army has returned to its psitions at Praga full of ardow. A part of the troops has been left on the Jeft b.nk of the Narew, and defends the passage o' riat tive,:. The Rus , ian army, weakened by it, enormous losses (15,000 men), has undertaker , nothing new. The troops fought with great bravery The division of General G:elgud, united :with that of Chrapowski, will form an effective force o' 15,000 men. The insurgents of Augustowo wilt swell its rank, and in the middle of Lithuania it must be able to make head against the Russia:, troops opposed to it, unless D ebitsch detaches a part of his army to cover his rear, a circumstance which would allow the Polish army to proceed im mediately to Lithuania. The Monitcur of yesterday has the following : " Letters published by some Journals may alarm the merchants, it is therefore necessary that every one should form correct notions of the measures which the Government has found it necessary to take." Satisfaction has been demanded of the Govern ment which rules in Portugal. In case of delay or refusal, the French vessels sent to the mouth of the Tagus have orders to cruize there, stopping, how ever, no other vessels but those of the Portuguese. France is not at war with Portugal. There is no question of captures, but of a provisional seques tration of the vessels stopped. There is no reason therefore to issue letters of marque. As for those which it is apprehended Don Miguel may issue, he will not add, in his pre , ent situation, that grievance to those for which the King's Lieute pant demands satisfaction. Under any circumstances the Government will not be taken unprepared ; the coasts of Portugal are watched, so that no French vessel could leave them. As for the Portuguese men-of-war, we know there are none except at Terceira, and those are now closely watched, if not taken possession of. We can therefore, we believe, dissipate the fears of the merchants. FRENCH FUNDS4.-PARIS, JUNE 10.-Five per Cents. 89f. 75c. 90f. 891. 75c. 50c. 30c. 89f. 88E 90c. 886 60c. 75c. 89f. 25c. 89f.

BRUSSELS, JUNE B.—The sitting of the Congress, which was fixed at noon yesterday, did not open till two and then, when the names of the Members present were called over, it appeared that there was not a sulEc:ent number to make a House, so that nothing could be done. It was decided that a notice to the absent Members should•be inserted in the Journale, and a list of the Members present be published. The Governor of the province of Liege wrote on the 6:11 the following letter to the functionaries in the administration of that province : " GENTLEMEN,-1 doubt not that ytu have taken the most lively interest in the important decision of the Na tional Onigress on the 4th of this month. " Tile election of the Prince of Saxe Coburg to the Throne of Belgium brightens our prospect., and promises to the Belgians a happy lot, by securing to them the liber ties secured by our constitutional law. " Let us hope that the Prince will accept the Crown which is offered to him by so great a majority, and that his influence in the negotiations which are going to take pl ice, will kite a result conformable to the national wish. Let us remain united—let us remain Belgians, and let i ts always frankly abide by the principles of our revolution." The trial of Colonel Gregoire continues. It is ;uppose,.d that sentence will be passed to-morrow. The Regent, using the power given to the Go vernment by a decree of the National Congress of the 4th of April, has, by a decree of yesterday, called out the first class of the Civic Guard in the provinces of Antwerp, East and West Flanders, Jelanatilt, Namur, Brabant, Liege, arid Limburg. The first class of the Civic Guard of Luxemburg was called out by a decree of April 13.—Brussels Papers, June 0. DRESDEN, MAY 30.—A Royal Proclamation was published yesterday, in which the King and the Prince Co-Regent announce to their subjects the speedy publication of a Constitution, a Constitu tional Law, and a law for the redemption of feudal ,rights. If these laws, say; the Proclamation, have not yet been published, and carried into effect, the cause is to be sought only in a conscientious respect for vested rights, and for the eternal truth—" that no institution can be durable and bear fruit unless it be founded on the irazie of right." " Saxons, the new Constitution will secure you for ever against arbitrary power; the laws which you wil! receive will be henceforward maturely weighed by yotar representatives ; no tax will be im posed till your representatives have been made sen sible of its necessity, and the mode of carrying it into execution, us well as of the application of the Revenue of the Sta.e ; you will be able to make known, through your representatives, your wishes and your complaints; the public functions will be g iven only to men of talent and capacity, &c."--- Brussels Papers, June 0. MUNICH, MAY 30.—The Government Gazelle of Bavaria contains the following paragraph : " His ilLijeety was pleased, on the 26th - Alay, to grant to M. Von Schmit, Minister of the Interior, the discharge which he solicited from that post (his Majesty recognising and appreciating the noble motives that induced him to this step) ; his Majesty at the same tune expresses his entire satisfaction with his conduct in office, and appoints him Councillor of State Extraordinary, 4ncl Commissioner- General and President of the Government in the circle of the Rigen." By a rescript of the 26th May, his Majesty ha , given the department of the Interior to M. Von Sturmer, Councillor of State, and by a resolution of she 26th nay, has dismissed from his office the Privy Councillor Arnold Von Link, hitherto Corn missioner-General and President of the Government of the Circle of the Rigen, signifying to him that this was not done in consetpsenee of any dissatisfac tion with him, for that, on the contrary, his Majesty had found that his conduet, had fully corresponded with the confidence placed in him, and that his Majesty intended soon to give him 4nother post of the tame deseriiitiore—Frankfort Fart: June L.

