ATTITUDE OF THE PEASANTRY. PROSPECT OF AN ARMED INTERVRNTION. Our Berlin Correspondence. Braum , Mareb 11, 1868. An episode of the Polish insurrection has just occurred ‘which shows at once the sympathy of tho Prussian Poles for their countrymen and the uacleasness of the measures’ taken by government to repress it. In spite of the lynx- eyed Prussian police, Mieroslowski bas crossed and re- crossed the frontier with impunity, and, inspite of General ‘Von Weeder and bis four corps @armee, bands of enthusi astic youths from Posen and West Prussia are constantly flocking to the camp of the insurgents to fight and die for the national cause, It appears that Mieroslowski, undismayed vy the check suffered by him at Radzi genen, had laid his plang for an attack upon Konin,a small town situated on the river Wartha, the possession of which would have interrupted the commu- nication between Warsaw and Kalish and facilitated further operations against the latter city. His own corps was too weak for such an attempt; but he had been pro. mised reinforcements from Prussian Poland, and aboat the 2d of this month a detachment of eight hundred to one thousand men, well armod and equipped, actually passed the frontier near Wreschen, under the command of Garezyneki, a young Polish nobleman of rank, who had formerly hold a commission in the Prussian army. They were immediavly joined by part of Mieroslowski’s troops under Count Mieleuski, who was to co-operate with them in the coup while Mieronlowaki, with the balance of bis corps, dis- ‘tracted the attention of the Russians by a feigned attack upon Kalish. Unluckily, @ dispute arose between the two leaders, each claiming the command of tho expeds. tion, and while from high words they were just proceeding to blows and their army emulated the confusion of King Agramont’s camp, they wero set upon unexpectedly by the garrison of Konin, who had been informed by spies of their approach, and had marched ont in the night to meet them. A severe though brief struggle ensued, which ended in the total rout of the Poles, who burried pell-mell towards the Prussian frontier, closely pur- sued by the Muscovites. The latter, however, halted on the borders of their own territory, and as the Prussian troops stationed in the vicinity were not strong enough to arrest the passage of such a mass of fugitives—they are said to have number- ed at least two thousand—most of them were enabled to escape, and have either returned to their homes or sought sheltor in the neighboring forest of Powidz. A Prouseian detachment which attempted to stop some of them was fired upon, and its commander , Captain Niteche, badly wounded in the shoulder. In one or two other points small partics of fugitives were diseovered by the Prus- sian patrols. It was stated at first that three hundred Peles had been captured; but later events reduce the num- ber of prisoners to one hundred and sixty or one hundred and eighty, besides sick.and wounded, of whom quite a maititude are lying in the villages along the frontier. Many of them are mere children—young gymnasts from the schools of ‘Trzemerzpo and Gnesen—and eye-witnerses describe 1% as a piteous spectacle to see these poor unfortunate boys, who had suffered more from march through wood and swaimp than trom the sword of the enemy. It is not known what has become of | Garewyneki. Some say he was killed; but according to others he bas escaped, and is reorganizing bis corpe in the | forest of Powidy, wita the intention of leading it back to orable opportunity offers.

The forces under his command are esti mated at fifty thousand; but their numbers are being hourly increased, His army is operating io the neighbor hood of Miechow, near the Austrian frontier. The Dictator of Poland, Marian Langiewicx, was born in Prussian Poland, and is now in his thirty-fourth year. His father was a doctor, as his eldest brother now is, residing at Witkowo, in tho Grand Duchy of Posen. He himseif went through the philosophic course of study at the University of Breslau, in 1848, and subsequently went to Prague for the purpose of studying the Sclavonic lan. guages under Professor Czelakowski; but he returned in a few months to Breslau, where he studied mathematics. His means not permitting him to make 4 joug sojourn at the University, he aceepted an advantageous offer as private tutor in the family of a Polish nobleman. After two years he again returned to Bresiau to resume his studies, and from there he went to Berlin to put in his year’s service in the Prussian artillery. When the Italian war broke out Langiewicz offered hin sword to the canse of Italian unity and independence, but only arrived in time to find the campaign closed by the peace of Villa. franca. He had therefore no opportunity of taking his leesons in war in that remarkable campaign, Bat the disappointment did not cause bis ardor to grow cool, He attached himeelf to the fortunes of Garipaldi, and took part in those wonderful exploita which swept the Hourbons from Naples and joined the Two Sicilies to the kingdom of Italy. He fought and condveted himself gallantly in the crowning battle of Volturno, which ended the struggle. Garibaldi, who was | much pleased with the bearing of the young Pole, | and who took a lively interest in him, recommended him | to Microslowaki, who was then condneting » military sebool in Paris for the instruction of Polish emigrants. Here he was for some time engaged in teaching artillery tactics, From Paris he proceeded to Genoa, where a branch of the same school was established; but it was suppressed by the government, on the demand of Russia, ‘a8 @ condition of her recognition of the Italian kingdom. In the meantime Langiewicz bad returned to Voland, | where, of course, hé ok ap active part in the prepara. tions for the conflict in which that country is now engaged and.as soon as the outbreak caused by the conscription occurred he put himself at the head of the first insurroe Honary bands that gathered together in the forests of Southern Poland. His energy, skill aod military talents soon made him conspicuous, and, although he was up to that time not known to the public, he is now recognized and looked up to as the Bopo of the struggling nation. Ho is not yot thirty-four yeare of age, and is of small sta ture, a& were #0 many of the military notabilities of the world. Af toold General Mierosiowski, bis usual bad fortane seemeto have attenced him. He bad hardly got into Poland, where be was to assume chiel command, before | the band which he led was attacked and routed by the Russians, and he himself narrowly eseaped. It i. reported that many-of the Polish officers declared thelr unwilling- pees to fight ender him, while another rumor i that be | had been sent vy the provisional government into Lithu- Ania for the purpose of arouring the Poles of that province. Garibaldi has written s warm letter of encouragement to Langiewicz, promising soon to.be with him; aod it i said that the Dictator bas deolimed for the preernt that aid, desiring, i{ possible, to avoid eomplicating the Potteb cause ip & manner that would give offence to Austria, which Power now appears friendly. It ia for the same reagon that tbe Hungarian leaders have been appealed wo -not to make any movement at this time. These facts tend o abow that the revolutionary government m guided by politic and stetesmaniike views. The great Powers are much esescised by this Poliab question. There ie.v0 mistaking the sentiment in favor of.Poland, if Knglend would have ouly agreed to an armed intervention France would undoabtedly have re- sorted to it. As it ie, Shere seems some probability of an armed intervention on the part of France and Austria. The Tope has been applied to by Russia to use his influ ‘ence with the Polish clergy, but bas dechned interfer: and the king of Italy in represented an deing prepared to back up any measures that may be resorted to by France, England and the other Powers. There thas appears to be some probability that the Polish movement will not be no fruitions an these revolotions that have preceded it in that hapless country.
