THE LATE MEETING AT ST. ;if ARTI.N'S

HAIL

. The folloting are tl:se resolaiops, with the petition,
which the friends of Polaad were prepe.red to submit to
the meeting at St. Martin's-hail, on Wednesday evening,
when the order of the proceedings *as broken down :
" That it will afford the best security for the preservation
of the balance of power in Europe, and the protection of itS
liberties, that Poland shoUld be restored as a separate and
independent State ; a measure, the necessity of which has
.been recognised by most of the great Conservative statesmen
'of Europe." . • .
" That it is highly desirable that a Polish Legion should be
immediately organised, for the purpose of enlisting the sympa-
thies and inviting the co-operation of the Poles, particularly
those serving in the Russian army."

" That the heroic French nation be called on to unite with
the British nation in flivourof the re-establishment of Poland,
which Napoleon the Great, the immortal precleeessoi• of the
present Emperor of the French, considered the' only effectual
means of preventing Russia from overwhelming the liberties
of Europe."
" That all the constituencies in the United Kingdom are
earnestly requested to hold meetings in behalf of the inde-
pendence of Poland and the formation of aPolish legion, and
it is hoped that the press will cordially continue to advocate
and further these objects."
" That petitions be, presented tobothlleuses of Parliament
praying the immediate formation of Polish Legions, and the
restoration 'of the ancient kingdom ,of Wind, as the surest
means of obtaining a solid and durable peace."
" That the folio wing address to the Polishnation be adopted
and signed by the chairman on behalf of the ineetini, and be
transmitted for circulation to the venerable and illustriOus
Prince Adam Czartoryaki."

The following is a copy of an address to the Polish
nation, which it was intended to have submitted to the
meeting had the proceedings not been interrupted :

.... ~..
" ADDRESS TO THE POLISH NATION, AGREED TO AT, A. PUBLIC MEET-,
ING HELD IN LONDON, THE BTH OF AUGUST, 1855.

" Nearly one quarter of a century has elapsed since
the Diet of Poland, on the eve of the fatal but immortal con-
flict in which the nation was about to engage in defence of
the holy cause of national independence, appealed in vain for
support to the Cabinets of France and England, and declared,
with a sad and prophetic deiotion, that, if they were doomed
to wage alone the impending and unequal contest, and should
fall, that fall should only be accomplished by the liberty of
your country being buried under the .ruin of its towns' and
the bodies of their defenders,

" Well and gloriously was that sad pledge redeemed ; you
added another imperishable example to the annals of patriot-
ism, of how men should battle and die rather than live op-
pressed and dishononred.

" It should be vain at this great crisis to,regret, useless to
speculate on, the political urgencies and motives which then
denied to Christian Poland the assistance which is now being
extended, under far less favourable circumstances, to Alaho-
medan Turkey, against the same insatiable and unscrupulous
Power which was then allowed to destroy the nationality of
the former, but is now arrested in its attempt to absorb the
latter.

" Enough that Providence, just and righteous in all its
ways, has brought about the hour and crisis, often foretold,
when Europe should deeply feel the loss of Poland, and need
her revival ; and still more, has brought about that which
the most far-seeing statesman could scarcely anticipate, or the
most sanguine philanthropist hope for the best means of ac-
complishing that revival in the- union, the anspie!ous and,
chivalrous union of France and England as the champions of
European safety and independence.
" Poles ! deep and fervent has been the sympathy with
your unmerited misfortunes, the admiktion of your heroism
in defende of your country's rights and liberties, which many
Of the best and noblest of the sons of both France and Eng-
land have, from time to time, expressed ; the hour, we hope
and trust, is at hand when that sympathy and admiration
shall be expressed not merely in eloquent words, but in earnest
actions, when France and England shall unite in inviting the
patriot sons of Poland to unfurl, once more, their long-furled,
'but unspotted, banner—unfurl it not only in their own dear
country's cause, but in that cause for which they have so
often fought and conquered and died—the protection of the
rights and liberties of others as well as themselves.
" May that hour find you prepared ! prepared with as
much fortitude for the battle-field as you have exhibited un-
der the heaviest calamities that ever tried a nation's courage,
virtue; and endurance.

" May that hour find you united, and, thus giving the
lie to the vile and ignorant calumny, that even from the
pens and lips of pretended friends as well as of open and
traditional foes, and with dastardly malevolence of purpose,
has pursued and insulted you under the terrible burden of
your own and your country's downfall was owing to your
own inveterate habits of disunion and anarchy—as if it were
not a palpable fact, embalmed in the plainest and clearest
characters of history, that your unanimous labours for that
country's regeneration from the evils of anarchy, and in the
midst of the greatest obstacles, and a pure and enlightened
spirit of order and rational liberty, which called forth the
warmest eulogies of the leading statesmen of ciillised. Europe,
were, the real and unpardonable crimes in the ey'es of neigh-
ing despots which caused the dismemberment of your coun-
try—as your subsequent resistance to the most flagrant vio-
lation of solemn engagements, and the most cruel and intoler-
able oppression, was the pretext for the destruction of your
'national existence.

