imperial troops , had retired into the western part of the territory of the republic . Perfect traniiuillity prevailed in the city . A tew hours before the entrance ofthe Imperial troops the following proclamation of a Provisional Committee of Public Safety was addressed to the inhabitants of Cracow : — '' Fur ths satisfaction of the inhabitants , notice is heieby giveu , that iu order to learn the will of thy three _protectiuff powera

The Poles In London. [From The Morning A...
THE POLES IN LONDON . [ From the Morning Advertiser . ] MoNDii _* . —In consequence of exciting information , received through private channels , a numcrousmeeting of the Poles in London was held at their Clubhouse , for the purpose of considering the best course to be taken by the Emigrants under the present circumstances of their country . Tho meeting was , of course , exclusively Polish , and the proceedings were private . However , we learn from the best authority , that the intelligence received was considered to be of a highly encouraging nature , and the exiles present were in the highest spirits , expressing universally the most lively hopes .
TuESDAy . —Several meetings ofthe Poles took place yesterday , of which little has transpired except that an unbroken unanimity prevails . The Poles in this country arc naturally enough kept back from forming , or perhaps it might be said , from promulgating any decided intentions from the uncertainty of the information which they have yet been able to obtain . It is , however , regarded as greatly in favour of their most sanguine hopes , that all tho news whicli the west of Europe receives , through the most suspicious sources , is capable of . an encouraging construction . They entertain no doubt —( and who can ?)— that the best is kept back and the worst made the most
ot . __ The reported betrayal of the Polish nobles by their peasants into the hands of the Austrians , is looked upon as a mere fable . No reliance is placed upon the statements published in the German and French journals , nor even upon private communications received through the post-office . An opinion prevails that the Bureau Inqaishuire , near Saint Paul ' s , might withhold cheering information until it would be useless to any but the enemy . Through less doubtful means , reports fully believed are received that General Szenibck has taken the command ofthe National Army in Gallicia , and that some ol the most important pel-sons arrested at Posen have made their escape—among them Miecalawski .
Szembek was not concerned in the first movement at Cracow , but at tho first announcement of the outbreak he was conjectured _ty the German press to have some connection with it . There is now little doubt that in the most trying moment of the insurrection , he has nobly put himself at the head of the Gallician forces , perhaps at the sacrifice of his estates , tho remnants of which , even under Austrian rule , have yielded him hitherto 40 , 000 dollars a year . Wednesday—The exiles continue in a state of great anxiety , or , it should rather l > c said , ol * eagerness , to learn the exact state of affairs in Poland , the official document from the Austrian officer at Tarnow , published in the London papers of yesterday ,
tending greatly to confirm their conviction that all the adverse statements aro false or exaggerated , and that tiie revolution is advancing favourably . The Austrians , it will have been obseived , in boasting that the peasants murdered or betrayed the revolutionary nobles at Tarnow , admit that " tliose same peasants are partisans ot the revolution . The manner in which the continental journals , as quoted in the Times of yesterday , mention Chlopieki , is also believed to afford grounds of hope , They say that Chlopicki has taken the command of the _G-illicwn troops , and that he commanded at the battle of Grochow . The latter statement is supposed to indicate that the agents of the powers dread to mention tlie name of tlie redoubted Skrzynecki , who was the
commander on that ever-memorable occasion . It could not be by accident or mistake that the wavering , although brave Chlopicki , is named as . the general at Grot-how . The fact is too well known to history , that ho had , in a pet , resigned the Dictatorship some time before , and that he served under Skrzynecki as a volunteer . It maybe as well to state here what many may have forgotten for a time , but which history will never forget . When Diebitseh was approaching Warsaw , fully resolved to carry out the command of his master , and crush the revolution at a blow , Skrzynecki advanced from _Wtirsaw to give him battle , and took up his position at Grocliow , about seven miles from the city , making the little wood of alder trees a . point
d appid , which ultimately proved of great importance . His forces , including the students and other raw recruits , amounted to 45 , 000 men and 20 pieces ot cannon . The force of Diebitsch amounted to 130 , 000 men , with 100 pieces of cannon . With such odds against him , Skrzynecki held his ground from five o ' clock in the morning of the 25 th of February , 1831 , until noon , when the wood having been nearly scattered iu the air by the enemy ' s artillery , he sent to the volunteer , Chlopicki , for advice , saying that he couid "hold the wood no longer . " The answer he received is this day echoed in the aspirations ol" the Poles to the new revolution—Zjema zembani _!—'' Hold it with your teeth ! " He did so : and chiefly
by the exertions of the new corps of students , anil of the gallant 4 th of the line , the Russians were driven back , and before sunset were in full retreat ! The Emperor , after the suppression of tlie revolution , ordered the alder trees of the glorious little wood to be uprooted j as if , by this paltry act of spite , he could efface from history the glorious battle in which the youths of a university , with a few veterans , tore from the brow of Diebitsch the laurels which he had gathered in the defiles of the Balcan , and struck the soul ofthe barbarian with chagrin , which soon afterwards accompanied him to his grave . \ Vell may Russia dread the name of Skrzynecki , whom may heaven speed on his course when next he turns his horn ' s head to the Bust I

