TO THE EDITOR VF THE SUN. 1683, when Vienna was reduced to the last extremity, and the Governor, Ntehremburg, had announced the necessity of er ing, if not re lieved in three days, thn 'eloquent historian Sal. vandy thus describes the effect pradtfs'ed by tin I sudden appearance the Polish tre.-tiy : " One evenisig the sentinel, who was on the watch at th.e top of tho steeple of S , . S•ephen, per• ceived a blazing `dame on the summits of the Ca lerritsarg ; soon after an army was scut; preparing to dascend 'the ridge. Every teiss;eope was non Locoed in that direction, and from the brilliancy of their lances and the splendour of their banners, it , was easy to see that it was the ffussers of lloland,. AO redoubtable to the Osrnanlis, who were approach ing. sovereigns, generals, and the soldiers of the Im perialists received the illustrious chief, whom Heaven bad sent to their relief. Before his arrive?. discord reigned in their camp, but all now z-ictded obedience to the Polish hero." The strigainary tight that followed; the victory that was obtained over the t Turkish forces; the benefits that resulted from that victory to Europe and the Christian wed sl, have made the name of Poland glorious through al time. " The cause of Europe, of Christianirv, of civilization," says Salvandy, " had prevailed, the ssave of the Messulman power had retired, and re-, tired never to return." Englishmen llt is the same Poland which then saved Europe, that is now itself envirotted by dangers, and looks, but looks in vain, for succour ! It is the same Austria whose capital was then saved by this heroic people, that now looks on with cold indifferente at the progress of The Russian arms ! It is the same Christian Europe that in 1683 was rescued from slavery, from Turkish despotism, from Mussulmaa tyranny, by Polish bravery, that in 1831 witnesses the agony of that illustrious nation, attd gives nothing—but weds of pity. If in former ages Poland .bad confined herself to words of pity, Vienna would have now been an heap of ruins; the Turk would have trampled on Europe, the crescent of Mahomet would have waved triumphant over the cross of Christ S But not with words of pity, riot with unmeaning pro fessions, did Poland assist her Allies ! She spoke in their behalf through the thunder of her cannon, and advocated their rights by the shock of her lances ! She sent as an avenger John Sohiesid, of whom the Priest exclaimed in theca hedral of Vienna, " There was a man sent from Heaven, and his name was John." L'ttle did Sobieski, little did the gallant band of heroes, who attended him on his triumphant progress through the streets of Vienna, amidst the thanks and enthusiastic gra titude of the liberated Austrians; little did they sus pect that on some future day their descendants should be threatened with destruction; and that ungrateful Austria should not merely abstain from assis•ing them, but even appear to countenance their oppressors. When 1 reflect on the glories of Poland—when I consider the deep debt of gratitude owed her by Europe ;—and when, on the other hand, I reflect on the passive apathy with which free and Christian States have seen her insulted, partitioned, devas tated, but yet not subdued in spirit—for what can subdue the spirit of men determined rather to die as freemen than to live as slaves-1 feel shame for Europe, shame for England, shame for the Chris tian world. 1 mean no dispaiagement to Belgium, but surely Poland has much higher claims on Frane, atta Eng land than the Belgians have.. Shall future history say that France sent her armies, that 111# gland sent her fleet, to decide a contest about protocols in Bel gium; but that at the same moment Poland, after having, s ith unexampled heroism defended the independence of her territory, was in the mortal agony of her glory; and yet the fleets and armies of England and Fiance, ‘s hich could go to de fend protocols in Belgium, could not be sent to de fend Polish liberty and existence. Shall scoffing :Aid deriding posterity say, that these two great Powers could limit the boundaries of Holland, yet not dHre to check the encroathments of Russia— could feel sympathy for the merchants of Antwerp, . . . but none for the