AUGUST 2.—Travelling westward from Felkeqone, a walk of less than haq an hour brought me to the little town of Sandgate. There are two roads leading there, one a carriage road close to the beach, and another, a footpath, high above, that fellows the windings of the cliffs. I preferred the latter. It was still very early when I lett Folkestone. The tide was wit, and the air quiet and heavy ; but as I walked on, the tide turned, and a emart see: breeze sprang up that brought with it a dense mist from the surface of the Channel. So thick was the fog that I could see it rising up around the cliffs, ',he smoke curling up from a cot tage chimny. The subdued roar of the wares began te make itself heard in the distance ; it seemed as though the sea were sending its "good morrow" to the shore. None seemed abroad at that early hour be sides myself and a lady, who was eagerly &Fathering sprigs of the wild canvolvulus that abounds among the cliffs. I sat down upon a stile made out of the axle tree of an old cart, to await the clearing, for I could hardly see where my path lay. The mist soon passed overhead to settle down upon the hills beyond, and the atmosphere became so transparent that I could dis tinctly see the shores cf France. Before descending int.) the town of Smdgete, I passed one of the numer ous Masten° towers that grew up in 1803 under our fear of the French invasion, but the walls of which the entente cordiale has allowed to crack and burst with impunity, while the fosse is turned into a kitchen garden for the benefit of some pensioner who holds the sinecure of watching the building. Sand gate itself seems chiefly remarkable, as far as I was enabled to judge, for its number of desolate-looking empty houses, from whose dirty windows large weird placards arc constantly, but unsucceqsfully, enticing the unwary passer-by to "apply over the way for further particulars." The town was last year rather severely visited by cholera, which circumstance, together with the proximity of the camp, has made it lose caste in the eyes of the sea-shore visitors. Another characteristic— not of the nature of the place, but of the times—is pre sented by the toy, stationery, sweetmeat, and millinery shop and post-office, where sundry English grammars for Germaus, and German and English dictionaries, are awaiting purchasers, while an advertisement in a large, firm Saxon hand, states that within English is taught upon the newest and most approved principles, and terms of the utmost moderation. Leaving the beach at Sandgate, a shady lane between parks and fields, leads up to the extensive grassy plateau upon the cliffs, where the Foreign Legion is encamped in rows of wooden and iron huts, formin g three sides of a parallelogram, the fourth unoccupied side being the westward one. The huts are not visible from be low, so that the first sign of the vicinity of the camp is given by the dark outline of a sentry standin g out boldly against the blue sky above, as paces back ward and forward on the ridge of .he hill. It was a rifleman, in his plain dark dress and Albert hat, with a true open German face, sunburnt and beard, d. The whole place is now surrounded by a cor don of sentries, to guard against desertion, which was not the case when I was here last ; but the fact that no case coul I he made out at the Maidstone Assizes against the man Hills, although it is notorious that he induced several men to desert, coupled with the other fact that there is still skulking about the camp another fellow, suspected of similar practices, and understood to be an agent of Hills, but against whom they cannot as yet prove anything, has put the authorities on their guard. Strict discipline is kept, and no man is allowed to leave the camp. Measures of such doubtful policy naturally excite a good deal of murmuring, but they are only the natural consequence of the manner in which some of these men have been enlisted. As your correspondent justly re• marks, if we give a premium for desertion we cannot expect that the deserter will be true to us. The inno cent suffer with the culprits. The Rifles will tell you with pride that they have lost no one by desertion, ex cept a half crasy student of theology, who has already returned voluntarily. But they have a great advantage over other regiments. They are almost all from the same part of Germany, Hanover, and North Prussia. Most of them are tried soldiers, who have seen war under the same officers who command them now ; sub mission to camp discipline falls, therefore, less heavily upon them. The north side of the camp is occupied, going from east to west, by the artillery, the cavalry, and the Rifles. The artillery corps left yesterday morning it is said for London, and it is not known whether they will return. The cavalry consists at present, lam told, of about three hundred men, only one hundred of whom are in uniform, in consequence, I