LONDON, THErkspAr, APRIL 11.

Tut. Emperor of ROwM♦ has now *sty of
busing on his hands. Henceforth for him and
for Europe in the foremost rank of national inte-
rests there is a " Polish question," which will and
must be reckoned with. Nothing could do more

to armies the sympathy of the whole civilised world
for the Poles than this last brutal and =Nose-

awry attack. Already they were firmly united to
one another. The indignant reception given to
the ex-minister M ocue.riow, at every railway

station throughout Poland, as he withdrew,
sufficiently evinces that attempts to separate or set
at variance the different classes of the popu-
lation must fail.' It no doubt entered into
the calculation of several of the Russian
officials that the publication of the Ukase emend-

gating the serfs and organizing them in communal
assemblies might prove an appeal not only to the
Russian but to the Polish peasant, by holding
forth the Russian Government as the peculiar
friend of that class.

Any such design, however, was more than fnts-
bated by the conduct which the Russian officials
have invariably pursued towards the religion and
the clergy of the Polish people. It is needless to
enumerate here the successive acts, oftentimes of
violence, by which the Russian Government has
sought to de-religionize as well as de-nationalize

Poland. The effect of such attempt' was,
as it ever must be, to identify the population
still closer with its clergy and its creed.
And no one cause has contributed so power-
fully to the preservation of Polish nationality
and spirit as the circumstance of the dominant
country having striven to force upon the Poles not
only a regime but • religion. In the recent
tumults of February, whilst the citizens slain called
forth the sympathy and indignation of the in-
habitants of Warsaw, the fact of the priests and
their procession having been outraged and insulted
by the Russian police had a wide and incredible effect
upon the rustic populations not merely of the Rus-
sian province of Warsaw but of the whole kingdom.
The policy, therefore, indicated in MUCHANOW%
indiscreet circular, that of exciting peasant against
proprietor in Poland, and so renewing the scenes
of slaughter which not many years since ravaged
Galicia, has not the smallest chance of success.
The characteristic of the present Polish move-
ment is the confidence which the people
show in their educated leaders. And it
is with these, not with any demagogues, that the
Russian Court will have to compound. A violent re-
volutionary, an exclusively democratic, or subversive
party has not survived in Poland. That country
has not a MAZZI.II, nor even a Rossetti—a result
owing in a great measure to the fact, that the
exiles and emigrants of Poland to the countries
and capitals of Western Europe have all become
friends and associates of the highly educated and
intellectual classes of those countries. Hence
the great reasonableness of Polish demands;
and hence also, we believe, the roadie' ins
which the Eurzlina at first 'hewed to gym*
a great portion of their desires. The normal
course of iniurrections and revolutions is well
known. At their commencement the popular
chimes, generous in their triumph, are gsms•
rally ready to follow the advice and obey tie
inspirations of their superiors in experience and
intelligence. But if royalty, or if the old govern-
ing classes resist, and show bad faith or insin-
cerity in their concessions, then the influence of
moderate and enlightened men dies away,
and is superseded altogether by that of others
more energetic sad popular. If the Crown will
sot &Ma to a Lararorrz, it must treat with a
Xraassatr, who, if also mistrusted, must in time
give pion to a Darvor.
Thom was ono measure by which the Eamon

might have made it clearly manifest to the Poles
and to Europe that his concessions were sincere,
and that his irrevocable determination was to or-
poise and govern Poland in accordance with the
views of the more enlightened and wise of the
Natives of that country. This was the promulgation
of • large and real amnesty. Edicts have indeed
been issued under that name by the Emperors of
both Jammu and Anirriva. But we could give
abundant examples to prove that the word has
been a mockery both in one country and in the
other. The treatment of the Hungarian legion
by the Austrians is sufficient illustration of what
the Governments of the East of Europe have
hitherto meant by amnesty.
There is, however, • circumstance which disin-
clined the Emperor ALLIANDIII from making such
a concession. It was the belief that the recent dis-
orders in Warsaw were organised and ordered from
Paris. It is even added that the Emperor NArinson
was considered no stranger to them. We mention
this chiefly to show the state of the Raffish= mind,
and the stability of the Franco-Russian alliance, of
which such • bugbear has been made. We do not
believe in the truth of such suspicion. Of course, the
intelligent Polish exiles will have communication
with and influence over their friends at home. In the
present state of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia, and
the entire Austrian Empire, effervescence could not
but commence amongst the Poles. The events of
Warsaw are the natural sod inevitable products of
the time. The influence which the Polish exiles
have had, has been to moderate them, and to per-
suade their friends to accept such concessions on
the part of the Government as indicate sincerity
and ensure progress. As to NAPOLKONII com-
plicity, the reasons for supposing it are too far-
fetched and preposterous. A Polish insurrection
would prove more a source of embarrassment than
of advantage to a Prince who is certainly irreso-

lute, and who evidently knows not well how to
steer through the difficulties of the Italian em-
-1 broilment.

An insurrection, however, was not in question
last Monday. The Government knew that the
Poles, utterly unprepared, could not meditate
such an enterprise, and it is this knowledge which
makes the slaughter of the people more than
cruelty and crime, a wilful and needless sacrifice
of the moral ascendancy which all but the very
worst governments exercise, and without which
there can be no safety for the people nor health
for

.-- the state. ALICIA:WEI 11., if he ham any ca-
pacity for thought, must already have reflected
that his bullets can no more avail against the
forces which are at work in Poland, and in
Europe for Poland, than against the wind or the
rain. Against wild and irregular appeals to brute
force, such u were formerly common enough
among the oppressed people of the Continent,
soldiers may be of use to a Prince ; but the fate
of the kingdom of the Two Sicilia is a warning
to all monarchs who try to establish their power
on armed force.

looked at it, and said with • sort of pride, 'Gentlemen, at
the hour now marked by this watch the whole of the pupils
in France in a certain class are engaged in a certain com-
position.' This puerile satisfaction has nothing astonishing
in • country where people settle by decree the diapason of
all the musical iostrumems in France. lam a great admirer
of regularity in machinery, but 1 value it much less in poli-
ties ; for after all man, acconling to my view, is not meant
to move like a piece of machinery."