freemen of Warsaw—could drive the Dutch from Belgium, but could not expel the Russians from the land that gave birth to So bieski and Kosciusko ? England and France have guaranteed the safety of Antwerp—have they gua ranteed the safety of Warsaw ? Have they told the Russian General that the first bomb thrown into Warsnto shall be the signal for the march of a French army ? But, say the renders of France, and the fund holders of England, the gentlemen whose object, as an intelligent correspondent of the Morning Chro nicle observes, is not national glory, but—three per vents. at nine/31! Oh, say they, in Belgium there is trade, commerce, and the expense of a war with Holland will be trifling, and we may chance to get reimbursed by the Dutch coffers—but to march far north, to set out on a Quixotic expedition about liberty and freedom, why, it is a pretty poetical rhapsody, but who would seriously think of it ? But, gentle men rentiers and fundholders, do you think you Lave no interest in establishing an independent king. darn between the great empires of Europe ? Are you so short-sighted as not to see how the peace of Europe would be consolidated, if the ancient king dom of Poland was established as a barrier between the great monarchies of the continent ? Gentlemen renders, go to your books, and calculate the gain of this, and then give your opinion on the Polish ques tion. - But whilst the rentiers calculate, and diplomatists debate, unfortunate Poland bleeds, perhaps expires ! Ere this, in all probability, the Russian masses threaten Warsaw, and the conflict rages round that city; that if it falls, it will full gloriously, and in a manner becoming the capital of a nation of heroes and patriots, admits not of a doubt. But, mean while, let Englishmen, let Europe, remember, that from the walls of Warsaw, as did the Austrian from those of Vienna in days of yore, the free Pole looks out each day for succour. For the honour of Eng land and of Europe, may he not look out in vain. Let me, in conclusion, Sir, exhort the British public, through the medium of your impartial Jour nal, to manifest, without delay, their opinions in this cause. Time press: s; each day, each hour, is of importance to the cause of Poland. Let me hope that public meetings will be called without delay throughout the empire. Let the Government see that if they interfere in savour of Poland, the nation, as one man, will 'econd their measures; and let a voice go forth from the freemen of England that shall startle the Northern Autocrat, and check the progress of his armies Your obedient servant. ALPHA. --- Dr. PARts's little work, called "Philosophy in Sport made Science in Earnest," is now generally adopted at almost all the fashionable seminaries in and round the metropolis as a class-book. No work recently published conducts the young reader in so amusing, and it may be safely asserted in so delightful, a manner, to use ful and solid information. The work is illustrated by CRUIKSTIANK with his usual felicity. A letter from Amsterdam states that the mer chants of that city have shown the greatest enthusiasm in subscribing towards a patriotic loan to defray the expences of carrying on the war, or, at least, in assisting to do so. Subscribers' signatures were received on the Exchange, and within one hour six millions of florins (about half h million sterling) were subscribed. T he war there, as in most of the maritime towns, was extremely populir. EXPRESS titt)Ni 131WSSELS. (From the Timcs.) BRUSSELS, Arc. 10. The rout of the army of General Daine has been con fir.nel by various persons who have arrived from Liege and its neighbourhood. It is now admitted to have been wost co.nplete, and that even without firing a shot. It was a rake from one place to another, as it in titsrlibed ; bat nevertheless it is to-day atilrurved 1)1, , the Moniteur Beige that this army has and General Daine having been di=placed by Gtinetat Goethals, every preparatiim is ina,le to withstand the attack of the Dutch.

A great panic perv(ides late braggarts of the Belgian army, and el!. are anxious to know not only if the French trt , oo lie arrived, but also if the English fleet has entered the Scheldt to protect them.

