We have received by the Estafette of this morning, our usual supply of Paris Journals; and in our subsequent columns we have given a selection of extracts from them, which are not to be found in the Morning Papers, even including the 2d Edition of our active cotempomry, the Herald. We have likewise subjoined a short letter from our correspondent, chiefly descriptive of the occasional disturbed state of the French Capital, which he at tributes—but we suspect too positively—to the secret pro ceedings of the Carlist faction. We have not been able to find reetll to-tio7,for a carious document found in the house of a Carlist,named Cou n t Jagan de Luz, in Brittany; which would cv: isziinly, if authentic, go a great way to prove, that the Car lists had really organized something like a systematic attack, to support the claim of the Due de BOURDEAUX as HENRY V. under a Regency of the Duchess de BERRI. If the document be not a State fabrication, to give a colour to the disturbances in Paris, it certainly proves that the in sanity of the Bourbons is not yet at an end. We think the readers of the STAR, if they compare its foreign intelligence of this day, with what they may find in the columns of its contemporaries, will perceive that it still maintains the superiority,which must have been to its readers so long perceptible. FLIGHT AND DISPERSION OF THE RUSSIAN ARMIES!!! From the 17th ult. to March 1, the Russian hosts have had to contend, in the inhospitable woods before Warsaw, vgainst MARSHES, FAMINE, and the PotEs ! Such a ruinous contest would place 5 per cent. of their numbers hors de combat every day. Twelve such days would ren der flight necessary, and we are happy to say, it has taken place, though softened in the Prussian journals into " a march to PLoca and GORA !" These well-wishers of the barbarians &so tell us, that a corps of observation is I , .ft ; but we have no doubt that this corps is the chief part of the Russian army left in the woods, wounded, dying, and dead. It appears that one portion of the discomfited Russians have fled towards PLOCK, 100 miles from Warsaw, down to the Vistula, and towards the protection of the Prussian Frontiers; and another portion have fled towards Gora, t;;, miles above Warsaw, towards the Austrian Frontiers. In fact, it is as complete a flight and overthrow of the barbarians, ns the friends of civilization and liberty could desire ; and that the victory has not been sooner known., and is not now more fully known, arises from the circum stances, that the acounts pass to us through the base legiti; mate press of Prussia. The mars, however, do not deceive us ; and when we view on then► the positions and distances of Plock and Gora, uo colouring of the Prussian journals can disguise the fact, that the Russian army is ruined, routed, and dispersed. BRUSSELS, March 11.—We have received the Prussian Stale Ga setae of the sth and 6th of this month. They make no mention of the taking of Prager by the Russians, although they give news under the head Warsaw, March 1 ; and private letters say that the attack made by the Russians was on the 28th February. It is to be observed that the camas from the Polish Journals given in the Prussian Slate Gazette, relate nothing later than the 27th February. BEM" Maacu 7.—The Warsaw Courier of the 28th ult. says— Yesterday also passed over without any fighting. It is reported that the greater part of Ike hostile army leaves its present position, and marches to Nook-Field. Marshal Diebitsch himself is said to be at the head of this division, and the remainder will be left to observe the works of Prigs." The Warsaw Gaaakt of today contains an official report of Gen. Urminskl an the action Orthe 24th, on the left wing of the Polish army at Nokias, in which that Oeneral commanded the Ist corps of cavalry. The journals of this city have not yet given a particular as count of the battles of the 24th and 25th February. The Warsaw Courier says that several citizens from the neighbour. hood of Zamon arrived here the day before yesterday, who met with no corps of the essay ow the way. Palau Fiouttza, Match 2.—According to private accounts from Warsaw, Ms greater part of the RlSliali army has marched to Plock, and another part to Gora, leasing only a corps qf observation hefore Warsaw—n.loBl'l. State Gavotte, March 6. These facts, conceded by the Prussian ally of the Russians, are equivalent to columns of dispatches. The Russians are palpably frustrated and overthrown, and the event will be ever memorable in modern history. The Prussian Gazette is even so absurd as to assert, that the Russians hare retreated, because the Polish army was so much ruined as to be unable to fight another battle ! On that account the Russians marched away out of pity to the enthusiastics who command at Warsaw ! This is most amazing ; and we can enjoy it, because it proves that Po- LAND IS SAFE, AND THAT THE MIGHTY RUSSIAN ARMAMENTS HAVE COME TO NOUGHT. His Majesty's packet Magnet, PORTEOUS, arrived Sa turday from Lisbon, having left that place on the 7th inst. with a mail, and advices up to that period. No ex ecutions had taken place, as we were led to expect by the last accounts. Several had been tried by the Special Commission, amongst whom there were one Captain, one