tical decency—with regard to the importance of
checking the increasing ferocity and insolence
of the sceptred tyrant, whose predecessor was
shocked at being styled by BONAPARTE, the
Barbarian of the North, refrain from calling him
to account ? The Moniteur has, in weak lan-
guage, it is true, but with fair argument, replied
to the calumnies which the Russians have heaped
upon the Poles, and denied their right to
enslave and persecute them. We do not find,
however, that any of the semi-official organs of
our Government have taken the same course.
Will they, can they, be silent under the disgrace
of this new act of barbarity to the Poles—to
Polish women, accused of corresponding with
husbands, fathers:, children—with all that they
esteem and love ? Will Lord PALNIERSTON
submit to this new insult ? If the Emperor
NICHOLAS really did assure him that he would
behave generously to the Poles, let him demand
the fulfilment of the pledge. His Lordship
need fear nothing. Every English heart would
be with him, and the Barbarian of the North is
too wily to challenge a contest with the English
Government, when backed and cheered on by
the people at large. Let the voice of insulted
England speak out, and the Russian Despot
will give way—Poland will bless us for our inter-
vention, and our national honour will be saved.

We learn by the German Papers that the
popular ferment at Constantinople still continues,
and that SWING is exercising his incendiary
abilities there as actively as he did in England
in the memorable year 1830. Throughout
Albania the state of affairs was equally critical,
the inhabitants of many of the towns having
expelled the Turkish authorities, and the insur-
rection being in a rapid state of progress towards
the south. It was generally supposed, there-
fore, that the SULTAN would be compelled, a
second time, to have recourse to Russian inter-
ference. The German Papers mention also,
under the head, Berlin, Sept. 22, that one of
the principal European questions, namely, that
relative to Holland and Belgium, was discussed
at the late conference at Munchengratz, when
the three Sovereigns came to a resolution that
Luxemburg should not be separated from the
German Confederation—consequently that it

should belong to Holland. This decision,

was said, had exercised some influence on the
relations of Prussia, as by it, the resolution with
regard to Neufchatel was consolidated.

The French Journals of Wednesday, and the
Gazette de France and Messager des Chambres,
dated yesterday, say that it was confidently stated
in Paris that TALLEYRAND would resume his
diplomatic functions with England in January,
and that the Chambers would be summoned to
sit for the despatch of business on the 15th of
December. By the Journal du Cornnzerce, we
are informed that the King of SPAIN'S health
becomes every day more precarious ; and that
the two leading factions of Apostolicals and
Liberals, in anticipation of his MAJESTY'S
death, are watching each other, and ready to
come to a collision.

In another part of The Sun our readers will
find accounts of the progress of affairs in Por-
tugal. The resignation of BOURNIONT was
generally talked of, and credited, and his place
was to be supplied, it was conjectured, by
a General MACDONALD. A correspondence
had taken place between Lord WM. RUSSELL
and BOURNIONT, in which the latter evinced no
indisposition to enter into terms with the
Pedroites.

We have in another column given the au-
thentic account, written by the sufferer himself,
of the murderous attack made upon Colonel
LYSTER, in Brussels, by some of King LEO-
PoLD's soldiers. The investigation which ap-
pears to have been made into the affair, is one
of the most unsatisfactory that could have been

Lnagined. The cavalry force in Brussels is by
no means large, and there cannot be a doubt
that a prompt iiiquiry would have led to a dis-
covery of the murderers. Of course we do not
look upon the attack as one made on account of
an anti-English feeling, or as a thing to be taken
up nationally. :The English are far from unpopular
at Brussels; and, if we may place any credit in
the words dropped by the assassins just before
they were obliged to make off; the attack was
made upon Colonel LYSTER by mistake. It is,
however, a matter of police of great interest to
the large body of our countrymen in Belgium,
who cannot fail to feel their security compro-
mised by such a state of no discipline in the
army as allows half a dozen soldiers to use their
arms for the purposes of plunder, or the gratifi-
cation of private feelings of revenge. It is cal-
culated that the fete of the 25th September, in com-
memoration of the revolution, assembled in Brus-
sels no less than four thousand English, many of
them gentlemen with their families, returning from
tours to Switzerland, Germany, France, and the
Rhine. Putting aside every other motive which
ought to influence the Government of LEOPOLD,
in bringing the guilty parties to justice, interest
should teach it not to disturb the confidence of
the vast body of English travellers, whose an-
nual expenditure in Brussels so greatly conduces
to its prosperity. We see that the Brussels cor-
respondent of the Morning Herald, writing on
Tuesday, has the following :
" The semi-official journals published this morning the
following paragraph, respecting the murderous attack on
Colonel Lyster :—' Reports have ben made to the C)rn-
mandant of the city by Colonel Van Remoorter, of the 65st
regiment of Horse Chasseurs, setting forth that the Captains
of the different companies have reported to him that no
o
broken sword has been found, on a general inspection .
Really, this is wonderful—at an inspection made two days
alter an outrage, and on a changing of quarters from one
city to another—no broken sword has been found. No one
ever thought it would ; and I will venture to assert, the
culprits, whether military or civilians, will never be brought
