LEFT SITTING.

A considerable number of persons had collected in the
lobbies of the House, for the purpose of witnessing the ar-
rival of Mr. Hunt to take his seat. When the Hon.
Member made his appearance, be was received with three
rounds of cheering. The crowd, however, was not nearly
so great as had bee❑ anticipated.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

FRENCH PAPERS.

(From the )dessager des Chambres, Tuesday, Feb. 1.)
PAars, JAN. 31.—Notwithstanding the last very sus-
picious and conflicting accounts given by the German
Journals which are under the censorship, there is every
reason to hope that the Russian troops will not violate the
Polish territory.
Polish gentlemen, sent by the Diet to the Courts of
France, England, and Vienna, have been allowed, though

without any official character, to lay before the Ministers

of those three Courts their grievances and complaints,
founded on the false interpretation and the non-execution

of the acts of the Congress of Vienna relative to Poland,
as well as of the Constitution of the kingdom, decreed by
the Emperor Alexander.
The Memorials which those Envoys presented, to sup-
port a request of intercession, were examined with in-
terest by the three Powers. Austria, in particular, seems
to have manifested much good-will towards the Polish
nation. This may be accounted for by considerations and
interests, which we cannot at this moment detail.

Notes have been addressed to the Emperor Nicholas, fur
the purpose of inducing him to suspend all military mea-
sures against Poland.
The Russian troops have marched to Lithuania, to keep
that province in awe, and hinder the insurrection from
passing the frontiers.
The attitude of the Russians is precisely the same as
that of the Austrians and Prussians in Gallicia and Posen.
All will remai❑ in this state during the negociations, which
were opened between the Russian Cabinet, on the one pert,
and the three Powers, as well as the Poles, on the other.
The family alliance between the Court of Prussia and
that of Russia is the reason hitherto allege,' by Prussia for
not joining the interceding Powers. But it is thought
that Prussia will be induced to take part in the negocia-
tions, from the consideration, that if the insurgents are
driven to despair, the result may be, that each of the three
Powers that made the partition may lose its Polish pro-
vinces, and the ancient kingdom be restored to its former
extent.

The Emperor Nicholas, on his part, is said to be pas-
sionately fond of glory, and anxious to give to Europe,
which has its eyes on him, proofs of his humanity and

justice.

TOULON, JAN. 25.—[Correspondence of the Messa-
ger.]—The Rhinoceros transport arrived yesterday from
Navarin, whence it has brought a b.ittalion of the 57th
Regiment, which it has landed at the hzaretto of Mar-
seilles. An order of the Minister of Marine has just di-
recte(t the discharge of all seamen who have served three

successive years in the Navy.
This measure is a formal refutation of all the reports of
war which have been circulated here from time to time, to
cool the zeal of the young men who formed part of those
drawn to serve this year, who are alarmed by having it
suggested to them, that they are going to be brought
against the enemy eve❑ before they hare learnt how to use
their arms.

The news of the formation of camps of reserve in several
parts of France is at least premature. No such thing is in
contemplation here.

(From the Constitutionne/.)

PARIS, JAN. 31.—1 t is generally believed in Paris that
the Duke of Netnours has been elected King of Belgium.
The news created the most agreeable sensation, and several
streets were illuminated. Private letters from Brussels say
that the Duke will most probably have a majority—that a
Republican insurrection has broken out at the Hague—
and that William of Nassau had taken refuge in the
hotel of the English Ambassador, and claimed his pro_
tection.

The discussion of the Municipal Law has commenced ;
and let us immediately also discuss the Law of Elections,
for without that the Charter is incomplete, and the Go-
vernment cannot use its authority to dissolve the Chamber
and appeal to the country. Let it not be delayed, for the
nation suspects some hidden motives as the cause of thy
dilatory proceedings.
Let us have a firm and energetic policy ; let us make
ourselves respected abroad. It is necessary that the
country should be sufficiently glorious, for glory is the
natural aliment of a great people, particularly of France.
Let us then accept with courage all the responsibilities of
our moral influence ; let us not be the Quixotes of liberty,
as was said at the Tribune, but the liberators, strong in
our own moderation, and in the sympathy of other na-
tions. Let us speak to the abused Sovereigns, and save
Belgium from anarchy. We have proved sufficiently that
it is not ambition, but necessity, which decides the re-
union. We fear abasement, but not war, for our country
produces warriors. Have we not seen, too, trade and in-
dustry follow in the train of arms ? Unhappy Poland,
which opens her arms to us, and shows us the wounds
she has received for us—let her not die stifled by her own
blood and that of her oppressors ; let the country of the
generous Poniatowski not fall without succour ; let not a
Cossack plant his lance there, saying, " This is toy land."
Let not the brave Poles be again subdued to the bruta-
lizing despotism of the Cesarowitsch ; let us employ rea-
sonable threats to deter the Autocrat, for if he enters as a
conqueror of Warsaw, his first care will be to rivet the
chains of Poland—the second, to have the chart of France
unrolled before him.

The disposition of Prussia and Austria is, no doubt,
somewhat friendly, since the Minister did not think it ne-
cessary to speak of it ; and as to Russia, frank and posh:.

tive declurations were sent to Paris before the events of
Poland. On all sides, then, France receives assurances
of friendship.
The Central Committee, in favour of the Poles, has
published an address to the French people, reminding
them of the long unio❑ and great friendship which has
existed between the Poles and them, and calling on them

to subscribe to assist their distressed friends. General
Lafayette is at the head of the Commitied. Count de
Lasteyrie and M. Eusehe Salverte are Vice-Presidents ;
and the Members consist of sonic of the most distinguished
political characters of France—such as Mauguin, Victor
de Tracy, Casimir Delavigne, Dupont (de l'Eure),
lan Barrot, M. de Schonen. &e.
