PROCLAMATION PROM TIM REGENT Or MILGRIM TO THE

INHABITANTS OF 11111.111 SILL

" 'Men unworthy of the name of Belgians, or of that of citizens, haw
given way to shameful excesses during yesterday and last night.
" The Civic Guard has in vain employed persuasive means to queil
the disturbance.

" The moment has, therefore, arrived fur using public strength to
stop the evil in the germ, and preserve our country and Brussels from
the greatest misfmtunes.
" But this will only be put in force in case of the last extremity.
" NVo, however, to those who, after the notice read by the Magis-
trates, shall refuse to obey.
" You, citizens of Brussels, should know that the union is not a
thing on which you can stop to deliberate—it is, as regards you, a para-
mount and inexorable necessity.
" What have you to fear if you be united ? The law arms you for
your own defence. Protect each other. Be men, and every thing will
soon return to its proper place. Be men—and, instead of losing time
by useless regret and lamentation, extend one hand to your misled
brothers, and place the other on the handles of your swords.

POLAND.

The Courier of Berlin has brought no news from Poland
to-day; but the Gazette d'Augsbourg, dated March 15, gives
some details upon the state of the Russian army. Provisions
were very dear upon the whole line. At the grand genera'.
quarters of Sienica, a glass of brandy costa three francs. A
Polish corps having attacked Gen. Gelman in his position
of Warowna, was repulsed with considerable loss. The Polo
showed, however, a rare courage. In the engagements be-
tween the advanced guard of Dwemicki, and the rear guard
of Kreutz, some Hulans were observed to combat, corps to
corps, with a fury without example. In equal numbers, the
Polish cavalry had in general the advantage ; but the Run-
Man infantry had a marked superiority. There nip
great enthusiasm at Warsaw, amongst the men of the
movement. A citizen has published that he will award
a prize of 2,500 francs to whoever shall make Marshal
Diebitscb prisoner ; and there is found in the army mos
than one man who toes not despair of gaining it. It is sat
Count Diebitech who has been named president of the king-
dom of Poland, as was announced by error in the Gazette
d'Augsbourg. The Journal of Saint-Peteraburgh, which
is official, digested under the auspices of Count Newel-
rode, says, in plain terms, in its 21st number: —" BY a
Ukase of the 9 (21) February, the Emperor has named.
President of the provisionary government of the kingdom
of Poland, the present privy councillor, Engel, member of the
council of the empire."—La Quotidienne.

The unfavourable weatbeeprevents Marshal Diebitach from
continuing his operations, and obliges him to remain inac-
tive. The want of provisi,tne becomes more sensible daily ,
the Russians have tu seek their provisions as far as Lithua-
nia, they have sent agents on all sides to purchase corn ;
but the transport is very difficult in a country thickly set
with woods and marshes, and deprived of causeways. 'Be-
sides, the Polish partisans, trained up in this warfare, inter-
cept the convoys and interrupt the communication. The
dearness is excessive in the Russian camp ; they pay for a
glass of brandy six rubles, an egg two rubles, in the general
quarters of Marshal Diebitach. Notwithstanding, the army
supports these privations with much fortitude. But it has
absolute need of repose and provisions. Marshal Diebitach
had traced a plan of operations, upon a very simple basis ;
ne would have attempted his end with the rapidity of
lightning ; but he had forgotten to calculate on the
warlike character of the Poles, and the resources of the
country ; he had, in fact, too much despised his adversary.
Now the Polish troops have acquired the greatest confidence
in themselves, and in their generals ; this confidence is
spread in the most distant districts, and the most feeble
minds begin to hope of success.
The following is a literal copy of a Cabinet order of the
Prussian Government, published in a German paper, and
which fully illustrates the feeling of that government to-
wards the Poles :

" Every Prussian subject residing at present in the kingdom of Po-
land, without being able to give a satisfactory account of the cause of
his ab'ence, and his stay in that country, is called upon to return
immediately to the place of his domicile, there to appear personally
before the competent authority, and to give a full circumstantial
swims of his absence, his stay in the kingdom of Poland, and
the period of his return. To all such subjects who faithfully
obey this summons, the pardon of the Sovereign for their prohibited
emigration, as also the raising of the sequestration of their property, is
granted. But those who remain in the kingdom of Poland are con-
sidered as public traitors, and will be punished as such ; and, as
an addition—(hear, ye free men, that frightful addition)—to the
penalties contained in the general code of laws against public
treason, in regard to the particular circumstances, the following
punishments are enacted against such refractory persons:—l. Con-
fiscation of all their present and future property. 2. The punish-
ment relating to desertion against all the members of the standing
army, of the war reserve, and of the militia of the first and
second class. 3. Forfeiture of the right of inheritance to the property
of their parents, against those who have as yet no property of their own,
as also incapacity to any office in the state, and a compulsory service in
the army of three years, in case they should hereafter return. 4. AT.
raignrnent for felony against those subjects who are not military per.
sons, and, besides, the confiscation of their property, imprisonment in a
house of correction, or in a fortrets, from six months to two years."
