T II E EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, APRIL 11. In our prospective of foreign affairs, it has seldom been our lot to present a series of circumstances of deeper gene ral interest, than those of this day. This day despatches were received at the Foreign-Office, from Lord Viscount GaANVILLE, our Ambassador at Paris; from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassador at the Hague; and from Lord PONSONST, at Brussels. This day also despatches were received at the Colonial Office, from Lieutenant-General Sir EDWARD BARNES, Governor of Ceylon, dated the 25th of November ; from Lieutenant-General Sir C. COLVILLE, Governor of the Mauritius, dated the 24th of December; and from Lieute nant-General the Honourable Sir G. L. COLE, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, dated the 22d of January. . Lord Viscount PALMERSTON arrived in town from Brighton yesterday evening, too late to attend the Cabinet Council, which had broke up at an earlier hour. This afternoon bis Lordship was busily engaged at the Foreign Office, in a conference on the affairs of Belgium, with the representatives of the five Continental powers. - e. ~ ~aw DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY THE POLES. Just as we were going to Press, we have received the following truly glorious account of another Polish Victory : WassAw, April I.—The Polish Courier contains *repot, dated yesterday, addressed by the Commander.in-Chief, Gen. Skrsynecki, to the National Government, according to which his advanced guard yes terday attacked Gen. Geismar's corps, which occupied a strong posidon near Wawr. After a two hour's struggle, the corps was beaten back, and closely pursued on the road to Minsk. Every effort of the enemy was baMed; and even Gen. Rosen's corps, sta tioned at Denibe Wielaki, were unable to restrain the Polish troops; who, at the end of the battle, occupied the frontiers of the enemy. Ac cording to the further accounts of this report, the loss of the Russians amounted to several thousand men ; ours is only between 4 and 600, owing to the attack having been unexpected. According to the latest intelligence, the Polish head-quarters are at Minsk. General Lubinski is at Zawody. _ _ _ Barium, tith April.—Prons a Latter.—Letter from Warsaw have been 'mired here, by express, which contain the details of the very serious tic's which the corps of Gen. Geismar has sustained by an attack from the Poles, under Skrsynecki, executed with equal boldness and success, on the 31st March and lit April. The Polish Commander-in-Chief was informed of the negligence of the Russians at We're and Grochow, in their cantonments and camp. He led a corps of 25,000 men, on the 30th ult. to Prop, and on the night of March 31, approached the Russian amp: the road was covered with straw, so that the artillery and cavalry advanced without• being perceived, to which the darkness of the night did not a little contribute. The advance guard of General Geismar, consisting of eight or ten thousand men, was first attacked, and almost wholly destroyed. The Poles took 4,000 prisoners, and sixteen pieces of cannon : the latter, ornamented with green bought, were brought into Warsaw. Sknyneeki followed up his •ictory, •and fell upon the corps of General Rosen, who with twenty thousand men, was posted at Dembi-Wielki. He, too, was obliged •to surrender to the impetuous attack of the l'oks, and lost 2,000 prisoners, and nine pieces of cannon. The Russians retired by way of Minsk, to join the main body of the army. Some of their fugitives fled to Siedlec, whither they were pursued by the Cracowites. Sknyneckl had, on the Ist of April, his head quarters at Minsk, where, however', he will hardly be able to maintain himself, as soon as Diesbitsch, with his whole force, advances against him. The moral impres. sion which this victory, by which at least 20,000 Russians are put hors de tenant, will make. especially in the provinces in the rear of the army, is incalculable ; for their fanatic priests, as formerly in Spain and Tyrol, excite the pea sants to insurrection, and these savage hordes increase to such threatening masses, that the Russians, civil officers, and frontier posts are obliged to dike refuge in the Prussian territory.