The Estafette of this morning from Paris enables to pre sent our Readers with some extracts from the Paris Jour nals, containing information which, we have every rea son to believe, will be only found in this Paper.—The notices of a revolutionary tendency in Hanover—the extracts on the affairs of Belgium—the cheering accounts of patriotic unanimity in Poland—a farther notice of the patriotism of the Polish Jews—and the rumour of an engage ment favourable to the cause of liberty on the frontiers of Poland, between the Poles and Russians, in which a de fection of Lithuanian troops is again alluded to, are all points of information, to which we direct the attention of our readers. Our ambition is, to make the STAR as comprehensive and original, in its intelligence, as possible ; and we are confident, if justice be done to us, by a perusal of our Domestic Panorama, and the original Continental Panorama, which our columns almost daily exclusively supply, that the Readers of the STAR cannot be dissatisfied with our exertions; as they cannot fail to observe, that our columns afford more original matter than any Evening Paper now published in the metropolis. This day the Ambassadors of the Great Continental Powers had another conference, on the affairs of Belgium, at the Foreign Office, in Downing Street; where a Cabinet Council also assembled at four o'clock in the afternoon. - - - Besides the copious details of continental intelligence, given in this evening's paper, we have to notice that move ments are likely to take place in Spain, in a short time; and that corps of observation are forthwith to be established on the frontiers of Italy. General MINA. in some of the Paris papers, is stated to have had a fresh conference with his companions in arms, when he declared his intention of re entering Spain ; and he hoped he would continue there. The affairs of Portugal likewise a 118111129 a dismal appearance for Don MinuEL. A force of five hundred Portuguese has arrived at Terceira, from the Bratila, to be joined by four or five thousand more—their ultimate destination being the Mother Country. A rumour prevails this day in town, that Mtouzi. is dead. At a late hour this — " w-- afternoon, Le Temps Paris paper dated Wednesday, has been handed to us, which contains a letter fsom Berne, of the 12th inst. dated at night, to the fol lowing effect :—" To-day, our Government has •EDIC aTaD ; but it will remain provisionary,till the elections take place; and propositions submitted for the approbation of the people. This patriotic act, has satisfied the town and the country." With respeet to the defence of Bale, we have *dykes to the 15th instant, which speak thus :—" For these fifteen days past, we have been in a very critical condition—under arms day and night. Business is entirely at a stand ; and our whole occupation is in making sorties against the insurgents. One was made this day with eight pieces of cannon; but as yet, we know net the result." The affairs of Belgium have assumed an attitude most singularly complicated, and of which it is difficult to pre dict the future. The Five Combined Powers, from being amazingly pertinacious to avoid intervention, in the cow:cruel of other States, have, all et once, placed themselves in the po sition of jointly exhibiting measures of the most decided inter vention. It is said, that as they were mutually appointed ar biters, between Holland and Belgium, that if those twirl powers do not obey what may be their dictum, they, as arbiters, have a right jointly to fall upon the disobedient,l and enforce obedience by compulsion. Certainly, in the common affairs of life, such is not the authority assumed by, or admitted to, arbiters ; and we doubt whether such has ever been the practice in international arbitrations. Let us suppose, that either Great Britain. or America, were deter mined not to abide by the decision of the K No of the Nether lands, in the affairs of which he has lately been appointed umpire—could it be considered necessary for the honour of that King, or even maintained as justifiable, the, he should immediately declare war against Great Britain, or kinds' When the administration of•the Duke of Wellington TM. tared, on what might be termed, and was only represented to be, the intervention of amicable negotiations, many sagacious politicians. and some sow is power, shook their bowleg in very very sad liminess apprehension, that his amity might terminate in enmity or war, against some of the parties. Is it not then a little surprising to view his succes sor almost in the very quagmire of Continental politics, into which they appeared so apprehensive he might stumble; The fact is, that interferenee to adjust quarrels, it is well known, in common life, very insidiously extends the quar rels to the parties interfering; for which prudent men of the world are reluctant so to interfere ; and in the affairs of nations, non-intervention, to be safe, should be entire. The