WARSAW, Ji:tiE: .h • of our acquaint ance will, I think,,. . the trouble I am about to impose 'on ypu, and will, I have no doubt, be a sufficient excuU; if not, I know how deeply you are imbued with the •principles of civil and re ligious libt-rty, and that you will not regard trouble to become the instrument of propagating, these bless ings to those parts of the world which have not hitherto enjoyed them. The cause of Poland is the most sacred that ever yet agitated any community. The changes which its independence would occasion in Europe are of vast importance, and the un exampled bravery of her sons entitles her to univer• sal admiration. All good men sympathize in her cause, and many contribute assistance. There is only one aim in view—the possession of independ ence; to this end life is staked, and property sur rendered ; every thing dear to men on earth is sa c,iticed to the country's welfare. Nothing short of this exertion could have enabled the country to withstand, for so long a period, the overwhelming power of their invaders; the great Autocrat expected, by force, to rivet a perpetual yoke around the necks of men made constitutionally free by his predecessors, and guaranteed by all the great Powers of Europe. The attempt has failed; a full moiety of the invading army is slain or made ' prisoner a ; they are beaten or repulsed in every at tack, and their situation in Poland is become cri tical. It will be observed that the recent manoeuvre of the Commander-in-Chief had two objects in view, viz., to prevent the advance of the enemy towards the Vistula, in the direction of Thorn, where they had supplies; and to cut off their com munications with Prussia, as well by the land frontier aq the Vistula. 2. To send efficacious succour to their Lithuanian brethren. rhe mode in which this manoeuvre was accomplished is already known. Ostrolenka and Lomza, places strongly fortified by the enemy, and considered of great weight in their operations, wire abandoned. The Imperial Guards, repelled and harassed by forced marches, even into Lithuania, being at length joined by the concentrated farce of the Field-Marshal Diebitsch, occasioned the battle of Ostrolenka and the retreat of the Polish Commander-in-Chief in Lithuania. This combat appears to have entirely demoralized the Russian army ; immediately after the battle, the Field-Marshal, by a forced march, made eighteen leagues in 21 hours, leaving some thousands of ma rauders in the rear. He had scarcely arrived near Ostrolenka, when the battle commenced, and continued sixteen hours without intermission. The Field-Marshal, after having sustained an immense loss, was com pelled to make a retrograde movement with the masses with which he intended to cross the Narew. In this state of things, with an army harassed, far removed from his magazines of ammunition, which was entirely exhausted, deprived of provisions, and every moment exposed to attack either by the Com rranaer-in-Chief or by the corps of General Giel gud, which might have returned on the other Bide of the Narew, and debauched near Lomza, the Field-Nlarshal found himself obliged to quit Ostro lenka. . . . . He commenced his retreat on the 28th, having previously burnt the bridge. The position of the Field-Marshal is more critical than ever ; the Guards drew their provisions ft con tie magazines of ()sac lenka and Lorrza, and were easily nourished by the provisions which came to them from Prussia, from the Palatinate of Augustow, the neighbourhood of nrodno, and winch, following the course of the Narew, were conveyed to them. They Nvill be no longer able to receive them by the same rout, because the corps of the army commanded by Generals Chrapowski, Gielgud, Dembinski, and Sierakowski, have cut off all communication with those districts. In consequence of the expedition of the Commander in -Chief, the magazines established by the Russians, in various points, have been either taken or de stroyed, and those of the grand army established at - Nnr, Ciechanowiec, at Branak, and at Bielsk, have experienced the same fate. Those who were in the battle of Ostrolenka assure u , that the enemy's artillery was at least six times more numerous than that of the Poles. The Field-Marshal brought the dower of his troops, but with those even suc ceeded in no attack. The Grenadiers of Prince Szackowskoi were completely destroyed. They were ordered to cross the bridge; and, to render their retreat impossible, the cannons were planted in their rear to fire on those who retreated. Several detach ments of cavalry and infantry, which endeavoured to pass the river, were completely exterminated by the Polish troops. Ostrolenka was burnt by the enemy; Russian bullets still reached the town after it was in their own occupa , ion. A regiment of Cossacks, who approached some of the second Lancers experienced what the brave can effect, as testitled by the destruction made among them. The enemy, not being able to repair the bridge, assembled the peaceful inhabitants by for ce, who were obliged to perform it under a tremendous lire of our artillery, by which a considerable number were killed. The conduct of General Lubienski, in extricating himself from a situation so perilous, is the theme of universal admiration. The corps commanded by him consisted of about 7,000 men, posted near Czyzew. The Field-Marshal crossed the Bug with his whole army, and succeeded in surrounding the corps of General Lubienski, The Russians considered they had already a fine draught, but their net was not strong enough to hold it—all the meshes were broken. The Russian General (Berg) was polite enough to send a flag of truce, to invite him to surrender the whole corps, all means of escape being closed. " Know," replied General Lubienski, " that all passages are open to Polish bayonets." The