From the contents of Hamburgh papers and utters, it is evident that Paskewitsch was deceived Mien he said, " the Polish army and nation hare submitted to their lawful Sovereign." This asser tion is now proved to be an empty boast. The Government, the representatives of the people, and all. the authorities, have evecuated Warsaw pith the army, and the Poles appear determined on making a desperate resistance. These impor tant facts are announced in the following eloquent and patriotic proclamation by General Roziski : PROCLAMATION. " Head. Quarters at Sorrow, S:pt. 12. Poles !—Four days ago a moat sanguinary and obsti nately contested battle was fought under the walls of our :3 pits]. Before the eyes of your wives, sisters, and mothers, undo the view of the whole city of Watssw, the Polish tro ops have slain more than 20,000 of the enemy, and the itmenchments which were formed by the labour of your fel low-citizens, have now become the grave of the invaders. To site the town from destruction, to weaken the force of the enemy, out troops have evacuated the capital. The can non, ammunition, and all implements of defence, the Go vernment, the Deputies, all the Magistrates, have with drawn with the Commander-in-Chief and the army to Med lin. General Krukowiecki is no longer President of the Government. In consequence of an armistice hostilities are for a mo ment suspended ; but, my countrymen, let not that moment tv for you a period of repose which might divert you from the great object of the deliverance of your native land; employ it rather to redouble your strength in new efforts to establish ;be existence and independence of Poland. " Is Warsaw for us all our country ? Do its walls and its inhabitants within so narrow a circuit form the limits of the salon ? After so many great sacrifices, after so many dearly achieved victories, which have justly astonished the world, shall our high thoughts, our feelings, our hopes—shall all thew be at the last moment of expectation dissipated, as if the waters of the Wartime, the Vistula, the Dniper, the Bug, and the Dwina, did not present to us the inheritance of our lathers, which, again reconquered, we will convey to our ctuldren ! Who then would treacherously violate the sacred ca:!1 we have sworn, to shed the last drop of our blood in the &fence of the last foot of our native land! No ! The Pole too proud to fail in a pledge given in the face of the shole world, or to look forward with a doubt of victory while he still is able to lift an arm. He who can value liberty, who calls himself freeman, will also know ho - w to break the fetters attempted to be imposed upon him, "Poles ! Yet one moment more of endurance and resigna tion, and the end of the glorious contest, whose result will be the restoration of our freedom, independence, and rights, is at hand. The scale of victory must preponderate in favour of the zeal and resolution of our soldiers, and tbe sacri fices of our citizens. History exhibits no example of a united nation, striving to obtain one great object, being de ceived in its hopes. Did not our enemies, 19 years ago, lose their capital, and notwithstanding was not their nationality aal independence secured ? Never let us forget that we owe every thing to our country, our common mother. Her ex istence is ours ; we wear her chains. Then let us once more renew in our hearts the already sworn oath, that we resolve to be a free people : that we will not lay down the sword of our fathers until we recover liberty and independence.— Henceforth let our motto be-.. , Death or victory !' And when we shall stand in order of battle, we will meet the enemy with the cry—' Live the country,' and thus will we conquer. " ROZISKI." PARIS PAPERS.

