PROCLAMATION TO THE POLES.

" Fellow-countrymen,--In the contest which must
eventually decide between the existence of Poland or her
-ntire destruction, the nation trusts to the heroism and de-
votion of the army. The army has justified this confidence,
and has exceeded the expectation of the people anxious for
the result of our exertions. From that moment the glory
of Poland, which for a time had been humiliated, and even
forgotten, having attained a vigour not to be produced by
ages, has made itself known beyond the bounds of Europe.
The enemy, irritated, has summoned forth all his energy,
end become even more barbarous. We have been
signally successful against him, but we must aim at
his entire destruction. It is to ensure this that we
must make yet further efforts. It is for this the National
Government invokes the Most High, who will
never cease to protect us, so long as we struggle to
defend our spotless country. We invoke our na-
tional liberty, which now stands on a point from which it
may be plunged into eternity or destruction. We ieveke
all the kings and heroes who have ever perished for faith,
loyalty, or the welfare of mankind. We invoke the safety
ef Europe, the future race, and eternal justice; and,
strong in the example of our illustrious ancestors, we pro-
elaim the levy en masse of the nation, (pus polite russenie)
that this appeal may be heard in the remotest points of our
beloved country, so that the inhabitants of the small por-
tion called the kingdom of Poland may be animated by the
-ame sacred flame which burns so brilliantly in Samo-
gitia, Lithuania, and Volhynia, the situation of which
was infinitely mere embarrassing. They have revived the
deeds of our fathers : let us not allow them to excel in this
honourable rivalry.
" Ministers of Religion !—Oar struggle is for our
country, for our faith, and for virtue. It is the struggle
of children for their lathe's, and of fathers for their
children. Invoke God, that He may inspire you with his
Holy Spirit, the spirit of the primitive Christians, and
with that spirit strengthen year in the sanctuaries, in the
burying places, and on the field of battle. Do not abandon
your flocks, encamp with them in the fields and the forest's;
suffer with them, and, by your sufferings and your exhor-
tation., strengthen them.
" Fellow-countrymen,—Our enemy has avowed our
annihilation, but he cannot attain it but by your indif-
ference. Strengthen the ranks of nor army with your
sons and your brothers, revenge those. who have fallen, and
let eve' y hillock, every tree, and every highway, every foot-
path, contain for that enemy vengeance. Perish those
hordes that only Reek pillage or murder, and let them not
find sleep in that country which these barbarians have sul-
lied for halt a century with their crimes and our blood.
villagers,—The martyrdom of your brothers, the
Holy Faith, and Holy Poland, call upon you at once ; it
is time to put an end to this sanguinary war. The in-
vading army has ruined your crops, has destroyed your
pasturage, has consumed your herbs, has poisoned your
habitations with unheard of pestilnce, destroyed houses
by fire and families by assassination. The survivors have
nothing better to expect from him. On your fields, your
grain, cultivated by the sweat of your brow, lies rotten.
The crop is at hand ; then the enemy, who can never be
less thirsting for your blood, will throw himself upon you
to complete the catalogue of his victims. Will you await
tliet they should dishonour your wives and your mothers,
that they should exterminate your children? No; you
will be more prompt than he will be. Whenever the
fields do not need your labour, arm yourselves with every
thing within your reach ; throw yourselves on the enemy.
His ranks are already thinned, and your courage will pre-
cipitate his flight. Before beginning your harvest you
will place it out of the sight of the enemy. A just God
will aid you in expelling the intruders, and will cause the
blessings of peace to descend upon yon, and liberated
Poland awaits with frankness to bestow those rewards
that you so highly merit.
" Chiefs of every rank, destined to command the levy
en mass', be impressed with all the sanctity of your high
calling. Here awaits you the recompense worthy of a
loyal and patriotic heart. After the example of our fore-
fathers, your occupation should be to join military heroism
with civil energy. This is what civilized Europe expects,
being convinced that, in her actual situation, every soldier
should be a citizen and every citizen a soldier. It is the
force of great national calamities that an intimate union of
all classes is required, for there is no class before death,
before God, and before country.
" Poles,--At this holy call of a levy en moose, invoke,
after the custom of your ancestors, the all-powerful name
of God. It is He who has covered with imperishable
glory our heroic chivalry under the Piests and the Ja-
gillons. Think of what will happen if we were now to
yield. Shall those hopes be destroyed which the third
generation has cherished in their hearts, which will be-
come the glory of Poland ? Revived with so many
charms, and so much blood lately spilt, consult on the
means which locality, the wants, and the national genius
present. Let the whole country become one camp—let all
the energy of force and all the dexterity of intellect be
combined to distress the ens my. The greatest activity
and the most discerning circumspection must guide your
actions—the euile of tfie serpent, and the desperation of
the lioness. Such are the characteristics of your calling
—a brotherly feeling in the most extensive sense. One
for all—all for one. To arms, Pcles ! To arms

CHOLERA MORBUS.

(Prom the Hamburg Reporter.)

