By the Fetafetto of this morning, we have received a huge packet of Paris Journals, from which we have ex tracted some highly interesting intelligence, which we tkink will be found exclusively in the STAR of to-day. We have likewise received, from our Correspondent, an animated address from the Committee, who have established themselves in Paris, to aid the cause of Polish independence. It is signed by several of the most distin guished characters in the French Capital, and is illustrative of the public sentiment. There was a time when Great Britain led the way in such creditable demonstrations of the national regard to justice ; but, alas ! even her high charac ter, as a leader of liberal sentiment in Europe, is beginning to give way to her poverty of purse, or rather to her ill divided, unfructifying wealth. The general impression is strongly conveyed in our correspondent's letter, that France will either subdue the enemies of representative , government ia Europe, by her negociation, or by her armies; and the latter is thought the most probable alternative. We have a variety of Paris papers this morning, dated Sunday, the contents of which are highly important. The i Messager des Chambres has the following word's :—" We , learn that his Royal Highness, the Duke de NEMOURS, has , been elected KING of the Belgians, by the National Con gress, assembled at Brussels, in the sitting of Friday, the 28th of January." Le Temps of the same date says— " We have been assured that an extraordinary courier has brought to M. Roo ER, the news of the nomination of the Duke de NEMOUns, to the throne of Belgium. This nomi nation has not given us much astonishment. We well knew the embarrassment of the Congress. We knew that the communications which it had received from the Cabinets, would not permit the appointment of the Duke de LEUCH• TEN BERG." Le Globe of Sunday gives the same intelli gence ; but, on the other hand, the Courtier Francais states —" from information which we have obtained, we have reason to believe, that Government has not received any official account of the election of the Duke de NEMOURS. It may be expected, that the deliberations of the Congress will yet last two days ; and consequently, it must be Mon day or Tuesday before we can obtain the information." The Constitutionnel affirms, likewise, that up to nine o'clock the previous evening, no official account had arrived of this fact at the Palais Royale. It states, however, that at one o'clock on Sunday morning, M. Basssox, the French Envoy at Brussels, had arrived at Paris; and left for Brus sels again, two hours after. The Journalde Paris speaks thus: " At eleven o'clock at night, the Government had received no intelligence upon the choice made by the Belgian Con gress. The latest news from Brussels, dated the 27thin the evening, announce that the election of the Duke de Ne- Noy RS will be carried on the morrow, with very few difficul ties ; it is added that Lord PONSONBT had declared to the Diplomatic Committee that the choice of the Duke de LEUCHTENBILRO will be less agreeable to England. Thus, the election of the Duke de Nutou as is probable ; perhaps it is made at this moment : but the news which is given by the Messager is premature." To these extracts we have to add one from the Journal du Commerce, crediting the news, and adding, in corroboration of the Journal de Paris, that In the sitting of the 27th, the Congress received communication of a note from Lord Ponsonby, making known that the nomination of the Duke de LEUCHTEN BERG would be, of all the combina tions, the most disagreeable to England." To these details, which we have extracted from six of the principal Paris papers, we have to state, that our private Cor respondent has written to us, assuring us, that the universal belief of all circles in Paris is, that the Duke de N mamma is certainly destined to be Ring of the Belgians, with the private assent of the French and English Cabinets. We leave our Readers to form their own conclusions ; having submitted to them all the means we possess of forming their opinions upon the fact. If any thing official transpire in the course of the afternoon, we will not fail to lay it before our Readers. The language of the French Ministers might lead the Poles to despair of aid from France, if the Poles and Polish principles had not allies in such men as LA FAYETTE, Da LABORDI, and MAUOU ix. Poland is, doubtless, severed from France by Prussia and Saxony; but the latter would be the ally rather than the opponent of a liberating army, and such an army would find allies every where. Marshal Soy LT has, however, proved himself the best friend to the liberties and peace of Europe, by raising the French armies to the war standard. Prussia and Austria would rather guarantee the independence of Poland, than 100,000 French should march into the North, or than a single regiment should cross the Alps : we confess, therefore, that we think the independence of Poland is assured; and, by demonstrations and diplomacy, without bloodshed. This, however, seems certain, that France is, if necessary, both ready and willing to give the AUTOCRAT the meeting in Poland, if he demand the bond which was executed at the ever-infamous Congress of Vienna, to which modern France does not consider itself a party. So, also, if the Belgians seek union with France, she will again extend her boundaries to the Rhine, and she announces herself as competent and willing to do this, A few days will decide these great questions; bet, thank Goa, they are remote from British interests, and time has shown that it is of no consequence to US who is outer of the Scheldt, to keg as it is free to British trade; while, in regard to Poland, the hearts of the' British people beat for her success ; and their good wishes will attend all her allies, whether French or Turks. We have seen addkusse to Power, presented by certain portions of the Irish population. We do not doubt the respect, ability, or earnestness, of the parties ; but among seven millions of people. the opinions of a few hun dreds, or a few thousands, are but a feather in the scale. Every muter of a family is flattered by his servants and trades-people ; but few are so stupid as to regard this as the opinion of the world. On such occasions, we never forget the chest-full of addresses,"which honest Richard Cromwell used to show to his friends, in his obscurity, containing, as he justly stated, the pledged lives and fortunes of all the people of England. If the Union were adtantageous to Ire land, the O'Cow Neu, party might have been assembled in a garrett, instead of being everywhere too large to be con tained in the greatest public buildings. Let Moo r e. LATOUCHE and Co. call a public meeting in Dublin ; for the world know full well the value of hole-and-corner ad dresses; and if a PUBLIC MEETING fairly convened, should pass an address approving of the policy of the Marquis of ANGLESEY