Our friends and the public at large are hereby apprized that we have made arrangements for assuring the publication of the daily debates in the Lords, on the Reform Bill, ON THE EVE NING OF THE SAME DAT ; so that our provincial friends may calculate on receiving the day's de bate every Evening, twenty-four hours before the usual time of publication. This arrangement we respectfully announce, as another proof of the unequalled spirit with which the STAR is conducted, both in regard to foreign and domestic politics; and it is trusted that it will be an additional claim to that preference over all the London papers, which the STAR, for some time past, has unequivocally enjoyed. The STAR may, as usual, be had through all the Newsmen, or by orders addressed to the Star Office, Temple Bar. We have now the Polish evidence of Roz Ise 1, that an armistice, or suspension of hostilities, has been agreed to between the Poles and Russians.— We may presume that it was convenient to the latter, after their enormous losses ; while, to fa cilitate negotiation, it was doubtless necessary to concede to Imperial weakness and vanity the no minal possession of Warsaw. We may conclude, I therefore, that that will be done at last, which ought to have been done at first ; and the Polish Constitution will hereafter be respected, but the political dependence on Russia be re.affirmed ! Such ought not to have been the result : but while the statesmen of France and England choose coolly to look on, further sacrifices of the Poles cannot be expected, in maintaining a destructive contest, which is as much the cause of all Europe as of Poland. We therefore consider the Poles as basely abandoned ; and that no less disgrace attaches, in 1831, to the independent Govern ments of Europe, than, in 1772, the epoch of the first partition. The age of political justice has nut yet arrived ; but the outrage of uniting the Duchy of Warsaw to Russia, and thereby bringing Russian despotism into the heart of the Continent, in advance even of Prussia and Austria, will at no distant period be avenged. It is true that the Poles are still embodied ; but e dreed the effect of a truce in a popular cause, and foresee that it will serve only the party whose strength consists of slaves and mercenaries. We are at a loss to reconcile this subjugation with the assurance of Polish nationality by the French Chambers ; but while the strength of France is wielded by men who fear the Holy Alliance more than they confide in popular principles, the Poks can have no hope from political equivocation. Unless, therefore, some propositions are insisted upon—an unlikely circumstance—insulting enough to re-arouse the Polish pnpulati , n, we confess we consider that contest as in course onwards some kind of arrangement. Perhaps the Poles may be further afflicted by protocols, and the patience of Europe may be exhausted by special pleading, till all interest in their cause is absorbed in the labyrinth of diplomatic subtleties. An intense interest, amounting to feverish ex citement, pervades the whole nation, in regard to the alleged doubts ab , ut the decision of the House of Lords. As we ourselves have little doubt on the subject, and consider our assurance as the highest compliment we can pay their Lordships, so we regard, as the greatest enemies of the Peer age, all these tublic writers who continue to assert that they will reject the Bill. It is a gross libel on their intelligence and public spirit ; while the confidence with which it is asserted leads to very dangerous hy pothetical conclusions, in all popular assem blies. On the contrary, we feel convinced that a party headed by Lords Londonderry and Eldon, and we will give them Salisbury, Kenyon, Ellen borough, and the like, as a staff, can neither be very numerous, nor very efficient. The public character of the Duke of Wellington affords some assurance that, on this subject, he will not com proinise himself ; and, really, when we look through a list of the Peers, and observe among them, so many high-minded individuals, whose vassalage to the Boroughmongers must always have been most offensive, and who can have no interest distinct from that of the nation, and no honour but what is allied to the Crown, we consider the assertions that a great majority will not support the Bill, as the mere ebullition of party spleen. It is nut to be concealed, that if the Reform Bill has destroyed the borough uigarchy, which the Constitution demanded, it has engrafted ever y practicable security on the forms and practice of our ancient Government. We believe that the number of peers who was connected with borough proprietary did not exceed fifty or sixty ; while it is known that many of these have, with the most commendable patriotism, surrendered their pretensions. Then, with reference to the great mass of peers, who have no direct concern in cor rupt borough jobbing, it has been very properly stated by several of them, that they consider the possession of this power, in certain Peers, as a general scandal on their Order. In the meantime, that the adverse party may I, lose one favourite argument, we consider the meetings that are taking place all over the coun try, at once salutary and necessary. Their Lard ships ought to be made acquainted with the una nimity of the independent population, and be able to discriminate in such declarations between the feelings of the people, and the flattering unction of the sycophants who too commonly surround them. It is not to be concealed—whatever Lord Eldon may say to the contrary—that the people of England do not recognize the veto of their Lordships, on a question which involves their own legislative