TO FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS. ••• In the Political Department of the STAR, its Readers are aware ,hat due attention has been paid to the importance of the events pro gressing on the CONTINENT. This Paper not only presents the t•pitit of the best French Journals; but the original observations of an intelligent Correspondent in Paris. The Revolutions in BEL. GIVM, POLAND, ITALY, and SWITZERLAND, arc events which have so rapidly succeeded each other, that a Journalist has found it difficult to make his arrangements keep Imo, with his desire to gratify his readers, with the earliest information. These arrangements will not he neglected ; but, in the mean time, the conductors of the STAR invite runtrc MEN, in all countries, who desire that interesting facts and statements should, in an UNOARBLED MANNER, be laid before the British nation, to transmit the same to the STAR Office, London. They are particularly anxious to receive original communications from Poland ; and also from Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Prussia, and Austria, whether from English travellers or residents, or public-spirited natives. Hitherto the world has been hood-winked by Journals and Ga7ettes, published under arbitrary surveillance; but a genuine British Journal ought to derive its information, as far as possible, from less suspicious sources ; and this it is the determination, of the conductors q: the STAR, to effect as far as possible. H E EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, MARCH 28. A Deputation of West India Agents, consisting of Mr. BURGE, Mr. MAYERS, Mr. COLQUHOUN, and Mr. ANTHONY BROWN, had an interview this morning, with Lord GODERICH at the Colonial Office. Dispatches have this day been received by Lord PAL- M ERSTON, at the Foreign Office. from Lord GRANVILLE and Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassadors at Paris and the Hague. It will be seen by our City letter, that vague rumours are afloat this morning, of counter-revolutionary movements in Brussels, in favour of the Prince of ORANGE ; but they up pear to us totally unworthy of credit ; and the despatches received by Government this morning from Brussels, we can assure the public, are silent on the subject—although from several, in themselves, unimportant facts, mentioned in the French papers, we are sorry to suTect some incipient v ant of union in the patriotic councils. We give his Majesty's Ministers full credit for their ru woured mediation between Russia and Poland. The French papers affirm, that the severe sufferings of the Poles have been ably pressed on the notice of our Cabinet, by Lord Blt ot.o it A3l ; nail that, in consequence, instructions were lately sent to our Ambassador at Petersburg. The fact is rendered probable, by the character of this Friend of Li berty, and of our Liberal Cabinet. The French Journals insinuate, however, that the mutual exasperation is too great for either, at present. to listen to mediation. Since the victories of the Poles. and dispersion and flight tsd the Russian armies. mediation may even be less successful ; but it was a duty to offer it. For our parts we think, not only that the Poles will succeed, but that they ought to succeed, and that it is the common interest of all Europe. Ever i-ince Russia made its last acquisitions in Turkey, it has been more incumbent on Europe, to deprive so overgrown an Empire of Poland, and to render Poland the impregnable bonier of Europe. Prussia, Germany, Belgium, France, and even Britain, are interested in this measure ; and it ap pears, that very slight assistance to Poland would now effect this object. It has been remarked, that since the defeat of the Russians, the Berlin journals have evinced less hostility to the Polish cause ; may we not hope, therefore, that the King of Payssta derives independence from the success of the Poles ; and perhaps the armed neutrality, of which we heard last week, may have for its object some stand against the Russians. Polish liberty can, however, only be assured by France ; for, in that respect, we should be almost as jea lous of Prussia as of Russia itself. At any rate, the gallant resistance of the Poles, the prospect of a more extended in- ~_-- ~- miN.,...•••• surrection, and the common interest of the Powers, are, in our opinion, likely to restore this heroic country to the map of Europe. The arrival of the Estafette of this morning has not brought so many novelties from the French Press, as we are usually favoured with,from that prolific source of Continental Intelligence; and the purport of it we shall endeavour to con dense, without troubling our Readers with many long ex tracts from the different Papers. All accounts represent the Poles as hitherto successful; but we fear the following extract from Le Journal de Paris is too sound, not to be borne in mind by all who are anxious in the Polish cause : " The news from Poland is encouraging. The heroism of the Polish army has driven back the Russians from the capital. All Europe resounds with the high feats of arms which were accomplished under Praga. But we must not allow the interest raised for the Poles to slacken, and believe her saved, because she has .beew valoious. We must not deceive ourselves by forgetting, that the state of the country at this period of