lord J . Mansebs ridiculed the apprehensions which ¦ wer e entertained with respect to the formidable influence of the Jesuits : they were a learned andab ' e btfdrof men , snd had effected much f-r the spread of Christianity in various parts of the world . i Speeches having been delivered in favour of the bill , bv Messrs . Pakington , 3 . 0 'Conne 1 , Uonb wick , and Milnes , and against it , by Mr . Ectcourt , Col . Sibthorp , and Mr . Harris , the second reading was carried by a mnjoritj « fi 3 . LACE FACTORIES BILL .
Mr . T . S . Dokcombe presented a petition from 3 , 425 individuals engaged in la * e factories :, prajiog tile house to pass a bill fur the Hi citation of the hours of sight labour in all factories where bobbins and net and warp lace machinery was in use . They stated that the present hoars of labour were so long that their health aud morals ¦ were destroyed , and they preyed that the house might pass a bill to shorten their hours of labour | ier day , commencing at six o ' clock in the morning and closing at not later than ten at night . Ordered to lie on the table .
Tlie hon . member tb « n introinced a bill grounded on the above petition , and as that petition had bewi received by the home , he hoped that no opposition would be offered to the bill , as he believed that the governmentwould offer noopposition to the introduction of the hill . He did not think fit to occupy the house any lonRer . The right hoa . baronet , the Secretary of State , could , of course , make any obje ctions he thought proper on the second reading , as bis assent to the introduction of the bill would not at all bind him as to any future course he may think fit to adopt . __ .. . .
Sir 3 . Gbi 5 * x had always had an objection to interfering with the hours of labour . The hon . gentleman hau stated very fairly that he had not refused his assent to such a bill as this being brought in , particularly as that step would not hinder him from pursuing any course he mey think fit on a future occasion , and as befora the secondreading he would hare an opportunity of reading all is provisions and of seeing what was objectionable . He always understood that the lace-trade wa » different from the bulk of those businesses in which machinery was the chief means of production ; and that , therefore , there was not the same objection to lonp hours in this Trasiness ; bnt when the bill was brought in he would be able to state more explicitly his opinion respecting it . After a short conversation in which Mr . J . Heathcoate , Mr . I > uncombe , Mr . Fielden , Colonel Roli « ston , Sir George Strickland , and Sir James Graham took part , leave was given to brine 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—Thorsdat , March 12 . THE IRISH PACIFICATION . BILL . The Earl of St . Germans moved the further consideration of the report on the Irish Pacification Bill . The report was then received , and the bill ordered to he read a third time to-morrow . Earl Gfisr gave notice of hit intention , on Monday -week , to move an address to her Majesty on the state of Ireland generally . Their Lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS—Thursday , March 12 . There being only thirty-four members at four o'clock , the house was adjourned till to-morrow . HOUSE OF COMMONS-Thursdat , March 5 . [ From oar Second Edition of last week . ]
THE ANDOVER UNION . Mr . Etwall then moved , pursuant to notice , for the appoiutmest of a Select Committee to inquire into the administration of the Poor Laws in the Andover Union , and into the management of the Union Workhouse . The hon . member vent at considerable length into the details of the occurrences that took place in the Andover Union , which Se considered as highly disgraceful , aad called loudly for inquiry . Sir James Gbaham stated that the various grievances referred to had been subsequently remedied . It was desirable that the house should be in
possession of all the papers relating to these transactions before the Committee was appointed . He should therefore move as an amendment the production of those documents . Mr . Parker had been dismissed on other grounds than his conduct on the Andover Inquiry : the Commissionerscomplained of his having been guilty of general insubordination towards-his superiors . Mr . Waklet considered that the proposed investigation would be rendered more complete by the production of the papers to which Sir James Graham hadreferred . He { Mr . Wakley ) feltthatifeverthere cime before the house a subject which demanded the most careful investigation it was thepresent .