—Haralairg Corres pondent of April 9. The last advices from Warsaw stated, that the city was protected only by the chic guard. What had become of the army was concealed ; but it now appears that the Com mander-in-Chief, having ascertained that the Russians had assembled on the Vistula, with a design to cross the river, advanced with the Polish army, attacked their positions, killed 2000, and captured six or 7000 more, besides taking twenty-five or twenty six pieces of cannon. This intelligence reached Paris by telegraph, and was communicated by SEBASTIAN I to the Deputies in the Chamber. It is also said that the Russians are in general retreat ; and it is confirmed by various advice., that Lithuania is in general insurrection ; and its capital, Wilna, in posses sion of the Polish patriots. BELOW WAR WITH HOLLAND. The Belgians seem to be actuated ip by one soul, in their abhorrence of the House of ()Rano'. Its partisans have been victorious over popular resentment through every pro vince; and we have to-day accounts of this anti-Orange spirit at Ypres, Namur, Dinant, and Ghent. This last conspleacy of the Orangists, and the announcement that France insi diously concurs in the protocol, which sanctions the separa tion of the fine and extensive province of Luxembsigh from the rest of Belgium, have decided the Belgians, at ill ha zards, to announce inevitable war against the Bing of Holland. In the meantime, the aimed intervention of Prussia, seem more than doubtful ; add i war of popular rights oi one side, and of s sucklt wiriest oa the other, is about to CONNISIMI. The bal.. faith 01 — ilas French , Olt •.41. ~F~ Court is openly denounced by M. Roammx, in the Belgic Congress, and be invoked the French people t o ma k e can non cause with the Belgian people. It is obvious, there fore, a popular war against the diplomacy, and armies of the old courts, is about to commence in Belgium. The following was the language of M. RoasuLx The " French Government abandons the cause of the people; "it renounces its noble origin. Let us make use "of all our resources; let as call on the army, the " volunteers, the first band of the civic guard; and, if ne " imagery, the whole nation will rise en .slue.—(Bravo in, " the galleries.) The time is past to put us under the yoke. " Do you know what will happen if the Government of " Louis PHILIPPI continues? It will lead us to a second " Revolution ; and, unhappily, those who have betrayed the " present Revolution, will bring back the disasters of 93, " which we all abhor. Ministers of Belgium, you have " our fate in your bands! We are ready for every sacri " floe Our Readers will regret to find, that what appears to be the latest accounts from Italy, represent that the Austrians have been completely victorious; and that the struggle of the Patriots is at an end. Ancona is said to be in possession of the Austrians, and the Insurgent Army all surrendered or fled. Even so completely vanquished does the account represent the Patriots to be, that it is stated, that General Zuccur, and the other Insurrectionary Leaders, had taken flight in a ship from Italy. Perhaps we have hardly any grounds to doubt the cap ture of Ancona ; but some other passages which weiobserve in the French papers, are, we consider, of a character a little l irreconcileable, with so complete a destruction of the Italian army ; and if we be supported in our suspicion, of one peso of the present. intelligence, may we not doubt the correctness of the whole ? Our readers will perceive, It all events, with much interest, an account of a battle fought before Cattolica, in which the Patriotic Italians appear to have fought like -- what shall we say , — like Polu ; or their own predecessors so famed in history. If it be true, that on the 27th, the Austrians absolutely received a check so signal—if it be true that they retreated—is it probable, that on the 29th, the Italians were so completely routedood without, it would appear from the Austrian account;, my fighting whatever ? The paesage, we allude to, is the letter from Milan, given in Le Ifessfiger des Chastsbra ; and re ported, with alight , variation, in Le Coustitutitnusel. We have another history of the transaction, anterior to the asserted capture of Ancona ; which is rather minute, and, in some degree, corroborative of the Milan letters but which excludes any mention whatever, of the battle before Catto lice. We are then, either driven to the necessity of con sidering the battle as entirely a fiction, or of conjecturing, that it war a victory, and therefore passed over sub sitentio. The passage is— " 11'111 IIIONTIXIS, MAI= followthg ate new details of the events which preceded the tildng of Ancona mesequeose of the Akira of Modem, the Austrian troops coadmed their march alceg the sides ot the Added..

May we be allowed from such discrepancies, to indulge in hopes, that the insurgents are not so completely defeated as is represented in the Austrian accounts? One palpable absur-, dity is observable, in the supposed latest paragraph ; fbr General ZUCCHI could not have embarked on the 20th, sod headed his army on the 27th. We subjoin copious extracts from the Prussian, Polish, and Dutch papers, received this afternoon, in which will be found, various passages confirming the intelligence already mentioned of a rising in Lithuania; and of several great victories achieved by the Poles. __ WARSAW, Blanca 90.

