Pousti FaoNTI eats, JUNE I.—According to accounts that may be depended upon, the loss sus tained by the Poles, in the battle of the 26th, was greater than stated in the Warsaw journals. They are stated to have lost 30 staff, and 225 subaltern otlicers, and 10,000 men in killed and wounded.— We INT not the slightest information respecting the movements of Field-Marshal Diebitsch, since the 26th. A difference between Gen. Skrzynecki and Gen. Krukowiecki, Governor of the Capital, is sz.id to bo made up. The request of the latter to, 3esign his post, is supposed to have originated in' this difference. WARSAW, MAY 31.—The Warsaw Courier that Gen.

These four corps to be com posed, one of English troops, which would occupy the provinces of Antwerp and Flanders; the 2d, of Prussian troops, destined to take possession of Lemburg and Liege ; the 3d, furnished by the Ger man Confederation, to take possession of Luxem bourg; and the 4th, to be sent by Louis Philip, King of the French, to occupy Hainault, and the other Walloon provinces. These are the benefits which the five powers, as we are told, are going to dispense to Belgium, for cur greater glory and prosperity. We give no credit to these reports, which are circulated with a certain affectation ; but we sup pose they ate propagated to frighten the country, and particularly the Congress.—Courrier. The reigning Duke of Brunswick arrived here yesterday, from Aix-la-Chapelle, on his way to Lnglami. Lord Ponsonby, his secretaries, and his whole suite, will set out to-day at noon for London.

PROCLAMATION OFT TTENERAL-IN-CHIEF ► ~ j : ;'lt II i TO THE LITHUANIANS. rt !, ; . Countrymen—The Polish army enters your territory. Children of the same country, Poles, t.t:ite vont-selves to us, to cast aside the odious 3,:he of slavery. " Abandon your houses, your fortunes : abandon every thing that has been most dear to you, and .crowd together to secure the first of blessings—the independence of our country. " But let us not deceive ourselves. For the fu ture, severe labour and sanguinary contests await : we have to contend with a powerful enemy ; his forces are Prodigious—the extent of his do minions great. " The contest will be terrible and arduous; but, rteollecting that Providence grants strength to union, that it gives victory to courage and perse vet once, let His name be invoked as the aegis °four holy cause, and let us seek aid from Him and con solation in religion. Guided by these truths, we shall attain the greatest of earthly benefits—the freedom of our country. Liberty and independence our universal cry : it is to them that our efforts IA lid, without them there can be little merit in the sight of God. Would to God that I could inspire you *ith this truth, that a nation struggling for all that Is most sacred on earth will find inreligious re nettiOh the best aid in obtaining the object of its ocsiree : nations and thrones will crumble into dust %hen they shall hard abandoned these eternal principles. " 1 le duty of Kings is to render men better, and it is only on that principle that the sacredness lacy of their thrones can rest. 'hen a Sovereign himself tears asunder bonds which unite him to his people, lice to his arbitrary will leads to dis w GOD, then an appeal to anus is as inexorably necessary. cast but one look upon the situation of our country. The prosperity of that country has disappeared, national progress has been obstructed, the traces even of domestic virtues are gone, our souls have been degraded by slavery, and our wealth has served to foster debauchery. Governed by im potent individuals, the national character every', where sinks into insignificance ; the sole object of those who governed us has been to dispossess us of every thing which is valuable in the eye of heaven and earth. "To arms, my brethren, to arms; It is to you I address myself, inhabitants of Lithuania, Volhy nia, Podolia, and Ukraine. Now or never is the moment for casting off the afflictive yoke. Our success hitherto shew•s that it is the Deity himself who guides us ; let us depend on his support, let us unite, then, with arms in our hands, and hope in our hearts. lie may at first try you with disas ters, but that ought not to discourage you ; the habit of combat, courage, and perseverance, will conduct to victory. " It is not against the Russian nation that we': take up arms— that generous nation has the same' origin with ourselves : its energies and its strength guided by our implacable enemies in the spirit of a deploralle policy, are worthy of higher destinies. Its law, its religion, will be respected by us, in pro- portion to the respect we cherish for the laws and the faith of our fathers : it is not against these that we wage war, but against that spirit of despotism which has crushed and oppressed us. " Our enemies calumniate us to the world by accusing us of being influenced by Jacobinical principles. " WE PROTEST BEFORE GOD AND THE WHOLE WORLD THAT THE RELIGION OF OUR FATHERS, A CONSTITUT!ON AL MONARCHY, TILE CONSOLI DATION OF THE LAW, OF TRANQUILLITY, OF *SOCIAL ORDER, HAVE BEEN, AND EVER WILL BE, OUR ONLY PRINCIPLES OF ACTION. I again repeat, victory will not be easy ; pro digious efforts, sacrifices of life and of property, await us, and even, perhaps, repeated reverses. Durinf , a protracted war perhaps a wandering life, or perhaps the death of martyrs, may await us ; but, trusting in GOD, let us not retreat ; and, com bating in the name of religion and of liberty, let, us acquire some merit before that GoD who re compenses union, courage, and perseverance with victory.

COPY OP A PETITION DELIVERED LO TEE BRITISH GOVSRNMENT. To thz Right Hon. Lord Palmerston, His Britannic Ma jesty's &ovary of State for the Foreign Department. The undersigned, being a subject of his Britannic Majesty, humbly begs to state his case for the con sideration of your lordship, being fully aware how much interest your lordship feels in what regards the welfare of British subjects resident in foreign countries. Your memorialist is by trade a flax-spinner, in which line of business he has established a concern at Winsouna, a village belonging to Count Mos towski, situated three German miles from the city of Warsaw, in the kingdom of Poland. Being on the right bank of the Vistula, it was occupied by the Russian troops on the 20th of February, who on the same day consumed and carried away all the eatables and drinkables he possessed, and for nine days he did not eat a morsel of bread. On the 22d of the same month, a party of 14 Russian Hussars entered the village, and came to his dwelling. They unceremoniously broke open the door (which was closed) with an axe, as well also as the windows and window-shutters ; they then proceeded to the manufactory, situated under the same roof, where he was employed. They first demanded his money ; he gave them to understand he had none. The Hussars then took forcibly from him his watch and gold seals, and, holding a pistol to his breast, stripped him of his coat, waistcoat, trousers, and boots, and beat him with a sword se ven severe blows on the back ; they cut open each article of wearing apparel to ascertain if money was concealed in them ; other parts of his wardrobe was pillaged, and he himself deprived of all except the shirt, drawers, and stockings he wore. On the demand of his razors, he went to a room below under the pretext of fetching them, when he took the opportunity to escape through the window (for the door was guarded) into the forest near the house. The Hussars then proceeded to pillage and injure the property in the manufactory ; they stole all the brass work attached to the machinery, and the leather belts which drove it, upwards of 300 files, 10 saws, oil and cans, various tools, bed clothes, wearing apparel, linen, &c. contained in his chest of drawer,, which was broken open with an axe, broke parts of his machinery, and committed other excesses. The undersigned, on his escape by the win dow, succeeded in reaching the forester's house, where he procured an old coat, and remained about an hour. Supposing by this time the hus sars had left the village, he, accompanied by the steward, was returning home when he met them, who again seized hold of him, and inflicted five more severe blows on the back with a sword.