Mr . Christie complained that a very insufficient opportunity had as yet been afforded to Mr . Parker for the vindication of his conduct . MacdougaL the displaced master of the Andover workhouse , also : was entitled to a further hearing , and it was requisite that the Poor Law Commissioners should themselves be permitted to explain the part they had taken in these transactions . Mr . Ferrakd recurred at some length to the proceedings ia the "Mott case . " He concluded by saying that he firmly be ieved the exposure which had taken place to-night vias ' the beginning of the end of the new Poor Law , as well as of the Poor Law Commission , and light heartily would he rejoice if the end of this session should see the death of that law , and the Jissolution of the present Minify . Ca tain Pechell si o ; e in favour of the motion .
Mr . T . Duscombe asked the right hon . baronet whether he really thought his amendment for the production of Mr . Parker ' s report , the evidence with respect to bone crushing in the Andover Union , &c ., would be satisfactory to the house or the country in lieu of the proposed inquiry ? Did the right hon . baronet really suppose that the production of tho-e papers would settle the case ? They had been told that the conduct of the Poor Law Commissioners would prove to be unimpeachable , and beyond suspicion , when they knew the facts of the case . They wanted to know the facts of the case , and how could those facts be arrived at except by a committee . Mr . Parker appeared to be a most unfortunate person , fur he seemed to have given satisfaction to no
one . The only mistake that gentleman made , was to resign his ofice . He ought to hare thrown the responsibility of his dismissal on the Poor Law Commissioners , and if his statement were correct , he vrould then have had the public with him . Instead of that , the Poor Law Cmnmissioners recommended Mr . Parker to resign . Why he ( Mr . Duncombe ) had heard hon . gentlemen in that house , over and over again , reommendthe Ministers to resign ; but they did not take that advice . ( Laughter . ) They waited till a majority turned them out , and then they were sometimes replaced by worse . ( Laughter . ) Mr . Parker asked for an inquiry , and when a man courted inquire , generally speaking , the presumption was in his favour .
After speeches from Mr . P . Borth wick , Mr . Hume , Lord PolLngtoa , Mr . Jervis , Gen . Johnson , and Mr . Aglionby , : Mr . S . Shawford and Mr . Fielding urged upon government to concede the inquiry , and Sir J . Graham then withdrew his amendment . Col . Sistuorp inveighed against the constitution of the Poor Law Commissioners . Mr . Christie then moved the addition of farther words to the motion , the effect being to extend the inquiry into the conduct of the Poor Law Commissioners and Mr . Parker , relative to the two investigations held at Andover , and into all the circumstances under which the Poor Law Commissioners Lad called npon Jir . Parker to resign his assistant commissionership . The house tiien divided , when the numbers were—For Mr . Christie ' s amendment 92 Against it ^ 69 Majority for the amendment ...... — 23
r " THE POLISH NUNS . Mr . Cowpsr moved for copies of despatches received by ^ the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs , containing information relative to the injuries inflicted upon tbe Brazilian Nuns of Minsk . Sir It . Phel announced that no despatches had been'received from our ambassador at Petersburg relative to this subject , but that the Consul at Warsaw had written to contradict the report . He ( Sir K . Peel ) altogether discredited the statement in question , or at least believed it a j-ross exaggeration . Mr . T . DcscoMiiE and Dr . Bowrisg strongly denounced the alleged barbarities of the Russian government . Mr . Cowfer being satisfied with Sir It . Peel's explanation , withdrew his motion . The other orders were then disposed of , and the house adjourned . HOUSE OF LORDS-Friday , March 6 .
IRISH COERCION BILL . The house resolved itself int » Committee on the Irish Coercion Bill , after the Earl of St . Germans and explained the amendments intended by the government , and stated his opinion of those proposed by different noble lords . ¦ ¦ The consideration of the several clauses gave rise to much discussion , in thecourse of which Earl Grey attacked the Irish landlords as being the cause of the state of the country , through neglect of their duties . The landlords were warmly defended by the Earl of Roden and LordFarnham .
