LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 4. lr cannot be said that with thelossof LANGIRIVICZ 1 the Polish strugi,le has declined; rather it bascaught new vigour from difficulty and desperation. If I there seems at this early Easter time a momentary lull in the ardour of sympathising Europe, the last word of the British Parliament at parting was • for Poland, and the first word at meeting, we may be sure, will be for Poland again. The Easter holidays have not suspended the interest of every free people in the fate of a nation fighting for its life ; nor is even the expression of that interest in terrupted by more immediate and more trivial pre occupations. Was not Lord PALMERSTON reminded of Poland in the midst of his popular triumphs at Glasgow and Edinburgh? In France, though perhaps the revival of public spirit may be on the surface only, and though the independent and Liberal party are preparing for the general election at home, the cause of Poland is keenly felt to be one with the honour of France. The semi-official news papers assure the French public, in mysterious paragraphs, that, when the hoar comes, it will be seen that the EMPEROR has not abandoned Poland. So, too, at Glasgow Lord Paz men:crow declared, amidst tumultuous cheering, that the diplomatic intervention of Eng land, in concert with other Powers, is being and will be exerted in behalf of Poland. The PREMIER, who in his most unguarded moments knows how to measure his words on foreign policy, utters a regret that it is not in the power of the British Government to " decide the destinies " of that interesting nation. Meanwhile the Poles, not unmindful of the melancholy fact that, however interesting a nation may be, its meek and passive protest against tyranny gains no new friends among the Powers of Europe, and makes even diplomatic intervention a dead letter, are struggling to decide their own destinies at the . sword's point. Alter Easter the fighting season for insurgents comes, when Nature hes& is clement and propitious to patriots. Every month, every week, every day, this insurrection perseveres the sympathy of Europe is enlarged, and the demand on the intervention of the Powers becomes louder and more exacting. It is easy to taunt public writers with sitting at their ease and urging brave men to useless and fatal conflicts. No such taunt will deter us from asking what the Poles or any other suffering nation have to hope from the diplomatic intervention of the Powers, so long as that intervention consists in appealing to the magnanimity of the CzAR. What did "diplomatic intervention" do for the Poles between 1831 and 1856, or even in 1861, when the population of Warsaw were offering themselves up unresisting victims, in the streets and at the altars, to the tender mercies of the Czar"? Yet, if we are to believe the rumour that comes from Warsaw to Paris, the Central Revolutionary Committee at Warsaw are actually invited—indirectly and unofficially, we need not add—by the Governments of France and Eng land to stop the insurrection and order the patriot bands to lay down their arms, while the Govern ments of France and England are pressing their diplomatic intervention, more or less aided and approved by Austria, upon the good heart of i - LESANDaIItIL ! Before the Polish insurgents can know the nature of this diplomatic intervention, what are its propositions, its aims, its promises, and, in the event of failure, its consequences to themselves, they are recom mended once more to lay down their arms, and to stand waiting with their eyes shut and their mouths open for the fruits of diplomatic interven tion ; possibly, for the renewal of solemn en gagements again and again broken ; possibly, for the condescending good intentions which Count 014011 hinted in 1856, and the Grand Duke CowsrairrivE was sent to Warsaw to fulfil ; pos sibly, for the grant of national institutions to the Duchy of Warsaw, or even the creation of a new Russian Kingdom of Poland out of the Duchy of Warsaw and the incorporated provinces. Possibly, too, for the uncovenanted magnanimity of theCzas. And while the insurgents are disarmed and meekly waiting upon the Powers, what is to be the atti tude of the Russian army in Poland Let us be permitted to treat this rumour r a sorry fable until it becomes a fact. When it is a feet, diplomacy will have surpassed itself. It will not have left a noble nation to be murdered, but it will have stepped in to save the murderer's re putation, by requesting the victim to dispatch itself. Ix is with pleasure we observe that Lord PAL 'nearer; has closed the aeries of his speeches in Scotland with an address altogether worthy of his position and reputation. There was nothing pre scriptive, traditional, or artificial in the language of the PREMIER at the Leith Corn Exchange. The evidences of energy and enterprise which sur rounded him in that busy port, ana the prosperity which is their reward, inspired