At half-past two the Clerks called over the names of the Members of the Congress ; '7B were present. This number being insufficient, no debates could take place. The Vice- President proposed to examine the Budgets in the Sections, and as they are nut complete, to unite them. Several Members observed, that a majority would not be atta;ned by this means, which is necessary according to the rules. After some discussion, it was resolved that there should los a public sitting to-morrow,at two o'clock. M. Tie• lawns, Governor of Antwerp, announced on the 6th, by a Proclam stion to the inhabitants of that city, the election of Prince Les ald. air. White, Secretary P to Lord Ponsonby, who set out fur L ou d en on Sa l t a urdaylaut, with the news of the election of Prince Leopo re turned to Brussels yesterday morn ing, at ten o'clock. l White stabs that he w ent him • Ball to Claremont , to a nnoun ce his election to Prince Leo. pow, who,h eB , ye , to receiv e th e news w i t h se tiwill a le io a v is e ; B b r u l t imi n t o i t s hi e n ng s fu a r t t o h e e d r is st a t e d.

Yesterday evening, at eleven o'clo c k, 4 - ,,, v itched a courier to London. This cou r r d ier th e wP"n"lil b. e'er of an answer which Lord Ponsonby had a ,k a : d in the course of the day of M. Lebeau, on a point whi c h, W e are told, is very important, but no farther explanati on given. The answer required would be categorical, and Vie Council of Ministers were assembled a considerable time to deliberate on it. The courier, who had been in reoliness from eight o'clock, set off as soon as the answer was delivered to him. He proceeded to Ostend, where the vessel which brought Mr. White was waiting for him. N. Nahomb, Secretary-General to the Department o' Foreign Atrare, who et cut for lAttaticti ou SUlldily even no, with NI. Devaux, has been, as we are assured, sud lenly recalled to Brussels, by a messenger who was sent titer him OR Monday. We are ignorant ..f the grounds o! '.is recal. The Regent and M. Lebean went yesterday to Boom, to he present at the launching of two brigantines which have ,een built thew. A new battalion of 500 volunteers is going to be sem to Luxemburg,. Great praise is given to the activity :Flow n by ill. de Stoppers in the organization and instruc tion of the Forest Keepers. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From the Times.) We have just received, by an extraordinary conveyance, dl the Paris journals of Saturday, and the Gazette de France and Messaper de Chambres, dated yesterday ; likewise a large packet of journals and letters from our private correspondents, to the latest date, in various parts if the Continent. We have not room for more than a (ew extracts. There was an express on Saturday in Paris from St. Petersburgh to the 28th of May : it contained no political Intelligence of late date from the armies. We have also letters from Berlin to the sth instant They convey what we have the best reason fur believing to ba an exaggerated account of the Polish losses in the late battles. The Polish Generali6simo was, we know. still before Praga on the lat instant, and his brave corps full of spirit and enterprize. By our private letters, a great panic appears to prevail among the money•jobbers of Paris, arising chiefly out of apprehensions upon the state of Belgic affairs. The French Government, and the Opposition are iu fierce activity in preliminary electioneering movements. Indeed, the state of France itself, and the party excitement of which it is so susceptible, are, according to some accounts, calculated to produce general uneasiness, but this inquietude will probably yield before a firm and prudent administration of the Go vernment.. " The Journal du Commerce says—c The secretary of the Duke de Nlortemart arrived at Paris from St. Peters- burgh in the coarse of the night, and the Duke himself is said to be hourly expected. It was remarked, that on 'Change yesterday a great quantity of renter were sold on account of Russian houses. On the 30th ult., General Romanow, of the Emperor of Russia's staff, and the Che valier Lobry, his secretary, arrived at Amsterdam, from St. Petersburgh and Hamburg.' " The Secretary of the Spanish Embassy at Vienna ar rived on Thursday night at the Spanish embassy at Paris, on his way, in great haste, to Madrid. It is said that his despatches are of great importance. This messenger con tinued his journey as soon as he h .d delivered despatches to the Count d'Ofalia. " The Ternps says—' All kinds of alartning reports were set afloat yesterday. The news of the unexpected arrival of Marshal Soult, and of hostile resolutions on the part of our Cabinet, engrossed the public mind. Upon making inquiry in the proper quarter, we find that the first statement is false. The second, probably, is also without foundation.' "Extract of a letter frkina Toulon, dated the sth inst. The squadron of observation, which has been cruising for several leagues off the shore, returned into port yester day, in pursuance of orders sent to the commander by the steamer Le Si - Aga:v. It is composed of five ships of the line—Le Trident, Rear-Admiral Hugon, L' Alger, La Ville de ,darseide, Le Conqueror, and Le Marengo ; three frigates, La Didon, L' Independante, and L'lphi. genie ; the sloop La Perle, the steamer Le Sphynx, and the brig Le Cuirassier. The whole of them have re ceived orders