_ .
We have been assured that in Archangel, according to
the last accounts, nearly 400 individuals had died of this
fearful malady.
A Supplement to the St. Petersburgh Gazette, con-
tains an account of the police regulations adopted in that
capital to prevent the further extension of the cholera.
These regulations have not been communicated by the
Prussian State Gazette, which appears desirous of sup-
pressing, as much as possible, all account of the malady
having reached St. Petersburgh. Would to God our con-
temporary could suppress the malady itself !-- The following
official bulletin ham been published at St. Petersburgh
JULY 2.—From the introduction of the cholera here till
the 30th June, twenty-nine persons were taken ill, of whom
fourteen died. On the Ist inst. there were fifteen fresh
cases, one person recovered, and ten died.
In Damzic the mortality seems to have been propor-
tionably greater in private houses than in the hospitals.—
Of 633 individuals attacked down to the 7th inst., 466
had died, and 110 recovered. This great mortality is
attributed partly to the reluctance shown by individuals
to acknowledge that the infection has found its way into
their house., the immediate consequence of such con-
fession being that their houses are shut up, and they them-
selves confined, fur a certain number of days, to the in.

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 19, 1831.

It is with satisfaction that we are able to
announce the existence of a Treaty between
Great Britain and France, whereby the two
Governments have bound themselves to an inter-
cession with Russia in favour of the Poles.—
The Treaty was concluded about a month since,
and although its stipulations are of course, for
the most part, of a secret nature, we understand
the general tendency to be to oblige each Power
to remonstrate separately in the first instance in
the most friendly manner with the Autocrat, and
in case success should not attend such friendly
representations, to bind them to a joint inter-
vention of so effective a kind as may put a stop
to the war of destruction, and preserve the lives
and liberties of the Poles from the wrath of the
EMPEROR. Negotiations are now actually iu
progress, the result of which it is impossible to
anticipate with any confidence, but upon whose
success the peace of Europe is unquestionably
dependent.

The pkiclamation to the Poles, summoning
all classes to arms, and signed by that illustrious
and enlightened statesman and patriot Prince
ADAM CZARTORISKI, is one of the nobleSt
and most heart-stirring appeals we ever read. It
is enough to rouse the dead. On the heroes to
whom it is addressed—for almost every third
Mil throughout Poland has proved himself a
hero in the most exalted sense of the term—it
will, no doubt, produce an electrical effect•
It is penned in a stern, solemn vein of deter-
mination, and contrasts forcibly, both in style and
spirit, with the coarse, bullying, blood-thirsty
manifestoes of the Russian CZAR. " \%e in-
voke the safety of Europe, the future race, and
eternal justice," says the Polish proclamation,
and this lofty appeal shall not be made in vain.
Universal Europe is fast awaking to a sense of
her duty towards the noblest band of patriots
that ever adorned and dignified . the human
race ; and eternal justice is preparing her
chastisement for their oppressor. Poland must
be free. She must obtain not a hit-by-bit,
but a full and perfect, liberty. Otherwise there
will never be peace in Europe. Prussia may
remonstrate—Austria may intrigue and coquette,
and ask time for deliberation and all that—
Russia may storm and threaten, and despatch army
after army to the aceidarna, or field of blood,
but in spite of the persuasions and bribes And
menaces of each or all of these Powers, Poland
must be regenerated—must be put in possession
of all her ancient provinces. This is the only
way to prevent that impending war of opinion
which bids fair, ere long, to desolate all Europe.
The complicated question of Belgium being now
happily decided, there remains no further obstacle
to the interference of France and England in
behalf of Poland. May it be as prompt as we
are sure it will be successful !

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY brought
forward last night in the Upper House his Bill
for the composition of tithes, by which his
Grace proposes to extend to a very considerable
degree the powers of making composition for
tithes, and which he defended as a measure In-
dubitably more safe and practicable than any
Commutation Bill could be. The LORD CHAN-
CELLOR was of the same opinion, and, conse-
quently gave his support to the Bill, in preference
to the one introduced by Lord DAcitE for the
commutation of tithes, which latter, after some
observations from Lords ELDQN andWyNFORD)
was withdrawn.

In the Lower House, Mr. HoniiousE sug-
gested, that as the Reform Bill was likely to linger
for some time in the Commons, before it made
its appearance in the Lords, Hon. Members
should meet in the day-time, as was done by the
Upper House, during the memorable period of
the QUEEN'S trial, for the purpose of expediting
the progress of the Bill through Committee.
This suggestion is very feasible, and as such it
was viewed by Lord A LTIIORP, who said that the
subject had already engaged the consideration of
Government ; but as yet he did not feel it re-
quisite to submit any proposition to the House.
Mr. WELLESLEY'S committal to the Fleet was
then introduced by the Speaker, and after a
brief discussion • it was resolved to take the
sense of a Committee of Privileges, as to
whether Mr. WELLESLEY was or was not
protected by being a Member. In reply to
some observations by Mr. BRISCOE respecting
the approaching Coronation, Lord ALTHORP

said that the ceremony would be conducted with
the strictest regard to economy. His Lordship
then formally announced that Prince LEOPOLD
'lad resolved to resign his pension, with the pro-
viso that he should be allowed to continue the
:)ossession of Claremont, and the payment o'
)übscriptions to various public charities com-
menced by the Princess CHARLOTTE and him-
self. This laudable and generous conduct was
received, as it should be, by the House, with
!otid cheers.

