• • 7 Q. ~: POLAND. (From a Corrspontlent of the Times.) is time l'shotild now endeavour to show what has contributed to keep alive the spark of patriotism in Poland during so long a series of years, and the causes that have led to its present explosion. Very early in the reign of Alexander, Prince Adam Czartoryski was invited to Petersburgh, and entrusted with a portfolio in the Cabinet. He enjoyed a great degree of favour with the Emperor, who empowered him to organize a system of public instruction for the Lithuanian and Ukrainian provinces, which, with the help of Count Czacki, he carried successfully into effect. He procured the establishment of Uni versities at Wilna and Krzeminiec in Volhynia, which were filled by able professors of ancient and modern languages, and which continued to benefit the youth of the country for above twenty years, when the Emperor chose to replace Prince Czartoryski by the Grand Duke Constan. d. It was not lens before Constantine found the system of education too liberal, and the teachers too enlightened, and by . a sudden and arbitrary degree, expelled or rusticated some hundreds, both students and graduates, among whom was Professor Lelewel, an eminent antiquarian and geographer. One and the same spirit has al. ways animated the Polish patriots whether at home or in exile,whether submitting unwillingly to wear the gilded trappings of the Courts which they despised, of toiling in Italy or St. Domingo for the ambitious views of a man who cared far less for themselves than for him ; and that spirit was the heroic desire of preserving the name, the glory, or at least the memory of their nation to future ages. It was this feeling: that prompted Dombrowski to assemble and keep up his celebrated legion; it was this that led to the constant endeavour of those who re mained at home towards preserving what they ex pressively term the nationality of their country. Every thing was to be feared if Austria, Russia, and Prussia, succeeded in abolishing their lan guage, religion, laws, dress, and customs, all which has been most cruelly and artfully at tempted; but, thanks to the stubborn resistance that has always been opposed, the attempts of the conquerors have everywhere failed. They needed no Carbonarism, no secret societies: where the whole nation, divided as it was, formed one VIA patriotic society, nothing was wanting but perseverance in the few that were in a posi tion to exercise an active influence on their aoutitrymen, and patience in the rest. This well-imaned system soon met with it s rewar d, for to t his principle of nationality which ani mated Dombrowski after every victory in which the legion had participated, to renew the claims of the Poles upon Napoleon, and to urge him tO make an effort in their favour, is due the first idea of the erection of the Duchy of Warsaw ; and to the same principle which had quietly pre pared the rudiments of civil institutions, and preserved the national character almost unknown to its oppressors, is due the instantaneous vigour with which it started into life, and the consis tency it assumed while as yet a new creation. The severeignty was properly conferred on the King of. Saxony, on whom the Polish crown had been settled by the Diet which so honourably and wisely abolished elective monarchy. The paltry policy of Napoleon prevented him giving it the title of kingdom, Th e Congress dethroned him, but the true POles remember that the King of Saxony is the heir of Poland. A better choice of a sovereign, or one more agreeable to the true interests of Europe, could hardly have been selected. The Polish army, in 1809, under Ponia toweki, secured for themselves the enlargement of the Duchy , ohich then took place, seconded, as usual, by an interior movement among the nobles of (laid*. Napoleon was the only cause that they retained not half the territory they had taken ; and had the Duchy not thus maintained its consequence, it is hardly to be supposed even the present kingdom would have been allowed to stand. During the whole of this time effbrts were making by the enlightened men of letters, and the gentlemen who are generally well educated, to encourage a national spirit in civil as well as military life. The country houses of the great nobles were a sort of rendezvous for all the young men who wished to come forward under the auspices of those who had personally borne the shock of the first revolution. In these societies the history of Poland was the chief study, and studied in such a manner as to have produced, on every favourable occasion that has since offered, the most satisfactory results. One of the friends and companions of Kosciuszko, Julian Niemco wica, bad the happy thought of writing a vo lume of popular