But when it hecame the object of an international ac: the quettion changed its nature, and the Cibinets were cailed Upon to appreciate these arrangements.

LANGIEWICZ: BIS TROOPS, CAMP AND COMPANIONS, Viena (March 11) cvrrespondence of London Times, ‘hen General Langiewicz issued his manifesto marched in three columns from Goszeza, and @ few hours after he had disappeared large bodies of Russian troops advanced towards that place. ‘A few days ago an Austrian subject visited Langiewles in his headquarters, and his account of what he saw and heard is extremely interesting. All themen under@the immediate comrpand of the Polish Dictator appear to be in excellent heath and spirite.. In general they are in the prime of life, but several gray boarded patriows of the year 1831 were im the camp at Goszcza. Tangiewicz is small, spare man, appears to be about thirty years of age; his bair is brown; bis eyes large, dark, and well formed; his do meanor quiet and reserved. He was somewhat lame; but the Austrian had no opportunity of inquiring whether his lameness arose from a recent wound. Lan- giownez is very devout, and he advises his men to keep their consciences in good order, as there is bardly a mo- ‘ment in the day in which they are not exposed to danger, In the camp at Goszeza were Jiezierancki, Cxieszew ski, and otber distinguished partisans, and a'young lady named Pustoyivtoy, who is dressed like a man and fights like one.
