MANIFESTO OF THE POLISH NATION'. (Front Galignanis iksserrger.) " When a nation, formerly free and powerful, finds itself compelled by the excess of its ills to have recourse to the last of its rights—to the right of repelling oppres sion by force—it owes it to itself, aml to the rest of 'the world, to divulge the motives which have induced it to sustain lay arms the most holy of caner. The Chambers of the Diet have felt this necessity, and, following the spirit of the revolution of the 29th of November, and ac knowledging it to be national, they have resolved tat justify themselves in the eves of Europe. " The infamous machinations, the vile r;alkttnnies, the open violence, and the secret treachery, which accompa nied the three dismemberments of ancient Poland, are taut too well known ; history has already branded thee , " as a political crime. The deep and awful met ming which this violation spread throughout the tonntry has never been laid aside, hut has been relikgiously preserved even - until now ; the unspotted standard has never ce 'seal to wave at the head of our valiant army ; and, in all his mi litary migrations, the Pole, carrying front country to country his household Gods, has cried ova for vengeance for the outrages committed against them. Cherishing that noble illusion, which, like every other grand idea, has never failed iR the end to be realised, he believed that, whenever be fought for the cause of liberty, he was fig-ht._ ing fur his own country. This country at length t'e-esta blished her existence ; anal although restraint 4. within nar row limits, Poland received from the Great Warrior of the age her native language, her rights, and liberties —pre cious gifts again augmented by the greatest of hopes. From that moment his cause became ours—our blood became his right ; anal when his Allies and Heaven itself abandoned him, the Poles, preserving their fidelity, participated in the disasters of the hero, anal the common fall of the Great Man and an unfortunate nation drew involuntary sears from the Conqueror himself. " This sentiment had produced too strong an impres sion. The Sovereigns of Europe, in the midst of the combat, had promised with too much solemnity to give durable peace to the world ; to admit that the Congre,s of Vienna, upon their again dividing our country amongst them as spoil, should not in some degree soften the fresh outrages committed against the Poles. A nationality and a reciprocal freedom of commerce was guar..nteed to every p rt of ancient Poland ; and that which the great European conflict had found independent, parcelled out ( f three sides, received the title of kingdom, and was pl iced under the immediate dominion of the Emperor Alexander, with a separate Ckarter, and the power of being enlarged. " In execution of these stipulations, he granted a free Constitution to the kingdom, and gave to the Poles, sub ject to the domination of Russia, a gleam of hope that they might shortly be united to their brethren. The gifts, however, were not gratuitous ; he had previously contracted obligations towards us, and we, on our part, had made sacrifices in return. Before and during the de cisive struggle, the brilliant promises made to the Pelea who were subject to the sceptre of Alexander, and the suspicions raised with respect to the intentions of Napo leon, prevented more than one Pole feem declaring i❑ his favour. The Emperor of Russia was only faithful to his pro:nises in proclaiming himself King of Poland, but as to that n itionality—those liberties which were to become the guarantees of the peace of Europe, we were forced to purchase them at the price of our independence, that first condition of the political existence of nations, as ifs durable peace could be established upon the enslavement of 16,000,000 of people—as if the annals of the world had not taught us that, even after an interval of ages, nations reduced to foreign subjection did not always recover that independence which had been destined for them by the Creator from the beginning of time, and having separated them from other nations in language and customs—as if this lesson was forgotten by Governments, that people op pressed ever become the natural allies of whoever may happen to rise up against their oppressors. " But these conditions, though arbitrarily imposed, were not fulfilled : the Poles were not long before they became convinced that the nationality and the title of kingdom, given to Poland by the Emperor of Russia were but a lure to their brethren, subject to other States—but a weapon against those same Sta'es—and but a mere chimera to those to whom they had been guiranteed. They became convinced that, under the shelter of these sacred names, it was intended to reduce them to a servile degradation, and weigh them down by all the inflictions of a continued des potism, and the loss of the dignity appertaining to man. The measures taken against the army first drew aside the veil that covered this mysterious plan. The most cruel outrages—the most infamous punishments—the most re fined persecutions ordered by the Commander- in- Chief, under the pretence of maintaining discipline, hut the real object of which was to destroy that feeling of honour, that national dignity, which characterized our troop-, we,e in vented and enforced. Faults the most trifling were deemed and treated as most serious offences—the slightest supicion converted into proofs of breach of discipline—and the Commander-in-Chief, by his arbitrary eontroul over the Court-martial, rendered in fact the sole arbiter of the life and honour of each individual soldier. The nation be held with indignation the decrees of these Courts repeatedly quashed, until at length their decisions attained the