to be ready to sail again at the first signal. Provisions for four months are being embarked, with every • species of projectiles and ammunition, either fur a bom bardment or a descent upon an enemy's shore. To-mor row, 1,000 men from the 17th of the Line will go on board the different ships and frigates, with 8 companies of 150 men each, from the crews of the Line, makilg a total of 2,200 men. It is believed that the expedition is in tended fur the Tagus." Another letter of the same date says:—" Le SpAyns strainer received yesterday pressing orders from the Mari time Prefect to proceed to Rear-Admiral Hugon, command ant of the cruising squadron off our coast, to convey to him a telegraph despatch. As soon as the Admiral had received it, he ordered his division to sail for Toulon, where it is now at anchor in the roadstead. We term this morning that the telegraphic despatch ordered the ships, frigates, and brigs under Rear-Admiral Hugon to 1101,1 themselves in readiness to proceed on an expedition against the Regency of Rona, in ' , Utica. The 17th Regi ment of the Line, which is in garrison here, is destined to form a part of the troops who are to effect a landing on different points where there are insurgents. This regiment will embark forthwith. Whilst the landing of our army takes place, the ships and frigates are to bombard a fort erreted by Charles V., which is likely to offer great re sistance. The Regent of Bona, who had submitted to the French Government, raised the standard of independ ence as soon as General Clause! had withdrawn his troops from his petty state. lie no longer p tys tribute, and tre its us as enemies, but the hour of his fall is near at hand.'" Letters from Kisclieneff, of the Ist instant, mention that symptoms of the cholera have again appeared in that town. Extract of a letter from Havre, dated Jure 9 :—" Yes terday a large three-masted vessel was observed in the of flag, neither the name nor nation of which could be dis cover,d, and consequently a greet concourse was assetn bled on the pier to see her come in. She proved to be a Belgian just arrived from Batavia. She did not hoist her white flag bordered with black, bearing three towers and the number 97, tiil she entered the outer port. She was then found to be the Governor Graef de 13 aillet, who had not beard of the late events in Belgium till she fell in with an English ship at sea, the Captain itf which recommended her not to proceed direct to Antwerp, whither she was bound, and consequently site decided upon entering Havre until she receil ed further intelligence." Bourne, June 11, Four o'clock. The Funds have partially recovered. The panic of yes. terday was c 'used principally by immense sales for account of IL Ouvrard.

The arrival at Falmouth of the English ship of war with the Emperor Don Pedro on board, and its departure again for Cherbourg, with the whole im perial party, will be found detailed in another column. His Majesty did not propose to land on English ground, and only sent orders to his agents in London to meet him in the French port above-mentioned This nearapproach of the Ex-Emperor to the English coast, and immediat. departure for France, on board of an English vessel, without eortarimnic,ating with our Government, or disembarking his family for a day's refreshment, may be occasioned by his re ported eagerness to gat to Munich and to private lifa, among his ‘virWs re)ations ¢ but how is this re solution itself to be explained ? Ijas he abandoned all hope of returning t q port v g—pf tietivipg any benefit from the domains of his fornify in that kingdom, or of le-establishing, its constitutional throne ? If he ,himself, with his characteristic caprica and precipitation, has resolved to ex change impsrial power for the sweets of retire ment, and is resolved to- i coort the privacy of Diode sian and Charles V., without h4Yipi tasted their disgust with mankind, or without sharing their phi losophy, is he entitled to leave his followers, his fa wily, and his eiitintry, without redress, resources, or protection ? Will he o,(,eept from his younger bro ther, who has usurped his tbrc r n#, ;‘. poor pittance from the Infuntado de Braganza, or cease to demand any thing should the usurper refuse ? Is his daughter Pkewise to follow him to Cherbourg, and to accompany him to *Mph ? If she does, what becomes of the I,tegency of Terceira, and of the diplomatic agents of her Must Faithful Majesty at Foreign Courts? Is the 4mperor, as the guardian of his daughter, to appoint him self the Regent of Portugal ; and if he doe., what becomes of his philosophical retirement from the cares of state? We might multiply endless questions on this sub. ject, without hejag able to obtain any satisfactory an swer. The policy of thp Emperor, which probably has no mys•ery about it, seems at first sigh , more puzzling ihan if it h a d L een more profound-. Whe,r) hp left Rio it was his intention to land the young Queen 4t T,, i cei rjh in older to wait securely in that Island the result of the crisis in which hit; brother 1)on Miguel is now placed. This rroject must have been changed during the voyage, if it be true, as is stated in the Portsmouth Paper, that her Majesty has pre ceded her father to Cherbourg; but what is the reason of the change it would be difficult to conjec tut e. Is Donna Maria, after accompanying her father to Munich, to he