PROSI Till CONSTITUTIONNZL OP SATURDAY. BRUSSELS, *LOMA ay 17. Several commercial letters coining from Germany (for very few are received hem Russia, and those which do come speak with much circumspection of the affairs of that country, a precaution, without which they would be stopped at the frontiers), announce, without our thinking ourselves entitled to give credit to the report, but in such a manner that the news is generally spread, that the Insurgents at St. Petersburgh, far from being reduced, are more menacing than ever; that great movements, like those that took place in Rusf.ia, long after the occupation of the throne by Catherine (but mach more serious), have manifested themselves in various parts of the vast Russian Empire, the nearest to the place of Alexander's death ; that while Constan tine kept himself shut up at Warsaw, the army on the Pruth loudly declared for Iriin ; that the same aim& mity of opinion prevail* at Moseme ; that the feeling in favour of the Bteeks, long suppressed by the Auto. chit who has just descended into the tomb, everywhere skews itself with violence, and forebodes a long series of agitation, unless the Government resolves to change its policy accordingly ; that though Constantine seents• to persist in his •project of abdication, the powerful partisans of the old Russian policy, who want a Chief, will make use of his name, in spite of himself - , to oppose a powerful resistance to the foreign influence by which they are indignant at having been so long governed. The accounts him the Hague state, that the Princess is constantly plunged in the most profound affliction.— It seems that, independent of the loss of her brother, to whom she was tenderly attached, that Princess, who has so often deplored the fate of her unhappy fellow Christians, the Greeks, and who must be well informed of the spirit of opposition which sheaved itself in all parts of the Russjan empire to . the Emperor Alexander, is filled with the most serious alarms for the fate of her own family. The Dublin Evening Post of Saturday contains the Report of the fifth and sixth days' proceedings of the " Catholic Association for 1826." At the Meeting on Friday the Chair was taken by the Hon. GoNvlcrat Frnexcu, and the business commenced by Mr. O'Con- NELL reading a number of letters from Noblemen and Gentlemen, who declined attending the" National Din ner.'' These came from a Protestant Clergyman, the son of the late, and brother of the present Lord VENTRY, the Hon. aid Rev. Mr. Mur.LINS, the Earl of Essex, the Marquis of CLANRICARDE, Lord CLONIROCK, Sir E. O'Brtm, Bart. and H. GRATTAN, Esq. who all de clined the honour, from various reasons stated in the respective letters. Mr. O'ConmeLt. then brought forward his motion to petition Parliament to repeal the Act of last Session for suppressing illegal Sncieties in Ireland. In the course of his speech he eulogized the Administration of the Marquis WELLESLEY, who, he said, had levelled religi ous distinctions, and done much good for Ireland. He concluded by moving that a Petition which was read to the Meeting be adopted. Mr. Bale seconded the motion, and defended the late Catholic Association, which he contended was strictly constitutional. Several other members spoke on the subject, and the Petition was unanimously agreed At the meeting on Saturday; Sir THOMAS ESMONDE, Bart. presided. Letters were read from Earl DARNLEY, Colonel TALBOT, M. P. and Dr. SADLIER of Trinity College, declining to attend the dinner. On the motion of Mr. O'CoNNELL, a deputation was appointed to consult with the Catholic Bishops, on the best means of educating the poor, preparatory to an application to Parliament for funds for that purpose. The deputation waited on the Bishops, who stated, that they could not attend the Association, and that they had entered into resolutions on the subject of education. What the nature Pariiament is on the eve of assembling, and, with the of those resolutions was, did not transpire ; but if the Irish prospect of a short Session, we can hardly remember a Catholics are never educated until their Bishops execute period which promises to be productive of so much the task, they will remain long enough in ignorance discussion. we suspect. The great source of that discussion will undoubtedly Mr. COPPINGLPH moved the appointment of a Com be the Comm . ercill Policy of the Country, ramifying mittee to frame a Petition to Parliament on the subject of tithes, but, after some discussion, it was withdrawn. itself into the important questions of the Corn Trade— In the course of the debate, Mr. O'CoNtrirr.r. disdain ed the Silk Trade—the state of Paper Currency—,ioin ` having rejoiced in the distress of England.—Thanks 'll-114s, EVENINi; STAR, TUESDAY, - JANUARY 24, 1826, STOCK EXCHANGE:, TWILLVE O'CLOCK.