de gree of severity that was required from them. Many members, in consequence, sent in their resigna ion ; many, personally insulted by the Commander-in-Chief, purified by their own blood the outrages that had been committed upon them, and, at the same time, showed that it was not the want of true courage, but the fear of compromising the future state of their country, that with held their arms from falling a vengeance upon their op pressors. " On the meeting of the first Diet of the kingdom, a renewal of the solemn promises that the blessings of a Constitution should be extended to our brethren, who were to he re-united to us, revived extinguished hopes, and caused the moderation to reign in the Chambers which was their only end and object. The freedom of the Press, and the publicity of the proceedings of the Diet, were only tolerated in so far as they gave vent to the hymns and praises of a subjugated people in honour of their all powerful conqueror ; but when, after that Diet was closed, the public journals continued to discuss public affairs, a severe censorship was introduced ; and on the meeting of the following D'et, which proposed to itself the same object as the former, the representatives of the people were persecuted for the opinions they delivered in the Chambers. The Constitutional States of Europe will be astonished when they learn what has been so carefully concealed front them ; when, on the one hand, they be hold the wise and moderate use the Poles have made of their liberty, the veneration they have shown for their Sovereign, his religion and customs uniformly treated with respect, and on the other, the bad faith with which power has been used, not content with despoiling an un happy people of their rights, but imputing the horror of these violations to the unbridled exercise of their freedom. " The placing in union upon one head the Crowns of an Autocrat and of a Constitutional King was one of those political monstrosities which are never of long du ration. Every man foresaw that the kingdom of Poland must become either the nursery of liberal institutions fur Russia, or sink under the iron hand of its despoesin. This question was soon resolved. It appears that, at one moment the Emperor Alexander conceived he might con solidate his arbitrary power with our liberal laws, and thereby secure for himself a new influence over the affairs of Europe. But he was soon convinced that liberty could never become so debased as to be the blind instrument of despotism ; and from that time, instead of her defender, became her persecutor. Russia lost all hope of ever see ing the yoke by which she was oppressed taken off by the hand of her Sovereign, and Poland saw herself successively deprived of all her privileges. No time was lost in car rying this design into execution. Public education was corrupted, A system of concealment and mystery was adopted, the people were left without means of instruc tion, a whole Palatinate was deprived of its representation, and the Chambers no longer allowed the faculty of voting th e supplies. New burdens were imposed, new monopo lies created to dry up the sources of national wealth ; and the treasury, enriched by these measures, became the pas ture of safari d sycophants, infamous hireling instigators, and vile and despicable spies. Instead of the economy so repeatedly called for, pensions were augmented in a most scandalous degree, to which were added enormous gratui ties, and offices created solely with the view of augment ing the number of the Government satraps. " Calumny and espionage were carried into the secret circles of private families, and, the freedo m of private life infected with the poison, the ancient hospitality of the Poles became a snare for their innocence. Individual liberty, which had been solemnly guaranteed, was violated, and the prisons of the State became crowded ; council s of war were authorised to pronounce judgment in civil cases ; and citizens, whose only fault was a wish to save the spirit arid character of the nation from corruption, were sub jected to infamous punishments. It was in vain that some of the authorities of the kingdom, and the represen tatives of the people, laid before the King a faithful pic ture of the abuses coonni tted in his name, for not only were the abuses suffered to remain unsuppresssed, but the responsibility of the Ministers and the Administrative au thorities was paralysed by the immediate interference of the brother of the Emperor, and by the exercise of that discretionary power with which he was invested. This, monstrous authority, 'the source of the greatest a'bus'es, and which Might wound the personal dignity of eVery indivi dual, had become so infatuated, that It even 'dared to call before it citiiens of every 'r to and centlitiOn, merely to load them with inmate, and at times to subject them to digrace'ful tr‘blic 'tabours, reserved for 'the Vilest convicts; as if Proviifence, by perMitting ttem 'to carry their out rages against the people to the very utmost pitch, had des tined their inordinate abo , 2c nf authority to be the exciting cause of our inptrrettion. " Af..er no many affronts, after so manifest '7:oiittiOn ,of ttse guarantee sworn—a violatiMl w!..ilch no legitimate Government in any civili , ed ' . .:;Cidntry would have allowed itself with impurrirn and which, a fortiori, may justify our insurrtsAion against an authority imposed by force— wlr., Will not consider that this authority has broken off all alliance with the ndiion, that it hos upptssed it ‘)eii , :atli the yoke of slavery, that it ims giVn khe 'ri . Olt at every instant to burst its fellers attd forge Ihe'lik into arms ? " The picikire of the iiiSksters of our brethren may be superfluous, 'bet teat'il forbids us to pass it over. The provintes formerly incorporated with RUs-ia have not heen reunited to the kingdom. Our beethren ;rave not been , idinitted to the enjoyment Of al's: liberal institutions stipu lated by the Congt , ,:o m Vienna ; on the contrary, the national recolh.?