Accounts from Buenos Ayres state that the port of Val-
paraiso had been closed for sonic days previous to the sailing
of the expedition, but re-opened again immediately on its de-
parture. There was nothing new respecting the Blockading
Squadron off Callao, but its appearance caused a great
sensation in Peru. In Lima numerous proclamations,
exciting the people to rouse from their apathy, were
profusely distributed. The Protector's Journals acknowledge
that there was secret and deep plotting against the Govern-
ment, in consequence of which several influential individuals
were imprisoned.

DR. FRANCIA OF PAIAGUAY.—A rumour was prevalent at
the beginning of the week (say the Buenos Ayres Papers),
that this personage had terminated his earthly career ; but,
notwithstaridjog the probability of the event, from the goud old
age of the Dictator, it requires confirmation.
Statement of the number of vessels which have entered the
port of Buenos Ayres from sea during the second six months
of the year 1837 ; also the sailing from the same time : —Ar-
rived 142 vessels, tonnage 27,625. Sailed 127 vessels, ton-
nage 22,186. Arrived 54.1 coasters.
From Toulon, of the 22d inst., they state a report that
within a few days several Sardinian vessels left the port of
Spezzia with troops, ammunition, and money, for Don Carlos.
The Amsterdam Courant, received this morning, gives a
letter from their Correspondent in London, which they con-
sider important. stating that if France interferes in favour of
Belgium; the German Powers will most undoubtedly drive the
Belgians out of Luxemburg by force, a step which might lead
to most important consequences.
Both the English and Foreign Markets are very heavy.

The working men of Glasgow have, come to a reso-
lution to form an Association for the MoraL, Social, and
Intellectual Improvement of the Working classes. They
refer to their opponents asserting that their ignorance is
the bar to their exercise of Legislative power, and they have
resolved, therefore, if possible, to remove that pretext.
With that view they are to have courses of lectures on
moral and political subjects, to read addresses, publish tracts,
and endeavour, by every means in their power to awaken,
enlighten, and breathe into the people the spirit of intelli-
gence and union. Such a course is prudent, and will be
approved of by the public.

DEATH OF THE DEPUTY " FINISHER OF THE
Law."—yesterday, Osman, the above functionary, who
has stopped the breath of many of his fellow-creatures on
the scaffold, breathed his last. This functionary has filled
office about eleven years, and was often heard to lament
that the merciful change in the law had diminished his
" rural income." He received a guinea a-week from New-
gate, which of late years has been a fixed salary.
HORRIBLE MURDER.--The Chelsmond Chro-
nicle of this day, reports in detail the circumstances attend-
ant on the perpetration of a deliberate act of murder com-
mitted at Mountressing last Wednesday, on the body of a
Mrs. Playle, a widow, and the keeper of the Plough beer-
shop. The perpetrator of the deed was Hilliard, a labourer,
between 40 and 50 years of age, and of loose habits, who
has professed attachment to the deceased ever since her
husband's death, which took place thirteen or fourteen
months since, and was, it is generally believed, improperly
acquainted with her whilst the husband was alive. She
has, however, of late rejected his attentions, and he has
threatened, at various times, to destroy her. On Wednes-
day he shot her. The wretch was secured by the ton of
the murdered widow. He has observed a sullen state,
and declares that he will not be hanged. The greatest
precautions are therefore taker to prevent his putting an
end to his existence,

EitSAICY OF -ps!-.lr
RE \fOLUTiON.

(Concluded from The Sun of yesterday.)
Mr. N. DEGBOWSKI—In effect, were I to circumscribe
myself here to say that Poland, since the 13th century,
sustained and reputed 91 invasions of the Tartars, who
rudted forth on Europe, pillaging and burning cities and
villages. slaughtering without distinction of sex or age, and
carrying off with them thousands of captives ; were I to
say that almost as many Turkish invasions were repelled by
the sabre of Poland ; were I to recal to your minds the
most famous of these invasions, the one which reached
to the gates of Vienna, and the most celebrated vic-
tory of our ancestors who chased those invaders away.
