This day Despatches were received at the Foreign Office, from their Excellencies Lord Viscount GRANVILLE, our Minister at Paris, and from Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Minister at the Hague. Despatches were also received at the Colonial Office, from Major General Sir JAMES LYON, Governor of Bar badoes, dated the 16th of January ; and from Saint Thomas's, dated Ist of February. All the intelligence in the papers of this morning, from Italy, was fully detailed to the public in the STAR of the 28th ult. We gave an official copy of the capitulation of Ancona. ond advance of tho patriots from Bologna, that day—on the tenth—after the capitulation was executed ; and the intelligence has been quoted from the STAR into most of the provincial papers. Our morning cotemporaries are at last publishing surmises from Vienna, received second hand from the Paris Journals, that the event alluded to was likely to have taken place about the 17th ultimo ! The last advices, via Belgium, are on the evening of the 22d. The Poles were then concentrated a few miles in front of Warsaw, and appear to have repulsed every attack of the barbarians, whose numbers are inconsiderable, when opposed to an entire population, and some corps of the best troops in the world. It is horrible to read of 3,000 Poles killed and wounded, and of 9,000 of the enemy, in a contest about the fulfilment of a contract, in which the powers of Europe are either actual or virtual parties. It is more horrible to witness that ascendancy of malignity, which led .to a winter campaign, utterly regardless of the consequent waste of life ; and we are willing to hope that its frustration will be an example to all tyrants. A few days will relieve our feverish anxiety on the subject. The situation of Warsaw, when the last accounts left tha city, creates an intense anxiety in every man whose heart is in the right place. The Poles demand the Constitution of 1815, signed by ALEXANDER, and guaranteed by the Congress of Vienna, but grossly violated in every article. It placed Poland, as to Russia, exactly in the situation of Ireland as to England, but under guarantees. Is it not then the bounden duty of the great Powers to interfere, if they respect the provisions of the Congress, to insist on the Constitution ; but if they abandon the Congress, then revert to justice and policy, and restore Poland to perfect independ ence ? A small British fleet, or British and French fleet, in .possession of Hoogland, or Cronstadt, would soon enforce reasonable terms for the Poles. We have a variety of continental Papers this day, tho contents of which, on the present momentous occasion, will be read with interest. The extracts are as follow : HANOVER, FED. 23. The appointment of the Dike of Cambridge to the post of Viceroy of Hanover, has caused great joy here. We learn that his RoyalHigh neu has received very extensive powers, so that he will be able to de cide in most of the cases which were formerly referred to London. The German Chancery in London will consequently be abolished. Count Munster will retire from public life. General Count Von Alten is ex pected to be appointed Field Ilanhal and Commander in Chief of our army, in the room of his Royal Highness. Duke William of Bruns wick is expected here to-day on a visit. GOTTINGEN, Jaw. 21. The Academic Senate has given notice, that the 11th April la dxcd fur resuming the lectures, which have been interrupted since the Bth January, but that the summer lectures are to commence in the last week of 4111. About IMO students are still here. BERLIN, Fan. 25. Accounts from Warsaw of the 22d say, that on that day there had ' not been any action in the army beyond Praga, and that it was the corps of General Pahlen which had fought en the preceding days at Grochow, which, however, bad fallen back en the main army. BERLIN, Fzi. 26. We have in vain expected farther news from Warsaw by today's post. It teems that the people in Warsaw were still in the dark re specting the real state of sEsirs, but they were in some measure easier, as the danger was supposed to be averted for the present. The accounts from the Russian -quarters, which used to succeed each other ra pidly, have not been received fur some time. We learn from Warsaw that General Unimski had succeeded in going from Glogsu to Warsaw, whence he proceeded on the 20th to the head-quarters. The Polish Diet bas declared itself permanent,—has fixed the mini. mum of the number of members necessary to constitute the Assembly,— declared the installing of new authorities in the provinces occupied by the enemy, to be null and void,—and has resolved, in case of use:- pecied events, to remove to a foreign country. WARSAW, F in. 24 • _ _ _ On the 21st and 22d, no hostilities took place on the right bank of the Vistula. On the first day, some of the outposts came to blows, but a white flag was sent by the Russians, which led to a parley be tween the Russian and Polish Generals, in the course of which an armistice was agreed upon, for the purpose of burying the dead. The armistice still continues, and our fore posts and those of the enemy pus quietly in front of each other. People here suspect the Russians of intending, by this arrangement, to gain time to strengthen their position, and to obtain fresh supplies of provisions'and ammunition. On the other hand, it is generally thought that if the Russians plunge into our forests, they will be likely to be lost in the marshes, which may every day be expected to become less secure, as the spring weather makes itself more and more felt. in the battle of the 20th our artillery behaved extremely well, and inflicted severe loss upon the enemy, many of whose cannon were completely dismounted. From the palatinate of Autzustowo we learn, that ZA. liviNkt has organized a guerilla warfare against the Russians.—Ham- March 1. burg Iteporter, BERLIN, FEB. 27. The latest number of the Silesian Journal of 25th Feb. received here says It is confirmed that Inc left wing of the Russian army under General Kteuts has crowd the Vistula and occupied Radom. HAMBUROH, FEB 26. It was reported in Warsaw on the 21st, in the afternoon, that the Russians had commenced their retreat after losing 8,000 men, and :W pieces of cannon. But on the other hand it was reported, that Fi.ld. Marshal Diebitsch, with the main army, had taken no part in the ac tion. A great number of wounded were brought into the city during the 40 hours combat, which was seen from the roofs and steeples of the city. HANOVER. FEe. 28.