Numbers have therefore been sent ba•cl: to their villages. The French army has entered Belgium in three columns so as to reach Ghent, Namur, and Louvain, by neatly the same moment. This evening it is expected that 2,500 French cavalry will have rear '±'d the latter place. None are to enter this tity. • The t7't t'reneh Princes and Marshal Gerard are ex pectral this evening in Brussels, and suitable residences are provided for them ; the former at the house of the Duke A'Aremberg, and the latter at the hotel lately occupied by the Regent. The fate of the Ilegent is not known ; it is feared that he N'a'y have fallen into the hands of the Dutch, who wilt W; doubt exhibit him in a cage. "Great complaints are made of the loose irregular manner in which the official reports are made from the army and other offices. From Antwerp the new. is alarming. As it seethe ex pected that the Dutch fleet will attempt to pass up the F,cheltlt, to-night it is feared an attack will be made from the Forts du Nord, and, consequently, that the citadel will bombard the city. General Chastener ha arrived in Brnssels with a com mission from King Leopold to go to meet the French Prlnz,'es and Marshal; and to accomp►ny tl:ein on their j ,, tirney to this city. It is stated that Leopold, in his eag mess to become ac quainted with the state of the Dutch, va hose forces made yesterday three fils7 attacks on his troops, had a horse -hot unite a him. It is stated that he told the troops, in case of his falling, to take care to have his brother elected King in his room. Sir R. Adair, the British Ambaseador ) and his suite, have gone to-day to be presented In his Alajesty, in a pri vate capacity ► artl in order to know when it may be con venient to receive them publicly. The answer of the Conference to the King of Holland is spoken of as being an extraordinary document. I have not as yet seen a copy of it. PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL GERARD TO THE FRENCH SOLDIERS. ARMY OF THE NORTH. c Soldiers !--The army is called upon to protect the in dependence of the people, whom France places at the head of her friends. His ;Majesty the King of the Belgians shall not in vain have called for the protection of the King of the French. The Dutch, who know the jealousy of the Belgians, have again attempted to provoke it by troubling the peace of Europe, in despite of the Great Powers, who by mutual accord have guaranteed the inde pendence and the neutrality of the Belgians. Soldiers, we are going to defend the cause of France, by supporting our ally. You will do honour to the name of Frenchmen by your conduct in a friendly country ; by it you will answer the expectation of our King, who counts on your disci pline as much as he is convinced of your cour , ge. " Head-quarters, at Mauhege, Aug. 9. (Signed) " Count GRARI)., 'Marshal of France." The following is the letter addressed by Gen. Chasse to the Governor of Antwerp, in which he denounces the armistice : " M. General,—By virtue of the orders of my Govern ment, which hots not thought proper to ratify the provisional convention decisled upon between his Exceilency Lieute nant-General and Peer of France, Count Belliard, and me, on the Gth inst., I find myself cAlled upon to denounce anew, the suspension of hostilities, the continuance of which is to commence to-morrow, the 9(h, at eleven o'clock at night. " While having the honour to make this communica- ;ion to yon, I think it however fit to apprise you that the city of Antwerp will not have to,endure the horrors of war to which it is exposed from its position, except in case of an aggression, which may oblige me to use reprisals, or if the proceedings of war shall oblige me thereto. " Receive, &c. (Signed) " Baron CHASSE." I send two of the evening papers, but it is difficult to place any reliance in their statements, for they do not hesitate not only to discolour facts, but to mutilate or sup press whatever is disadvantageous to their interests. Great complaints are made of the treachery of several officers. Some of them have been arrested. A Major has this evening been led on foot into Brussels, with his arms pinioned behind him. The Government threatens the partisans of the Orange family with summary vengeance; but, as yet, I have seen nothing of their attempts, at least in this city. The head-quarters remain at Louvain. The army of General Tit ken dc Terhove is placed between Louvain and Aerechot. Norhing of a warlike nature is spoken of as occurring in the province of Flanders. (From the Morning Herald.) BRUSSELS, Wednesday Evening, Seven o'clock. ENTRY of the DUKES of ORLEANS and NEMOURS with the FRENCH ARMY, into BELGIUM. The French army, divided into three columns, entered Belgium yesterday. One column take the route to Ferns and Ghent, another towards Brussels, and the third to Liege and the Banks of the Meuse. The last column reached Namur yesterday; and by this time are probably at Liege. It is not expected that the army will come into Brussels, but march to Louvain by Wavre. The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours are expected in Brussels this even ing. Marquis Charteler is gone to meet them. With respect to General Daine and the army of the Meuse, the information I forwarded yesterday is per fectly correct. Te-day it is reported that the army has again rallied, and proceeded to Tongres; that the soldiers are well disposed, but have been betrayed by their