Were I to state that during three centuries the breasts of
the Poles have received all those strokes which Russian
despotism intended for Europe in general, you might well
reply, " We know all that, and therefore do we testify for
you so much sympathy." Were I to tell you, in fine, that
Poland, the victim of self-sacrifice, now suffers all the tor-
tures which barbarity can invent, and which the human heart
almost refuses to believe—were I to state that her territory
has been divided, her religion and her language have been
proscribed, her schools and universities destroyed or shut
up—that her inhabitants are transported by thousands, like
cattle, to Asia, and their places filled up by barbarian
hordes—were I to say that the dearest affections to the
human heart have been violated in the most brutal manner,
you might well reply, " We see that such is the case, and
therefore do we pity Poland." But were I now to exclaim,
" Assist, then Poland to reconquer her independence,"
would you not ask, " In what new manner is our assistance
required. Shall we implore our Sovereign and her Minis-
ters to intercede in their turn with the Sovereign and Mi-
nisters of the north, in order to effect the independence of
Poland ! And should their entreaties prove unavailing, is
it requisite that our Cabinet should adopt the menaces, and
even, in case of need, war itself !" Let us reply, brothers
in exile—let us reply frankly, that we do not demand di-
plematic notes, or fleets, or troops—that we ask not any
protection, for the history of every people and of every
century, can attest that protection means dependence ;
and he who wishes to have his country dependent is a Pole
only by name.—(Loud cheers.) As for us, we demand
to have an independent Poland, or no Poland at all.—(Re-
newed cheers.) A sick man, who has not sufficient strength
to raise himself, has not enough to walk by himself. If
you raise him up you must uphold him in every step he
makes. A nation similarly circumstanced, is no longer
a nation ; it may be well compared to the sick man, who
must be supported after having been lifted up. But, as-
suredly, such is not the case with Poland, which possesses
an extensive and fertile territory, and which can sustain
war during five years without fearing a famine. Poland
possesses also in her innumerable rivers, lakes, and forests,
so many safe-guards, so many fortresses, as it were, by
means of which she may advantageously dispute every step
with her enemies. The Polish nation is a people of
33,000,000, attached above all things to their indepen-
dence, and always ready for every sacrifice ; a people, in
fine, of whom every citizen becomes a good soldier when-
ever his country calls him forth. And has such a nation
need of foreign soldiers to reconquer her independence,
,vhen, by summoning to her aid only one-fiftieth man in her
population, only one young man from among ten families,
she will possess an army of 600,000 national soldiers, every
one of whom, when fighting for liberty, will vanquish two
slaves that oppose him ? Will such a nation require
foreignets to (0 ne and draw forth her sword or to thrust her
lance ? We answer a thousand times, no ; and shoulda Pole
state that such assistance is needed by Poland, reply to
him, that he knows not his own country. Poland certainly
stands more or less in need of many things, in order to
raise herself with the necessary force ; but those wants pro-
ceed by no means from natural weakness, but from her
present position. She is impoverished to the last degree ;
her invaders having ruined her agriculture and her com-
merce ; all classes of society have fallen, in comparison
with their former position, into the lowest misery ; and
this state of affairs must be necessarily unfavourable to war.
Besides, Poland is morally disarmed ; there is not even a
single manufactory of arms or ammunition in the country,
or a single arsenal ; hunting weapons are prohibited, and
even the number of scythes and hatchets which is allowed
in any village, is limited by order of the persecutors of Po-
land. There remains nought to her sons but their
hands and their courage ; but those are the prin-
cipal things. More than once have the Poles
proved that they know how to arm themselves for
the fight, with the weapons even of the enemy. And you
see before you, in the person of our General Dwernicki,
a man who never fought a battle without bringing to
us Russian cannons, sometimes by dozens, and who acquired
among us the surname of " Provider of Arms."—(Cheers.)