The paper of the 12th contains some interesting intelligence from Poland. The oath of allegiance to the Emperor NICHOLAS was taken at Warsa,w on the 2d instant, by the Civil and Milit ,ry Authorities, and the Manifesto of the EMPEROR on his accession to the throne was published. Two other Pro= clamations were also issued; in one the EMPtROS de clares his unalterable wish that his reign may merely be a continuation of ►hat of the late EMPEROR, and swears to maintain the Constitution granted to the Pole,: In the second Proclamation the EIMER )ft CODfiiros Prince JOSEPH ZAJOUTSCHEK in his office of Viceroy Poland. The Officers of Administration and the bunals all retain their situations without exception. Oa the Si January, Te Deum was performed at Warsaw, nu the accession of the Emperor NICHOLAS, and the general mourning for the late Ernpet or ALEX. ANDER commenced. It wAs generally said at WArsaw, tliat his Imperial Highness the Grind Duke CONSTANTINg, would set out in a few days for St. Petersburg!). The folloating are extracts: LONDON. 'Stock &tidy adventures—and tie removal of Coln menial Ilestrictions •on foreign intercourse in general. On this last point the Zloite fairly spirits out; In a well written article received yesterday, it states that Mr. Hosscisson had so right to found a demand for a commercial treaty with France, on the facilities recently afforded by England fc.r the introduction of French productions; those facilities having originated in the mere desire to repress smuggling, and thereby to benefit the British Revenue. The basis of any commercial treaty with foreigners must, it is asserted, be laid in a free trade in Corn, if Elgland would claim credit for sincerity in desiring to place foreign intercourse on a more liberal footing generally. But such a basis, the Etoile asserts, Is impossible, because Min sters dare not propose to Parliament, which comprehenAs the Landed Interest, any measure having a tendency to the reduc tion of rents. It remains to be seen how far the Frenchman is a soo hsayer in this prediction. e dare not premise that the event will falsify his prophecy,because we see the strong, array which is already prepared to arrest any discussion on the subject of the Corn Trade. From that array, the monopolists in the silk trade have t iken courage, and it certainly appears that they expect to defeat the operation of the law passed two years ago, for the admission of French silks under protecting duties, by the clamour arising from the real distress of the unemployed at tisans. The looms are idle, the men are starving because the masters assert they cannot praduce a fabric equal to the French article, even when the latter is taxed at thirty per cent. and the former is at prime cost. The reason they adduce is the high price of bread in England, The land-owners assert that bread cannot be lower without ruin to their interests. So that the people are not to see the most distant prospect of terminating the monopoly in either or any other branch, by a free and fair competition with the foreign trader. It is wholly left out of sight that foreign silks, and other pro ductions, are subjected to heavy taxation, which goes to diminish the burthens on landed produce, and lessen the charge of raising corn. It is also left out of right that foreign corn, if permitted to be consumed in Eng land, would also bring in a great revenue, and still further lessen the but thens of the native agriculturist : but most of all is the unassailable argument suppressed, which shews that all foreign commodities wnatsoever must be purchased with British labour,exerted on commo dities of some other kind, the fabric of which must there fore be immensely extended, and thereby give employ. ment to countless thousands who will otherwise be idle. High priced bread, and scanty employment, is, and must be, the doom of our industrious and increasing population, if monopoly is to be maintained—whether in Corn or any other article which the foreigner can supply on cheaper terms than ourselves. The conse quence of this state of things it is fearful to contem plate—and we trust that the blindness of temporary interests will give way to more enlightened principles, ere the evil :hall be remedied by more viplent means. ‘Ve would, therefore, implore our Land-Owners, and great