officers. I am afraid that there are a great many traitors and spies in the Belgian army. It is said that General Daine shot a Major on the field of battle for treachery ; and this afternoon another Major has been brought into Brussels with his arms pinioned. It is not to be wondered at that men—l cannot yet call them soldiers—should not stand firm when their officers, in the piy of the enemy, are using all their efforts to get them slaughtered. General Daine has appointed a Commission of officers to take the command of the army, intending, to proceed to head-quarters and demand an investigation into his conduct. General Goethals bas been appointed to take the command of the army of the Meuse. He is an old officer, and every way calculated. " The King is constantly at the head of his troops, and it is said had a horse shot under bins yesterday. It is also said, that in haranguing the troops, he told them that should he fall, he would advise them to elect his brother. There are upwards of 40,000 volunteers with the King, and an order has been issued that no more should be sent to head-quarters. It is said that upwards of 40,000 French volunteers follow the army. The populace in Brussels are very agitated. The unex pected defeat of Daine has quite dispirited them, added to which, the barricading the towns of Louvain and Liege, has not a little assisted. Leopold, notwithstanding his re verses, remains cool and firm at his post. The force of the Dutch is variously stated ; some say there are upwards of 30,000 in the neighbourhood of Hasselt, where the action of Monday took place. Let them have few or many,they have *hewn themselves soldiers, and this causes nee to credit th e re p or t o f th e grea t er p ar t b e i n g Prussians. It is even said that General Dame, at the commencement of the action, took six pieces of cannon with the Prussian arms upon them. The Army of the Scheldt i‘ in the neighbourhood of 'Louvain. It is not a little surprising that General Duviviere, an rpld officer, of great merit, and who served a long time wider Busnaparle, although cuitmlimliug the second divi• sion in this district, is always walking the streets in plait clothes, nor has he ever been in military clothing since th, commencement of hostilities. He applied some days sing for a command—it was promised ; bttt the order ha rot yet arrived. There tut.ts htt soiiie reason. In the nrY.hlinktrhouti of the left kink of the Scheldt and Ghent the armies are almost in a state of arm'stice— slight skirmishes, but of no moment. Attention is turned only to the armies of the Scheldt &ild BRUSSELS, Auc. 9. The following I believe to be the exact position of the two coils or the Dutch army. They occupy the left hank of the river Getty, and the villages and tee:ns cf Gott., Deett, Selk, yelper, Bet, I,ean, and Duras. The BelOana -, - :,tr.:essi , n of the oppo,ite bank of tilt rivet, t.srid - Waelen and Werk, with an open communication with Tirlemont, St. Trend, and Tongre.. There are several Prussians among the prisoners taken by the Belgians. According to a report of General Yanderlileer, Com mander of the o.d diti,loh, and OnVeyndr of Liege, there has 17en wine Sharp fighting hear ilechteren. Tl!e Bel giana say they have taken thrt.e cannon's, a nag, a Colonel, and several p'risoners'. the General concludeeby stating that, accord cg to 'private letters, the number of prisoners are upwards of 3,000. This requires confirmation, and is not credited. . Antwerp is, as I informed you this morning,. perfectly tranquil, and Commissioners are occupied in tracing the limits to be observed bet . Wreen the citadel and the city. Thus r.re 'Lay conclude the armistice is likely to be per manent, and this fine city saved. The people here are not astonished at. the insurrection in Java. They say they had long expected it ; and that emissaries were sent over for the purpose of exciting the troops to revolt, three fifths of whop► are 13elgians. Al ready streral young men have vo'unteered to go to the colonies. _ . The Moniteur Beige, in en article of this evening, says that a junction has been formed between the armies of the Scheldt and the Meuse. I attach little credit to this information. I only left the army of the Scheldt my self yesterthy evening at eight o'clock, and then it was not even positively known where the army of the Meuse was; besides, from the position in the engagement with General Georges it is almost impossible they could have, even by famed marches, obtained this desirable object. Sir Robert Adair arrived at half-past two o'clock. Tuesday, half-past Seven. It is just stated that• General Chasse has declared the re newal of hostilities at Antwerp this night at eleven o'ch , ek. Tuesday, Ten o'c'ock. DEFEAT OF THE ARMY OF THE MEUSE, COMMANDED BY GENERAL DAINE. We are in great consternation. It is official that Chaps, has received orders from the Hague to renew hostilities, the King I f Holland declining to sanction the armistice as hid down by General Belliad. Yet the General declares. so long as Antwerp does not molest the citadel, he will not bombard it.