and of the Union, then we shall consider all that has passed as the work of faction. The test is easily afforded, and its importance renders it worth the trial for the people of England would be glad to ascertain the real state of feeling in Ireland. The O'Cox :JELL party have held 100 public meetings, and the ANGLESEY party might, therefore, indulge us with one. Mr. O'Coxx am. asserted that the people of Ireland were averse to the Union, and Mr. O'DOGHEILTY asserted the contrary ; this, therefore, led Mr. CONNZLL to call on the people to express them selves : was it, however, a St subject to make a State question ? One of the subjects on which the country seems to have fixed its attention, and from which it is not likely to be di verted, is THR TITHE STSTEK. Enmity in many, no doubt, arises from those doctrinal differences which now equally divide the population ; but among public men, and political economists, there is an enmity to the operation of the Tytbe System, without any to the church or clergy. It is considered to be a disadvantageous, wasteful, and im provident mode of providing for the church—worthy only of the semi-barbarous age which adopted It; but it is now con sidered that the clergy may be more respectably, and even more satisfactorily provided for, at one fourth of the cost to l the public. We confess we are of this party; and we think , I that all real friends of the church ought to be of the same I I opinion. If there are 20,000 families connected with the Anglican church, 1501. per annum would cost the country' 3 millions; or 2001. only 4 millions—a concession which the public would cheerfully yield ; but the tythe system coats the country and the cultivators five, six, or seven times this amount ! For taking the cultivated land in England, Wales, and Ireland, at only 40 millions of acres, and the produce of each acre at 71, the whole produce would be 280 millions, and the full tythes 28 millions ! The church lands, &c. are equal to 2 millions more ; and the other sources of eccladastkal revenue, another 5 millions—that is, the tythss and other church revenues cost 35 millions, whatever be the amount which reaches the clergy; and which, if often too mush, is oftener too little. Is it not evident, therefore, that in this gross amount, of 35 millions, there exist latent resources, by which gnindy to diminish the public debt, and still provide for every legitimate interest ? This is what we glean by destroying the tythe system; and, on this principle, it would seem that the best friends of the establishment ought to concur, in meeting the unequivocal wishes of the nation. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE. FRANCE. PARIS, JAW. 30.—The sitting of yesterday excited less curiosity than the day before, and it has not been more de cisive. The most evident result is, that the Chamber has employed two sittings in speech-making, without the nation un&retanding any thing but what it already knew. It is repeated unto satiety that we shall not have war, that we shall only have it in case we are provoked, that our policy is a policy of probity. As for the rest, the great questions of Belgium and Poland remain precisely at the point they did before. Nevertheless, it must be remarked, that in several of the speeches the nation was nobly put in its place. The Minister of War well expressed the difference of our actual situation to that of 1814 ; then, he said, peace was accorded by Europe to Franc.* ; at this day, it is Franca who is the arbiter of pease. M. Bignon very well demon strated that the independence and liberty of Poland had been guaranteed by the Powers, and that, in consequence, it is Russia who has violated the treatise. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has given nothing more than the day before, simple expressions of regret. The discourse of GeneraLta fayette was animated with patriotism—full of respect for the rights of the people, which has been with the illustrious General a religion al l life :it will echo through France, and even Europe.—Le Courrier Francais. The journey of M. de Flahaut to London has given rise to commentaries of more than one kind. It appeals that he wished to know the opinion of M. de Talleyrand upon a IMF combination of the Cabinet which the question of peace or war seemed to occasion. Wednesday night be already de scribed the members going out and the ministers who re mained ; but Thursday morning, when examining the ques tions stirred up by M. Mangum, the ministers recognised, to their mutual satisfaction, that it was agreed to maintain peace and the ministry, This all bas been produced by the proceedings of the opposidon.—Le Temps. POLAND. CUITILAL COMUUTTZE DI TAVOVI 01 IND _11.01.n. PARIS, JAI. 28.—Poland makes an appeal to France, France replies :—Poland 1 what French heart does not beat at the name ? She was divided, and France of the 18th century approved, by a degrading silence, the iniquity of the partition. Our revolution burst out, and at once the Poles presented themselves to serve Francs. During 20 year*, our glory was their glory ; our reverses their reverses : the French Empire experienced revolution ! Poland perished with us ! No longer liberty for her, when France was no longer free ; no more of grandeur for Poland, when France passed under the Caudine Forks of the restoration. Sad dimly we have risen ; and our cry of liberty has been re- echoed by our former brothers in arms ! Dombrowski, Kos- ciusko, Poniatowski, names which belong equally to France as to Poland ; your fellow countrymen invoke our support ; they will obtain it. Ah ! witbout doubt, the policy of States may have their rights and their rule. ; but the conscience of the people acknowledges but once the independence of nations; they know but one rule, succour to the oppressed. These are the thoughts which have directed Poland to France. A Com mittee is formed in the capital ; the presidency has in right devolved to the friend of Kosciussko; General Lafayette has tened to accept the honour. Warriors, who have seen the Poles upon the fields of battle ! Frenchmen of the revolu tion and of the Empire, who have been accustomed to look upon them as your brothers ; and you, young men, who adopt all our glories, with the enthusiasm of your age, aid us with your concurrence. There is also a sympathy which should not be wanting to this holy cause. Never have we beheld more grandeur, more patriotism than has shone forth in the Polish women ; fortune, precious gifts, all, even to their wedding-rings, is deposited upon the altar of the country.-- French women aid the Polish women. A few short months ago humanity felicitated you for your seal and devotion ; to day heroism implores you, and holds forth her hand for your patriotic gifts. The Greeks bless you ; may Poland owe to you a part of her independence and her liberty ! Signed by the Committee, viz.— irrAverra, Drums, Count de Lunnus, E. J. THATIM.