ADDRESS OF TIIE POLISH COMMITTEE TO THE BRITISH XAT 10 _N . Poland is again in arms ! The struggle against tha invaders of our land , agaiust the oppressors of our liberties und persecutors of our consciences , has begun anew . Separated from our homes by suns and by hostile lauds , unable at this moment to share the efforts aud the danger * of our brethren , can we remain iniliffarent and silout to their appeal 1 Hare we no duty to pwrforni at the present crisis ! To you , people of this realm , we owe the _dtspott gratitude for the shelter and hospitality which you havo atfordud us . _Hiitory will do justice to you in handing down to th * respeet of posterity your generosity towards
us . Out to Poland we owe our last drop of blood ; and we are randy to shed it for her defence . Duty , honour , _patriotiim , and all that is held aacred and honourable amongst men , bind us to serve ber—to serve ber te the utmost—to serve her according to our peculiar position . On her behalf , therefore , we appeal to you . Tha wrongs cf our country are uot of rec « nt date . History has pointed them out . The world knows them all ; ev « n our enemies have acknowledged th « m . Poland , a frco and independent country , which has rendered essential services to Christendom and civilisation —the land of _Sobwski , _Konciusl-i , and Copernicus , that was 111177- ' , invaded by three neighbouring powers ( Ru 3 . sia , Prussia , and Austria ) , who had leagued _themselves against her for the destruction of her political existence . This infamous act was finally accomplished in 1795 , by the partition of Poland ,
Since that period up to the present day the history of the Polish people presents but one chain of unceasing efforts , sacrifices , and sufferings . Alas ! all unprofitable . The last 3 trugglu of the Poles for their independence , in 1830-31 , is still fresh in your memory . Nations who love freedom offered prayers for our succuss , and shed tears for our di'feat . Poland , once more doomed to see her efforts and hopes _frustrated , became mora than ever a victim of the per . _sccathig spirit and the revenge of the Czar of Russia . Who can enumerate all the horrors o ( oppression inllictud upon unfortunate Poland during ihe last fifteen years ?
1 ho depopulation of her territory , produced hy the forced transplantation of the inhabitants to distant parts ofthe empire , ami hy the compulsory enrolment of our youths in the army of our oppressor , that they might perish by thousands in the barbarous warfare which he carries on against the brave mountainours ofthe Caucasus —the suppression of our schools aud universities , aud

all the iniquitous means deliberately and _systematically employed to destroy our language , and obliterate our nationality . The introduction of a perverted system of education—the proscription of our faith—tho destruction of our churchei—tii * persecutionof bur Jewish population—the confiscation of our property—the tortures inflicted on political prisoner . " ! , to extort from them the avowal of suspected crimes—the entire destruction of every guarantee for individual liberty—banishment to Siberia on the bare suspicion of patriotic sentiments— , children torn from their mother *—their mothers _expoaod tu the lashes of the Russian soldiery . These and other enormititts , for which the page of history does not furnish a parallel , shew to what extent of tyranny the y » ke of Russia has heen accompanied , and , as we believe , form a
sufhcientjustiticatioiibufore God and man , lor tmdeavour . _ing to shake it off . Many of these facts have been doubted iu this country , on the solo ground tbat they are too dreadful to be true , jand because you are too humane to imagine of what Russian barbarity is capable . Yet all these hurrors aro true ! Would you endure quietly such atrocities 1 Would you ever submit to that misciy and degradation to which our enemies havo subjected us for so many years 1 Or , whilst yourselves enjoying the blessings of _xood government , of good laws , of freedom , arid of all that the heart of a patriot would desire , will you remain indifferent to the voice of ' - ' 0 , 000 , 000 of your _fellow-creaturcs calling upon you from Poland ? Will yon condemn them as guilty of a rash aud mud attempt because abandoned by
all but God , _whirn the time appeared pressing , when longer delay might have only increased their difficulties , the Polish people , trusting to the justice of their cause , and tho Almighty defender of the oppressed , rushed to arms as their last resource ; because they have doue their duty—the duty of patriots ? No ; our cause is righteous ; the first duty of our lives is devotedness to our country . Your ablest politicians have declared the partition of Poland an infamous act ; your most eminent statesmen have acknowledged the necessity of her restoration for the balance of European power . Now is tha time ! Poland is in arms ! She is in arms , not for the sake of any wild theories of government , but for the sake of that which is admitted to bu a right by every reasoner , and felt as an instinct by erery man—national
existence , She is in arms , not for the purpose of re . placing one form of government by another , but for the sake of freeing hersulf from the dominion of foreigners . She is in arras , not for the advantage of any one class in the nation , but for the welfare of all . Will you , _peopleof Great Britain and Ireland—will other free nations—forsake her again ! Can you refuse her your sympathy in this sacred struggle ? No ! we have lived amongst yon for these twelve years , and we Know you well . Your hearts are too feeling , and animated with too noble sentiments , not to send a word of consolation to our brethren now struggling against their . formidable enemy . You cannot _rufusc _tln-nv your helping hand ; for , believe us , the _enemitis of Poland are also enemies to the greatness and welfare of your country , to your liberties , and form of your government , of which you have had many a
proof ; they hate your free institutions and your manly feelings as they hate us ! Let the public opinion of this country pronounce in favour of Poland . Let your voice bit heard through your Parliament . Let it be heard in every country throughout the world . Let England and Prance , the two great nations standing at the head of the liberty and civilisation of Europe , unite in expressing their wish for the success of the Polish people who have taken up arms to regain their rights , and Poland must be victorious . Should she fail now , still you will htrve the satisfaction to think that you have not forsaken her . But , if she has risen , as we earnestly hope aud believe , to fall no more , tha last cannon fired upon the retreating invader of our country , will announce a perfect ponce to Europe ; and Poland willresume her formerplace amongst free and civilised nations .