first step is the dangerous one in this, as in all con tingent events. Nor do we perceive, that even, on the principle of com pelling Peace, the measures now pursuing show much pru dence. It is very easy to say —Ol the five Powers united are all powerful ; and Belgium and Holland must succumb to their authority. But we would ask bow are they jointly to act? and how long, so acting, are they to keep in amity ? Should the temerity of Belgian patriotism put their compulsion to the test, it will only open the temple of Janus on another side, and involve all Europe in the war so much to be dreaded. _ _ We are of opinion that this country has committed itself in a hazardous course of policy, by joining to hold inviolable the treaty of the Holy Alliance; when it was so evident—every day becoming so palpable— that its arrangements were discor dant with the interests of the people, constituting really the States of Europe ; and that the era had at last arrived, when the interests of the people were at least not to be longer sacrificed, without the u/tinsa ratio populi coming into fair combat with the u/tima ratio reguns. With the conflict between Poland and Russia, in the prospective, and diffi cult questions likely to arise before the end of the year, has not the policy of this country been a little hazardous, of committing itself to principles, it will be diffi cult to maintain ? Just as we had written the last sentence, we have re ceived an account that the Dutch Government, and the Provisional Government of Belgium, had given their went to the Protocol of London. We have likewise heard that the affairs between Russia and Poland are likely to be adjusted, by negoeiation ; and that Russia is to give the Poles a Constitution, according to the Treaty of Vienna. We cannot vouch for the authenticity of these reports. My Lord A WOLLSItif and his Squire STANLEY seem dis posed, in right earnest, to ruu a tilt with all comers in the Irish Field ! We only wish, that in such enterprises, they may not compromise the Majesty and prowess of England. We repeat the declaration, that the Irish People ought to enjoy in TULL PLENTITUDE, the right of petitioning, even against the Peer and Squire themselves, if they judged proper; that the power of issuing proclamations against Societies, did not apply to petitioners, who, as such, must meet and associate ; and, therefore, without better evidence than has yet ap peared, there has been no such foundation for the late measures, as is likely to satisfy a grave and independent public. If the Union is the precious jewel to be guarded, mere petition• ing or declaiming, don't dissolve it—the petitioners must go to Parliament, and abide its award. As a preliminary question, we are deeply concerned at the irritating system so pertinaciously pursued. We are almost old enough to remember the commencement of the Ameri• cot war. The wituperadve epithets applied in the present day to Messrs. OTOYIRLL, SHILL, STEIL, *c. by poli tical parrots, vibrate, as early associations, with the names of FLAWILLIV, WASMINGTOW, PUTNAM, Hmccocic. ADAMS, &C. We have already expressed our opinion of average Eng lish feeling about the Union ; and we are confirmed in it by the daily study of the provincial Papers. The net revenue of Ireland is bat four and a half millions; and the interest of her debts are rather more than the same sums then we ex. pond other three millions on Irish objects, besides garrisons ► barracks, &c. des. counting two or three millions more. Now, an Irish Parliament would take all these expenses on itself ; consequently, the actual saving to this country would be Ave or six millions, per annum, by the repeal. For what sober object, then, are we quarrelling with Ire land ? Not even about the Union itself, but about petitions against it Is the real object the Protestant Tithes ? Is the real cane the piqued feelings of certain new statesmen ? Are we now advanced to the year 1831—a date following 1775, and 1793, for mistahes in which years, alas! we have TET TO PAT Those Reeder. who are accustomed to peruse the last page of the STAI, may be acquainted with the doings of the parties ; and the amount of bail proves that some legal construction of words and phrases, is the subject of prosecu tion. We are sorry, very sorry, such steps have been judged necesarraland further it does not behove us to remark. In our next page we have given the versions of the Dublin Papers. ---...... We recommend our Readers to peruse with attention the extracts from Mr. P. Mecuesau's very valuable tract on the Mato of the country, given in our first page; and likewise a report made public in 1817, by Mr. Ownr, in which that gentleman explained his views as to the causes of the dis tresses which then were beginning to affect the laboring classes. The Tunes refers to this report in their remarks on Mr. P. M'Quezn's pamphlet ; and, in justice to Mr. Owes, as well as from our conviction, that nothing is so interesting at the present moment as clear views of all opinions on the present distresses, we are induced to call our Readers, at tention to it. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. Console, which left off yesterday at 801 for the account, opened at 81 ; at present they are 81 to I, and for money 811. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. The Liverpool Paper recei►ed this morning, in a snood edition of the arrest of O'Connell, states that business was partially suspended at Dublin, and some of the streets ten dered impassable, being blocked up with carriages, and dense mamas of individuals, all eagerly inquiring the• amuse of O'Connell's arrest. The Marquis of Anglesey and Sir Wm. De Bath, were riding out in the city on horseback. The Cassel Market continues firm at 816 for the Account, and 811 to I for Mosey. We do not hear any further ac collate in the City from Ireland. 1,076 . 720 7.340 FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ZICLIIIIVIL PARIS. JANIIAILT IS. H ANOVER. Hanover, unto the present time very aristocratically go verned by the nobility of the country and by Count Mon ster, Minister from London, charged by the King of England with the affairs of this kingdom, has also com menced its revolution. It has not burst in the capital ; for the inhabitants of the city of Hanover are composed princi pally of the nobility and the high administration of the country, all strongly attached to the ancient order of things, but it is in the city of Gottingen, where the movement has commenced. That celebrated University has taken in some sort the initiative, in the name of the kingdom. Since George 111. the Kings of England have nearly entirely abandoned the government of Hanover to Count Munster and the nobility of the country, the most aristocratic and the most infatuated of all Germany. This kingdom, of which the population amounts at this day to fifteen hundred thou sand souls, occupies, in the north of Germany, one of the first places amongst the states of the Confederation of the Rhine. This revolution, which must exercise a great in fluence in Germany, will, in its end, constrain Prussia, who for a long time has coveted Hanover. In the sitting of the Chamber: p r o f: c rudes of the 15th of the month, General La fayette a to betinspired with a presentiment, and others were not wanting in an anticipated knowledge of this event. When, in speaking of the principle of non-intervention, Ge neral Lafayette said : " The hour advances which will not permit me to stir up an important question. But if we had an insurrection in the kingdom of Hanover, would not the Germanic Confederation regard as an act of foreign inter vention, the sending an English army into the country? Well, gentlemen, the Poles and the Russians, whohave also the same Monarch, are not they also foreigners, as much as the Hanoverian, and the English ?"—Le National. BELi. - 11Uhl. The Belgian Congress and the Diplomacy play at chess ; all the Kings are check-mated."—Figaro. We read yesterday, with astonishment, in a journal, a Proclamation, true or false, from the Prince of Orange to Belgium ;in which was nothing satisfactory. The senti ments expressed in it are not elevated or electric, and the style is on a level with the sentiments ; moreover, the Orangists have as little popularity with our neighbours as the Cellists have with us. For, to the contempt which the name of Nassau inspires, is joined the hatred as foreigners. That House then is for ever repulsed from the soil of Bel gium, and most certainly they well merit it. The possibility of the renewing hostilities renders still more necessary ►he loan, which M. de Celles is, it is said, charged to make. Already several English capitalists have presented themselves to fill it up, and we are assured that their propositions are far from being onerous. We can readily perceive, that Bel gium is perhaps the richest country in Europe, from its soil and its industry; and Belgium is not yet in debt. We are assured that the subscribing bankers offer conditions equally advantageous to a Regency as to a King. This is a chance more in favour of the first form of Government, for which we fear not to express our greatest sympathy. It is in fact that which will contribute the more to bring about the order of things for which our brothers appeal to us with all their wishes. And when we speak thus, we warn our rivals, and invite them, to be upon their guard. All the coalitions possible will not binder the " march of intellect," nor the events to which they give birth ; the force of events impels. The English Aristocracy have quite enough to debate and struggle with ; their debt and Ireland is the security for our future. —lt is said that the Prince of Orange is to return to the Hague, and that be will publish a proclamation to the Bel gians. On this subject, the provisionary Government have demanded of the French Ministry, a bether they will tolerate an invading army of the Dutch, with the Prince at its bead. The reply has been, it is said, that they will consider it as a violation of the system of non-intervention, and they should believe themselves authorised to repulse force by force. An attempt of the Nassau. would only be permitted to take place, in case of a Belgian movement. It would then be an affair of internal agitation. That is reason and energy.