IB.—A Royal ordinance of the 12th January directs that the offices of the Director- General and Administrators of the Registry be suppressed. JAN. 1 8.—The King yesterday presided at a Council of Ministers. His Majesty afterwards re ceived deputations from the National Guards of various districts, with c ongratulatory addresses. The Administration of the Registry and of the Domains shall in future be carried on by a Director and four Sub-Directors, forming with him the Council of Administration over which he is to preside. The salary of the Director of the Registry and Domains is fixed at 20,000 francs, and that of the Sub-Directors at 12,000. It is perfectly true that there is some intention to transfer to the citadel of Amiens two of the pri soners at 11am. A Colonel of Engineers has lately inspected the apartments of M. Virgil, which will be made into a prison for the two Ex-Ministers as soon as walls have been erected around that part of the building. The Colonel has made his report to the Government, and its decision is shortly expected. The Minister of Public Worship has just ad dressed the following circular to the different Bishops : " My Lord,—The baptism of new-bern infants requires the greatest precaution on the part of Ministers of worship ; precautions which, if neglected, must occasion the moot serious consequences. In the opinion of men of science the application of cold water, throwu upon delicate organs, may prove fatal, and experience has, unfortunately, esta blished the truth of this observation. Warm water is generally used for this ceremony, but in some places this precaution is neglected, although serious injuries may result. " One of these unfortunate accidents has just occurred, and has come to my knowledge. I, therefore, think it my duty, for the above weighty reasons, to claim the inter vention of your jurisdiction with the Curates and co adjutors in your diocese, to make them (at least in the severe season) use only warm water for the ceremony of baptism. You will, no doubt, see the necessity of in sisting on this obligation : humanity and religion pre scribe its adoption. " You will not, my Lord, find it difficult to convince them of the extent of responsibility that a culpable negli gence in this respect will entail on them in the eyes of tamilies and society in general. " BARTHE." The Courrier adds the following note to the above circular : " It would have given us much surprise to have learned that M. Barihe had recourse to an appeal which is for bidden by the Concordat, had we not known that the offices of that department (public worship) are now nearly the same as under the direction of M. Frayssinous." (From the Courrier Francais of Tuesday.) PARIS, JAN. 17.—1 n the meeting of the Deputies who assembled in the rue de Richelieu, and which was most numerously attended this evening, it was unanimously resolved to advocate in the Chamber the necessity of having 200,004) electors, of fixing the qualification at 200 francs, of completing the colleges of the departments in which the above sum would not produce the number of electors, by esta blishing a minimum, and by admitting certain pro fessions, such as teachers, retired officers, advocates, attorneys, and notaries. The Deputies of Brittany and of the south could not perceive the inconvenience of lowering the rate to 200 francs. WARSAW, JAN. 3.—By an order of the Ist inst. the Dictator has appointed the General of Division, Zoltowski, Inspector- General of the 3d and 4th battalions, added to the existing regiments ; and the General of Division, Zymirki, Comrrander of the 2d division of infantry. M. Thomas Lebrun is appointed Director of the Chancery of the Dicta torship. The former Chief of Squadron of the Imperisl Guard of Napoleon, Ambroise Skarzinski, is to take the command of the new regiment of cavalry of Warsaw. (From the Journal des Debats of Tuesday.) PARIS, JAN. 17.—England does not deserve to be stationed at the out-posts of the Holy Alliance, as has been remarked by an eloquent Member at the tribune in a recent sitting. The chilling politeness of the Duke of Wellington towards our revolution, without doubt, hastened the downfall of the Admi nistration of which he was the leader. This does not exhibit a nation readily excited against the prin ciple which has triumphed in the events of Paris. The Duke of Wellington has given way for a Ministry which counts among its members some of the oldest and most constant defenders of European liberty. " Why, therefore, arouse without any cause the rivalry arid hatred of a former age, and which were every day decreasing from the influential pro gress of reason and sound philosophy ? Why, as soon as an alarm of enemies was heard in France, did some people exclaim against England with the same strength of prejudice as existed when both countries were at the greatest enmity ? ST. PETERSBURGII, JAN. I.—On the 28th ult. the Grand Duke Michael presented to the Generalis simo, Diebitsch Sabalkanski, the corps of officers of all ranks belonging to the active army. WARSAW, JAN. .s.