POLISH EXILES.

(From the Polish Kronika, Oct. lri.)
The -Muscovite Government proceeds with unabated
zeal in its internal scheme of exterminating its Polish po-
pulation. By a late ukase a levy of recruits was ordered
to be me .de in the soi-disant kingdom of Poland, in the
proportl'.m of 24 in 1,000 of the male population, which is
nearly tbe double of that levied under the Grand Duke
Cone.antine's regime. Soon after, and during a consider-
abl'e tim‘announcements after announcements were read
in the Warsaw Universal .Tournal offering tenders for
krnishiog the Government with military cloaks, caps, uni-
forms, &c. Some miglat imagine that those articles were
required to clothe the recruits who had already been lev;.ed
conformably to the above ukase. By no means. We have
just received intelligence from a well-authenticated'ouarter,
that those uniforms are preparing for the Poles var., had not
yet 'been enrolled, and who are thought fit for enlistment ;
tb.ey are doomed to become 'Russian recruits, because it
!pleased the Muscovite Government to declare them "as
-persons wanting employment." The mimber of such indi-
viduals, to judge from the uniforms already prepared,
amounts to about 3,000 men. Nicholas, therefore, within
the space of one. year, has converted 10,000 of the Polish
youth to increase the number of his soldiers and his slaves.
This must be a great drain upon a population amounting
to less than 4,000,300. The orders of the Government
for supplies of uniforms have always been ominous. The
transport of children was regularly prerieded by a requi-
sition for supplies of a certain number of clothes for those
unhappy objects df the paternal care of the northern
despot.
AUSTRIAN GALICIA, OCT. Not long ago two in-
-habitants of Poland, who had no part in the late Polish re-
volution, and who therefore were entitled to be regarded by
the 'Emperor Nicholas as under protection, had entered
into a written agreement, in virtue of which the one, Mr.
M—, purchased of the other, Mr. P—, a considerable
estate, situate in Galicia (Austrian Poland), taking upon
himself to clear the debts with which the estate was
,charged, and to pay the remainder by annual instalments
into the hands of its owner. By virtue of the contract,
of the validity of which nobody could doubt, Mr. M—
spared no trouble, in order to free his new estate of any
burdens, in finding out Mr. P—'s creditors, even those in
remote places, and laid out upwards of 1,500,000 Polish
florins in discharging them. One formality, however, re-
mained to be cloue on the part of Mr. M—, which was the
registering the estate in the name of the purchaser into
the registration-books at Lemberg, the seat of the Govern-
ment of Galicia, but on presenting himself before the Ma-
gistrates of the town, to his great surprise he learned that
the
,contract behad conclpded was null anclovoid, and,,,tlP-A

ADDRESS TO THE KING.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—T0-day the united deputa-
tions of the two Chambers of the States-Ger.eral, with
Count de Reede, President of the First Chamber, at its
head, presented to his !Majesty the following address, in
answer to the speech frees the Throne :
" Sire—lt is always, with feeling of satisfaction that the
States-General, at th•: opening of their session, offer to your
Majesty the tribute of their respect and their attachment.
They rejoice at the opportunity of again doing so to-day,
and express their gratitude for the communications which
they have received from your Majesty on this occasion.
If, on the one hand, they have learned with satisfaction
from those communications that our relations with foreign
Towers are of an amicable nature, on the other hand they
_must lament that the political situation of the kingdom, in
-respect to the interruption of tbe relations betweert the
Netherlands and Belgian', has ' not yet undergone any
change, and that there is no favourable prospect of arranging
speedily and wit'a digrAty.these relations, which becomes
more and more necessary to the nation.
" They rejoice in the well-known intentions of your Ma-
jesty to rend►,r the burthens of these extraordinary circum-
stances less sensible, and they congratulate themselves in
this point of view that your Majesty's wish to relieve the
tax-payers is favoured by the increase of our East India pro-
gluet,!. The extension of furloughs to the greatest possible
degree, and the disbanding of part of the militia, will also
greatly contribute to this result, and give the States-Gene-
ral the assurance that every thing will be done to lessen
the burthens of the nation. With your Majesty we appre-
ciate the grounds 14. gratitude afforded by the internal situa-
tion of the kingdom with respect to the good harvest, to
the progress of our manufactures, the increasing activity of
maritime conwierce and navigation, the satisfactory result
of the fisheries, the zealous cultivation of the arts and sci-
ences, and lastly, the opportunities which all these circum-
stances afford to the men who have left the army of obtain-
ing their livelihood by profitable employment.
" We arc also grateful that our dikes and other bulwarks
have not materially suffered during the past year.
" We are happy in the assurances given us by your Ma-
jesty that order and regularity continue to prevail in our in-
ternal administration, that our army and navy continue to
give the most laudable proofs of discipline and zeal, and that
the improvement of the internal communications by means
of canals and roads is an object of the constant solicitude of
the Government.