•A':ons awakened in them, first by promises, and encs%ragement, and then by a long expectation, be came a crime against the State, and the Kiug of Poland caused to be prosecuted, in the ancient provinces of that State, such Poles os bad dared to call themselves Poles. The youth or: the schools were particularly the ob jects of trrs,&ution : young children were torn from their ire,.ther's breast; the issue of the first fir! , ailies were trans ported to Siberia, or were f , ,rceti to enter into the ranks of a corrupt soldiery. In official documents and judicial examinations the Polish language was suppressed ; the Polish !:ribiinals and civil law were annihilated by Ukases, alAlses of administration reduced the landed proprietors to misery, and since the acc-ssion of N:eholas to the throne, the state of things had constantly been growing worse. Religious in , elrarica itself employed every means to cch solidate the united Greek ritual upon the ttlihs of the Ca tholic ritual. " In the kingdom, ttt:mugh none of the liberties gua ranteed by th-st 'Constitution were observed, these liberties, suppretztA de facto, nevertheless continued to exist de 147 e. It was precisely this existence de _lure that it was necessary to undermine. We then saw that additional article to the Constitutien s.ppear, which, setting forth a specious solicitude for• the maintenance of the Charter, de stroyed one of its principal provisions by depriving the Chambers of the publicity of their proceedings and the ' support of public opinion, and which, above all, was to consecrate the prirriple that it was allowed to cut up at will the fiet.lamental compact, and thereby entirely aludith the Charter, as one of its articles had been abolished. it was under these auspices that the Diet of 1825 was convoked, from which it was sought, by all manner of means to discard the most intrepid defenders of our li berties i a Nuncio, who had just taken part in the delibe rations, was carried off by main force, surrounded by gen darmes, and held captive for five years, till the moment when the revolution broke out. Deprived of its force, shut up, threatened with the loss of the Charter, and mistzd by fresh promises of the ancient provinces being reunited to the kingdom, the Diet of 1825 followed the example of that of ISIS ; but these promises remained without effect, and the petitions which prayed for the re storation of our liberties were rejected. " The general indignation of the well-disposed inh•ibi tants, and the exasperation of the whole nation, had long been bringing on the storm, the approach of which began to appear, when the death of Alexander, the accession of Nicholas to the throne, and the oath he took to maintain the Constitution, seemed to promise us a cessation of abuses and the return of our liberties. This hope soon vanished, for not only did things continue as they were, but the revolution at St. Petersburgh even served as a pretext to imprison and bring to trial the most distinguished individuals of the Senate, the Chamber of Nuncios, the army, and the citizens. In a short time the prisons of the capital were filled. Every day fresh buildings were appropriated to receive thousands of victims, sent to War saw from every part of Old Poland, and even from parts subject to foreign Governments. Upon the native soil of liberty were introduced tortures which came(' humanity to shudder. Death and suicide constantly diminished the number of the unfortunate victims, who were sometimes left forgotten in small and damp dungeons. In contempt of every law, a special Committee of Inquiry was insti tuted, composed of Russians and Poles, most of them military men, a ho, by protracted tortures, by promises of pardon and insidious questions, only sought to extort from the accused the confession of an imaginary crime. It was only after an imprisonment of one year and a hall that the high National Court was established, for, as in spite of every law, imprisonments had been criminally prolonged to a degree that several victims had died in prison, it became absolutely necessary to render this measure legal. The conscience of the Senate disappointed his expectation, and the accused, who had been groaning in prison for two years, were acquitted of any crime against the State. This decision, from that period, removed all distinction between the accused and their Judges. The former, notwithstanding the sentence which proclaimed their innocence, instead of being set at liberty, were conveyed to St. Petersburgh, where they were imprisoned in forts, and up to this moment several have not been restored to their families. The latter were ' detained for nearly a year at Warsaw, for having shown themselves independent Judges. The publication and exe cution of the sentence was stopped. It was submitted to the examination of the administrative authorities, and when, at length, out of some regard for Europe, it was found necessary to publish it, a Minister carried his auda city so far as to degrade the national Majesty, by repri manding, in the name of the Sovereign, the highest Magi stracy of the State, in the exercise of their most exalted functions. " It was after such acts that the Emperor Nicholas re solved to be crowned King of Poland. The representatives of the nation being summoned, were silent witnesses of this ceremony, and the new oaths were soon violated again, for no abuse was suppressed, not even the discretionary power. Even on