In Canton papers to the sth December, we find it stated, on the arrival of the Ann and Amelia Company's ship, on the 23d November, it was announced that she was the bearer of orders from the Court of Directors, for the retire ment from office of the President, and two senior members of the Select Committee. New York papers to the let ult. are received, by the Loa don line of packet ship, Hannibal, Captain Hebbard ; but they do not convey any news of importance. Mails have likewise arrived here from Rio Janeiro and Buenos Ayres. It would appear by the private letter from the Agent to the North and South American Coffee-house, stilts latter place, that the provinces are far from being in a settled ebb ; lad commerce had been suffering greedy in ceesequenos. Our limits do not admit of our entering into the den& before no this day ; but we will probably revert to them, ea another occasion. r The Reform Meeting of the county of Warwick, on Mon day last, was one of the most imposing that has taken place. It consisted of upwards of 15,000 persons, 5000 of whom came from Birmingham, 2000 of whom were mem bers of the Union, who arrived in procession, and Were joined by the Unions of Coventry and Warwick. The chief gentry of the county were present, as well as the most con siderable merchants and manufacturers from Birmingham, &c. &c. Among the former were the Lords HOOD and DORMER, the Baronets SKIPWITH, CHETWYND, and PHILLIPS, and Mean. CANNING, LAWLEY, WEST, GIIZOOMT, CLIFFORD, KNIGHT, Tomas, DUGDALZ, &C. Prom Birmingham, there were Messrs. ATTWOOD, SCHOLETIELD, GALTON, EDMUNDS, &C. &C. besides hun dreds of respectable residents. The speakers were Mr. GALTON, Mr. PARKES, Mr. ATTWOOD, Mr. EDMUNDS, Mr. LAW LET, and Mr. DUODALE, the last of whom, after some hesitation, pledged himself to support the bill. Much resentment was felt at the insidious character of a political sermon, preached on the previous day at Warwick ; but it had no other effect than to produce a general feeling of contempt, for the abuse of a sacred office. • Further particulars we are obliged to postpone for our Panorama to-morrow ; and we are sorry that no Warwick shire Paper was transmitted earlier, and that the neglect has prevented an earlier account being given to the public of a day so glorious and so memorable in every respect. While we extend our charities to the Irish, our sympathies to the Blacks, and our patriotic sentiments to the Poles, Bel gians, and Italians, it behoves us not to transport all our feelings abroad, and forget our homes and our brethren of the British family. If the tumults in the agricultural dis tricts were put down by force of law, and exhausted them selves by destroying the obnoxious causes, we must not for get that no positive act of legislation has yet relieved the malcontents ; and if the petitioners who complained of poi pant distress in every branch of industry in 1829 and 1830, have converted their petitions into demands far reform, and allowed their attention to be diverted, we must not forget that by a Parliamentary metaphor their numerous petitions still lie on the table unanswered. The unpopularity of WEL LINGTON was created as much by denying the existence of distress, as by denying that reform was necessary ; and if politicians forget this, or wish to have it forgotten, the suf fering people have long memories, and hourly causes to re member. We are in truth led to make these observations, by complaints, from the thirty-two points of the compass, of the miserable and ruinous state of all trade, wholesale, retail, manufacturing, mercantile, shopkeeping, and handicraft. If there are transactions there is no profit ; and if a possibility of profit, no transactions. Again, there is neither credit nor currency for enterprize : the panic destroyed the first in De cember 1825, and the Ministry of the day, with self-com placent ignorance, destroyed the other. The panic paralyzed the energies of the country, the Ministry completed the de struction of what the panic began, and Peel's Bill was the coup de grace 1 Now all this wrong must be set right, false steps must be retraced, and wiser Ministers and a Parlia ment instructed by the evidence of facts, must grapple with this subject, and QUICKLY-if we are to be a great commer cial people, and if we are to continue to pay twangy times the taxes collected at the Revolution. It is a subject not to be evaded ; and the reasonable demands of the people have been baffled too long. The landed and commercial interests equally cry aloud ; and none are at their ease except fund holders, placemen, lawyers, and pensioners—classes who, at the same time, are not positively benefitted by the dil -1 tresses of the rest of the community. -- FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.-EICLUSIVE. FOR THE STAR. SATURDAY EVIZING. TO THE EDITOR. Slß—Just after I had sent off my packet on Wednesday, I learnt the intelligence of the taking of Ancona, by the Austrians ; and regret that I had not the news sufficiently early to communicate to you. I, however, had a friend, Baron Wasner, who left Paris Wednesday evening; and I embraced that opportunity of forwarding a few lines to you, stating the particulars ; and likewise the melancholy tidings of the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, eldest son of the Count de Saint Len ; his death was occasioned by measles. The news from Poland continues, as you will see, to be of the most cheering description ; and it is now believed that some negociation will be set on foot, to put a stop to any further effusion of blood. From the perplexed condition of Russia, particularly after this second defeat, and the ru moured internal commotion, she will doubtless willingly listen to mediation ; and the Poles will obtain that indepen dence, for which they have been so prodigal of their lives. There is still much mystery respecting the Courier who lately arrived at the Russian Embassy ; but it is broadly asserted, that there is a general insurrection in Lithuania; and the hurried retreat of the Russian army, upon all points, confirms the report. Should the alleged insurrection have taken place in Wilna—of which there is every likelihood—it will give a lively impulse to Russian Poland. No doubt, the youth of that capital will act with energy; and promptly follow the enthusiastic example of the brave men, who, in the month of November, broke the sceptre of Russia in Warsaw. The proclamation of Jermoloff, in the Cosatitettionnel, chews that the Emperor Nicholas may, some day, soon have his hands full at home. Turkey, too, is said to be actively preparing, and anxiously watching to take advantage of the embarrass ments of Russia. General Excelmans, who was said to be in Poland, is still in Paris. The funds have risen rapidly. I hinted to you in my last, that this was likely to be the case ; and them is now every prospect of their continuing firm. The Ministry is still confident of being able to • maintain peace ; and yet they I impose fresh taxes ; contract loans ; have extraordinary credits ; and call out the young soldiers from all quarters+ and all this, three wreeks before the time originally intended. Great confidence is entertained by Government, that the answer from Austria will be favourable to the wishes of the diplomatic corps; but from the Austrian proceedings in Italy, this does not seem very probable --s few days will set all at rest.
