PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.

The official Gazette of Berlin has the following
Proclamation, dated St. Petersburgh, Dec. 17:—
Poles,—The guilty events of which the capital of Po.
land presents the example, has troubled the public tran-
quillity of the country ; I have been informed of them with
the most just indignation, and with a sentiment of the
most profound grief.

" Some individuals unworthy of the Polish name, have
formed a conspiracy against the life of the brother of your
King, have inveigled the army to forget their oaths, and
have deceived the people upon their dearest interest.
" There is yet time to make reparation, and to prevent
infinite misfortunes. lam not about to confound those
who abjure the errors of a moment with those who per-
severe in crime. Poles, listen to the counsels of a father
—obey the order of your Sovereign.
"In publishing our immutable intentions, we have or-
dered,—

I. The Russians who are detained prisoners shall be
set at liberty.

" 2. The Council of Administration shall resume its
Functions, as instituted in 1826.

" 3. The authorities, civil and military, shall obey its
orders, and not acknowledge any illegitimate authority.
" 4. The Chiefs of Corps of the Army shall assemble
the troops, and shall direct their course with them to the
rendezvous at Plozn.

" 5. At the same time they will inform us of the state
of the troops.

" 6. All who shall not conform to this mili ary order,
shall cease their functions, and be declared dismissed.

" The local authorities shall deprive of their arms all
those who are opposed to public order. The arms shall
be confided to the care of veterans, and of the communal
gensdarmes.

" Soldiers of the Polish army ! your motto has always
been fidelity and honour. The regiment of Cavalry Chas-
seurs of the Royal Guard have given a remarkable proof of
it. Soldiers, follow their example, justify the confidence
of your Sovereign, who has received your oaths !
" Poles ! you have remained faithful, I count upon
your devotion and courage. I will not spurn from me
those who regret the error of a moment, and who will re-
turn to their duty. But never shall I address men with-
out honour and faith, who have conspired against the
tranquillity of their country. What concession can they
imagine they will receive without arms in their hands?

They deceive themselves. Traitors of their country, tl'
misfortunes which they have drawn down will fall age' Bank
upon their own heads. ;1 per

A publication of the Commandant-General of t 6 Joacn,
President in Chief of the Grand Duchy of Post Jan
(a Polish province of Prussia), recalls the inhl
bitants who may have repaired to Poland, to retut Jan
within fifteen days, under pain of seizure of all the Pk ig

goods, and mentions that there have been sect
meetings, and:concealed armaments detected.
The private letters dated St. Petersburgh, on
16th and 17th of December, state that Genet
Diebitsch had already given orders to the Russis
corps at Wilna to advance upon the line of Waisal

The Hamburg Correspondent gives the followir
intelligence from Silesia, dated Dec. 20:—" Althoug
no large stream er high mountain separated us fro
Poland, the revolution which has broken out the;
has found a natural barrier in the fidelity and cal'
fidence of the Silesians in their King. On of
frontiers Kalish was the point were the insurrectie
was organized. The first meetings in our neighboa
hood took place at the house of Count
in the Polish town of Proschke, who called togethi
all the nobles in the neighbourhood, and planne
the disarming of the Cossacks. The latter, howeve
did not wait for the attack, but on the 6th
December took refuge with their horses in tb
Prussian village of Janisnow. On the follovvie
day, the commanding Major of the Cossacks ova
persuaded by a Polish nobleman, who had been set
to him, to return to the territory of Poland, but tl4
Cossacks had no sooner taken possession of the
barracks, than they were attacked by the count(
people, who disarmed and plundered them. Tb
Major, with about seventy men, made his ese
by passing the river Prosna on horseback. Thy
arrived safely on the Prussian territory, and maroae,
off for Breslow. These Cossacks formed an es
tended line of revenue officers, but were easily bribe
by the smugglers. At present, Poles armed witl
scythes, and wearing large white cockades, supPl
their place on the frontiers. The prohibition, uncle
pain of death, of passing the Prussian frontiers
issued by the Provisional Government, has hitheit
been observed very strictly."