the day of the Coronation the Senate was filled with new Members, who did not possess the qualifications required by the Constitution, the only gua calve of the independence of their votes. An illegal loan, and the alienation of national domains, were intended to render movable and disposable the immense landed pro perty of the State. But Providence directed that the large sums proceeding from the partial execution of this plan, should not be squandered away, but be used in arming the nation. " In short, the last consolation, which, under the reign of Alexander, enabled the Poles to support their misfor tunes—namely, tl.e hope of seeing themselves reunited to their brethren, was taken from them by the Emperor Nicholas. From that moment all ties were broken. The sacred tire which had long been prohibited from being kindled upon the altars of the country, was secretly burn ing in the hearts of all well-disposed men. One thought only was common to them—namely, that they should no longer endure such slavery. But the Government itself hastened the moment of its explosion. In consequence of repocts, daily corroborated, of a war against the liberty of the nations, orders were given to put upon the war establish ment the Polish army destined to march ; and, in its place, the Russian armies were to occupy the country. Con siderab'e sums, proceeding from the loan and the sale of the national domains, deposited at the bank, were to cover the expenses of this deadly war against liberty. Arrests again took place; every moment was precious. Our army —our treasure—our resources—our national honour— averse to rivet chains upon the necks of other nations, and to fight against liberty and our former companions in arms, were at stake. Every one shared this feeling; but the heart of the nation—the focus of enthusiasm, the youth of the army and of the colleges, as well as a great part of the garrison of Warsaw, and of the citizens impressed with this sentiment, resolved to give the signal for the in surrection. An electric spark in a moment inflamed the army, the capital, and the whole country. The night of November 29 was illuminated by the tire el lil;erty. In one day the capital was delivered ; in a few days all the divisions of the army Were united by the same sentiment, the fortresses occupied , the natives armed, the brother of the Emperor, with the Russian troops, relying u p on t h e generosity of the Poles, and owing his safety to this step alone. Such were the acts of this heroic, noble revolu tion—which is as pure as the enthusiasm of the you'll whose offspring it is. " The Polish nation have risen from their abasement and degradation, with the firm resolution no longer to bend beneath the iron yoke, which has just been broken, and not to lay down the arms of their ancestors, until they have regained their independence and power, the only guarantee of their liberties ; until after having secured the enjoy went of these liberties, which they claim upon a twofold right—namely, as the honourable heritage of their forefatb ers , an d as t h e urgent want o f t h e age ; an d , fi na ll y, until after being reunited to their brethren, subject to the yoke of t them, Cabinet e l m,theyeha o ll f St. ha Pte yet e na r d sbu eth rg e h m , de liveredsahnadrehrsavoifngtheirwb by a h n a y v e n a a t i e o o n m a n a t e r e r d i g i a n g a ; i n o s n t t the R e o u h s s t i ri n r liberties and i n d epen d ence. We have not been influenced w at ith th N e vh fi o r i e n t moment we felt pleasure, up on th e l oss of our indepen , denee, in thinking that, although our reunion under the same sceptre was injurious to our intertits,-Yet it might cause a population of forty ,'mil !ions to pArtake of the en joyment of 'constitutional liberties, which in the whole civilised world, had become equally necessary both to na tions and sovereigns. " Convinced that our liberty and independence, far from having been hostile to the neighbouring States, have, on the contrary, served, at all times, as an equilibrium and shield to Europe, And may now become more useful than evr'f, we appear in the presence of Sovereigns and nations, with the assurance that the voice of policy and humaNity will be equally heard in our favour. " If even, in this struggle, the dantr.erg of tt;1111-..11 wt do not conceal front ourselves, ',Vette to light alone fur the interest r.f all, f\,!l l . of conildence in the sanctity of our cat!.se, in our own valour, and in the assistance of the ALikiIGIITY, we will ti g h t till our l as t gasp for liberty; and if PROVIDENCr have destined this land to perpetual slavery ; it in this last struggle, the fitedom of Poland is to fall heneath the ruins of its towns and the bodies of its def , ntitna, our enemy shall only reign over deserts, and every good Pole, when dying, will carry with him the consolation, that if Heaven has not permitted him to save his own liberty and his own country, he has at least, by this deadly combat ) placed the liberties of threatened Europe under shelter for a moment." t !fere follow the signAttres of the persons who drew up the Manifesto, the ComMitted of the Diet appointed to give their opinions upon it, the Marshal of the Diet, and the Secretary of the Chamber of Nuncios.] The following telegraphic despatch, addressed by the Prefect of the Department of the Phone, to the 'Minister of the Interior, was received yesterday : " Lyons, Jan. 20. " 'Yesterday, ahouf half-past eleven o'clock, GOO or 800 workmen assembled at Les Brotteaux, with the intention of proteeding upon the town to demand employment, and in 'ease of refusal, committing acts of violence upon the manufacturers and bankers, or upon the convents. Hav • in b..en informed thereof, xe