Our readers will find in another part of The
Sun some account of the progress of the King
of BELGIUM, who, we are glad to perceive, is
received by his new subjects with enthusiasm,

The following are extracts from the Allgemeine
Zeitung to the 13th inst., received this morning :--

VIENNA, JULY 7.—A French courier has set out for
Paris, who is believed to be the bearer of a repot t of the
progress of the negociat;ons respecting Italy. The resolu-
tion of the King of Holland, with regard to the acceptance
'f the proposals of the London conference, is looked for
with great impatience. Our funds have again declined,
because letters from Frankfort express doubts of the
happy termination of the affrirs of Belgium. Our fears
have a little abated since we are more particularly ac-
quainted with the judicious measures adopted by the Govern-
ment to arrest the progress of the disorder; and all the ac-
counts from Hungary represent the disorder to be
much less violent in its character, and quite altered
since it has come to the fertile wine districts of Hungary.
It is said that all the persons hitherto attacked by it have
recovered—a striking proof that wholesome and nnu•
rishiog food such as is every where to be found in Hun-
gary, except in quite unfruitful years, increases the powers
of the const;tution to resist the disorder, and diminish the
influence of the air on its malignity, for it is well known
that the lower parts of this country, which are exposed to
inundations, are very unhealthy, in particular for stran-
gers, and frequently produce tedious fevers.
The troubles in Podolia are said to he partly allayed, but
in the government of Kiew there is still great fermenta-
tion, though the insurgents sustained partial defeats on
the 3d of June at Owrutach, and on the 12th of June
at Nolie.

(From the Courrier de Sro.yrne.)
SMYRNA, Max 28.—Some cases of plague have oc-
curred during this week in different quarters of the city.
At the beginning the number was greatly exaggerated.
The official reports since the appearance of the disorder
mention only six or seven persons. The disorder was
brought to this city by shepherds from Caramania, who
Caine with their flocks to the sheep market of the Kurhan
Bairan. Some of the Consuls have shut their doors,
and fear of contagion has diminished the crowd in
the streets. The season, however, arrests the pro-
pagation of the disorder, and it is pretty certain
that we shall soon be free from all apprehensions.
However the authorities cannot take too many precautions
that the disease may remain dormant till the autumn,
when the first rains will give it new intensity. The
measures hitherto adopted by Tahir Bey, Governor of
Smyrna, deserve all praise, and show real attention to the
public welfare.
The same Journal says, the Sultan has employed Signor
Giovanni Cuanas, a Neapolitan painter to his Royal
Highness the Grand Duke of Tusc my, to paint the por-
traits of himself and his sons, and his Private Secretary.
The Sultan, highly pleased with the performance of the
artist, whose works show great talent, has appointed him
his Court painter, and presented him with a very hand-
some snuff-b,a, richly ornamented with brilliants."

The Jamaica Packet has arrived, with dates
to the 7th of June inclusive. The port of St.
Jago de Cuba, it appears, had ceased to be a
bonding port for American produce, conse-
quently no flour or bread stuff from the United
State can be imported there, and subsequently
transhipped to the Islands. Havannah is now
the only bonding port in Cuba. These Papers

" TO HIS BRITANNIC MA MITT'S CONSUL.

Sta,—l have the honour to apprise you that the Junta
de Hacienla of this DupartmPnt having met on the 18th
inst. to treat among other thine, on maintaining or an-
nulling the decree which General J. D'Espinas issued on
23,1 October of last year, relative to the prohibition of the
commerce with the coasts of Darien awl Mosquito shore,
did agree, after a prolonged discussion, that this arrange-
ment should be considered null and of no effect, and that
in future the commerce with the said coasts should con-
tinue under the same regulations as formerly, and accord-
ing to the decree of the Supreme Government, under date
the 9th of November, 1824, which I communicate to
you for your satisfaction and purposes expedient.

ship and profound respect with which I have the honour
to subscribe myself, your very obedient,

We quote the following affecting passage from
a letter in the Tipperary Free Press, respecting
the famine in Mayo and Galway, which is
addressed to Earl GREY. The writer is a
gentleman named M'HALE. After detailing at
some length the appearance of the wretched
peasants who daily crowd the public roads, in
their way to the provisice depots, in search of
food for themselves and their families, Mr.
M'HALE goes on to say--" There was one in
particular whose means as well as fainting
appearance, attracted my attention : a feeble
woman with a child on her breast, who came to
get a meal for a family of seven little children.
She left them in the morning without breaking
her own or their fast ; and she was now tottering
home, a distance of three miles, with her little
bag empty, and wildly asking those around her
how she could meet the cries of her famishing
children. She literally reminded me of the words
of the Prophet, The little ones looked for
bread, and there was none to break it.' And
had I not afforded her the means of relief, 1
doubt, from her appearance, whether she would
not have perished on the way." And yet these
harrowing scenes of distress are of perpetual
occurrence in a country which finds means to
support the richest, largest, and most dispropor-
tionate Protestant church establishment in the
world
