LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER It, Ifl3ll.

We look on the insurrection at Warsaw, even so
far as it has yet proceeded, as incomparably the
most important event that has occurred in Europe
siuce the late Frenc4 revolution. Of the result we

have little doubt. Poland, though her difficulties are
great, will eventually recover her independence.
Other nations, following her example, will start into
the field equally ripe for, and equally determined on,
freedom ; and the gigantic, unwieldy, heterogenous
emp!re of Russia will sooner or later be split into a
hundred different States, each more or less indepen-
dent of the other. Even in the days of the all-
powerful, all. conquering CATHERINE, when almost
the entire military force of Russia was directed
against Poland, its subjugation was a problem which
time only, even after the most lavish waste of
money arid human life, added by the splen-
did talents of that fiend in human shape,
SuwAttaaw, and the combination of other deApoto,
was able to solve ; what their trust be the state of

the case now—how superior must be the difficulty
—how inferior the means, when every principality,
be it great or small, within the CZAR'S dominions, is
hourly waking to the consciousness of its strength;
when nll the wealth, all the energies at the disposal
of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg]) are wanted to
secure tranquillity at home; above all when other
Powers are so deeply engaged with their own titate
affairs as-to be unable to render assistance ? With
respect to himself, the crown of NICHOLAS sits too
loosely on his head, and his head, we fear,
'sits too loosely on his shoulders, to enable
Itim with safety to his person or his power
to direct his individual attention to • Poland
The conspiracy—the subtle, wide-spread conspiracy
that marked his accession to the throne is not dead,
but dormantr—the snake is scotched, not killed.
At the first favourable opportunity it will burst out
with added strength. Besides, who can possibly
doubt the issue of a struggle where the strength of

he oppressor is dividdii; that of the oppreised

united?

Since wr►ting the above, we have received the
following. German and Hamburg Papers, which give
an official account of the progress of the insurrection
at Warsaw, Tranquillity, or something like it, is,'
it seems, at present restored in that city.—
A Provisional Government is organiiing itself";
and the Council of the Administration has issued
a Procla►mation to the country, calling on it to
be moderate and united, and endeavour to avoid
" the melancholy spectacle of a civil war." By the
same Journals we learn that a letter from the King
of ENtit.s.mr has been received by the Provincial
Estates at Brunswick, announcing his MAJESTY'S
intention of resigning to Dike WILLIAM the rights