took measures in conse quence. Several orators were arrested, and placed in the bands of the judicial authorities. These mobs were dim perscd at five o'clock in the evening, and perfect tranquil lity has since prevailed. The National Guards conducted themselves in a praiseworthy manner, as did the pubic functionaries, and especially M. Terme, Mayor ad interim, who displayed great firmness and presence of mind." During the sitting of the Tribunal de Pi emiere Instance, on Wednesday, one of the parties in the cause before the Court, M. Grenier, a colonist of St. Domingo, expe rienced an attack of apoplexy, and died in the arms of the persons who carried him out of the hall. The following account of the revelations of a priest, and the arrest of an emissary of conspirators is given by a let ter of the Ittli instant from Perpignan :—" The day be fore yesterday, at three o'clock in the morning, at the moment when the diligence for Spain was on the point of setting out, the gendarmerie arrived at the inn and arrested one of the travellers. The following are the details I have been able to procure relative to this occur rence :—On the 10th, a priest presented himself at the Prefecture, and stating that he had important communi cations to make, was immediately admitted to an audience of the Prefect. He then related that an individual had been recommended to him, who had revealed to him the plans of a conspiracy in which he was engaged. He stated that the chief seat of the conspirators was at Lyons, and they had formed themselves upon the system of the Car bonari—th ,t the associates amounted to between 15 and 20,000, and their object was to overthrow the present Government and replace Charles the Tenth or raise Henry the Fifth to the throne. The person who came to him was one of the emissaries of the Association. He was travelling through the South, furnished with letters to the Bishops, from whom he even received recommendations ; the Bishop of Nismes was the only prelate who as yet had repulsed him. The conspirators intended to embark for Genoa, and thence to proceed to Spain, there to farm them selves into a legion, and return into France, bringing with them civil war. They were not, however, as yet assured of the disposition of the Governors of Figueras, or of the General commanding in Catalonia, and the per son [maw at Perpignan was on his way into Spain, in order to ascertain it. He was to come back into France after having conferred with the Count d'Espagne, and the Governor of Figueras, in order to direct the conspi rators into Catalonia. He had with him a golden cross surmounted by a silver crown. The Prefect, after having received this confidential information, immediately wrote to Paris. On the Ilth, he learnt that the secret emissary had obtained his passport, and was to set out the next day. He called a Council, acquainted them with what he hid been told, and demanded their advice whether he should proceed to arrest the traveller. The greater nuna her were for suffering him to go on into Spain, and watch for hint on his return. But the Prefect had written to the Minister, and was fearful of compromising himself if the arrest was not immediately made. This consideration prevailed, and at nine o'clock at night the arrest was de cided upon. The priest was sent for, and the Magistrate received his deposition, which it is said was very circum stantial. At one in the morning the warm ant for the arrest was issued. When the gendarmerie proceeded to seize the person of the accused, whose name is Cyprien Die marts, or Des Issarts, he made great complaints that the liberty of the subject was violated in his person. On being taken to prison he displayed the most perfect calmness. No thing was found upon him that confirmed the accusation. He conversed cheerfully with M. Boinen, the examining Magistrate previous to the commencement of the interro gation. The questions were at first general, and Des Issarts, persuaded that he had been detained upon bare suspicion, answered with the greatest assurance, but as they became more direct he turned pale, and replied only by monosyllables. He was asked if he had not a gold cross surmounted by a silver crown ? This he distinctly denied ; nevertheless, such a cross was found among his baggage. After the conclusion of his examination, war rants of his arrest were issued against several persons at Montpellier and Lyons. Yesterday a search was made in the house of M. Duvivier, known for his attachment to the Ex-Royal Family, and who, it appears, had been visited by Des Issarts. No discovery was made, nor were the certificates of the Bishops found upon the prisoner; but, it is said that, having become aware that persons were prowling about the hotel in which he was lodging, he had taken tlie precaution to burn them. In the even ing before his arrest, Des Issarts inquired of an artillery man of the National Guards who was on duty, the num ber of men who were in the National Guard, their ge neral opinions, and the spirit of the people that lived upon the frontiers. Theme is every reason to believe that he was but little satisfied with the answers he received." The National, of Saturday last, contains an angry re ference to the proceedings of the Ministry, which we sub join ; the only fact which is entitled to the notice of a British reader is, however, that which confirms the ac counts we had previously received of the energetic prepa rations for war now making by France:— " PARIS. " In all that is now doing, there is but one thing that is really serious—the preparations making with so much activity, ardour, and skill, by Marshal Soult. The last three mouths have been occupied by the rest of the Mi nistry in discussing, with more or less