flag of truce had no sooner retired than an attack was ordered--a passage, effected with little loss, was made through the dense masses of the enemy, whose cannon were early taken, and the brave troops joined the main army amid acclamations of joy—the dis positions taken by General Lubienski—the extra ordinary courage of the soldiers, under circumstances so critical—constitute the main features of the pre sent war—every officer and every regiment—the new as well as the old levies—are capable of per forming similar prodigies. From the most recent news arrived here, it is - confirmed that the Field-Marshal has divided his army—one part is detached to Lithuania, and the other has repassed the Bug, on its return to the pro vince of Podlachia. The people of all nations sympathise with the brave Poles, although Governments are either hos tile or passive. The inhabitants of Hungary, moved by the true spirit of humanity, have sent to the hospitals of Warsaw 300 barrel, , of wine, a great quantity of prunes, some hundred pieces of cloth, and a quantity of Airs. These articles, of which the duty was paid by the senders, are already arriv e d in Cracow ; it is said the Government con sented to the sending'. The Prussian Chancellor of Magnue, has sent to the Commission of the to he .Province of 233 pounds of (sharpie) lint, conveyed to the hospitals of Warsaw. He wrote, at the same time, that this was provided by her Royal Highness Princess Rniziwill, wife of }'rinse Anthony itozm • •it r • , Lieutenant to the King of Prussia in the Grand Duchy of Posen, whose na me he was auth or i zed to (prisoners) employed i n the province veo:vi,"!r a The Russians Cracow,in the construction of roads, n e rations of bread, meat, and spirits, with a trifle lein money, nearly a penny, under the superintend enee o f t h e i r own officers. Four Turks from Asia Minor, made p o i soners b y the Russians at .'‘tuipa, forced to ent e r th e serv i ce, have been taken as prisoners in the pres ent war. The Government has set them free, clothed them in their national costume, and will send them in a few days to their native country. It is known that after the retreat of General Dwernicki from Volhynia, the Russians practised horrible cruelties. They ut, in and murdered the landed propnetoro; a certain pet son, of the name of Czarnoluskl, was first shut, and his ferilairls Alta wattle. exhibitea ; the wife and children of the landed pro. l prietor Krasicki have been murdered. The health of General Dwernicki has suffered considerably, in •onsequence of the conduct used towards him and hls army by the Austrians. According to accounts o f the Russian prisoners, six Generals Were carried from the field of battle, by OstrOlenka, wounded ; among whom were Generals Berg and Manderstern. Letters from the frontiers of Prussia state that Col. Sit rakowski has totally beaten the corps commanded by General Pricker), in the province of Augustow, and taken four pieces of cannon. Fricken himself, with 600 men, had fled for protection to Prussia. This news is, however, not confirmed yet. The National Government sent a deputation to the Commander-in-Chief, whose head-quarters are at present in Praga, congratulating him, in the most G.terin g terms, for the excellent manner in which he conducted the late operations of the army. To this effect an oration was made by the Senator Wodzinski. A highly interesting assembly met yesterday in the Kryginski Garden. It was a treat given by the National Guard to the soldiers and officers of the regular army—it consisted of about 60 men, from each of 23 regiments, now in the metropolis, and officers, making together upwards of 1,600 persons, and 300 officers. The dinner was well provided : every soldier was presented with a large glass of wine, and as much beer as he wished. Polish tro phies adorned the Garden, accompanied by music rum several regiments. Count Anto Ostrowski, Commander of the National Guard, presided on the occasion. It went off with great hilarity, and se veral toasts were drank with enthusiasm. Is', The General, in the name of the National Guards, gave " The brave Soldiers of Poland ;" 2d, "The health of the Commander-in-Chief;" 3d, " The National Goveinment of Poland ;" 4th, " The' Soldiers ;" lastly, " The health of the National Guards," &c. Polonaises were danced, of which the first was led off by the General Count Ostrowski, who, during the repast, delivered an eloquent oration. PARIS, APRIL 21, 1831. TO SENATOR COUNT OSTROWSKI, GENERAL of the NATIONAL GUARDS. GENERAL,—WhiIe my whole views are directed to the noble dangers and sublime revolutions of the admirable nation which the world contemplates with a respectful enthusiasm, judge with what happiness and honour I am tilled in learning, thanks to your goodness, that she has deigned to admit me in her ranks, and to confer on me the glorious title of Po lish National Guard. Since the day in which your honourable promotion and the authorisation of the Supreme Government gave me this precious right, I feel impressed with obligation, dear to my heart, which this adoption imposes on me. With a lively impatience I waited an occasion to convey to you the expression of my profound ac knowledgment, of my devotion to your heroic country, to my comrades of the National Guard, and to their worthy chief, whom I entreat to com municate to them my tender and fraternal senti ments, which it is impossible for me to testify per sonally, in partaking of their perils and their glory. The National Guard of Paris have been sensibly moved by the address of their brethren in arms from Warsaw. I have been able to appreciate the impression it has produced, and among the marks of sympathy which daily reach the Polish Committee, 1 am fond to acknowledge the spirit of admiration, affecticit, and gratitude, with