the year, the marshy state of the land, and the effects of the thaw, have in a great part paralysed the movements of the grand masses of the Russian army. When the marshes shall have become practicable, when the soil becomes firm, it is to be feared that Dicbitsch will rally his immense hordes. and crush with numbers, an army so admirable by its valour, but which long combats will decimate. In 1794, Warsaw, was most miraculously saved; but soon after, Kosciusko and his army sunk under the reiterated abets of the Russians. It is our duty to repeat it—Poland is lost, if European civilization by a diplomacy strong and decided, does not make the Cur know that she intends to maintain the barrier, which separates Europe from bar barism. There is glory to be acquired; new and beautiful pages in history, if we aid not the Poles; but we shall be witnesses of the most frightful spectacle—right ceding to force, and cunning triumphing over loyalty. We hope this will not be the case ; that events which are pre cipitating us towards war, may force us to be generous ; but we cannot too often repeat to the patriots of all countries, the ruin of Poland is but adjourned, if she has not succour." Such are the natural apprehensions of the real friends to the Poles ; but as yet nothing appears to check the fond hopes, that they will so follow up their present victorious career, as to do more than merely scotch the snake, but not stop till they have killed it. In corroboration of these hopes we find in these papers, that an addition of ten thousand young recruits have joined the patriotic army, and that volunteers are joining from all quarters—which is the natural result of success. The com mandant of Zamose has formed tin escadron mobile, which has proved most effectual in harrassing the left wing of the Russian army. This forco destroyed the magazines near Lublin, and principally occasioned the retreat of Gen. Kreutz. In addition to all this, which may be considered favourable, we have a paragraph from Frankfurt of the 19th March, stating that a Courier Extraordinary had brought news of the defeat of the Russian army at Plock ; and the intelli gence from Leipsic of the 17th, announces that the Poles had been successful. Wo like such news coming front such quarters. Accounts from Warsaw indicate the Diet is:about to re move from the immediate seat of war, at Warsaw to Micchow near Cracow, a mountainous district of greater security and independence, than the Champaign districts of lower Poland. If this does not diminish public confidence, it is a wise measure ; for Legislative deliberations ought not to take place amid the din of war. DIEBITSCH is now stated to be at Garlowin, instead of being in the opposite direction at Plock ; and hence it would appear that his attention is diverted from 'Warsaw, by the successes of DwERNICK I at Lublin, and in Vol hynia ; and that all his boastings end in intercepting the communications of those Palatinates with Warsaw. Pro bably the only division of his army capable of action, is that left near Praga ; and the march on Plock proved im practicable and ruinous. _____ In France the new ministry has placed itself at issue with LAFAYETTE and the patriots, by proscribing the new associ ation, and threatening with dismissal any authority which joins it. This war against public opinion cannot last long. LOUIS PHILIPPE must be King of the people, and not of a faction ; and there never existed a popular Government, so much at issue with the popular feelings, as the. present Government of France. In that country, and out of it, there is but one opinion of the conduct of successive ministries to the SPANISH, Ber.c lc, ITALIAN, and Foust! patriots. The accounts from Italy are afflicting. Austrian despotism is triumphant and uncon trolled. Just as we were going to press, we received Hamburgh papers to the 25th inst. which contain the following passage : HAMBURG, Ma.acu 25. The Prussian State Gazette of yesterday contains a semi.official letter from Siennica, the Russian head quarters, dated the lath inst. It contains an amount of several partial engagements, in which it ap pears the Russians were victorious, notwithstanding the obstinate bra. very with which the Poles defended themselves. At the village of Kralusyn, a detachment of about 1,000 Polish militiamen were attacked by four squadrons of Russian lancers. Two hundred men, including six officers, were taken prisoners, and the re mainder dispersed. Lublin has again fallen into the bands of the Russians, after having, on a former occasion, expelled the garrison left there by Gen. Smuts. The defence of the inhabitants appears to have been gallant in the ex treme, and it was not till the dismounted cavalry of the Russians had forced the barricades in the streets, that the inhabitants submitted. liamburgh Papers, March 28. By the Dutch mail this day, we have the Prussian State Gazette, to the 22d instant, containing a vague and exparte account of the Russian and Polish operations. This account, we conceive, still further strengthens the belief that the Russians are barrassed, almost beyond eudurance. The Dutch papers, to the 26th March, are not remarkable for any striking intelligence ; and a passage from the Austrian Observer, of the 17th instant,would lead us to infer, that the affairs of Italy are not so prosperous as we could wish. FROM THE POLISH LITEUANILAN FRONTIEMI ' March 17. The detachments of troops .sent out by the Russian Commander.in. Chief, have cleared the country of the Cracorites, and taken many of them prisoners. The van of the Russian Guard arrived at Raygrod on the 17th inst. The Pontoons sent to the army, passed through on the 13th. The Russians enjoy excellent health. The Polish Lieut.