The miners in the neighbourhood of St.
Blazey have lately been forming combinitions for the pur-
pose of superseding, in a great me inure, the authority sr
the agents, and the regulations of the miners. Early on
Tuesday morning last, a great number of men collected at
Fowey Consols and Lanescot mines, and attempted to seite
two individuals who had refused to enter into any combi-
nation, and who, from threats of summary punishnieut
being inflicted on them, had been compelled to take refuge
in the counting-house of those mines. The agents, after
waiting a considerable time for the dispersion of this as-
semblage, were obliged to appeal to the Magistrates, who
promptly repaired to tie spot, and after entreating the
men without effect to disperse, stated to them that the
riot act would be read unless they separated in a quar-
ter of an hour, and pointed ont to them the conse-
quences if they should fail to do so within one hour after
the reading of the Act. On the expiration of the quarter
of an hour the crowd not dispersing, the Act was read to
them, but without effect. On the expiration of the hour
the Magistrates present, J. T. Ausitx, N. KINDALL,
and ii. Tnostsos, Esqrs. ordered the constables to take
seven of the rioters into custody. On their being put
into chaises for conveyance to prison, a violent attempt to
rescue them was made by several hundred parsons present;
but by the temperate and firm conduct of the civil power,
after a conflict of more than an hour, the prisoners were
taken on to Bodmin prison. In eonsquenee of the ar-
rest of the indiviiinale above stated, and their being lodged
in the county gaol, the miners in the neighbourhood of
St. Austell showed strong symptoms of a determination
to attempt to liberate their comrades. Kr this purpose
they assembled on Wednesday in great numbers, mud re-
ports were circulated that they intended to proceed to
Bodmin to make an effort to accomplish their object. As
a matter of precaution, the High Sheriff and the neigh-
bouring Magistrates repaired to that place early in the
day, and swore in between SO and 40 special coustables.
The Staff of the Royal Cornwall Militia were also called
out, and o ere placed on duty in and round the prison.
Last evening intelligence was received that a bode of
miners was approaching Bodmin, and preparations were
immediately made to receive them ; the Militia Staff were
got under arms at the gaol and the special constables assem-
bled ; the inhabitants barricadoed their doors, and all was
expectation. About six o'clock, a motley crowd, mostly
composed of women and children, entered the town, and
on the advice of some of the town's people, they sent
a deputation, consisting of six or seven persons, to the
high Sheriff, at the gaol, to explain their object. The
High Sheriff, J. H. TREMAYNK, Esq. received these
poor people mildly but firmly, reasoned with them on
the consequences of their conduct, and sent them back to
their comrades. Oa their return they were accompanied
by some gentlemen, who kindly reasoned with the mob,
and at length induced them to depart. Ep to a Lite hour
este. day no further intelligence had reached es fr,wra.
Bodnain. As a measure of additionale are
tiretcoalueta";en lio
Lusa

for liodmin to-day. In consequenceiil of these proceedings
the Sheriff has mot to the depot at Militia
Davenport for a de
tachatent of 260 men. Coentaftan,

BRUSSELS PAPERS.

RECEIVED THIS MORNING.

Sr. PETERSBUAGIi, Fan. 9.—The Journal of this
city a ontains the following Manifesto :
" Nicholas 1., by the Grace of God, Emperor and

Autocrat of All the Russian, &v. &c. &v.

" Our Manifesto of 12th (24th) December last has
acquainted our faithful subjects with the revolt which has
broken out in the kingdom of Poland. Though inspired
with just displeasure towards the rebels, we immediately
prepared to check and to punish them. We had flattered
ourselves with the hope of saving the victims of infatuation
and seduction. We desire, by the language of truth,
and by new proofs of forbearance, to bring them back to
their du.ies ; we encouraged the well-disposed citizens,
whom fear had dispersed at the commencement of the in-
surrection, and offered them the possibility of impeding
its progress, and of showing to the world, by a- happy ep..
position, that the whole Polish nation did not deserve
the name of traitors. We are even now convinced that that
unfortunate nation is the victim of some wretches.

--;"i3U;tliese perjured traitors continue the course
of their crimes,---they forge arms against Russia; in
their madness, they excite our faithful subjects to trea-
son, and lastly, on the 13th of this month, in the midst
of an illegal and rebellious Diet, in which they assume to
be the representatives of their country, they have dared to
proclaim that our don-union, and that of our family, had
ceased in Poland, and that the throne restored by the
Emperor Nicholas (this must certainly be Alexander) was
vacant and expected a new monarch. This insolent dis-
regard of all rights and of their oaths, this perseverance
in the most culpable sentiments, have filled up the measure
of their crimes. 'The moment is come to punish with
rigour those infamous wretches. We have invoked the
supreme Judge of actions. and thoughts, and we have
confided to our faithful armies the care of subduing the
rebds.

