Sympathy for Poland—Bavitement of the Students and Go- ternment Arrests—Russia and the Revolutioniste—Feeling Against the Mexican War—England Accused of Per- Sidy—Disiress of the Working Classes, dc., dc. ‘The insurrection of Poland is beginning to influence the Political mind of the more ardent spirits in this metropo- Nis. Yesterday continual arrests were made by the police fa consequence of several hundred young men from the Various collegiate institutions having collected en masse before the house of Prince Czartoryski, who, although the constant apostle of patience to the Polish refugees, has in ‘the present instance go far departed from his usual rote ag to write a letter to the various French journals of the Capital declaring that no surprise ought to be felt at the insurrection of Poland, as it is but the inevitable conse- quence of the series of excesses which has been crowned by the late arbitrary recruitment ordered by Russia. Tho Prince demands respect for the dignity with which the Poles know how to bear their sufferings, being convinced that some day or other the Powers of Europe will, im their own interest, do something in favor of the Poles, Above all the Prince protests against the manucr in which some persons seem disposed to invest the parts which Poland and Russia are enacting, Poland being represented as criminal, while Russia is made to stand forth generous, indulgent and magnanimous. ‘The words used by M. Baroche in the debate on the ad- érees in the French Chambers, which were meant to throw a wet blanket on Polish well wikhers, have had a contrary effect—the more especially as soon after letters have been received showing that the existing revolt is ome of the most general of any of the numerous in- surrections that have occurred. In Galicia it has already assumed.a very formidable eharacter ; and, though ‘the Russians really occupy the more important towns and fortresses, from some cause or other they do not appear 10 follow the rebels into the open country. Tho roads are eertainly in an awful state—perhaps scarcely passable— and thie reason is alleged for their apparent supineness ; but it is said that the whole country is so invested with bands of insurgents, who, in gueril'a fashton, can operate 80 effectually on the regular forces sent against thom, ‘hat the Russian commanders are absolutely afraid to let alip their legions. The Russian force threughout the whole kingdom ‘mounts to about 120,000 men, and, as large garrisons must necessarily be left in the towns, this force is mani- featly ineufficient. Whenever an attempt has been made to scour the country, bands of fugitive conscripts and insurgents have incessantly harassed the Russians, and, ‘though dispersed for the moment, it is only to appear again om another point. The originators of the move- ment at first only aimed at taking possession of the woods, im the hope of escaping the conscription, aud were with- out arma, ammunition or leaders; but, being pursued and @tacked, and defending themselves as well as the cir- @ametances would permit, others, on hearing of a collision Between their countrymen and the hated Russians, fled to their aid, till at last the whole nation appears to have moved as one man to the national cause. ‘This is, in fact, @ goueral rising. In Meravia and in the government of Kalisch the Russian authority still prevatis; but the gov- qroments of Lubin, Augustown and Sardonier are for fhe most part in the hands of the insurrec- ‘thonary forces. Warsaw is almost abandoned by young men gone to join the insurrectionary bands. The popu- Jation of Poland comprises about four millions, all of whom, except ® most insignificant minority, are Roman or Greek Catholics; and this acoounts for the fact that the Roman Catholic clergy are at the head of the mevement. ‘The Central Revolutionary Committee has put forth the proclamation that ‘from this moment the land which the agricultural population possessed on condition of paying rent is unconditionally the property of the peasants. That the landholders shall be indemnified by lands from the State,” &c. All this babbub in a country always #0 interesting to France as Poland cannot but have its effect upon the na- ‘tional heart. At the same time thore is certainly no dis- position to get into trouble with Russia for the sake of it. Ever since the Crimean war the bonds of union betwixt France and Russia have cy been drawing closer and closer; but at the same time if the Poles should be ena. bled ior any length of time to hold their own there is no knowing what tura events might take in France At present tho popular mind is a good deal irritated about the expedition to Mexico. The ether day reports were everywhere dissemiuated in conformity with the despatch from New York, dated the 16th, that the Mexi aus at Puebla bad put fourteen thousand French to rout, and killed two thousand of them; but just asa warlike panic was getting up a letter from Vera Cruz, of @ subse quent date, arrived, stating that no engagement had taken place. Still ~ are not at all satisiled about the Mexican policy. ‘the bm peror, it is said, being unable to accompliah any ambitious objects in Europe, is going to exeeate Mr. Canning’s boast, and ‘call in the aid of the New World to redress the balance of the Old." Mexico is to be the kingly jewel of the imperial diadem of France. ‘The Prince ial is to bo king of Mexico; and, seoing that the troubles of the United States offer 80 fair an op- portunity for all sorts of encroachmenta, France wil! take the ads of recovering certain possessions in the New World which of old were appendages of the French crown. In the meantime one hears of nothing but the jealousy and narrow tindedoess of pertidious Albion in nut seconding the desire of Frauce to totervene betwixt the Sor the South. England, it is said, was ever like th see the world divided that she may ride in security whole poliey of her existence; and that she may check imperial France in every generous aspiration is her highest ambition. A time must come when au impatient countey will eo longer bear it. France is #treng euough now w do without Eugland, and the sooner old scores are paid off the better. repeat that this is not the language of cabarets or the / aiflage of old gossips over their dominoes: but any one Munianto with parties constantly associated with the fos. tivities of the court will find that such is the tone of mind of such persons. Now, as & matter of opinion, I am self strongly inclined to believe that the Freueh gover ment je just as convinced of the utter inutility and impolicy of interfering with American aflairs as Fngland Te, “Wrance would have liked to draw her “powerful ally”? into some such iabyrinth, no doubt, and afterwards leave ber to get out as sbe could; but as this cannot be done there is nothing left but to abuse her ag & fomenter of discord and sedition all over the world. 1 hope it may not be proved that, with all these fine plirases, France, with regard to America, bas nothing in view but her own self aggrandizement. French ‘‘ideaa’* havea wonderful tendency to finiah thos, no matter in what corner of the globe they take root. Reason and common senee alike point out that the troubles of America can only be solved in one way—by force of arme—and the history of the world proves that afew ‘greliminary failures are bo lest whataver of the subse. ent result in matters military. auip has been tried and Found weterly down this foul rebellion, then a cry be not altogether irrational. In the meanwhile, the effect of the state of America Paris and France generally is most apparent. There is & general cry of distress pervading all the departments. ‘ivate subscriptions are as a drop in the ocean, and it does not seem clear that the government subsidy will at all meet the calamity. In Paris trade is completely para- lyzed. Although the court is exerting itself with unpre- cedented vigor to stimulate it by encouraging every species of lavish expenditure, failures, in the or bankruptcics, are everywhere taking place. Rent, which has hit touched the ekies with its lofty kead under the advent of the second empire, is at last obliged to bow before the storm, and apartments may be seen ‘‘to lev” in all directions.