— He again succeeded in escaping to the forest, where he met a Russian officer, to whom he re presented, as well as he was able in German, the manner in which Isis property had been pillaged and destroyed, and himself punished, which ex cited only his derision and laughter. For three succeeding days other parties came with a waggon, who took from him at each visit various things belonging to his manufactory,—in fact all that was portable. His plans and books of accounts were all destioyed ; a clock affixed to a wall was taken down, thrown on the ground, and wilfully dashed to pieces. Visits were daily made by 10 or 12 Cossacks ' who took away, at their discretion, what suited them, until nearly all his effects were stolen or demolished. _ . _ _....._ _ Mr. William Thomas, a subject of the King of Prussia, a man advanced in years, who was an engineer on the same estate, received similar treatment to memorialist ; his house having been pillaged, his person stripped, and himself se-' ' verely flogged. He is gone to Berlin to repre sent his case to the Prussian Government. Memorialist obtained an interview with the Field- Marshal Diebitsch, to whom he represented the' treatment he had experienced from his troops. He (Diebitsch) remarked it was the chance of war, and ordered a guard of four Cossacks for the pro- THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, JUNE 13. Our extracts from the Brussels papers of the 10th, as well as our communications from Paris this morning, on the condition of Belgium, are highly important. It appears that Lord Pox sox av and General BILLIARD, were on the eve of taking their departure from Brussels, and M. How was about to leave Paris. It likewise appears, that ru mours of an invasion were prevalent in both capitals. " Three corps," says a Brussels paper, "and even four, are spoken of, which it is said will enter our territory at once, to execute the decisions of the Congress of London. These four corps to be composed, one of English troops, which would oc cupy the provinces of Antwerp and Flanders; the 2d, of Prussian troops, destined to take pos session of Lemburg and Liege; the 3d, furnished by the German Confederation, to take possession of Luxembourg ; and the 4th, to be sent by Louis Philip, King of the French, to occcupy Hain ault, and other Walloon provinces." These rumours are discredited in Brussels ; though the departure of the diplomatists rather tends to confirm the warlike appearances of the mo ment. On the other hand, however, we may ob serve, that if the Brussels Papers and Mr. Wit ITE are to be believed, Prince LEOPOLD has accepted his now dignity ; but the reserve on this side the channel proves, that the conclusion hitches some where. If accepted, the deputation and Prince would hasten to satisfy public expectation on the subject. Our private letter from Falmouth, of this day, contains very important intelligence from Colombia, to which we direct the attention of our readers. The STAR of this day presents a very interesting variety of foreign news. Poland, Belgium, and Colombia equally claim the attention of our readers. From Poland we have the affecting proclamation of SUTER ECK', addressed to the Lithuanians, and other Russo-Polish provinces. It is of a cha racter calculated to arouse a people of less heroism and nationality than the Poles. What a sensitive picture he draws of a fine country so degraded. Pot. Es, F. says, cast but one look on the si tuation of your country. Its prosperity has disappeared! It has been governed by impo tent masters, and the national character has been sunk into insignificance ! It is not against the Russians that we wage war ; but against that spirit of despotism which has crushed and oppressed us. His Protest and his appeal to the GOD of BATTLES will reach the heart of every freeman in Europe. In addition to this fine appeal, the Warsaw journals have fixed on Monday, July the 9th, for a general insurrection, in all the provinces of Russo-Poland. The inhabitants of every Pala tinate, or Waiwodeship, are on that morning to repair to the respective capitals of each, with such weapons as they possess, and are there to be formed into corps, and enrolled in the service of the whole Polish nation. The ninth of July will, therefore, be A MEMORABLE DAY in :the history of Poland. The number of armed men thus to be assembled, will, it is expected, exceed A MILLION AND A HALT; and such an imposing display of patriotic force, will, of course, put an end to further hostilities, and save rivers of human blood. The call is made on all Poland, from the Black Sea to the Baltic. It includes at once the Ukraine on the former, and Samogitia on the latter, a tract 750 miles long, and a barrier against Russian en croachment, which it is criminal in every Eu ropean Government not to aid the Poles in esta blishing. Now is the time ; and even in a selfish point of view, the people of every nation ought to urge their Governments to do their