Two hundred Polish delegates, all exiles, held a meeting at
Rapperswyl, Canton St. Gall, on the 17th inst. The object was to erect a monument to commemorate the long struggle of Poland for independence, which commenced with the confederation of Bar a hundred years ago. The monument is a column, we trust not a broken one, or the whole proceeding will have too much the air of a funeral ceremony. Count Plater, Professor Kinkel, and others delivered addresses, the burden of which was that Poland ought in the interest of Europe to be revived, but it is noteworthy that the German professor thinks the " Germanized " provinces should remain German, and that no French Pole was present. The leaders of the "European Democracy," however, are said to have sent letters of sympathy, and the meeting will at all events prov to Europe that Poland 18 not yet completely Ruasianized.