which the National Guards are animated, whom you have so handsomely felicitated on our revolution of the metropolis. Re ceive, General, with all devotion for your holy cause, the assurance of the inexpressible joy which yoar prodigious exploit.; give me, and the particular as surance of respectful attachment which you have avowed to your happy grenadier of the National Guard. f oxy ND. lengt ,justVY In! in LAFAYETTE. (Signed) COUNT ANTHONY 0 STROWSKI, SENA TOR PALATIN, COMMANDER OF THE NATIONAL GUARD OF WARSAW, TO THE NATIONAL GUARDS. CITIZEN SOLDIERS, DEAR CO3IRADES,—I hasten to communicate to you the letter which your vene rable colleague, General Lafayette, has addressed to me, and which, unfortunately, did not reach me till yesterday. It becomes to-day the most precious property of the National Guard, and will become au historical document. The words used by the veteran and first author of this institution are as noble as they are useful. In order to express the sentiments which pervade him for us, they may be listened to as the benediction of a father covered with hoary locks to his numerous family. I am therefore cer tain you will give to each of them an attention that may be called religious. You will know how to appreciate the kindness which the patriarch of the National Guards and of the liberty of two worlds manifests to us. You will feel that the most worthy mode of re plying to his affection f or th e P o l es and his sym pathy for their sacred cause is to fulfil always with the same zeal the duties imposed on you by our excellent Institution, to multiply the services already rendered to the country, to defend the capital against all hostile aggression, if occasion require it ; to main tain order, and propagate good sentiments ; in a word, always to preserve that devotedness which has already entitled you to the gratitude of the na tion, and of your respectable colleague Lafayette (whose days may Heaven prolong !) to the welfare of our common cause. Receive, dear Comrades, the brotherly salutation of your Commander. (Signed) OSTROWSKI. Warsaw, 29th May, 1531. On the 29th inst. the National Government, in formed by the Commander-in-Chief that the Go vernor of the City of Warsaw had written him a letter not in conformity with the high dignity with which he is invested, issued on the same day the following Decree : " THE NATIONAL G 0 VERNMENT T 0 HIS EXCELLENCY GENERAL COUNT .KRUKOIVICKL " On the demand of the General-in-Chief of the National Army, dated the 29th inst., the Govern ment finds it necessary to declare to your Excel lency, that the functions of Governor of the City of Warsaw, which have been exercised to the present time, have ceased. In consequence, the temporary Government of the Capitol will be trans ferred to Colonel Kaminski, Vice-Governor. " President of the National Government, (Signed) I" P. A. CZARTORYSKI. " Councellor, Secretary of the National Government, (Signed) " A. PLICHTA. " Warsaw, 29th May, 1831." The request which Count Krukowicki addressed to the National Government, for the purpose of ob taining his dismission, arrived only when this dis mission had been already sant to him, through the medium of the Generalissimo. Extract of a letter from Falmouth, .Jamaica, April 6, 1831 :—" The seasons here have been dreadful, the crops are almost destroyed for want of rain. In the parish of St. Thomas in the vale there has b en no rain these four months. The wells are almost all dried up, and the c tale are perishing for want both of grass and water. Properties are continually catching fire; in short, the hopes of the planters are at the lowest eb' , . As a pro,,f of the deterioration of property in this island, caused for the most part by the Saints, I mention this fact. Last week two beautiful sugar works and a pen in this parish were sold by auction, having been ever since the year 1806 in Chancery—at the commencement of the suit they were valued at 219,7741., and sold now for 74,000/. O n Tuesday last an old sow having a litter of pigs came trolling down Pinchbeck-street, Spalding, and bolted into a cabinet-maker' s shop. A tin.pot, con taining about t!lbs. of oil paint, stood there, and the stupid animal thrust her nose in, sans cerernonie, emptied the pot of its contents, and w a lk e d off as if n o thi ng h ad oc. corretl, 51,E died shortly after. LITERATURE. GARDENS AND MENAGERIE 0 F THE ZOOLOGICAL S 0 CIET Y.—Two Voss. LoNnoN, 1831. To all those who have visited the Zoological Gardens—and who has not ?—this work will prove a very acceptable offering. It is a natural history of the different beasts belonging to the Society's collection, penned in a light, agreeable style, and interspersed with numerous characteristic anecdotes. The details regarding the nature and properties of each animal are full and satis factory ; and, in more than one instance, seem completely to exhaust the subject. Nor must we omit the embellishments, which, besides being numerous and varied, are executed in his best manner by one of the best grtists of the age. They are remarkable for spirit and accu racy of delineation. The work, we understand, has been published with the sanction o f t h e Council, under the superintendence of the Secre tary and Vice-Secretary of the Society. It forms two uncommonly handsome volumes, well printed on the best paper, and is rendered by its com paratively reasonable price accessible to all classes of readers. For young people, in particular, it will form very delightful reading. IVAN VEJEEGHEN, or LIFE in RUSSIA Two VoLs.