—Since the proclamation of Nicholas has been published, an enthusiasm supe rior to any displayed in the former struggles for liberty has pervaded all classes of citizens. The army is now on its march towards the frontiers. The struggle promises to be a bloody one, for the Poles will not submit unconditionally, and the lan guage of the Emperor is too decided to admit of any doubt of his endeavouring to carry his threats into execution. The National Council have directed the Commis sion of Government to accede to the wish ex pressed by the Jews to be admitted into the Na tional Guard. The artillery barracks occupied by the Volhynian Guard have been converted into a manufactory of arms. The Dictator has applied several millions of florins to that object. It is expected that 60,000 stand of arms will be soon ready, each workshop manufacturing 600 muskets daily—(Query.) (From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.) WARSAW, JAN. 6.—We are still threatened with the cholera morbus. Fortunately, it has not as yet appeared in Poland. It is said to have broken out in Gallicia and Volhynia. In all probability the Russian army will bring it to us, whence it will spread into Germany. This must be a subject of reflection for Europe. The Diet, in its short Session, had laid the basis of a manifesto of the Polish nation, which was only to appear after every hope of a pacific arrangement should have been given up. That manifesto will appear in two or three days. Its publication will remove every possibility of an arrangement. (From the National of Tuesday.) It is said that an army of 80,000 Austrians is about to be formed in the neighbourhood of Lintz. General Rumigny, Aide-de-Camp of the King, is said to have left town this morning for La Ven dee, where some difficulties seem to have arisen in the levying of the conscripts. A great number of workmen are at this moment employed in clearing and improving the harbour of Boulogne-sur-Mer. INTERVENTION OF TURKEY IN THE AFFAIRS OF POLAND. PARIS, JAN. 17.—One nation, from amongst all the people of Europe, has protested (and not by fruitless wishes) against the slavery of Poland.— That nation is no other than Turkey. Whilst we witnessed with cold indifferenc e the destruction of a courageous republic, the only barrier which de fended Europe against the invasions of Russia, the Turks took up arms, and ran the chance of war. They are, no doubt, called barbarians, in opposition to our selfish civilization. Singular spe cies of barbarity, which defends the sworn and Divine Alliance, the true interests of Europe. Upon the death of Frederick Augustus 111. the troubles ex cited by Russia caused at Warsaw the election of the King recommended by Catherine. War was unanimously resolved upon in a Special Council, held in the presence of the Sultan Mustapha 111., and composed of all the Ministers, the principal men in the law, the chiefs of the Janissaries, and various military officers. This took place in the year 1768. Turkey entered into a contest against a powerful opponent, and maintained it during five years ; but, soon shamefully abandoned by those very Powers which engaged her in this warfare with the promises of support, she was obliged to purchase the peace of Kainardje with the sacrifice of her fleet at Tschesme and her richest provinces. If we go farther back, the war of 1786 was determined on for the purpose of punishing the attempts denounced by the manifesto of 1768. If a general contest takes place with Russia to dispute its right to seize on the wreck of brave Poland, the Divan will produce from its archives the protest which the Confederation of Bar issued in more fortunate times. A letter from Vigo contains an account of another atrocity committed by Don Miguel : " Don Manuel Barros, formerly a political chief in Gallicia, having been engaged in the late Consti tutional movements, fled to Portugal, with his son, aged 16 or 17. They lived in concealment at Lis bon. The young man, watched by the police, was seized, as he was carrying a letter to the post office. He was thrown into prison, and was secretly kept there fifteen days, and almost starved to death, with the view of forcing him to declare the place where his father was concealed. The young man's resolution being proof against this infamous treat ment, his gaolers came to the abominable resolution of putting him to the torture ! He was placed upon the fatal rack, and his limbs were broken in this shocking manner. The secret at last escaped from him in his cries of agony, and his father was brought to the same prison, and will immediately be handed over to the tortures of Ferdinand. The young man is dying, without any hope of recovery. Such are the marks of alliance and friendly feelings which cement the union of the two tyrants of the Peninsula. PAR LB, JAN. 19.—The Count de Celles, whose arrival at Paris from Belgium we have already men tioned, is said to have come hither, not to propose the re-union of Belgium with France, or the Crown of Belgium to a French Prince, as has been reported, but simply to replace M. Rogier, whose intercourse with the Minister for Foreign Affairs (General Se bastiani) could not, after recent events, be of the nature so desirable, and, indeed, necessary, at this juncture. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Wed nesday last in discussing the new system of taxation. The Me:sager des Chambres of the 20th (yes terday), contains the new law for regulating the French theatres and drama, which we shall give to-morrow. The National Guards Bill, which was to have been presented to the Chamber of Peers yesterday (Thursday), will be abandoned. BOURSE, HALF-PAST FOUIL—The Funds have experienced another slight improvement ; but the continued apprehension that war will take place has prevented any marked alteration for the better.