sent to her grandfather, the Em peror of Austria, and to be delivered up to the safe custody of Prince Metternich, from whose fangs she was already once rescued by his father's tenderness ? After losing two crowns himself, this thoughtless Prince to rob his daughter of her's, to compel her fulfilment of a disgusting alliance with her " monster" of an uncle ? With a considerable portion of talent, and not a little energy of character, the Ex-Emperor, by his imprudence and indiscretions, seems born to be the ruin of all his friends, his adherents, and his children. The infant Emperor, whom he has left in Brazil, after being for a short time made the puppet of the republicans, will be happy if he be shipped off for Europe in safety to join the party of exiles at Munich; and the only child who accompanies him is about to be surrendered to the inveterate enemy of his political system. The Portuguese Con st i ru • tionalists, too, who are now persecuted in Brazil because they supported his daughter, or are groan. ing in exile and chains in Europe, on account of their fidelity to her cause, are likewise to be de serted by the Prince, who was their only hope and pport. It may be difficult to say what would be the effect of any attempt on the part of the Em peror to land in Portugal, and to head an en terprise fur the recovery of his crown. Ott the one hand, it is true that his most active par tisans are in prison or in exilethat the noblest and most enlightened portion of the nation are either out of the country or deprived of all means of assisting him in it—that the army as now officered, the nobility as now composed, the church as now tilled and animated, are ail the zealous supporters of his brother; and that the mass of the people are so brutified as to have no opinion at all, or to enter tain the opinions of their superiors. He could there fore expect little rtupport if he landed alone, and might be shot like Murat in Calabria, notwithstand rig the wrong prejudices of the Portuguese in favour of the family of their Kings. But on the other hand he might find such a body of friends who have been persecuted by Don Miguel, as, with the unity which he could give their operations, and the zeal which his presence would inspire into their exertions, might obtain for him an advantage over any army which his brother could lead into the field. A recent pub lictrion (the Annual Retrospect of Public Events jor the Year 1831) gives, with the sanction of a well-informed native of Portugal, the following frightful list of the victims of Don Miguel's tyranny : Men. • Political Offenders in the prisons of Lisbon 3,60,1 at the fort St. Julian BlO in Peniche... 400 Cascaes, Belem-castle, and Trafaria 3OO On board the hulks in the Tagus ----- at Oporto . . . ,000 In the different prisons of Traz-os-Montes 1,200 in the province of Douro and Miuho 2,000 Beira, including Ahneida WOO Estremadura, including Abrantes 3,000 Alemtejo, including Elvas . . 5,000 Algarve 1,250 Transported as convicts to Angola 4O. to Cabo Verde and other .......... 500 to Cabinda, Agonche, Mozambique 7OO EMIGRANTS. hi the island of Terceira n Brazil , '2.000 In different parts of England 8 0 In France l,BOO fii the Netherlands En ditli?rent parts of Europe l,OOO 40,400 To this number may be added near 5,000 persons now con_ cealed or wandering in the different parts of the country, in or der to escape persecution ; 45,400 victims of political vengeance and resentment, out of a population amounting to about 2,e(10,0U0, furnish the strongest proof of the tyranny of the Government. \Ve find here materials for a patrio:icarmy, which, if well led, might be more than a match for the troops of the tyrant, distracted as his Government must now be by the appearance of a French squa dron at the mouth of the Tugus threatening to bombard his capital, and humiliated as he must feel himself, by recent submissions to another great naval power, from whom Don Pedro might not expect ac tive assistance, but certainly need not dread active obs'ruction. The despot has not yet been recog nised by the Great Powers of Europe, and has re cently offended several ofthem by his aggressions and spoliations. Now, therefore, would appear to be the time for an attack on his power; and as the Emperor has no business of his own upon his hands, he can afford the whole of his time and exertions for the cause of his daughter and his country. In undertaking the enterprise his Ex• Majesty would have to encounter two difficulties. In t h e tir,t place, as Portugal is secure on the side of Spain, the expedition must be a naval one, and such an expedition could not be fitted out from any Eu ropean port consistently with our present pacific system : and in the second place, the equipment of a fleet and an army sufficient to overturn the throne even of so petty a tyrant, would require pe cuniary resources, which we are afraid the Emperor could not cLminand. RUSSIAN TREATMENT OF BRITISH SUBJECTS IN POLAND. COPY OF A PETITION DELIVERED TO THR GOVERNMENT. To the Right Hon. Lot d Palmerston, his Britannic Majesty's Secretary of StAte for the Foreign Department, The undersigned, being a subject of his Britannic Ma jesty, humbly begs to state his case for the consideration of your Lordship, being fully aware how much interest your Lordship feels in what regards the welfare of British subjects resident in foreign