The fact is, that we want now a truly national Government,
a Government to understand our position, to know our
wants, and. to employ our resources.—(Cheers.) If such
he the case in a nation in the enjoyment of peace and pros-
perity, why should it not be so in Poland, which has yet every-
thing to re-conquer ? If it be the Government which is
the only thing we need to-day in order to raise ourselves
again, and in order to become again an independent and
happy nation, what have we to demand from foreign coun-
tries ? What nation could even pretend to the power of
giving Poland a better Government than we could give
ourselves ? Moreover, which is the foreign Cabinet, and
who is the foreign Minister, that could assume this strange
pretension ? It will not be thought, I trust, that these are
only my own individual opinions and sentiments which I am
now developing ; quite on the contrary, for what I have
now the honour to state here is also proclaimed by the
Polish nation. The large body of proscribed Poles ex-
press, too, the same by their acts during the eight years
they have been in exile. lam here only as the faithful
narrator of what I hear, and what all around me may
also hear. Turn your eyes towards Poland, and what see
you there? A vast field of cruelties and refined torture,
which force you at last to turn away in horror from the san-
guinary spectacle ? What do you hear there ? The cries of
children who are snatched from their mother's arms, the
shrieks of the mothers themselves, the groans of young men
who are tortured to death, the deep sighs of the old, who
are forced to behold this degradation of their country ; the
cries of despair from the poor peasant, from whom every
vestige of nationality is rudely snatched, even to his dress,
and who is converted thereby into a Russian ; the clinking
of the chains which are borne by Polish patriots, and the
clashing of the arms of the slaves who guard them—except
all this there is nought but the silence of the tomb, in-
terrupted only at intervals by the rumour of the dis-
covery of a fresh conspiracy, and of the application of
fresh tortures to the victims. Should you desire to know
what passes within the soul of this nation—within the
hearts of her people, you can only learn it by those conspi-
racies which are discovered from time to time ; for they
certainly do not prove that Poland has become habituated
to her chains ; they testify, on the contrary, that there is
in Poland a subterraneous work, as it were, a work
of reflection and preparation of which her past expe-
rience has shown the necessity. But turn your looks
there, where her intimate thoughts become more visible.
Behold those thousands of proscribed patriots, whose words
and actions are free, thanks to the laws of the country
where they live. Ask what they have been doing, what
they have been seeking, during their eight years of exile.
Numerous political associations, formed and reformed
amongst them, continual meetings,uninterrupted correspond-
ence, important discussions, addresses, manifestoes, and pub-
lic protestations, with forty journals in the Polish language,
a number of pamphlets and other publications, in other lan-
guages, established by the exiles at the sacrifice, I may say,
of all they possess, are indications more than sufficient of
the labours of the emigrants, and of the direction which
they have taken.—( Hear, hear.) It would be certainly
desirable that we had among us Poles no subject to dis-
cuss, no question to be settled, and that we had all our prin-
ciples and plans agreed on, and our men ready to put them
into execution. But if all this could he truly said,all this truly
done, there would not be a single Pole in this room! The
refugees would have re-visited before this time the plains
of their native land ; and this anniversary of our revolu-
tion would be celebrated, not with speeches, but with a
roar of cannon. Let it not be supposed, however, that
there is nothing decided on by the Polish exiles ; on the
contrary, we are well convinced, and that unanimously,
with only a few exceptions, that to wish to shake off foreign
yoke and to reconquer the independence of the country by
maintaining the unjust dependence of one class of citizens
on the other—by upholding the servitude, ignorance, and
misery of the people alongside the opulence and privileges
of the Grandees, is not to wish for the good of one's
country, but for one's own good, and is not to be a Pole,
but a miserable egotist. It is to be a despicable politician
to wish to separate the interests of the vast majority from
the common interests of the nation.—(Great applause.)
We are also well convinced, and here in particular I beg to
invite the attention of this meeting, we are well convinced,
and unanimously so, that a party, that a body of
men who have during their whole lives, and even at the
time of oor last revolution, and also in exile, obstinately
deceived and injured their country by their selfishness, aris-
tocratic principles, and love of exclusive privileges—that a

we will entrust the task of resuscitating our country, and
of gathering us to its defence ; never shall Poland trust
such a man as the Prince Czartoryski, formerly Prime Mi-
nister and friend of the Emperor Alexander ; for this is
the same Czartoryski who, in 1812, when the national ar-
mies with the French were marching towards Moscow, con-
spired with the Cabinet of St. Pctersburgh, and paralyzed
in Lithuania the insurrection in favour of Poland ; this is
the man who, in 1815, collected signatures among his fel-
low Aristocrats in order to detnand the incorporation of
Poland with Russia, and came with those signatures to the

of Vienne, for the purpose of opposing the effort,
of Lord Castle] eag4, who demanded the independence n'
Poland. This Czartoryski is the man who, in 1825,
when the Russians broke out into rebellion in St.
