DEBATE OW POLAND IN THE PRINGLE •
' SWATH

'was, maim,
The debate on Poland wen qoptinne4 to-467 .13t1
the French &mate. ,

The Marquis de la Rochejaoquelin suppotted
pasting to the order of the day, and maintained,
that the movement in Poland was not national,
but revolutionary. •
•1
M. Walewskl protested against the Mamie de 1
Laftoshejaequelin, and 'laid that the treaties of
1815 did not establish the rights claimed by the'
One over Poland. He also protested against the
_assertion that the Poll& insurrection was a revo-
lutionary movement.

-
Prince Napoleon opposed passing to the order of
the day, a coma which would, he said, be con.
sidered by public Opinion much less 'sympathetic
with Poland than if the Senate, were to refer the
petitions for the consideration of the government.
The Prince continued :—" Simply referring the
petitions to the governmentwittand stormy debates
would hare stronetlmaed—the oonfidence of the
Senate in the wisdom of the Simperer, sod would
have Shown France abroad to be intimately bound
to the government on the Polish question."

Alluding to the treaties of 181 E, Prince Napo-
loon said they should only be mentioned to be
execrated. The insurrection in Poiand was, he
said, lawful, on account of the conscription,
which was a real proscription en moue, directed by
the good pleasure of the police. • -
The Prince enumerated the barbarous measures
taken and the atrocities committed by the Rne-i

sisal, and salted whether the Xmperor's govern-
ment ought not to do for ?Nand what preceding
governments had done. . •

In reviewing the position taken up by the great
powers, the Prince wia of opinion that Russia
sought to disturb the good understanding existing
between France and England, in order to carry out
her designs in the East. "Russia, in order to hold
her troops available against thn.emancipated serfs,
eodeaveurbd to concludes convention with Prusaia."

With. regard to Austria, Prince Napoleon said
that her conduct, though it might cense surprise,
was satisfactory.
The Prince then drew attention to the unanimity
of the Polish movement, and said—'Men of all
opinions and all ranks, up to the Archbishop of
Warsaw, take part in the insurrection. With
this state of things it would be deplorable to be
only able to give to the Poles counsels of riiigna-
tion. To. pass to the order of - the day-is to vote
against the national feeling of France. Circum-
stances are more favourable than ever. The Em-
peror is in the prime of his years and bis genius.
Oar prestige is great abroad, and affairs at home
are on a solid basis. The moment has oome to act."

Prince Napoleon concluded by expressing a hope
that the Senate would not pass to the order of the
day.

M. Billault requested the Berate to adjourn the
debate till to-morrow, in order that the government
might reply to the many imprudent words that bad
just bee* uttered.