RUSSIA. (FROM OUR PRIVATE CORRESPONDENT.) ST. PETERSBURGH, DEC. 30.—1 hope you have received the Proclamations of his Majesty the Em peror which I have sent you, relative to Poland— the one addressed to the Poles, and the other to the Russians. If you have not, it is no importance, since I sent them by means which I could not rely upon. I only addressed you a few words, of little importance. This letter, on the contrary, I know you will receive in due course ; and therefore, as I have half-an-hour which I can devote to you, I will do so with pleasure. The Polish Minister of Finances, and the Nuncio of the Diet, have arrived in this city, and have been received by the Em peror. In order to have the appearance of not act ing with less decision than announced by the Em peror in his Proclamation to the Russians, there was an affected correspondence before the inter view, in which the envoys pretended to have no proposals to make, and the Emperor affected to treat with contempt the insurrection in Po land. But those who know what is going on here, as far as any thing can be known, are aware that this affected indifference and firmness of the Emperor were put on to awe the Representatives of Foreign Powers here, and to strike terror into the Poles. I cannot say whether it will have the latter effect, but I can assure you it did not deceive those here, who are connected with the diplomatic circles. Lubecki was obliged to adopt the forms prescribed to him, as otherwise his mission would be useless; but when he was admitted to the presence of the Emperor, it is said that he made a full expose of the griefs of Poland,and the nature of the late revolution. I firmly believe that this expose even produced a painful effect on his Majesty's feelings, though, no doubt, he concealed them as much as lie could. Jesierski possesses the confidence of the Emperor, and is indeed devoted to his interests. I dare say you will be told in those precious documents, called " commercial letters" from St. Petersburgh—in which no truth dare be told, er the writers would be sent to Siberia or out of the empire, and the letters destroyed—that these Polish Representatives were not well received, and that the Emperor treated the Revolution with contempt. I have every reason for believing that just the reverse of this was true, and that the frank statement of Lubecki made a very deep impression. Although, therefore, the Field Marshal Diebitsch Sabalkansky is to leave this city to-day or to-morrow for the army, you may rely or. it that adverse operations will not begin without further examination. Count Zamoyski, the President of the Polish Senate, has also arrived here, and his councils will be asked for. The pro clamation which I sent you last, and which was made by the Emperor to the Russians, had not merely the object of alarming the Poles, but of showing to the Russians that any revolts in this empire would be crushed. The Emperor is aware of the existence of great dissatisfaction in riot a few of the provinces of his vast empire ; but as the Russians are half barbarians, if we speak of the gross population, this proclamation will terrify them. You will perceive then, that the Emperor, is likely to pause before he commands his army to advance against Warsaw; and I am disposed to believe, that if the Poles shall consent to remain subject to the Emperor as King of Poland, they will have everything else acceded to them which they may reasonably desire. The Emperor is a sensible man, though he is imperious ; and he is not i gnoran t o f the expellee and danger of opposing an armed popu lation fighting for the national cause. CONGRATULATORY ADDRESS TO SIR ED WARD LEts.—Alr. J. J. BuTLER moved for the appoint ment of a Committee of t we l ve to prepare an a dd ress , congratulating that most efficient, valuable, and accom modating public officer, Sir EDWAR D LEES, upon his being retained as head of the Post-offic e department in Ireland. Mr. SUTTER, Sir EDWARD STANLEY, and Mr. SissoN, each supported the motion with a hi g h and well merited eulogium, and it passed unanimously. Upon the motion of Captain CorriNcirAm, seconded by Mr. Molter:, a Committee of five was appointed to propose an address to Mr. GREGORY upon his retirement from office. After some routine business the meeting adjourned to that day fortnight.—Dublin Morning Register. The new novel of " Mothers and Daughters" ought to have been put forward under the antiquated title of " The Young Man's," or " The Young Nobleman's Best Companion ;" for, in addition to the snares of matri monial scheming pointed out to his avoidance, the artful designs of male adventurers of his own condition in life are but in too accurately rev e aled.

