that have been published relative to the steam&
committed at Warsaw. It appears that the accounts
in the State Gazette were very far fromibslng
aggerated.
The Journal des Debats contradicts the 'news
given by the Temps, of the insurrection in the Rus-
sian military colonies. The Temps persist in main-
taining the truth of its assertion. The known de-
tails of the insurrection, it says, which has broken'
out at Nowogorod, make the number of officers
killed about 200; including two Generals and two
Colonels.
VieENss , Atro: 25.—We know but Eta of
the state of affairs in Poland ; and as the 'commu-
nications are wholly cut off, and the accounts from
Cracow are not only very partial, but rest on mere
hearsay, we are, therefore, very impatient for au-
-Ithentic accounts of decisive events, which, it should
seem from the measures of Count Paskewctsch,
cannot fail to take place. We learn that Prince
Radzivill has been sent as Plenipotentiary from the
Polis National Government to the Russian head-
quarters, tonegociate a peace. On what basis the
us-
gociation can be carried on is difficult to guess, as
ithe Emperor of Russia, in his last Prods-
mation, again requires implicit submission, unless
we suppose that Count Paskewitsch is furnished
with special instructions and unlimited powers to
conclude peace. If we believe the assurances of
several eminent merchants who are usually well in-
formed, the Poles require of the Russian Com-
mander the same terms that at the commencement

of the revolution, under Chlopicki, they submitted
to the Emperor, and which were then refused. But
it is said that the present proposals of the Poles differ
from the former so far, that they no longer protest
against having Russian troops in the kingdom, but
only require that their number shall be equal to that
of the Polish national army ; adding that the Rus-
sian troops shall be under the exclusive command
of tho Russian General, who shall be subject to a
Viceroy chosen by the Polish nation, and confirmed
by the Emperor, and receive orders from him. It
is difficult, considering all the circumstances, to
judge of•the probability of the acceptance of these

proposals.
CHOLERA Mo ft ans.—ln the French Chambers,
part of the debate turned upon cholera, and the
minister of commerce made the following state-
ment :—" The cholera ravages the East of Europe.
It has spread over Wallachia, Poland, Russia,
Austria, Hungary. Even the centre of Germany
is threatened. Almost all the European nations
have had recourse to serious measures of precau-
tion : unitary commissions, cordons of troops, la-
zarettos, have been established. The manners of
Russia oppose the execution of similar mea-
sures, and Russia has most severely suffered.
Wallachia, in which no precautions have been
taken, has been ravaged. Prussia, on the contrary,
in which the soil has been defended foot by foot,
has been saved from these frightful misfortunes.
Venice, Tyrol, Saxony, have adopted vigorous
measure.. Austria took its precautions too late,
and the cholera is, therefore, at the gates of Vi-
enna. I have said that Germany is threatened.
The fairs, which assemble so great a number of in-
dividuals on one spot, have been the great sources
of danger. We have been for a long time en-
gaged in endeavouring to save France from
this scourge. Sanitary Commissions have been
sent into the infected countries to examine
the nature of the malady ; similar Comit-
tees have been formed in Paris. A scientific
controversy exists as to the nature of the disease,
and it is maintained by some not to be contagious.
Science performs its part in such discussions ; its
business is to discover the truth. Government also
does its duty by leaving nothing to chance, and
taking the utmost precautions to secure the health
and the lives of the people. It is certain that the
disease has spread in following the march of armies,
caravans, &c. We should be extremely culpable
if we neglected the means pursued for the preser-
vation of public health by the nations of Europe."
The Minister concluded by propoposing an extra-
ordinary vote of credit of a million francs
(40,0001.) to meet the expences of the sanitary
measures which he proposed.

Po rr G L.— By the following extract of a let-
ter from Oporto, dated the 30th ult. it will be
seen that the English residents—we hope without
sufficient reason—are becoming apprehensive of
danger from the encouragement afforded indirectly,
' according to the letter at least, by the (iovernment
of Dun 'Miguel to attack their persons and pro.
petty. At present thej aro left without any pro-
tection, should their apprehensions be unfortunately
realized. The presence of one or two gun-brigs in
the Douro, with mai inks on board, would, we have no
doubt, be a sufficient and salutary check to any hoe-
tile proceedings on d, part of the NI iguelites :—" Al-
though the authorities pretend to give satisfaction
when Englishmen are insulted and ill-treated, and
publish orders desiring the soldiers and others to
abstain from such outrages, still they afford every
encouragement to those who attack them, in some
instances openly, in others underhand. Scarcely a
day passes without some unoffending Englishman re-
ceiving insults and blows ; no redress can be obtained,
and se know that it is now thought useless to
complain. A day or two ago, a sermon was pub-
licly preachld to encourage the people to rise upon
all foreigniirs, and turn them out of the country.
We well *now what rising'upon foreigners would
be. It is Our firm opinion, founded upon a know-
ledge of facts, and upon long experience of the
people's disposition, that the English are in danger,
imminent danger, in mass and as individuals."