When clause 16 was read , making it a misdemeanour , punishable with transportation for any person in a proclaimed district to be found out of nis abode between one hour after sunset and lunrise , Lord Grey inveighed at length against ttte unnecessary severity of the penalty , and moved as an amendment one year ' s imprisonment with or without hard labour . . ' ' ¦ This amendment brought on a long debate , in which Lord Campbell , Lord ( Tottenham , and Lord Langdaie sided with . Lord Grey in considering the penalty ; as qnits out of proportion to the " venial offence" of being " out after dark ; while Lord Brougham , the Marquis of Clanricarde , and Lord Monteagle defended the severity of the measure as an extraordinary remedy for an extraordinary evil . Their lordships at last divided on the amendment , when the numbers
were—Content .-., 7 Non-content ... 3 S Majority . » ... ... ... <—31

' The wmaming clauses were , tiien .: a | e | ajg it was determined by an amendment moved by ^ the Marquis of Lassdowse , that the . bill should be in force for three years from October next . , Their lordships then adjourned . ' . HOUSE OF COMMONS— Friday , March G . ' After the reading of several railway bilMke presentation of petitions , and-other , routine business the house resolved into committee on the Cora ana Customs Act , on which it was engaged nearly the whole of the night . - . ¦ Mr . W . 0 . Stanley proposed , as an amendment to Sir R . PeePsplan , that "in lieu of the duties now parable on the importation of corn , grain , meal , or flour , the product of foreign countries , there shall be paid a fixed duty of 5 s . per quarter upon wheat ; 2 s . 6 d . en barley ; and 2 s . on oats ; meal and flour in proportion . "
A discussion ensued , in which Colonel Wood , W . S . O'Brien , Lord G . Bentinck , Lord J . Russell . Lord Worsley , Sir J . Tyrell , andother members took part , and the amendment was negatived . . . Mr . M . Milsbb then moved the omission of all words in the resolution respecting the importation of corn , referring to the cessation or alteration of duties to be paid in the year 1849 . When one party , elated by victory , was calling out "Nocompromise , " and another party , undeterred by defeat , was calling o « t "No surrender , " he did not expect to obtain much support to his amendment ; but he was so convinced that , by giving up all duties on foreign corn , we were placing in the hands of foreigners a large amount of revenue which we had hitherto enjoyed , that he could net refrain from putting his opinions on this subject on record . The amendment produced another discussion , and
brought up among other speakers , t > ir R . Psel , who , in the course of his remarks let tall an important suggestion . He said the law , at present , gave every facility to both tenant and lord to make a voluntary enfranchisement of copyhold estates ; but it would r equire the utmost deliberation to draw up a plan for making the enfranchisemeti ! . compulsory . There was a committee in the House of Lords now inquiring into the burdens of agriculture , and it would be a great advantage if the committee would consider this point , and also the great expense which now attended every purchase and transfer of small portions of land . Mr . Miles ultimately withdrew his amendment : Mr . P . Howard made a long speech in favour of an amendment which he had placed on the notice-book , and which proposed the extension of the period : of protection upon corn until the 1 st day of February , 1831 , but at the conclusion of it refused to press it on the consideration of the committee . :
The other resolutions , after a great deal of talk , were successively agreed to . The Chairman reported progress , and the house resumed . Report to be received on Monday next . The house then adjourned . ?

Horrible Case or Child Murder . —An inquest was held at the Bowling Green Inn , in the Marketplace , Ashton , on Tuesday evening , upon the body of a child , found floating on the water in the Ashten Canal , on Sunday morning last . Mr . F . Cooke , surgeon , stated that on making an examination of the body , he found that the frontal bone was fractured , apparently by a blow . A portion of theiron&tl bone was driven into the brain . He found a wound under the right arm , which penetrated the chest to the spine . There was also a fracture of the arm , between theshoulderand the elbow . There was a wound in the right gr 6 in , four inches in length , extending
to the abdomen , through which the bowels protruded . The weund under the right arm had divided the vertebrae , and cut into the heart . He took out the heart and lungs , which he then produced . On putting them into water he found they floated . The wounds appeared to have been made by some sharp instrument . He had no doubt whatever that the child was born alive , and was of opinion that the wound on the front of the head had been made before death , and was the cause of death . The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Eome person at present unknown . " The police are sparing no pains to find out the unnatural mother .

