ct.itri!mted to give to the unhappy Poles ? And We, Frenchmen, Patriots, is it sufficient to leave IJS only the power to cry: Treason ! Treason ! Ferolution. No detail has arrived of the disaster which has struck the Poles. If the fact reported by the Aloniteur is exact,—that is to say, if the Russians had fixed the 7th of September for a ge ttetal it must be necessary to suppose that the Polish army was no longer that day under the walls of Warsaw ; and then we may believe that which was announced the preceding days upon a mysterious expedition of -die Poles towards Lithuania. They contemplate :a that case some grand project. which will ere tong probably be developed. Left to itself, and with too feeble a garrison, Warsaw combatted until the morrow, and fell only when the Russians were scaling the walls upon heaps of slain. We do not lose all hope. If the Polish army, or its Hite. is in tact, it will do great things ; and in case of ultimate defeat, it will have all the glory aril leave the shame to its barbarous conquerors.— Le Temps. It remains to be known whether the conquerors .)f aw, intoxicated with their triumph, and ;tieing us without mlies, will not be tempted to come and chastise our pretended revolt, drive away an usurper, and restore for the third time the elder branch of the Bourbons. A government which had the sentiment of dignity, of the value and d dogers of France,would row endeavour to awaken that enthusiasm of the nation, which can alone accomplish miracles, and preserve us from the attacks of foreigners, and from the enterprise of the Carlists ; but our Government will preserve to de end its system of feebleness and fear, ima gining, to turn away the wrath of absolute Kings, it is best to prove to them that we are less friends of liberty than they suppose, and that far from b e ing disposed to carry it beyond our frontiers, we make every effort to stifle it within.—La Tribune. A German Gazette states, that the 'corks saw v.ith a barbarous joy the conflagration of the Eu ropean magazines at Pera, without rendering ,Is-istance, and kept exclaiming, " See how we avenge Nararin." They regard the European munterce in the Levant as destroyed for a long time by that disaster. It is insinuated that it was w avenge the reforms of the Sultan that Pera was set on tire. Greece is also regarded as in a very critical state, and that an appeal will be made to the conference of the Powers to arrange definitely the affairs of Greece ; but the Powers have at this moment more pressing affairs upon their hands.— Le Temps. Whatever has been said upon the pretended dis arming of Piedmont, there are still 8,000 Sardinian troops in the single province of Savoy ; the artil lery is concentrated at Montmellian ; all the cavalry is at Chambery.—Constitutionnel.

" It is stated that the ministry has concealed a part of the news which it has received from War saw. The combat has been dreadful : the musa.- ere frightful : the Russians have sustained a loss equal to that of Moscow ; a part of the Polish army sad of the armed population cut their way through sword in band."—Courrier Francais. M. Rebigiani, an Italian priest,2B years of age, has bee obliged to quit Italy for having announced 0111 the pulpit, that liberty was perfectly in • , :reement with the religion of Jesus Christ.

According to very certain intelligence received by an Embassade at Paris, Warsaw was not taken until after a frightful carnage. The Russians, to the number of from 80 to 90 thousand men, were obliged to raise by assault three lines of fortifies nuns, defended by only 24,000 Poles, and it was not until the last fosse was filled with the bodies of the Russians, and after eight hours of furious struggle, that the Russians entered Warsaw. After two days of the most heroic defence, the . 244100 Poles effected their retreat upon Modlin, without the Russians having power to stop them, Cr even pursue them, and they had time to make their junction with the bulk of the Polish army. That noble cause, that sublime cause, is then not yet 'remediably lost.— Constitutionnel. "Ile Russian Ambassador caused to be removed, last night, to the Hotel of the English Ambas sador, his papers and most important effects.— Yotionat. Disorder has continued in Paris throughout the dAy ; it even for a moment took a character of gravity; two Ministers of the King had nearly become victims of it, and perhaps owe their , ii:vation alone to their courage and coolness. A crowd, composed of 3 or 440 individuals, and mix inx to the cry of Vine la Pologne, cries of yen c.ititl.• and murder traversed from morning until ten o'clock at night, the quarter of the Palais 11 ° al, and the Boulevards. Alarm spread in the City; the shops were immediately closed ; the rappel ' A asLeaten,and the troops ofthe line and the National buard proceeded to encounter the groups and they were dispersed, in spite of the perseverance ;%ideli they displayed.