Serjeant, and ten Constitutionalists, found guilty of at tempting to overturn the existing Government ; and it was stated at Lisbon, when' the Magnet left, that they were condemned to be executed on the subsequent Friday, (11th inst.) Sen. ANTONIA de SILVEIRA e LORENA, and Mr. A. CIIANSEREAO, came home passengers in the packet, and were bearers of despatches from the Portuguese Go vernment. We have arrivals from Canton of the 18th of November, by the Duchess of Athol and the Thomas Coutts. All the outward-bound ships had arrived, except the Anne and Amelia. Accounts from Liege of the ith of March state, that a report prevailed there of a battle on the side of Campine, owing to the Dutch wanting to introduce provisions into MseAricht. The Belgians, who were few in number, were defeated by the Dutch ; but, having received reinforcements, they compelled the Dutch to retreat. Private letters from Vienna state, that great movements of troops are taking place—proceeding principally towards Styria and Carinthia. Accounts from Metz of the 9th March, state that orders have been received there, to prepare immediately 30 batteries of six-pounders, with their caissons and mteriel. WARSAW AND PRAGA versus THE COCRIEit, DI.OIIE, &C. - - - It is impossible to pass over the quackeries and inventions of our contemporaries relative to the false account circu lated on Thursday and Friday of the occupation of Warsaw by the Russians. We ventured on Thursday to doubt the assertion, and even anticipated, by comparing facts and positions, that the Russians were far more likely to be routed and cut off in detail. But on the same afternoon, in other London papers, the entry of the Russians into War saw was described not only as certain, but various circum stances were audaciously invented to give colour to the originality and priority of each paper ! Take the veracious Globe for example, and judge of its authority by the fol lowing specimen of original invention ! " We have just learned, from the most respectable autho rity, that accounts of the defeat and dispersion of the Polish army have been received by the Russian Minister this day, and that a partial resistance only had taken place at Warsaw, in consequence of the representation of the Municipality that the immense force of the Russians would render it utterly unavailable." Take the following from the pretending and mendacious Courier. " We regret to state that o f ficial accounts have been re ceived this day of the surrender of Warsaw, after the defeat by the Russians of the Polish army. The armistice which had been entered into for the purpose of burying the dead on the first battle, having expired, hostilities were renewed on the 26th ult. on which day, and on the 27th there was much hard fighting, with considerable loss on both sides. — The Poles behaved as gallantly as in the previous affair, but being unequal in number to adversaries, they were at length compelled to give way. Determined, however, to make their retreat in as good order as possible, they set fire to Praga, in order to interrupt, for a time, the advance of the Russians. Praga was thus destroyed. On the 28th, the municipal authorities of Warsaw, finding themselves no longer protected by their brave army, and being unable, from the nature of the city, to prevent the entry of the Russians, held a meeting, at which it was resolved to sur render at discretion. They waited upon the Russian com mander to signify their submission ; and the Russian troops immediately entered the capital." Now really if the people of England permit themselves to be twice insulted in like manner, they will deserve to suffer as dupes ; for the inventors of such a tissue of gross falsehoods ought neither to be forgotten nor forgiven. The whole, from beginning to end, in each paragraph, is pure fiction, and without the smallest shadow of foundation. There were no official accounts, and the writers must have known better. If the public compare the Foreign News of the STAR with its contemporaries, it will appear, in some instances every day, that the STAG is twelve and twenty-fours before any of them. Yet it did not contain any decisive account of the burning of Praga, and the capture of Warsaw—be cause there were no creditable accounts of such events in London—but that its contemporaries should not only give full credence to what was not true, but should confer plausi bility on falsehood, by inventing incidents and collateral circumstances which had no existence, is a conduct for cas tigation from more scrupulous Journals, and of resentment on the part of the public. The news originated early in the week in a Prussian Journal printed at Cologne, and was put forth to counteract the effect of the great losses of the Russians. It was then copied into a Belgic Journal, but from the first the date be lied the story. It was, however, a fruitful germ for the Stock-gamblers at Paris, and by them was fathered on M. LA PITTE, who never spoke a word on the subject. Some Chevalier d'lnclustrie, sold it for 3s. 6d. to a London Morn ing Paper, by which it was printed in a Second Edition on Friday, but being vouched for by one at 250 miles distance, the moment we saw it we thought of Bunbury's progress of a lie. After all, it may happen sooner or later, that Warsaw may be taken, and Praga too, and then we presume, our most ingenious contemporaries will lay claim to the second sight—but such quackeries cannot long succeed. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE. PAN IS, Maly= 12. Sir—Really to repot t upon the state and disposition of Paris and its inhabitants, one would require a set of messen gers to dispatch one after another, so that the second might contradict the intelligence of the first. I scarcely write you word that all is here tranquil, and dispatch my letter by the post, than li wish it back again, to add a post scripture, to say that I was mistaken, and fresh disturbances have com menced. On Wednesday this was actually the case, for in the evening Paris was again in motion, the National Guards on the alert, and the new duty of the commissaries of police called into action. Grieved and disappointed at the news which had arrived at Paris of the defeat of the Poles, after having been so elated the day before at the re ports of their success, an assembly took place on the Place Louis Quinze, and proceeded to the Hotel of the Russian ambassador, where they broke many of his windows; and what is much worse, fired two pistol-shots in at one of the windows ; at the same time venting their displeasure with loud shouts—Long live the Poles ! Death Ito the Russians. The guards were quickly at the spot and dispersed them ; but they afterwards assembled at the Palais Royal, uttering the same cries, and demanding this time war instead of bread. At 10 o'clock, however, all was pretty tranquil ; but it required very strong detachments of the guards to preserve this tranquillity, who blocked up the ends of many of the streets,whilst other strong bodies paraded the different quarters of Paris. Again, the principal shops in the Rue St. Honor 6, and the Rue Richlieu, together with the gardens of the Palais Royal were closed ; and again it goes forth to the world that dissension, disunion and revo- I lution, form the component parts of this metropolis. Many' of the National Guards expressed their regret to the Rua sian Ambassador, for the scenes which had taken place, and all the journals, as you will perceive, are indignant at the disgrace cast upon the polite nation, by practises which have hitherto only been famous at Constantinople. The persons of Ambassadors ought ever to be sacred. The French, or at least the assembly of Wednesday evening, appear to forget what was the origin of the famous Alge rine expedition, which took place owing to a less indignity offered to the person of the French Ambassador. There is however no longer any doubt that these commotions are iu- i stigated by persons behind the scenes ; the working class in this instance have taken no share. On the contrary, when the procession passed through the quarter Saint Antoine and other parts, many of the workmen stigmatized those men, as being the cause of their want of regular employment, and that they were depriving them of bread ; and so far from joining, as was expected, to swell the throng, they actually assisted the National Guards to take some of them into custody—a convincing proof that the assembly lately at the Palais Royal, demanding bread or Mood, was not composed of starving workmen, as I observe the Times styles them. I was witness to the drunkenness of most of them ; and it has been proved, that all those who were arrested were provided with money. Indeed, I know from good autho rity, that the Carlist faction, which has money at command, stir up these tumults ; and according to the sum advanced, so is the magnitude of the commotion. 6,000 francs will purchase but a small tumult ; 20,000 a decent one h—and it is given out that on the 20th of this month, the day of the distribution of the prizes of July, there is to be a " pretty considerable row;" that a sum of 30,000 francs is in hand for the occasion, and that it is determined to make itworth the money—having the same sort of feeling as the murderer in the Children in the Wood, as not to receive money, without doing the duty required. There was an assembly yesterday; but those bold men who were so eager for war, were frightened by the rain, which coming on during their march, dispersed them. At present—half-past three o'clock—we are all quiet. Goo knows whether the calm will last till to morrow—it is devoutly to be wished ; and I hope I may be able to write you two letters in the same strain, without one contradicting the other. I remain, yours, &c. J. L. P.S. As I predicted in my last, M. Lafitte has sent in his resignation, which has been accepted. You will set' by the Journals that there are various opinions upon the probable composition of the new Ministry ; but none of them give a correct statement of the men who are likely to come in. The list I inclose you, I consider, at present, cor rect, as I have received it from the best source ; but here nothing can be relied upon long together. This list, how ever, was expected to be in the M.niteur this day : M. Casimir Perrier ... President of the Council, and Minister of the Interior. Keeper of the Seals, and Mi nter of Justice. Minister of Finance. Bartbe . St. Cricq Benin de Vann Public Instruction. Admiral de Rigny .... Minister of