am informed, of 100 of the suits sent down having been found too small. Tile others exercise in blouses, dress-coats, and smock-frocks, and every description of hat, from a Gibus down to a wide-awake. The men naturally wonder how it is that in this country, of whose enormous riches, and of whose skilful manufacturers they have.heard so much, it takes such an enormous time to make 300 suits of clothes, and that in the end they turn out too small. But the most amusing—or perhaps I should say the most scandalous—part of their story is, that their sabres are not yet provided with the necessary straps and buckles, so that the men go through their exercise with their sabre in one hand and the sheath in the other. The reason for this extraordinary delay I have not been able to discover—perhaps there is no reason. The whole of the Legion stationed here were on parade when I arrived, they amount at present to somewhat over 2,000, and are certainly a fine-looking body of men. The drill was hardly over, and the men might have been half an hour in their huts, whensuddenly the call sounded "to arms in march ing order." After a good deal of hurry and bustle, and scolding and swearing, the men were at last ready, the order to march was given, and the whole Legion set out towards a high steep hill about two miles from the *ore, half-way between Folkestone and Sandgate, known as Caesar's Camp. Part of the Legion were to defend this hill, the rest to attack and take it. It was all very fine and rather nonsensical ; to take men who had only received their arms a week ago away from the drilling they so much require to attack and defend a position made almost unassailable by nature alone, seemed ra ther misplaced activity ; and the disorder that pre vailed throughout, in spite of the efforts of the aides-de-camp, who carried messages indiscriminately to friend and foe, did not tend to increase the thebenefit the soldiers were intended to derive from this manoeuvre. Unfortunately, the display was attended by an accident of a serious nature. Major Rodowitz, a highly-esteemed officer, fell with his horse on the uneven ground, broke his foot, and received besides a bad wound in the head. A good deal of powder was blazed away, and the men returned to camp at a late hour of the evening. Owing to the circumstance of the field-day, I had not, of course, much opportunity of seeing the internal management of the Legion, but in my next I hope to be able to give you some interesting information.

It Li A YIE T. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' Amendments to the following bills were considered and agreed to :—The Great WeAern and Brentford Railway, Stakes Bay Railway and Pier, and Westminster Im provement MERTON COLLEGE ESTATE BILL. This bill was read a third time and pawed. Mr. HADFIELD presented petitions from a total abstinence society in favour of the Beer Act of last session. Mr. BROTFIERTON presented a petition from Black burn against the Accidents on Railways Bill. SUPPLY. Mr. FITZROY brought up the report of the com mittee of supply. Sir F. BARING objected to the proposition for re tired allowances, considering them far too large, and totally uncalled for. It was true that many officers had done great service, but he could not see the necessity of rewarding them so liberally. Sir D. NORREYS considered the proposition for re tired allowances totally uncalled for, and one which never ought to receive the sanction of Parliament. Mr. MACARTNEY deprecated the unjust way in which retiring allowances were made ; men that had performed perhaps some of the most important offices of the State were rewarded by the mere nominal allow ance, while others who had done little or nothing for the good of the country were rewarded far beyond their deserts. These were facts that gave great diecrintent to the country, and was calculated to bring any Alinistry that supported them into contempt. He was in hopes that in another session the right hon. hart the member for Portsmouth would bring forward some specific measure on this important subject. Mr. WILSON defended the Treasury minute, believ ing that it had not been made without, duo considera tion as to the operation of the Superannuation Act. It only applied to persons who were incapacitated by ago or ill health for performing their duty. All that had taken place had been done with the full authority of an Act of Parliament, with a large consideration for the public interest. By the payment to the parties of about £2,000, upwards of £ll,OOO would be saved to the public. _ _ _ Mr. F. FRENCH contended that gross injustice had been done to many parties, which ought to be remedied. The proposition was then agreed to. Seine other objections were made to the bringing up of the report, which, after some discussion, were with drawn. The report was then agreed to, and the house went into committee on THE LUNATICS ASYLUM (IRELAND ADVANCES) BILL. On clause 1, Colonel DUNNE moved an amendment to the effect that a certified copy of the returns to the governors of such asylum shall he sent to the grand jury of each of the associated counties connected with the asylum, and if any difference arose as to the cost of the erection, enlargement, or construction &c., of such buildings to be referred to the Lord-Lieutenant, who shall appoint a commission unconnected with the Board of Works to examine and report thereon. Ho complained of questions of this importance being brought forward at so late a period of the session that it could not be pro perly discussed, and when most of the Irish members had left. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had no objection to the first portion of the amendment, but considered the latter uncalled for. Mr. WCARTNEY supported the amendment. Mr. F. FRENCH hoped the hon. and gallant gentle. man would not press his amendment. He thought the words, " not connected with the Board of Works" tended to cast a slur on that department. The amendment was withdrawn, but ultimately the first portion of the amendment was agreed to, and the clause amended. On clause 6, Colonel DUNNE moved another amendment, to the effect that the commissioners for this act should not be the Commissioners of the Board of Works, but ulti mately withdrew it. The other clauses of the bill were agreed to, and the bill passed through committee. [LEFT SITTING.] ADULTERATION OF FOOD. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE (THIS DAY.) The committee, which adjourned from Wednesday until to-day, at half past 12 o'clock, had not formed a quorum when our report was despatched. Mr. Schole field, the chairman, was, however, present. The witnesses in attendance were Dr. Leithby, of the London Hospital, who brought with him a large number of specimens of adulteration in drugs, confec tionery, &c. ; and Mr. J. Postgate, M.R.C.S., of Bir mingham, whose examination is not yet concluded. RUSSIA AN.D THE WESTERN POWERS: The following is the Times Paris correspondent's letter, dated yesterday, 6 p.m. : " The fact I announced yesterday of the departure of General Letang for Vienna is confirmed. He leaves Paris this evening. The reason I assigned for this journey is also confirmed ; it is in conse quence of a communication received ' from the Em peror of Austria addressed to the Emperor of the French, and following close on the letter which was addressed by the Einpress Dowager of Russia to the Archduchess Sophia. It is of course difficult to ascertain the contents of a private communication addressed by one Emperor to another, but there are certain indications which lead one to suppose that they refer to propositions contained in the letter to the Archduchess. It is believed that the terms of the letter of the Empress Dowager are more sig nificant and more important than I supposed ; and though I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the statement that Russia now expresses her willingness to accept the propositions of the Western Powers, as interpreted by them on the limitation question, it is, nevertheless, extremely probable, from all I learn, that she appears to be much more reasonable than hitherto. We have had, however, sufficient proof of the bad faith of that Power, as well as of the timidity and not over-honourable conduct of Austria, not to be extremely cautious of opening any new negotiations." SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH CABLE.—The remainder of the submarine telegraph cable required to complete the communication to Algiers, via Corsica and Sardinia, has just been shipped from the manufactory at Greenwich.lt is 162 miles in length, containing six conducti ng wires, and weighing 1,2 50 tons. It will be laid, from the southernmost point of Sardinia to the coast of Africa, near Algiers, and is regarded by the parties connected with the undertaking as the commencement of a line to India and Australia, via Malta We . COMMODORE HENDERSON.— bear from Port Roy i al that Commodore Henderson , the second n command of the West' India station, has sent to the . Admiralty his resignation in consequence of continuous ill-health. Lord:John Russell has been detained n London by parliamentary business, and is not likely to arrive at Edinburgh before Saturday. His lordship intends to reside for some time in a house he has procured for the season on the banks of the Tunimel, in Perthshire. The Emperor and Einpre , s will, it is said, take up their residence at the Chateau of Villeneuve-l'Etang, while awaiting the arrival of the Queen of England. A letter from Berlin states that the Ministers of France and England, the Marquis de Moustier and Lord Bloomfield have obtained leave of absence from their re spective Governments, and are about to quit that city. A letter from Constantinople states that Omer Pacha is on