strong cordon of troops road prevent tlij Poles of
Galicia from supplying their countrymen with that
food, at least, of which their cruel oppressors seek
to deprive them. The English, the French, and
the German populations are all alive to the
sufferings and to the fate of Poland, and
the symptoms are strong which show that
their Governments cannot remain supine or indif-
ferent during the tedious perpetration of • great
crime. The Poles, to be sure, have a power of
endurance such as no race has ever shown,
and the means of surviving measures of
cruelty and extermination such as only the most
refined cunning could suggest. lint the world
should not allow the martyrdom of a people to be
prosecuted in cold blood. It would be a blot on
the century, and would turn to derision all its boasted
progress in humanity. If united Europe were to
say with earnestness and emphasis that it would not
suffer Poland to be extinguished, the old Russian
party of barbarism and extermination must recoil,
and be compelled to relax the gripe in which it
at present holds its victim. Were the universal
word spoken, war would not be necessary.

treiPORTINT FRENCH DESPATCH.

The following circular of M. • Dronyn de Lbuys
to French diplomatic agents is the latest state paper
laid upon the table of the French Senate

Paris, March 1. 1863.

When the present troubles broke oat in Poland they had
merely the character of an act of resistance to a measure of
internal administration adopted under abnormal conditions.

The uneasy state in which the counky had long been no
doubt augmented the gravity of the aids. It was, never-
tholes*, purely local before the signature of the
convention between Prussia and Rook. But when
it became the object of an international act, the
question changed its nature, sod the cabinets wow called
upon to appreciate these &reneger:omits. We were speedily
made aware of the views of the British cabinet by the
speeches of the Queen's ministers in parliament, and • com-
munication from the court of Austria, regarding her stands
is Galicia, led us to think that the seatiments of that
power were not widely different from car own. It appeared
to us, however, that an understanding was desirable before
taking any official step in regard to the Prussian govern-
meat. We were persuaded that observations which the
three cabineta might agree in thinking it right
and useful to make separately at Berlin, would
be more right and more useful still if made simultaneously
in similar terms ; that an opinion presented in that form
woad be al ream authority, and that moreover the very
mimenity cd giving a common expression to the ideas of the
three Forties would be a guarantee for moderation and im-
partiality. The government of her Britannic Majesty has
not adhered to the step which we were disposed to take. Aus-
tria, on her part, while adopting our view, has not thought
herself justified in officially blaming • convention with which
she had from the first declined solidarity. In this state of
things the government of the Emperor has no further result
to give to the proposition which supposes an agreement.
However, we have reasons to hope that the effect pro-
duced by the signing of the convention of St. Petersburg
will not be entirely lost, and that the two contracting courts
will duly appreciate tip unanimity of the observations
which these annomeneuts have 00011116:11101i. For our pert
we shall continue to follow these Mild/ with the &pm of
interest which they are calculated to inspire. Our duties in
this respect concur with those of the other great powers
placed in the name position as ourselves. The efforts
which we have made to subordinate any proceedings of the
cabinets to previous concert, testifies moreover to the
sentiments which we feel in an affair which involves on
our part neither private policy nor isolated action.

PARIS, SUNDAT EMMIG.
M. terabit's report on the Polish petitions
contains a sneer at England, which countenances
the attacks of Grimier de Cassagnac and Co.,
and is certainly not creditable in such a
serious and well considered document, unless
it is founded upon better evidence than
I believe it to be. M. terabit, who mentions that
the committee whose organ he is was attended
by Mr Billault before he drew up his report, said
that " England appears to wish by provocations
more or lees sincere to urge us on to a war in which
her government would not support us." This charge
of very black treason against England was received
with cheers by the Senate. When M. Billault oomes
to speak next Tuesday, I do not believe that he
will be able to establish this charge, Public opinion
in England has been like public opinion in France,
greatly excited by the wrongs of Poland, and no
doubt speeches have been made and articles a ritten
which, prompted too exclusively by generous senti-
ments, and forgetful of difficulties which statesmen
must think of, pointed to war. But can the English
government, or England, as a nation, be held
responsible for this exuberance 'I The very same
kind of thing has happened in France M. terabit
enumerates in his report several petitions which
the committee condemned unequivocally, because
they meant war, which the Senate is not prepared
to take the responsibility of recommending. It is
cowardly to throw the odium of inaction upon
England.