The Moniteur of Tuesday contains a report aci
dressed to the King by the Minister of the Interici
which, after setting forth the necessity of suppress
ing the Direction of Public Works, upon the grotto(
of its giving rise to abuses, delay, and great expend
proposes an ordinance for signature, calculated tc
remedy these evils. The report is followed by the
ordinance, by which the Direction of Public Woril
;s suppressed from January 1. All works at the
charge of the Government are henceforth to be us'
der the direction of the Minister of the Interior, and
those at the charge of the City of Paris, uncle
that of the Prefect of the department. A se
cond ordinance convokes the electoral colleg4
of the first arrondissement of the departmefil
of the Loire at Montbrison, and that of the depart'
ment of the Maine and Loire at Angers, for the 80
of February next, to elect deputies in the room 01
M. de Chantelauze and M. Guernon de Ranville
A third ordinance appoints M. Guibega to be sub'
prefect of Sartene, in Corsica, in the room of M
Peraldi, who retires, and M. Froment to be Secre'
tary-General of the Prefecture of the same depart'
ment, in the room of M. Guibega. A fourth ordi'
nance appoints M. Laurent de Jussieu, Secretor)"
General of the Prefecture of the Seine, in the rood
of M. Taschereau. A fifth ordinance creates a neo
Commissariat of Police at Ham, in the department
of the Somme, and M. Dysse is appointed the Co►O'
raissary.

The Journal du Commerce has the following :-d
" The intention of the Spanish Government to Re'
knowledge the Cortes loan is again repeated. Thil
is not to be a pure and simple acknowledgment
but if credit is to be given to those who pretend to
be fully informed, the following is to be the plan
—At first twenty or twenty-five per cent. of
nominal capital will be admitted as a new debt, at
three per cent.; the remaining seventy-five of
eighty per cent., with the amount of the interest BC
trued since 1823, will also be allowed as a debt, 101
without interest from the time of its liquidation'
This amount will be divided into fifty series, to be
annually converted by lot into a fund bearing three
per cent. interest, with a sinking fund, the nature
or amount of which is not stated. This is what
Spain calls fulfilling her engagements, and she
hopes, no doubt, by this proof of fidelity, to open
the purses of the Parisians afresh. We believe'
however, they will think twice before they make •
any further advances."
In the month of February a new forced loan will
be levied in Portugal, for the purpose of providing
for the support of the troops which are to be raise
i
by that time. The confiscation of the property °,
emigrants continues. It is said that Dc . Miguel is
secretly preparing a pretended great conspiracy, in
which will be implicated all the rich inhabitants
whose opinions give him umbrage. They will be
some morning arrested, condemned, and transport&
and their property will serve to gratify the ino,",
tiableness of Don Miguel. The Pacha of Tripoli
a French officer, and two Turkish servants, have
been driven into the Tagus by bad weather.—Gets'

The Revolution says—" It is stated that Captain
Lacombe, commanding the first squadrons of the
hussars of Chartres, has been arrested under the
following circumstances :—His too liberal opinion°
had induced the Minister of War to send him to n
distance from his regiment, and on Saturday he re'
ceived orders to set off within two hours for Too'
lon, where he would find despatches for the More*
and a ship ready to convey him. Captain LacomVo
surprised at this unexpected mission, and being still
a sufferer from a wound received in the days of Jull'
endeavoured to obtain a revocation of the order;
but not having succeeded, he determined to set on
on Sunday, and the post horses were at his door
when lie was arrested."
" We can assert upon good authority," says
Constitulionnel, " that the events which had We°
nigh disturbed the tranquillity of the Roman State°
will contribute to accelerate the labours of the Con'
slave, and that France will probably have cause to
be satisfied with the election that will be made
Two French Cardinals have entered the Conclave'
—namely, M. tie Rohan and M. d'lsoard. M. de
Croi, it is believed, is also at Rome at this Ino"