Montreal papers to the 11th; Quebec papers to the 9th ultimo; and Buenos Ayres papers to the 12th December, are received this day, at the North and South American Coffee House. Their contents are very unimportant. From the latter we give the latter from the agorae uf ale Coffee-house, dated the 17th December ; The Revolution in the Province of Entrerios, of which I informed you in my last, was to favour the Unitarian in terests; and a great blow was expected to be struck from thence against the Federals, in concert with the military, from the provinces of the interior, under the orders of General Paz, the Governor of Cordova. The downfal of the Federal Government of Buenos Avres was confidently predict ed by the Unitarian party, but affairs have somewhat changed. within the last few days, or, as you would say in England, " the cat has assumed another colour." A counter revolu tion has taken place in Entrerios, the Unitarians have been ejected, and the soi-disant Unitarian Governor (Ricardo Lopez Jordan) has been obliged to fly for his life. We are entirely in the dark respecting the movements in the interior, no letters having been received for the last three weeks, it is supposed that the post has been stopped; there fore, whether General Paz has put himself in inforcement, or whether he has thought better of it, a few days will pro bably determine. _ In the meantime the Government of Buenos Ayres has made every preparation to meet the storm, and to disappoint the predictions of its enemies. A flotilla was despatched to the river Maguey, under the command of Captain Coe. (an American.) The regiment defeusores de Buenos Ayres, commanded by Col. Felix Alzaga, has proceeded a few miles out of town, for the purpose of discipline. This corps has been recently formed, and is composed of black men, slaves, &c. Their officers are mostly of the mulatto caste, hare served against the old Spaniards in Peru, &c. and are devoted to the present government. Soon after our present Administration came into power' we gave, in a series of articles, our sentiments on the subject of Parliamentary Reform ; and if any of our Readers have done us the honour to recollect wLat we then stated, they will at once perceive, that the measure which is now proposed extends as far as we have ever desired. We are delighted to see the unanimity which prevails, in expressing the approbation and gratitude due to our Patriot Km°, and his virtuous Ministers. We would anxiously, however, impress on the public mind, the fact that the enemy is not asleep ; and that one of the stratagems by which he will attempt to dis turb that unanimity, which be sees must prove fatal to his hopes, is to represent the Reformers as not satisfied—as actually looking farther than the limits of the proposed measure. We would anxiously caution the Friends of Reform, to advocate general resolutions in favour of the admirable measure proposed. CITY, ONE O'CLOCE. Consols which left off on Saturday at 7511 for the Ac count, opened at 75f 76; but the moment the failure was known they receded to 75i, and at present are 75p.