WARSAW, JAW. 17.—The battalion of Sapeurs, which is commanded by M. Edourad Maikowski, the first of the Colonels who declared for the defence of the rights of the nation, on the 29th of November, is in possession of twelve gun-boats, each armed with a piece of twelve calibre. These boats are held ready to defend the passage of the Vistula.— The Grand Duke Constantine has removed his general quarters from Lithuania into Swislocz. They write from Lublin, that five hundred prisoners have been set at liberty from the fortress of Zomosa, and that they hastened to enter the ranks of the defenders of the country. Count &ankles Zamoyski has officially declared to those en dowed with power, that he will entirely abandon to the country the domains of Jadow and Zolodziasch, which were formerly exchanged for the fortress of Zamosa, and made part of the birthright of that family. An assembly of the citizens of the circle of Warsaw have resolved to purchase landed property for the soldiers who shall most distinguish themselves in the war. There has appeared here, under the title of the IsraelitePolonais, a journal inHebrew ; 9 numbers have been already published ; it is generally regretted that it has not been accompanied by a translation, which would allow us to judge of the spirit of the journal. Count Diebitsch has already joined the army. The property of Prince Adam Czartoriski in the former Polish provinces has been confiscated. They have taken at Wilna measures of preservation against the cholera-morbus.—Gazette Alle mande de Warsaw. BASLE, JAN. 20.—Our troops have made an excursion in the valley of Sissach, and have spread into various com munes, to amours themselves of the complete return of tranquillity. Colonel Frey, seat into the valley of Reigo din yl, has given news entirely satisfactory. Not only the troops under his orders were received with joy, but even they so repossessed the Solothurn communes of the neighbour hood. of which the inhabitants had seconded the rebels, that they assisted them in order to re-establish the harmony, which had been disturbed by the late events. The greater part of the prisoners have been set at liberty. By the Dutch Mail this morning, we have the last Ham burgh Reporter, from which we give an-extract of a letter from Warsaw, dated the 20th ult. stating that the Dictator CHLOPICKI bad resigned; and that General WASSENHOTT takes the command of the army. Seeing that this intalli genes comes through the Prussia State Gazette, we are not inclined to place implicit reliance upon it : WARSAW, JAN. N.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs communicated to the assembly, in the King's name, B. M. answer to the protocol signed by the Ministers of the five great powers at London, ikh Jan. In this answer the King says, that obliged to yield to superior force. be will cause the Scheldt to be opened combo Seth Jan. but on the =edition that hostilities shall cease on the part of the Beigloos, and the siege of Maestrecht be raised, re. serving all his Majesty's rights conformably to the law of nations, and to the protocol of the Congress of Ain la Chapelle. The Minister added, that It was hoped by the King that this answer would contribute to forward the negotiations; and with respect to the proposed separation of the two pans of the kingdom, the Minister ex. pacts to be shortly able to make a communication to the Chamber. _ The Minister laid the document, which had been read, on the Presi. dent's desk. The members wbo had proposed, on the 10th November, an address to the King, requesting that his Majesty would declare the entire sepa ration between Holland and Belgium, withdrew their proposal as use less, after the communication mods by the Minister. Mesas. Collet, D'Escury, Lusa; Van Alphas, and Van Nes, spoke on the propriety of withdrawing this Forma M. Rem wished that a proposal had never been made. kt. 4pkens spoke to the same effect. At length, alter a very long debate, it waa resolved to acknowledge the receipt of the ecoununkation, and draw up an address to the King, in mower to it.