F Rim t ries or Potnn D i Sept. 10.—Accounts al-;i'v of the Bth, in the evening, announce, !hat No mmy is included in tho Capitulation, and "nt a general to the Grand Duke Michael, lecoonuend itself to the clemency of the Empe '6t' 46 se I . o%inands it will await at Plink.-- IS( din Jour nail. lit XI.I X , SEPT. 15.—The Prussian State Gazette of this dute contains two accounts from Tl ` . Rosin , Head.quarters--the first dated Nn "lzyn, sth September, describes the preparations made for storming the entrenchments of Warsaw, and expresses an apprehension that the negociations commenced by General Sannenberg may not hare a favourable result ; but adds, that if the attack in the entrenchments should be successful, perhaps the voice of reason may be listened to, and then it will require but a short time to come to anunderstanding. The second report is dated Warsaw, Sept. B. It relates with more detail, but in substance the same as the report already received, the circum stances of the attack on the entrenchments of Warsaw. On the second day (September 7), Count Paskewitsch received a contusion from a cannon ball, which struck his left arm in the first quarter of an hour of the combat ; and though no dan gerous consequences were apprehended, be was obliged, for a time, to quit the field, and leave the command to General Tolt. After reciting the circumstances of the engage ment till the Russians had got possession of the rampart, the report concludes in the following terms :—" The Poles retreated into the interior of the city ; the Russians occupied the rampart, and erected batteries for eighty cannon, to chastise the rebellious city, in case it should persevere in its resistance. In the course of the night General Krukowiecki sent a flag of truce, announcing that the Diet had dissolved itself, and that he, as Dictator, governed alone, though he was not sure of his life. At day-break, orders were issued to all the troops not to commit any hostilities, as both the capital and the country had :Omitted to his Majesty the Emperor and King, and the army was marching to Plozk, as the Field-Marshal had ordered it, to await his Ma jesty's commands. This morning already General Malachowski caused a report of the Polish army to be delivered to the. Field-Marshal. The Imperial Guard occupied the city this morning, at the Jeru salem barrier. A deputation presented to his Im perial Highness the Grand Duke Michael bread and I salt. A brigade occupied the Tete du Pont of Praga. The field-marshal will come this morning to the pel videre. His indisposition prevents him from getting 'on horseback. General Count Witt is appointed Governor of Warsaw, and General Korff, Com mandant. The suburbs on the South West side are almost entirely burnt down. In the city itself the artillery has done little damage ; its effects would have been felt to-day. The loss of the Rus sian army could not be inconsiderable; it is esti mated at between 4,000 and 5,000 men ; but po sitive details are still wanting." BERLIN, SEpr.l2.-.(Frcm a Letter.)—With respect to the conditions on which Warsaw has surrendered, we learn that security and freedom for their persons and property were promised to the army, to the senators, and all those who filled public offices : the army is gone to Plozk to wait for the Emperor's orders; but for the members of the club, no promise of security could be obtained. Our King visits alternately the Opera and the Theatre ; but all his attendants at Charlottenburg are excluded from all communication with persons out of the Palace. The Princes and their house hold are gone to the new Palace near Potsdam. EXCHANGES ON LONDON. liAkouson, SIPT. 16.—One month, 13 7i; Two months, 13 61. CiIIISTIANIB, SEPT. 7.—Three months, 6 12.

DRESDEN, Sept. s.—The festival for the com memoration of the Proclamation of our Constitu tion, took place yesterday, according to the pro gramme that had been published, with every de monstration of universal joy, clouded only by the melancholy tidings of the appearance of the Cho lera at Berlin. Even the families of the rioters confined in the House of Correction received on this memorable day eight dollars each, and the assurance that the individuals in confinement should be released as soon as possible.

