A letter from Posen, dated Deo 0, which Is quoted In the Cologne Quelle, says.-'-Prussia on condition Ibat Russia should re-establish the kingdom of Poland, and plane tbe Duke of Lsucbtenberg over It as K in. has ceded to Russia tbat part of the Grand Ddohr of I'ossn. which, according to tbe line of demarotion traced by General Von Scbuffer B?rostela, has not been incorporated into GermaDy The formal ast of cession will lake place on tbe 1st of January. The arrival of a Russian Councillor of State at Ks'isch. has reference to tbe execution of this Important treaty Similar mgoliations have commenced with duitrla, on the euhjeut oi the neselon of Cranow au l thaPolish part of Galllcta hnt tbe reality of this Is not yet determined. The n?w kingdom of Poland will hare a coiiktiiLtion granted 10 it, and will be placed provisionally under tbe protection of the three powers All thlc may be considered as an attempt to satisfy tlbe I'-ler. and extinguish tbat Important locus of resolution for Kastern Kutope. If the attempt should rail, the whole or I'oianl will return under the domination of Russia, and the population cf the Grand Ducby of Posen hopes confidently that the cession to Russia will be effected. The Gastlit of Poland, however, asserts that It doss not give cri silt to this strange Intelligence. The Pi n'nu Gazettr, on the other hand says there are in the hingdomot Poland 100,000 uien ready to light, and who are at the disposal of Austria whenever she chooM-s to call for them Should Au-trla be reduood to the necessity of requiring ttacm. she may in return abandon Ualllcia to the Czar, which would perfectly satiify him. The frontier between Poland and Rus<ia will shortly be opened It is even asserted that this also is to ba the case In regard to ( racow; and according to anothsr report, the kingdom of Poland vein b* reinstated in Its ancient foim, and Craoow will again be a republic. Such are tbeaccounte given by some of the best Informed journals, although they are not in accord In regard to facts. It nevertheless seems pretty certain that negotiations are pending, and that some change will shortly take place in regard to Poland.