anger, questions which war alone could solve. Of all who have stood up to France, that they had the most positive assurances of the continuance of peace, not one of them believed a single word of what they themselves said, while a Ministry, in which there were men of undoubted talent was completely paralysed by its forebodings of war, which it could not avow. This is no time to faire des affaires, or to be de ciding questions of Government. That is the reason why every attempt to administer or frame laws hitherto has been pitiful and finally failed. Skilful men were the first to laugh at what they were doing ;:and the ambitious have excited the ridicule of others. The preparations for war are, therefore, the only serious and positive object. This is so true that the labours of Marshal Soult have escaped every party discussion, being considered as a thing of incontestable importance, and the only object tending to a useful and certain result. At no time has it been in the power of any Government to stop the progress of events. The necessary work will al ways be done by some one and in spite of every intrigue Thus have our foreign relations been carried on in direct opposition with events, and France is indignant at it ; but the real direction was followed by the Minister of War, who has taken the only clear, easy, and patriotic course.. It would hav e b een d es i ra bl e th at th e genera l con duct of Government, i ns t ea d o f b e i ng a sort o f pro t es t against the warlike tendency of events, should have been with more reference to that great necessity. Many dif ferences of opinion that now exist, and are unruly and in convenient, would not have burst forth, and those who cry War to the counter-revolution ! War to the stifling prin ciples of 1814 would have united against the foreign and internal enemies the men who brought about the re volution of July." Pmt.'s, Jase. 22._Tke King presided yesterday at a Council of Ministers, which at from half-past eleven o'clock in the forenoon until half-past two in the afternoon. His Majesty subsequently had a private audience with MM. Rene de &mine and M. de Cello, the Belgian Envoy. Yesterday, whilst the Duke of Orleans was dining at the restaurateur Grignon's,:with the Colonel and Officers of ' regimeni, an individUal was arrested in the act of effacing the Pleura de ?'s from the arms painted on his carriage. (From the rational of Saturday.) WARSAW, JAN. 10.-Lieut.-Colonel Wylezinski, who had been sent to St. Petersburgh to announce that General Chlopieki had been confirmed in the Dictatorship, returned to Warsaw on the 7th of January. The Diet was accord ingly convoked for the 17th, in order to devise the means necessary to he taken to complete the system of na tional defence. M. NYylzinski was the bearer of the Em peror's manifesto. He states that the Emperor received hi i the plistri of enfals Dicitsch ahenen. dor m ff; n and that his Majest n y's e tone was h not so severe as k that of his manifesto. Nicholas did hot deny that his brother had acted wrong, atol Was the principal cause of the in surrection ; and added, he loved the Pales; that he looked upon them as misletl children ; and that he would acquaint them with his determination through Count Fezierski, one of the Deputies, who is about to return to Warsaw. M. Wylezinski, having been recognised merely as the bearer of a flag of truce, was not allowed to see the Polish De puties, although told that they were in St. Petersburgh. EttnisTaor, JAN. 14.—The night before last her Royal Highness the Duchess of Letichtenber; received it courier from Brussels, and immediately sent off an estafette with despatches far her son, the Duke Auguste, who was then at Anspach. He arrived himself the next day, at three o'clock, and it was generally reported through the town that he had been proclaimed King of the Ne therlands. The information obtained to-day from the Palace states that the courier merely came to know would the Duke accept the Crown if it were offered to him by the malirity of the Congress ? The young Prince is said to have replied that he was much affected by a proposition so honourable for him ; that he had neither sought nor expected it ; but that if the Belgians were unanimous in tendering him the Crown, he would accept it with the consent of his mother. The Belgian courier was sent back the same evening. The Duke of Leuchtenbcrg is to retool n on Sunday to join his regiment at Anspach. The son of Prince Lieven arrived yesterday from Lon don, with despatches for Count Pozze di Borgo. A letter frona Nantes announces that 2,000 English muskets have been seized by the National Guard of the vicinity, in the chateaux of several Vendean Chiefs. (From the Currier Francais of Saturday.) WARSAW. Since the Dictator returned from Modlin, he published an order of the (lay, in which he speaks in the highest terms of the officers Who conduct the works of that place, and which he found in a more advanced state than could be expected. By another order of the day, the former Commander of the Cadets at Kali.ch, the General of Bri gade, Ignace Mycielski, is appointed Commandant of the fortress of Modlin, and the Lieutenant-Colonel Casimir Malachowski, second in command. It is reported that General Kniesicwi, z will have the command in chief of the National Guards of the kingdom. PARIS. The Anniversary Funeral Service of the 21st of Ja nuary was performed to-day in several churches of the capital. A Carlist conspiracy was lately discovered in Lyons. The chiefs have been arrested. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday.) BERLIN, JAN. 13.