The Hambargh mail of the 17th brought fur ther extracts from the Berlin State Gazette of the 15th, in which it is asserted, that the capitulation of Warsaw included the capitu lation of the army ; and that the retire ment to Plosk is made with the con currence of the Russian General. We confess that we cannot believe this, in so unqualified a sense; and we must wait for information through less polluted sources. If true, in the sense assumed, all discussions relative to the independence of Poland would be at an end. It would have no organized representatives, whose interest foreign powers could espouse ; for though insurrections, and a guerilla war, may for an indefinite period be maintained in Poland—and this we think likely—yet a central government must exist, if the independence of Poland is to be a subject of further consideration. We continue to-day our interesting extracts fr m the Paris Papers of Sunday ; and have also given place to an original Letter from our own Corres pondent, written that morning. Those articles put our Readers in possession of all that is known in London on these subjects, and of far more informa tion than is to be found this day in any other London paper. With reference to the culpable, treacherous, and . . criminal conduct of the French Ministry, in so basely compromising Poland, we perfectly accord with the Paris journals. Whether any effectual measures can now be adopted, to reinstate Poland, is rendered a problem, only by their past conduct. At many periods within six months the Polish question was within the grasp and control of the French ministry. Poland had claims on them, and they had legitimate duties to perform. It might have been difficult to advance a sufficient force through Westphalia and Saxony into Poland ; but if a serious manifestationof such design had been made, the neighbouring Powers would have preferred to interfere in behalf of Puland, and the object thereby achieved, without a single French soldier passing the frontiers. But if Prussia chose to be wrong-headed, it would itself have been the chief sufferer ; and there is no doubt but French armies, under GERARD, LAMARQUE, LOBAU, or Sour.; might have advanced into Poland, over the wrecks of the Russian armies, if the King of Prussia had been so absurd and cruel as to will that it should be so. Affairs are now more complicated ; for Prussia has had time to raise her armies to the highest war standard: and it is a lamentable result, that if France would now assist the Poles against the Russians, the Rus sians would find powerful allies in the very coun tries which, within this generation, will themselves become the prey of Russian encroachments. Advices received both yesterday and to-day from Belgium, Holland, and France, give indica tions of renewed restlessness on the part of that High and Mighty member of the Holy Alliance— His Dutch MAJESTY. He is but the little finger of a gisnt, whose body consists of Russia, Aus tria, Prussia, Spain, &c. &c. but the united mass are too jealous of their omnipotence, to permit even their little finger to be assailed. It should be re membered by the friends of peace, that the rela tions of Belgium to Holland are exactly the same as those of Poland to Russia; — both Belgium and Holland, being assigned to their masters, by the black Congress of Vienna ; and the rule for Poland in regard to Russia will, we may depend upon it, be made the rule by the Holy Alliance for Belgium and Holland. This question is, in fact, only beginning to open itself; and it becomes of importance, in consequence of the capitulation of Warsaw—the state of Poland having hitherto absorbed the attention and resour ces of the Northern soul cf this formidable con federacy of KINGS against PEOPLE. This in truth is the key to the otherwise inexplicable conduct of the King of HOLLAND. It is also the key to the heartless policy of Prussia and Austria towards Poland ; and it explains why the Ambassadors of LEOPOLD en countered a negative reception at Berlin and Vienna. England and France, with some minor powers, in alliance with the generous wishes of people, can alone remove from Europe this over whelming incubus; but to direct their combined energies with success, requires, we fear, a mightier mind than at present has appeared. This evening there is to be a meeting of the parish of Sr. Luxe, to petition the House of Lords to pass the REFORM BILL ; to-morrow the people of WESTMINSTER assemble—the Great Meeting of BANKERS and MERCHANTS takes place on Friday, and will be as numerously attended a' the Requisition has been most respectably signed—a Requisition is also in course of signature for a meeting of the County of Surrey ; another is called of the Parish of St. Mary, Newington; another of Broad-street Ward ; another at Yarmouth, and others in various parts of the Country. We cannot suppose that their Lordships would decide in oppo sition to the House of Commons and the Kix°, on a mere Election Question, properly belonging to the Commons only; but the excitement of fac tions, and of the adverse Press, renders an expres sion of public opinion at this moment very influen tial, if not indispensable. We consider it not worth while to notice or discuss the various sinister rumours which, from day to day, ate set afloat ; for we regard them ns mere inventions of the enemy, and give the Peers credit for Constitutional wisdom enough, to defer on such a subject to the other Estates of the Realm. The third reading of the Reronm BILL took place last night on the simple motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, sans phrase; and on a division there were 113 for it to 59 against it. It was alto gether a surprize. Lord Jon i then proposed the rider, of which we gave a copy on Saturday, and which was read a second time. Some other verbal or trivial amend ments were then agreed to ; after which his Lordship rose, and addressing the Chair, said—" Sir—l now move that this Bill do pass." Loud cheers followed ; but before the Speaker put the question, Sir James Scarlett rose, and made a very lengthy lawyer-like speech against tho whole measure. Lord Morpeth replied, and Mr. Pemberton, Lord Newark, Sir John Malcolm, Mr. G. Williams, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Alexander Baring, and Sir H. Banbury, seve rally addressed the House at great length ; when, at one o'clock, Colonel Evans moved an adjourn ment, which was carried. Thus, the public are to be tantalised with a hundredth told tale; and we really wonder at the homage extorted from good manners by the majo rity, who patiently endure such repeated trespasses on their time.