^ THE ; POUSH INSURRECTION . fContinutd from our fifth page . ] of day require fbrtign conquests in order to strengthen herself within ? . The consciousness of your national existence and the situation it holds point but something else to you . : Prussia holds a separate and secured station amongst the Powers of Europe , she holds an impregnable and powerful position in Germany , and its political , aggrandisement now depunde only on tho spontaneous development of her strength and her own internal meana . This position she conquered in her struggle for the independence in Germany .
It requires , above all , not the continuation of a selfish policy of dynasty and family , guch as may suit Vienna , hut the representation and the support of nationality , and of the German national unity . How contrary to nature , then , is the alliance between the Prussian statethat lever of national German progress in wisdom and policy—and Russia , whose principle is the suppression of all iutellectualand moral improvement ; which , wherever its iron sceptre rules , oppresses national rights as well as those of family and conscience , and reduces man to the level of au inert machine ! No , never will the sentiment of your national honour , never will the spirit of frankness so peculiarly German which animates you , consent to an alliance which , transforming you into voluntary instruments of Russian tyranny , will stamp with the seal of
falsehood 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 you occupy am « ng the different nations of Germany as well as among the peoplo of Europe . And itvjs with this confidence that we at present tender you the hand for a more noble fraternisation , which will afford you an opportunity of proving that really and seriousl y you are what you wish to appear in the eyes of Europe . Be assured , in the first place , that we are firmly persuaded 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
on your part ; not a cold and egotistical neutrality , but a sympathetic jand fraternal benevolence for our people when they shall again rise to recover their rights by enfgaging in a war to the knife . We make this appeal toyou , or we are well aware that 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 la « t century has , through the medium of jour governors , entailed upon Prussia . You are proud of the omnipotence of public opinion , which has been preserved among 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 interests . Would you but listen to us !
let one more word upon the future . Whatever may be the result ufour struggle , your hostility to us can never bring upon you . anything but misfortune and maledictiov . 8 . If we succumb , you will be the first to suffer from the conquering Muscovite . To him the most sacred conventions arc not binding . To him the right of nations is an empty name , and you may rest assured that upon tho smoking rums of Poland he will bring his hordes to assault your own independence . Hovr would it be if you should then say to yourselves , "We are justly served for our conduct to Poland V How would it bi 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 , the divinities , honour / national independence .
and civil and religious liberty , outraged by your hostility to Poland t We confide in God , and in our own strength , to gain the victory , whilst you remain our enemies , Oh ! then if we even could and would forget your injustice towards us , we should find our revenge in tbe contempt of the people of Europe . The ground upon which jour power and prosperity rest will crumble under the vanquished allies of the Asiatic tyrants—for Prussia can never remain great and powerful but so long as she shall possess the confidence and esteem of the generality of the 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 your 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 yourtelves , as a victory of national liberty over the arbitrary oppression of tyranny , as the re-establishment of the protectiag rampart of 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 that of Europe .
Drawn up in the land of exile , this 29 th of November , 1845 . 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 clergyman—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 the 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 horaes ,. ai ) d the others provided with all sorts of arms ; and , before those volunteers repaired to the seat of government , clergymen attired in their vestments , blessed the arms , the men , and the banners , amidst deafening shouts of 'Poland for ever ! 'That adored country , ' writes the clergyman , ' so long defunct , appeared to me rising from the grave . I fancied 1 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 .