Marine. Sebutiani... I I Remain as before. Souls... • • • • f - - - - - Since writing the above, the Moniteur has just appeared, but gives no list. I will inform you to-morrow, should any changes take place. In the meantime, you may, I think, rely on the inclosed. The Moniteur of to-day, contains an ordonnance calling out 80,000 of the young soldiers, into active service. The news from Poland has happily not been confirmed. The revolution marches well in Italy. A private letter from Rome, dated the 3d instant, states that the tri-coloured flag floated there. The sons of Louis Bonaparte are found to be at the head of the revolution in Italy. This has caused the flight of the Duchess of St. Lou, Queen Hortense. J. L. AFFAIRS 01 BELGIUM. — he horizon clears daily for the advantage of our neighbours. The concentration of power in the hands of a popular man, has rallied all good citizens and extinguished the hopes of the agitators. Since then, no more commotions, no more attempts of the Orangists, and Belgium is probably at this moment the country of Eu rope, which encloses the least elements of trouble. As to the Interior, M. Surlet de Chokier, since that he has been at the head of affairs, has not looked coldly upon any in terest, nor wounded any party; he has well treated the North without displeasing the South; he has granted something to the Catholics without giving discontent to the philosophers. As to the exterior, his administration has not been less h a ppy. We have spoken of the malevolent dispositions of England for his person. His title of Regent, which appears to implicate the maintenance of the King, chosen by the Congress, his well-known sympathy for France, has given uneasiness to the British Ministry, which did not even seek to disguise its bad humour. The ministry declared against him, and threatened not to recognize him. But, as it was easy to perceive—the election made, it has shifted ground. Never Cabinet possessed, like that of Saint James's, the talent of ceding k propos. Thus, we un derstand, that the day after the arrrival at Brussels, of General Belliard, Lord Ponsonby quitted the sour tone which he had taken, and demanded an audience of the Re gent. This audience took place; the two nations are at present in the best understanding, and we doubt not but Europe will quickly imitate this example. Such has been the result of the firmness of our Government : it appears to us that that should encourage it to follow the same route. M. Surlet begins to occupy himself by causing the nation to be represented at Foreign courts. He has named M. Lehon, member of the Congress, minister plenipotentiary from Belgium to France, and confirmed on M. Firmin Roper hi s title of First Secretary of Legation. M. Lehon arrived yesterday at Paris, and will to-morrow, or the day after, we are assured, present his letters of credit to the King of the French. The Regent has not yet named ti t , Ambassador to the Court of London ; but we can give a, certain, that it will be M. d'Aerschot, Member of the Con gress, and of the Deputation sent to Paris to offer the croti to the Duke of Nemours. A report has been current, an d several journals have announced, that 12,000 Prussians had entered the Duchy of Luxembourg I this would be a po st _ tive hostility against our neighbours and against F rance . We can certify that this intelligence is complet e l y f alse. From tokens, which we have reason to believe c er t a i n, th ,_ Cabinet of Berlin is on the best terms with Belgium. W,. are assured even, that the late events of Poland have draail tighter the ties which unite the two countries. The situa tion of Prussia is delicate and complex ; it is necessary for her to know that she has more to dread from th e d espot of the north, than from liberty. It is positive, at thi s moment, that it is the north which she looks upon with the greatest fear ; but it appears that it is not the same with Austria. The moral and political situation of these two countries ail! explain the difference.—Le Constitutionnel. At this moment, when affairs are approaching to the ca tastrophe, each party seeks to render itself masterr of the best positions. There is nothing astonishing in this; and the veil of moderation lurks under the desire of reconstitut ing legitimacy, for at this moment all their efforts are di rected to render the state powerless, and to keep in employ ment creatures of the late order of things. It is easy fur them to prepare a similar catastrope to that of 1814 and 1815, for they are expert at such things. Before a month we shall be attacked by the united force. of Europe : our army, fine in appearance, reckoning in its bosom more than a third of Carlist officers, who, as at Waterloo, know well, at the decisive moment, how to cry Sauve qui pent! They count upon it. Our materiel, which cost so dear, will not proceed ten leagues before it will be out of service, for the purchase of it is entrusted to a commission, who buy all at the lowest possible price, and charge the highest. Whilst the mind and materiel of our army is thus prepared, nothing is neglected to maintain all the Carlist authorities upon all points of France, so that Henry V. who will arrive at the tail of the Cossacks, may find ready to receive him all his friends and vassals. And with these positive and glaring facts, they do not fear to hawk about the list of a new ministry, in which we read the names of a Pasquier ! of a Saint-Cricq, who serve in com mon all Regimes ! of a Bertin ! of a d'Argout, who formerly burnt the tri-coloured flag! Oh, shame ! Oh, France twenty times the victim of treason, what will it require to open your eyesl"—La Revolution. FRANCE. " ELEVEN O'CLOCK AT NIGIIT.