Petersburgh, prevented" by his influence the insurrection
from bursting out in Poland ; who, in 1830, when
the revolution took place in Warsaw, signed a proclama-
tion against it in the name of the Emperor, and :denomi-
nated it " a fatal event ;" who afterwards undertook to
direct when he could not Crush it, but who paralysed and
destroyed it, as he has himself confessed in a letter to the
French Ministry, which letter, afterwards cited in the
Chamber of Deputies, is well known to all the Polish emi-
grants. This Czartoryski is the man who, in fine, does all
in his power to disperse and annihilate the Polish exiles,
whose principles "and patriotism he detests.--(Great ap-
plause and slight hissing.) Neither should any confidence
be given to this Czartoryski's nephew, the Count Zamoyski,
the aide-de-camp and confidant of that executioner of Po-
land, the Grand Duke Constantine ; for this Zamoyski,
when the revolution broke out in Warsaw, exposed his life,
not in aiding it, but in attempting to crush it, running dar-
ing the whole night either to the Graad Duke, who was
encamped with his troops outside the city, or to the Coun-
cil of Ministers within it, inventing always new expedients,
encouraging the authorities, disarming the people, dis-
tributing the Proclarnatioes of the Emperor's Minis.
ters, and playing, under thee circumstances, the part
of the most zealous supporter of tyranny. Neither
shall the confidence of Poland be given to this Czar-
toryski's friend, the Russian Colonel Chrzanowski, who,
on the approach of the enemy under the walls of Warsaw,
prohibited the inhabitants, under pain of death, to run
to arms, paralyzed the defence, surrendered the capital in
conjunction with the traitor Krukowieki, received the
enemies with open arms, tore off his epaulettes of General
,vith which the revolution had honoured him, and put on
his former uniform of a Russian Colonel—this is the man
who three years afterwards came to Paris with a Russian
passport in order to join the Prince Czartoryski, and to be
presented by him in the quality of a Polish exile to the
English Government, which sent him with a political mis-
sion to Constantinople and Persia, where he is serving now,
Heaven knows what cause.—(Hear.) No, none of these
men, and none of their vile supporters, shall obtain the con-
fidence of Poland, or receive from her the mission of pre-
siding over her deliverance. I have directed your particular
;Attention to this point, because in it there is an important
piece of information for our foreign friends, who may possibly
be deceived by appearances, and mistake the marks of past
confidence for those of future confidence. We agree on
principles ; it only remains for us, therefore, to make
choice of the men who may represent us the best, and
to separate the good from the bad—that is to say, those
men who have democracy and the love of the people only
on their lips from those who have both really in their hearts.
We are not far, believe me, from that happy moment
wherein we can make this choice of our men, and confirm
by our acts the principles which we proclaim to-day.—
( Hear, hear.) We have thus announced what we are,
and in what way we regard our cause ; and it is only after
having developed them here that I can now refer to an ac-
cusation which was made against us even in this room two
years ago, but which is present to our memory as if it were
made just now, precisely because it was uttered by an
English Radical. We were then briefly told that we were
all aristocrats, and wished to maintain slavery among the
Polish people as well as the privileges of the nobles. Let
us, then, say frankly that there have been, to our misfor-
tune, and are still, aristocrats in Poland, who have always
held the helm of affairs, and that there exists among the
people, if not in name, at all events in reality, an oppres-
sive state of servitude, and that it is precisely for
this reason Poland is to-day in its tomb, and we
are in exile.--(Cries of "Hear, hear.") Let us state,
tea), frankly that it was not Russia, Prussia, and Austria
which killed Poland, but that it was the Polish aristocracy,
who leagued themselves with these three Courts ; let us
avow also that the aristocracy is the greatest obstacle to
the emancipation of our country, and that it will be more
difficult to check the intrigues and cabals of the Polish
aristocrats than to conquer the Muscovite troops.—(Hear.)
But shall it therefore be said that every Pole is an aristo-
crat, and consequently that there is not one just, one honest
man in Poland ?. No, the Aristocrats, though they held
the direction of affairs, were in Poland, as they are in
every other country, only a small minority of the nation.
And if, unfortunately, it is true that there is some aristo-
crats among us in exile, they form also a very small mino-
rity—a minority, in fact, so imperceptible, that nut of 300
Polish exiles now in this room, not one, probably, is a par-
tisan of that aristocratic clique which sacrificed our last
revolution to the interests of their caste.--( Applause.)