—This, 1 am afraid, is only a ruse, and that the next account we shall have will be his possession of the city by a coup dc main. This would have been bad news enough, but, to add to the misfortune, General Wire, with the army of the Meuse, has been beaten, it is said only slightly, but I am informed it is almost a total defeat The French have entered Belgium, and are on this side of Mons. The conduct of Sir C'. Bagot is freely canvassed, and great blame is im• puted to him for keeping the British Government igno rant of the Dutch movements. I have seen a letter from Aix-la-Chapelle. The Prussians are there in considerable numbers. The accounts from Berlin are also of a warlike nature. The conduct of General Daine has been for some time a subject of discussion, and serious hints have been thrown out as to his attachment to Leopold. lam afraid this defeat will not lessen the suspicion. Several officers of high rank have been arrested. I shall go to-morrow harming to the head-quarters of the King. Six waggons of wounded soldiers have just entered the city. There were aLout 150 of the most miserable crea tures in them. TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE BELGIAN ARMY OF THE AIEUSE. Headquarters of the King at Louvain, Tuesday, Twelve o'clock. _ . Information has just been received that the whole of the Belgian army is defeated, and in full retreat—that the King, in great haste, was compelled to quit Aeeschot for i-ouvain, and is hourly expected at Brussels. It ap pears that at the first charge of the Dutch army, the cavalry of General Da;ne retreated in great disorder upon the ranks of the infantry, and put the whole army into confusion. The re it guard flew in all di rection ; nor was the line backward in following their example. The whole of the army is scattered, and the greater part have token refuge in Liege. The Dutch have possession of all their baggage, artillery, and ammu nition. Treason is being cried in the streets of Liege. Several Members of the Congress, with the President (NI. Gerlache) have just arrived here in great haste ; they left Liege in great fear. The inhabitants were flocking from that city. The army of the Scheidt, under General Tieken de Terhove, has retreated to Louvain, and are ex pected in this neighbourhood. At this late hour of the night the streets of Brussels are filled with anxious inquirers. The Dutch army was commanded by the Prince of Orange and Prince Frederick. CHOLERA MORBUS. ST.

Very little business done yesterday, and the only bets made on the St. Leger were confined to Brother to Tarrare, Chorister, and two or three outsiders. The odds continue pretty nearly the same on the Goodwood races. A note from Lord John Fitzroy was posted up, stating that Oxygen will not start for the Drawing_ Room Stakes ; it was dated Brighton, eight o'clock Wednesday morning; and its effect will be, perhaps, that Zany will start, but on this point much doubt prevails.

Eti, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 12, 1831. The Belgians, under the command of General DAISH, amounting to about 10,000 men, and com posing the army of the Meuse, were totally de feated on Monday morning near Hasselt. The Dwell troops took them by surprise. The Belgian horses are said to have been so frightened at the sound of the Dutch artillery that they fled precipi tately, and in their retreat broke through the in fantry, so that a total route was the consequence. Part of the fugitives escaped to Liege—and others to Louvain, whither King LEOPOLD . repaired, with the army of the Scheldt, in order to cover Brussels. Things were in the greatest confusion on Tuesday arid Wednesday at Brussel , . On Tuesday the French army appears to have en tered Belgium in three divisions, marching on Ghent, Louvain, and Namur, at which places they were ex pected to arrive nearly at the same time. Now the centre division was calculated to reach Louvain on Wednesday evening, so that it weuld just be in time to welcome the Dutch, should they have penetrated so far—a circumstance not unlikely. But then, at that critical moment, a difficulty may present itself which the Dutch, flushed with recent victory, will not relish, and which the Belgians, smarting under defeat and sure of French assistance, will not choose to comprehend—an armistice ! will be announced by the King of HOLLAND, and his troops be ordered to withdraw from Belgium, leaving the Belgians in disgrace and cheating the French of their promised glory ! How will this delicate, but very probable contingency be adjusted ? A day or two will decide ; but we fear that materials have been brought into juxta-position, too prone to ignition for prudence to avert an explosion. It will be seen by the extracts from the Hague that the march of the French army was known there on the 9th, but the matter is treated with so much pleasantry that we entertain streng doubts of King WILLIAM'S readiness in countermanding the advance of his army, and still greater doubts of their obeying such commands unless backed by the more forcible arguments of the French. Although Lord PALMERSTON has stated that ne gociations are about to recommence on the subject of Belgium, how will these negociations be affected by the withdrawal of the French army, sup posing that it will withdraw—and then again what will be the fate of the French Ministry upon its recal of the French army ? Can the Ministry stand against the torrent of public indignation and sympathy now so strongly expressed in favour of the Poles, without the army having accomplished any thing for the cause of independence in the North ? We think not—nay we are morally certain that the present or no other Ministry can exist in France, unless it demand and accomplish the independence of Poland. The following are extracts : THE SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES- GENERAL. THE HAGUE, AUG. 9. The Address to the King having been unanimously agreed to after a few alterations, and having been sent to the First Chamber, a message was received from that Chamber announcing— . 