NI:WS FROM THE THEATRE OF WAR. PARIS. 61. tacit 6. We find the following article in Le Temps : •' A Government courier is said to have brought the news of the entrance of the Russians into Warsaw, after a dreadful carnage, which increased in the city, where they fought with the greatest fury." WARSAW, FRB. 21, 11 o'clock, S.M.-1. must give you news of the fight of my unfortunate country. The war be gan on the 14th of this month, when, in a small affair, General Dwernicki took eleven pieces of cannon, with horses and baggage, with 230 prisoners. In several skirmishes kind Heaven gave us the victory ; but the most essential affair has now occurred : our commander de-1 signedly allowed the enemy to approach within a league of Warsaw, and the battle, which still lasts, began on the 19th, at six o'clock in the morning. During these two days, we have been continually advancing ; we have already a great number of wounded, but on the other side the carnage has been terrible ; at the same time we are as yet unable to state any thing decisive. We can distinctly see the field of battle from the city, and the continual firing of the cannons. You can easily imagine our foelings, at seeing blood flow below our city, for the fate of our unhappy country; but what can we do ? To-morrow we shall be lost or saved. P.S. Noon.—A second report from General Dwernicki has just arrived; we believe there are now no Russians on the right bank of the Vistula. The postcript here refers to an advantage gained by Gen. Dwernicki over a Russian corps commanded by Geismar, which had passed the Vistula at Pulawy, the march of which inspired serious anxiety at Warsaw•. WARSAW, FEB. 21.—1 t is now under the walls of War saw that our army is every day fighting. General Die bitsch is at the head of the Russian masses, which marched the routes of Siedler, and Wengrow. The Polish army, unable to resist these masses, has been concentrated since the 17th around Praga. The Russians are strongly established in the forests, situated at a little distance. They accept partial combats without wishing for a general engagement. The Poles endeavour to draw them into the plain, but then they real) into the woods, where the cavalry cannot pursue them, and where they are besides protected by a formidable artillery. In these different battles the advantage is all on the side of the Poles ; but it is to be feared that numbers will at last prevail. The loss of the Russians is estimated at ten thousand men. Several hundreds of prisoners have been brought to the city, along with about one thousand wounded Poles. The Polish Gen. Dwernicki, who, after a brilliant engagement, passed the Vistula at Gore, to stop the march of the Prince of Wurtem berg, has had with him, near Koziennice, a battle, in which ho repulsed him, and took several cannon.— This prince is under the orders of another Russian ge neral, named Kreutz, but no other is mentioned but himself. lie is the horror of Poland, because he was born in Poland, and because he deserted, at the insurrection, a brigade of Polish Lancers whom he commanded, although he is the nephew of Prince Adam Czartoriski. It is impossible to paint the heart-rending spectacle which Warsaw presented on the 19th. The anxiety produced by the battle, which was seen from all points commanding the Vistula, and the zeal of the inhabitants standing round the waggons of the wounded to offer them assistance. The work of erecting the interior barricades was interrupted, and it is thought that if the Polish army, yielding to numbers, is finally driven back, this unfortunate city will only attempt a useless resistance, tie consequences of which terrify the imagination. The battle which was generally expected began on the 19th, near Groucho, at ten o'clock in the morning, and lasted till six o'clock in the evening. The most terrible of the firing took place between two and four o'clock. In the evening, General Clicki published that be had received from head-quarters news that our army had fought with the great eat bravery. During the whole of the day it had not lost a single inch of ground, and it killed a great number of the enemy. The field of battle remained in our power. The whole of yesterday they were employed in bringing to War saw wounded Poles and Russians, as well as Russian pri soners. In the two armies 340 pieces of cannon were in action. It is supposed that the enemy has lost 10,000 men. At one o'clock two regiments of Russians, picked men, advanced to wares our line. The 4th Regiment of the line, and the Ist of Light Infantry, charged them with the bayonet, and the charge was so terrible and bloody, that of the two Russian regiments, scarcely 20 men escaped. The General has sent to the National Government two stand of colours and two cannon. It would appear that, besides the 2nd battalion of Grenadiers which has been dispersed, and some squadrons of the 4th Regiment of Chasseurs, we have not suffered much. The enemy retired for the night to the surrounding woods of Miiosna. To-day, at 8 o'clock a. m. the canon ade began, and has continued till 7 o'clock in the evening. The results are not yet known. It is certain, however, that our soldiers have gained ground, in spite of the strong cannonade of the Russians. The Russians have again retired into the woods. To-morrow, the third day, the battle will be renewed.—Extract from the Official Journal. NEWS FROM THE LEFT BANK OF TIIE VISTULA.— A corps of Cossacks, composed of 8,000 men, passed the Vistula, near Pultawa, and had advanced to Radom. Gen. Dwernicki met with the corps of Gen. Kreutz between Ko zienice and Gnicwoszow, at the commencement of the action, and took from them 6 pieces of cannon, and made 200 pri soners. We do not as vet know the results. We ass w, Feb. 21.