--LONDON, 1831. The name of this tale is the worst part about it. Ivan Vejeeghen ! Who can fancy a hero, and still less a lover, with such a surname ? It is a regular jaw-splitter, and not to be pro nounced by a young lady without a twist of the mouth, utterly destructive of all sentiment. Yet, notwithstanding his name, Mr. Vejeeghen is a very good sort of fellow, acute, observant of life and manners, facetious in disposition, fond of the ladies, and not offensive in his egotism, al beit he is an autobiographer. His adventures are of the Gil Blas school, alternating between the grave and the gay (the latter preponderating), and he possesses the rare merit of imparting in terest and animation to his incidents without ex aggeration. He describes familiar life in Russia, apparently with fidelity, certainly in an attractive manner. We question, however, whether his book—a translation by a Scotch gentleman— will be interesting to an English reader, the scene of action is too remote. FINE ARTS. SAMPSON CARRYING AWAY THE GATES OF GAZA. An imitation, and by no means a servile one, of Mr. Martin's impressive style of engraving. The landscape is well executed, though there is rather too much of the miniature school of spruce ness about it. The rough crag up which Samp son is toiling with his vast load on his back—is by far the most powerful part of the engraving. The aspect of the moon, with her circular halo of clouds, is rather too formal ; the circle to be natural should be more shadowy ; at present it is too strongly defined and artificial. PORTRAIT OF ALLAN CUNNINGHAM. A likeness of this clever writer and estimable man has just been sent us. It has been drawn on stone by Mr. Wilkin, of Newman-street, and does credit to that artist's ability. In depth and strength of light and shade it has all the power of painting, and we can personally bear testimony to its extraordinary resemblance to the original. In fact we never saw a more complete likeness. Nut only the general cast of the fea tures is preserved, but the peculiar character of the massive towering forehead, which seems preg nant with intellect, and redeems what might other wise—with the exception of the eye, which is re• markable for a certain keenness and earnestness of expression—appear common-place in the coun tenance. By the admirers—and they are nume rous—of Mr. Cunringham's worth as a man, and abilities as a writer, this print will be highly valued. It is the man himself, and in the act, as it would seem, of working out some brilliant thought which has just struck his fancy. Mr. Wilkin, we understand, intends this as the commencement of a series of por traits of the illustrious living literary characters of England ; we hail it as an auspicious begin ing, and have no doubt it will be followed up with corresponding zeal and talent. We have much pleasure in announcing that the combined exertions of all religious Ministers and con gregations in the parish of Luke, Chelea, for the relief of the distressed Irish, have already enabled them to pay into the General Committee at Cornhill 4501, as their first instalment; and we are happy to observe that the example given by that parish has exercised a most beneficial influ ence throughout this metropolis and the country generally, on behalf of the afflicted sufferers —Morning Paper. A Special Committee of the Royal College or Physicians met on Wednesday, to report on the docu ments submitted to them by the Government relative to the cholera morbus, and on the means of preventing its introduction into this country. After a long discussion, the committee came unanimously to the resolution of stat ing the following opinion:—" That the cholera morbus may be communicated by infected persons to those in health; but that no information which has reached the committee justifies the supposition that it is communicable by merchandise. As a measure of safety, however, the committee approve of the establishment of quarantine." There is at this moment lying at Spithead a magnificent fleet, where a Vice-Admiral and a Rear- Admiral have each their flags flying on board a first-rate of 120 guns. In the harbour the Rear-Admiral of Eng land, Commander-in-Chief of the Port, one of the most distinguished officers that the navy can boast, the friend and flsg captain of NELSON, has his flag flying in an old hulk (the Swiftsure), where it may be seen hoisted on a staff secured to a drying-pole, upon which the sailors hang their clothes to dry. Consequently, whenever it becomes necessary to fire a salute, the flag is struck fur the time, and hoisted on board a distant ship at Spithead, after which it once more assumes its former place in the hulk ! These things are facts : if they proceed from economy, is it not pushing economy a little too far ?—Brighton .* If this be correct, it is a very trumpery sort of economy indeed. CHOLERA MORBUS.—As a security against this contagion, many eminent practitioners recommend brandy with laudanum ; the former to keep up the vigour of the abdominal viscera, and the latter to prevent morbid excitability of the system, which predisposes the body to the action of the contagion. In India, brandy and lau danum have been very successfully administered in cases of the cholera of that country. To those who freely indulge in spirits and wine, it generally terminates fatally. Among the Russians it has proved more fatal than among the Poles, in consequence of the great quantity of fish oil the termer take at every meal. Another remedy is simply re peated draughts of hot water in large quantities. REVENUE FROM CRIME.