-Colonel Zwolniski, who came from Modlin to the army of the lawful sovereign. has been followed by almost his whole battalion. Many Polish soldiers, it is said, desert from Modlin to the Russians. Beaux, March 20, Half-past six p.as.—We have just received &Os following extract of a letter from the Russian Head-quarters, which being too late for insertion in the state Gazette, to-day, weitublish it in a supplement to be given out to-MOl7Oll mo rning. Rxtract of a letter from Sienica. March 12,1831. Since the battle of Feb. 2b, the Russian troops have continued to oc cupy the environs of Pray, sad even have their outposts in the suburb IMO PPM .. -- itself. The rebels, who are driven to 0.: ,-.late I ail: of the Vista', re. main in possession of the Tete-de-pont ; and it would have been of no use whatever to make imam& upon it. On their side an attempt was made to drive the Russians out of the houses; to set fire to the latter, and to drive a Russian detachment from the Saxon Wender ; but they were repulsed with loss, and have not repeated the attempt. The state of the Vistula,--the thaw, seldom interrupted by frost, and the weakness of the ice, have hitherto prevented the Russian troops from ;sassing the river. To lay a bridge over it would not have been advisable, as the breaking of the ice might have carried it away, by which the communications would have been interrupted : the army cut off from its resources, and exposed to want, which is to be feared in a country which has been ruined by the presence of the enemy's troops, and purposely laid waste by them. The Commander-in-chief has, therefore, resolved to remain in a poi don of observation, to distribute the- army in more extensive canton ments. and to give the troops more rest. On the 27th of February, a detachment, consisting of a brigade of infantry, a brigade of regular cavalry, two regiments of Cossacks, and eight cannon, was placed under the command of General Sacken, with directions to take men. sores for the preservation of the bridge ovtr the Bug. and to secure the arrival of the last detachments of the corps of grenadiers, which were to come by en) , of Ostrolenka and Pultusk to join the army, which they did on the 2d March. On the Ist, some hundred Cracovitcs attacked a piquet of Cossacks, some of whom were killed. At the same time, it was reported that numerous bands of militia had shown themselves at Ciechanow and Puente, and about 10,000 regular troops near Plousk. On this the corps of Oeneral Rosen was ordered to clear the country. lie sent ont strong parties to reconnoitre, but they did not find the enemy either at Ciechhanow or Prosaic. As the Poles had burnt all the bridges over the Ukra, the corps could not march to Plousk. The Fieldmershal thought it useless to under. take this expedition, and ordered the 7th corps to destroy the bridge at Zegrs, and take up its quarters at Stanislawuw. General Sacken re mains between the Bug and the Narew, to maintain tranquillity there and to preserve the magazines, in which the provisions are deposited for the subsistence of the Guards, who are advancing by the roads from Grodno and Kovno. By order of the Fieldmarelialeneral Kreuts, on our right wing, after occupying Radom, had crossed the Vistula at Tirschen, on Md Feb. after the battle of the 19th. He was not again molested by the enemy. —By accounts from Warsaw, we learnt that a column of troops had marched towards Kartschew and Gera. Hereupon the Field-marshal ordered General Count Witt, who was cantoncd at Laskarzcw with the reserve cavalry, to be ready fur battle. On the 26th two small detach. meets of cavalry at Pulawy were treacherously attacked by the Craco. rites, who, 10 concert with tile inhabitants, almost entirely destroyed them. Some days later the Field-marshal received information, that Dwernicki, with a corps of 12 or 15,000 men and 20 cannon, had passed the Vistula on the Ist. On the 2d he made an unexpected at. tack on a detachment under the command of .Major-general Raver, and caused it some loss. But the courage end presence of mind of Colunel Tukoischewski raved these troops from a pre., cipitate retreat, and they retired slowly, and in good or. der. General Kretitz, however, thought we ought not to wait in Lublin, the arrival of an enemy so greatly superior in numbers, who, beside,, might draw troops from Zamose, and organise levies in the country. He therefore retired on the road of Piaski and Kransislaw, and was on the sth beyond this town at Sychodel. On the first news of the invasion of Gen. Dwernicki, the Field Marshal ordered 13 battalious to Laskaraew, there to join the troops of Count Witt, who with his ca. valry and part of the Lithuanian cavalry of the guard, was to go to meet the enemy. On the 7th, a bridge was laid over the Wiepra, at Scharni, and on the 9th, Gen. Murawieff had already occupied Palawy. Strong parties were put out to reconnoitre in