the best terms with Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, and that he has more than once breakfasted with him during his recent stay at Constanti▪ nople. The Earl of Yarborough, we are happy to learn, is so far recovered from his recent attack of paralysis as to be able to take carriage airings. The lndependance Beige states that the English Go. vernment has sent, throug h our Minister at Brussels, the sum of 25,000 f. towards the restoration of some funeral monuments in the church of Waterloo. WOOLWICH ARSENAL. —The charge of Woolwich Arsenal, hitherto undertaken by portions of the various troops in garrison, has been handed Over to the police force, in consequence of the increasing reduction in the -" A. very warlik e order of military departments th ere.. A letter from Vienn a of the 28th ult. , in the Cologne Gazette, says :-- the day has been published by the Muscbir Ismail Pacha, who commands on the Danube. The Pacha com pliments the troops on thei▪ r past conduct, and promises them approaching victories over the Rus sians. Baron de Bourqueney had a long con ference with Count Buol yesterday, at w hi c h he read to hima note which he had received from Count Walewski. M. d'Oubril, attached t o th e R uss i an Legation, also had an interview of the President of the Council, in which he assured the latter that, in I consequence of the reduction of the Austrian army, no more troops w ould be concentrated in Poland, where only the ordinary garri▪ sons would be kept up. Most of the regiments, whi▪ ch had been on their march for Poland from the interior of Russia, have received orders to march on the southern pro- vinces." A letter from Berlin states that the Ministers of France and England, the Marquis de Moustier and Lord Bloomfield, have obtained leave of absence from their respective Governments, and are about to quit that city. THE CREDIT OF TURKEY. With reference to the credit of Turkey in connexion with the approaching loan for that country, a corres pondent calls attention to some facts of her modern his tory showing the good faith she has exercised under im portant financial sacrifices. Ever since the commence ment of the present struggle there have been parties who have endeavoured to damage her character by any means; and if their object is to cause her to imitate the defaults of the majority of other foreign nations to whom Eng land has lent money, they coud adopt no surer way than by teaching her that past honesty is to count for noshing : • •- " Inthe recent discussions in Parliament on the ques tion of the proposed guarantee of a loan of 5,000,0031. ster ling to be raised for warlike purposes on account of the Turkish Government, doubts were expressed by some of the members as to how far its integrity and good faith wero to be relied on. _ . " It may, therefore, not be out of place to state facts which tend to remove those doubts, which you will be pleased to make use of in such way as in your better judgment may be thought necessary to that end. "After the war b. tween Russia and Turkey, which was followed by the treaty of Adrianople, the latter Power had to pay to the former as indemnity for the expenses of the war a sum amounting to about 2,000,0001. sterling, and further, 1,100,000 of Austrian ducats in compensation for Russian commercial losses, in guarantee for which Russia held possession of the fortresses of Silistria„ Ibrahim, &c. " In the course of five years these sums wero paid by Turkey without having had recourse to loans. `• Again, in 1840, during the war with Egypt, the British Government aided Turkey by supplying her with warlike stores to a largo amount, which were, in like man ner, duly paid by that Power. " The good faith of the Turks in their engagements with foreign Powers is proverbial, and nothing has over occurred in their transactions of that nature tending to produce a contrary impression.

The Timandra sailing transport, to. 51, went into Ports month harbour yesterday, from Spithead, to land her in valids, women, and children, whom she brought home from Corfu. The Europa, steam-transport, sailed from Ports mouth yesterday morning for Liverpool, requiring to be docked before again proceeding to the Esst. Tke Marley Hill and Killingworth, screw steam-transports, left Ports mouth yesterday afternoon for the eastward. The Dee, naval steam-transport, hauled into the steam basil, at Portsmouth yesterday to land boilers for the Marlboronzh. The paddlewheel steam-vessel Pluto, 4, arrived at Ply mouth yesterday from the Coast of Africa. Her dates from sierra Loom), Juno 1, a - nd Goree; Juno 26, are anti cipated by the mail-packet Retriever. The Britomart, 8, Commander Albert Heseltine, on a cruire, was appointed to call at Sierra Leone on the 16th of July, when she would probably receive orders to return home. The screw steam gun-vessel Teazer, 3, is gone to Ascen sion to be repaired. The paddle-wheel steam -vessel Myrmidon, 3, Lieutenant Commander Edward Maunsell, arrived at Madeira on the 20th of July, bound for Sierra Leone. The detachment of the 31st Regiment left in Plymouth. Citadel, 73 rank and file, and three officers, under coin mand of Lieutenant Pearson,' is appointed to leave on Monday for Liverpool, where it will embark for the Crimea. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Jason, trans port No. 84, having embarked the whole of her troops and horses, hauled out of the Southampton docks into the river yesterday afternoon. It was not expected that she would sail for the Crimea until to-day. The amount of steam•shipping at Southampton continues very great. During the past month the graving docks have been busily engaged in providing accommodation for steam vessels of the heaviest burden. As a proof of this the following ships have been docked at that port during July :—Atrato, paddle, 3,466 tons burden ; Derwent, paddle, 794; Madrid, paddle, 479; Tamar, pad dle, 1,93 t; Magdalena, paddle, 2,914; Himalaya, screw, 3,438 ; Victoria, screw, 1,878 ; Jason, screw, 2,668 ; Al hambra, screw, 720; Australian, screw, 1,392. The Atrato was undocked and the Himalaya docked in one tide_; the latter vessel, which had just arrived from Spithead as the Atrato was floating out, steaming direct into the large graving dock. In three hours from her entering she was perfectly dry. This is the largest amount of tonnage in and out of a graving dock in one tide which is known -6,901 tons. After the Himalaya had completed her re pairs, three ships were docked in 24 hours, the united burden of which amounted to 5,426 tons. The graving docks are still occupied, and there are seven large vessels waiting for their turn. Among them is the fine East In dian sailing ship Herefordshire, of 1,800 tons burden, which is lying at Southampton for the purpose of being newly coppered and caulked. The Gtatton, 14 guns, screw steam floating battery, Captain Arthur Cumming, and the Meteor, J 4 guns, screw steam floating battery, Captain F. B. B. Seymour, left Sheerness yesterday for the Black Sea, and are to call at Portsmouth for Admiralty orders. The Rhadamanthus will follow them with their guns. Both floating batteries are ordered to anchor in the Downs for a tide or two in a part of the roadstead where they will get the cross tide and run of the sea, to prove their sea-going qualities previously to their departure. The entrance to the Gull Stream is named for an anchorage. Both these ships are fully manned. The Trafalgar, 120 guns, has been put out of the fitting basin at Sheerness, and the Phaeton, 50 guns, arrived yes terday from the Saltpan Reach, was taken into the fitting basin to be brought forward as a screw steam-frigate for immediate commission. The Horatio, 8 guns, scr©w steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., left Sheerness at 7.45 p.m. on Wednesday, anchored at the Nore, and at 5.30 a.m. yes terday left for Heligoland. She takes with her Sappers and Miners for duty there. She proceeds from Heligoland to Portsmouth, there to receive Admiralty orders on par ticular service. The Caradoc, 2, iron paddle-wheel steam-vessel of 350- horse power, Commander S. H. Derriman, borne on the books of the Royal Albert, made her number on demand, passing up Sea Reach yesterday at 8.45 p.m., from the Mediterranean, with despatches for the Admiralty from the Crimes. Commander Charles G. Phillips has taken up his com mission and joined the Urgent, screw steam-transport, which vessel is to be at Sheerness on the 10th instant, for particular service. The Alban, 4 guns, paddle-wheel steam-v esse l, Li eu t.- Commander W. E. Figher, left Sheerness yesterday for Heligoland. Capt. Wicklund and his chief mate, late of the Russian barque Odessa, taken at Hull, have been released from the Devonshire, at Sheerness. An order has arrived there that any Russian merchant seamen, now prisoners on board the Devonshire, can receive their liberty if they volunteer and are accepted to serve on board of any vessels except Rus sian property. No. 68 screw transport Sovereign arrived off Woolwich Arsenal yesterday, and is embarking about 200 tons of shot and shell for the Black Sea. She is to complete her cargo with light stores. The Union, sailing transport, has taken in 1,800 barrels of powder at Woolwich, and a quantity of shot and shells, and is only waiting Admiralty orders to sail for the same destination. The Medina, sailing transport, is also nearly ready for sea with a similar freight. Captain Riddell'e field battery, and a working party of about 80 men, with 150 horses, went clown to Greenhithe yesterday morning from Woolwich, under the superintend ence of Colonel Anderson.