—The Governor of the State of Connecticut, in his message to the Legi slature, informs them that the net gain of the State pri son, for the year ending the 31st of March last, amounted, after paying the expense of guarding, provisions, clothing, and school igstittitioxi, to thy gum of 7,824 dollars. FRANCE. • TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Paris, June 14, 1831. SlR,—Our Citizen King has arrived at Metz. You know I told you a very few days since that Lous Philip was destined to hear the truth on this journey, and that the people would take care to apprze him of their wants and opinions. They have done so at Metz in a singular and decided manner, anti I am sorry to add his Majesty is offended. I may as well add, Metz is nearly two hundred miles from Paris, because then you will see that no one has the right to say that Metz is near the centre: of agitation—that it is influenced by Pails, or that there is such a daily intercourse between the Pa risians and the inhabitants of Met; as almost to render them the same individuals. Well, then, when the King arrived at Metz, the Mayor went out to meet him ; but instead of delivering the keys of the city to the Republican Monarch of France with an address full of servile flattery and gross adulation, I will tell you what he said : " Sire, in olden times, and according to ancient usage, these keys, presented by servility, were the golden sign of an iron slavery; but now all is changed, and these keys are mere!) , the emblems of that harmony which exists between the people and a popular Government." This reception was honest, sincere, and truly loyal. The King replied very graciously, and pro ceeded onwards. After various reviews, examina tions, and so forth, his Majesty received the ad esses of the different bodies social and politic, which appeared at his levees, and from amongst a heap of documents more or less valuable, I feel it my duty to call your attention to the following:— It was the address of the Municipal Council of Metz—the same, therefore, as an address from the Common Council of the City of London. The Council was composed of the most respectable and worthy citizens, and the following was the bold and nervous language of which they made use. Louis Philip was something more than fidgetty when he heard this, and poor Casimir Perier is said to be in disposed, in consequence of the annoyance which the mere reading of a copy of the Address occa sioned him. The following tire the words of the Address : " Political liberty is necessarily favourable to the liberty of commerce. Commerce can never prosper but where there is a free communication between the inhabitants of all countries. Your Majesty has already recognized this principle. To apply it in a manner the most complete, the city of Metz, which has for a long time solicited an entrepot within its walls, again renews its demands with confidence. " BUT, SIRE, OTHER THOUGHTS OF A MORE GENE RAL CHARACTER OCCUPY ALL THOUGHTS IN THIS CITY. THE CHARTER HAS RESERVED TO OUR GOVERNMENT A MOST IMPORTANT POINT TO REGULATE. WE MEAN THE einESTFON OF AN HEREDITARY PEERAGE!! LET US HOPE THAT IN THE NEXT SESSION THE LEGISLA TIVE POWER WILL CAUSE TO DISAPPEAR FROM OUR LAWS A PRIVILEGE WHICH FROM HEREAFTER IS QUITE INCOMPATIBLE WITH OUR NATIONAL MANNERS. " OUR SYMPATHY, SIRE, HAS BEEN ACQUIRED BY THE POLES, WHOSE HEROIC COURAGE IS NOW ENGAGED IN SO TERRIBLE A CONTEST FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY ! OH, MAY THE INFLUENCE or YOUR MAJESTY ASSURE TO THIS GENEROUS NATION A DESTINY WIRTIIY OF THE NOBLE CAUSE WHICH SHE SO GLORIOUSLY DEFENDS !" This Address, delivered with a firm manly voice, for a moment seemed to paralyse the King and his attendants ; but, as it had been arranged with Casi mir Perier, that no explanation should be given dur ing all the journey, either as to the exterior or in terior policy of France, his Majesty, evidently af fected, thus replied : "You speak to me of something which you say all the Municipal Councils of France have proclaimed. They have proclaimed nothing. It is not any part of their duty to discuss or deliberate on suljects of general politics. This right is reserved to the Legislative Chamber I" (What would the citizens of Liverpool say if they were told they had not the right to discuss the qutstions of Reform, War, and Catholic Emancipation? And yet the citizens of Metz have done no snore.— Q.)—" Thus I have nothing to reply to this part of your Address. The same observation applies to that which you say to me on the sulject of the diplomatic re lations of France with Foreign Powers, on which the Municipal Councils have not the advantage or the right fo deliberate !" This is the answer of his Majesty. He will one day be sorry he pronounced it. I am as certain of this as that I ant now writing. What after the revolution of July, have not the respectable citizens of France the right of asking the King to exert his influence in favour of an oppressed ally of their native land ? Now, then, I ask you, Does Louis Philip understand his position, or the revolution of July last ?" You must answer no! Casimir Perier will tall the answer wise, energetic, firm, and so forth—and to-morrow his two Journals will praise it. Poor people ! the day will come when they will al! condemn it. I say, then, that the address of the Municipal Council of Metz was respectful, loyal, patriotic, wise and good—and that, instead of treating its advice with disapprobation and contempt, the King should, at least, have said, " Gentlemen, I will think over what you have said to me, and I trust my policy will be national and just." Undismayed by the reply which had been deli vered by the King to the Municipal Council, a Captain of the National Guards next approached his Majesty with a written address from the Na tional Guards of Metz. The King, evidently ap prized before hand of the contents of the document, inquired of the Captain " if he were the Comman der of the National Guards ?" " No," replied the brave dicer, " but I am deptred by the Com mander to present this address;" and then the Captain read on. It began with 'congratulations and compliments. This was natural and just.