Tradesmen's wages, which 12 months' ago were 10s. per day, had dwindled down to Is. 6d. and even that could scarcely be had in cash.

COALWON Lt. --- The first Resolution was moved by Mr. Dillon, of the House of Messrs.

He, as a tradesman, declared they would not be able to main. uin one of these, If they refused to I.ass the Bill (cheers). But another and a more important question more. Would the taxes be paid if the Bill were lost (loud cheers) ? Who was to fix and demand the taxes? IVould the people pay lazes levied by the sixty condemned representatives of Schedule A, or by the Italf.crippled representatives of Sell.-- dole B, whom the House of Commons had already declare,l unfit to vote? They must have in the House of Commmii, as in the Chapel at Newgate, a condemned pew. to s,p t. rate the condeinntd malefactors from the test of the com munity (continued cheering and laughter). They could not revive the dead; and were not Gatton, Boroughbridge, and Old Sarum dead ? The lightning of corruption had extinguished them, and they could beat neither fruit bar flower..* Mr. WILLIAMS, of Watling -street, who se conded, observed, that " it had been a. , ked, ' What will the Lords do ?' If their underst.indity:a were net stricken with total blindness, they weilid e. 3.41 the bill : if they expected to enjoy their piesulit wealth and honour, they would pass the bill, and that speedily, for, in the present state of ptibiic anxiety, any great delay would throw the whole country into confusion." Nlr. Williams alluded to the danger from forcing the people to view the Lords as their enemy— " Let the Lords, too, con sider, (he added) who would pay taxes if the bill was not passed, when the House of Commons had declared itself, as at present chosen, not represen ting the people of England. All the authorities of our country stated, that obedience to the laws was required of the people only because they were pre sent in the persons of their Representatives when the laws which taxed them were passed." Col. Tonezes, in moving the petition, forcibly observed " The boroughmongers tell us that we are about to perpetrate borough robbery; uow let us consider that ; they say it is their property to return a majority of the Members to the House of Commove. Now a majority of the House of Commons has the power of t thing money out of your pockets, has the power of making laws which shall affect your lives ; then fore, if the power of I returning a majority to the House of Commons be the property of the boroughmongers, then your lives and properties also are the properties of the borough:non _era. Now if their argument be worth a farthing, the people of England iwo I .•**.• than negro slaves. Such insolence ! what fools I they must be!" Mr. CHAS. PEARSON exposed the inconsistency of three who opposed the giving pledges to consti tnents on such a question as the Reform Bill, And yet approved of Members of the other House resi ding in France or Italy, systematically voting on important questions by proxy, without hearing the debate at all.