The Emperor must feel considerably relieved. Yoster day, after a little more than a week’s discussioa, in which his Hajesty’s policy im Mexican, Italian and electoral mat. ters was ably and severely attacked by the five opposi- tion members of the Corps Legislatif, the address was adopted unanimously, with the exception ofthese samo five opposition members, headed by Jules Favre. All tho amendments offered by them were voted down, and the Emperor has the satisfactioo—if it be one—of hearing his own words echoed in the legislative reply. This is the last session of the present Assembly, and strenuous efforts will be made at the approaching elections to pre- vent the return of the five refractories. In spite of all the open and concealed attempts of the government, it is highly probable that at the next session at least three of them—Jules Fagre, Olivier and Picard—will appear in their old places, ready vo do battle for what they consider the claims of the people against imperial encroachments, The festive season at the Tuileries closed on Monday evening last with a grand bal costume, the first which has | been given there im several years. Bat about six hun- dred invitations were jasued; so there was no crowd, and from one who was present I learn'that the alfnir’ was | a splendid ove. The company was unusually select, em- | bracing the highest personages in Paris. Several American ladies and gentlemen were present. Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Anna Dayton, the former wearing a Buetelino mantie—Mrs. Dayton in powder and Miss Dayton as a cherry girl. Mr. and Mrs. Moulton, ef Massachusetts. Miss King, of Georgia, as Undine. Mr and ‘#. and Miss Penniman, of New York—Mr. Penniman with a Venitian mantle. Miss Penniman as Ophelia, and Mre.

On Saturday there was one atahe | Minister of Foreign Affirs’; on Thursday at the Princesa | Metternich’s; to morrow evening one is to be given at | the Count Walewski's, and on Monday evening at the | Duke de Morny’s. On Tnesday the carnival cioses with the annual stupidity of the procession of the Baufs Gras, and on Wednesday all Paris, which for the last six weeks bas boen rollicking in all the gayeties of this festive sen. | son, puts on, metaphorically speaking, the sackcloth and ashes of Lent. ‘There was a little disturbance over in the Latin quar- | ter yesterday among the Jeunesse des Ecoles. About | tweive hundred students, who had been to the lecture of | | Saint Marc Girardin, upon quitting it started towards the house of I’rince Czartoryski, shouting at the tops of their voices,‘ Vive ta Pologne!”” A number of arrests were made, and the crowd dispersed without any serious oc- currences. Considerable anxiety is manifested here at the non-ar- rival of the China, which should have been in a week ago with dates to the 28th of January. Although we have ad- | Vices up to the 31st, and althongh the last French propo- sition ig supposed tobave left on the 10th, nothing bas yet been made known as to the reception which it mot, although there is arumor current to-day that the French government bave received advices that it would be accepted.

