In the House of Commons on the 6th inst. two bills intended to compromise the vexed question of church rates wore debated and both rejected.

The Polish Insurrection. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Morning Post says:—‘* There is every reason to suppose that Russia, if invited, will submit to a conference on Poland. Napo- Jeon is said to have received assurances from the Czar on this point. The Journal de St. Petersburg publishes des- patches from the Sweedish, Spanish ana Italian Governments, all relating to the Polish question, with the respective replies of Russia. The Sweedish note relies al ‘NM upon the principles of humanity and generosity by which it is persuaded the Emporor of Russia is actuated, and expresses the conviction that ‘words of clemency and forgiveness, with the prospect of a rule of sagacious liberty, will suffice for the complete re storation of tranquillity and order. The reply tothe Swedish note refers to the note to the three Western Powers. The Spanish note deeply regrets the impatience of the Poles, who have been unable to await the continuation of the system of concession already granted. Having seen by experience that moderation allays popular agitation more usefully than severity, the Queen asks that indul- gence may be shown towards the vanquished. The reply to this note thanks the Spanish government. ‘The note of the Italian government is drawn up in o conciliatory manner, and hopes the Russian Court will see from the spirit of the despatch proof of the desire of the Ttalian government to remain on the most friendly foot- ing, and that entire confidence may continue to exist be- tween them. The Emperor, in reply to this note, men- tions tne pleasure with which he received the friendly expressions, and conttnues:—As regards the welfare of Poland, the Italian government is not unaware that revo- lutionary efforta impose difficult tasks upum the ruling Powers. The government will try to arrange the question upon a basis of lasting peace. On the 2d (ast. the insurgents, under Ticzanowski, were defeated near Bueziuo, Ticzanowski was wounded.