Oh , emigrants , regretted friends—you , the sons of her blood , how I pity you not to have assisted at that glorious resurrection ! ' The capture of Cracow was executed with extraordinary skill . Two false 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 addressed an 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 the 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 amounted to at least 12 , 000 . At eight o ' clock the provisional government issued a manifesto . " The Reform
says—The accounts to-day received relative to the insurrection in Poland are of th « most serious character . Should the neivs of tbe taking of Lemberg by tbe insurgents be confirmed , it must prove a success of the most brilliant fcuture , and one likely to prove of the greatest utility t « them . It was before that place that tho confederates ofBar failed so sign-ally in their attempts . It is snid that the Jews have espoused the cause of the revolutionists . Such adhesion will prove of the last importance . The Jews possess great financial power , and , moreover , keep up a regular and constant correspondence with other nations . Letters have been received at Paris , by a rich bauking-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 Russian province ' s . It has extended to Courlande and Livonia . Entire regiments have passed over to the side of the insurgents . ' ., "On thtf Austrian frontier some Hungarian and Italian regiments have likewise joined the insurgents . " Paris , Sukdat . 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 . U p to the present moment , however , these reports are void of foundation . The insurrection is confined to the Polish provinces ; and Lemberg , the capital of Galiieia , 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 Galiieia . The Count of Brandenburg has been recalled , and one of the papers announces his return to Breslau . He is replaced by Lieutenant-General Rohr . The Drovisional government , puzzled by . the
conduct of the Prussian army , who remained passive , had opened negotiations with Count Brandenburg . The provisional government declared loudly that they desiresd peace with Prussia , and that they would leave Cracow to their care , should they be called elsewhere to seek sufety from the combined armicB of Austria and Russia . But , according to a letter received to-day , it seems that this negotiation has met with serious obstacles from the interior of the republic , and the provisional government has beeii blamed for letting themselvns be deluded by hopes which nothing justifies .
Nevertheless , terrible symptoms , not of insurrection , but of regular pillaging . ' haye manifested themselves in the German province of Silesia . According to the same letter , and th

distant ten leagues from Cracow , on the high road to Berlin ; and on the line of communication of General Rohr , ' has been reduced ; to . ashes by some persons unknown , who set fire to the four quarters of the
town . - . " .. . ; : The greatest'order reigns at Cracow . All the valuables of the Cathedral have been taken for the public good , with the exception of the ornaments belonging to the tombs of Sobieski , Kosciusko , aud of 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 Galiieia is open to them they have great resources .
Galiieia extends over a surface of about eighty square leagues along the banks of the Vistula , and has a population of 122 , 000 souls . According to the Cologne Gazette , Louis Garskovrtki , one of the members of the government , was formerly librarian to the Museum of Natural History at Cracow ; John Lisowski , of 'fyssowski ,. is a physician ; the third is a simple citizen of Cracow , named GrzegonewBlti . They are all young men of energy and courage . ¦ ..... The Radical 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 of the French people in favour of its success .
MOVEMENTS OF THE POLISH REFUGEES . The Journal des Debate of Sunday states that—On Saturday morning , in 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 , th « principal members of a political association , styled the Monarchical Society of tho 3 rd of May , having at th « irhead their president , Colonel Breanski , presented an address to Prince Czartoryski , in the name of more than one thousand members , all Polish emigrants , of which this association is composed . The sentiments expressed by that important fraction of the Polish emigration were 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 , in order that the emigrants , by their representatives , may efficaciously join in the heroic eontest which is recommencing 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 which the society of the 3 rd Ma ; has propagated during several years , the prbusional surrender of their doctrines and of their theories ' , in order to units 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 heroic rising which has taken place on several points of Poland . He
declared that he was determined to aid it by all means in his power . . Those means would , n « doubt , be increased by the assistante of the exiles . Then , without waiting longer , they , might furnish considerable support to the country . They would obtain fer Poland allies , a loan , and the universal support of public opinion . In expressing his gratitude to the Society of the 3 d May , the Prince explicitly declared , that from the period of the foundation of tbe socitty to the present moment , whilst he rendered full justice to the spirit of order , of dicipline , and of devotion of its members , he had . ever regretted that that society , whose tendoncy to a national insurrection aud monarchical doctrines he approved , had thought fit 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 the purest disinterestedness in the service of his country . In abandoning its theories to unite all hearts in a common and concerted action , the Society of the 3 d of May removed the sole harrier which separated it from him . He accepted it with joy , he said , and the example of the sacrifice which 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 servo the cause , to speak to foreign nations in the name of Polaud , but he would be ready , every day , to give the first example of obedience to the manifestations of the national will .