—The National Government has pub lished the following proclamation : " ' As the Polish army, in consequence of the engage ments which it has had with the enemy, will probably ad vance to cover the capital, the National Government has thought it its duty to secure it from a demonstration of the enemy, and to place it in a state to make a vigorous resist ance. It has therefore decreed— " 1. From. this day, the 19th of February, the city of Warsaw is declared in a state of siege. " 2. The Governor of the city is invested from this time with all the military powers, as if be commanded in a place of war. " 3. The civil and military authorities, as well as the in habitants of Warsaw, are held to obey the order of the Go vernor for the arming or the defence of the city, on pain of suffering according to military laws. " 4. The persons of the senators, of the deputies, and of foreign Consuls, the halls of their sittings. and the houses of the above-mentioned persons, are placed beyond the power of the Governor." EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED WARSAW, FEB. 17. In the only two instances of the Russian invaders and the Polish defenders of their liberty having fought, the Poles have conquered. Official accounts of this successful coin- mencement having reached Warsaw, affords universal joy, and enables me to give you the following details ; General Dwernicki, and the brave Poles under his com mand, attacked General Geismar's corps in the rear, at Serocsyn, near Slocek, on the Vistula. The Poles fought like lions, killed 400 of the enemy, including 1 Lieutenant- Colonel of artillery, and I Major, took 230 prisoners, in cluding 2 Captains, 1 Lieutenant, 2 Ensigns ; seized many horses, a large supply of ammunition, and took elcven pieces of cannon, five of which they imm ediately; turned against the enemy. The Polish artillery worked so well, that they soon dismounted five of the enemy's cannon. The Poles lost one assistant-surgeon, and fifteen men killed, and eighteen wounded, among whom were Major Rogan, Lien tenant 7,alkowski, and Second Lieuts. Ratlowanski, s lynski, Krzyzanowski, and Raczynski. The major 101 I h„ attack on two regiments and a battery of artillery. The v•;.,1, ness,_intrepidity, and enthusiasm of the young Poli s h , o kli ota just formed, excite the greatest astonishment, and nwriL th, highest praise ; the first fire of the Russian artillery fell 64 ~ battalion of the Ist regt. of Polish foot, commanded 1,, Lieut.-Col. Rychlowski, killed several of his men, but did no t create the least confusion in the square which they I nd formed, the places of those who fell in front wer e di. ately filled up by those in the rear, and all continue,! to in the national song of Dombrowski.'

Further particulars respecting this second alai; I will give you in my next, when I hope to be able to girt you an account of a more general battle near Warsaw, whi c h our army is preparing for with the greatest energy." Waastw, FEs. 22.—The Warsaw Gazette says—Yesterday I. • movement took place in the army. Exertions arc making In the e.ipi. tal to prepare a kind and humane reception for the Russian prisoLers. One of their officers, who was taken at Scroczyn, is stated to have bet., present on the 19th, at the sitting of the Diet, and conversed a long nun with the poet Niemeewits. The Warsaw Casette, in an extraottlinan supplement to its Number of this day, gives the following official bill:. tin of General Morawski, sent to the National Government, dated frau, Praga yesterday: " The Government is probably impatient for news h - e the army, but the Generals are not able immediately to draw up tik reports, because they are engaged from the morning early till late at night. The army of the nation fights within sight of the capital, so that it may convince itself with its own eyes how obstinately every foot of ground is defended. Thousands of dead bodies cover the field ef battle, and what is very uncommon, the infantry takes the standarl: from the infantry. Our artillery distinguishes itself extremely. The in. fantry stands like a wall, and with the bayonet the enemy can make no impression on it. The cavalry has maintained in every action its ancient reputation. All the commanders give proofs of uncommon skill, and the soldiers of great valour. [Here follows an extract from the re• port of General Ccunt Krukowiecki respecting the battle of the 19th._. The General promises more complete details of the battles of the 19th and 20th, as soon as he has received the accounts front the othet Generals.] The Warsaw State Gazette gives the following news, dated the 21st : • Yesterday evening put us in mind of the first days of our revolution. In all the squares and streets troops were posted, who sat round their Ares singing warlike songs. This precaution was adopted, because tht lee on the Vistula at some points below iVarsaw is still strong cnougl: for the light cavalry to pass over, and General Diebitsch might easily surprise the capital by this means. The battle yesterday was of less importance. The artillery, it is true, maintained a pretty long can. nonade, but the tire of the musketry was not violent. The loss on Ixsti, sides was inconsiderable. Our fore posts are beyond the yesterdze, scene of action.' The Polish and Warsaw GossWs of the 21st, contain the follow ing particulars of the two preceding days : " The evening herore yes terday, we could easily see by the flashes of the cannon at the edge of the wood towards Okuniew, that our left wing took the enemy in flank. The Russians, in fact, retired into the forest from which their columns had issued in the morning. Wounded and prisoners continued to be brought into the city till late at night. The battle was fought beyond Mawr, at the outskirts of the wood. Our right wing extended to the marsh, near the Saxon Werder ; the left extended to the road, lead. big to Okuniew. The Russians brought superior masses of infantry into action. Our cavalry did great service against their squares. General Lubinski is said to have executed a very skilful cavalry attack ; and General Chlopicki to have been for seven hours in the hottest fire. Yesterday morning, at 9 o'clock, the battle was continued. The whole of the enemy's lire was drawn out, and the battle lasted till towards evening. Our troops drove the enemy out of the wood, and took 12 pieces of cannon. Our loss in killed and wounded in these twc sanguinary days is stated at 3,090 men, and that of the enemy at thrice the number."