he is editor, may be taken as a Sample of the
tone which the Address will assume in regard
to Poland :

" The war," says the Constitution/id, " undertaken by
the King of Holland, is, without doubt, the war of des-
potism against liberty, against all the principles which have
triumphed in the revolutions of July and September;
France was then, of all the Powers, the most interested
in taking in hand the cause of Belgium. .That in
espousing the quarrels of her Ally, she risks the arms
against herself of other Powers, secret enemies of her re-
volution, is what we should not dare to deny; but still it
would be more honourable and, perhaps, more sure, for
our revolution to have to defend itself against armies than
against diplomatic intrigues and an obscure propagandism.
As to Poland, what has our pretended neutrality hitherto
done for her? Our attitude has prevented Prussia from
uniting her armies to those of Russia ; has it prevented her
from carrying on against Poland a war the more deadly
that it was disguised ? Whatever may be the consequences
of the resolution adopted by our Government, they cannot
he for France a subject of regret and repentance. Either
our army will only have to combat the Dutch army, and
victory will not be long doubtful, and the peace of Eu-
rope, troubled by the King of Holland, will be consoli-
dated ; or the Dutch army will be only the vanguard of a
coalition, and then we shall have to congratulate ourselves
nn seeing at length the visage of our enemies ; for what
would signify an attack so rule, so destitute of motive, ex-
cept that hitherto they had deceived us by feigned demon-
strations of friendship—that they were only looking out for
a pretext to declare themselves ; and that they have chosen
the most vain and the most unjust. At all events we
shall gain by this war the seeing of our young Govern-
ment strengthened by national opinion, and our paltry dis-
sentiona will be lost in a comMunity of feeling and of
thinking."

In fact, it is morally impossible for any Ministry
to stand a week in France that does not at once
declare for Poland. And how is this to be
effected ?—Not by vain regrets—mock sympathy
—and contemptible admiration—no ! it must be
done by deeds of enterprise and promptitude,
fearless of consequences. France must inter-
pose by arms—and' arms alone, seeing that her
remonstrances have been treated with disdain.
France must now assist the Poles cost what it
may. If Prussia stands in her way, no matter—
she must march on and restore Poland to her
original rank among nations, free and inde-
pendent. Without this, France herself is in-
secure, and without attempting this, no Ministry
can stand in the present temper of the French
people.

We have received the Fiamburg Reporter
and other Papers of Friday last, containing
news from Warsaw to the 25th of July, at which
period nothing decisive had taken place. The
Russians were endeavouring to cross the Vis-
tula at Pulawy, and were furnished with pon-
toons by Austria from Gallicia ! Will France
tolerate this mock-neutrality any longer ? She
dare not—now that her army is at length in mo-
tion ! War is inevitable between Prussia, Austria,
Russia, and France, let their representatives hold
as many conferences as they please, holding up
the torch of hypocrisy to each other in solemn
mockery ! The following are extracts :

WARSAW, JUL] 25.—1 n the present critical situation
of the country it is not to be wondered at that a feverish
susceptibility prevails in the public mind here. Our
Diet has of late held several sittings with closed doors,
and a variety of reports are in circulation respecting the
subjects under deliberation. Among other reports, it is
said that the measures of the Comtnander-in•Chief have
been severely censured, and that a Council of War
is to be immediately appointed to inquire into the general
state of the country, and to endeavour to ascertain the ex-
tent of the efforts and sacrifices which the country will
be required to make. The Russians were yesterday
twenty miles from Warsaw. They are pressing for.
ward in two columns, the one by the way of Kow al
and Brzesc, the other by Lowicz-k. Our foreposts stand
at Lubien ; they are continually engaged with the enemy's
cavalry. Wloclawek was taken by the Russians after
an obstinate defence made by the armed population. On
the 19th, our cavalry had a most obstinate battle with
that of the enemy, at Brzeac, which place was taken
and retaken several times. .Our troops at length
maintained themselves in the town, and spent
the night there. The armed population of the country is
extremely active, and many individual cases of extraordi-
nary heroism are daily occurring. The patrolling parties,
and other small detachments of the enemy, are continually
cut off by our peasantry. The whole force of the Rus-
sians on the left side of the Vistula cannot he much above
twenty thousand men and fifty pieces of artillery.
In Gallicia the Russians appear to receive the same as-
sistance as in Prussia. At Lemberg every necessary ma-
terial is collecting to enable the Russians to construct a
bridge over the upper part of the Vistula. On the 21st
about 20,000 persons were at work on the fortifications ;
women, children, and old men, shared in the labours of
the day.

HAMBURG, AUG. 5.

Boaseae HALLE, Tins DAY, Fouit O'CLOCK.—The sup-
ply of Wheat during the week has not been large. In the
earlier part some purchases were made for England ; fur-
ther orders from the same quarter are in the market, but
as the holders stand out for high pi ices many orders re-
main unexecuted. Inferior sa:rples are extremely heavy.
Rye is heavy. The arrivals of this year's corn were
sufficient to supply the demand of our own consumers, so
that little or nothing was taken out of the warehouses.
Of Barley the supply has been very limited, and,
some purchases being made for exportation, prices are
firm, and our stock getting low.
From the 23d to the 30th July, 53 cargoes of corn
passed through the Sound ; of these, 13 were hound for
British, 17 for Dutch, and 16 for Swedish, Danish, and
Norwegian ports; one was bound for Bremen, one for
Havre, and of five the destination was unknown.

HAMBURG, Aun. 2.—The Cracow Courier contains
some extracts of Warsaw Papers, dated July 22.
Among them are three reports from the Commander •
in-Chief to the National Government.
No. 1, dated from the head-quarters, July 17, states
that the Generalissimo having gone in person to the corps
under General Cluzanowski found that the accounts he
had sent were less favourable than the actual success
warranted. The number of prisoners was 1,250, and 16
officers, and the enemy's loss in killed and wounded very
great. A cannon too was taken.
No. 2 relates a successful attack made on the 15th, by
order of General Skarzynski on a division of the Kasan
regiment of dragoons, posted in a village between %Iran
and Ostralenka ; 120 of the Russians were made prisoners,