GERMAN SYMPATHY . Letters from CoWentz 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 s » me soldiers at a public-house . The" mob" attempted a rescue , and threw stones at the patrol , at the same time shouting— " Long live the Poles ; " but tranquillity was immediately restored on the appearance of the governor witli two companies of the line . Paris , Monday .
The 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 ' armee at the service of the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria , but that it is not probable that the offer 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 of the defeat of the insurgents at Podgorze : — Podqobze , Feb . 27 . I yesterday afternoon left Wadowizc with five companies of the 2 nd battalion of Schtneling infantry , the 3 rd battalion of Prince Werther's regimvnt , the militia corps , a scmadwrn of light cavalry , and a half battery . Having passed the night at Isbebuik , I continued my march , and arrived before Podgorze at six a . h .
The insurgents had take » possession of the first floors of the houses in the principal streets , and of the Treasury , from which they fired upon my troops . After a short resistance , they took to flight , and passed the bridge of Craeow . During that operation they lost a great many men . A short time afterwards I was attacked in the rear b y a battalion which had arrived at Welieczka from Cracow . My troops met the attack of the assailants with great braveryk A great number of the rebels were killed , and 89 made prisoners . Th « 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 transpiring in that town . Several more arrests have been made at Fosen , but the whole of Prussian Poland is said to be " tranquil . " The National publishes the following appeal of M . J . Ricciardi , to the Italian refugees : —
Permit me , through your medium , to address an appeal to my fellow countrymen , thrown on the 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 tnke an active part in the sublime effort now making by the Polish nation . Being certain of an . ticipatlng aud expressing the sentiments of ray brethren , I did not hesitate to Jake the initiative , and I have every confidence that my appeal will be heard . Messrs . de Rochau and Venedcz , two German refugees , had inserted the following letter in the Rcforme : —
The part which Prussia and Austria have acted in the partition of Poland is a sanguinary stigma on the honour of the German nation , which it can only efface by assisting Poland with all its influence and might in reconquering her liberty aud nationality . It is not only a most sacred duty , but the deamt 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 moBt active sympathies in the work of resurrection , on which she has again entered with so much devotion and edit . In depositing our offering in favour of Poland , we express a'hope that public conscience may at last compel the ! Governments to render justice to so noble and heroic a people , wliOBe misfortune and bondage will be as long as they endure an indelible disgrace for tbe German nation . Paris , March 8 , 1846 , . . We also extract the following letter from the Reform ;—
70 THE FOL 13 K VOLUNTEERS . Paris , March 7 , Time presseB , our brethren are shedding their blood far our dear country ! Every minute lost will be thereafter imputed to us as a crime . Let us prove to the world that Polish blood still flows in our veins , and that sufferings of every description have not cooled the warm patriotism which burns in our bosoms , and which 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 !

Some of our Gallic contemporaries are extremely an / ibus to know what part the French government ought to take with regard to the insurrection in Poland , ine Courrier Francais , for instance , speculates on the meeting of the OoDosition Deputies in
one of the Bureaux of the Chamber , announced for luesday , and at which M . Dupont ( de l'Eure ) is to preside . The Couvrkr 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 SCecle has an article much in the same spirit ' as those of the Courrier Francais and the National , but the ConstitiUionnel directs its attention chiefl y to Russia . In the course of some observations on tlie rising of a portion of the Polish provinces , the Constitutionnd aaya : —i" Russia has

Russian despotism—that combination of all the cruelty of the East , with the calculations and refinements of civilisation—has long been pronounced upon .

declare to Prince Metternich that the cabinet of the luilJenes , wishing to remain foreign to the execution ot the treaties ot Vienna , would neither interfere directly or indirectly in the efforts of the northern courts to put down the Polish revolution . But that , on the other hand , France was too much interested in maintaining peace and tranquillity in Europe to oppose the measures which 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 .

