MCNDAY EVENING. AUGUST 22, 1831.

to the Emperor of Russ' A, of Manifesto no-
-tietY, not content with his past achievements
:I, this line, has just published another Pro-
:oblation, in which he calls upon the Poles in-
aatiY to lay down their arms, and surrender
th
4 ealseives to his well-known clemency and mo-
tientltiDn• He informs them that the insurrec-
-1;11 in the revolted provinces of Lithuania, Si-
-3.°gltia) &e. is put down, and that if they per-
;t In their treason they must infallibly be ruined.
wit:, I
an mperial MAJESTY winds up, as usual,
with appeal to, Providence—a favourite habit
was
his infamous grandmother, whenever she
r about to commit an act of more than ave-
4ge atrocity. She, too, dared to invoke the
hi
:s'ing of the Deity on the Russian arms,
hs'ea while the butcher SUWARROW was
,iaNSaereing, the defenceless Turks by thou-
:111;ds under the smoking walls of Ismael.
rne-,el,ll"As, like his old grandmother, is a
rob--"°diat of the first water. He can neither
Pr'torture, nor murder, scarcely even fine, im-
bis°o, or banish, without first invoking the
Qtr sing of Heaven on his virtuous energies. In
tetnPting l„ to re-subjugate Poland he seems to
a:, 48 great stress on his prayers as on his arms,
thqg will doubtless find the one quite as effectual as
itide there Poland is not to be canted out of her
theePendence ; nor is the Deity to be swindled by
per;vo ws of a hypocrite, even though lie be an Im-
the al one and sign himself Nlc Hor, As. Secure in
thejustice of her cause, and consequently under
ticel44lediate protection of the fountain of all j us-
-1)1 PL. °land must recover her freedom. It were
thaat-PuernY to think otherwise. She demands but
all kwhich is the legitimate right of all men and
howlt/gd°llls, and must obtain it. Meantime,
fest -ver, enough may be gleaned from the mani-
he NICHOLAS to convince her that
to 11 persist to the last in his efforts
conpre'e°oquer her. Not a word about
holciecssi°o does this Imperial manifesto-monger
all
should bee
; his Proclamation is general where it
be particular, and particular where it
toa I3e general. In a word, it is the prelude
is war of extermination against Poland ; and
ey, -erelY intended to throw dust into the
ai
.°f the credulous and justify still greater
11:(3eities (if that be possible) than the Russian
"Itti have yet committed.

The Irish Lord Lieutenants' Bill was read a
third time in the House of Commons on Satur-
day. Of the Reform Bill, the 18th, 19th, and
:Ith clauses were adopted, after some desultory
Izeussion. We could wish to see this great
4asure making more satisfactory progress.

t\i'Ve learn from the French Journals that not-.
Nanding the recent ominous demonstrations
forthe Minister at War, Louis PHILIPPE has
411111.411 y announced his intention of instantly f
coing the French troops from Belgium. The:e
411:1ier Francais mentions, in a tons of con-
that the great Powers have at length de-