—Prussian Male Gazette, I•'sb. 27. BELGIUM. " BRUSSELS NATIONAL CO NORESS.—Sivrixo or MAacii2. The Electoral law was discussed, and several articles adopted. M. de Ribaulx desired to be informed whether the Ministry had received any communications which gave reason to imagine that war would break out. N. de Brouckere.—Since the dissolution of the le gisheive Committee, 1 do not know of any new Protocol; as for die probabilities of war, we know no more of it than you. Italy is in a state of insurrection ; Austria is arming to subdue It; and France is resolved to maintain the principle of non. intervention. On the other hand, the Prussian armies ea the Rhine are already provided with their field-equime. This is certainly enough to give ground for precaution—The Minister of Finance said that though he could not affirm that war would break out, yet if it were declared it would then be too late to provide funds : therefore we must think of this beforehand. The Government every day experiences new financial difficulties. The speaker said he had done every thing to effect a loan, and if he succeeded he would inform the Congress.—M. Brouckcre then read a project of law for a loan of 12,000,000, and, if that does not succeed, to be authorized to sell domains to the value of 7 000,000. The project of law was sent to the sections..- The sitting of the 3d of March was occupied with the conclusion of the Electoral Law, which was adopted by 101 to 31. Al. Ch.

PARIS, Masai 3.—Yesterday evening the National Guard ap peared in arms in several quarters of Paris, and the following is an accurate account of the events which gave occasion to this display of force, of which events the journals could give only an imperfect detail. About half-past six o'clock an assemblage of 1,200 or 1.300 men, which had formed itself in the vicinity of the Town-hall, appeared in the quartet of the Palais Royal, preceded by a tricoloured flag, taken from one of the houses of the Place de Greve. " Bread ! Work 1" Such was the cry of the men who made part of this troop, and most of whom were in a state of complete intoxication. The gates of the Palace were instantly closed. The National Guards on duty turned out, and many others hastened to the spot on the first signal. The General-in-Chief being informed of what was passing, ordered a part of the reserve of the staff to marsh, and in a few moments the assemblage was dispersed, the flag seized, and the ringleaders arrested and conveyed to the Corps de Garde of the Palais Royal. A detachment of the National Guards of the first Legion, which was the first that arrived at the spot, contri buted very powerfully to put down this new attempt to excite disor der, as well as the arrests which took place, and zealously seconded the company of Chasaeurs, of the Bth Legion, which was then on duty at the Ring's Palace, and displayed on this occasion very great zeal and firmness. At eight o'clock order was entirely re stored, and nothing remained of this momentary disturbance but a proof of the impotency of the agitators. Only two battalions were ordered out, one of the Ist and one of the 2d Legion, and if numerous forces appeared, it is only to be ascribed to the admirable and constant zeal of the National Guard,--a seal which has more need of being re pressed than excited. The rappel, which was beat in several quarters, also caused this extraordinary show of force, and this measure was adopt ed in some legions inertly after the example of the 4th, which had been directed in this respect by the mayor of the arrondissement, who, in his solicitude for the public tranquillity, mistakingly judged this mea sure necessary, and required it by his own authority SPIRIT OF THE JOURNALS. Tzmis.—ln the destruction of the close borough system, therefore, we say, as a reply to the Duke of Wellington, that the people of Eng land, who have a respect for monarchy, and who love their King, will be secure of such a control over th e Administration as must greatly Im. prove, and therefore strengthen, their "monarchi ca l go ver n me nt ;" and, .o answer to the borough advocates in the House of Commons, we assert, 1. That men of worth and ability will be sought after by the people to be their counsellors and the protectors of their rights in Parliament. with as much diligence and succ ess as t h e y now are by patron.lords, for purposes far less respectable. 2. That imbecile and insignificant coxcombs, who have hitherto beer. accustomed to fall asleep on the back benches, or employed to cough and groan down men of such eminence as the Lord Advocate of Scot land, foe speaking wisdom, which they could not comprehend, will be extinct for ever. 3. That the amp siondned of ability and character, as well as in. dependence, in the Home of Commons, wiU be raised beyond all com parison with proseNs. them 4. That the Velma whationey themselm will be driven to • mom imam and mealy cultivation of their intellectual powers, and to • men moist elnuivence of those severe laws of decency and duty, with out as tipemitt mead to which it is happily impossible for any man in an ammtunity to enjoy respect or confidence.