— Louis Philip is King of the French, elected by the people, and so long as he remains King, and acts in accordance with the Charter, and the laws, he is entitled to respect and honour. Um then the Ad dress went on as follows : " YES, SIRE, WE CARRY ON OUR FLAG THE DEVICE OF LIBERTY, PUBLIC ORDER.' IN OUR EYES THEsE IDEAS ARE INSEPARABLE. IF ON THE ONE HAND, ORDER BE AN INSEPARABLE CONDITION OF LIBERTY, HAS NOT EXPERIENCE ON THE OTHER HAND SHOWN THAT THE SUREST MEANS OF ASSURING ORDER, IS TO SATISFY THE PROGRESSIVE WANTS OF CIVILIZATION El LIBERAT, ♦ND roruLAR LAWS? " AMONG THESE LAWS, THE MOST DECISIVE IN THE ruTuRE HISTORY OF FRANCE IS THAT WHICH IS IN TENDED TO ORGANIZE THE SECOND BRANCH OF THE LEGISLATIVE POWER, AND TO DESTROY AN HEREDITARY PEERAGE ! !" When Louis Philip heard these words he inter rupted the orator, and, much agitated and evidently annoyed, he thus replied The army has no right to deliberate. You, Sir, are no longer the organ of the National Guards. Therefore, I will not hear any more of your a4dress !" So the orator was silent and withdrew ! This Casimir Perier calls " force," " strength," and e nergy ;" and he thinks that the French will be struck dumb by such firmness. How little does he know of France or Frenchmen ! Just the reverse of this will be the effect of the speech. Up to this time we have laid all the blame on the Minister, but no w it will be divided between the Minister and the King ! lam told that the conclusion of the a ddress of the National Guards, which was not read, requested the interference of his Majesty in t he behalf of both Belgians and Poles, and that the Ki n g cut short the discourse in the middle, to avoid hearing the remainder. lam also assured that the next day some of the officers of the National Guards w ished to present another address; but that an overwhelming majority decided otherwise. These facts are grave, and they give rise to se rious and melancholy reflections. If our citizen Ki n g travels, it cann o t b e to receive fulsome ad dresses, " esets or to be rec e i ve d w i t h a vacant stare or ano unmeaning Vive le R o i." I b elieve his Majesty t() a be sensible a ma n , an d too true a patriot, to h Well, then, if h e tra vels to l c e h a ronkiteheet objects in view, state o f h people, he m us t l earn all or he will be deceived. If he will no t h ear t h e Municipal Council, he must h ear t h e Nat i ona l G uar ds ; and if ho will h ear ne i ther the one nor the have e " other, why then he plays desperate game, and he rn liSt lose. If his object be to learn the state of ►rade, commerce, apriculture, &c., he has been told everywhere that all these interests are deeply sta ff ring, and in more than two ur three addresses he has heard of a general mal-vise which exists. Why is all this? The people of Me'z were anxious to explain and let the King into the secret. But he has closed his ears, and has toll the Municipal Council to mind its own business, and the National Guards not to interfere in politics!! Was this wise ? Oh no Your's, 0. P. Q. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the National of Tuesday. ) PARIS, JUNE 13.—Two hundred and fihv Rus sian ships arrived at Datum in one day, laden with provisions for the Russian army. This c'rcumstance, which several mercantile letters announce as certain, may serve to give us a notion of the kind of nan-in tervention professed by Prussia with respect to the Poles. We have a letter from Toulon, dated June 7, of the following tenour : " The following is the most probable destination of the squadron of observation which is shortly to put to see. Despatches from Count Capo President of Greece, have announced to the Go vernment that, on the oae hand, the old Chiefs of the Turks, who reside in Greece, had tevolted, and threatened the provinces that have been detached from the Ottoman Empire ; and that, on the other hand, several vessels belonging to the Sultan had appeared in the Grecian seas, and might be destined to support the insurgents. The French Govern ment consequently thinks it necessary to send im mediately five vessels, each with four hundred troops on board, as well to observe the movements of the squadron that has come from the Dardanelles, as to reinforce the garrisons of Modon and Navarin, and to act against the rebels. Rear-Admiral Hugon will command this expedition : the squadron will be composed of five ships of the line and frigates, a corvette, and a steam-boat. This is what I have been able to discover on the subject. " Yesterday evening there was an affray between the marines and the soldiers of the 17th Regiment of the line ; four men were killed, and some others wounded. The true cause of this event is not yet known ; several persons have been arrested. " Some Spanish Constitutionalists, the same that took refuge at Oran , after having. made themselves master of the ship Matilde, have arrived here and at Marseilles : they ure conveyed to the ititeror of France." Our latest accounts from Hayti contain nothing very interesting, or at least very new. The treaty of commerce between France and the Republic was impatiently expected at Port-au- Prince, and the solicitude of the Haytians was the greater, as it was feared the President would not ratify the arrangement if the Envoy of the Republic should not have followed his instructions in every particular. The opening of the Chambers had been put off till the Ist of October. This measure, which was by no means expected, and the reasons for which it not easy to discover, is far from satisfactory to the majority of the inhabitants ; the alarm felt was the greater, as every body seems to be convinced that a trifle would suffice to cause a terrible commotion in Hayti. The journals of the country are decided respect ing the admission of foreigners, or rather the limits which ought or ought not to be fixed to hospitality. The dislike of several powerful Haytians to the new guests of the Republic displays itself in this dispute with a degree of heat calculated to make the Euro peans sensible of the inconveniences of their resi dence in the ancient French colony. (From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.) PARIS, JUNE 13.