ballads, on historical subjects, taken from the early records of the monarchy, in which the memory of the warriors who so often defended their ancestors, and, indeed, all Europe, from the encroachments of the Turks, is celebrated in animating poetry, while the sm. timents that are introduced arc made to bear upon later events that every child could under stand. tine. The Russians have now prohibited this work, entl erteeral others of a like na'ure. The cen• *ors* is so strict, that the commonest French clessic* cannot be imported, or even lawfully poyetrwed, without they bear the stamp of Go. yerturo,ut. I should not omit that the Episco ied Pe,ece, at Cracow, has been decorated with trescoes representing the principal events of the history of the country, modern us well as ancient, with such an unequivocal feeling, that should the Russians ever set foot in it, there is little doubt of their destruction. But perhaps no thing bits contributed in a more lively manner to impress on the rising generation the feeling of what they have lost, and a longing for its reco very, than the national museum at Putawy. Its brief but appropriate inscription—" The Past to the Future," speaks volumes to every Pole that enters it. in those words are contained the sum of all that for the last 50 years has formed the soul of the nation, which ever since its lowest point of humiliation in die triple par titian of P7OO, has, in consequence of the well conceived end well-inculcated system which 1 have described, been gradually, slowly, but surely rising in the scale of political existence . This museum was formed by the elder part of the Csertoryski family, who will survive, living mo numents of Poland eve n b e f ore t h e first par tition, and who during the few leisure years of the long and Stormy period which has elapsed since that catastrophe, helm collected relics of every person celebrated in their history, civil or mili tary. These relics ere chiefly Arms, worn by their ancient warriors in battle against the Turks, Swedes, and MUSCOV !te . s, who h ave a l ternately invaded Poland ; for i t is worthy o f spec i a l no . tieei and highly creditable to the natioo, that the Poles are perhaps the only people who never possessed the lust of conquest—the only one who never shed blood but in their own defence, or that of Christian Europe. And what a re turn has that Europe made to them ! Down to the period of Alexander's death things remained in a state of constant but silent struggle between the Russian Government and the people—constant insidious encroachments on the one side, and steady lawful resistance on the other. The people were never wearied of pe titioning and complaining according to law, and the Government were often obliged to yield, when they would have goaded them into rebel lion—(the Catholic question was carried by similar legitimate means.) On the Emperor's death, Europe saw with surprise that no Poles were found implicated in the conspiracy of the Russians. A few were arrested, anti after a long and inquitous trial condemned to secondary punishments ; but to the surprise of Government itself, they were found totally► unconnected with the Russian plot. What, indeed, had they in common ? It was as unlike the nature of the Poles to meditate the assassination of the Impe rial Family, as unlike a Russian to devise a steady constitutional resistance to his authority. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We lay before our readers a third communi cation on the affairs of Poland, from our very able and candid correspondent Pabel. His ob servations on the mode of warfare, which, from the nature of the country, the Poles must neces sarily adopt, are characterised by good sense.— He truly observes, that undisciplined hordes can never act to advantage in open countries, and unfortunately Poland is quite open towards Russia. The successful resistance of regulars in Paris and elsewhere to undisciplined men, has led many people to suppose that regulars can be encountered to advantage every where by the same description of force. They forget that a city gives to its inhabitants all the ad vantages of a broken country against regulars.— Discipline is of as little use in the streets of a town, as in the midst of an American forest. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. SIR---I have read in the Constilutionnel of the 20th, an article on the kingdom of Poland—the population of which the writer estimates at more than four milliens—and the former Polish army at 36,000 men : whence he concludes, that the armed force which the Poles may collect from the kingdom alone may amount to between 3 and 400,000 men. At the same time he exults that the great cause of the liberty of Poland is already achieved. There are in this calculation very great errors. Nothing is more natural than that a man of an ardent tempera ment, who loves his country, and who has, perhaps, long suffered for its cause, should abandon himself to premature hopes, and allowing his judgment to be seduced by the success of the first moment, to conclude that the final result will be accomplished. But what will be the effect of such exaggera tions ? The adversaries of the cause smile at and will profit by them as a proof of weakness, and the partizans of liberty may be carried away to look at the state of affairs in a wrong light, and even to employ wrong means. The truth, it appears to me, the pure and simple truth, ought to prevail in all the accounts which relate to such an important areir. The truth alone can deserve, it appears to me, for unhappy Poland, the assistance of the Great Powers, without which it will only be the tomb of the last of its patriots. Among the four millions of inhabitants, which the author of th e article in question reckons, we must include very nearly one million of Jews. They detest the mili tary service, and it would be very bad policy to force them at the present moment to take up arms. On the contrary, they must be conciliated as much as possible, and induced to supply money, and provi sions, and ammunition, to which they will more readily consent than expose themselves to the fire of musketry. There remain then little more than three millions of Poles, as I have already stated in my former communication. The article already referred to Commits another error in saying, that the army amounted to 36,000 men. Since 1815 that army never exceeded 26,000 men. It is, however, in excellent order, animated by the greatest enthusiasm, and commanded by ex. cellent officers. To say that the kingdom may raise an armed force of more than 300,000 men, is to create an unpardonable delusion. The kingdom does not possess enough arms for such a mass, and even if all the inhabitants between the ages of twenty and fifty, who are in tt condition to bear arms, were to be engaged, an army of more than 200,000 man could not be formed. It should also be remembered that the Russians are advancing with disciplined troops, and that time is wanted to organize such a mass of rude peasants, with whom the Poles will not be able to resist a disciplined army. It will be better to have a small but well-disciplined army, than a disorganised horde, which would impede rather than facilitate the operations. In all inter sected countries, if the mass of the inhabitants be armed, they may accomplish wonders, because the ground otters them all sorts of means of defence for individual combat. But in Poland, where the whole vast territory is almost open, particularly towards the frontiers of Russia, some hundreds of regular troops would be sufficient to disperse thousands of peasants even if they were well armed., In my last letter there is, I observe, a great e rror . It is stated that Warsaw is we ll fortified ; it ought to have been, if Warsaw were w e ll f ort ifi e d, i t could resist several months. The position of this city on the Vistula supplies considerable means of defence. Fortification is the art of enabling a small number of troops to defend themselves against a large num ber, which is now precisely the case with the Polish army. That army possesses not only skilful and experienced engineers, but also clever men, accus tomed to all the works of fortification, who could supply all its wants. Surrounded on all sides, the Poles cannot engage in an offensive war ; they must confine themselves to defending, as far as possible, the ground they occupy, till that time comes, when they shall receive assistance. For tide reason it seems to me very improbable that the Dictstor has sent any regiments to Posen and Cracow, as several Journals assert. All his forces must be directed to sustain the attack of the Russians, to gain the Niemco, and give his band to Lithuania and Volliyaia. It would be very impru dent to draw on him the attacks of Prussia and Aus tria, unleqs be is compelled. The aflitirs of Paris having taken so favourable a turn for the common cause, the French having covered themselves with additional glory by their conduct in these last few days, we may, at l e n gt h, hope that n di vers i on f or the West of Europe will make the Despots of Germany tremble for their owe safety, and then the time will come when Posen and Galicia will unite with their brethren, and Poland, strengthened by its finest provinces, will have every chance in her favour for opposing Russia, PABEL A hay-mow at Keynshatn, near Bath, was consumed on Thursday night; and a few nights ago two wheat-ricks, at Luntwit Major, (ilamorganahire.

FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres, dated Sunday.) SAINT LAURENT (DEPARTMENT OF THE VAR), DEc. 15. The garrison of Nice is composed of two regiments_ of infantry, and a company of light cavalry. AA for the possibility of keeping► down public opinion much longer, I think it is difficult. Every body (so my friends write to me) remem bers that they were once Frenchmen, and who would not be proud to be under the paternal, liberal, and eminently legal government of Louis Philip I.? We often speak of France,—we long for her,—we address all our wishes to her,—may she one day send us her's ! We sympathise with the nations who feel the value of liberty; of course our thoughts are directed to Switzerland, Belgium, Poland, and, above all, France. It is reported that the Austrians are advancing towards Piedmont. I imagine you will interfere if it should be necessary. The people of July have nothing to fear from the oppressors of Italy. A letter from Bellingzona, of December 7, con tains the following details, of which we, however, by no means warrant the authenticity : " Terror is at its height in the city of Turin. A small fort is building on the Monte to bombard the city in case of an insurrection. Cannon are planted in the principal streets, mid gunners bivouac about their guns. " The King of Sardinia has quitted Genoa to re turn to Turin. The Genoese have offered him a pension of a million and a half to obtain the indc pendence of the ancient republic. The King, re fusing this offer, has ordered the arrest of a number of Genoese citizens, who have been imprisoned in the citidal of Alexandria, the fortress of Fenestrelles, and the castle of Ivree. It is affirmed that Charles Felix intends to abdicate in favour of the Duke of Modena." DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. THE HAGUE, DEC. 23.—According to accounts from various quarters, the loan for 1830 is sub scribed to with the greatest readiness and zeal. It is said that two-thirds are already paid, though the whole amount is not required before the end of January next. This is another proof of the senti ments which now animate the inhabitants of the old provinces. Last Monday a few Belgian brigands appeared at Chaom, in North Brabant, who, however, soon re tired, after having regaled themselves with beer and gin. On Tuesday, 2to Belgian volunteers, with some officer., posted themselves in Barba Nassau, on the Dutch territory. Lieut.-Gen. Van Geen immedi• ately caused all communication with Basle to be in terrupted, probably because that village is wholly out of the military line. General Dibhets, Governor of the citadel of Maestricht, reports that the insurgents of Vise had detained two ships with oats, and one with coals, coming to Maestricht ; he had, by way of reprisal, stopped two waggons with tobacco, going from Venloo to Liege, and had caused the goods to be deposited in the entrepot.

This morning we had a decided thaw, but at present (three o'clock) the thermometer is falling, and there appears to be every probability of a sharp frost during the night. EXCHANGES ON LONDON.

FRANKFORT, DEC. 21.—An article, dated Crit , cow, December 10, gives the following particulars of the state of things in Poland. The Provisional Government at Warsaw has assured all the envoys of foreign powers, in a circular letter, that their persona and property are placed under the protection of the Polish nation, and that they need not entertain any apprehension ; that the Government will earnestly endeavour to cause the change effected in the Kingdom of Poland to be considered as having no connection whatever with the provinces that formerly belonged to Poland; and that it will oppose all attempts that may be made to cause an insurrection in Posen or in Gal licia. CRACOW, DEC. 10.—The Grand Duke Constan. tine was not at first disposed to leave Poland, think ing that it was nothing more than a temporary effer vescence, which would soon be over. It was not till he learned that Chlopieki took the command of the army that he endeavoured to negociate, and fail ing in this, resolved to leave the country. FRONTIERS OF HVNGARY, DEC. 9.—As soon co the news of the insurrection in Warsaw was received at Vienna, couriers were immediately despatched io the regiments of Furatineverther, Bentheim, Knese vich, and Knisky, which were on their march from Gallicia towards the west, with orders to halt wherever the couriers met them, and directions to the first two to turn back, and go into cantonments about Teschiu, on the frontiers of Gallicia. A courier passed yesterday through Presburg, with orders to the regiment of Leiningen, now in garrison in Transylvania, to march imts►ediately to Lemberg. It is clear, however, that these are merely precautions, to prevent the spreading of the troubles. Prince Lobkowitz, Governor of Gallicia, on the news of the scenes of bloodshed in Warsaw, let out for Vienna', to obtain instructions in case of any disturbances in Lemberg, where some apprehen sions are entertained on account of the vicinity of Russian Poland. BERIN, DEC. 18.