POLISH DINNER IN EDINBURGH.

(Vrom the Morning Advertiser.)
Qn Tuesday the dinner, which has been a short time in
preparation, in aid or Cue funds for the relief of the dis-
tressed Poles, and in approbation of the struggles of Polish
indepen.dencei took place at the Assembly Rooms, in
-z4c<i-1-4-tiftwt, Notwithstanding the very unfavourable
the attendance was very considerable,
state of the weat2,
-1- respectable. The list
and the company was exceeumg.
"-ors and of a
of Stewards contained -the names of several „
number of Baronets, and of others of station and influence.
The chair was filled by the Earl of Brcadalbane ; and,
among others, the following distinguished personages were
present, viz.—Prinee'Czartoryski, Count Zamoyski, Count
Zaluski, the Lord Provost, Lord Dudley Stewart, Lord
Belhaven, the Lord Advocate, the Solicitor-General for
Scotland, the Earl of Buchan, Sir James Gibson Craig,
Sir Wm. Hamilton, Mr. Ferguson, M.P., the Provost of
Leith, Marshal Gordon, Sir George Warrender, M. Beau-
mont, M.P., Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Sir David Erskine,
Mr. W. D. Gillon, M.P., Mr. P. M. Stewart, M. P., Dr.
Brown, &c., &c.

On the cloth being removed, Non ?tobis Donzine was
sung by the professional gentlemen present I and at this
period of the evening a number of ladies entered afihid loud
cheering, and took their scats in the space set apart tot
them.

The Noble CHAIRMAN then rose and called on the com-
pany to fill a bumper, as the toast which he had to pro-
pose was one first meeting their attention. It was the
health of the King—(Loud cheers)—aad he felt gratified
in saying that the cause which had assembled them toge-
ther was one in which his Majesty took a deep interest,
and in the Royal Speech in the last Session of Parliament
his Majesty almost expressly alluded to the grant which
had been made to relieve the sufferings of the Poles.—
(Cheers.) He might state the grant was directly referred
to, and it was therefore not incorrect to say that they were
this night assembled together with his Majesty's approba-
tion. He would, therefore, give the health of the Kings
—(Drunk with three times three, and great cheering.)
The next toast was, " The Queen." _ _

