Poor Poland—The treatment of the Poles by the Russian Government, according to the French papers, continues to be of the most cruel and revolting character. The Boston Atlas translates the following items from late papers:

Last March, says the Democratie Pacifique, the Czar ordered that the Polish insurgents should ascend the scaffold to the sound of joyous and lascivious music, and that all Warsaw should look on without a murmur at this revolting spectacle.

In December, this kind Emperor wishes all Warsaw to celebrate, by transports of joy, the anniversary of his birth, and required every one to illuminate his house, under pain of death!

The German papers inform us that the people remained sad and silent, and that Warsaw had the appearance of an immense charnel house, under this universal illumination, where shone the fatal gades puin of death

To the frightful details that we have published of the cruelties inflicted by the Czar upon the exiles of Siberia, we add the following, which shows at the same time to what monstrous excesses Russian Despotism abandons itself in Poland, and the well merited feeling it inspires in the population,

A young man of Warsaw had been arrested and confined in the citadel. He was there so ill treated that in a short time he was attacked by a disease in the chest, which left no hope of saving him. They then resolved to restore him to his family, and two or three days before he was to be set at liberty, his betrothed was permitted to visit him. At the moment when she left him the prisoner whispered to her, "Burn my dressing gown." These words were unfortunately overheard by the jailer, and upon going out of the prison, the young girl was seized, bound with cords, plunged into a dungeon and subjected to tortures, to discover where was the dressing gown. The executioners grew weary before the victim, who was restored to her family— but so mutilated that she died in a few days. Her betrothed died the following day.— The funeral of the two young people took place upon the same day, at the same hour, in the same church. Never had the population been so numerous or so excited as at this sad procession; and the palls which had covered the coffins were seized by the crowd and divided into a thousand pieces, every one wishing to have a relic of these two martyrs of patriotism.