him with a warm and genuine admiration. It was a scene with which his character is formed to sympathise. Lord PAL.mxitsrox bas an eye and a heart for visible greatness, and he spoke without extravagance when be said that the spectacle of the splendid docks and ample shipping which told of British intelligence, and the wise and courageous expenditure of capital, filled him with the " greatest delight." H All you have done," said the PREMIER, " has " been done by the expenditure of your own " capital and industry, and it is not only doubly " honourable to you, but it will be more advan " tageous in the end than if it had been the " result of donations from other parts of the " empire." We are not permitted at present to reckon a proposition like this among the truisms of an exuberant rhetoric!; and perhaps the testis ' faction which Lord PALMERSTON thus expressed was heightened by the remembrance of the speech tihe recently had to make on the Galway Packet subsidy. But it was in celebrating the triumphs of the policy of free trade that Lord PALMERSTON rose to the height of his powers. Nor is it in vain that our public men insist from time to time on the immense gain derived to the nation from the great victories over monopoly won within the last fifteen years. Not only are other great communities still in bondage to the errors which so long held us enthralled, but the tendencies developed under the system, now happily over thrown, still appear and re-appear in our judgments, if not in our practice. " There was a time," ob served Lord PALMERSTON, " when it was believed " that the interest and profit of the few was to be " preferred to the advantage of the many." Doubt less that is what was believed. What was said was somewhat different. It was alleged that the interest of the many themselves required that the few should have special advantages. We have banished that idea from our commercial policy, but it is in vigorous vitality in other departments of our public life. And even now we have great social doctors and teachers who tell us that the riginte of freedom is not suitable for every climate and country, and who show a disposition to justify those who in one country deny to four millions of their fellow-men the right freely to exchange that labour which is the source of all wealth. The ides of society, as bound to protect the natural rights of its members, and as moat safely esta blished when doing so, is not yet universal. Men are apt to fancy that it must be weak and defec tive, or as the cant now is, " imperfectly or " ganixed," if some machinery of restriction and coercion is not at work. Lord PALMERSTON shows triumphantly how much we have gained by forbidding these follies to interfere with the business of production and exchange. And it is indeed an achievement to be proud of. We in the tumult of events may be ready to forget it ; but enlightened foreigners wonder at the greatness of the victory that has been gained over the deep-seated and almost universal prejudice which upheld the corn laws. The great difficulty, as Lord PaxitEagrom pointed out, was to get persons to imagine the effect of a state of things •Efferent from that to which they had been accus tomed. Men of narrow ideas ignorantly identify with their success all the conditions under which it has been achieved, the hindrances as well as the aids. All alike form part of their experience, and accordingly all are appealed to with equal conS dance. The opposition to truth and reason came, as Lord PALMIIISTON observed, from those "practical men" whom no argument could en lighten. "We were told," said the noble lord, " this is all very well in theory, but " we are practical men ; you are theorists and " idle dreamers ; practical men alone are those " who are capable of judging of the effect of legis- ' " lotion upon human affairs. Well, it has often " and well been said that the practical man is the " greatest theorist, only he is a bad theorist ; " that he founds his opinions upon the theory " which he has based upon narrow induction, and " upon a mistaken view of the foundation upon " which theories ought to rest; that those whom he _ _. . . " calls theorists have founded their opinions upon " a larger and more rational view of things ; that " they therefore are right, and that he, cow*- " quently, is wrong." And thus it we : the so called.practical man, with his buying and selling, had been developing wonderful sagacity in turning the opportunities of his situation to account; but he might have done this for ever, and accumulated the wealth of the Indies, without ever rising to a comprehension of the wonderful economic laws of which he was a blind instrument. Happily there is something liberalising in the spirit and operations of commerce, and there have never been wanting merchants, bankers, and manufacturers who, having vindicated their own skOl in the suc cessful prosecution of commerce, have proclaimed