The resolutions proposed to be moved by Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN, on the Exports and Imports, though not altogether unfit for con sideration, are not, we apprehend, likely to lead to any useful result. The worthy Alderman appears certainly to be actuated by a laudable zeal for the welfare of the numerous classes of persons engaged in manufacturing industry, but his resolutions do not point out with any clear ness the remedy to be applied to the state of things which he considers to be so ominous to the commercial interests of the country. Admit ting the accuracy of his quotations of returns, and of his calculations thereon, Mr. WAITII MAN'S resolutions cannot possibly be assented to without reference to the following considerations : Firstly—The second resolution assumes that the use of what is called " official value," in the public accounts, tends to propagate deception as to the state of the national trade. It is quite true that the official does not bear any such pro portion to the real value as to make it a crite rion of the latter, but that the former, being the computation of goods at fixed rates, esta blished in the year 1696, can now only be said to be the representative of quantity. There is no doubt an inconvenience in any practice which may lead the unwary into error, but the official value has this useful quality—that it affords the means of immediate comparison of the quanti ties of our Exports and Imports at any given periods from 1696 down to the present time. How then is this comparison to be made, if the official value were to be discontinued ? And in such an event, by what symbol are we to express the total quantity of our Exports and Imports ? the merchants' valuation fluctuating according to the price of the day, and being therefore, except with reference to the price current, useless in a statistical point of view. We would therefore desire that it should be stated what plan is pro posed to be substituted for the present financial algebra. We are not at all attached to that algebra merely from its antiquity, but inasmuch as it is eminently useful for statistical purposes, and is easy to be understood by any one that will take the trouble to enquire its meaning, we think that until a better mode of comparative corn. putation can be pointed out, it would be unwise to discontinue it. We are far from saying that no better mode can be devised ; on the contrary, we ourselves have a notion we could point out some improvements in the present system, but we do not understand that any has been sug gested by Mr. WAITIIMAN, and he is therefore somewhat premature in denouncing the mode now in use. Secondly—Be the real or official values what they may, it is certain that exportation and im portation have an indissoluble connection with each other, and that whatever leaves the country in the way of trade, will surely be replaced eventually by a proportionate quantity of foreign commodities. The extent to which production is carried is therefore the only true criterion of the progress of national wealth, and it h needless to add that the money prices of the goods pro duced can have nothing to do with the question. It is true that a state of things in which prices are generally falling, is unfavourable to industry, but it is the transition from an abundance to a comparative scarcity of money that has the in jurious effect, and not the greater or less quan tity of money that is actually in the country. If, lierefore, the prices of our manufactures, Like a the rest of our produce and property, have greatly fallen since the war, and subsequent periods, it in no wise follows that our productive energies are Unpaired. The very reverse is the fact, as appears by the increased quantity of our Exports, so justly referred to in the KING'S speech which Alderman WAITIINIAN impugns. One would suppose that the Alderman has made so little progress in political economy as to confound money with wealth, for, according to his argument, the country was richer during the war than at the present moment, and the prodigious strides that our industry has made in the interval have added nothing to our strength and power. lhis is a corollary to which, in assenting to the resolutions, we should be forced also to accede, and we must therefore take the liberty of protesting against doctrines so mani festly fallacious, and even absurd. Thirdly—There is a danger, indeed, threaten ing our trade, but the resolutions do not directly face it. They do not take the bull by the horns. The danger is, that a continuance of an erro neous and oppressive system of taxation—and of monopolies in the East and in the West, on laud and at sea, may reduce the profits of in dustry so low, as to make it no longer worth while to employ capital therein, and consequently encourage its transfer to other countries where enterprise may have less obstacles to