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN SWITZERLAND. (Fiona the Journal de Gcncee. ) SION, VALAIS, JULY 27. I send you some fresh details which I have just col lected with respect to the catastrophe of St. _Nicola.: and ViZ;ge. The 26th has been a yet more terrible day than the 25th---not that the shocks of earthquake have been stronger, but that all the houses, being cracked and ready to fall, were unable to resist any new shocks. At 10 o'clock I was at Graeber:, sitting on a rock, and talking with two peasants, when, all at once, our seat was violently agitated ; we were thrown to the earth, and at the same moment 13 barns fell in, the spire of the church was completely demolished, and an enor mous rock —known in the district by the name of " Kalcheuzug"—bounding from the top of the moun tain, precipitated itself with a horrible crash into ViZge, surrounded by a cloud of pebbly dust, which rolled onwards with the impetuosity of an avalanche. From Grachen I went to St. Nicolas by the wooden bridge. Notwithstanding the reiterated warnings of the inhabitants, I determined to penetrate into the village, in order that I ought be able myself to judge of the extent of the disaster. All the houses had fallen one upon the other, and at the very moment that I quitted the village (a quarter past one p.m.) a fresh shock occurred, which completely levelled the little inn called " La Croix Fdddrale." The only houses which now stand at St. Nicolas are the priest's house and the house of the notary, M.Binner. All the rest is one heap of ruins, and the wretched in habitants of this village, collected together in a large field near the river, are encamped in the open air. It is heartbreaking to witness the despairing sadness of the men, who have just seen the destruction of the houses which sheltered them yesterday, and of the women, sur rounded by their children, who can do nothing but weep over this overwhelming calamity. Between a quarter past 1 o'clock and 5 I have felt six shocks of earthquake at St. Nicolas—viz., at a quarter past 1, at 10 minutes past 2, at 14 minutes past 2, at half-past 2, at 40 minutes past 3, and at 40 minutes past 4. At 5 o'clock I resumed the road to Vibge by the right bank of the river, in order to avoid the storm of stones which never stopped falling. On the road the shocks continued, but I must admit that I did not care to note them very accurately, being in a hurry to arrive at Stalden. On the road I met the curd of St. Nicolas, without a hat, and in great pain. A stone had struck him on the head and another on the knees. Ve was creeping along with difficulty, but we were obliged to pursue our journey separately, for it was impossible to stop. The road was entirely covered with crevices, crumbled walls, enormous blocks of stone, and at every instant the noise of something cracking was renewed. I have at last arrived at Stalden. Nobody is in the village ; everybody has fled. Almost all the stone houses have been shaken down. The wooden structures have resisted better. At half-past six I set out for Vii ge, but at 200 yards from Stalden the road was impassable. I was obliged to go ; as best I could, by the side of the hill. With respect to Vige you know what has taken place. Yesterday, at 10 o'clock in the evening, there was a fresh shock as strong as those which preceded it. As at Staldeu and St. Nicolas, there are no inhabitants in this little town. They are encamped in the open air. At three o'clock in the morning I had fortunately re turned to Sion from my perilous excursion. At Zermatt, Tescb, and Randa there has been no mis chief. At Torbel the roof of the church is driven in, as in the two churches of Vige ; the same thing has hap pened at Ilurbficken. No news from any other quarter. The wounded guide' has been brought back to Vi4Te. It is believed that his leg is not broken. I saw at St. Nicolas a woman who was suffering agonies—a beam in falling had broken her arm, and they were on the point of amputating it, but without any hope of saving her. Such was the situation yesterday. You see how dis astrousb it is, and what a depth of compassion must .e felt for so many honest people struck down by a cala mity hitherto unheard of in these districts. This evidently refers to something mentioned in a previous letter. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE POSTPOYED POLISH MEETING. The . subloined letter, addressed by Sir Da Lacy Evans to a contemporary, shows that he was noways responsible for the disappointment occasioned by the postponement of the meeting announce:l to be held in St. Martin's Hall on Wednesday. The respectable signatures attached to the letter of the Council of the Literary Association of the Friends of Poland convinces us that no blame can attach in that quarter beyond the very venial one of allowing themselves to be taken by surprise. We learn with plea sure that the postponed meeting will cer t a i n ly b e h e ld in the course - of next week. We hope that Sir De Lacy Evans's health may then be so farre-established as to enable