LONDON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 14. We have, just as our Paper is going to press, received in formation, from a quarter to which we are inclined to give Credit, that a Las taken place in Belgium. We are informed that it is in favour of Republicanism, and has arisen from the long and harassing period of delay, lost in fruitless and perplexing negociations, which has inter vened since the first insurrection at Brussels. It must be remembered, that the whole manufacturing population have been thrown idle. The arrival of an express from Paris hu again poured in upon us a mass of Continental intelligence, some of which is of great importance ; and much of which, we must again beg our readers to observe, by comparison with other papers of the day—if they doubt the fact—is exclusive to the co lumns of the STAR,. By far the most important article of intelligence brought to us by the Express of to-day, is an account from Warsaw, that an insurrection had actually occurred at Wilna ; which, it may be considered, in this interesting conflict, the present military head-quarters of the retired Russian Government. • The details of this, probably influential event, have not yet reached us, from those sources which we deem indubitable, and at this boar we have no arrivals from other parts of the Continent ; but the ac count which we have before us states, that three thou sand Russians bad perished in the first encounter. — It is, however, likewise farther stated, what we sincerely regret, ;that the above city was afterwards retaken by the Russians. It may be concluded, should . tha main fea tures of this news prove correct, that the Lithuanian troops have wholly, or in part, joined the Polish standard. Should such a striking defection have really occurred, it is not probable that any submquentsuccess. in the re-occupation of Wane, can be considered as entirely destroying the general character of the intelligence, which must make it a sub ject of congratulation among all the friends—not only of libertp ! -but of justice, in the world. If insurrec tion hes appeared , at :.Vilna —if the gangrene has begun to show itself already so far up the limb —it is evident it will require most skilful physicians, and a most speolly and rapid application of medicaments, to prevent its ultimatsly reaching oven parts more vital. We h ave great hopes in thrums of Poland proving ultimately tr ii m pbsot. The semen of the year is propitious for the galling of time ; and that of itself will work wonders, which not all the powers of despotism can withstand. The arrangements of 00 famous Cowen of Vienna in 1814-15, afford mother lesson in regard to the fallabdity of all human calculations. It sojoiited dltepressetatives of the Powers of Europe. to cut and eirviiilollll, so pa to sfisy• u ith the interests and smbitioaot chlof !W NW's. AB' these fine-spun arrangements, la which the COMM seas anti predilections of mankind were little consulted, seem likely, however, to become abortive, even in the life-time of the actors in that notable drama. France has emancipated barmen from the chains then forged for her ; Belgium has broken the yoke which united her to Holland ; and last, mil least, Poland has ventured to assert her independent's, though encircled by ber robbers, and apparently heanstiselly sealed by their military hordes. Will the Venetian,Ragemen, said Genoese Republics be able to rescue themselves from thi spell of this Royal Congress ?—will Spain recover her Cortes ?—and will Portugal enjoy the free constitution vir tually guaranteed by England ? For France we have nn fear, and we have no objections to see more republican in-' Window; incorporated with her Monarchy, if consistent wit h l her security and tranquillity ;—for Belgium we have no fear, and we honour the diplomacy, which secured so fine a coon-' try from the ravages of war ;—and for Poland we have little to fear, if the Poles are true to themselves, and if in the field, they justify the reputation of three centuries. The fate of Venice, Genoa, Lombardy, Spain, and Portugal, we shall be able to develope with more certainty within the next three years. Nor do we lose sight of the outrages perpe trated on the two honest Kings of Saxony and Denmark ; and I in their case, as in others, we hope that public justice will I ultimately triumph over the bayonet. The radical error which has pervaded, and still pervades, I all the old governments of Europe, is, that Prime—origin- 1 1 ally military chiefs whose rights were based on night divided, and subdivided, geographical admeasurements of land, without reference to the people which were therein contained. They spoke of ruling countries—they spoke of owning countries—they spoke of gaining and ceding countries —and they not only so spoke, but have uniformly so Wed ; and it requires no oracle to predict, that IM revolutionary spirit of the present times, will not cease in its contagious activity, until governments boldly, in tho front of all their manifestoes and proclamations, ibelare themselves as acting only by and • for the people, in the countries they govern. Men are no longer sheep, to be transferred by the pen they happen to have been fated to stand in. CITY. ONE O'CLOCK.