—We are assured that M. Cassimir Perrier has refused the mission to compose a new ministry, and that Marshal Soult has been charged to do so. It was said this evening that Marshal Maison, our Ambassador to Austria, has just arrived at Paris. It is added, that he quitted Vienna, after having protested against the manifesto of M. de Metternich, on the subject of the intervention of Austria in Italy. If this news is true, we may expect the immediate departure of M. d'Appony."—Le National. •' There is nothing decided yet as to the formation of a new Ministry. The Council was prolonged this evening until nearly midnight, but without result." According to another version the Cabinet would be com posed as follows :—M. de Mosbourg would have the Fi nances, M. Salverte Public Instruction, M. Odillon Bar rot the Interior, M. Maugin the Seals, M. Lamarque the Foreign Affairs, and M. Lafitte would still retain the Pre sidency of the Council, without a portefeuille. In both these combinations Marshal Soult would be maintained at the head of the War Department. It was also said on Change that M. Dupin would enter the Ministry. The Moniteur is silent to-day upon the affairs of Poland, as well as upon those of Italy ; the Sitting at the Chamber has produced no explanations ; on the other hand, there ap pears much embarrassment in order to compose a Cabinet. M. Perrier, charged, it is said, to propose a combination, can find no persons who will essay in the trial of affairs with him. Some are too unpopular ; others not enough. In the midst of all this, things proceed, and become more and more pressing. The government is at this moment, it is said, to pick up the gauntlet thrown by Austria. There can be no more shifting : all things speak the necessity. We are as sured that to-morrow M. d'Appony will have his passports for Austria.—Le National. Thiers has sent in his resignation of Under Secretary of State for the Finances. We have reason to believe that it was determined by the late dismissions and arrestations which have, taken place, and which reveal a system with which it is not possible for those to associate who wish the liberty and honour of France.—Le National. The same uncertainty still subsists this evening upon the composition of the Ministry: it is hoped, nevertheless, that all will be terminated this day. Whilst they are deliberating in the Cabinet, conjectures are current: two lista very dif ferent were handed handed about on 'Change, and no one could tell which was likely to be the correct one. The one had M. Casimir Perier as President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, and gave him for colleagues, Messrs. Mole, Hermann, Berenger, Barthe, de Rigny, and d'Argout, —this last in quality of Minister of Police. Following the other version, M. Lafitte remained President of the Council, but without a portfolio : M. de Mosbourg had the Finances, M. Salverte the Public Instruction, M. Odilon-Barrot the Interior, M. Mauguin Justice ; M. Lamarque, Foreign Affairs. The name of Marshal Soult figured in both lists. Tbis evening, in the saloons, it appeared to be doubted whether the Perier Minis try could be formed, and the possibility of the re-entry of M. Lafitte was admitted to affairs. Some negociations were spoken of, as being entered on with M. Merilhou, to en him to retake the seals. It was even said that Marshal en gage had declared aloud, that he would not consent to suffer any other President of the Council than M. Lafitte. In fact, there is at this moment little chance for the ministry of the centres, and it is to be hoped that the present crisis will be the means of rendering the Council more homogenous and constituting it stronger."—Journal du Commerce. RUSSIA AND POLAND. By the news from Warsaw this day. The Gazette of Berlin of the sth of March has not even an article on Poland. It is remarkable that the news of the capitulation of Warns'. brought from Berlin, as it was said, by Baron Mortier, was dispatched at the same time to Frankfort, to Vienna, to Ant werp, and elsewhere, and that at all these places it had an in fluence upon the public funds, an effect which probably ful filled the attempt of those who were in the secret of the com bination. We will not qualify such an attempt by giving It a name.—Journal du Commerce. We have read this day commercial letters from St. Peters burgh of the 22d of February. They speak upon political affairs with much reserve ; but it is easy to perceive, not withstanding, that in that capital they do not count urn much stability in commercial operations for the approaching campaign.—/dern. " We extract the following from our private correspon dence upon the affairs of Poland. It appears certain that the dispatches of Berlin had exaggerated the reverses of the heroic Poles. We have received this day dispatches
