GERNIAN PAPERS.

WARSAW, Msecn
To-day was published the following Royal manifesto.—" We,
by the Grace of God, Nicholas the First, Emperor and Auto-
crat of all the Russia', King of Poland, &c. &c. When, by
our Manifesto of the 25th January last year, we announced to
all our faithful subjects the march of our troops into the King-
dom of Poland, which was for a moment separated by rebellion
from our royal authority, we, at the same time, specified
our intention of establishing the future fate of that country,
on solid bases adapted to the welfare of our whole kingdom.
Now that an end has been put to the troubles by
arms, and that the nation which had been led away by
agitators, is restored to its duty and to tranquillity,
we have judged it necessary to carry into execution our plan
for the introduction of an order of things by which the tran-
quillity and union of the two nations which Divine Providence
has committed to our care, may be protected against new at.
tacks. The kingdom of Poland, conquered in 1815 by the vic-
torious arms of Russia, obtained at that time by the magnani-
mity of our august predecessor, not only the restoration of its
national existence, but its own laws, which were consecrated by
the constitutional charter. These benefits, however, could not
satisfy the eternal enemies of all order and regal authority,
who, obstinately persevering in their treasonable plans, did not
for a moment cease to dream of the separation of the two na.
lions subject to our sceptre, and ventured in their pride to
abuse the benefits of the Restorer of their country by employ-
ing the very laws and privileges which his powerful arms had
generously conferred on them, for the overthrow of his
great work. Bloodshed was the cor•.saquence of these
intrigues. The tranquillity and happiness which the king.
dom of Poland had enjoyed in a degree that it had
never before known, vanished amidst a civil war and ge.
neral desolation. All these misfortunes are now past. The
kingdom of Poland, again subject to our sceptre, will recover
its
tranquillity and again flourish in the bosom of peace which is
restored to it under the auspices of a vigilant government.
We therefore, in our paternal solicitude for the welfare of our
faithful subjects, consider it to be our most sacred duty to
prevent by all means in our power the return of disasters si.
milar to those which have befallen them, by depriving the evil.
disposed of the means by which, as it was said, they succeeded in
disturbing the public peace. As we besides desire to insure
to our subjects in the kingdom of Poland, the permanency of
all the'happiness that is necessary for the welfare of every indi-
vidual in particular, and of the country in general, namely, the
security of persons and property, liberty of conscience, and all the
laws and privileges of the cities and communes, in order that the
kingdom of Poland, with a separate administration adapted to its
wants, may not cease to be an integral part of our empire; and that
the inhabitants of that kingdom may henceforth form, together
with the Russians, one nation, bound together by uniform and
national sentiment :

" We, in conformity with these principles, have resolved, by
our gracious organic statute, granted on this day, to introduce
a new form and order in the administration of our kingdom of
Poland.

" Given at St. Petersburgh, on the 14th (alth) February, in
the year of our Lord 1832, and the 7th of our reign.
" By the Emperor and King,
(Signed) " NICHOLAS.
" The Minister Secretary of State,
" Counl STEPHEN GRABOWSKI."
To the above Manifesto are annexed the organic statutes of
the kingdom of Poland, of which the following is the sub-
stance :—The kingdom of Poland is for ever incorporated with
the Russian empire, and forms an integral part of it. The
kingdom will have its separate administration, its own
civil and criminal code of laws; and the laws and pri-
vileges of the towns and communes remain in force.—
The Coronation of the Emperor of Russia and King of Po-
land will in future take place at Moscow, in one and the same
act, in the presence of Deputies appointed for the purpose. In
case of a Regency in the empire, the powers of the Regent
will extend to the kingdom of Poland. The freedom of reli.
glens worship is guaranteed ; the Catholic religion, as being
that of the majority of the inhabitants, will be the object of the
especial care and favour of the Government ; personal liberty
is guaranteed.
No person can be arrested, except in the cases and with the
forms provided for and prescribed by the laws ; and the arres.
ted must be brought before a competent tribunal, within three
days at the most. The punishment of confiscation can be ap-
plied only in cases of crimes against the State of the first class.
The Press will be subject to some indispensable restrictions.
The kingdom of Poland will contribute its proportionate share
towards the general expenditure of the empire. The taxes exist.
ing up to Nov. 1830 will be continued. The commercial relations
of the kingdom and (mpire shall be conforma'3le to the interests
of both. There shall be only one army for Russia and Poland.
The Emperor will determine in the sequel the share of the
kingdom of Poland in the composition of the army. The in.
habitants of both countries may be reciprocally- naturalized.
The supreme administration is in the Council, at which the
Governor presides, which consists of the Directors-General, the
Controller. General, and other members, appointed by the So.
vereign. The Council of Administration proposes candidates
for the offices of Archbishops, Bishops, General Directors, &c.,
who may be chosen among all his subjects, without distinction.
There is also a Council of State, which directs the administra.
tive legislation. All laws of general importance, as well as
the budget, will be sent for examination and approbation to the
Council of State of the Emperor. In all affairs relative to the
administration, tne Polish language is to be used. The ancient
division of the country remains, as well as the Commissions of
the Woiwodeships. The assemblies of the Nobles, of the Com.
munes, and the Councils of the Woiwodeships to be continual.
We shall communicate the entire statutes in detail, in our
next.—Prussian States Gazette, March 30.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 341 —Th e reports of the commence-
ment of hostilities are not confirmed. They appear to have
been caused by some extraordinary movements among the Bel.
gian troops, and the precautions judged necessary on our part,
among which is, that our army has taken up new positions, and
that the inhabitants of Breda have been ordered to lay in pro-
visions and fuel for three months.