We desire to have not. only national freedom, hut freedom
for all ; not only liberty, but, also equality ; we de-
sire, too, in Poland, that which appears to be dis-
pensed with in other countries—( Hear)—namely, the
agrarian law, the division of the land of the grandees
among the peasantry who have tilled it for centuries with-
' out any recompense.—( Hear, hear.) We are democrats,
and we are republicans ; not by name only—not for some
external forms of social organization, for some insufficient
ameliorations, but in the vast and complete acceptation of
the word.—( Applause.) And we are democrats and repub-
licans only through long and conscientious reflection, through
a love of justice, and even through a conviction based on
the history of our past falls, that it is only a republic with
its benefits that can arouse all the Polish people to arms,
and restore to us our independence.
M. Degbowski was loudly cheered for some time after he
resumed his seat.
Mr. SHERIDAN moved the following resolution :—" That
on this, the eighth anniversary of the Polish revolution of
the 29th of November, 1830, experience of the past and ap
prehension of the future impel this meeting to declare, not
alone it's vivid sense of the wrongs which provoked, the chi-
valry that adorned, and the brilliant hopes of national happi-
n-ss and popular freedom that were blighted by the issue
of that righteous and hallowed struggle, but also its so-
lemn and deliberate conviction that the spirit of savage
cruelty towards Poland, of aggression upon the rights and
possessions of other countries, and of general hostility to
tha promulgation of liberal principles, since manifested by
the Court of St. Petersburgh, has necessarily and intimately
identified the Polish cause with the cause of universal jus-
tice, freedom, and civilization ; and that the entire re-esta-
b:ishment of ancient Poland, as an integral and free nation,
is essentially necessary to the preservation and development
of the arts and liberties, peace and happiness of Europe,
including the Muscovite people themselves, the now en-
slaved and infatuated instruments of the guilt and ambition
of their rulers."

Mr. G. A. YOUNG—My Lord, Ladies, and Gentlemen
—There is no man, however high his station—however
gifted with talent—however endowed with those attributes
which enable a man to excel his fellow-men, who would not
add lustre to that station, who would not increase the
general estimation in which he is held, by being called
upon, at such a meeting as the present, to advocate the
cause of Poland. Conscious that I possess none of these
advantages, I feel that I have been requested by the Po-
lish Committee to second this motion, rather because they
know that, in conjunction with Lord Stuart and other
friends whom I see around me, I have for some years
laboured sincerely and zealously in that cause, than
on account of any ability I possess to do it justice. But
if any circumstance could reconcile me to the position in
which I find myself, it is the fact that I concur with
your Noble Chairman in the necessity of treating this
subject as a great national question ; I deplore the intro-
duction of mere party and sectarian views and opinions.
I am bound, however, as an English Liberal to state, tha
I believe the cause of Poland to be intimately associated
with the progress of liberty and social advancement in
Europe, and after the observations we have heard on
what is termed the Polish " aristocracy," I also feel bound
to state the grounds on which that belief rests, for the terms
" aristocracy" and " nobles," as we understand them in
England, are totally different from the sense in which alone
these words can be correctly used in Poland. The power
and the privileges of the English aristocracy rcst on
two or three well known and intelligible principles.
Strip them of the right of primogeniture, abolish
hereditary titles, and deprive them of the right of entailing
their property, and a generation would scarcely pass away
without witnessing the destruction of our aristocracy. Did
the Polish " nobility" enjoy these privileges ? I quote their
own historians and jurists as my authority, when I tell you
(and if I am in error some Polish gentleman will, 1 trust,
correct me) that primogeniture was unknown—that here-
ditary titles were unknown—that by the law of Poland pro-
perty that descended was equally divided. Nay, more ;it
is an historical fact, that in the sixteenth century these
nobles amounted to one million—that the feudal insti-
tutions of Western Europe never obtained a footing
amongst the Slavonic populations—that the words " no-
bilis" and " miles" were synonymous, while many of
them cultivated the soil with their own hands. With
what propriety then can the English word " aristocracy"
be used to describe this class ? The defects of the
Polish Constitution were numerous, but the misfortunes of
that country may be ascribed with much more truth to the
fatal privilege of the liberum veto, in the Diet, and to the
election of their kings, than to the privileges of their " no-
bility," who bore a much stronger resemblance to the elec-
tors of our constituencies than to our aristocracy. Is it
true, moreover, that the Poles made no efforts to abolish
serfage?ou