countries. Your Memorialist is by trade a flax-spinner, in which line of business he has established a concern at Winsouna, a village belonging to Count Mostowski, situated three German miles from the city of Warsaw, in the kingdo m of Poland. Being on the right bank of the Vistula, it was occupied by the Russian troops on the 20th February, who on the same day consumed and carried away all the eatables and drinkables he possessed, and for nine days he did not eat a morsel of bread. On the 22d of the same month, a party of finirteen Russian Hussars entered the village, and came to his dwelling. They unceremoniously broke open the door (which was closed) with an axe, as well also as the windows and window shutters ; they then proceeded to the manufactory, situated under the same roof, where he was employed. They first demanded his money; he gave them to understand he had none. The Hussars then took forcibly from him his watch and gold seals, and, holding a pistol to his breast, stripped him of his coat, waistcoat, trousers, and boots, and heat him with a award seven severe blows on the back ; they cut open each article of wearing apparel to ascertain if money was con cealed in them ; other parts of his w:4rdrohe were pillaged, and he himself deprived of all except the shirt, drawer', and stockings he wore. On the demand of his razors, he went to a room below under the pretext of fete:ring them, when betook the opportunity to escape through the window (far the deor was guarded) into the forest near the house. The Hussars then proceeded to pillage and injure the property in act manufactory; they stole 411 the brass-work attached to the machinery, and the leathern belts which drove it, upwards of three hundred files, ten saws, oil and eans,various tools, bed clothes, wearing apparel, linen, contained in his chest of drawers, which was broken 'pen with an axe, broke parts of his machinery, and com mitts!d other excesses. The unaer;igned ? his escape by th e w i n d o w, suc ceeded in reaching the foresters honse, where he pro cured an old coat, and remained about an hour. Supposing by this time the Hussars had left the village, he, accom panied by the steward, %V.lB returning home when he met them, who again seized hold of him, and inflicted five mole severe blows on the back with a sword. He again suc ceeded i n esca pi n g t o the forest, wherp he met a Russian officer, to whom he represented as well as he was able in Germin the manner in which his pi Operty had been pil laged and destroyed, and himself punished, which excited only his deri•i9n and laughter. Vor three sucesetliog tiffs other parties came with waggon, who took from him at earl, visit various things belonging to his manufactoty-,-in fast all that was portable. His plans and books of accounts were all destroyed ; a clock affixed to a wall was taken down, thrown on the ;round, and wilfully dashed to pieces Visits were daily made by ten or twelve Cossacks, who took away at their discretion what suited them, -until nearly all his eff e cts were stolen or demolished. Mr. Thomas, a subject of the King of Prussia, is than advanced in years, who was an enOneet on the sime estate, received similar treatment to mtmolialist, his lions having been pillaged, his person stripped, and h 7 mself se verely flogged : be is gone to 80-lin, to represent his case to the Prussian Government. Memorialist obtained an interview with the Field- Marshal Diebitsch, to whom he represented the treatment he had experienced from his troops. He (Diebitsch) re marked it was the chance of war, and ordered a guard of four Cossacks for the protection of persons on the estate, 'or portable property there was none left; this was, how ever, of no avail, for other parties of Cossacks came and flogged even the Cossacks sent as guard, and acted in de fiance of them ; the memorialist hail previously an inter view with General Fanshawe and the Grand Duke Con stantine, who referred him to General Diebitsch ; this was all the redress he obtained. Memorialist begs to remark, that in stating his case to your Lordship, you will be aware of the conduct of the Russian troops, when even under a state of discipline, and will see that it does not correspond with the duties in prac tice of European soldiers, but resembles more bands of robbers, as every thing is pillaged and destroyed within the range of their operations. Wheat, rye, oats, cattle, sheep, —wheat even in the straw,—are all taken, and nearly all persons punished without respect of persons; and this, notwithstanding the proclamation of Commander-in-Chief, who promised to protect private property, and to pay for all necessaries his troops required. As many subjects of his Majesty resident in Poland are liable to the loss of property and personal punishment so long as there is no Consul for their protection, I humbly beg to suggest to your Lordship the necessity of appoint. ing one without delay. And your memoralist will ever pray, Warsaw, April 12. WILLIAM DOWNIE. . .

" Abandon your houses, your fortunes; abandon every thing that has been most dear to you, and crowd toge ther to secure the first of blessings—the independence of our country. " Rut let us not deceive ourselves. For the future, severe labour and sanguinary contests await us : we have to contend with a powerful enemy—his forces are prodi gious —the extent of his dominions great.

