length we determined to accept them, then even
their name must be changed, and Poles must be
called Cossacks of the Sultan ! Yet, even in this
disguise, they were almost as great a terror to the
CZAR as the beggary of his treasury and the loss
of nearly half a million of men. What might not
have been the gain to the' Allies, leaving out of
question the gain to Poland, had the aid of
Poland been early and efficiently invoked ! Let,
it not be forgotten also, that six thousand Poles
offered to desert from their. oppressors, and to
lead the storming of Sebastopol, at a time when
they would have saved us half our army, and—
were rejected ! !
Neither let it be forgotten that the Poles, with

the Circassians, are lasting monuments of English
weakness or blindness at Paris. Russia then lay
completely at the feet of the Allies, a convicted
and an arrested criminal. She had neither men
nor money to carry on another campaign, and the
Allies knew it ; yet there was nothing but ful-
some adulation on the part of Louis NAPOLEON,
who, of course, had more real sympathy with a
beaten despot, than with a constitutional Monarch;
and nothing, we regret to say, but timid yielding
on the part of Lord CLARENDON. During all
these meetings nothing was stipulated for Poland,
any more than for Circassia. All was left to the
tender mercies of a second EMPEROR " with mild
eyes ;" who soon showed by his brutal threats at
Warsaw, that he was a worthy son of his father.
The result is, that Poland is left to be denational-
ised at lei Sure by Russia, to sink into a province
of a barbarous empire, and to be the basis of
future attacks by Russia on the liberties of Europe.
Nor was this done ignorantly. Lord PALMER-
STON acknowledged in the House oft Commons,
that Warsaw was a continental Sebastopol, a

standing menace to the liberties of Europe. Why,
then, did he not, when Russia was prostrate, and
we at our strongest,' demand war or the emanci-
pation of Warsaw and the Poles
Some of the speakers at the meeting appeared
to have a confidence, which we can hardly share, in
the sentiments of Lord PALMERSTON in regard

both to Poland and Circassia. Mere sentiment of a
liberal and sympathising kind he must indeed feel.

He could not be an Englishman without it ; for,
during the war, from the peasants and farmers of
Lincolnshire, to the Peers, with Lord LYNDHURST
at their head, warm sympathy and willingness to
fight yet longer, were warmly expressed on behalf
of Poland. Lord PALMERSTON never took, how,
ever, one step in favour of the Poles, or of the
Circassians. He passed them over at the peace ;
and he is now in opposition to France, and in co-
operation with Austria, advocating the very course
with the Principalties which is at once inimical
to their liberties, gratifying to Austria, and dis-
advantageous to Poland !
That the late storm should have passed over
Europe and done nothing .for Poland, is indeed
remarkable. It swept away 500,000 of the
troops of her oppressor, yet the yoke was left
upon her. One campaign more, and that yoke
would have snapped. On that account, as we be-
lieve, Austria mediated, Russia yielded but too
gladly ; and England and France truckled to Ger-
many and despotism. Let Poland continue true
to herself, and jtho Nemesis of tyrants and their
statesmen may yet be at band.

His Excellency the Ambassador of France and the
Countess de Pereigny returned to town yesterday morn-

Esq., Professor Hart, R.A., Henry R. Keeling, Rol„
vice-president, B. S. Phillips, Sze., and numerous friends
of the charity. The various speeches dwelt upon the
advantages of education, which were aptly illustrated
by the introduction of 200 children of both sexes, who e
appearance, beaming with intellect, were the admir
tion of the company, particulary two who were selected
to recite the Hebrew and English odes. The collection,
amounted to nearly 6001.
DEATH OF H. KEMBLE, ESQ., LATE M P. FOR EAST
SURREY.—We regret to announce the death of this
much respected gentleman', which event took place on
Monday at his house on Grove-bill, Camberwell, in the
7t)th year of his age. Mr. K. formerly represented
East Surrey in Parliament ; and was remarkable for the
regularity of his attendance, as well as for the firmness
and consistency of his public conduct. A sincere Con-
servative by conviction, he still listened with profound
respect to the opinions of those who differed from him,
if ever so widely ; whilst his amiable disposition won
for him the regard of all parties- in • the senatorial assem-
bly. Out of Parliament he was esteemed by a large
circle of'acquaintatice, and beloved by the poor, who
were the continual recipients of his bounty. His acts
of charity were numerous, varied, and unostentatious,
and neither political nor ecclesiastical creeds interfered
with the liberality of his donations. As a warm and
constant supporter of several of the public institutions
in this metropolis his loss will be severely felt, but to the
poor 'of his immediate neighbourhood we fear it will
prove irreparable.

