T ? EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

MONDAY, MARCH 14.

We have received by the Estafette of this morning, our
usual supply of Paris Journals; and in our subsequent
columns we have given a selection of extracts from them,
which are not to be found in the Morning Papers, even
including the 2d Edition of our active cotempomry, the
Herald. We have likewise subjoined a short letter from
our correspondent, chiefly descriptive of the occasional
disturbed state of the French Capital, which he at-
tributes—but we suspect too positively—to the secret pro-
ceedings of the Carlist faction. We have not been able to
find reetll to-tio7,for a carious document found in the house of
a Carlist,named Count Jagan de Luz, in Brittany; which would
cv: isziinly, if authentic, go a great way to prove, that the Car-
lists had really organized something like a systematic attack,
to support the claim of the Due de BOURDEAUX as
HENRY V. under a Regency of the Duchess de BERRI.
If the document be not a State fabrication, to give a colour
to the disturbances in Paris, it certainly proves that the in-
sanity of the Bourbons is not yet at an end.
We think the readers of the STAR, if they compare its
foreign intelligence of this day, with what they may find in
the columns of its contemporaries, will perceive that
it still maintains the superiority,which must have been to its
readers so long perceptible.

FLIGHT AND DISPERSION OF THE RUSSIAN
ARMIES!!!

From the 17th ult. to March 1, the Russian hosts have
had to contend, in the inhospitable woods before Warsaw,
vgainst MARSHES, FAMINE, and the PotEs ! Such a
ruinous contest would place 5 per cent. of their numbers
hors de combat every day. Twelve such days would ren-
der flight necessary, and we are happy to say, it has taken
place, though softened in the Prussian journals into " a
march to PLoca and GORA !" These well-wishers of
the barbarians &so tell us, that a corps of observation is
I,.ft ; but we have no doubt that this corps is the chief
part of the Russian army left in the woods, wounded,
dying, and dead.
It appears that one portion of the discomfited Russians
have fled towards PLOCK, 100 miles from Warsaw, down to
the Vistula, and towards the protection of the Prussian
Frontiers; and another portion have fled towards Gora,
t;;, miles above Warsaw, towards the Austrian Frontiers.

In fact, it is as complete a flight and overthrow of the
barbarians, ns the friends of civilization and liberty could
desire ; and that the victory has not been sooner known.,
and is not now more fully known, arises from the circum-
stances,
that the acounts pass to us through the base legiti;
mate press of Prussia.
The mars, however, do not deceive us ; and when we
view on then► the positions and distances of Plock and Gora,
uo colouring of the Prussian journals can disguise the fact,
that the Russian army is ruined, routed, and dispersed.

BRUSSELS, March 11.—We have received the Prussian Stale Ga-
setae of the sth and 6th of this month. They make no mention of
the taking of Prager by the Russians, although they give news under
the head Warsaw, March 1 ; and private letters say that the attack
made by the Russians was on the 28th February. It is to be observed
that the camas from the Polish Journals given in the Prussian Slate
Gazette, relate nothing later than the 27th February.
BEM" Maacu 7.—The Warsaw Courier of the 28th ult. says—
Yesterday also passed over without any fighting. It is reported that
the greater part of Ike hostile army leaves its present position, and
marches to Nook-Field. Marshal Diebitsch himself is said to be at
the head of this division, and the remainder will be left to observe the
works of Prigs."
The Warsaw Gaaakt of today contains an official report of Gen.
Urminskl an the action Orthe 24th, on the left wing of the Polish
army at Nokias, in which that Oeneral commanded the Ist corps of

cavalry. The journals of this city have not yet given a particular as
count of the battles of the 24th and 25th February.

The Warsaw Courier says that several citizens from the neighbour.
hood of Zamon arrived here the day before yesterday, who met with no
corps of the essay ow the way.
Palau Fiouttza, Match 2.—According to private accounts from
Warsaw, Ms greater part of the RlSliali army has marched to Plock,
and another part to Gora, leasing only a corps qf observation hefore
Warsaw—n.loBl'l. State Gavotte, March 6.

These facts, conceded by the Prussian ally of the Russians,
are equivalent to columns of dispatches. The Russians
are palpably frustrated and overthrown, and the event will
be ever memorable in modern history.
The Prussian Gazette is even so absurd as to assert, that
the Russians hare retreated, because the Polish army was so
much ruined as to be unable to fight another battle ! On
that account the Russians marched away out of pity to
the enthusiastics who command at Warsaw ! This is most
amazing ; and we can enjoy it, because it proves that Po-
LAND IS SAFE, AND THAT THE MIGHTY RUSSIAN
ARMAMENTS HAVE COME TO NOUGHT.