—The Prussian Charge d'Af faires, and the Russian Ambassador, have obsti nately refused to sign the passports of the French physicians, appointed by the Academy of Medicine, at the instance of the Minister of the Interior, to go and examine the cholera in Russia Poland. M. Pozzo di Borgo has, however, consented to sign, but not officially, the passport of Dr. Gaimard, ►vith whom he is particularly acquainted. The other phy sicians and surgeons are going without regular papers. On Saturday next, the 18th of June, the anniver smy of the battle of Waterloo, a funeral service will be celebrated in the church of Notre Dame in ho nour of the French soldiers who died gloriously fir the cause of itAtional independence. The Chamber of Nuncios (Deputies) of Po'und has decided on the motion of Count Jean Lido chowski—that the Marshal of the Diet and the Resident of the Senate shall devise means of send ing to Constantinople a Turkish standard, taken by the Russians during the last war, and presented to the Poles by the Emperor Nicholas. It is thought that four Turks, lately made prisoners in an engage ment with the Russians, will be coirmissionei to bear this standard to the Sultan. A tree of liberty was planted, on the 6th, at Avignon. (Fro►n tLe National of Tuesday.) LIBERTY 01 , "rHE PRESS IN THE EAST. CONSTANTS NOPLE, MAY B.—The President, Capo d'lstrias, annoyed by the repeated attacks of the Courrier de Smyrne, is doing all he can to obtain its suppression. He demanded for that purpose the mediation of the Russian Ambassador to the Porte. The latter, i❑ an interview he lately• had with the Reis Effendi, called in an official manner for the in terdiction of the Courtier. The Mini,ter replied that " a translation of that Paper was regularly for warded to him for p:•rusal, and that he saw nothing objectionable in its articles, which he conceived to be written with due regard for all the foreign Powers; that the Grand Signior read it, and was highly pleased with its impartiality ; and that, consequently, the Ottoman Porte could not grant him his request, nor commit so odious an injustice towards a French citizen." (From the .31essager des Churnbres of Thursday.) WARSAW, JUNE l.—ln the sitting on the 25th the Diet was occupied with some explanations upon the subject of D►vernickt's corps, at present in Austria. The Nuncio Wenzyk asked if the Ministty had insisted upon the Cabinet of Vienna restoring the General ? The Minister for Foreign Affairs (M. liorodyski) answered that the Government had sent an agent to Vienna to obtain that satis faction of the [Austrian Government, but that the Austrian Consul at Cracow had refused to furnish him with passports to prosecute his journey. The Diana corvette, which had been sent to South America to state that the King was ready to enter into relations with ir, has returned to Brest. The propcsition was received with enthusiasm. BERLIN.—The return of Baron de Werther to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is undoubted. Prussian politics, when directed by him, will con tinue to pursue the path of order and peace. — Gazette d' Augsburg. (From Galignani's Messenger of Wednesday.) General Belliard arrived at Paris last night horn Brussels. Among the articles in the Constitution adopted by the Canton of Berne is one precluding any future military capitulation with foreign Powers. It is stated that the Duke de Reich,tadt has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the regiment of Guilay. The Jules-Julie, of Havre, has arrived in that port from Rio Janeiro, bringing a report from Rear- Admiral Grivel, dated March 29th, containing an account of the circumstances that preceded the ab dication of Don Pedro, and induced him to quit Brazil. The most perfect concord prevailed between the French and English squadrons on the station. (From the Courier Francais of Wednesday.) PARIS.—The llioniteur of the 11th announced that the limits of Belgium were to be fixed accord. ing to the map 3f 1790, and not according to the treaties of 1814 and 1815. That decision of the question which , Conference of London g i ves rive to a deserves examination. If Belgium be only to con si,t of the Austrian Low Countries and the Bishopric of Liege, which it was composed of before its union to France in the year 3, to whom are Philippeville, and the other countries separated from France in 1815, to belong? The former kingdom of the' Ne therlands being divided into three parts, Luxem burg, Belgium, and Holland, to which shall Philip peville be allotted ? It was no more to Belgium than to the other two parts that this country was annexed. If Limburg and the left bank of the Scheldt be denied to Belgium, because they did not belong to it in 1790, neither Phillippeville, nor the Duchy of Bouillon, which was a Sovereign State at that epoch, ought to be joined to Belgium. Philippeville be longed to France in 1790. Some coolness has lately existed between the F, ench and Spanish Cabinets, occasioned, as is said, by the useless attempts made by the Ambassador of Spain in Paris to dissuade France from sending forces into the Tagus, and taking decisive measures against Don Miguel. (From the National of Wednesday.) The officers of the National Guard of Metz, hav ing been called together to deliberate on the incident that had occurred the day before at their reception by the King, decided, by a majority of 86 to 43, that there was no occasion to present another ad dress to his Majesty. (From the Afessager des Chambres of Wednesday.) A Council of Ministers was held yesterday, at one o'clock, at the Ministry of the Interior, and - another at eight o'clock in the evening. We are assured that an expedition is preparing' it: Toulon against Don Miguel, and that Rear-Admiral Hugon is to take the command of it. Two batta lions of infantry, and a battery of six pieces of ar tillery, have been already embarked. A letter from Toulon states that it will be ready to sail on the 17th of June.