German Sihpatht . —The Hamburg Correspondent , one of tlie most popular journals of Germany , says upon the subject of the insurrection : —
"It is not merely the voice of justice and of humanity which protests in favour of Poland , it is the national interests of Germany , it is an interest of security for the whole of Europe . " "This , " adds the Siede , "is now the univemlbpinion atthe other side of the Rhine ; someday it will bear its fruit . But in order that a prompt and vigorous resolution should spare new proofs to humanity and new aisfortunes to a nation which 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 of the revolution of July . "
_ . u . v ; Pari s , 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 Lv . de de Lammermoor cries were uttered of "Vive la Pologne ! " "La Cracovienne ! " "La Marseillaise ! " The orchestra having commenced the second act , matters went on quietly till tbe 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 ei ghty deputies assembled at the Chamber of Deputies , under the presidency of M . Dupont ( de l'Eure ) , and passed resolutions and entered into subscriptions in favour of the patriots . At nearly ; all the newspaper offices subscription s 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 .

THE POLES IN LONDON . ( From the Morning Advertiser Monday . —In consequence of exciting information , received through . private channels , a numerous meeting 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 . The 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 aature , and the exiles present were in the highest spirits , expressing universally the most lively hopes .
TuKSDAy . —Several meetings of the Poles took place yesterday , of which little has transpired except that an unbroken unanimity prevails . The Poles in this country are 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 the news which the west of Europe receives , through the mostsuspicious sources , is capable of an encouraging construction . They entertain no doubt—( arid who can?)—that the best is kept back and the worst made the most
of . 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 Inquisitaire , near Saint Paul ' s , might withhold cheerinc information until it would be useless to any but the enemy . Through less doubtful means , reports fully believed are received that General Szembek has taken thecommand of the National Army in Galiieia , and that some of the most important persons arrested at Posen have made their escape—among them Miecalawski .
ozembek was not concerned in the first movement at Cracow , but at the first announcement of the outbreak he was conjectured by 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 , the 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 be said , of eagerness , to loarn the exact state of affairs in Poland , the official document from the Austrian officer at Tarnow , published in the London papers of veaterdav
tending greatly to confirm their conviction that all the adverse statements are false or exaggerated , and that the revolution is . advancing favourably The Austrians , it will have been observed , in boastin " that the peasants murdered or betrayed the revolut tionary nobles at Tarnow , admit that those same peasants are partisans of the revolution . The manner in which the continental journals , as quoted in the Times ot yesterday , mention Chlopicki , is also believed to afford grounds , of hope . They sav that Chlopicki has taken the command of the Gallician troops , and that he commanded at the battle of Grochow . The . latter statement is supposed to indicate that the agents of the powersdread , to mention the name of the redoubted SkrzvneckL 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 Grochow . . ,. The fact is too . well known to history , thathe bad , in a pet , resigned the Dictatorship some time before , and that he serred under Skrzynecki as a volunteer . It maybe as well to state here what many may have forgotten for a time but which history will aever forget . When Diebitseh was approaching Warsaw , fully reBolved to carry out the command of his master , and crush the revolution at a Blow , Skrzynecki advanced from Warsaw to give him battle , and took up his position at Grochow , about seven miles from the city , making the little wood of alder trees a point dou > u , which ultimately proved of ErGatimoortanfie .
wis torces , inciuamg the . students and other raw recruits , amounted to 45 , 000 men and 20 pieces of SSTonJ with ™ - ? bUsch amounted " o 130 0 U 0 men , with 100 pieces of cannon . With such odds against him , Skrzynecki held his ground fam five o clock in the morning of the 25 th of February 1831 , until noon , when the wood having been nearlv scattered in the air by the enemy's artK , he aeJt ^¦• fMSK ^ ftgsw&Sfc sxw-s ^ srii *« Iiold it with your teeth !