him to take the chair Sir,—lt was with extreme surprise that I found in your journ a l of ;his morning that the meeting respecting Poland, to have been held last night, and of which I was announced ,fts chaii man, was suddenly put off, on the sole alleged ground of my inability to attend. From the following particulars I trust you will perceive thatl had no adequate reason to anticipate such a result. On the 18th of July I received a communication from a gentleman representing the Council of the Friendi of Poland, requesting me, on their b e h a lf, as fellows " To take the chair at a public meeting, to be held on the Ist or Bth of August in the locality of Westminster, having for its object not only to express sympathy, but also to advocate the necessity of the formation of the Polish Legion as the best measure for crippling the power of Russia. 'rue Marquis of Ilrea.dalbaue, the Earl of Shaftes bury, the Earl of Harrington, Lord liinnaird, Lord Sandon, and several members of Parliament, have already signified their intention of taking part in the proceedings." The writer of this letter did me the honour of calling on me on the following day for my repl y, w h en I urge d the propriety of some one of these high and honoured per sonages being selected by the council, in preference to me, for the post. of chairman ; but being pleased to give my assent I yielded, but at the same time suggested that my health being still precarious, it would be necessary to no minate another gentleman to take my place, in the event of my being compelled to retire during the proceedings. Finding myself very unwell, however, early yesterday morning, I despatched, between 9 and 10 o'clock, for the information of the council, a letter of which the following is, I believe, nearly a verbatim copy : "A severe indisposition, which t have suffered from last night, obliges me, with much regret, to solicit being ex cused attending the meeting of this evening, on the subject of Poland. Since my return from the East I have been subject to these attacks, which usually leave me, for two or three days, unfit for any exertion. "As, however, several noblemen and gentlemen of high station are mei, Coned in the circular invitation by the council as having promised to assist at this meeting, there cannot be any difficulty in supplying my place as chairman. I hear the meeting is likely to be a roost numerous one, which occasions me the more regret in being prevented sharing in its proceedings. "I have understood that the principal objectoin view on this eccasion was to elicit an expression of public opinion on the policy of embodying at the seat of war a military force to consist of Poles, as one of the elements for contending against the colossal semi-barbarous power which now me naces Europe with subjugation. And as I venture to think no one, however wise, can foresee the eventualities of the arduous war we are engaged in—a proposition so mode rate, distinct, and opportune as the formation of such a force cannot bo liable to any sound objection, and will, I feel assured, obtain the unanimous and enthusiastic affir mation of any great assemblage of Englishmen. W ere I able to be present, I should have submitted some few statements in support of these opinions. Others I have no doubt will do so, in better and more persuasive language ; and I have Only again to request you will be good enough to convey this my expression of regret and apology to the council, and to subscribe myself—Yours, &c., _ "1). L. EvANs." Feeling by the comments in your journal of this morn ing that much disappointment was naturally caused by the postponement of the meeting, I have troubled yon at this length to show that I could have had no anticipation but that another chairman would have been readily available to conduct the business of the evening.--I am, &c., Bryanstone-square, August 2. DE LACY EPANS. Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, Sussex chambers, Duke-st., St. James's, Aug: 2, 1855. Sir,—We hasten to repudiate, most earnestly and posi tively, the imputation cast in some quarters upon that gallant patriot, Sir Do Lacy Evans, and the parties who were instrumental in proposing to hold the meeting an nounced for Wednesday night at St. Martin's-hull, on the subject of Poland, as if the illness of the former was pre tended, and the latter had been induced, through some sinister transactions with the Government, to deceive the public, and play false to the cause they have ever had most warmly at heart. It was not until late in the afternoon of yesterday that we received a letter from Sir De Lacy Evans, stating his deep regret that through an illness, to which he is occa sionally subject since his campaign in the Crimea, it was utterly out of his power to preside at the meeting. Con sidering it of the highest consequence that the public should hoar from Sir De Lacy Evans ' s own