sition.

We give in this day's Sun an address of the
National Government of Poland to the inha-
bitants of Lithuania, Volhynia, Podolia, and
Ukraine. It is a most firm, temperate, emphatic
document, and will, no doubt, answer the purpose
for which it is designed. From the very late
hour of the day at which we have received it, we
are unable to speak of it as its importance deserves.

The following are extracts from the Lisbon
Gazelle of the Ist instant, and the Allgemeine
Zeitung to the Bth, received this morning :--

LISBON, MAY 31.
ROYAL BOARD OF TRADE.-EDICT.

The Royal Board of Trade, Agriculture, Manufactures,
and Navigation of the Kingdom has issue,' the following
Notice:—

"MOST ILLUSTRIOUS AND EXCELLENT SENOR,—M.
Camas, charged with the Consulate of France, who lately
resided in this capital, having addressed to his Majesty's
Government reclamations, which, at the same time that
they were not in the attribute of his official character, were
entirely contrary to the plainest and repeated declarations
of hie Government, that it would nut interfere in the in-
ternal affairs of other countries, and which neither the
law of nations nor common usage ever authorised persons
in such offices to make, it was replied to }aim, that as he
had not the character established by the law of nations to
make communications of that nature, which exceeded the
limits of the Consular office, the Government of his Ma-
jesty found it impossible, for these reasons, to give an an-
swer to them. Notwithstanding this answer, founded
on principles that were hitherto never disputed in any
country, the said Consul resolved to withdraw and set out
for France, summoning the French residing in this king-
dom to accompany him, to which only a few agreed,
most of them remaining tranquil under the safeguard of
the laws and of the authorities, which never fail to protect
foreigners who peaceably gain their livelihood. Several
French ships of war, viz., two frigates, two corvettes, and
a brig, having appeared on the coast of these kingdoms,
the Commander of that squadron sent a despatch to his
Majesty's Government, in which he made the following
demands:—

1. That Edmund Polineaux Bonhomme should be set at
liberty and the sentence pronounced upon him annulled,
because the application of the punishment pronounced by
that sentence was considered as an insult to France.
2. The dismissal of the Judges who pronounced that
sentence, and the official publication of the act annulling it.
3. An indemnity of 20,000 francs to the said Bonhomme.
4. That Claude Sauvenot, declared to be a naturalised
Portuguese, who had violated the laws of the kingdom,
and was sentenced, by an extraordinary commission, to ten
years' banishment to Africa, should be set at liberty.
5. An indemnity of 6,000 francs to each of the two
Frenchmen, Gambey and Mallon, arbitrarily arrested at
Oporto, and one of 3,000 francs to another Frenchman,
named Dupont, who was imprisoned at Lisbon one year,
and all three expelled from Portugal by a sentence from
which no culpability results.
6. The indemnity of 10,000 francs previously claimed
by M. Cassas for the engraver Dubois, for the injury done
him during his confinement in prison.
7. An indemnity of 20,000 francs for the Frenchman
Mohene, already left Lisbon, and for the freight of the
ship Jumeaux an indemnity, the amount of which shall
be fixed in the sequel for those who, having remained at
Lisbon since the departure of the Consul, have suffered any
injury.
8. The strict observance in future of the privileges of
the French, not to be liable to arrest, except by order of
the Judge Conservator of the privileged nations.
Immediately after the French Consul had made demands
which he was incompetent to make, his Majesty's Go-
vernment applied to the Allies of the Crown of Portugal,
with whom there exist dispositions of constitutional law
and solemn treaties, in order to treat of this business
in a manner suitable to the honour of these kingdoms.—
Accordingly, an answer was returned to the said Com-
mander, that the Portuguese Government not having any
person at Paris authorised to treat on such a subject, and
M. Cassas also nut being authorised by any diploma com-
municated to tie Portuguese Government, the Govern-
ment of his Majesty found it impossible to come to an
understanding with the French Government by any of
the above means ; but desiring, however, to come to a de-
cision, it had resolved to treat immediately by means of
the Allies of the Crown of Portugal ; and that, under
these circumstances, it would not be conformable either to
motives of delicacy or to the nature of such a transac-
tion, to give the categorical answer which was re-
quired. That his Majesty's Government hoped that
he would communicate this answer as soon as possible
to his Government, and that any violent measures which
be might employ, contrary to the spirit of this statement,
would not fail to be considered by all nations as an act of
unprovoked aggression. Notwithstanding this communi-
cation, the French man of war proceeded to capture the
Portuguese brigantine Constante, which came from Para.
in these disagreeable circumstances the King, our Sove-
reign, has been pleased to order the above particulars to be
communicated to the Royal Board of Trade, that it may
cause the same to be duly published, his Majesty, hoping
that such occurrences will shortly cease through the means
already adopted, and such other as his Majesty may deem
expedient, all which your Excellency will make known to
the tribunal.

