The news from Warsaw of this morning will be
a shock to Europe. The details and explanations
will be awaited with impatience, and with fears for
the worst, What does it indicate of the past ?
What does it mean for the future ? Have GORTS-
CHAKOPY and ALEXANDER 11. really been pursuing
the atrocious policy of CONSTANTINE and NICHO-
LAS, thirty years ago ? Has there been a studied
design to lure and provoke the Poles to deeds which
should give a pretext for a policy of blood repres-
sion ? Have the haughty taunts and " gracious"
promises which have mingled strangely in the
Imperial and official communications been in-
tended to embolden and irritiate into what
despots call disorder? We are unwilling
to believe ALEXANDER a NICHOLAS, though
we do not forget the uncalled - for severity
of his language when the Polish nobles presented
their address on his first visit after his accession to
the throne. We own ourselves perplexed by the
apparent folly which could perpetrate the bloody
outrage which we have to record this morning.
From the slight accounts yet received, there ap-
pears to have been nothing to justify it. The po-
pulace were excited, it is true, and were assembled
in large numbers, but they were entirely un-
armed. They would hardly have given the
provocation which could require armed men
to act against the unarmed. The immediate
occasion appears to have been the forcible suppres-
sion of the Agricultural Association ; because, as a
combination of the most respectable citizens of the
Kingdom of Poland, although its object was so
purely social, it yet was a body unconnected with
the Government, but a body of great social in-
fluence. It was, however, a thoroughly orderly,
prudent, and peaceful body, and might well have
been made use of by the Government for the best
of purposes. That the people should resent its
suppression, and also that of the Delegation of
Citizens who undertook to preserve the public
peace, was natural ; and it would seem that nothing
but mere blood-thirstiness could resolve on the
bloody revenge which followed the popular mani-
festations of displeasure.
It is not easy to see what the CZAR can hope to
gain by writing kind things and doing barbarous
ones. Having commenced the emancipation of his
Russian serfs, and joined the Polish nobles in their
plans to emancipate their own ; having promised,
to the ear, to restore Polish nationality, education,
and, at least, municipal Government, having
declared his intention to act " as a father" towards
Poland, what can this sudden act of brutality mean?
It must render far more difficult any amelioration
of the civil institutions of Poland ; and it must
leave heart-burnings where better hopes were begin •
ins to be cherished. But how will it tell on the
Governments of Europe ? The Russian represen-
tatives to them have just been authorised to apprise
them of the gracious intentions of the CZAR towards
his Polish subjects; what a horrible comment will
this be on their communications. What will France
do ? Franee•---to whose consul at Warsaw the
Poles resorted after the seemingly more casual
cruelty of February. Louis NAPOLEON must,
from his recently assumed position as the friend of
nationalities, at least remonstrate ; and the talked
of Alliance with Russia will become an
impossibility. Can it be that the CZAR and the
IiArSBURO understand each other, and that the
former means to give the latter an example of the
'ay ire which he must deal with the Hungarian
Diet should it prove too unmanageable. View the
painful iota Iligence from Warsaw how we will, the
deed seers ahN cruel as we hope, in the present state
of Europe, itwillprove useless and foolish for the
purposes of
-esi.Nots. Even if all Europe should be
so heartless as to stand by and witness a repetition
of the atrocities 01' NICHOLAS, deeds like these will
revive, not crush ,•flit
the spirit of Polish nation-
ality, and will .oni
the growing opinion that
the rights of nation, -., and
not the bloody suppres-
sion of these rights, is r„..,
(rnly hope for stable
peace in Europe.