—1 t appears by letters received from St. Petersburgh, that the Emperor intends to ac company out of the capital, on the 13th, the entire of the Guard, which will march that day for Lithuania. His Majesty will then afterwards leave town for \Vilna, where he is expected to arrive on the 17th. An army of 130,000 men will extend from that town to the frontiers of Poland, but it is generally supposed that the Emperor will wait for the arrival of the 60,000 men of his Guards before he shall enter the country. The frontiers of Prussia have hitherto been respected ; but this is not surprising, since they are lined with 80,000 men. VIENNA, JAN. 10—Private letters mention that an Austrian corps, 50,000 strong, under the orders of Ge neral Statterheim, is now concentrating i❑ Gallicia, for the purpose of protecting the frontiers of that province next to Poland. All the officers belonging to the regi ments of that corps who were on leave of abEence have received orders to join immediately.

PARIS, JA N. 21.—Several persons have directed funeral masses to be solemnized this day, i■ commemora tion of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette. One of the masses will be said at the church of St. Roche, at half past eleven precisely. The Quotidienne will not be published to-morrow, in consequence of the anniversay 64 the 21st of January. The number of the Quotidienne from which the above extracts are taken appeared with a broad mourning edge, in honour of the anniversary alluded to. (Front the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.) PARIS, JAN. 21. TRIBUNAL OF CORRECTIONAL POLICK—Syr- TING 01 JAN. 21.—M. PORTAL'S, President. An individual, who was charged with a robbery, said (in answer to the President) that he had no Counsel to defend him. The President directed M. Charles Ledru to act as Counsel for the accused. At the moment the first witness was called up, 11 Ledru addressed the Court, observing that, accord ing to the law of the 16th June, 1816, the 21st of Ja nuary was made a holyday, in commemoration of Louis the Sixteenth and Marie Antoinette, and he therefore submitted that the proceedings be adjourned to a future occasion. M. F. Barrot, Deputy Procureur dii Roi, said that the law which made the 21st of January a holiday was the work of the Restoration, and created by the necessities of a dynasty foreign to them. That law had disappeared with the dynasty which gave rise to it. Besides, it was directly contrary to the new Constitution, and, of course, had been entirely abrogated. The Court retired for an hour, to consult upon this application, and at the expiration of that interval decided, that the proceedings of the day should not he interrupted, as there was no law which forbade the tribunals from hearing cases upon certain days, and also as the Charter of 1530 abrogated all laws in force up to last August, and which were inconsistent with the intention of the social compact. This decision was received with warm marks of appro bation by the auditory and the Bar. The accused, whose case gave rise to this incident, was found guilty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Jax. 22. At two o'clock M. Casimir Perrier took the Chair. The Order of the Day being a report on petitions, M. Etienne read . a report on several which were rejected by the Chamber. Among the most interesting were those, Ist, of M. Reverdy, from St. Domingo, who called the attention of the _Chamber to the necessity of bringing M. Villele to trial for several acts of his administration ; Ed of M. Lambert, of Lyons, who presented observations in fa vour of the Ex-Ministers—(Laughter)-3d, of M. Gil bert Arnaud, praying the Chamber to order the prosecu tion of the officers who fired on the people, and the strik ing of their names from the roll of the army; 4th, of M. Bourbiel, of Forgoes, who proposed to establish, in the course of the present year, a beet-root sugar factory in each arrondissement, and one in each commune in 1832. The petitioner recommended, besides, the formation of a botanical goaden and menagerie in each town, for the in struction of the people. M. Etienne having observed that the Government, in order to obtain that desired object, should begin first by establishing primary schools, the Chamber rejected the petitions. M. Laurent Dubusle proposed that all the laws and acts of the Government should he published in each mu nicipality in France. This petition gave rise to a desultory discussion on a military almanark, which was lately ordered to be printed by the Minister of War. M. Marshal was of opinion that such a publication was useless, since the Bulletin des Lois, which was the official repository of all the acts of the Governments, contained those of a civil as well as of a military nature. General Lamarge vindicated Marshal Soult's motive for establishing that almanack, and added the example of Austria, England, and Prussia, where army lists were re gularly published. The petition was then rejected. The Chambers afterwards resumed the discussion on the first article of the intended law relative to the per sonal and moveable taxer BOURSE, HALF-PAST FOUR.-This has been another very dull day.