different directions, in order to obtain information of th e enemy's march. The command of all these troops was given to Count Toll, chief of the general staff, should Dwernicki have the intention, which many of his oflicers have expressed, of penetrating to Volhynia, he will pay dearly for so r as h a n at t em p t . Ile will be cut off from the Viatulle, be, taken in the flank and rear by the detachment sent in pursuit of him, and will meet the cantoned in Volhynia. The only resource he will then have left, will ,be to take refuge in Zamose. The movements of the troops, ordzted by the field marshal, has already produced its effect, and General Sierawsky, who had marched to Pulawy, with d,OOO men, in order to juin Dwernicki, and who had already advanced two marches, has been obliged precipitately to retire over the Vistula. As two Clays' incessant rain promised to hasten the breaking up of the Ice, the head-quarters have been removed to Siewnica, and the se veral corps of the anny removed to such cantonments, that it will be possible to assemble t h em , with rapidity and ease, at the point which will Mier the greatest advantages for passing over to the left bank of the Vistula. As the rebels observed that several bivouacs were desened, they thought on the 10th, that they might attempt a sally from the tele de , pant; but they were quickly repulsed by the vanguard, under the com mand of General Geismar, and lost about 100 men. Among the killed is an officer of rank, and another among the prisoners. Colonel Micielski has come twice from Warsaw to the heatl.quarters with a flag of truce, and had bosh times an audience of the Field Mar shal. The object of this mission was, to learn the conditions on which the Commander-in-Chief would consent to put an end to hostilities, by a suspension of arms. The Field Marshal required, first of all, the complete submission of the Pales to the commands contained in the Manifesto of his Majesty the Emperor. It seems that the Poles begin , to be sensible, that they cannot successfully resist the Russian arms, and must In the.end be overcome—Pritsrian State Gazette, March 22. THE Famm, MARCH 22.--In the sitting of the second Chamber of the States General to-day, the Minister of Finance laid before the Assembly, in the name of the King, the budget for 1831, in a very long speech, and accompanied by an explanatory memoir.— The Minister observed, that it was highly necessary to provide imme diately for the wants of the treasury. The projects of law which he laid before the assembly were thirteen in number, of which he proposed to begin with the 12th, which Is, to order a payment in advance of the personal tax _ _ A voluntary loan of 42 millions is proposed at 6 per cent. interest, reserved ,on the produce of the land tax, which will be deposited in the Bank of Amsterdam. The shares to be 1000 florins 080 florins only to be paid lt' . tile loan should not be filled up, there shall be a forced contribution of ,25 millions, for which bonds bearing 4 per cent interest shall be given. The minister intimated, that reckoning from 1833, the public ex penditure will not exceed 46 millions. A later protocol has been signed by the Congress at London, the object of which, it is a ffi rmed, is b etter to enforce the resolution al ready taken by the powers respecting Belgium. We hear from Flushing, that his Majesty's ship the Zeener, of 84 guns, is fitting out with all speed. Tea Haunt, [dance 24.—Prince Frederick set out 'yesterday for Breda, whence he will go to the army. Iris reported that the Prince of Orange will soon go the Luxemburg. Her Royal Highness Princess Albert of Prussia, (Princess Marianne of the Netherlands,) has sent 5,000 florins to the Minister of Finance, to be applied to the service of the State. Numerous promotions have been made in the Navy and the Army. FLoazsez, Maims 10.—The entrance of the Imperial troops into Ferrara and the Duchy of Modena, which was soon known here, has caused the greatest joy; but has inspired the rebels with such a panic terror, that most of their chiefs have taken flight. Already in the night of the 6th instant, the following fugitives arrived here:—Messrs. No bill and Del Rio from Reggio, Luigi 3lussi from Parma, and from Bo logna the new Minisier of Foreign Affairs, Bianchetti, and tour Mem bers of the Provisional Government. It seems that they have lost their courage. The Tuscan Government having intimated to them that they must leave this city, some of them have returned to Bologna, but the others are gone to Leghorn, probably to embark for Marseilles.— Audit-fan Observer, March 17. A very encouraging discovery is made, by studying the late important division. For Reform, will be found the names of a much greater portion of the old aristocracy than is observable against it; and oven if we carry our comparison out of the aristocracy of blood, and extend it to what may be called the aristocracy of wealth, we shall find, in favour of Reform, more real wealth and commercial importance, than on the other side. In fact, it requires no microscope to ascertain, that the nouveaux riches—the last war made capitalists—and the modern and pourer gentry, swelled out by professional politicians, constitute, with little more, the minority. Of course, on both sides there are some men equally conscien tious, and equally respectable in their generation. CITY, TWO (TCLOCX. The private letters by the express from Paris positively state, that Sebastiani will resign, as he still perseveres for War. The failure of a banker this morning, has not caused great excitement in the City, as it is not supposed he has stopped for a large amount, and has been doing but little business for some time past . Consols have remained steady during the morning at 7811 for the account. We have seen a letter from Holland, stating, that a dis affection prevails in the Dutch army, and that Prince Fre derick has departed for the army, in consequence of the above event. M 1•.!,..P.1.