contend with. Let Alderman WAITIIMAN stick fast to Financial Reform and Free Trade, and we will stand by him to the last. But we must be allowed to tell him, that by trifling about official value, and changes in the currency, he only em barrasses himself, and diverts the :attention of the public from the points of main importance to the general welfare. We have heard that Sir HENRY PARNELL intends to present the public with a new edition of his book on Financial Reform, at a price so cheap as to be within the reach of the common people. The sooner he does so the better. The evils of the present system cannot be too gene , rally made known. The present Vice-President of the Board of Trade exposed these evils last Session in a most masterly manner ; and the declarations of Lord ALTHORP, and other Members of the Government, have led the country to indulge a sanguine expectation that a Reform is at hand in this, as well as other matters. We may add that this expectation is not only too general, but too just, to admit of disappointment. We learn by our express from Paris that when the GRAND SEIGNIOR heard of the revo. lution in Poland, he expressed the most unbounded gratification, and instantly be thought himself of the inexpediency of paying the present amount of tribute exacted from him in the last Russian camp Sign against Turkey. This is just what we anticipated, and observed on a few days since. These Papers contain much miscellaneous matter, but none of any particular importance.— The Polish Revolution progresses, and the enthusiasm of the Poles is equal, if not superior, to that which they displayed in their glorious srruggles against SUWARROW and his Royal mistress CATHERINE. The 'Warsaw Govern ment have wisely resolved to allow the Jews to enrol themselves among the National Guard. The following are extracts from the Messager des Chambres, dated yesterday, and the other Paris Papers of Tuesday : (LATEST INTELLIGENCE. Great activity has prevailed within the last few days among the Foreign Ambassadors. It appears that the speeches lately delived in the Chamber by M. Manguin and General Lamarque have made a deep impression upon them . (From the Courricr Francais.) A new arrangement for Belgium by the Five Powers is now mentioned. It is not to become a kingdom, but to be formed into a Grand Duchy, to the head and Government of which will be called the Duke d'Aremberg, a Nobleman of the country possessing extensive landed estates. The following intelligence from Berne is of idle 14th inst.:—The Petty Council on the 10th inst. expressed its disapprobation of the enrolment of the soldiers lately in the service of France, and ordered that they should be dismissed. This produced a favourable impression among the people. We learn from Frontignen that a company of infantry on receiving orders to march fur the reinforcement of Berne, inquired the cause of this armament. Upon being told that it was with a view to protect the Govern ment, they unanimously declared they would march only to protect the frontiers. - Extract of a letter from Fribourg of the same date : " The first chapter of the Constitution was adopted in the sitting of the Stb inst. with divers modifications by a majority of three against fifteen. This determina tio❑ had scarcely been formed when the bitting was inter rupted by an alarming communication. All the villages of the district of Brays were, it is said, in open insurrection for the purpose of claiming by force the abolition of tithes and feudal obligations, the redemption of which had been regulated by article 13, of the Chapter agreed to. In the Arrondissements of Estarayar and Sur Merre, the greatest effervescence prevails. The inhabitants of these districts wish for the entire abolition of all feudal imposts." The last accounts from Lucerne state, that the popula tion •f the districts of Kusnach, Prepfison, La Manche, and Einsidlin, in the canton of Schwitz, assembled to the number of 4,000 men on the Sth instant, though enve loped in whirlwinds of snow. After a few hours' delibe ration, they decided to claim for the ancient country of Schwitz a Constitution which should insure an equality of rights to every citizen of the Canton. If these demands should be refused, measures were to be taken to establish an independent Government Extract of a letter from 'Warsaw, dated the 6th inst. : The manifesto voted on the 22d of December last was drawn up by a Committee chosen to that effect, and ap proved on the 4th instant by a deputation of the Diet, by a majority of 14 votes to 1. It is an interesting docu ment, and does not positively denounce the Russian dynasty, but insists upon the re-union to Poland of the provinces separated by Russia. The Dictator has not signed it, as he reserves to himself the right of making his own declaration." Extract of a letter from Berlin, dated Jan. 1 :—The proclamation from St. Petersburgh of the 19th ult. has rendered the Poles more zealously ardent to take up arms. Extract of a letter from Leghorn, dated Jan. 6 :—We learn from Constantinople that on the 17th December the intelligence of the Polish revolution reached Pera, and produced a powerful sensation. The Grand Seignor, on being informed of it by the Reis Effendi, expressed great joy. It is asserted at Pera that the Divan will take ad vantage of this commotion to ask for a fresh delay for the payment of the remainder of the indemnity,— In the Asiatic provinces levies of troops are already making, and there is every reason to believe that the Porte will not remain long inactive. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning:— SWITZERLAND, JAN. 7.—According to accounts re ceived from Vienna, for M. Effinges, it has been an nounced to the Diet that the news spread by several Jour nals, that his Majesty the Emperor of Austria had ex- pressed his disapprobation of what was passing in Switzer land, is wholly destitute of foundation. It was said that the Russian Charge d'Affaires had expressed himself to the same effect. We now learn, positively, that the Court of Russia has merely addressed to its diplomatic agents abroad, explanations relative to the assembling of its troops in Lithuania. D REsDEN , lax. s,—The Bishop of Pellin, Apostolical Vicar in the kingdom of Saxony, has addressed to the Catholics of that country a pastoral letter, concerning the suppression of same holidays. The Bishop announces that Pius VIII., a little before his death, had made an agreement on this subject with the King of Saxony. The holidays retained, besides the Sundays, are fourteen in number, viz., the Nativity, the Circumcision, the Epiphany, the Ascension, Corpus Christi, Easter Mon day, Whitsun Monday, the Annunciation, the Aasump tiou, the Nativity of the Virgin, the Conception, St. Peter and St. Paul, St. Stephen, and All Saints. The other holidays, suck as the Purification, the Vi sitation, St. Michael's, St. John the Baptist, &c. are no more to be kept on work days, and if they do not fall on a Sunday, will be observed the Sunday following. The fast days preceding them to be kept on the Friday preceding, The Prussian troops transferred from the Grand Duchy of Posen to our frontiers behave very well, and live on the best terms with their old brethren in arms. The last ordinance relative to the Commercial Guards shews the desire of the Government to strengthen that force, that it may be able more speedily and effectually to sup press at the outset any troubles that might still take place. This precaution is the more laudable as there are still traces of discontent, which was probably excited before by the abuse which some functionaries made of their autho rity, and the disregard which they have long shown to the wishes of the people. Nevertheless every body looks for ward with confidence to the new Constitution, which, ac cording to the official notice given by the Government, will be modelled on that of the Grand Duchy of Baden. WESEL, JAN. 2.—Our Government is at this moment making military preparations which prove its wise policy : the military armaments are nowhere carried on with more zeal than here, where the magnanimous intentions of the King are daily appreciated. Our fortress presents the same appearance as in time of war ; the town is full of troops, which are continually exercised, and the engineers are busily engaged in strengthening the fortifications. FRANKFORT, JAN. I4.—Exchange on London, two months, 149.'2. WARSAW, JAN. 5.—A W arsaw J ourna l of the 4 th, gives a detailed account f rom the o ffi c i a l re ports of the Deputies of Lublin, who were sent to provide for the supply of the Russian troops uncle- Prince Constantine as they passed through their province. The following is their account of the interview with his Imperial Highness : " The Grand Duke received them graciously, expressed his satisfaction with the reception he had met with in the province of Lublin, assured them of his friendly sentiments for the Polish nation,, and lamenting his expulsion from Warsaw, added that this event had come upon him quite unexpectedly, notwithstanding the numerous reports and warnings he had received, especially of those of the Em peror, his brother, who conjured hint by his paternal affec tion and by the memory of their mother, to be more on his guard. He spoke of the melancholy situation of the army, and especially that of the soldiers' wives and children, which is indeed deserving of pity. The Deputies replied, that the idea of a criminal attack on his person had been far from the mind of every Pole ; that the events that had taken place were to be considered as the consequence of the violation of the Constitution given to them ; and that it was easier to bear imprisonment than the loss of liberty once obtained. The Cesarewitsch agreed to this, and added :—" When