In short, it is farfrom improbable that the dis- turbances in Poland will revive the toutual assurance company of the three Northern Powers which was broker up by the Oriental war; but it remains to be seen wiic- ther their united efforts will be abie to stem the ad vaucing tide. It has long been the opinion of intelligent observers that the next great revolution would have ite or in Europe, and the east of so far events bave certainly justified their pre. diction. We kaow that the emancipation of the Ruseian serfs has completely disorganized the social system of that empire; we are assured that the agitation prevailing among the ple has even infected the soldiery, and the speech of the Czar to his officers shows that he does not rely implicitly on the fidelity of bis body guard. If the Polish insurrection should toasimilar outbreak in Russia, the whole immense ter- ritory inhabited by the Sclavonic race would svon be in flames, and a convulsion would be felt throughout Europe that would shake every throne to its foundations.

The Parie journals of the 14th of February announce the war, as would have been the case if she had agreed to his original suggestion of a six months armistice. A congress for arranging terms of | peace has often sat for years before hostilities were terminated; that at Munster, in Westphalia, for instance, which put an end to the Thirty Years War, lasted from — 1644 to 1648, and its preliminaries bad been discussed as If, during the agitations, one of the parties attains decided advantages in his military opera tions, the terms of the arrangement may be altered up to the last moment, as happened at that very congress of Munster, when the capture of Prague by the Swedes over- | came the resistance of the Austrian plenipotentiaries to the | demands of their adversaries; and in our own times, at | Chatillon, when the transitory advantages gained | by Napoleon over Blucher induced him, unforta. | vately for timeelf, to reject the ultimatum offered him by the Allies and already agreed wo | by bis ambassador, Caulaincourt. A case still more in point are the negotiations between Spain and ber revolted | qubjects in the Netherlands, which were carried on (or | something like balf « century, and wore often interrupted by long armistices before the final conclusion of peace, I | presume the next arrivals from New York will ivform us | whether these historicai precedonts have had any effect on the minas of American statesmen, or whether they have met the obliging offers of the Freach autocrat with | @ polite refusal. After some hesitation the King bas made up his mind to reply to the address of the House of Deputies. The feudal party were at great pains to prevent him from doing se, and wished him to ‘treat it with contempt;”’ but this time, at least, their efforts have not been attended with their usual success. It cannot be said, however, that his Majesty's amswer has contributed anything towards the solution of the queetion of coustitutional rights now pend- tng between himself and the representatives of his people. It a rather ngeiy. document, and written ina more moderate and conciliatory tone than was expected; but after all he does not abate one jot of his pretensions, as sorts “it by no means depends exclusively on the depu- Lies to grant or refuee taxes,” intimates ‘his: determina. tion to maintain the hereditary prerogative of the crown unchallenged and uncurtaiied and calis upon the House to acknow lodge his paternal intentions, aud by meeting the wishes so often expressed by him to put aa end to a con flict most painful to his heart, whose only desire is to pro mote the welfareof the Prussian nation and maintain that position assigned to the country by its glorious history and by the faithful co-operation of King and people. All this sounds very flue, but does not advance mutters & single step, as it can only Mean that the House tm to atal lity itself By reversing '& resolution passed almost unant- mot nd to surrender at discretion to a government whose acta jt bas repeatedly deelared to be a manifest violation of the constitution.

A correspondent of the Wheeling Intelligencer, dated Winchester, 26th ult., gives the following particulars of the fate disgraceful affair between a portion of our troops and the enemy on the 26th:— A rebel cavalry scout, eighty strong, came inside our pickets on the Strasburg road. After a skirmish with in- fantry pickets, in which two were wounded on each side, they retired, capturing a cavalry picket of twelve men. Five hundred of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania and New York cavalry, sent m pursuit, recaptured, beyond Stras- burg, most of the prisoners and horses, and also took a number of priseners. The commander of our detachment transcended hie orders, and pursued beyond Woodstock. After driving inthe rebel pickets he stood parleying in the road, without guarding against surprise.

THE OPE Important Despatch from General Grant-The Military Authorities Confi- dent that His Plans will Result in the Capture of Vicksburg and the Rebel Army There, &c. Wasuivoron, March 1, 1863. A despatch has been received from General Grant which has given much encouragement to the President and Secretary of War. Thoy express the utmost conf. dence of favorable results at Vicksburg, It seems that General Grant asks only four or five days of good weather to complete entirely all his arrangements, which are such that the military authorities here are convinced they will result, not merely in the capture of Vicksburg, but also of the rebel army concentrated at that point.

