WI: 1846 Greater Polish Uprising goes ahead

I've been doing a bit of reading around the 1848 European Revolutions for a timeline idea I have and I came across the planned 1846 Polish Uprising. Basically, there was a plan to launch a mass insurrection against Austria, Prussia and Russia in their Polish territories, but the plot was uncovered and its leaders were arrested by the Prussians, and as a result the uprising didn't amount to much beyond a small rebellion in Krakow that was subsequently crushed.

What would the likely consequences have been if the uprising was carried out as planned. I'm assuming that the Poles would probably get curb-stomped sooner or later, given that they were trying to take on three major regional powers at once. What I'm interested in is the possible ramifications this might have for the rest of Europe two years later during the 1848 Revolutions. Would the cost of putting down the uprising have weakened Austria and Prussia enough to aid the revolutionaries, or would a more heavily pacified Poland mean that they could focus their attentions more heavily on crushing the revolutions?

Frankly, I wonder if German liberals and Polish revolutionaries could create an uneasy alliance in the late 1840s in this TL; indeed, any thoughts on this?

The German liberals would likely be willing to give up posen but probably no more than that and given that they eventually decided they were going to offer the Crown to the king of Prussia they would likely renege on it.
 
The Polish can´t win and the Liberals know it, they will just try to sway nationalist on their side instead of opposing them.