1. That it bad not agreed to the project of law re specting the Treasury notes, and ha-1 therefore requested his Majesty to take it into f 'rater consideration. "2. That it agreed to the project of law respecting the voluntary and forced loan, and to the Address to be pre sented to the King by the States-General, in answer to the communication made by his Excellency the Minister of Foreign Aff*irs in the Sitting of the sth inst." The Committee appointed to present the Address to the King, waited on his Majesty for that put pose at one o'clock r and was most graciously received. The substance of this, his answer, was as follows : " That his Majesty learned with pleasure that the address of the States-General had been unanimously adopted by both Chambers —that his Majesty was so greatly affected by the proof of generous patriotism which it contained, that he could not find words properly to express his feel ings—that his Majesty could give the States-General the gratifying information that provisio❑ was made for the public expenditure to the end of the year, so that no forced loan would be required—th it his Majesty was satisfied with the conduct of the army and the navy, which emu lated each other in courage, fidelity, and patriotism,. to maintain the independence of the State. Lastly, his Ma jesty announced that the day after to-morrow (Thursday) more particular political communications will be made to the Chamber, respecting which his Majesty could not now enter into details." His Majesty's frigate the Rupd, Captain Tiltuan, front Batavia, has arrived safe in the Texel. BaT.vaa, Maxcfr B.—The accounts which we have received from Europe come down to the end of October. The diy before yesterday, the Phenomene, Captain G. Mengel's, arrived in the road : she left Amsterdam on the 23d of October. (The remainder of the news from Batavia consists only of nominations by the Governor in Council ) BeRLW, Auu. S.AND 6.—The Prussian State Ga zette, of the above dates, gives some accounts from War saw, dated 23th of July, of which the following it the substance :—The danger is coming nearer, and begins to be more and more urgent. In order to encourage the people, and to set an example of every - effort, the Deputies to the Diet are to assemble on the ramparts to-morrow, to work on the fortifications. The substance of the articles respecting the military operations is as follows :-- On the 22d the Russian General Gerstenzvieg set out from the environs of Sochochin, intending to proceed by the road from Pultusk to Niessawa, there to join Count Paskewitsch. The Polish General, Aluelberg, having marched in that direction to - hinder him, an action took place on the 23d, in which the Russians are stated to have lost some officers and about fifty men killed, wounded, and prisoners. The Poles say they lost two superior officers, and twenty men killed or wounded. General Gerstenzvieg finding he could not proceed in that direction, recrossed the Ukra, breaking down the bridges behind him, and re turned to Ciechanow. TLe Warsuw State Gazette says, that General Gerstenzvieg afterwards marched along the Ukra, and with his corps joined the army under Count Paskew itscb. The Russians, says the Warsaw Gazette, are march ing along the left bank of the Vistula, and occupy Kowa), but it is not confirmed that Krasniewie is in their hands. The direct communication between Kolo and Klodawa is interrupted At Wlozcawick the landsturm had an tetinn with th 6 enemy. They took the towu three times. but were at length driven out, and forced to retreat. Nlany cost irks were killed. Tt.e Russians arc said to 'lave occupied Kutno on the 25th, but the post from that place has since arrived at Warsaw. General Rudiger still remains on the Wieprz, supported the 9th division of infantry, under General Ku pranoffi and the corps of General kaiAa m it. The two corps of Rudiger and kaisaroff amount to 32,000 men. It appears from accounts from Prussia that Generals Dembinski and Sierakowski are still in Lithuania. The State Gazette of Warsaw says that the Russians have collected 90,000 men to put down the insurrection in Lithuania. The Warsaw Courier says it is positively affirmed that General Krokowiecki will again fill the important pit of Governor of the city of Warsaw. (From the Journal de la Hive.) TEE HAGUE, Aneuir 9.—lt is said that France will immediately send to Belgium 50,000 men tinder Marshal Gerard. These men, it is added, come to seen.e the inde pendence of Belgium. Now 13e1gium has no independence but that which is guaranteed to it by the lootocol+ of the conference at London. But Holland requires tl.e execu• tion of these protocols ; it is Belgium that rej,-cts them. The separation, as laid down in supplement A to the 12t1t protocol, is what Holland desires in concert with the conference. It would he pleasant if France should come to Belgium to force us, in the name of the conference, to do the contrary of what the conference itself has ordered. We think that the step t A:en by France is only a me nace, which will not he followed by any effects, for if France desires the maintenance of the protocol it agrees with us, and there is no reason to fight.