Two Months, 11. 80. 44, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1831. By the French Papers of Saturday, we have received the long-expected manifesto of the Po lish nation, in which, at some length, they at tempt a justification of what needs no justifica tion—the late insurrection at Warsaw. Ever since the death of NAPOLEON, says this spirited document, the Polish cause has been gradually becoming more and more desperate. During the struggles of the Allies against France, when the result was yet doubtful, the most flattering promises were made by Russia to Poland. These were repeated at the Congress at Vienna. The Poles were to have their own Constitution— the weight of taxation was to be proportioned to their means of defraying it—their system of civil and military education was in no respect to be interfered with—their language not to be discoun tenanced ;—in a word, they were to have all the privileges which a high-spirited nation has a just right to demand. The Treaty of Vi enna, it should seem, promised the Poles all this, if not more. Instead, however, of ful filling his pledges, ALEXANDER, after coquet ting in his usual fashion with the deluded Poles, after leading them to suppose one day that he would grant them a Charter, and flatly denying his promise the next, left them at last to utter de spair. Such was the state of public feeling throughout Poland—at least throughout that part of it which is attached to Russia— when tLe Emperor NICHOLAS ascended the throne of the Czars. He, too, for a time, fol lowed the treacherous policy of his predecessor, but finding that it ran an imminent chance of exposure, pursued, instead, a system of open bare-faced despotism, which has continued with unmitigated .severity up to the present day. Not only during this reign of terror, for CON STANTINE preferred the fear to the esteem or affection of the Poles, has every possible in dignity been heaped upon the injured Poles, but their very language was proscribed—the spirit of the military tribunals was distorted so as to suit the purposes of the despot—and under the most frivolous pretences in order to gratify the caprices of that bullying ruffian, CONSTAN TINE, husbands were torn from their wives, sons from their mothers' arms, and ba nished for life to Siberia. Against this into lerable despotism the Poles have now risen, and hard indeed must be that heart which will not sympathise with them in their approaching truggle for freedom. By the Dutch Papers, received this morning, we have the proceedings of the States-General on the 20th inst. The Dutch KING and his Ministers are very sore upon the opening of the Scheldt. The news from Warsaw, through the Prussian Papers, must he received with caution. The report of an attempt at a counter-revolution may be true, but it is not very probable, unless it has been got up by Russian agents THE HAGUE, JAN. !1. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES GENERAL. SITTING OP THE 20m JAN. After some preliminary proceedings the Minister for Foreign Affairs said,— The King commanded me to communicate to your High Mightinesses the history of the conferences of the Plenipotentiaries of the five Great Powers on the affairs of Belgium. ‘ Sixteen years ago, when the kingdom of the Nether lands was formed, it was lisped that the union of Belgium and Holland would be a source of happiness and prospe rity to both countries. And though there was a very marked difference in the manners and religion of the two people, a happy result might have been anticipated from the union. " For 13 years the hope that had been conceived war not disappointed, the constitutional institutions were daily more developed and extended. The two nations frater nised more and more, the prosperity of the two countries was increasing. The Government did not experience (hir ing that period any other resistance than what is insepa rable from a representative Government. " During the last two years and a half, however, the opposition became stronger. Posterity and history will have to decide on the means which it employed to obtain its object, and on that faction which, deceiving the na tion, has brought down upon it so many calamities. The troubles which have broken out in other kingdoms will also have their influence when the time shall come No de cide whether what has passed in Belgium is to be ascribed to faults committed by the Government or to an agitation which manifests itself in society in general, and the preference give❑ by the leaders of the faction to a civil war over a sepsration, the two parts of the kingdom legally pre pared in the States-General will mark the place which these events ought to hold in history. 6 , When his Majesty saw that neither mildness nor force had succeeded in restoring order among his revolted sub jects, he thought it his duty to apply to his allies to attain that object." His Excellency here entered into all the details of the relations with the Congress at London, read the protocol of the Plenipotentiaries of the five great Powers of 20th Decetnber, and his Majesty's protest against that protocol. " The King of the ?label lands has learned with pro found affliction the determination taken with regard to Bel gium by the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, France, Groat Britain, Russia, and Prussia, assembled in Congress at e rt te r d i oy nobility, us t o h a t it of sanctiona London, Dec. 20, 183 0 , and expressed in the protocol of that day communicated to b is Amb assador. hlald thethrones, been results j u d o gd which was not caused by any l eg i t i mate mot i v e e, a the " As a King, whose dut y it is to watch over the wel fare of a portion of the Euro p ean population, his Majesty has been much affecte d a t remarking, that events i n revolt and necessaryur4pheu hadthus ato. appearedtehne o danngiy so remedy, en serious social order of all States, the happiness, tramp prosperity of all nations. " Independently of the union between tl members of the European system, his Majesty rein of the kingdom of t:se Netherlands, tit vi.;latinn of his rights. " If the treaty of Paris of 1814 placed Belgic disposal the Allies, the latter, from the mt thy had determined the fate of the Belgium removed, according to the law of nation, tho d•!,troying their own work, and they were competent to dissolve the bond of union betweci and Belgium, under the sovereignty of the Orange Nassau.