broad and enlightened views of the interests of the nation. The " theorists," the men who made it their business to understand the natural laws which others ignorantly obeyed and often as ignorantly thwarted, have always had the warm support of practical men of this class. The question of mono poly or free trade is precisely one of those which experience is competent to decide. And as Lord PALYIBSTON shows, the very classes which free trade was to have ruined, are those which have most benefited by its operation. This lesson is not new, but its repetition is still useful both at home and abroad, and we thank Lord PaLitazurroN for rehearsing it so well. THE BILL FOR CLOSING PUBLIC HOUSES ON SUNDAYS. (From the Senn's, Belies.) What Mr. Somes's bill amounts to is the total prohibitioe of beer to the working man on Sunday. It is soompuloory =forcemeat of total 'Wainscot,. at haat on one day in the week for at least half the population of this country. Less than this the bill does not aim at, and it is as well that its real extent should be known. It not only excludos the Sunday excursionist from his visit to the country inn, but it dries up those foaming pole which meet us on leaving tows churches oa Sunday morning. It condemns the Sunday meal—the poor man's only meal— either to cold water or a dry crust. This may be quite right, bat it is a tremendous innovation on the social life of a whole people ; and it is all the worm because it is *wielded, trap aka], and oppressive. We of the comfortable classes have OUT cellars, our clubs, our bottled beer, oar old cognac, our every means arid appliance for reconciling as we can, Of as we choose, our duties to ourselves, to society, to religion, and to health. We may either drink to satiety, in moderation, or not at all. Nobody interfere• with as. Yr. Seams does not legislate for the like of him self ; beady steps in sad orders what be thinks best for thins who, as ►e doubtless thinks, cannot help themselves. met they. though? Partial weeny of this sort not the &phalanxes habit to endure. There is not a nation on the earth which would endure this sort of legislation ; nor aught they to ecdure it. These are not the diva for call ing out class passions, or for inviting sections of society to stand out Kunst their fellows.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE POLAND. no Datal. of to-day says : We expressed doubt, two days ago as to the authen ticity of the news which arrived from Warsaw to the infest that the revolutionary committee invited the inswgeota to lay down their arms. Our correspondence from Warsaw informs us that time. is so foundation whatever for this report. On the contrary, we learn that, so fez from losing ground or thinking of giving up the struggle, the insurrection is assuming larger proportions, is being more completely organised, and th►t the two parties of Poles, who hitherto were divided in opinion, have come to a common under standing, in order to prosecute the °outset with greater rigour- SPAIN. The Diaro Espanol of Madrid, of the 31st ult., says : Spain is about to send reinforcements to Cochin China, as the Annamite Emperor refuses to execute certain condi tions of the treaty. Letters from the Philippines an nounce that four companies of the sth Regiment, under the commend of Lieutenant•Coloneel Moscow, left Manilla on the 6th March on board the French frigate Semiramis. Vice-Admiral Juarh, commandant of the Cochin China station, wee also on board. The Annamite government pretends that it ' tended to cede any territory, and demands the revision of Articles 4 and 5 of the treaty. Simultaneously with this demand the insurrection began, and the Annamites fought desperately, even without arms ; 800 of them were killed, but the Europeans lost only two men. It is said that the French admiral has also de manded reinforcements. (ixtrrn's ntsonms.) PORTUGAL. LISBON, MARCH 29. The Duke de Louie% in reply to a question put to him ins recent sitting of the Cortes, said that "The government had the intention to represent to Russia that, after giving an ample amnesty to all the persons compromised by the recent event, it is necessary that the poli+ical rights promised to the Poles by the treaty of Vienna be re-established." The Cortes afterwards voted a motion of sympathy with Poland. The ministry has not the confidence of the Cortes, chiefly on account of the 500,0001. of the late loan kept in reserve, and of the projected in- vase of the property tax. It is said that the party of the Duke de Saldanha has strongly urged him to return to Lisbon, con sidering the resignation of the Duke de Lould as imminent. Judgment has been pronounced in the Portu guese courts against Mr. Lindsay, M.P., in the matter of the Union Mercantile Company. Mr. Francis Morrogh Walsh, one of the directors of the new Anglo-Portuguese Bank, has lately visited Oporto and Lisbon, to organise details con nected with the commencement of business.