LISBON, Maacit 27.—The King has signed a decree, by
which he has thought fit to order that companies of artillery
of the militia shall be organized on the whole sea-coast of the
kingdom, to assist in the defence of the batteries.—Lisbon
Gazette, March 28.

The Lisbon Gazelle, from 6th to 30th March, both inclu-
sive, contain lists of patriotic gifts and loyal addresses from some
cities, but no political news.

DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND.—The
Anniversary Dinner of this Institution was celebrated last
night at the Freemasons' Tavern. At the request of Has
Royal Higness the Duke of Sussex, who was prevented by indis.
position from attending, the Earl of Mu!grave presided. The
number of persons present was more than 200.
Count Orloff and suite visited Covent-garden
Theatre on Thursday, to witness the performance of Mr. She-
ridan Knowles's new play of the MuneliGack. Another diplo.
matte agent, we understand, is expected to arrive in town in a
few days, charged with despatches for his Excellency from the
Court of St. Petersburgh Earl Grey gave a splendid banquet
on Thursday, in Downing-street, to the Count; and M. Falck
the Netherlands Ambassador, has issued cards of invitation
for a grand dinner party on Monday next, in Portland-place, to
meet his Excellency. The dinner to be given today by her
Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, to the Russian Envoy,
it is understood will be very splendid. Earl Grey, the Lord
Chancellor, Lord Goderich, Lord Palmerston, and several of
the Foreign Ambassadors and their ladies, are expected to be
present. The Earl and Countess of Mulgrave, the Countess of
Carlisle, and Lady Wharncliffe, were among the select party at
dinner invited to meet his Excellency at Devonshire House on
Wednesday. It is the intention of his Grace the Lord Cham-
berlain to give a similar entertainment to the Count and a dis.
tinguished circle tomorrow, in Piccadilly. It will be recol.
lected that the Noble Duke was appointed by his late Majesty
to attend the coronation of the Emperor Nicholas in 1826, his
Grace being invested with the rank of Ambassador Extraordi.
nary, and on that occasion he was introduced to the Count.—
Lord Morpeth, Lord Geo. Win. Russell, Lord Robt. Grosvenor,
and Lord Cavendish, who composed his Grace's suite, were also
frequently invited to the abode of his Excellency at Moscow.--
The Duke of Devonshire is a Knight of the Russian Orders of
St. Alexander Newski arid of St. Anne, which distinctions were
conferred upon him by the present Emperor.
Letters patent have passe(' the Great Seal of
Ireland, appointing ','alter Bourne, Esq., Clerk of the Crown
of the King's Bench, in the room of Lords*Henry Seymour and
Robert Seymour Conway, deceased.—Dubflis Evening Mail.
IRISH EDUCATION.---PRESBYTERY OF
EniNacitoa.—The Presbytery steered a middle course on Mon.
day. They neither adopted Dr. Lee's motion to petition against the new plan of Irish education, nor Mr. Grey's to abstain from
meddling in the matter, but they referred the subject to a Com,
mittee to seek farther information—of which they seem to have
some need. Dr. Lee was candid enough to admit that the
much abused system of Irish education originated with a former
Ministry. Dr. Chambers went further. " The fact," he said,
" was too glaring that a great deal more of politics than of reli-
gion is 'nixed up with the opposition made to the scheme of
education in Ireland, and thousands who do not care one straw
for religion agitate this question in the hope that it may even-
tually prove the overthrow of the Ministry." He added that
" Government was now engaged in a problem ofgreat difficulty,
and their efforts ought not to impede its exertions." This is
the language of honesty and good sense. As to extracts from
the Bible, he says, he had produced a volume himself, and there
could be no harm in them " if they were not intended to super.
sede the word of God," which in this case they are not, for the
children will have the entire volume put into their hands at
least one day in the week, exclusive of Sunday. Dr. C. thinks
the Government should have sanctioned a plan " founded on
the principles of truth," which would have worked its way ist
spite of the Catholic priests. But who shall determine what
are " the principles of truth ?" The counsel is as indefinite at
that of the Egyptian sage in Rasselas, who, promising to teach
the true road to happiness, told his disciples to "follow nature,"
leaving them to fled out what " nature" was, as they best could:
