The last chief of the Polish National Government and four of its members died this morning upon the gallows. The unfortunate victims were Romuald Trangutt, a discharged Russian colonel; Krajewski, an architect; Joseph Toczyski, Jeziranski, a tax-collector; all young men, none over thirty years of a book-keeper; Zulinski, a teacher at the gymnasium; and Johann age. Originally twenty-two men and four women were sentenced to death by the military tribunals, but the viceroy pardoned seventeen of the men and all the women. the objects of Count Berg's clemency have much reason to congratu It must not be imagined, however, that late themselves, for their sentences have been commuted partly into many years of labour in the Siberian mines, partly to shorter periods of confinement in fortresses in the same bleak and inhospitable country.

These persons, with several culpable in a less degree, had incurred the penalty of death, but his excellency confirmed the sentence to that effect passed by the court-martial only in the cases of the condemned men Trangutt, Krajewski, Toczyski, Zulinski, and Jeziranski. The sentences of the other prisoners were commuted by his excellency, by virtue of the authority placed in his hands, in Ilnicki's case to fifteen years' hard labour in the mines, Dobiecki to twelve years, and eight of the others to ten years' confinement in Siberian fortresses, each prisoner incurring the loss of all civil rights. The court-martial also found Johann Mieklanowicz, Helena Kirkow, the sisters Emilia and Barbara Gazowska, and Anna Wroblewska guilty of having illegally aided and abetted the rebels. For this offence Madame Kirkow, Mieklanowicz, and the Gazowskas were condemned to loss of civil rights and hard labour in the factories, the former for eight years, the others for six. Anna Wroblewska, also losing her civil rights, was sentenced to transportation to Siberia. The present and future property of the criminals was also confiscated to the use of the state. The five persons condemned to death were executed upon the glacis of the fortress this morning, although a pardon was hoped for to the last moment. They stepped upon the scaffold firmly, and underwent their fate with perfect resignation and composure, in presence of an immense crowd of excited spectators. Thus perished the latest victims of the ill-fated Polish rising of 1863. CURRENT EVENTS. DENMARK AND GERMANY. The Text of the Peace Preliminaries.

President of the Council said that he had not wished to call forth any expression of opinion at the private sitting of the House; he had only been desirous of putting the Rigsraad in possession of what had been done, believing it preferable the members should not obtain their information from foreign papers, reports, and other dubious sources. The Government had neither wished for the advice nor for a resolution of the Rigsraad. Bishop Monrad also spoke against the motion. After the rejection of various amendments, it was ultimately carried by sixty-two to twenty-three. It was resolved at the same time that the address to the King, formerly adopted, should not be presented.

According to a Washington despatch of July 29, the latest official despatches from General Sherman's army state that he is steadily drawing his lines closer around Atlanta. He has as yet received no tidings of the cavalry force sent out to cut the Macon and Columbus Railroad, which is the only means of escape to the rebel army from Atlanta. A latter message from Washington announces that: A despatch received here states that General Hood has made efforts to renew the assault upon General Sherman's lines, since the battle on Friday last. They were, however, feeble efforts, and easily and promptly repelled, with an aggregate loss to Sherman of only about According to Richmond papers the Confederates claim the victory in the battle of the 22nd. The following is General Hood's despatch : | Atlanta, July 23.-The army shifted its position fronting on Peachtree Creek last night, and Stewart's and Cheatham's corps formed line of battle around the city. Hardee's corps made a night march and attacked the enemy's extreme left to-day at one o'clock, and drove him from his works, capturing sixteen pieces of artillery and five stands of colours. Cheatham attacked the enemy at four o'clock p.m., with a portion of his command, and drove the enemy, capturing six pieces of artillery. During the engagement we captured about 2,000 prisoners. Wheeler's cavalry routed the enemy in the neighbourhood of Decatur, capturing his camps. Our loss is not fully ascertained. Major-General Walker killed; Brigadier-Generals Smith, Gist, and Mercer wounded. Prisoners report McPherson killed. Our troops fought with great gallantry.-J. B. HOOD, General. The Richmond Examiner of July 25 says: General Hood has signalised his acceptance of the command of the army of Tennessee with a brilliant victory, and justified his selection by success, the highest evidence of its propriety. The tide has turned, the army has faced about, and the strategy of advance takes the place over that of retreat. The initiative of attack has at last been taken by our army, and its prestige and morale wrested from the enemy. General Hood has turned upon the enemy, and been successful. It is impossible to convey any idea of the gratification which the news of this victory caused. The New York Times observes of the fighting of the 22nd: Both combatants claim a victory in the recent battle. It is probable, however, that the enemy captured the more artillery, while we captured the more prisoners. Their loss in killed and wounded was certainly greater than ours; and, if we may believe the despairing call of Governor Brown for help, it is precisely men which the enemy cannot afford to lose. The same writer expresses the opinion that "it may take weeks, or possibly months yet to reduce Atlanta. The result would justify the labour. But how bright the prospect is of a very speedy capture of that doomed city, and how certain is its ultimate fall, a review of the campaign will indicate." Rousseau's expedition returned to Marietta on the 26th, having destroyed thirty-one miles of railroad and captured 2,000 prisoners. Montgomery, Alabama, was not captured, as was previously reported. The cavalry force sent out by Sherman to cut the Macon and Columbus railroad had not been heard from. General Howard has been appointed to succeed General McPherson in the command of the department of the Tennessee. The position of the Federals forms a semi-circle, its left resting on Decatur, six miles from Atlanta, its right being about three miles from the city. Hood holds a range of hills with Peachtree Creek in his front. Charleston advices represent the bombardment of Sumter to be progressing with renewed vigour, 425 shells being thrown at the fort on the 20th. Several small bodies of well-armed and mounted Confederate cavalry are reported to have crossed the Cumberland River into Kentucky on the 28th. LAW AND POLICE.