Orpheus a total wreck on Manakaou Bar, New Zealand, 7th February, 1863, with loss of Commodore Burnett, 22 officers, and 157 men. Nothing saved. " List of survivors-8 officers and 62 men; Charles Hill (lieutenant), Yonge (supposed to be Lieutenant D. D. Yonge), Ampblett (paymaster), Hunt (supposed to be C. G. Hunt, midshipman), Filding (supposed to be B. W. Fielding, midship man), H. M. Barkly (naval cadet), W. Mason (boatswain), J. Beer (carpenter)." Further information will be given respecting the names of the surviving seamen, but owing to the incorrect spelling of the telegram it is impossible to give them with any hope of accuracy until they have been compared with the records iu the othoe. The Army and Nary Gazette Bays : Such a calamity as that of the wreck of the Orpheus has not fallen ou the British nary since that dreary night when the Avenger, with nearly the whole of her crew, nu warned and unprepared, disappeared beneath the waters of the Me diterranean. The Orpheus "rasa ADO screw operetta of 1,706 tons, 400 horse power (nonsinalt ; she mounted 21 gum, and her regular complement of officers, men, and boys should have been 275. She was commissioned on the 25th of October, 1861, and left England for North America at the time when the Treat &Mile caused so much excitement in Eng. lead. Of Commodore Burnett and Commander Burton we can only speak in terms of praise. They were both gallant end distinguished o ffi cers, who had worked their way up in the service by well-directed iotelligeoce and industry. They bare died as they lived, at the poet of duty ; and this feet will, we trust, after the first burst of sorrow which the news will cause is over. convey some cousolation to their sorrowing relative' and friends, to whom and to all con nected with the remainder of the officers sod crew who hare lost their lives in comp iny with their brave captain, we an only further offer a feeling of deep sympathy. THE CONFEDERATE CRClSSZB.—lnformation man received in Glasgow on Thursday regarding the complete destruction by fire of two vessels, which were seized at sea three weeks ago by • cruiser be longing to the Southern American States. One of these vessels was the Star of Peace, bound from Calcutta to Boston. She sailed from Calcutta on the 13th of December lest, commanded by Captain F. M. Hinkley, and bevies oa board • crew of twenty men, but no passengers. Her cargo was of a general nature, her teenage was 921 toss, arid being • vessel belonging to a Northern States port she bad the Federal gag displayed. On the 6th of March, in let. 16 N., I loot. 54 W., while opposite the West Indio Islands and the Gulf of Mexico, the Star of Peace was descried by • war steamer likewise showing the Federal flag, bat which turned out to be the Confederate steamer Florida. The war steamer fired across her path, and the shell ex ploded half • mile ahead ; then the Florida, running along side the Star of Peace, hailed her and asked her where she was from and whither boned, and what cargo she bore. A boat was next launched by the steamer, having on board the wooed lieutenant, and, as it approached the Star of Peace, the Federal colours were pulled down sod the Confederate Bag substituted. The whole crew of the Star of Peace were afterwards conveyed as board the privateer, and the ship, which was worth 10,000 L, and the cargo which was worth 200.0031., was set on fire and destroyed. The case were placed in irons and the °Rees were distributed in various perm of the Florida, the captain beam put in the cabin, the mate in the mud-room, and the awned mate in the steerage. The Akers were, however, afterwards put upon parole. About a week after the burning of the Star of Peace the same Confederate steamer fell in with the Laura Jane, of Liverpool, • schooner bound to Bermuda. The Florida in like manner compelled her to heave to, sod the captain was requested to take the olti mu of the destroyed vessel on board. He, however, declined to do so, giving es his reason that, as his vessel was leaded with govern. ment stores, he might compromise himself with his own government. As the British vessel was departing an American schooner (the Aldebaran) came in sight, and at the time was standing down right in the direction el the I Florida. She was fired at and the officers and men were likewise taken out of her, and the vessel also destroyed by fire. The Florida was commanded by Captain J. N. Mallitt, who boasted to his priseern that be had destroyed four millions of property 'tilde 50 days.