lips his sentiments and statements, so important from his practical expe rience and services in the war, on the subject of the formation of a Polish Legion and the Polish ques tion generally, and that the proposed meeting should, at the present important crisis, be as influential and useful as possible, we thought it advisable to adjourn the meet ing for a few days, to give time for Sir De Lacy Evans's recovery. This is the simple fact, and no communication whatever passed between this association and the Govern ment on the subject of the meeting. We immediately gave public notice, by placards and otherwise, so fur as was practicable, and by communications with individuals, of the adjournment of the meeting. Sir De Lacy Evans is in no degree responsible for this. If blame is attributable to anyboay for doing what was, under the circumstances, thought to be best for, the cause, it is attributable to us alone. We sinceie'y regret the great disappointment which appears to have been felt; but we can only rejoice at the feeling existed in favour of Poland, and trust that such feeling will be still more clearly and strongly exhibited at the postponed meeting, which will assuredly be held in the course of next week.—We have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servants, on behalf of the council, EDMOND BEALES, Chairman. WM. LLOYD EIRKBECK, Hon. Sec. (Front the Morning Advertiser of this day.) We understand that the indisposition of the gallant officer, who was to have presided at the meeting on Wed nesday for resolving on the formation of a Polish Legion, was not the only cause of the postponement of that meet ing. It would appear that the announcement of that meeting had occasioned some alarm to the Government, in consequence of the representations of the Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors, who also affected to communicate the views of the Ministers of Holland and Belgium, and of some of the petty States of Germany. The result of such a demonstration, the foreign diplomatists apprehended, would be, not only the awakening of false hopes iu the breasts of the oppressed people of Poland and of other States, but of a general revolution in Europe. One Minis ter iu particular, it is alleged, threatened to apply for his passports. The steps, therefore, wore taken which, coin cident with General Evans's illness, led to the disappoint ment of Wednesday. That this little event should excite so much apprehen sion among the satellite Sovereigns of the Czar is pre cisely the reason why the Government should have lent its encouragement—it is the reason above all others which should stimulate the Allied Powers to avail themselves of so direct and certain a mode of eesuring a speedy and tri umphant issue to their cause. The struggle now has assumed such an aspect that we must no longer bear with diplomatic trifling ; the States who hesitate to identify their fortunes with the cause of freedom and civilisation should at once be considered as the accomplice of the enemy. Why should any Minister complain of a proposal which may contemplate the restoration of Poland ? It is the course on which we should have entered long ago. Had the other European Powers made a cases belli of that monstrous infraction of the treaty of Vienna which anni hilated the independence of Poland, as in honour, justice, and humanity they were bound to do ' they might have escaped the troubles of 1848. England is now expiating with her blood and treasure her complicity in that great political crime. The rival despotism's of Austria and Prussia might have been satisfied with fragments of plun dered territory, but how bitter must be their reflections when they now find themselves in the grasp of the Masco vita, so far as to be obliged to submit as instruments to the hazard of their own destruction. They misrepresent the feeling of enlightened Germany who pretend that it has no sympathy for the cause of Poland. The first outbreak of revolutionary enthusiasm in 1848, disclosed the feelings of the German people towards the Czar. The first watchwords of that revolution were a " Free Press," and the " Restoration of Poland." We are not surprised that Prussia should feel so con• earned for the tranquillity of Posen, and even of West phalia and the Rhenish Provinces, where a French feeling prevails, as to dread the effect of so small a movement in London as the organisation of a Polish Legion. We are not surprised that Austria, with her experience of 1848 and 1819, should tremble for the least manifestation of de cided sympathy in the cause of the oppressed nationalities —a cause which has only to be seconded by the Western Powers to bring her at once to a stand-still in diplomatic attitudinising, as it will also quicken the determination of thee caused s other h e t r s war u l develops to Pwoer— w t o itso e vacillation praen mag nitude. alarming mainagy.