Capture of Rebels and Stores—The Mortar Boats—They Relain Their Position—The Lake Providence Route and Its Success, de, Late despatches have just been received at headquar- ters here containing the following important intelli- gence: — About sixty officers and men of the Third Michigan cavalry recently surprised the rebel troops in the town of Clifton, on the Tennessee river, taking the rebel Colonel Newsom prisoner, with sixty-one officers and men. Captain C. Newe, of the Third Michigan cavalry, was wounded in the leg. Among those injured on the rebel side were Colonel Newsom, right arm shattered; Lieut. Shelby, shot in the shoulder. We captured forty good horses, eaddles, arms, &c. ; also a large quantity ef commissary etores and the fer ries, The town was burned. It is reported that Van Dorn is at Columbia, Tennessee. When our men had recrossed the river, and when about leaving, a flect of five gunboats came up. The prisoners were turned over to Lieutenant Fitch, Flag Officer aboard, Several boats have arrived from below since Saturday, Their information shows that no visible progress has beea made in the operations. Uur last imtelligence was to the effect that a mortar boat bad taken a position above the peint this side of Vicksburg, and had fired a few sholl, which had drawn down a severe fire from three batteries. Contrary to expectation, the mortar boat has retained its position, and ogcasionally throws a shell, When she does bo aR answering tire comes prompt and abarp. Whene any boat approaches the poiut a quick reminder comes from shot and shell, admonishing the intruder that he has approached forbidden limits. ‘Thus far none of these irre- guiar shote have done ivjury.

But little was done in the joint session of the Assembly Committees on Ways and Means and Salt, ‘Fhe morning further investigation on the question was postponed untib Tuesday next, at three P.M. This i # question that now demands the atteotion of the Legislature. Prior wo 1860 the policy of the State, as shown by the laws on the statute books, encouraged free and full competition in the manufacture of salt, the object being to prevent monopoly, thus emabling the people to obtain their salt for the lowest possible suns. ‘The State owned the lands, dug the wells, distributed the brine, and only charged the manufacturers one cent per bushel. The State bas its inspector to inepect and obtain the correct amount of salt manufactured, and he uses up the one cent tax, leaving the State without any revenue whatever from iv salt works, Tois would be all well enough bad the original policy of the State been adhered to, But it so happens that by a combination between the local interests—between Oswego and Syracuse—they have succeeded in completely changing the polley of the State. It makes no difference whether democrats or republicand represent those sections, It is all the game, they stand shoulder to shoulder in faver of a monopoly in alt, and also for the local interest of Oswego, In 1858 this comb) nation saw that the State bad so enlarged the facilities for manufacturing salt that it gave opportunity for large competition that it kept sult down to a very low price, thus benefiting the peoply as well as increasing the ~ revenue to the State, The leaders at Syracuse irameds ately set themselves at work devising some mode to stop this, The result was that they presented themsel von bo the Legislature of 1869 with amendments to the walt laws, and through the combination existing between the Oswego and Syracuse interests succeeded im logrolling thels amondments through by attaching them to other jobs, and in completely reversing tho former policy of the State and placing the whole thing in the hands of @ monopoly. Ry virtue of tho ingenious wording of these amend. ments full control of the erections made by the State was placed inthe hands of the QOuendaga Salt Com pany, thus enabling them to preveut the mavulaeture by any outside parties, and even topping some of the works,” thas cutting off all competition and creating @ perfect monopoly to enrich themesives at the expense of the State, It i# sald that this monopoly aud all engaced with it have made a fortune the past year. The poopie have found that they are compelled tw pay about eighty per cont profit on the sult (bat they use, while the revenue to the state is reduced by virtue of reduction ia the amount manufactured, Hence thelr appeal te legislation for a correction of this evil, The mouopoly is maintaining @ large lobby here, including many promi- nent and influential poiiticiaus, to prevent thg demand of the people beiug granted, Their cry ix the name thag wax used by t hb whea t# to be let ajone ’ Should U to let them alon restore to the pevple their rights, we may hi ¢ rebeiliou on ovr bends, and the jature bis. is country will be compelled to add thin sale Febellion of the Atuve af New York to the whiskey insur recon and buckshot war of l'onnaylvania, tie Do Tebeilion of Rhode stand, the Shays insurrection of Mam chuseits, the Boath Casolina nullification, the hanwae Party war aud the Southern rebellion of the prevent time, eh excitermentover the Speaker tak wg the mmmitted of the WI p tho applaune Wes.