duty. The Dwina and the Borristines ought to be the ever lasting boundaries of the Muscovites. The rumours of Saturday, that France had de termined to set an example to the other Powers, and send an auxiliary army to the Vistula, appears to have no foundation, but its reasonableness. The French Government appears to be too much en gaged in conquering the independence of the electors, and in puny intrigues about Belgium, to embark in a grand cause suited to the power, and usual policy of so great a country. From the British Government we hope every thing, but expect little. If the prepared fleet should sail to the East, instead of the West, our gratification would be extreme; but it would be equalled by our surprize. At the same time, the statement made by Mr. W. Dow x te, a Bri tish flax-manufacturer, proves that Russian policy is that of Cherokees or Jagas, or New Zealanders; and that Russian practices place its power out of the pale of civilized society, and the laws of na tions. Who is the General FA N 311 Am E named by Dow Nis ? No such name disgraces! our army list. DIEBITSCII . B account of the battle of Ostro lenka is very guarded, and proves that he gained no victory. He calls it a bloody day, and speaks of five attacks made by the Poles, proving that in four they were not defeated. He says he took three cannon, and 1500 prisoners, besides wounded. In his cause lying is the minor crime. The French papers concur in stating, that be lost 15,000 men, and 20 generals ; but tho Poles in London say but 9,000. If the Poles had been defeated, he would have taken colours ; but he boasts of none, and he would have pursued, but he knew better. Perhaps his 1500 prisoners were Polish followers, not men in arms. French rumours of a further battle are not en titled to credit. We get Polish news by a shorter route than France. The speech speech of Mr. 0 CONNELL merits notice as throwing a glimmering light on Irish affairs; but such addresses have too much stage-trick and ostentation about tbem to instruct the world, or relieve the people. We believe, however, that Mr. O'Cotor ELL means well, and is actuated by the purest motives. ____ The Cambrian and Felix Farley's Bristol Journal, received this day, contain very long and minute details, of the truly lamentable occur rence at Merthyr Tidvil. We are sorry to observe, that upwards of 70 persons were wounded, some of whom are since dead ; and that though the number of killed is not yet distinctly as certained, no fewer than sixteen or seventeen per sons perished on the spot. Bodies are daily found in the fields and hedges of the neighbourhood. It is past all doubt, that the recent reduction of wages and the baneful effects of the truck system, were the immediate causes of this tragedy.— The Magistrates, and leading men at Swansea have issued a Proclemetion, in English and in Welsh, patting ar end to that system ; and declaring that henceforth the men's wages are to be paid in money every Friday afternoon. It is but justice to add—what was formerly denied—that the Riot Act was read, either during the con flict, or just before it—which of the two, does not yet appear very clearly established. A similar spirit of dissatisfaction has shown itself, at the iron-works of Neath Abbey, among the Colliers of Swansea ; and at the iron-works in ' the Forest of Dean, in Gloucestershire. This is stated to have arisen from the discontent of the population, at being deprived, by the recent inclosure on the Forest of Dean, of the rights of corn - mon which they before enjoyed. In order to recover these rights, some thousand persons had assembled, and proceeded to destroy the inclosures. They have also, it is said, threatened to destroy the rail road. A troop of dragoons were proceeding to the forest, by the last accounts. We trust that this expedition will not terminate in the same melan choly catastrophe as that which was destined, to act at Merthyr Tidvil. One of the leaders of the populace at Merthyr Tidvil is is custody, and, no doubt, will be brought to trial. We trust, too, that the actors on the other side, will not escape having a proper scrutiny made into their conduct. While the manufacturing_ districts of the West are thus disturbed, we find by the Durham' Ad vertiser, received this morning, that the men be longing to Hetton Colliery, and who were recently bound to the owners of that concern, have again quitted their employment.