" Poles! we address you as Englishmen and friends who
have affectionately sympathised with you in your calamities,
and are firmly convinced that the restoration of your country
under a national and enlightened Government will be as
worthy of you as it is eminently conducive to the peace and
safety of Europe.
"May our Almighty and all-merciful God grant the speedy
and full accomplishment of our desires and your hopes.
".Signed on behalf of the meeting by the Chairman."
A petition, of which the following is a copy, was Also
prepared for signature :

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE LORDS SPIRITUAL•, AND
TEMPORAL IN PARLLAMENP ASSEMBLED.
" The humble petition of the undersigned

" Showeth, That as the Russian army to the extent of at
least 200,000 men consists of Poles, it is of the utmost im-
portance that the Polish auxiliaries for service in the Crimea,
on the Danube, and the shores of the Baltic, bearing the
standard and wearing the uniform of their country, should be
instantly enrolled ; and if the Government shall longer ne-
glect so obvious and effectual a mode of disorganising the,
forces of the enemy, it will incur the heavy responsibility of
sacrificing unnecessarily our brave army in the Crimea, and
fall under a just suspicion that it is not, even yet, earnest, in,
prosecuting the war. -
" That by the massacre of the Turks at Sinope, by firing
on a flag of truce at Odessa, by the barbarous murder of
English sailors engaged in a charitable mission under the pro-
tection of a flag of truce at Hango, by, violating all the en-
gagements into which she solemnly catered at Vienna (and
for adhering to which she receives, at the present moment,
80,000/. per annum from this country), by holding a majority
of her population in a state of abiolute slavery, and, lastly,
by her perfidious aggression on the integrity and independ-
ence of Turkey, Russia has proved to the world that she does
not deserve to be ranked amongst civilised States.
" That the Poles have, unlike the Russians, distinguished
themselves not merely by military virtues, but by their cid-
valrous readinesslo protect their weaker neighbours against
their enemies, however formidable ; that the policy of the
Poles was never aggressive ; and that, principally through
their attachment to constitutional liberty, they became the
victims of a conspiracy between the three great despotic
powers.

"That by the possession,of the fertile plains of Poland situ-
ated in the heart and constituting the grtnary of Europe, and
the erection of five great fortresses in that country—Warsaw,
Modlin, Demblin, Brzesc Litewski, and Zamose—Russia has
attained her present alarming preponderance Of power, result.:
ing in the invasion of Hungary, and the aggressionuf Turkey,
the immediate cause of the present war ; and, in the opinion
of your petitioners, a reduction of that power within such
limits as shall render it innocuous in future to the tranquillity
..and liberties of other-nations can be most effectually accom-
plished by the restoration of Poland to the position and rank
of an independent State.
" T.at the difficulties of the war, far from being increased
by proclaiming as one of its objects the restoration of Poland,
would be thereby greatly diminished ; that the valiant army
of Sweden, consisting of more than one hundred thousand
men, and her large fleet of gun-boats, would at once, if she
joined the allies, 'place the strongholds of the Baltic at their
•mercy ; and that, in the opinion of your petitioners, she has
been prevented from doing s 6, in spite of the wrongs whiCh
she has sustained 'from Russia, and the hostility which her
entire population entertains against that State, by impolitic
declarations from certain late members of the English Govern-
ment that it was not their intention to diminish the territory
or humble the power of Russia ; and that if the restoration
of Poland were decided on, the alliance of Sweden would be,
secured,: and she would in all probability be able, supported
by th 6, exertions of the roles themselves' (eVen witliont the
assistance of the allies), to effectuate this great object.
" That the proclamation by the present Emperor of Russia
that the object of his-reign will. be to accomplish the Wishes
_ . _

_ .
and views of Peter, of Catherine, of Alexander, and of Nicho-
las,
is an open and direct menace, threatening the repose,
independence, and safety of all neighbouring State§ ; 'and
whilst it indisputably shows that ' the spirit of encroachment
and wrong by which the councils of Russia- have been avowe,"tly
and traditionally animated' is still in full and venomous force,
it renderi inestimably precious and
_singularly auspicious the
present providential union of England and France,' and. alto
makes it imperatively the. duty of all other European nations,
who are not either the helpless victims or abject and dishonest
accomplices of Russian violence and fraud to join openly and
heartily in.the present contest. .
" Your petitionds, therefore, humbly pray your lordships

- _
that'you will be pleased to present an address to her most:
gracious Majesty-the
Queen, praying her Majesty to give im-
mediate directions for the enrolment of Poles in separate
corps, wearing the uniform and bearing the standard of their
country, and that they may be employed as auxiliaries in the
operations of war now being carried on against the Russian
empire : andAirtber, that her Majesty will concert with her
august ally, the Emperor of the French, respecting the. best
means for restoring Poland to its proper 'place amongst the
nations of Europe as a free and indePendent 'State, and thus
securing a sufficient and material guarantee for a just and
durable peace with Russia.
And your !petitioners, as in duty 136und, will ever
pray," citc: •

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Advertiser.)
The meeting of Wednesday evening, at St. Martin's Hall,
was convened for the purpose of giving expresiion to the feel-
ing which the promoters of that meeting believed to exist
generally throughout the country on the subject of the Re-
storation of Poland, as being the only effectual means of
reducing permanently the power of Russias and securing the
blessings of a solid and durable peace founded on the princi-
ples of international right and justice ; and in the hope that
such a meeting in the metropolis would lead to similar meet-
ings in the provinces during the recess, so as to bring the
national will to bear with full weight and effect upon the
Parliament at its re-assembling.
All these desirable purposes and objects -*ere frustrated,
and the meeting was thrown into confusion and disorder
the first resolution, -which declared the necessity octedbye
Restoration of Poland, being met by an amendment, s:uP °
by an evidently organised body of persons,
friends of Poland, an amendment to the effect tb

storation of Poland,. would -be a snare and a d
Pref,_37tinletonboe.
as Lord Palmerston remained Prince Minister.
This may not have been a movement inscien ttihoeusionxtep7osstsioeuf
Russia, it may have been a perfectly con
of opinion ; but, if so, anything more senseless than the course
pursued can scarcely be conceived.
t It was pressed by the patriotic noble= who occupied the