VIENNA, JUNE I.—The appearance of the cholera in
two circles of Gallicia has induced our Government to
adopt the measures which are the beet calculated to effect
the cure of the patients, and to prevent the spreading of
the disorder into the interior of the monarchy. There is

the mote reason to hope that. this measute will be eflea
tual, as the mortality seems already to abate in the
Jews' quarter at Lemberg, where eighteen persons fell vie
rims to it in a few days. Our letters from Warsaw are to
the 27th. Baron Von Munch Brilinghansen is stil here,
and will not return to Frankfort for some weeks. The
number of the Carlists here daily increases by the arrival
of new comers. We hear that Lieutenant Field-Marshal
Zuechi, having been brought before a Court-martial, at
Gratz, has been condemned to death, but pardoned by the
Effiperoh

We have just seen an address " to the re-
-I:abtleicsly of that borough. issued by order
re-
spectable householders and inhabitants of the
town and county of the borough of Carmar-
tolfi
the Mayor
col
ah
na
ds beiaeng
It is a most extraordinary production, full of
grotesque imagery, and grammatical solecisms,
couched in the most solemn and sounding
phraseology ; in fact, it is just such an address
as a Mayor might be expected to compose,
and a Magistrate to countenance. After exhort-
ing the inhabitants to make every effort to pre-
serve the peace of the town, it goes on to speak
of the late proceedings of an unruly mob, who,
it seems, " have occasionally selected for their
depredations that still hour of the night, when all
the well-regulated, the most relig'ous, and
civilized portion of the community have hereto-

fore been accustomed to venerate, as an im-
penetrable halo, encircling their abodes with
confident protection and repose." This passage
which in point of meaning is as " impenetrable" as
the midnight " halo" of which it speaks, reminds
us forcibly of the poetical sallies of the Right
Hon. G. DAWSON ; how it is to answer the
purpose of its author, we cannot for the life of
us conceive, for most assuredly not one in ten of
the inhabitants of Carmarthen will be able to
understand it. What a wonderful man his Wor-
ship must be, to be able to write in the vertia•
cular with such exquisite ambiguity as to defy the
most strenuous efforts of the schoolmaster to gain
even a Mount Pisgah glimpse of his meaning !
His Worship proceeds as follows :—" We,
the Mayor, and Magistrates of this Borough,
consider it a duty imperative upon us to appeal
to you, and to call you, individually and col-
lectively as we now do, to co-operate with us for
the safety of your persons, for the protection of

your properties, and for the good government of
this community, and that you should come for-
ward as good citizens, to indicate your own
dignity and respectability in society, and
above all, to distinguish yourselves from those
of the community who are the subject of com-
plaint, and by every legitimate means in your
poner to put down the system of tumult, law-

iessnesF, and every disorder that has and now is
stalking barefaced abroad amongst you, and
which, if not timely suppressed, may, by neglect
or indifference, grow to a strength not in your
power, or in the power of the law, to suppress
without consequences of evils that cannot at
present be well anticipated. We beg also to
declare that we are ready and determined, as far
as lay in our power, to uee every legal means to
bring to condign punishment all such persons
that may be discovered as having offended, as
well as all those who may offend in any of the
matters before alluded to."

If ever the Right Hon. G. DAWSON bea

this in point of grammar, terseness, and imagery,
we will agree to eat him, whiskers and all. It

is more confused than chaos itself. The riddle
of the Sphynx is a joke to it. Conceive " a
system of tumult stalking barefaced abroad in
the streets of Carmarthen !" No wonder the
Mayor and Magistrates were frightened out of

what few wits they ever had, at the monstrous
apparition ! Why did they not put the hob-
goblin in the stocks, or baptise him in the horse-
pond ? Verily, they have much to answer for.
We notice this address, not from any intrinsic
importance it possesses, but because, all circum-
stances considered, it is really one of the greatest
curiosities we ever met with. Carmarthen, we be-
lieve, consists of a Mayor and twelve Aldermen
—how very strange that not one of the thirteen
knows how to write even two consecutive sen-
tences in English ! Yet these dunderheads, not-
withstanding their superlative stupidity, presume
to suppose that they can understand the bearings
of a great complicated question like Reform ;
that they are actually competent to give advice
to the enlightened inhabitants of Carmarthen !
The blockheads ! They deserve to be sent to
the charity school for their ignorance ; to be de-
corated with a cap and bells ; to be soundly
flogged ; and sent to bed night after night with•
out their supper, till they have learnt the first
rudiments of English Grammar.

