WARSAW, April 2.
Letters from the province of Podolia assert, that about 1200 Polish emigrants are assembled in Moldavia: among them are the celebrated brigadiers Wolynko, Denisko, Liberadzky, and several other leaders, who have distinguished themselves in the late revolution. Lately they made an incursion into Podolia, dispersed a patrol of Russian Cossacks, and after having pushed as far as Swaniez, they posted up manifestos wherein they formally protest against the partition of Poland, and declare that with the help of God, they expect to restore their country to its former independence, and re-establish the constitution of the 3d May, as the only one adapted to Poland and universally cherished by the people. After having done this they retreated again to their former stations.

April 4.
The fear of many people here, that new commotions would break out in Poland, is now unhappily but too well grounded: The commotions have already broke out. A new confederation has made its appearance in the Ukraine. Eight thousand armed Poles, all veterans of the Polish army, who, at the time the Russians took possession of Podolia, retreated to the Turkish territory, have lately appeared in the neighbourhood of Kamieniec Podolsky, and at Swaniez, in the territory held by the Russians, they issued a manifesto to the Polish nation and afterwards retreated; they are led on by Deniko, Koligiko and Lieberadezky. The manifesto, which shews that the confederates depend on the support of the Ottoman Porte, is in the hands of many persons in this city.