MARSEILLES, MAY 19.

Accounts have•been received from Constantinople
to the 11th. Advices from Circassia of the 19th
April state that Mehemet Bey had removed his
head quarters to Sipsohur. Sefer Pacha has
40,000 naibs under his orders, and in consequence
of the adhesion of different tribes Mekemet Bey
could assemble 80,000. Accounts from Mossoul of
the sth state that the revolt of the Kurds has been
quelled. Letters from Athens of the 12th mention
the arrival of Admiral Willaumez at the Piraeus.
A very violent discussion had taken place in the

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.

The Pays says Lord Elgin, after remaining some
days at Alexandria and Cairo, will embark for

Lord Cowley went yesterday to Fontainebleau,
and had an audience of their Majesties to present
letters from Queen Victoria notifying the birth of

a princes..

M. Vie'lard, senator, who was tutor to the Em-
peror Louis Napoleon's brother, died this morning
at Paris.

We regret to announce," says the Constitu-
tionnel, " that the state of health of M. Vieillard
has not improved since yesterday. The Senate is
also threatenel with another loss in the person of
the Marquis de Pastoret, whose state continues
most alarming. Admiral Cecille, who has bean se-
riously ill, is now much better."
A Paris letter in the Independence of Brussels
states that when the Emperor Napoleon proceeded
in a hackney-coach to see: M. Vieillard on Satur-
day, he gave the coachman 100 f. The man, think-
ing that it was by mistake, observed, " Le bour-
geois se trompe," and could scarcely believe his
good fortune when he was told that his fare was
the Emperor, and that the money was really for
himself.

The Cour Imperiale, after a long deliberation, de-
livered its judgment in the'affair of the Docks Na-
poleon this m 'ruiner. The sentence of imprison-
ment against MM. Zu:in, Legendre, Duchesne de
Vere, and Berryer, as pronounced by the Tribunal
of Premiere Instance, is maintained ; but the fines
t ► which they were condemned are reduced to
3,000 fr. for Cusin and Legendre, to 2,000 fr. for
Arthur Berryer, and to I,ooofr. for Duchesne de
Vere. M. Orsi, who was acqujtted on the former
trial, has been declared guilty of complicity on ac-
count of his participation in the treaty with Fox
and Henderson and has been condemned to three
months' imptisonrnent and 100 fr. fine, and, more-
over, to restore 4,400 Dock shares.. The prisoners
are condemned to the costs in different proportions.

• THE PRINCIPALITIES.
It has been stated that the elections in the Prin-
cipalities were again to be adjourned. The in-
structions relative to the application of the im-
perial firman on the convocation of the, Divan,
which were drawn up by the extraordinary admi-
nistrative council of Moldavia, and sanctioned by
the Caimakan,, expl lin this delay. They; for
example, show that the accomplishment of all the
prescribed formalities will require 45 days before
the election can be proceeded to, and that, besides,
the Caimakan requires that the peasantry shall not
receive from any one, advice which may influence
their minds and "guide their opinions." These
instructions, signed by the late Minister of the In-
terior, Count Catargi, are dated tk 15th April,
and were published, under the administration of
his successor, in the Official Bulletin of the 22d
ult. The Minister of the Interior, M. Ghika, has
addressed a circular to the administrators of dis-
tricts, in which he complains that the preparatory
deliberations of citizens entitled to take part in the
coming elections have not taken place " without
noise"—he expresses regret that they have "taken
the appearance of disorderly manifestations','—and
blames 'them for having " improperly" adopted the
denomination of " clubs and committees."