The CHAIRMAN—I have now to propose the health of
the Princess Victoria.—(Great cheering.) The Princess
is the hope of the British empire, and. her prosperity and
happiness must be dear, therefore, to all our hearts.—
(Cheers.) With tho, health of the Princess we will join in
the toast all the other branches of the Royal Family.—
(Three times three, and great cheering.)
" The Army and Navy," and three times three.
The CHAIRMAN again rose amid loud cheering, and said,
they were met that evening to Odom a [Feat, he might
say a sacred duty—(Loud cheers)—to efitiee their sym-
pathy for the sufferings of a brave and gallant people,,es
(Cheers)—for the natives of a country who were unfor-
tunately now removed far from it, and who had been com-
pelled to abandon it because they loved it too well.—
(Cheers.) After alluding to the abandonment of Poland
during her-late struggle, the Noble Lord proceeded to say,
that it was for the best interests of Europe that the inde-
pendence of Poland should he established, and particularly
was it for the best interests of this country and of France
—(Cheers)—and especially, he maintained, as regarded
this country. They had been for a few years past much '
engaged with their own internal concerns, and perhaps they
had not paid that attention to events which occurred at tl
distance which they merited, and which their importance
demanded. The. policy to be observed by this country was
to avoid a war except when the paramount interest!' of
humanity and of liberty called on us to interfere.—(Loud
' cheers.) But there must be great exceptions, confident as
he was- that were they not to give the support of this
• country. to the struggles for liberty abroad, it would lore
much of that influence which it was their interest always
to maintain.-4 Cheers.) If there was any thing more
than another Which this country was called upon to sup-
port, it was the caus'e of Poland—(Great cheering)—and
he hoped that ere loth; the energies of this great nation
would be deVoted to so noble a purpose.—(Loud checritig,)
Too long had they allowed Poland to be oppressed under
the tyranny of Russia. It had been. at first deprived of its
rights as an independent nation by the infarnous partition.
Under the pretext of mediation, Russia introduce 4 her
Cossacks—under the plea of amity and of benefiting Pc-
land. But her object was to gratify her ambition, and she
grasped at her territories, while Austria shared in the un-
holy spoil.—(Cheers.) The people of Poland have endea-
voured to shake off the yoke, and they have displayed pa-
triotism unparalleled, he might say, in the history of the
world. But the odds were heavy against them. The power
of Russia and of other nations they could not make head
against, and their oppressors have as yet maintained their
mastery. At one time it was supposed that the Emperor
Alexander would have adopted a kind and conciliatory po-
licy towards Poland and their illustrious guest on his right,
Prince Czartoryski.—(Cheering for some minutes.) You
did well, gentlemen, said the Noble Chairman, to express
your feelings when I am about to mention the name of Csar-
toryski—(Cheering)--for it is a name dear to Poland, and
dearly cherished in that country.—(Cheering.) Your illus-
trious guest used all the influence he possessed to induce
Alexander to adopt kind policy towards his country, but in
vain have -all these efforts been made. At another time the
hopes of Poland were raised, but in vain did the Poles show
their bravery and-- their valour in the armies of France, for
wherever they have appeared, their bravery has been con-
spicuous in the field.—(Great cheering.) At the end of
the bloody war, which so long devastated Europe, this
country endeavoured to obtain terms for Poland, and sought
to replace her name in the history of nations, and I- con-
gratulate you, gentlemen, that .this country did adopt
that policy ; and it is creditable to the Statesman who re-
presented us on that occasion—a Statesman not remarkable
for his attachment to liberty, Lord Castlereagh—that he
adopted such a course for the benefit of Poland. That
Noble Lord and Prince Talleyrand did their utmost to re-
place Poland in her rights ; but the ambition of Prusiaa
and of Russia could not be overcome, and the return of
Napoleon from Elba was, along with other things, preju-
dicial to her regeneration. All that could be obtained
was the concession made by Alexander which gave nation-
.ality to Poland, Polish language, a Polish army, &e. For
some time this arrangement was of avail to Poland, and I
believe to the party subject to Prussia and • Austria, that
national institutions were guaranteed. But the nationality
which has never left the Poles was all that remained to
them.- They saw that those conditions, guaranteeing their
rights, were never fulfilled to them, and under. the .'Grand
Duke Constantine they were exposed to a series of aggres-
sions 'which led them to hope only by resisting them.
The success of the French nation in resisting an unconstitu-
tional act gave them fresh hope. The success against
tyranny had its effect upon Europe. It had its effect upon
Poland, and it shook off the tyranny of Constantine.—
(Loud cheers.) In a struggle, remarkable for the courage
of the Poles, and deVotion to their countryin a struggle
with a Power so far their superior in all the resources of
war, and in organization, they gave proofs of their devoted-
ness to liberty, and of their determination to fight to the
last for the independence of their native land. But they
were overpowered by numbers—they were overcome -at
length,. when the Russian eagle was humbled to the (lust.—
(Loud cheering.) And what has been the result of the
contest ? What did they experience when they were ob-
liged to .submit to superior numbers? Did the conqueror
show that magnanimity which should characterize a great
country ? I mean only a great territory, for great in any
other sense of the word they could not be called. Did the
,Poles experience this clemency ? • No ; but a series of op-
pressions and of cruelties' have been committed upon them
scarcely to be paralleled in history, which should excite the
contempt and disgust of every nation in Europe.—(Loud
cheering.) And yet, Gentlemen, we have looked on, I may
say, almost culpably looked on, while these atrocities have
been perpetrated, and while the brave people of Poland
were making so heroic an effort for their deliverance.
But I almost trust that Europe will soon
,see that a different
species of conduct must be exercised, and that a policy,
founded on the independence of Poland, will be the best to
restrain that grasping tyranny to which Europe is subjected.
—(Cheers.) The independence of Poland is the safest policy
for this country to pursue.—(Cheers.) We should, then have
a great country, able -to resist the encroachments of Russian
ambition, and aide to keep her back within her national boun-
daries, and to prevent her from menacing the rightS and liber-
ties of other nations.—(Cheers.) I trust, gentlemen, that this
feeling will soon animate all the countries of Euroae. That
they will see they have too long looked on with indifference,
and that they will act for the future upon wiser views aS re-
gards themselves, and more just and generous as regards
Poland.---(Loud cheers.) For experience has told us that
the policy of Russia is invariably constant in its object of
grasping on all sides at power.—(Cheers.) I remember
having heard of a Highland chieftain (he was -an .ancestor
of my own) who built his castle on the very verge of his ter-
ritory, and when he was asked why he had done so, lie said
he wanted to push forward—(Great laughter)—which simply
meant, he purposed to get as touch as he could of the pro-
perty •of his neighbour.—(Renewed laughter.) This has
been the conduct of Russia, and on all sides ; by land and
by sea Russia has gone on with her encroachments, and
it is impossible that the liberty of nations can be safe if
these encroachments are much longer submitted to.—
(Great cheering.) Looking at the sufferings which Po-
land has endured, and having directed your attention to
the grasping policy which Russia has adopted, and by which
she endangers the liberties of other nations of Europe, 1
come now to what is the immediate subject of our toast ;
and if you think, with me, that the independence of Poland
ought to be established, to vindicate the sacred rights of
nations—the sacred treaties which have been guaranteed
by this country, but which have beat shamefully broken
and set at nought—if you think with me 'tliat the indepene
denee of Poland ought to be established, to check the do-
minion Which Russia 'aims at, I beg ofyou to. join with
rue in pledging a bumper
,to the cause of POla'nd. Drnek