—Le Can stitictionnel. POLAND. Letters from Berlin of the 10th, speak of a regiment of the Lithuanian army which has gone over to the side of the Poles.—Messager des Chambres. We are assured that there have been already some en tirnts between the advanced guards of the Poles and sti le ne , which has been to the advantage of the Poles. The last having taken six pieces of cannon, and made 1,500 prisoners.—Le Globe. General Paskewitsch is spoken of to replace General Diebitach, who is still sick, in the chief command of the Russian army. Notwithstanding this General was born in Lithuania, and made his first campaigns under Kosciusko, during the war of Polish independence. So much the Em peror confided to his fidelity and bravery, when combating the Persians and Turks, that be has not shunned putting his patriotism to the proof by employing him to exterminate Poles, and to annihilate the liberty and independence of his country. The " Marseillaise" has been translated into Polish, and is sung in chorus by the workmen during their labour.—Le Constiturionnel. EITHUSIASM or THZ Poues.—The Gazette d'Augs burg contains the following letter dated Warsaw, Dec. 30. Sines the day the Russian proclamation was known in this city, we have remarked amongst all classes of the inhabit ants, an enthusiasm, which was never greater in the se vere combats of Poland for independence. This enthu siasm nearly justifies the hope which the Poles nourish for their enterprise, if the forces displayed by Russia were less formidable. The Dictator finds every where an obedience Without limits. Sixty-four thousand soldiers and fifty thou sand National Guards are on their march for the frontiers • they are re-inforced at each step by troops of peasants arme d with lances and pitchforks. The clergy animate them to combat. The preparations continue with ardour, and a bloody engagement is expected.—A Pole, named Theodore Sscraniecki, newly arrived front Paris, has inserted in the /demure de Warsaw, an article, which is full of the sym pathy which the revolution of Poland finds in France. The Jews of Poland have addressed to the National Cowbell a petition, in which they demand permission to fight like others against the Rumbas. This &nand has been accorded to them.—Gasette d'etat de Prune. _ _ _ BlnLrl, Jan. 1::111;inTel - aanatios of St. Petenthurgh of the 19th of Dec. has readered yet more ardent the seal of the Poles to arm themesives. Some Germans who arrived yesterday from Warsaw, say that 100.000 men of regular troops have left for the borders of the Bug; and that in the country. all those who have power to carry arms, run to the place of assembling. As for the rest, all is tranquil upon the frontiers, which is respected on all sides. Jour. des Debate. POLAND.—WAssAw, Jan. 6.—The cholera maims is constantly spoken of; happily it has not yet penetrated into Poked ; but it appears that it has shown itself in Ciallacin, sad there is no more doubt but it will do so is Vollsynia. In all these cases the Rumba army brine it to us; this it will soon leap into Germany. It becomes thus a Wont of Folks ier' for Europe. The Dist, during its short re-union, laid dews the basis of a manifesto of the Polish nation, which wee to be published in sees they recognised the impossibility of a pacific arrangement. This manifesto will appear, it is said, in two or three days ; its publication irrevocably remov ing all possibility of arrangement.—Joursa/ du Commerce. FRANCE. The Cour Royale has declared that it will sit on the 21st of January, the Tribunal of Commerce has declared that it will not sit, became the law upon that anniversary has not been revoked. Which of the two are right ?—Revolution. Advice to the Councillors again.. War.—" Those who remember the issue of the hundred days ; those who recal the affairs of Piedmont, Naples, and Spain, will not see without trembling the confidence of oar men of state. It is in vain that we wonld repair's these dismal images. Never - thetas' good hearts are always repugnant to suspicion, and we are willing to believe that the assurances of peace of MM. Sebastiani, Casimir Perrier, &c. are sincere ; at the same time we think that they dream of a social perfection which excludes from the soul of Kings all human passion, and which would make us believe that peace is desired by all these honest gentlemen. But we would have them take good care ; the affirmative tone upon this matter assumed by them, gives them a frightful responsibility. A declaration of war would cause against them an accusation of treason, of which all the good faith they could show would not efface the im pression."