" We have at the same time received with satisfaction
your Majesty's communications concerning the tranquillity
'which our transmarine possessions enjoy ; and we look for-
ward with the most livcly interest to the communications
which your Majesty announces respecting our East Indian
dominions.

" The favourable prospects which your Majesty holds
out respecting several subjects connected with the Budget
encourage us in the examination of the provincial laws pre-
sented to us, in considering which we shall pay attention
both to the interest of the tax payers, and to those of the
Treasury and public credit.

" We shall also endeavour duly to weigh the interests of
agriculture and commerce in deliberating on the measures
proposed by your Majesty to better the situation of the far-
mers, who are suffering from the present state of things.
" The legislative regulations for the cultivation of waste
lands which we have to expect from your Majesty will pro-
vide for a want which has long been felt.

" Your Majesty will find us always ready to co-operate
with zeal in hastening the wished-for completion of our na-:
tional Legislature by the conclusion of the several codes.
" Like your Majesty, having our eyes to Divine Provi-
dence, and jointly labouring in everything that may promote
the welfare of the nation which we represent, we cherish the
hope that, preserving its present privileges, it will speedily
obtain the recognition of its just rights, and the accomplish-
ment of its equitable wishes."
The deputation that presented the above address reported
that his Majesty had been pleased to return the following
answer :

" That his Majesty beheld with joy the unanimity of the
sentiments expressed in this address by the States-General ;
that he again learnt with satisfaction their ardent desire to
co-operate in promoting the public welfare ; and that he
implored the divine blessing on their deliberations, that
they, combined with his own efforts, may tend to the good
cf the country, and the prosperity of the worthy inha-
bitants."

Several petitions were then presented, one of which from
Colonel Gustayson (the ex-King of Sweden) again com-
plains of the Courts of Justice in our country.
The public sitting being ended, the Chamber formed it-
self into a secret Committee, in which it is said a communi-
cation was made by the Government respecting the state of
our colonies and their revenues.

(From the Augsburgh Gazette of the 27th ult.)
VIENNA, Om 20.—The Constantinople mail of the
7th brings the news which we had received before of the
submission of Scutari and the pacification of Albania. The
Sultan had sent a Tartar to the Vizier of Rumelia to ex-
press his satisfaction at the result of the expedition, and to
recommend him to act with clemency, as the Government
could not but wish that only the actual authors of the
suffering to which all had been exposed should be punished.
We may, therefore, suppose that no re-action is to be
feared, and few or no persons will be punished, as it has
not yet been discovered who are, properly speaking, the
authors of the troubles. This happy change in the man-
ners of the Turks, who but lately. were used after victory
to treat their disarmed enemies without mercy (as in the
Greek war), is a proof of the progress of civilizatiom
among them. New instructions have been sent to the Ot-
toman squadron on the Albanian coast ; it was believed
that it would go to Tripoli. The foreign Ambassadors
have been informed that the blockade of the coast of Al-
bania ceases from the Ist of next month. Count Strogo-
noff, who was sent by the Emperor Nicholas to compliment
King Otho on his accession, has arrived at Constantinople
on his return, and been presented to the Sultan. It was
known that Lord Durham had arrived at Odessa, where he
intended to make as short a stay as possible, and then pro-
ceed without delay to St. Petersburgh. He will therefore
scarcely accompany the Emperor on his tour in the southern
provinces, and not have the honour of paying his respects
to him till after his return to St. Petersburgh.
(From the Journal de FranAjbrt of the 24th ult.)
FRANKFORT, OcT. 23.—We have read with extreme
surprise in several German journals an article dated Berlin,
October 19, which says, that among the measures resolved
on at Toplitz was one by which the military force of the
German States is to be considered one army, under the
command, not of the States themselves ,but of the Confede-

