P. S.—lt is certain that the persons who endeavoured to
make z loan for Don Carlos have not succeeded.

The freedom of the City of Edinburgh was pre-
sented, on Tuesday last, to those illustrious Polish
patriots Prince CZARTORYSKI and the gallant young
Count ZAMOYSKI, his nephew. Both expressed a

high sense of the honour conferred on them, in an ani-
mated speech, in which they expressed their firm con-
viction that Poland would again be restored _to her
ancient independence. We hope so too, though what
with lukewarm friends on the one hand, and powerful
enemies on the other, we fear there is at present but
a slender chance of such a desirable consummation.

The extraordinary Supplement to tile Allgenzeine
Zeitung of the Bth inst. contains an article fabricated
by command of his Excellency the Chancellor of
Russia, in the form of a " letter from the Rhine,"

commenting upon the strictures of the Liberal Press of
Great Britain and France on the speech delivered by
the Imperial MUSCOVITE to the Municipality of

Warsaw. The writer, or his employer rather, has
tact enough to perceive the necessity of appearing un

connected with the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ; bu

with all his sophistry he cannot conceal from us the
fact of his being no more than the tool of the AUTO-

CRAT. It were as well if the CZAR suffered his
celebrated speech to be forgotten. There are more
things than Squire Sancho wot of, which become the
more unsavoury the more they are stirred. The speech.
of the CZAR is one of these. To prove this we shall
make a few extracts from this explanatory article. As
a whole its insertion would only encumber our colunms.
Mark the following :
" But this bitterly censured speech pronounces with sin-
cerity and truth a dreadful necessity. It is a hard and
cruel truth, which cannot be controverted ; but does -it
arise from the will of man, or from a necessity from which
the will of man is not answerable ? A free Poland, not
co-equal with, but under Russia, subject to the Sovereign
of Russia! A conquered people that have to enjoy liberal
institutions, united with the victorious State which recog-
nises the will of its Emperor as the supreme law, and can-
not pretend to such institutions without high treason ! And
these institutions, and the Constitution that is to secure
them, placed under the guarantee of a Monarch, who, ab-
solute in his own country, is to govern a divided, conquered,
country on principles which do not apply to the conquer-
ing—the ruling people. State policy, which attempted to
unite what was most incompatible—which Combined what
was most dissimilar, has to answer for this contradiction,
this necessary conflict, and all the evils that have arisen or
may yet arise from it. If you put the wolf and the lamb
together, you must not wonder if the latter become the
victim ; as the old fable even tells you how the, lamb at the
lower part of the stream, troubled the water that the wolf
drank above. But Russia, to which this comparison does
not apply, has done nothing to Poland but what the stronger
that meets with the weaker always has done—as long' as
there have been nations and states—and still does. Is the
doctrine so new, that it takes your wisdom by suprise ?"

The above is what our Tory Contemporary, the Post,
calls " a clear and forcible specimen of controversial
composition." Now we ask, supposing all that is here
put forth to be correct, was not the main fact which it

embodies known to NICHOLAS when he swore to
maintain the Constitution of Poland? Did he not
know the impossibility .which is here stated, and
knowing it, was he not guilty of the crime of wilful
sacrilegious perjury when he accepted the Crown of

Poland, on conditions which he knew he could not
observe ? Either NICHOLAS knew that Poland
could not enjoy her Constitution, or he did not. If he
knew that she could not enjoy it under his sway; then
was he guilty of a solemn deliberate act of perjury,
when he swore to maintain, and received the Crown on
that condition. If he knew not of the existence of

the State necessity which must inevitably deprive Po-
land of. her Constitution during her forced connection,
with Russia, then is he guilty of wilful and delibe-
rate perjury during every instant he retains the Clown
of Poland, after finding that he cannot com-
ply with the conditions upon which he re-
ceived it. In either case the conduct of the
CZA R is nearly the. same ; and to the " writer from
the Rhine" we leave the task of extricating him from
-between the horns of this dilemma.

But the assumption in the above paragraph is a
qualified falsehood. There is nothing at all impossible,
or even surprising, in the fact of an absolute Sove-
reign being likewise the constitutional 'KING of a free

people. We question if there be a monarch in Europe
possessing colonial territory, whose regal powers are
the same throughout his dominions. The King of
ENGLAND is a very different functionary from the King
of HANovER ; and even our Government acts under
the mediation of those Saints in Malta whom it de-

nounces as of Papal creation in London.
The following gives us no very high opinion of

NN'riter's sagacity :

