nn,

" awe me from my friends" has been a time-
honoured adage, even from the days of Jel to
the present hour. It has now received a new
and powerful illustration in reference to deeply-
injured Poland, and her long-suffering and mag-
nanimous children. She may, indeed, bitterly
feel the contemptuous indifferenc3 displayed
towards her at the Parisian Conferences when
her name was not even mentioned nor the
slightest allusion made to her manifold and almost
intolerable wrongs. This extraordinary silence on
the part of France and England was the more
remarkable, inasmuch as there had been a total
departure from the arrangements entered into at
the Congress of Vienna, which gave an un-
doubted right of remonstrance to the represen-
totives of any Power that participated there-
in ; and, also, because there was no such
forbearance with respect to minor States,
the Governments of Greece and Naples hav-
ing been very properly censured for their gross
and palpable misconduct, and a significant hint
was given to Belgium respecting its toleration of
what Count WALEWSKI was pleased to designate
as the undue freedom of the Press. But a total
and unbroken silence was maintained respectina
Poland, which possessed the first claim on the
attention of the Conference, after the question
of War or Peace had been finally disposed or.
When flesh engagements were about to be con-
tracted, nothing could be more pertinent than an
inquiry into the manner in which those formerly
entered into had been fulfilled, And a demand for
redress with respect to any violation thereof.
We can, therefore, sympathise with the incre-
dulity displayed by the veteran Lord LYNDHTJRST,
in supposing that the interesting and important
ettbject should be so completely shelved, or the
golden opportunity suffered to slip by without
observation or comment.

The Noble and Learned Lord, in his lucid and
convincing argument, clearly and distinctly ex-
plained the conditions on which alone Poland, or
rather a portion of Poland, was handed over to the
tender. mercies of the then CZAR. It was expressly
stipulated that it "should remain a separate king-
dorn—that, it should never be incorporated with
the Russian Empire—that its national institutions
should be preserved—that it should have a re-
presentative assembly, and that the administration
of the financial department of the army should
always be kept distinct !" Every solemnity that
could add weight to the obligation was observed.
The then Autocrat, ALEXANDER the First, swore
to the observance of these stipulations, which
constituted the foundation of his authority.
His successor, the late Emperor NICHOLAS, also
ratified the Treaty by an oath. But how did he
discharge the sacred duty thus imposed on him f
How did he fulfil the five points which he had
undertaken to respect ? Let Lord LYNDHURST
answer:—"Regardless of the earnest remon-
otrances of the Allies, regardless of the
oath he had taken, he incorporated the ter-
ritory of Poland in the empire of Russia,
making it an integral part of that empire.
From that period the Emperor NICHOLAS
passed a series of laws the ollject of which was to
extinguish the Polish name and character. The
works of art in the Palace at Warsaw were trans-
ferred to St. Petersburg. The two universities
of Warsaw and Wilna were totally abolished. The
national schools were either abolished or re-
modelled. Many thousands of the inferior order
of nobles were transported to distant parts of the
Russian empire. The language of Russia was
ordered to be introduced in adininistering the
laws throughout the whale of Lithuania, and it
Tel ordered that in every solovl of the empire