Free Poland in a free Russia is the France's watchword Of course, everybody must hope that the Emperor Napoleon may be powerful enough to give effect to such good intentions. Here is • curious anecdote bearing upon the late ministerial crisis. M. Fould, in his financial 'peach in the Senate, gave out that the supplemental cre dits for the Mexican expedition would not perma nently affect the budget, because it was the Empe ror's intention to make Mexico pay the expenses of the war. When he eat down, a group of senators gathered round him, and, speaking in that conversa tional tone which prevaila in an arena where there is no public, asked him how he could possibly expect that such a poor country as Mexico, which was utterly unable to pay its debts already, would ever contribute anything to the French budget. M. Fould replied frankly that, in his own private opinion, not a centime would ever be got out of Mexico, but that the Emperor had positively ordered him to make the statement which he had done. This conversation reached the ears of M. Magne, who, as may be collected from the Em peror's own letter, loves M. Fould about as much as a certain personage loves holy water. He, M. Magna, reported the story to the Emperor, and no doubt made the most of it. The famous comma niquf to the Petrie and Debate was, as you have already been informed, drawn up by M. Magne, but I now learn that the Emperor was at work with him at the composition all Sunday afternoon, and that is the reason why his Majesty was waited for in vain at the Vincennes races. There is every reason to believe that the star of Magne was in the ascendant on that day, and that the resignation of M. Fould was an event calmly expected and provided for. I believe that the representations of the Duke de Morny as to the disastrous effect upon the country which the re tirement of M. Fould would be likely to produce at the present time had much to do with the arrangement ultimately made. I still think the favourite minister is not the one who remains in office. M. Magne has the same salary (100,000 fr.) as a privy councillor as he had as a minister without portfolio, so that a more comfortable retreat could not be imagined. ' He is, of course, still in possession of the handsome mansion of which the Emperor made him a pre sent two years ago. THE TRENCH IN MEXICO. Mom 00i OWN NAVAL AND MILITARY. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 4. —His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge arrived here lut night, on a tour of in. spection of the new fortifications. He is accompanied by Colonels Clifton, Bingham, and Sir B. Airy. . . . . We (Army and Nary Gazette) hear that General Lindsay's motion respecting the distinguished-service cob. nide who ass seeking a better place on the list, will take the shape of an address to the crown for the appointment of a royal commission to inquire into the claim. To our mist the result thus aimed at hss been anticipated by the nomi nation, long sines, of a committee of general officers to in. Instigate the awe. They reported four to one as:alma it Captain Robertson, of the 4th Dragoon Gnarls, whose court-seartial will not be forgotten, has (says the Army and Nary (Mzeete) sent in an application to retire from the service. We have received information of the circumstances under which the application was sent in, which, without saying more at present, we venture to think would render desirable an inquiry whether the act was purely voluntary or not, or whether there were say circomstaotme which really called for the resignation, in the ioteresta of the service. We do not for a mo ment believe that Colonel Shute would be guilty of any act um• becoming his position, but we know enough of the staff under whose superintendence the regiment rs placed to make us think some inquiry advisable when another case of intimidation is even hinted at. _ The colonelcies of the 35th Regiment and the lit battalion 60th Rifles are (remarks the Amp and Nary Gazette) vacant by the deaths of Sir George ()oldie and General Paterson. In the absence of the Duke of Cambridge on a tour of inspection, no recommendation has been made for either vacancy ; but those from among whom the two new colonels are likely to be found, we bare little doubt are Majors. General Hutchinson, Trydell, Lord William Paulet, and M'Phemon. __--- - • • •• Aotirstixt ' MARCH 31.—Rear-Admiral of the Rine, Augustus Leopold Law, C. 8., to be vlosAdmiral of the blue, until further orders, and whilst employed is Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships sad vassals within the limits of the Brit India ststiss.-oazette.