His Majesty's packet Magnet, PORTEOUS, arrived Sa-
turday from Lisbon, having left that place on the 7th
inst. with a mail, and advices up to that period. No ex-
ecutions had taken place, as we were led to expect by
the last accounts. Several had been tried by the Special
Commission, amongst whom there were one Captain, one
Serjeant, and ten Constitutionalists, found guilty of at-
tempting to overturn the existing Government ; and it was
stated at Lisbon, when' the Magnet left, that they were
condemned to be executed on the subsequent Friday, (11th
inst.) Sen. ANTONIA de SILVEIRA e LORENA, and Mr.
A. CIIANSEREAO, came home passengers in the packet,
and were bearers of despatches from the Portuguese Go-
vernment.

We have arrivals from Canton of the 18th of November,
by the Duchess of Athol and the Thomas Coutts. All the
outward-bound ships had arrived, except the Anne and
Amelia.

Accounts from Liege of the ith of March state, that a
report prevailed there of a battle on the side of Campine,
owing to the Dutch wanting to introduce provisions into
MseAricht. The Belgians, who were few in number, were
defeated by the Dutch ; but, having received reinforcements,
they compelled the Dutch to retreat.

Private letters from Vienna state, that great movements
of troops are taking place—proceeding principally towards
Styria and Carinthia.

Accounts from Metz of the 9th March, state that orders
have been received there, to prepare immediately 30 batteries
of six-pounders, with their caissons and mteriel.

WARSAW AND PRAGA versus THE COCRIEit, DI.OIIE, &C.
- - -

It is impossible to pass over the quackeries and inventions
of our contemporaries relative to the false account circu-
lated on Thursday and Friday of the occupation of Warsaw
by the Russians. We ventured on Thursday to doubt the
assertion, and even anticipated, by comparing facts and
positions, that the Russians were far more likely to be
routed and cut off in detail. But on the same afternoon, in
other London papers, the entry of the Russians into War-
saw was described not only as certain, but various circum-
stances were audaciously invented to give colour to the
originality and priority of each paper ! Take the veracious
Globe for example, and judge of its authority by the fol-
lowing specimen of original invention !
" We have just learned, from the most respectable autho-
rity, that accounts of the defeat and dispersion of the Polish
army have been received by the Russian Minister this day,
and that a partial resistance only had taken place at Warsaw,
in consequence of the representation of the Municipality that
the immense force of the Russians would render it utterly
unavailable."

Take the following from the pretending and mendacious
Courier.

" We regret to state that official accounts have been re-
ceived this day of the surrender of Warsaw, after the defeat
by the Russians of the Polish army. The armistice which
had been entered into for the purpose of burying the dead
on the first battle, having expired, hostilities were renewed
on the 26th ult. on which day, and on the 27th there was
much hard fighting, with considerable loss on both sides.—
The Poles behaved as gallantly as in the previous affair, but
being unequal in number to adversaries, they were at length
compelled to give way. Determined, however, to make
their retreat in as good order as possible, they set fire to
Praga, in order to interrupt, for a time, the advance of the
Russians. Praga was thus destroyed. On the 28th, the
municipal authorities of Warsaw, finding themselves no
longer protected by their brave army, and being unable,
from the nature of the city, to prevent the entry of the
Russians, held a meeting, at which it was resolved to sur-
render at discretion. They waited upon the Russian com-
mander to signify their submission ; and the Russian troops
immediately entered the capital."
Now really if the people of England permit themselves
to be twice insulted in like manner, they will deserve to
suffer as dupes ; for the inventors of such a tissue of gross
falsehoods ought neither to be forgotten nor forgiven. The
whole, from beginning to end, in each paragraph, is pure
fiction, and without the smallest shadow of foundation. There
were no official accounts, and the writers must have known
better.

If the public compare the Foreign News of the STAR
with its contemporaries, it will appear, in some instances
every day, that the STAG is twelve and twenty-fours before
any of them. Yet it did not contain any decisive account
of the burning of Praga, and the capture of Warsaw—be-
cause there were no creditable accounts of such events in
London—but that its contemporaries should not only give
full credence to what was not true, but should confer plausi-
bility on falsehood, by inventing incidents and collateral
circumstances which had no existence, is a conduct for cas-
tigation from more scrupulous Journals, and of resentment
on the part of the public.
The news originated early in the week in a Prussian
Journal printed at Cologne, and was put forth to counteract
the effect of the great losses of the Russians. It was then
copied into a Belgic Journal, but from the first the date be-
lied the story. It was, however, a fruitful germ for the
Stock-gamblers at Paris, and by them was fathered on M.
LA PITTE, who never spoke a word on the subject. Some
Chevalier d'lnclustrie, sold it for 3s. 6d. to a London Morn-
ing Paper, by which it was printed in a Second Edition on
Friday, but being vouched for by one at 250 miles distance,
the moment we saw it we thought of Bunbury's progress of
a lie.