—Semaphore. The 4th battery of the 4th regiment of artillery, in garrison at Rennes, has been ordered to prepare to march—some say for Brest. This has led many to believe that forces were about to be directed against Portugal. Grave disorders were committed last night in the quarter of the fauxbourg St. Denis. Thanks to the National Guards and troops' of the line, the public tranquillity is entirely re-established. We shall collect with care all the details necessary to en lighten the public, and which will show to what point a handful of factious persons can carry their raving and audacity. A great number of them taken in the very fact have been arrested.--Moniteur. At a meeting of the officers of the National Guards, convoked by the Mayor, for the purpose of taking into consideration the occurrence of ye,- terday, it was decided by a majority of 86 against 83, that no new address should be presented to his Majesty.—Metz Journal. The French Papers say, that Dim Pedro, upon his landing at Cherbourg wrote a letter to the King, stating that he intended to escort his wife to Munich, where she was to remain for her accouchement, and that afterwards he was desirous of residing in France incognito. A private letter adds-" Don Pedro relates with a good deal of mildness the events which led to his abdication. Although the revolution was consummated in one day, it was, he says, preparing for more than a month. After a journey in the provinces I returned to the capital on the 12th March, and from that moment until the 7th April, the inhabitants were in a emnplete state of agitation. I had been received with all the appearance of affection, but during the night of the 13th March, a conflict with an effusion of blood took place between some Portuguese and Brazilians. These excesses continued on the day of my solemn entry (15th March). Soon an address was presented to me by twenty deputies. I answered it at once, and on the same day modified my ministry. The 25th of March, the anniver sary of the establishment of the constitution, was celebrated with great demonstrations of joy. On the 3d of April I convoked an extraordinary meeting of the General Legislative Assembly. My good intentions were misinterpreted, yet I had yielded three times to their wishes; three times I had loudly testified how much my thoughts were pure, loyal, and constitutional. They wished to impose upon me another Ministry, and to compel me to submit to an act of despotism, which was a violation of the constitution, which conferred upon me the right of choosing my own Counsellors. I retired on the 7th of April on board the English vessel the IVarspite, and at three o'clock in the morning I answered new remonstrances by an abdi cation in favour of my dear son, I)on Pedro d'Al cantara. I did not quit the port of Rio until the 13th of April, leaving to the Brazilians four of my dear children." FRENCH FUNDS.--PARIS, JUNE 15.-Five per Cents. SSE 25c.

(From the Times Private Correspondent.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING. I regret that I cannot communicate a very fa vourable picture at this moment of the state of this metropolis ; not a night passes without some con gregation of the populace in some quarter of the town, where, under a pre!ext mostly frivolous, a tumult is excited, the military called out, and whole districts thrown into confusion. The basis of these disturbances is, I have no doubt, the unemployed condition of a great part of the poorer classes of Paris, and the great difficulties of the Government to provide any kind of occupation for such a mass of people. It is in vain that the War-office places a large body of regular troops at the disposal of the civ'e authorities ; it is in vain that the National Guards almost hourly expose themselves to the harassing duty of quitting their business and parading the streets; it is in vain that arrests are multiplied; still the germs of discontent incrette rather than become exhausted ; and seditious cries, at first only partial, now become general ; and in the street songs t here will be heard frequently among crowds, the sub.titution of the name of Napoleon for that of Orleans. I do not wish to make more of these scenes than they present to my own eye, but I confess that their irritating recurrence very much compromises the stability of the existing Government ; and when I see that they thicken at the ominous approach of the anniversary of the galling victory of Waterloo, and of the gloriously exhilarating days of July for a French mob, 1 am not without apprehensions for the peace of this metropolis during the month or six weeks which are progressing. The following are the best particulars which I can gather from the observations of other persons as well as myself, of the disturbances of last night, which I fear are now renewing. Whilst I write (half-past two o'clock) the drums in the same quar ter are beating the rappel, crowds are again collect ing; and as I shall take a drive to the spot before I close this letter you will hear from me, if the ap pearances indicate any difference from those that have already °centred. On Monday evening, at nine o'clock, a man sta tioned near the Passage de l'lndustrie, fauxbourr; St. Denis, was crying a song, entitled Histoire de Napoleon dans les Cent Jours, when a watchmaker, whose shop is opposite the passage, rushed upon the man and handled him very roughly.