• - nPF. , ^• , -grmcwin "7""'" --- THEIR MAJESTIES. WINDSOR, MARCH 27. On Friday evening, a quarter before seven o'clock, MAJESTIES returned to the Castle. They were escorted by a detachment of the Lancers as far as Hounslow, and t i„ by a party of the Life Guards. Several carriages arrived in the course of the afternoon, containing the distinguished members of their MAJESTIES. Suite, among whom were Miss BA GOT, Miss WILSON, Sir F. WATSON, &c. Prince GEORGE, the Rev. Mr. Wool), and Colonel and Lady CAROLINE WOOD, also arrived in the evening. On Saturday, in the afternoon, their MAJESTIES drove through the environs of Virginia Water, and returned to th e Castle by St. Leonard's, at five o'clock. Their NIA.; rs tit, rode in a close carriage, drawn by four beautiful greys ; the outriders and footmen also rode on grey horses. The Landgravine of H ass E HomBERG ,Princess A I i , t: sr n Sir A. D'EsTE, and Miss SELIN, arrived at the Castle o n Saturday. This morning, at half-past ten o'clock, both regiment, marched into the quadrangle of the Castle. Shortly after wards their MAJESTIES, accompanied by the whole of thei• Royal Visitors, made their appearance at the grand entrance, when the regiments marched by in parade order and returned to their barracks. Immediately afterwards the Royal Carriages being in at tendance, their MAJESTIES rode to St. George's Chap e l, ac• companied by the LAwnonAvINE, Princess AUGUSTA, Prince GEORGE., Miss WILSON, Miss BAGOI', and Sir A. D'ESTE. The Service was performed by the Hon. and Rtr. W. CUST, the Canon in residence. At three o'clock their MAJESTIES, with the whole of their distinguished Visitors, drove into the Park, proceeding by the Long Walk, and round by Virginia Water and the Bel videre, and returned to the Castle at five. The military bands played on the New Terrace this after noon to a fashionable company. OLYMPIC THEAfRE. This house closed on Saturday night, after a very profit able season. The following address was spoken by Madame VESTRIB : " Ladies and Gentlemen—The last night of our little season has already arrived, and I appear before you to lay farewelL At its commencement I had recourse to poetry, in my Address to you, the better to describe the hopes and fears which actuated me. Cie eumstanai are now changed. 1 have tried, and I have succeeded.— (Load applause from all parts of the house.)—Fiction must, therefore, be laid aside; and truth, in its own honest prose, express the heart. felt gratitude of the first female lessee. Woman is said to be a contra. diction. This I, for one, dare not deny : for I own I stand here a tho roughly contented manager. (Applause.) We have done the has which the suddenness of the undertaking permitted—to deserve your imp. port. We have produced various new pieces, some of which have bun eminently successful—none of which have failed We have introduced to you several new faces, whom three short months have served to eon. vert into old friends. Thus much I may speak for the past—the future shall speak for itself. I leave you with the sincerest wishes of a grateful heart for your health and happiness until our next October meeting; and when the gloom of winter shall again be on your heads, come to the Olympic, and it shall go hard bu• we will kindle a summer of merriment in your hearts. At all events. no exertion shall be spared on my part to win from you an admission that " the women arc the best managers after all." (Loud cheering.) I have now only to offer you the sincere thanks of the performers gene rally for the kind encouragement they have met with. Be assured they all feel it as they ought. In fact, Ladies and Gentlemen the HEART of the Establishment Is full. and the HEAD of the Establishment is here to say so. As Fanny Bolton, the Captain of Grenadiers (placing her hand to her forehead,) I salute my company in the pit ; as Julian the Page I pay my respectful duty to the boxes; and as Pandora I drop my curtsey to the gods." Madame VESTILIS then curtsied three times and retired. the audience giving her three rounds of applause. HIGHI INDON. The Anniversary Dinner of this Society, in celebration of the victor' at Alexandria, was held on the 21st inst. at the Freemason's Tavern. when the Right Hon. Lord Saltoun, the President, took the Chair. His Lordship was supported by Sir Augustus D'Este, General Sir John Malcolm, G.C.B. Alajor-General Lewis Grant, Governor of Trinidad. and other distinguished members of the Society, Chiefs of Clans, and Officers of the Army; the majority of the company appearing in uni form or in the Highland garb. Upwards of 50 Gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous entertainment.
