POLAND.

The following is the Address from the Polish Committee
at Paris to the House of Commons, where it was read en
Tuesday evening by Mr. T. Attwood :
" ADDRESS OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE !OLIN{
EMIGRATION TO THE HONOURABLE THE RIURFSEN.

TATIVES OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN PAR-
LIAMENT ASSEMBLED.
" The events which bare lately taken place in Poland
impose on us the imperative duty of calling off once more
your attention from your important legislative occupa-
tions to fix it on our unhappy country. Polind, during
the last two months, has made new and astonishing ef-
forts to recover her independence, and the hand of the
tyrant is again imbrued with innocent blood. Neither
the superiority of the enemy's forces, nor want of arms,
nor the certainty of the most excruciating torments in case
of failure, could hinder our countrymen from opposing the
despot's acts, by the most vigorous resistance, and march-
ing to the scaffold with that firmness for which the Po-
lish character has been so eminently distinguished during
so many ages.
" This, then, is another epoch of self denial, of pa-
triotic exploits, and new sacrifice, which we are anxious
to have recorded in history, and with which we think it
our duty to acquaint you, Noble Representatives!
" Time is precious; the destiny of a whole nation is at
stake; numbers of her sons have met with a glorious
death in the field ; her young people have been torn from
the bosom of their families, and condemned to seek for an
asylum in foreign countries. Even women and children
have been dragged through the ice and deserts of Siberia.
Finally, the rest of the population is falling now a victim
under the axe of the executioner. Must, then, a nation
which his rendered such signal services to the cause of
religion and civilisation perish without exciting a unani-
mous cry of universal indignation?
" The Russian Cabinet, jealous of our ancient power,
which had so often and so effectively withstood the irrup-
tions of the barbarians of the north ; considering, more-
over, that in the last struggle the Muscovite preponderance
was nearly overpowered by the forces of a small State, had
resolved upon our entire annihilation, in order to overawe
Europe. To accomplish this, they have made use of the
expedient of extirpating the nation from its own soil. The
Czar adopted it and puts it into execution with a furious
atrocity unexampled in modern history.
" Hitherto the love of their country, which can be
never efficed from Polish bosoms, gave them strength to
prolong this struggle; but no existence can always resist
such adversity. The measures which the Czar's Go-
vernment makes use of in Poland are cruel and sangui-
nary. It is now two years since the war ended; however, a
Muscovite army overruns the country, and continues to
treat the inhabitants as if they were still in war with
them. A price has been set on the heads of the
patriots, because they pre'er to die sword in hand, being
unable to support the yoke of the tyrant any longer. It
is this noble sentiment, so natural to freemen, that our
oppressors dare call by the name of rebellion I To
oppose oneself to transportation into the deserts of
Siberia is deemed by Russia a crime panisbable with death.
.‘ We will not trouble you with the recital of all those
crimes which the Russians commit with impunity in
Poland—the public papers are filled with them. Par
from our country—unable to take an aetive part at this
critical juncture—relying on the justice of our cause—we
expose our griefs before the tribunal of the people, sod
make bold to say, it is not only in the name of humanity
trampled under foot—it is not merely for the welfare of
our country that we make this appeal to the justice of
nations; we do so, moreover, in the name of all the
powerful interests of the civilization and independence of
other people. Poland, weltering in her blood, will not
be the last state to feel the consequences of this criminal
ambition of which we have been the first victims. Look
to the East ; it is in the midst of the ruins of Poland
that Russia meditates and accomplishes a new encroach-
ment. 'I be immediate consequence of the fall of Warsaw
has been for Europe the occupation by Russia of the vast
Ottoman Empire.
" We need not tell you, noble representatives, that
there are no other means of hindering, not only the total
destruction of the Polish nation, but also the future con-
quests of Russia, but by re-establishing Poland in her
primitive independence.

" The treaties which dare sanction the partition of
Poland are unworthy of your consideration. You will not
;rnagine, as others have done with respect to Poland, that
it is impossiblo to bring to life what is dead. Poland is
not dead—she still speaks and acts ; miracles are not ne-
cessary to give her life—a firm and unshakeable will is
sufficient.

" Lift, then, your powerful voice in favour of the sacred
cause ; it is a whole nation which addressee herself to that
noble and generous one which you represent. We repeat
Once more, time presses—let the world know at length that
the sacred rights of the people must be respected in Emote.
" The President, DWERNICK, General.
"J. SIERCVILU, General.
" ALEXANDRE JELOWICKI, Nouve a la ilea
de Pologne.
" ANDRE PLEICHTA, Counsellor of State.
"The Secretary, ANDREW STOWACZINILZ.