Guided by these truths, we shall attain the greatest of earthly benefits.— the freedom of our country. Liberty and independence is our universal cry: it is to them that our efforts tend, without them there can be little merit in the sight of God. Would to God that I could inspire you with this truth, that a nation struggling for all that is most sacred on earth will find i❑ religious reflection the best aid in obtaining the ohji-ct of its desires : nations and thrones will crumble into dust when they shall have abandoned these eternal principles, " The duty of Kings is to render men better, and it is only on that principle that the sacredness and legitimacy of their thrones can rest. " But when a Sovereign himself tears asunder those sacred bonds which unite him to his people, when obe dience to his arbitrary will leads to disobedience to God, then an appeal to arms is as just as it is inexorably necessary. " Poles, cast but one look upon the situation of our country. The prosperity of that country has disappeared, national progress has been obstructed, the traces even of domestic virtues are gone, our souls have been dtgraded by slavery, and our wealth has served to foster debauchery. Governed by impotent individuals, the national character every where sinks into insignificance; the sole object of those who governed us has been to dispossess us of every thing which is valuable in the eye of heaven and earth. " To arms, my brr thren, to arms ! It is to you I ad dress myself, inh ibitants of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Ukraine. Now or never is the moment for casting off the afflictive yoke. Our success hitherto shows that it is the ll,ity himself who guides us; let us d,pend on his support, let us unite, then, with arias in our hands, and hope in our hearts. He may at first try you with disasters, but that ought not to discourage you ; the habit of combat, courage, and perseverance, will conduct to victory. " It is not against the Ilus.ian nation that we take up arms—that generous natio❑ has the same origin with our selves; its energies and its strength guided by our im placable enemies in the spirit of a deplorable policy, are worthy of higher destinies. Its laws, its religion, will be respected by us, in proportion to the respect we cherish for the laws and the faith of our fathers : it is not against these that we wage war, but against that spirit of de spotism which has crushed and oppressed us. " Our enemies calumniite us to the world by accusing us of being influenced by Jacobinical principles. . . " WE PROTEST BEFORE. GOD AND THE WHOLE WORLD THAT THE RELIGION OF OUR FATHERS, A CONSTITU TIONAL MONARCHY, THE CONSOLIDATION OF THE LAW, OF TRANQUILLITY, OF SOCIAL. ORDER, HAVE BEEN, AND EVER WILL BE, OUR ONLY PRINCIPLES OF ACTION. " I again repeat, victory will not be easy ; prodigious efforts, sacrifices of life and of property await us, and even, perhaps, repeated reverses. During a protracted war perhaps a wandering life, or perhaps the death of martyrs, may await us; but, trusting iii God, let us not retreat ; and, combatting in the name of religion and of liberty, let us acquire some merit before that God who re comprses pion, courage, and perseverance with victory. " Success to libeity under the protection of religion and the laws " Success to Poland, under the protection of God ! " SKRZYNECKI." NEW BEER TRADERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,-Seeing in your vain ible Paper of Saturday a meeting of the new beer traders, I should be much obliged if you will insert the following, as I ant a sub scriber to your Paper these five years. The Chairman stated that they wanted the same time as the victualler, and I think they ought to have less time, because they make bid use of the time that the law allows them to keep the company in those houses all night; mar ried men with bad women, apprentices of all ages, and allow gambling of all sorts. Mr. Braithwaite states that he and others of the trade waited on Lord Althorp, and that they would wait on Lord Brougham, I suppose to tell their Lordships how many families they have sent to the poor-houses ; for, if they tell theTrath, they knoW that the New Beer Bill is the worst Bill that ever passed in this country, and has been the ruin of many, and brought hundreds of youths into bad habits through being allowed to gamble at these houses. Mr. Bent next states that the trade in the country had to contend against the clergy, magistrates, and brewers. Now, if the magistrates bad done their duty, and acted up to the letter of the law, half their houses would have lost, their licenses before this. H e s t a t es th a t th e y se ll cheap beer, but he forgot to tell that the old houses soil better beer and for less money, and msde from hops and malt, which the new ones cannot produce. He also states that it has raised the malt, but he forgot to state that they do not pay for half of the malt that they make use of so that the maltster cannot pay for his barley, nor the farmer cannot pay hie rent, because the new trader does not pay for his malt. Mr. Crucifix talks of protection. I should like to know what protection the old houses have ; if he goes by the law that is laid down for them, they have nothing to fear ; he talks of more houses ; I don't know how he is to have more, for they keep open all the hours that •Go.l sends. He also bilks of being put on equal terms with the victuallers. If they were to be put oh an equality, they would not remain because the victuallers are men of honour and good characters, and the new beer traders are men of no honour, and very bad characters in general, .uch as men returned from transportation, and others that rave been imprisoned for robbing the tills of pnblic-houses, and some that have done their creditors out of .their just bts. These are the men that are trusted with licenses under the New Beer Act, that have been proved the worst f men , and they encourage every thing that is bad. A retaiV, then, to furnish the meeting with the truth, says, get the neighbours