representation. This point was very ably explained by the Marquis of Westmin ster; and it mingles so intimately with the entire question, that we are persuaded it will have con siderable weight in producing the decision. In the House of Lords on Monday night the Mar quis of Westminster presented the petition from the late Westminster meeting, which he supported by a very able speech ; and then presented a petition from Chester numerously signed. He stated that the Reform bill was not a subject for their Lord ships' interference, which Lord Eldon warmly resented, and stated that he advised their Lord ships to do their duty, and that he would rather die than admit that the Peers had no interest in the question. It appeared that his prejudices on the subject are aroused. Lord Dacre presented a-petition from the Coal meters of Surrey, praying for compensation for the loss of their employment. The Archbishop's Pluralities bill was passed. The Marquis of Londonderry expressed his dis satisfaction at the absence of the Lord Chancellor, which led to a discussion, in which Lord Plunkett concurred with Lord Londonderry, stating that the house had never considered even attendance upon the KIN° as a sufficient excuse. In the Commons, among other petitions, one was presented by Mr. O'Connell in favour of Poor Laws in Ireland, which led to a conversation pro and con on the subject. The same patriotic Mem ber presented a petition against the Irish Yeo manry, which produced some strong observations from Mr. Ruthven, At. Mr. Robinson moved that the writ for Pembroke shire should be suspended for a week, owing to the miseonduct of the Sheriffs ; but this was opposed, lon the ground that another returning officer might be appointed; and the motion was lost by 24 l against 120. On the Lunatic Asylum Bill there was a division on an amendment by the lords, which was nega tived by 66 to 95; other amendments of the lords were also rejected, and a conference agreed to. It appeared that Sir Robert Inglis had presented a petition against May nooth College, which he had merely received by post, without knowls dge of the parties ; while the signatures proved to be very irregular. On moving for the usual grant to the College, Mr. Perceval, Mr. Young, Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Lefray, Lord Mandeville, Mr. C. Pelham, Sir R. Bateson, and Colonel Sibtborp, opposed it ; but on a division, the , / was 147 few it, against 47. In the House of Lords last night, Lord Lon donderry renee ed his observations on the frequent absences of the Lord Chancellor—mentioning one case of ten days. and quoting the ►tanding order on the subject. Tne Chancellor, in reply, stated that no man had ever been so blinded by party, when he charged him with negligence ; and on assuming that other Lords might be of the same opinion, a general cry of " No, no," proceeded from both sides, on which he state) that it appeared he had only the Marquis to satisfy. He had, he said, devoted a week to bringing up arrears in the Court of Chancery, and another to those in the House of Lords. Since the 22nd of November, be had frequently sat in the Court of Chancery till twelve at night, besides his duty in the House of Lords; that he even sat on the Saturd y before, Easter Sunday, and on Easter Monday, to bear appeals; and on one occasion, he had heard three cases after the bovines, of the House was i.ver. In consequence, he bad been seriously ill for three weeks past—felt ill—and had a very bad coagb, but never felt better than this day. He also stated .~.:~ ' the standing orders merely provided that the Chancellor should be ordi arily present. Lord Eldon spoke on the question, and a . id, that in the next session be should make a motion to provide against similar inconveniences. Lord Holland fully exculpated the'Chancellor from all blame. In the House of Commons Mr. O'Connell post poned his proposition for a call of the House till the 10th of October, which after a long discussion was agreed to. Some of the usual Parliament try interruptions took place while Mr. O'Connell wa: speaking, in the part in which sat Sir It. Vyvyan, whose conduct was reprobated by Mr. Hume.— The Speaker interfered, and Sir R. Vyvyan dis ' claimed the interruption. Mr. O'Connell brought forward 0-c rase of John O'Leary, of Cork, who had been hastily con victed of murder ; but the punishment was com muted to transportation, though the charge had in effect been abandoned. Mr. Mildmay presented a petition from the in habitints of Winchester, in justification of the conduct of the Baring., in the affair of the Deacles. This led to an impassioned debate, during which Colonel Evans moved for a select committee, to inquire into the wh-ile subject. Mr. Le fevre seconded this motion ; but Lord Altl.orp opposed it, and in referring to the Manchester massacre. he quoted i.s magnitude and enormity. and the unjustifiable conduct of the Magistrates, but this was the case of an individual Magistrate. The debate was prolonged till nearly three o'clock, when, on a division, there were 31 for Colonel Evans's I motion, and 7 against it —among the latter of whom was Sir Francis Burdett, Mr. Hume, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Hunt .p ite with great energy in favour of the Committee. The anxiety of the people about the Reform Bill is evident in the zeal with which many of the livery of London are seeking the re-election of the present Lord Mayor, in preference to the next alderman in rotation, whose attachment to the bill has been questioned. The friends of reform, and the friends of corporate usage, are therefore at issue, and a memorable contest is threatened. ROYAL liX C ANDS, O'CLOCK.

