DENMARK AND POLAND.

The students of Copenhagen have issir,d the following
address to the Polish people :
" Poles!—The struggle of your people for independence
and liberty has excited a lively sympathy in our country,
and, while our fellow-citizens chiefly display it by collecting
money to further your cause, we, the youth of Denmark,
students of the learned professions, wish to give you a
marked expression of our sympathy.
" If even at earlier periods internal disagreements and
errors of her sons have contributed to accelerate the melan-
choly fate of Poland, still, on the other hand, history teaches
us that the treacherous fraud and open violence of neigh-
bours superior in power have completed her ruin. In spits
of the law of rations, the country and people of Poland
have been divided and scattered under the dominion
of strangers; despite of the treaties entered into for the
protection of Polish nationality, she has been oppressed and
11-treated, the religion of the people violated, her language
abolished, or nearly so, and many of the noblest some of the
country are confined in distant prisons, or driven into
exile. No country, and no people, in an age calling itself
that of enlightenment and humanity, has suffered what
Poland and her people have suffered. What is regarded as
merit and honour in every other land—love of its past
glory and prosperity, fidelity to its nationality and its
language, devotion to the common country, and belief
in its future prosperity—are, as concerns the Poles,
looked upon, and punished as the greatest crimes. There-
fore, every attempt at the emancipation and regeneration
of Poland is fully justified, and perfectly worthy of
the participation and active support of the whole civilised
world. The tyrannical Government of Russia should not
have attempted, like night burglars, to carry off all her in-
telligent youth to the barracks of St. Petersburg, or to the
forts of the Caucasus; and Prussia, the first originator of the
partition of Poland, should not, by lending assistance to such
infamous measures, have betrayed her evil conscience,
though by so doing she has only kindled again the sympa-
thies of all noble and generous hearts in ',Europe for your
good
