The Wretched Poles!—Gallignani's Messenger of the 23d June, contains a letter dated Bamberg, June 6, which states that on the 3d June an officer of high rank, formerly belonging to the Russian army, had arrived at that city, having by artifice escaped from Siberia, whither he had been perpetually banished. At Bamberg he was received with great kindness and attention. He states, that on his journey, he saw forty-eight thousand Poles, persons of all ages, sexes, and condition, chained, and marching to Russia. The General Officers of the late Polish army were not exempted from the heaviest shackles! Such are the blessings of an Autocratical Government. Where was France, when Lafayette recommended her interference in behalf of this noble but ill-fated country?—N. Y. Gazette.