This was all the re dress he obtained. Memorialist begs to remark, that in stating his case to your lordship, you will be aware of the con duct of the Russian troops, when even under a state of discipline, and will see that it does not corres pond with the duties in practice of European sol diers, but resembles more bands of robbers, as every thing is pillaged and destroyed within the range of their operations. Wheat, rye, oats, cattle, sheep— •wheat even in the straw—are all taken, and nearly all persons punished without respect of persons ; and this, notwithstanding the proclamation of the Commander-in-Chief, who promised to protect pri vate property, and to pay for all necessaries his troops required. As many subjects of his Majesty resident in Poland are liable to the loss of property and personal punishment so long u there is no Consul for their protection, I humbly beg to suggest to your Lordship the necessity of appointing one without delay. And your memorialist will ever pray, Warsaw, April 12. WM. DOWNIE. Sad Pokoziewydzealw 11.

The Ministry seek to persuade the electors, that the succession of the peerage will be renounced ; and that a combination will be formed, which will partake at once of the succession and non-succes sion, but which is neither the one nor the other. The electors will not be deceived ; and, faithful to the maxim, that foresight is the mother of safety, they enact from the candidates the formal renun ciation of the principle of succession ; and revise the measure at a later period, and come and propose to us to maintain the aristocratic chamber : the electors will take measures to repulse them."—Le National. _ _ AU kinds of alarming reports were set afloat yes terday. The news of the unexpected arrival of Marshal Soult, and of hostile resolutions on the part of our Cabinet, engrossed the public mind. Upon making inquiry in the proper quarter, we find that the first statement is false. The second, probably, is also without foundation.—Le Temps. The secretary of the Duke de Montemart arrived at Paris from St. Petersburgh in the course of the night, and the Duke himself is said to be hourly expected. It was remarked, that on 'Change yes terday a great quantity of rentes were sold on ac count of Russian houses. On the 30th ult. Gen. Romanow, of the Emperor of Russia's staff, arrived at Amsterdam, from St.Petersburgh and Hambo g The Secretary of the Spanish Embassy at Vi enna arrived on Thursday night, at the Spanibli embassy at Paris, on his way, in great haste, to Madrid.—Journal du Commerce. The Bourse has been violently agitated for the last two days. Events which approach and com plicate more and more will show to minds the most blind, the result where the sad policy of th.: Perier Ministry has conducted us, and the annilii• lation of those illusions with which we have been entertained for the last three months upon our situation with respect to Europe. War is at our gates. What arm will be sufficiently pow_ erful to turn it off,—what mind sufficiently sub tle to disguise the imminence ? Ministers of the 13th of March, what compensation will you offer us for the principles of July sacrificed to the Holy Alliance— for Belgium delivered by your hands, Poland abandoned, the patriots of Italy immolated by the executioners of Austria—for having had faith in solemn engagements which you have foresworn Behold Belgium at war with the confederates of London ; the fatal sentence is passed, and England is charged with the execution. Four frigates, tell steam boats, and one hundred transports, have sailed from Portsmouth for the mouth of the Scheldt. Notwithstanding what does the Perki ministry ? Docile to the British word of command. it breaks with its hand the weak ties which still attach Belgium to France. Lord Ponsonby is recalled to London, ho submits to the reprimand of the Con gress for having sojourned at Brussels some days after the resolutions of the Belgian Congress upon the question of the limits, and General Belliard, whose orders are to imitate, in every point, the conduct of the English diplomatists, is on his road to return to Paris. Yesterday evening, at the conclusion of the council of Ministers, M. Lehon, envoy from Belgium, was written to from M. Sebaatiani, who notified to him that his diplomatic functions had ceased, and that he would no longer be recognised as an official character. From such fine preliminaries, there remains for us nothing else than to realise the threat of the protocols, and to direct upon the Belgian frontier our contin gent of 30,000 men ; there will be found, without doubt, some Wellington quite ready to take the com mand. How fine it will be to see French valour again display itself in the fields of Jemappe to convert a brother nation to the religion of the Hely Alliance ! This will not be one of the wars of principle, which embroiled us with absolute Kings, and which left us no other alli ince than that of the people : it will be a war to place the keys of her frontiers in the hands of a British goaler— to a crowned Sir Hud son Lowe. It remains to be seen whether the French soldiers will be found to have much ardour for such a crusade. The Belgians will come to meet them, presenting arms, chanting patriotic airs, and displaying the colours of France.