The Russian Government bas caused to be arrested and retained as prisoners, all the Poles who have quitted France with the pm:ports of our Government; it is an act which cute the question of nos-intervention in the Polish affair, and shows clearly the character which Russia proposes to play in the bloody drama, which is preparing; if we are not de ceived, this acts against the glory of France ; the republic or Napoleon would take it for a declaration of war. What thinks M. Sebastiani I—La Revolution. POLISH COMMITTEE.-A central committee in favour of the Poles has been formed at Paris, under the presidence of General Lafayette. We cite among the members of the committee MM. General Lamarque, Count de Lasteyrie, Dutr6ne, Jullien, &c. M. Casein, formerly agent to the Greek committee, fulfils the same functions so the Polish committee. The formation of a Greek committee, the seal and activity of all its members, their ardour to stimulate the apathy of the Governments, conduced to save Greece from inevitable ruin. The cause of the Poles is not less just; without doubt they will find in Prance no less warm de fenders.—Le Glebe. The Polish Deputies arrived at St. Petersburgh on the 21st of September ; but the Emperor Nicholas refused to receive them in quality of Deputies. Nevertheless no in vitation op to the present has been made to them to quit the capital. It is believed at St. Petersburgii, that the Russian army will not be entirely ready to enter in cam ' paign till towards the end of the month of January. In the sitting of the Diet of Warsaw, it has been a ques tion, to have a manifesto which, in the name of the Polish nation, shall be addressed to the Powers of Europe ; but at last it was decided, that this manifesto should not be pub lished till after the Emperor Nicholas shall have positively declared war against Poland, and that his armies shall have committed the first acts of hostilities. In general, at this moment, at Warsaw, they avoid every thing that may still more irritate the Emperor, as well as his brother, the Grand Duke Constantine.—Le National. ON TOO DICLARATION or Russia.-- , We yesterday showed truly the revolution of Poland and its spirit : to-day the Manifesto of Russia has arrived, and we must show, in its tnrn, in its veritable state, not the situaden of that Em pire, but the dispositions of the unique will which governs it. The result of this official piece shows that Russia is as absolute in its pretensions as Poland is in her rights. Gus tavus Malachewski said in the Chamber of dee Nuncia : " Our tyrants have violated 164 articles of ow Coastitadea ; we have violated but one, but that for ever." This language raised a great barrier between the two countries ; the Ma nifesto of the Emparer Nicholas, has severed for ever Rus sia and Poland. In 1794, the Russian ad Su varrow entered Warsaw, which nine thousand brave Poles defended unto 'death. The houses were pillaged, the women outraged, the children murdered; thirty thousand victims fell a prel to the vengeance and ferocity of the Russian Wilier' ; and all that took place after a procla mation of Catherine, which promised to the Poles clemency and oblivion. There are in the manifesto of Nicholas, the word of clemency, which makes one shudder, when one dreams of the epochs, and manifesto of his grandmother: these phrases of royalty, behind which we have al ways ass 550616 raised, Poland will comprehend without doubt, and "wed herself, as she ought, from such terrible kindness. One thing strikes us especially in this piece, that it is not lees a question of the wait than of Europe. It appears that this great giant of the North, lives and rules alone apes that hemisphere. The administration of the Ceserowitch, as be is called, herb, masprembed the tranquillity of the north, the autocrat deigns setts sulky other interests than his own : Prussia, Austria, see their possessions threatened by the Polish revolution ; never mind, the Emperor has not leisure to coast& either Prussia or Austria ; still less France and Ragland, who have nothing, without doubt, to see is this affair of which the . Emperor makes himself the regulator and sovereignjedy. It is for Europe, for France and England especially, to rd act whether it is boom* to support much 'lnger thelaviikty supremacy of his begumge : tonse whether the fete of mom is not compromised by the expansion est of all of that state, which extends at this day from get atka to California, awl the prissi of whose rad despotism, Mr. Broughams ,basdesignated as the detestable Oriental polities. We shall return to the masiffiste, and add emstker word. The Poles are rebels like the Belgians. The attitude of Nicholas is not less saseacbg for the public peace than that of William ; and the esssequisees of his conduct are infinitely more dan gerous. The Dutch, in retaking Belgium, would give some uneasiness to France, and at a day not far distant, possibly to Prussia; Russia penetrating into Poland, with out any of the powers dazing to oppose it, commences pro bably the subjection of the world.