to sign the truth, that is (in his own words) that they promote drunkenneti, im. morality, debauchery, and every thing that is to corrupt the morals of the growing -up generation of both sexes. I am, Sir, your, humble servant, And constant reader of The. Sun, J. H. 13, Etc - - • - ••`Zi -, 4 • 4 " 4% 44344 LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1831. We direct attention to the Polish General in-Chief's Proclamation to the Lithuanians, calling on them to rise in defence of their com mon country and their rightful freedom, a, one of the most affecting and impressive public documents we ever read. If the Lithuanians be, what it is generally under stood they are, people of quick feeling, daring enterprize, and undoubted patriotism, they will not hesitate an instant in replying to the summons of the Polish hero, SKRZYNECKI, and rallying by thousands under his banners. This great man addresses the Lithuanians in a spirit of the most perfect candour ; he does not attempt to conceal from them the Herculean dif ficulties of the task in which they will engage ; the power of Russia, he allows to be tremendous ; but adds, that even her power must bend to the force of circumstances, and the unalter able, unanimous determination of Poland. But let the hero speak for himself:— "To arms, my brethren, to arms ! It is to you I address myself, inhabitants of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and Ukraine. Now, or never, is the moment for casting off the afflic tive yoke. Our success hitherto shows that it is the DEITY himself who guides us ; let us depend on his support, let us unite, then, with arms in our hands, and hope in our hearts. He may at first try you with disasters, but that ought not to discourage you ; the habit of Coln bat, courage, and perseverance will conduct to victory. It is not against the Russian nation that we take up arms—that generous nation has the same origin with ourselves ; its energies and its strength, guided by our implacable enemies in the spirit of a deplorable policy, are worthy of higher destinies. Its laws, its religion, will be respected by us, in proportion to the respect we cherish for the laws and the faith of our fathers : it is not against these that we wage war,, but against that spirit of despotism which has crushed- and oppressed us." sentiments like these, so exalted, so fervent, so gene rous, might almost rouse the dead. On the Lithuanians, we doubt not, they will have an electrical effect. But why do England and France slumber, while one of the noblest na tions in Europe is thus, in defence of its legi timate liberty, exposed to all the horrors of an exterminating warfare ? Not a sentiment of jus tice, reason, and humanity, but speaks trumpet tongued in behalf of the Poles. Gov grant they may gain their freedom, and find generous media tors in the Cabinets of England and France ! Brussels Papers say, News of an imme diate invasion is circulated. Three corps, and even four are spoken of, which it is said will enter our territory at once, to execute the deci sions of the Congress at. London. These four corps to be composed, one of English troops, which would occupy the provinces of Antwerp and Flanders ; the second of Prussian troops destined to take possession of LiMburg and Liege; the third furnished by the German con. federation, to take possession of Luxemburg ; and the fourth to be sent by Louis Pinup, King of the French, to occupy Hainault, and the other Walloon provinces. These are the benefits which the Five Powers, as we are told, are going to dispense to Belgium for our greater glory and. prosperity. We give no credit to these reports, which are circulated with a certain affec tation ; but we suppose they are propagated to frighten the country, and particularly the Con gress." The following are extracts : itsAw, MAY 31._The Polish Gazette and the IVarsaw Courier contain an older of the day, dated 29th of May, of General Krukowiecki, Governor of the capi tal, in which he announces that important reasons, the ~ o urces of which time will reveal, have induced him to solicit his discharge from the post of Governor, which the Government has consented to grant him. He speaks in high tern's of praise of the conduct of the office's of his st,ff. The Warsaw Gazette says that the General has dso resigned his post as General of iufantmy, and wil probably be succeeded in the office of Governor of Warsaw by Brigadier -General Routhier. Raphael Cichozki, who by the decision of two courts martial was sentenced to death, as guilty of high treason, was beheaded yesterday. The Board of Health in War saw announces that on the 24th there were in the prin cipal, hospital in the Bagatelle only six cholera patients, and in all the other hospitals only 49, and that on 22,1 May there were no new cases of cholera, and no death in the towns of Pultusk, Schierozk, and Napielpk. Pousu FRONTIERS, JuNe I.—According to accounts hat may be depended upon the loss sustained by the Poles in the battle of the 26th was greater than stated in the Warsaw Journals; they are stated to have host thirty staff, and 225 subaltern officers, and 10,000 men in killed and wounded. We have not the slightest information respecting the movements of Field.Ma►shal Diebitsch since the 26th t!itference between General Skizynecki and General Krulcowietli, Governor of the capital, is said to be made up. The request of the latter to resign his post is sup posed to have originated in this difference. WAitsaw, MAY 31.—The Warsaw Courier says, that General Pao, is recovering of his wounds, and will soon return to the army. The same Paper sAys, that all the inhabitants of Lublin who came to Warsaw, agree that General Kr,ffiz behaves 'o the Poles like a mill a honAtr, an I itowa himßel 19 friend of humanity. BRUSSELS.

Gendebien—lt is abiolutely necessary that the Co 4re , s should assemble speedily ; letters must be writtel 'o all the absent Members to summon them to their post' The accounts from Lend .n say, that the Prince of Say Coburg does not accept the throne of 13,Aginm.

Constantine Rodenimach —Let any one read the lett!' in which the refusal of the Prince is stated. S •veral Members—The Congr,ss must be complet in order that it may come to a decision when the depots tion shall have returned from London. To meet at on o'clock to-morrow. BRUSSELS, JUNE o.—News of an immediate invasiol is circulated. Three corps, and even four are spoken of which it is said will enter our territory at once, to executt the decisions of the Congress at London. These foto corps to be composed, one of English troops, which wool , occupy the provinces of Antwerp and Flanders; the secon , of Prussian troops, destined to take possession of Limburl and Liege; the third furnished by the German confederl' tion, to take possession of Luxemburg ; and the fourth V I he sent by Louis Philip, King of the French, to occupy Hainault and the other Walloon provinces. These are the benefits which the Five Powers, we are told, are going to dispense to Belgium for one greater glory and pro-perity. We give no credit to the reports, which are circulated with a certain affectation! but we suppose they are propagated to frighten the countrj and particularly time Congress. The reigning Duke of Brunswick arrived here yeater• day front Aix-la-Chapelle, on his way to England. Lord Ponsonhy, his secretaries, and his whole suite, will set out in a few days at noon for London. We are afraid that General Belliard sets out to-morrow for Paris. Toe Independent says that it is authorised to declare that the courier despatched by Lord Ponsonby was not the heart r of an important answer required of our Govern ment by Lord Ponsonhy. M. Lebeau (says the Emancipation) is going to Eng land. General Millinet, who was sent to Tournay, ha 4 just gone to Ostend. The trial of Ernest Gregoire is not yet terminated. At the very lowest ebb of popularity, reduced to the very last extremity, frenzied with the agony of despair, with not the slightest hope of again being able to plunder the public purse or " in vade the people's rights" with impunity, the bo roughmonr-„er9, it seems, are now bent on taking a bloody vengeance on their enemies. Like tigers at bay they are ready for a spring, no mat‘ ter on whom, or at what cost. Our readers will find an apt illustration of this spirit in a " Statement of the Affair between Lord THOMAS CECIL and Mr. TENNYSON, if which appears in The 'Sun of to-day. The history of this affair is simply this. During the late election at Stamford, when party spirit was at its highest, Lord THOMAS CECIL, who was standing near Mr. TENINysoS on the hustings, imagined he heard him make use of the terms v " execrable man" and " tyrant," as applied to his Lordship's brother, the Marquis of EXETER. Fired with indigna tion at these offensive expressions, Lord CECIL, on the 3d of June—nearly a month after they had been uttered, and even after a public express sion of regret " for any over-heated terms into which excited feelings might have betrayed him," had been made by Mr. TENNYSON at the final close of the poll—wrote to that gentleman for an explanation, which was promptly given, and wholly to his Lordship's satisfaction. "So far not the slightest blame attaches to either party. If Lord CECIL really felt his feelings aggrieved, he was right in demanding an explanation of the gentleman who had wounded their exquisite deli cacy. Mr. TENNYSON was equally right in promptly and honourably making that explana tion. But mark what follows ! At a Reform dinner given at Oakham, on the 30th of May, in celebration of the Stamford'election, Mr. TEN NYSON, in proposing for a toast " Prosperity to the House of CECIL, and may they, profiting by t he lesson they have received, learn to respect the rights of the peopl%" observed " Let me as sure you, as the Member for regenerated Stam ford, that, so far as I am personally concerned, the toast is a matter of indifferencelo, me ; so far as regards that Noble House which has ar rayed itelf against the common feeling of the people of England ; for so long as I have a leg to stand upon—so long as I have a tongue to speak the sentiments of the people, so long will I raise my voice against that House, or any other which shall dare to invade the rights of the people." For these observations, which are strictly within the or dinary limits of propriety, which have been used by public men when speaking of their op ponents a. thousand times before, and will be used 'a thousand times again, Lord CECIL sent a second letter to Mr. TENNYSON, requesting that he would either retract them, or give him that satis faction which one gentleman had a tight to demand from another. The first request Mr. TENNYsoN very properly refused ; the arrangement of the second he left to his friend Colonel MABERLY, with this remark, " I place my honour unre servedly in your hands." Colonel MABERLY like a sensible man, and a sincere friend, took the same view of the case that Mr. TENNYSON did, and that every other man, whose judgment is un clouded by his passions, would do. On the part of his friend he at once unhesitatingly refused a meeting, " as his own feeling was, that Mr. TENNYSON had in no way overstepped the fair line of public discussion in what he had said, and that in using the terms invading the rights of the people,' and hoping this would be a lesson to the House of CECI L neverto invade their rights again,' he had only employed words which we re i n constant use , w hi c h conveyed no offensive mean i ng , a nd which Lord T HOMAS CECIL h a d no r i g ht in any way t o quest i on. " So terminated this singular aftair, which, on the part of Mr. TENNYSON, displays cool ness,t self-possession, and the prop er sp i r i t of a gentleman of Lord C ECI L , intemperance, blind on fury, t h at and a determina tion at all hazards to fast en a quarre l on hi s antagonist. We s h ou ld scarcely have al luded to this affair, did a not form an apt Alustration of the sort of feeling now so rife among the boroughmongers. Baffled—beaten —with their power all but annihilated, their popularity for ever extinguished, these men are literally frantic with rage. In the ex tremity of their desperation they hold no terms with reason or common sense.