An investiture of the Order of the Bath tonic place at the levee, on which occasion the Knights and Knight Commanders received their respective badges. The following resolutions were passed in various parts in Jamaica, and a general Congress from the West India Islands was proposed, to consider the grievances complained of, and the feasibility of separating from the Mother Country if they were not removed :—Resolved, " That his Excellency the Earl of Belmore be solicited to call an early meeting of the House of Assembly, in order that a deputation of the same may lay a statement of our grievances at the foot of the throne, humbly to pray if our Sovereign and the British nation consider us unworthy of the protection of our just rights, equally with all his Majesty's subjects, we may be allowed to seek that protection from another nation, which is so unjustly and cruelly withheld from us by our own."

[Joni Adolphus Fitzclarence arrived at the Castle last ere:ling to dinner. This morning Earl Brownlow and Lord Brougham left for London. CITY OF LONDON REFORM PETITION'S. At a Special Court of Common Council held yesterday, it having been resolved that the Lord Mayor, attended by s.tch members of the Court as chose to do is s. should forth with wait upon Lord Brougham, and request his Lotdship to present the petition of the Common Council, praying their Lordships not to reject the Reform Bill, the Lord Mayor announced to the Court that the state barge was in attend ance to convey them to Westminster fur that porpoise. A deputation of 24. appointed to present the petition passed in the Common Hall on the seine 'whites, being also in attendance, were invited by the Lord Mayor to join the other lardy for a similar purpose. About 120 gentlemen proceeded up the water to West.. minter, with colours flying, and amid considerable cheering from the people. A salute was fired on their arrival off Westniinster-bridge, and on landing they walked in pro coition, headed by the Lord Mayor, to the Painted Chamber, where they were received by the Lord Chancellor, to whom the Lord Mayor thus addressed himself:— " My Lord,—We wait on your Lordship to request that you will have the kindness to present to the House of Lords this petition of the Common Council of the city of Lonihar in favour of the Reform Bill now before that honourable house. We are aware that we are deviatiog from the usual course in enlarge an attendance upon your lord hip. hut we beg you will attribute it to its true calm, namely, the great zeal felt In favour of that bill. A feeling that we live in no ordinary times, and that it is necessary, in no ordinary manner, to give a public expr esstor t o our sent i ments, h as inducedl spontaneously the full attendance of the members of the court now before your lordship. We beg t o pl ace t hi s petition in your lordship's hands, not doubting the must aeslous exertions on the part of your lordship to support its prayer and assuring you of our firm conviction that the peace, safety of the public credit of the country will be placed at hazard unkss this bill be passed into a law." The Lord Mayor then also placed in the hands of the Lord Chancellor the petition paused at the Common H explaining, that, in purport and object, it was the same es the petition of the Common Council t and Lord Brougham receiving them both, addressed the Lord Mayor and the de . potations, assuring them that he accepted with pleasure the office of presenting the petitions, and would support the prayer of them by every means in his power. The Lord Chancellor, then bowing round to the assembly, withdrew, and the Lord Mayor and the two deputations re. turned by water in the same order in which they went. The whole it excited considerable attention, and attracted a great number of persons to the bridges and the banks of the river. Their Maje.ties have invited a select and dis tinguished party to meet them to-morrow at Blaek water, on which occasion they purpose visiting the Royal Military College.