ration jointly, and that t he Leg r
illative Assemblies were to
I
have nothing to do with discus: ing the Budget of the War
Department.
The answer to this tale is eas77. Our correspondent at
Toplitz, who is ye ry v ;ell info rre-ed, gives it in the following
sentence, which Ive give wo r d for word :
" You may affirm, witkoul . fear of being mistaken, that
in the conferenccos at ToPD z no question whatever relative
to Gerwasbrougroghlt; forward."
ndless report is, that the great
question 'of literary itroT
~erty in Germany was discussed at
Anothery equally
Topaz.
'this is a question in which the German Confederation
alone is concerned ; rr e repeat it, no German question was
or could be examined at Toplitz. Such questions belong to
the Confederation, ar ,d everybody knows that there was no
representative of the Confederation at Toplitz.
The Memorial de •la Sombre observes, that the late ordi-
nance of the King 4 of the French, ma!dng various Changes
in the tariff of irr 4 'oft duties, conte:lns several regulations
that are of great ..;,,mportanee to P,elgium. The first is the
extension given to the line of 'Frontier by which our cast-
iron may enter France at the, minimum duty, by which the
difference for -our iron will 1-,o .55 per cent., and besides this,
as it may no.,v be importer-1
into France by the Sombre and
the Meuse., the expences of carriage will undergo an enor-
mous reduction.

which they well knew the representative of the Xing et'
Enland at the Court of Russia was embarked, not to
him-tour the flag of Great Britain with a salute. Count
Woronzoff having a few days previously left town, Lord
• Durham addressed a letter to the Vice-Governor, complain-
ing of the unceremonious and unexpected breach of etiquette,
and requeSting an explanation. In answer to this mote,
the Vice-Governor observed, that as the Pluto on her
arrival into port hoisted neither -pendant nor any one
of the three. flags distinctive of the British navy,----
as it had neither guns on board nor any of the ex-
ternal appearances of a man of-war, he had been led
to consider it as a private vessel, and to presume
that Lord Durham's intentions were on his arri-
val to keep the incognito. In answer to this note, Lord
Durham begged to be informed whether the Russian Go-
vernment did not consider the British Admiralty flag,
which the Pluto hoisted, entitled to a salute ? The Vice-
Governor replied by assuring his Lordship that the Admi-
ralty flag of England having never before appeared in the
Black Sea, he had hitherto been perfectly unacquainted with
it. Doubts, he added, might be started as to the pro-
priety of saluting a flag hoisted in a foreign port only on
transports belonging to the British Government ; but out of
deference for Lord Durham's opinion, he preferred at once
abiding by his wishes, and would without further delay
order its being saluted. Neither these apologies nor the
salute succeeded in satisfying the noble Earl.
It is said be sent on shore despatches to the Emperor's
address, and also to Count Woronzoff's, requesting th,.
Vice-Governor to forward them by a messenger at the
British Embassy's expense. These despatches arc of course
supposed to contain a report on the mode of his reception
at Odessa. _

It would appear that the quarantine director sought to
subject not only every one of -the persons belonging to the
embassy, but the Ambassador himself, to the revolting and
indecent ordeal of the Spogiio. No one but a Russian can
patiently allow his person to be submitted to the search as
prescribed by the sanatory regulation:, of that country, yet
no traveller passing from Turkey into Russia is allowed to
enter the precincts of the Lazard without fully satisfying
the curiosity of these plaguy investigations.
Vessaf Effendi returned from Scodra on the 3d inst., and
went directly on his arrival to the palace of the Sultan, who
received him with much kindness. A magnificent decora-
tion in brilliants was awarded him as recompense for his
services. Vessaf Effendi is said to be the bearer of documents
which prove beyond doubt the connexion existing between
Mehemet Atli and the Albanian rebels.