—The Russian troops, which are destined to reduce the rebellious Poles, are ad. vaneing by forced marches to the frontiers, and are partly conveyed by sledges. Under the Emperor, who will have the chief command, the army will be commanded by Field Marshals Diebitsch and Paskewitscb, and a third General (probably Geis mar), we therefore look forward with anxiety to decisive events. Notwithstanding many reports all remains quiet in Gallieia, and it is said that the Court of Vienna will strictly observe the principle of the non-inter. vention. BOHEMIAN FRONTIERS, DEC. 6.—Seyeral regi ments of cavalry have been removed from Gallicia to Bohemia; the reason assigned is, that provisions and forage are ext reme ly scarce in Gallicia.--ficon hurg Correspondent, Dec. 21. A second despatch of his Imperial Highness the Cesarewitseb, published in the Petersbergh papers, speaks in the highest terms of several individual officers who have since adhered to the cause of the insurrection. The following is an extract:— " The pillage anti excesses of every kind which accompanied the first proceedings of the insurgents, have been stopped, thanks to the measures taken by the Polish General en relracle Chlopi e ki in the Si. Prlersburgh Journal), wh o , seconded by the well-disposed inhabita n ts, is acti ve l y en gage d i n restoring order." WAasaw, Dix. 16.—A corps of 1,000 men, armed with scythes, nnder the command of a Cap min Jakowski, has arrived here. Immense military stores have been found in the fortress of Modlin. Seven millions of cartridges were f oun d , and five millions more in the course of being teed, up. The report of artillery, according to one of our Papers, has been heard in the direction of Czenstchow. The manufacturers of Zgierga, Konstantinow, and Alexamhow, have formed themselves into a Ger man Legion, which has been placed under the corn mind of M. Ogolowicz. Thu number of Russian prisoners here is so great, that several monasteries are already filled Kith them. They are treated in the kindest manner. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 28, lOU We have received the Nuremburg Correspon dent and some Frankfort Papers, the former of which states that the events at Warsaw had, as might have been anticipated, excited considerable sensation at Vienna. It is there supposed that the insurrection had been some time in progress, and by an accident had broken out too soon! The contents of the Frankfort Papers are unim portant. Varna, Dec. 12.—The marriage of the young King of Hungary to a Prince.. of Sardinia was formally made known yesterday. His Majesty the Emperor goes on the 15th to Presburp, to close the Diet by a speech from the Throne. The Diet convoked next year may perhaps sit at Pesth, at least if the Emperor accedes to the petition of the Magistrates and Deputies. The happy consequences of the proceedings of the Diet this year will doubtless be soon manifest. The incorporation of Galicia and Dal matia with Hungary, which Is equally desired by bath nations, seems particularly advisable and salutary. The events at Warsaw caused great sensation here, because we did not expect to hear anything ditto kind from that quarter. The real cause which gave rise to this insurrec tion is at present involved in obscurity, but it is generally believed that the insurrection, which was already preparing, broke out through some accident too soon. Now that the Russian troops are advancing from all sides to take np can tonments in the Polish province., this insurrection will ' probably be suppressed much more easily than if it had occurred at a time when the Russian emirs were in remote countries. No accounts have yet been received from our physician., who are sent chiefly from Galicia to Moscow to investigate ' the cause and remedies of the cholera. What we learn from Moscow, and theother provinces where the disorder has prevailed, is not very encouraging. We know that neither the cold season, nor the sanitary cordons, have any decided effect in arresting the disorder; and if the lists of the sick and dead show smaller number,, this is not to be so touch ascribed to the diminished virulence of the disorder, as to the circsmatance that so many persons have already fallen a sacrifice to it, or have happily reco vered ; rani likewise because the number of persons .asleep tilde of the disease must necessarily decrease. GOTHA, Dec. 12.