Under the head of Queen-square, our readers
will find a Police Report which conveys a lively
idea of the wisdom of some parts of our criminal
law. A poor Turk, without a friend in the
world, charges a girl named SOPHIA CHAP-
MAN, with robbing him of half a sovereign.
The case being proved, the offender is of
course committed. But what follows ? Why,
the Turk is bound over to prosecute ;
but declining to do so on the very jus-
tifiable plea, that when the trial comes on he
will be absent from London, whither business
imperatively calls him, he is actually committed to
Kingston Gaol, to the certain ruin of his trade
And to this punishment he is consigned, because
a girl has thought fit to rob him of half a sove-
reign ! Why, the prosecutor is actually worse
off than the criminal. Both are imprisoned,
but the punishment of the one will probably ter-
minate with a month at the tread-mill, while the
other will lose not only his half-sovereign, but
his trade, his country connexions, his prospects,
and perhaps his all. Who, after this, will ever
think of prosecuting for the public good ? As
the law at present stands, it is neither more nor
less than an act of suicidal folly.

It is said in the city that Messrs. ItoTtr-
SCHILD have an order for 200,000 stand of arms on ac-
count of the Russian Government, and also that our 3lini-
eters, the manufacturers not being able to supply them
fast enough, have consented to let them have a consider-
able number from the Tower, taking the new ones in ex-
change as they can be got ready. The latter part of the
story, however, it need scarcely be remarked, is a vile
calumny, and requires no contradiction. It would be the
moat unpopular act a British Ministry could commit to
facilitate by any means whatever the obtaining of arms by
despotism to put down freedom.— Times.

dated June I :—" At day-light yesterday morning nine
vessels and a number of large Imatq, with troops on board,
under the command of Conde de Villa nor, appeared off
the north-east part of island ; but owing to the wind

municating it.
" The British schooner Providence, Clark, chartered by
the Portuguese Government, sailed yesterday ; it is said
she is to ct uise for homeward-bound ships, to warn them
of their danger, and to go to the Western Islands to ascer-
tain what is going on there. The schorner Hiram,
Gibson, engaged by the Government for a similar purpose,
has been detained by Captain Phillips, of his Majesty's
ship Ariadne, said to be caused by her not having proper
clearances.

" A Portuguese squadron, consisting of a line-of-battle
ship, three heavy frigates, two corvettes, and two brigs,
are preparing for sea, with a despatch quite unusual here ;
but their destination is not known."

Extract from the Agents to Lloyd's, at St. Übe's, dated

(Prom the Singapore Papers. )—The recal from Canton of
the supercargoes or members of the Select Committee, con-
tinue to be the subject of much remark among those con-
nected with East India affairs ; the immediate cause is
said to be the dispute with the Chinese, which these gen-
tlemen are suspected of having brought on through an
anxiety to protect their own private interests in preference
to those of their employers, the East India Company.
The private trade at Canton goes on as usual, though the
Company are excluded from it.

IiNEADFUL ACCIDENT OF THE STEAM-BOAT WASHING-
TON.-We are distressed to state that the steam .boat Wash-
ington is lost. She left here on her regular trip to Pro-
vidence on Saturday afternoon, with about 60 passengers.
Off Stratford Point she came in contact with the steam-
boat Livington, at twelve o'clock at night. The Wash-
ington was much injured, she filled with water in 45 mi-
nutes, and went down ; all the passengers except two are
supposed to have got on board the Livington, and arrived
safe yesterday afternoon.
Accounts from Mexico of the 10th of April state that
Ramos had surrendered himself with 900 men. The
town of Acapulco has been fired by Alvares. The con-
ducta had arrived at Vera Cruz with 937,936 dollars in
silver, and 293,960 in gold. The Mexican Government
had transmitted 139,773 dollars to England to pay divi-
dends on its stock. _ _

Accounts from Brest, of the 7th June, state that the
French Government will not relax in the least of their de-
mands on Don Aliguel, and that Ministers will send
Count Admiral Roussin with full powers, and should the
Portuguese refuse to comply with the demands of France,
he is to continue hostilities. It is believed that the
Souffren, at Cherbourg, and some frigates from Toulon,
are to join his flag. To-day there are embarking two
companies, to land in the Tagus if required.