— Journal du Commerce. BELGIUM. The Council was assembled yesterday several times, and the diplomatic corps had to assist this morning at a confer ence bold at the house of 51. Casimir Perier, in order to know what part they should take towards Belgium. A most strange thing, the occupation of the Belgian provinces by the troops of Proula,and of the Germanic Confederation, is not that which the most Mani our ministry, although it would still repulse such a neighbourhood with some energy. Ano. cher danger appears to it much more formidable—it is the invasion of France by the Republic, of which the focus is ro longer at the Luxembourg, nor at the Place Vendome, but in Belgium. Already the ministry fear that theßelgian volunteers,which are to the numberof 15,000, will march towards our frontiers, tricoloured Sags dying in front, and that they will seize cur. cessively upon all our cities by proclaiming a republican government. It is very seriously that the friends of the ministry speak of this project. It remains to be known whether our ministers will allow themselves to be canes in the snare, and whether, in the fear of a possible republic, they will suffer to be established at our gates a royalty really inimical to us. This evening, however, the ministry feels the necessity of an explanation upon the affairs of Belgium, and the .Ifonfieser contains an article upon the subject.— Courrier Francais. A question of limits becomes secondary after a question of independence. A natural limits:ion presented itself. It was the situation which Belgium occupied before her re union to France, that is to say, there was assured to her the same territory which she possessed at the epoch when she was placed under the Austrian Administration. The map of 1790 becomes then naturally that of 1831: for, between these two epochs, it was not Belgium, It was a French Pro. elate, afterwards a Dutch Province. It was truly re establishing Belgium upon these bases. We should ex pect assistance on the part of the Belgians. But they raise pretensions much beyond the basis of which they could however contest the political equity. The Belgians have claimed successively Luxembourg, the totality of Lim. bourg, end the left bank of the Scheldt. Invoking conces sions made On 1796, not by Belgium, who did nothing for herself, but by France, who came to aggrandise herself. We hope then always, and with a confidence which proves to the Belgian nation the esteem of the French government; we hope that new ways of accommodation, facilitated by the unanimity of Europe, sod by France, will soon be opened. In the interim, General Billiard will, u well as Lord Pon sonby, quit a city when their voices cease to be listened to. We then believe that the Belgians, in place of listening to passion alone, will return, ere long, to more wise sentiments, and recognise the necessity, es well as the convenience for themselves, of a conduct more moderate, more equitable, and more prudent.—Moniesser. We learn, that on the 7th, the Regent of Belgium, in con. sequence of the official notification of the last aseasorandum of the conference of London, issued a Decree for arming and raising all the:men comprised in the first baud of the Civic Guard. That measure will extend the disposable military forces of Belgium to 160,000 combatants. We know that already the first ban of the Civic Guard of the Province of Luxembourg, was called out by a Decree of the 16th April. When the Regent rendered his last Decree of calling out the Civic Guard, the refusal of Prince Leopold, and the ulterior decisions of the conference of Londba, were not then known at Brussels. The arming of the Civic Guard at Antwerp. of West Flanders. of Liege, of Limbourg, and the other pi,- vino. was then but a measure of precaution ordained, not only by the lest messorandoen of the Plenipotentiaries at London, but again by the daily egressions of Holland upon a:great part of the Belgian frontier. But, at the moment when we write, the population, anticipating the orders of its I I Government, run without doubt to arms, and dispose them• selves to repulse the Dutch beyond the limits traced by the deceitful armistice which diplomacy had Imposed en them. May the Belgians be convinced, that it is but In war, and in an immediate and vigorous war, that they will find the it d/pada:we which they have been in pursuit for this eight mootbs t Near did liberty lad as asylum In the midst of a people by the aid of diplomatic notes I the ammo gooe ca obtain it.