---The carriage left behind by Duke Charles of Brunswick, in his flight from Osterods, and which was taken to Brunswick, arrived here to-day, under the care of a Brunswick officer, and is now gone to Mete, where the Duke is supposed is be at present. The carriage is accompanied by the Duke's valetde-chauthre, wbo was separated from him at Osterods, and by a servant of M. Bender Von Brenenshal, who is now ander arrest in Brunswick. Among the things found in the carriage, were numerous copies of a proclamation falsely ascribed to Duke William, in which he is made to say, that his dear brother Duke Charles has revoked the authority which he gave hint for a time to govern the country, and recom mending all faithful subject to attach no credit to the scandalous caluntaied propagated to tht disadvantage of his dear brother, This forged proclamation is dated Rich mond, (a country Neat near Brunswick,) and dated . Dee. 23. We have already expressed our regret that, al le very moment of the accession to office of a Ministry whose first principles are those of con, ciliation► to the wishes of all classes of his Ma. jesty's subjects, whether Irish or English, the demagogues of Ireland should have thought fit _ _ to enter with fresh vigour upon their work of disturbance. Whilst it must be obvious to every real friend of Ireland, that the foundation of her national happiness can only be laid in tranquillity and repose, her people are called forth by the voice of the revolutionist, irritating those rude passions which are so easily excited, and so hardly calmed, and vituperating, in perfect igno rance of their intentions, the Statesmen who have just been called by public opinion to the government of this nation. To suppose that the condition of the Irish people could be ameliorated by a repeal of the Union, is a most gross fallacy. The substitu tion of an Irish, for a mixed Legislature, would be an alteration of mere form, and it is by changes, not in the form of her government, but n her public economy, that addition can be made to the amount of happiness in that country. In all States more depends upon the talent and spirit of the rulers, than the composition of the Legisla ture, and it is almost certain that A dissolution of the Union would give to Ireland an Administra- tion little conversant with sound principles of Go vernment, and a Parliament that would soon be co me, as of yore, a b ye - wor d f or corruption and jobbing. There is every reason to f ear that an Irish Parliament would i ra t e rrupt t h e b enefi cial operation of those Commercial Laws which have established a perfect freedom of intercourse between the two countries : nor is there any ground to believe that a national separation would be the means of introducing capital into the poorer island, for countries are not to be enriched bY the increased number of consumers in a me twpolis, but by dm regular progress of industry and enterprise throughout the land. In our humble judgment, the dissolution of the Union would effectually retard the progress of Ireland in wealth and civilisation, and consequently in happiness. But, it will be said, the question has already decided itself, so far as regards the popular wish. Catholics and Orangemen, the middle classes and the lower—the well-fed and- the hungry, are calling for a separation with one unanimous voice; and Mr. O'CONNELL has made as triumphant an entry into Dublin, as if he were already installed on the Throne of the ancient Kings of Ireland. These facts cannot indeed:be denied, and if events are suffered to take their present course, it is vain to dissemble the strong probability of the Union being torn violently asunder, without regard to conse-, quencee. If, under such circumstances, we were called upon to contribute our advice, we should say to the Government, in such a crisis a bold and fearless course of policy must be adopted, or Ireland will never be reclaimed. The causes of discontent must absolutely be removed—the Protestant Church, which the law has for cen turies unjustly quartered upon a Catholic people, must be speedily brought to an end. The tax ation of Ireland, small as its nominal amount may appear, must be reduced to a ratio more commensurate with its resources. The measures recommended by the late Committee for the relief of the poor, must be instituted forthwith, together with others for the same end, and :the relations between landlord and tenant must be ' placed on a new footing. Theseare the description of changes which are indispensable, and unless they are carried into effect with speed and vigour, Ireland will soon be out of our reach, and will suffer a revolutionary shock which may not improbably be accompanied by scenes of blood, similar to those which have accom panied the several rebellions from 1642 down to the period of the Union, which is sought to be severed. To attempt to put down the demagogues by external force, is an expedient not for a moment to be thought of. So long as they keep within the law they cannot be interrupted. The feel ings of disaffection which exist in Ireland to wards England, are the natural result of a long period of misgovernment. The points therefore to be determined are--What acts of justice re main to be performed to them ? What conciliatory measures can be devised to appease them ? What pledges can be given them of the sincerity of our wishes to promote their happiness, and thereby to secure to ourselves the lasting gratitude and affection of a generous and confiding people ?