Manufacturers, who compose the majority, if not the whole, of the Legislature, to bear in mind the prophetic words of MONTESQUIEU. on the subject of leaving tile executive to be exclusively supported, in measures of permanent benefit, by the mass of the people: 66 Has not Rome, Athens, and Sparta per ished ? " The British Constitution will perish, when the Legis " lative power becomes more corrupt than the Executive." POLAND. According to accounts from Warsaw, the garrison and all the civil authorities of that Capital took the oath to the Emperor Nicholas, on the 2i of January. His Imperial Highness the Grand Dake Constantine on this occasion left the Belvedere for the first time, since the death of his Majl , st y Alesander, and received in person the oath of the Russian Regiments of the Guard, for his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas; the PolisliGuards took the oath to General Krasinski, the other regiments to the respective Generals of Divisions. The Senate assembled in the Palace to take the oath, the other authorities in the bureaux. On the same day the Manifesto of the Emperor Nicholas I. in which he announces his ac.:ession to the throne, was published at Warsaw, with the supple ments belonging to it. The Warsaw Journal (Jlonilor Warszataski) of the 2d inst. contains also the two fol lowing Imperial Proclamations, relative to Pol4nd ; t.—Extract from the Promcol of the Office of Secretary of State of the Kingdom of Poland. " We, by the grace of Goo, Nicholas I. Emperor of all the Russia', King of Poland, &c. &c. &e. to all and every one whom it may concern, considering the lst and 3d articles of the Constitu tion, which prescribed irrevocably the union of the Kingdom of Poland with the Russian Empire, and in the same order of suc cession, we ordain, "The Manifesto which we issued on the 12th (24th) of this month to all our subjects, without exception, is common to our kingdom of Poland; we therefore order the publication of the said Manifesto in that kingdom, and the observance of the directions contained in it relative to the oath of allegiance to be taken to us, as well as in respect to the date of our accession. " Paces ! We have already signified, that it is our unalterable wish that our Government may be merely a continuation of the Government of his Majesty the Emperor and King, Alexander I. of glorious memory; and we thereby also declared, that the Insti tutions which he gave you shall be maintained. In consequence, I swear and promise before Goa, that I will observe the Constitution and cause it to be observed, to the utmost of my power. " Implore Gated blessing for us, and help us with that devoted ness and confidence (which we expect from you as a valuable le gacy of the late Sovereign, whose loss we lament) in the exercise of the difficult duties imposed upon us, and be convinced that we. penetrated with the sentiments of our predecessor towards you, will constantly and with equal goolwill, give you proofs of our most sincere Royal regard.

From the Rio de Janeiro Papers, which are to the 14.1, of November, we learn that Sir Crt ARL Es Srua R r was still there, and that the 21st of November had been fixed on for an entertainment to be given to his Excellency by the British merchants, previously to his departure for Buenos Ayres, which was to take place on the following day, the 22d, in the DhatoNe frigate. The accounts received at Rio of the action of the 12th,of October, near Monte-Video, shew results not less fatal than those given by the Independent party, since they state the loss of the Brazilians at fifty-two Officers and four hundred soldiers killed and wounded, with upwards of a thousand Officers and men taker, pri soners. MANOEL, the commander of the Brazilians, is stated to have fallen in the action. This disaster ha.l caused very great alarm at Rio, where an aprreheo sion was entertained that the victorious troops would march into the province of Rio Grande. Exe:tions were making to equip another expedition, to consist of all the disposable force of the capital, estimated at two thousand five hundred men, which was to sail be fore the end of the month, to reinforce the garrison of Monte-Video, which will probably prove the last scene of the contest between Brazil and Buenos-Ayres, for the possession of the Banda Oriental.