" The speech of the Emperor, considered as tin orato

cal exercise or a diplomatic device, is liable to much criti-
cism ; but for that very reason I commend it. Those in
whose eyes polished manners, political finesse, and Govern-
ment acts are above everything may believe, with a cele-
brated statesmen, that language was given to man to con-
ceal his faults. What does the Emperor say ? " You
wished to see me, Gentlemen ; well, then I receive you.
You have wished to make a speech to me ; but, to spare
you a lie, I would not have this speech addressed to rne,
JO: I know that your sentiments are not suchTas you would
make me believe.' Was that not the case ?-• Do not those
who blame the Emperor esteem the Poles for the very sen-
timents which they, as well as the Emperor, suppose them
to entertain. Is it otherwise ? Can it be otherwise ?
Or was it wished to bear lies—lies which in such cases
are spoken with barefaced levity, or as a mere form of
civility ?
So the suppositions of the English and French Jour-
nals with respect to the state of public feeling in War-
saw is confirmed. The citadel is really required to
keep the inhabitants in a state of subordination. This
is important, and we shall not lose sight of it. Now,
the Municipality of Warsaw is wholly composed of the
creatures of the Russian Government, and yet so in-
tense is the hatred of the people of Poland against the
CZAR, that even these functionaries partAe of it to
such a degree as to be unworthy of credit, when com-
plimenting the AUTOCRAT on his presence among
them. If such be the state of Polish feeling among
the functionaries of the Capital, what must it not be
among the oppressed Poles in the provinces ? Mark
the two-fold threat contained in the following passage t
" The territory of Poland was fixed by its geographical
position by the neighboured of the great Powers that sur-
round. It was doomed to be the Ireland of Rusiia. If
we had wished to hinder this we should have thought of it
before. It is probably now too late, and even Constanti-
nople may share the fate of Warsaw. Poland is not yet
depressed so low as Ireland, but it inay come to this if
the promises of foreigners of the splendid prospects which
they hold out in high-sounding speeches and articles should
make an impression on the generous sons of that unhappy
country."
-The territory of Poland was fixed by its geogra-
phical position to be the barrier of Russia ; to check
her rapacious encroachments ; and to keep her savage
hordes within their natural limits. But what means
this threat against Constantinople ? What could have
• suggested to the mind of the writer the idea of con-
iyieeting the fate of the capital of the Ottoman empire
wi ith that of unhappy Poland ? This was not done
ina -dvertently, and it behoves England and France to
enqur;re into the cause of it. Is there indeed an ar-
mamei.,it preparing in Russia which is designed to sack
the city of Constantinople ? Such an•announcement
would not surprise us.- It would only be a just judg-
ment on Englim:4l and France, for tacitly suffering the
Russian Imperial 8a ,vage to tear to pieces, and scatter
to the four winds of Heaven, the Constitution
guaranteed by them to the brave, but betrayed people
of Poland. • :

Arrivals tins morning iroin Lisbon, announce the
terrianatioß of the treaty Qf marriage between Her

Most Faithful Majesty DONNA MARIA, Queen of
Portugal, and' HiS Serene Highness Prince FERDI-
NAND-AUGUSTUS of Saxe Coburg. The contract
for the marriage was signed- by the representatives of
her Majesty and the young Prince at Coburg, on the
7th of December, and the marriage will be celebrated
by proxy, as soon as the intelligence can be officially
communicated to the Court of Lisbon. The PRINCE

himself will sail for Portugal, with as little delay as
possible ; and it is hoped that the termination of this
affair, will tend to extinguish the spirit of intrigue
now manifested in every act of the Portuguese Go-
vernment.

Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a letter to Dr.
ARTHUR JAMES BEAUMONT, in reply to one sent
to him from Paris, from the prisoners confined in
St. Pelagie, requesting him to become their advocate
on their approaching trial, which he declines, in
consequence of his inability to address the Court in
French with the requisite fluency. In this letter Mr.
O'CONNELL denies that he is at all favourable to a
republic in France, and observes,—" You have no
adequate representation—no sufficient cheek to the
avarice of your deputies—no reasonable protection for
your personal safety, and your properties are at the
mercy of a majority of your Legislature, which majo-
rity is actually in the pay of vour hard-hearted Ruler.
Your Press is bound in fetters of steel, and Frenchmen
are insulted by that atrocious libel law, which directly
and in terms violates the charter, and tells you that

you are too worthless to be alloWed to listen to the
truth. It is quite true that the French are the slaves
of him who ought to be their servant—but still I am
convinced that a Republic is not the remedy. The
territory of France must be distributed into federal
Rtatcs before it could form a peaceable and parental
Republic. Liberty now requires the localization of
power, not its centralization—besides, allow me to say
that there is not in France enough of political know-
ledge, or enough of political morals, or enough, above
all, of religion for a Republic. Believe me, that the
sole, safe basis of a great Republic can be found only
in the deepest sense of accountability for an eternity of
weal or of woe, which religion alone can inculcate and

preserve."

THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
There were considerable arrivals of all kinds of grain last
week, and a large return of Flour, and the trade throughout
the week was very dull. This evening the fresh supplies
of all kinds of grain were moderate, and the attendance
of buyers was tolerably good, but they purchased very can •
tiously. Superfine samples of Wheat obtained last week's prices,
but all other qualities met a very dull sale, at Is. per quarter
reduction from last quotations. Barley is so plentiful that the
factors were obliged to submit to a reduction of 2s. per qr. to
effect sales. Beans and Pease remain as last quoted with a slack
sale. Oats arc not so abundant as other Grain, and the prices
remain as last week with a dull sale. In the Flour trade we
note continued dullness at former prices.