Exchange on London Tao Months In another column will be found a let ter from our patriotic correspondent, " Alpha," on the subject of • Poland, which puts the question in its prop• r The writer speaks to the point, when he says that the Poles have much stronger claims on France and England than rite Belgians; though he makes, we fear, an idle appeal, when he endeavours to enlist the chivalrous feelings of the tem countries in behalf of the heroic countrymen of SOBIEsKI and liosulusKo ; for, as BURKE observed, so long ago as ninety-seven, " the days of chivalry are past" never to return. But setting aside all ro mantic notions, surely justice, and even expediency —that favourite phrase among modern statesmen — demand that Poland should be rescued from the fangs of Russ'a ! A Whig Government is, mare than any other, bound to see this act of just'ce done, for, from time immemorial, the Wiligs have been preaching up the doctrines of liberality and the independence of nations. At the period of the execrable partition of Poland, who so loud in their abhorrence of that measure as the Whigs ? Who so full of eloquent and virtuous indignation Ln the subject ? Who so uncompromising in their condemnation of the supineness of the Govern merit of that day, for assenting to such an act of perfidy and despotism ? We hope that office —which we know makes strange havoc with the memories of public men, and which is a sort of Lethe, of which he who drinks is from that moment rendered oblivious of the past—will not have the effect of disordering the recollection of the Whigs as respects Poland. Above all, we hope that Earl GREY w►ll not forget the sweeping de nunciations of Mr. GREY on this important ques tion. But whether Ministers do, or do not, fulfil their duty towards Poland, the country, we trust and believe, will not be neglectful of her's, but show by public meetings and mu nificent public subscriptions, how ardently she de sires the independence, full and unqualified, of one of the most heroic nations of Europe. The same principle that applies to Belgium, applies equally, ar►d even with stronger force, to Poland. If one should be independent, so should the other be. If one should be taken under the protection of France and England, so should the other he. If one should be petted arid patronized and protocolled, so should the other be. In like manner if France and England solemn'y and offi cially assert that the King of HOLLAND is in the wrong, they should assert that the Emperor of RUSSIA is ten thousand times more so. They have already stated that the former, at their instigation, has consented to withdraw his troops from Belgium, why then do they not exert the same ir4luence to in duce the latter to withdraw his banditti from Poland? Is it because Holland is weak, and has no power to resist the urgent remonstrances of England and . France, that they summon her peremptorily to obey their behest ; and that Russia is strong and can defie them, that they leave her to pursue her own cour.e unmolested ? For the honour of the two Cabinets we should hope not. That important portion of the Bill, which iefers to :he divisions of counties, was carried lu , t night in ;he House of Commons by 211 to 132. We regret :his much, for we fear it will occasion deep dissa- tisfaction throughout the country. It is clearly a compromise between Government and the Borough mongers, the latter of whom are to receive com pensation in rotten counties, for the loss of their rotten boroughs. Mr. O'CONNELL opposed, and Mr. LOWTHER supported Ministers! An animated discussion took place last night in the Lower House, on the subject of disarming the Irish yeomanry. The question is a momentous one, and occasions extraordinary interest in the sister country. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, AM. 11.—Wind S.E. light.—The squadron under Sir C.