" Russians,—ln this solemn hour, when with the
affliction of a father, but also with the firm calmness of a
Prince who fulfils his sacred duty, we draw the sword
for the honour and the inviolability of our empire, join
your fervent prayers to ours before the altar of the just God
of him who knows all things. May he bless our arms for
the good of our adversaries themselves; may he enable us
speedily to overawe those who oppose the great work of
the pacification of a people who has confided its rights to
us; and as soon as the power lately taken from Russia
by the rebels shall have been restored to it, may he aid
us in fixing it for the future upon solid ban*, adapted to
the wants and the welfare of the whole kingdom, and
capable of putting an end for ever to the attacks of the ma-
levolent, who dream of a separation.

" Faithful subjects, this is worthy of your efforts. You
are accustomed not to spare them for us and the country.
" Given at St. Pttershurgh, 25th January (6th Fe-
bruary), 1831.

(Signed)

" NICHOLAS."

We have learned that the proclamations of Field-Mar-
shal Diebitsch have been circulated in the whole kingdom
of Poland. It is added that on the frontier, where they
Lave been publicly read, they have in fact contributed to
tranquilize the inhabitants.

WARSAW, FEE. 15.—The Stole Gazette (of War-
saw) publishes under the head of official news, the fol-
lowing report from the theatre of war :
" On the llth in'tant, General Zymirski, in canto.
cu noe of orders which he had received, quitted his po-
sition near Kiew, in order to reconnoitre the strength and
the position of the enemy. With a column composed of
the infantry of General Rohland, of some squadrons of
cavalry, and half a brigade of artillery, the General pro-
cei ded towards the little town of Nier, situated beyond
the Bug, passing through Mengrow, (probably Wengrow)
After having pas.eed through the latter town, and sent
troles in all directions, he proceeded two miles farther ;
however, the scouts that were out to look fir the enemy
could not fitsd any trace of him. It was in the
environs of Wrotnow that they first percei%ed some
of the enemy's dragoons, who, at the appearance of
our hulans, retired. Our vanguard first discovered two of
the enemy's squadrons beyond Wrotnow. A small detach-
ment fired a few shots, and then joined the retrograding
squadron. Lastly, near a second village, beyond Wrotnow,
a division of hulans was seen, with a brigade of flying ar-
till ry. The movements of the enemy, who retires every
vehere, convinces General Zymirski that he is not inclined
to enter into an engagement ; and as the General, with
his column, could not go too far from the bead-quarters,
be resolved to return to them slowly, hoping by that re-
trograde movement to induee the enemy to follow him,
and then to bring on an action ; but the expectation of the
General was not realised."

The Courier of Warsaw says :—" The inhabitants
of the capital expect with impatience positive informa-
tion from the theatre of war, especially because travellers
arriving from the Bug and the Narew say that they
hul heard a heavy cannonade. However, the end of
the last week has passed over quietly : our troops
often change their position, and the enemy retires. The
news of our action near Jadow is not confirmed. The
day before yesterday the Cossacks again approached tie
town of Siedlic, but immediately retired. It is in that
town that our Cracovitea are stationed. On the other
hand the Gazette of TVarsaw states, that yesterday even-
ing late news arrived of a battle between the Polish and
Russian armies on the Lewice, in which the first Polish
regiment is said to have decided the success of the en-
gagement. It is stated that they fought with the bayonet,
and that four pieces of cannon were taken. According
to other accounts the bridge over the river was so covered
with dead bodies, that the Polish soldiers on returning to
their camp could hardly pass it. The same journal adds,
however, that we mutt wait for the official confirmation of
this report."
M. Giodewski, Commissioner of the Government; who
was said to have been taken prisoner by the Cessacks
during his journey in the province of AugustoWO, is
reported by the TVarsaw Gazette to have arrived in this
city the day before yesterday, and to have set out again
the same day for the head quarters of the Commander in
Chief.

General Sierawski, who commanded at Zamore, and
who has been succeeded by Colonel Kypinski, has suc-
ceeded in passing the Russian lines, and arrived the day
before yesterday at Warsaw, where he reviewed the Na-
tional Guard.

The Russian prisoners, who from the 29th November
till now were detained at Warsaw, have been removed to
Weldon and Czenstochau. The Generals alone remain in
the capital.