The Greek patriarchate has, during the last week, been
the theatre of the most violent dissensions between the Pa-
triarch and the membCrs of the synod. The dispute between
the holy father and the 12 archbishop rose to so scanda-
lous a pitch on Saturday, that after insulting him in the.most
opprobrious terms, ten out of the number said to his face
that they could no longer recognize him as chief of the ortho-
dox church, and declared him to be an antichrist usurper.
On leaving the patriarchate, they convoked an assembly,
where every influential Fanariot was invited, and signed
a petition to the Porte, soliciting the deposing of a
man whom the Greek nation declared unworthy of
acting any longer as their spiritual chief. It is not
known yet what determination the Sultan will adopt, the
present Patriarch being a man who possesses the con-
fidence of the Turkish Ministry, owing not only to the
probity of his character, but also to the proofs he has given
of not being, like his predecessor, devoted to the interests
of Russia. These motives led the Sultan, a year ago, to
propose him to the Synod's approbation, as successor of
Constantios,'who, on ascertaining that the Porte had ac-
quired the conviction of the intimacy of his connexions with
Russia, had the good sense to solicit his release from office.
' It is to be hoped that the Sultan will on this occasion dis-
play firmness of character, and not allow himself to be in-
timidated by the threats of Russia. The question about
to be decided is highly important to Turkey and to Russia.
It is to know whether the political feelings of the Greek
clergy and its Chief are to be Russian or Turkish. M.
Boutenieff is fully aware of its importance. Confident that
the intrigues and gold of his party would secure success to
his cause, he hitherto kept himself in the back ground, but
lately he has thought it necessary to rush himself into the
thickest of the fight. He has reminded the Porte of the
article in the treaty of Kinardj, which stipulates that the
administration of the spiritual affairs of the Greek church is
to remain entirely independent of the Porte, and solely in-
trusted to the direction of the Synod.
Baron Strogonoff has just arrived from Athens.
Bagdad, according to the intelligence received in Syria,
bad for some time been the scene of daily frays between the
Bedouins and the Sultan's troops. The Pasha had with-
drawn his forces from the portion of the town situate on
the western banks of the Tigris, and abandoned it to the
rebels. He had applied for assistance to Redschid Pasha,
whose head-quarters are now at Moussoul. Two regiments
are shortly to be sent from Constantinople to reinforce his
army. It appears certain that the troubles in Mesopo-
tamia are chiefly fomented by Mehemet Ali's agents. His
object evidently is unceasingly to occupy an attention which
might prove fatal to his designs, were it to be permitted to
concentrate itself against him. Ibrahim openly avows that
he has his eye on Bagdad, and that his first step, on being
attacked by the Sultan, will be to annex this possession to
his dominions. _ _ _

Colonel Chesney is yet at Bir, gradually recovering from
the effect of a coup de soled, which placed his life in the
most imminent danger. His negotiations with the Arab
wandering tribes had hitherto been highly unsatisfactory.
They are decidedly averse to the steam-navigation of the
Euphrates, and in fact to every innovation tending to in-
troduce civilization in the country. They have expressed
the determination of impeding the passage of the river by
throwing rocks in its bed.
The condition of Ibrahim's army is far superior to that of
the Sultan's. The spirit which animates it is represented
as highly favourable to Ibrahim's designs. The means which
he has studiously employed to impede the formation of good
intelligence between the Syrians and his soldiers have suc-
ceeded admirably, perhaps beyond his expectations. The
most cordial hatred exists between them. The impression
under which every soldier hourly lives of being encamped in
an enemy's country, watching an opportunity to satisfy his
revenge, has caused him to identify his interests with those
of his commanders, and to appreciate the necessity of dis-
cipline and union. Ibrahim neglects none of the means
tending to improve his army, and conciliate the attachment
of the men. The Egyptians, who formerly could not be
promoted beyond the rank of lieutenant, owing to a late re-
gulation, may aspire also to the rank of major and captain.
Ibrahim had lately received from Europe the accoutrements
necessary for the formation of a regiment of cuirassiers.
Ibrahim's administration in Syria continues to be as op-
pressive as it has been for the last two years. The inhabi-
tants of the villages are hourly torn away from their occu-
pations, and subjected to corvoes, without receiving any re-
muneration for their labour, save blows. The Pasba has
