POLAND.
The Polish question causes great anxiety in England and on the Continent. The Poles are still fighting victoriously. Russia would conseot to an armistice, but the Polish National Government insists on the following three conditions : — First, the armistice must extend throughout the whole kingdom of Poland, as it existed previous to the first division in 1772. Secondly, a plenipotentiary on the part of the National Government must be admitted to defend the interests of Poland at the conference ; and thirdly, a national diet, composed of dele, gates from the provinces, as well as from the kingdom of Poland, must meet under the guarantee, not merely of Europe, but also of the national army, which occupies all the provinces. Should these conditions not be complied with, "freedom or death" is to be the watchword. Extensive warlike preparations are being made in Russia.