—La Revolution. Geslin, valet de chambre of the Duchess de Berry, from whom was read at the Tribune of the Chamber of Depu ties, a letter relative to the events of the month of De cember, was arrested last night at Paris. For a long time there has been a search for this individual, who escaped once before from the agents of police. Since that time he addressed several letters to the Quotidienne, in which be appeared in some measure, to brave the judicial authority. We are assured that there were seized upon him several incendiary proclamations addressed to the French people, of the departments of la Vendee, to the clergy, and the former Royal Guard. This individual was immediately placed at the disposal of the Procureur du Roi.—Le Con stitutionnel. There can be little difference of opinion upon the cha racter, more or less active, which France is invited to play in the events of Europe, upon the greater or less share which is granted her to redress her own grievances against the stipu lations of Vienna. The sitting of the day before yesterday showed to us in presence two systems ; and these two sys tems, presented and supported with rare talent, will do no less than apprise Europe of the single and great truth which wholly rules the question ; it is that France is de cided to cause the Revolution of July to be respected. This solemn announcement which descends occasionally from the National Tribune, has a salutary effect upon foreign governments ; because, if the discussion is made to partake of some divisions in principle upon secondary questions, it there reveals sufficiently a unanimity of courage and patriotism, to break down which, would require all the efforts of their malevolence. But why not measure the language by the dispositions already proved by various Cabinets in respect to us ?—Why the same bitterness of words towards the powers of whom the first movements was the cry to arms against France of 1830, towards those who with difficulty repressed their joy and sympathy for the triumph of our liberties ? Without doubt it is very brave to throw the glove to all Eu rope ; France has resisted several coalitions ; but when these coalitions no more exist, when they can no more exist, why in the gaiety of your heart create an imaginary phantom ? This is not national pride ;it is either more or less. For certain, England does not merit to be placed in the advansed posts of the Holy Alliance, as was represented by one of the eloquent orators who occupied the tribune in the sitting of the 15th of January. The cold politeness of the Duke of Wellington, for our revolution, hastened the fall of the Ca binet of which be was the chief. That did not announce a nation easily animated against the principle which triumphed in the events of Paris. The Duke of Wellington ceded his place to a ministry, which counts amongst its members the most ancient and constant defenders of liberty in Europe. Why, then, awaken suddenly and without mo tives of rivalry, the hatreds of a former age, each day more extinguished, each day more effaced by the progress of rea son and philosophy? Why these questions by the enemies of France ; why these hurrahs against England ; is it to strengthen her prejudices against France, or to prepossess France against her ? Is it not absolutely unjust to treat the England of Lord Grey like the England of Lord Castle reagh—the England of Reform as the England of Corrupt Boroughs ? Would it be well to speak of the France of Louis-Philippe as of the France of Charles X.? The mem bers of our former and courageous opposition can not haw forgotten that most of the actual Ministers of Great Britain have defended for twenty years the principles to which, by their efforts and eloquence they have devoted themselves. Can solidity have ceased with the struggle ! To speak truth, it would be haOy for both, if no form of language would retain such opinions amongst us. The reason pub lished is in justice to our natural enemies; at this day there are new signs for France, to discover who are her natural enemies.—Journal des Debats. the mamsemmeemmen We extract the following passages from the German Papers received this morning. The only remarkable fea ture contained in them, is the account of an interview be tween Conn's:4lllm and the Deputies from Lublin; in which the expelled Cesarowitch, after learning from the Deputies, that the Poles were determined to recover their usurped freedom, and defend their rights with the last drop of their blood, declared, that he would lay aside the uniform which he had worn for twenty-six years ; and that nn Russian would fight under his command against the Poles. It will be perceived, by these and other extracts in this sheet, that there is scarcely a little Palatinate or Duchy on the Continent, that is not in commotion, and making warlike preparations : SWITZERLAND, Jam. 7.