my brother Alexander proposed to pub lish the additional articles to the Constitution, and sent for me and Novoslitsoff to hear our opinions on this sub- ject I objected, as I knew the character of the Poles to the proposed plan, saying—' I am a Deputy to the Diet, and therefore cannot propose this measure.'" As the conversation took this turn, the Deputies thought it advisable to lay their petitions before the Grand Duke, begging that he would now not refuse his assistance to the nation in its just cause ; that the recon ciliation of the nation with the Monarch would furnish the brightest page in the history of his life ; that the Poles asked only the security of their rights ; that they would defend these rights with the last drop of their blood, and that the Russian army would not return to Poland except over the dead bodies of slaughtered Poles. The Grand Duke was surprised at the fixed resolve of the na tion, which he seemed to hear for the first time from the mouth of the Deputies. Nevertheless, he listened readily to these words, and said he would represent the matter to his Imperial Majesty in the best light, but would not an swer for the result ; that after he had led his army back and presented himself to the Emperor, he would lay aside the uniform which he had worn for 26 years, and that no Russia❑ would fight under his command against the Poles. He ended by saying, " Farewell, Gentlemen, who knows whether we shall ever see each other again ?" The Deputies also affirm that the Russian Generals, with whom they had occasion to speak, did not at all won der at what had passed : they lamented their own situa tion, but did not reproach the Polish nation on that ac count.

There being no arrivals this morning of consequence, with the exception of the express from Paris, which is of minor importance, consequently we have little to commu nicate at present. The French Papers, by the mail this morning, state that General Mina, on his return to Bordeaux, gave a dinner to his companions in arms, and stated to them that in a short time he would again re-enter Spain, and hoped be would continue there. Orders were received from the French Minister at War in the Department of l'lsere, to know how many troops they could provide cantonments for. It is supposed that a corps of observation is going to be established on the frontiers of Italy; they assured the Minister that in the above department, and in the arrondissement, they could receive about 40,000 men. The accounts from Paris state that 500 men, Portu guese, hare arrived at Terceira from Brazil, and they are to be joined by four or fire thousand men which are going to Portugal. The Liverpool paper received this morning, in a second edition of the arrest of O'Connell, states that business was partially suspended at Dublin, and some of the streets rendered impassable, being blocked up with carriages and dense masses of individuals, all eagerly inquiring the cans* of O'Connell's arrest. The Marquis of Anglesea and Sir William De Bathe were riding out in the city on horse back. THE FUNDS.

We have received the French Paper, Le Temps, of Wednesday, from which we extract the following:— ABDICATION of the GOVERNMENT of BERNE. BERNE, JAN. 12.—T0-day our Government has abdi cated, but they will remain provisiondy until the new election takes place, and the propositions submitted to the people. This patriotic act has satisfied the town and the country. DEFENCE OF BAsi.E.—They write from Basle, of the 15th of January.--.‘ , We have been for fifteen days in a critical position, under arms day and night; business has been at a stand for several days. We act on the offensive, and make daily sorties against the rebels; one was made this day, with eight pieces of cannon, and we soon expect a happy result of this drams." They write from Mulhausen of the 16th, that several Communes have sent in their submission, and M. Berno nilly (the notary), who was made prisoner by the insur gents, has returned to Basle with a white flag, bearing pacific overtures. News has been received at Paris that Berne has changed its Constitution. M. Goristiza, Mexican Minister, has arrived at Paris to conclude a treaty with France. We hear from good authority that the Dutch Govern ment and that of Belgium have both agreed to the Protocol of London, and that all their differences may be expected to he adjusted in a few days. In regard to Russia and Po land, the well•informed are of a decided opinion that the affairs will be adjusted, and *hat Russia will give the Poles the Treaty of Vienna. The Consol Market continues firtn at 81i for the ac count, and 8l ti to 4- for money. We do not hear of any further accounts in the city from Ireland. There are various opinions on the steps taken by the Marquis of Anglesea in arresting Mr. O'Connell. In the Foreign Market, Russian stock has improved : in other foreign securities little done.