—Le Temps. The proclamation of the Emperor of Russia. dated Dec. 25tb, is little more than a paraphrase of that of the 20th, but it has more gravity, because it proves that the Russian Cabinet, at the moment it was sent forth, bad an exact know ledge of the state of things in Poland. In reading the threats and injunctions contained in the first, one would be lieve in fact that the Russian Cabinet saw in the Polish re volution only the ebullition of enraged scholars ; bat at this moment it knows of the establishment of the Dictator, the general insurrection of the kingdom of Poland I never mind, hi only less in an exasperated people, revolted slaves, who risme either posies* themeolves or die. Net a ward spas the grids of this unfortunate people, apes the cenotlentisa se mandalessly violated—upon the rights el that emiadtneien granted to Poland, and which has ben meow* obaded—npon Europe, who cannot behold with indlihreste a quarrel out of which may arise a ge neral war. The rage of the Autocrat may be known by his language—his threats,. and, in the end, by his vengeance. - The summary of both his proclamations is in this phrase —" Impose conditions on me, their legitimate Prince I" This is every where the cry of dempotism, when it would struggle against the wishes of the people.

BRIMILII, JAN. 9.—Extract of a prints letter.— " Bean tulles have beat set oa foot to pia the Natioaal Ceagreas is favour of Prises Otho of Bavaria, the Caaii date of the Ditiousey, the Coegress appear to be averse to Wein bin to the throne of Belgium : Ist, became that his 111101011 will aseesmuily cause a Regency lea* his W ood : 2d, whusatios formed upon a threes to maim good ; 3d, ale always weak ; 4th, est bosateabmise would be vary great, fee Belgiumwhlt 'the revolution has given birth to, imperiously &we a Catar f e i v rappectsd (this oboe basses then to reject a ) ; sth, it would pekoes fee eight years a sad and pea visionary Government, of which all the world complai ns . Unfortunate child I called to the throne of Belgium,he would with difficulty attain his majority as King without hie throne being overturned. On the other side, convinced that Louis Philippe, by his love for peace, does sot desire our reunion with France ; and that, by love for his son, he does not desire our acceptance of this son, yet a child—a task which he himself, a man o f experience, finds already not very easy, the French party. dm most numerous and strong of any, have for some days tumid their eyes too ands the young Augustus Beaubarnois, Duke of lauchtenberg, brother of the Empress of Brasil. Of a convenient age, glorious remembrances, liberal French education, talents of mind, beauty of person, personal riches, commercial alliances with Brasil, sympathy with France —in him is comprised every thing. Last night a great number of deputies pronounced for him in the sections. In certain sections he obtained thirteen votes out of fifteen. His portrait circulates from hand to hand, and nothing is demanded or dreamed of so much as he is at this moment. This night there will be a private assem bly of the members of the Congress, the object of which will be to send deputies to the young, Duke of Leuchten berg. Be has many chances of being called to the throne of Belgium, and every instant tends to augment them ; be cause it is believed that the powers represented at the foreign office at London could not agree amongst themselves to give us a Prince of any House of theirs, without destroying the principle of non-intervention by excluding the Princes of other Houses. To augment still more the chances of young Beauharnais, they speak of his marriage with one of the French Princesses.—Le Coutitutiowl. The courtesy of our men of State does not wholly pass unnoticed under our eyes ; the greatest number are care fully brooding under the Diplomatic Montagu, and it is a great chance if, by one or another, something be not hatched. The unlucky publicity which the Belgian Con roe' has given this day to some words of M. Sebastiani. forms a glorious corollary to thb diplomatic reputation of • the honourable General. It is well for us to know that France refuses to acknowledge Belgium, if she constitutes a Republic. For what cause? M. Se , bambini says nothing; we must Weirs then that it is because Belgium is either too large or too small, or that it Is a country too flat and marshy. One thing alone is certain ; it is that M. Sebastiani will not acknowledge it. Belgium is not uneasy for all this, and smiles at the false philosophy, as well as the silliness of the general's mission. France puts no constraint upon neighb ouring states, she in terferes not in their interior affairs. us Belgium is entirely at liberty to organise herself as seemeth good to her, and to take a king Cif she will,) or what she judges convenient. He having only made the four following conditions :—lst. She is not to Unite herself with France ; 2d, She is not to choose a French Prince ; 3d, She is not to choose a Native Prince ; 4th, She is not to form herself into a republic.— Oh l what a fine thing is non-intervention, with diplomacy and M. Sebastiani.—La Revolution. The Belgian Journals confirm what we said yesterday upon the state of Belgium. Contrary opinions and disunion of minds, have manifested themselves this day by cutting differences and by energetic dissentious. Each day and every new fact gives proof of weakness, of discord, and the incoherence of all that has been done, and of all that will be done. We are reproached with viewing thus the Belgian revolution ; and of 'hewing it as the work of a Catholic party ; others say we have been wanting in gene rosity towards a brave people ; and a journal (1 Avessii ) ac mess us with being the old liberals of the sebool of Voltaire, without tolerance, without the enlivening principles of civi lisation, repulsing the emancipation of Ireland and the li berty of Belgium. We cannot conceive bow our words can be taken in that canoe, or when we have done any thing that shows such a tendency in our politic.—Le Tamps. SWITZSKLAND. Our private correspondent from Switseriand informed us yesterday that the city of Basil was blockaded by the population from the country, and that the citizens, who expected an attack in the day of the 17th, had sent, on the eve, a proclamation, from which they hoped a happy result. The following are some passages from that procla mation : " Bain, Jan. 6, 1831.—Dear Countryman—Listen to our voice I listen, for the love of our dear country I What do you demand from the Government ? A Grand Council, named by the people ' conformable to the principle of the popular sovereignty ? But does Rot the Grand Council ac knowledge the principle in all its extent? A proof that it does, is that it is occupied with the new constitution which you demand ; and when that constitution shall have been sanctioned by the country, the Grand Council will itself compose all the popular elements which you desire, and all you may desire. But what do you wish this day 2--- Does. not the project of the new Constitution answer all wishes ? Does not Article Ist proclaim the so vereignty of the people ? Does not the primary assembly give to you much finer rights than those which you oared the Grand Council? Would you have recourse to violence to succeed in your demands ? But, as burgesses oldie city, we are opposed to that violence. For when union reigns amongst us, one party must not seek to rule the other. We respect your rights, but you must also respect ours. If you persist in your unreasonable demands we shall, with re • gret, be forced to separate, in future, our political des tinies. If you make hostile deetoestratires spurt us, if you decide to attack our city, to obtain by force the accomplishment of your wishes, it will prove to us a pro found f. But, if it is to be thus, we announce to you , that al lattack against our city will be regarded by us as a blow at public order, and as such we shall it by arms, and (*wider your proceeding as a prove to civil war. Ostia more we oilw you peace: if yen accept it, GOD be thanked ; if yes attack us, Gon will be judge between► us r The Lucerne Constituent continua its labours with zeal.