After all, it may happen sooner or later, that Warsaw
may be taken, and Praga too, and then we presume, our
most ingenious contemporaries will lay claim to the second
sight—but such quackeries cannot long succeed.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE-EXCLUSIVE.

PAN IS, Maly= 12.

Sir—Really to repot t upon the state and disposition of
Paris and its inhabitants, one would require a set of messen-
gers to dispatch one after another, so that the second might
contradict the intelligence of the first. I scarcely write you
word that all is here tranquil, and dispatch my letter by the
post, than li wish it back again, to add a post scripture, to
say that I was mistaken, and fresh disturbances have com-
menced. On Wednesday this was actually the case, for in
the evening Paris was again in motion, the National
Guards on the alert, and the new duty of the commissaries
of police called into action. Grieved and disappointed at the
news which had arrived at Paris of the defeat of the Poles,
after having been so elated the day before at the re-
ports of their success, an assembly took place on the
Place Louis Quinze, and proceeded to the Hotel of
the Russian ambassador, where they broke many of his
windows; and what is much worse, fired two pistol-shots
in at one of the windows ; at the same time venting their
displeasure with loud shouts—Long live the Poles ! Death
Ito the Russians. The guards were quickly at the spot and
dispersed them ; but they afterwards assembled at the Palais
Royal, uttering the same cries, and demanding this time
war instead of bread. At 10 o'clock, however, all was
pretty tranquil ; but it required very strong detachments of
the guards to preserve this tranquillity, who blocked up the
ends of many of the streets,whilst other strong bodies paraded
the different quarters of Paris. Again, the principal shops in
the Rue St. Honor 6, and the Rue Richlieu, together with
the gardens of the Palais Royal were closed ; and again it
goes forth to the world that dissension, disunion and revo-
Ilution, form the component parts of this metropolis. Many'
of the National Guards expressed their regret to the Rua-
sian Ambassador, for the scenes which had taken place, and
all the journals, as you will perceive, are indignant at the
disgrace cast upon the polite nation, by practises which
have hitherto only been famous at Constantinople. The
persons of Ambassadors ought ever to be sacred. The
French, or at least the assembly of Wednesday evening,
appear to forget what was the origin of the famous Alge-
rine expedition, which took place owing to a less indignity
offered to the person of the French Ambassador. There is
however no longer any doubt that these commotions are iu-i
stigated by persons behind the scenes ; the working class in
this instance have taken no share. On the contrary, when
the procession passed through the quarter Saint Antoine and
other parts, many of the workmen stigmatized those men,
as being the cause of their want of regular employment,
and that they were depriving them of bread ; and so far
from joining, as was expected, to swell the throng, they
actually assisted the National Guards to take some of them
into custody—a convincing proof that the assembly lately
at the Palais Royal, demanding bread or Mood, was not
composed of starving workmen, as I observe the Times styles
them. I was witness to the drunkenness of most of them ;
and it has been proved, that all those who were arrested were
provided with money. Indeed, I know from good autho-
rity, that the Carlist faction, which has money at command,
stir up these tumults ; and according to the sum advanced,
so is the magnitude of the commotion. 6,000 francs will
purchase but a small tumult ; 20,000 a decent one h—and
it is given out that on the 20th of this month, the day
of the distribution of the prizes of July, there is to be a
" pretty considerable row;" that a sum of 30,000 francs is in
hand for the occasion, and that it is determined to make itworth
the money—having the same sort of feeling as the murderer in
the Children in the Wood, as not to receive money, without
doing the duty required. There was an assembly yesterday;
but those bold men who were so eager for war, were
frightened by the rain, which coming on during their march,
dispersed them. At present—half-past three o'clock—we
are all quiet. Goo knows whether the calm will last till to-
morrow—it is devoutly to be wished ; and I hope I may be
able to write you two letters in the same strain, without one
contradicting the other. I remain, yours, &c.
J. L.

P.S. As I predicted in my last, M. Lafitte has sent
in his resignation, which has been accepted. You will set'
by the Journals that there are various opinions upon the
probable composition of the new Ministry ; but none of
them give a correct statement of the men who are likely to
come in. The list I inclose you, I consider, at present, cor-
rect, as I have received it from the best source ; but here
nothing can be relied upon long together. This list, how-
ever, was expected to be in the M.niteur this day :
M. Casimir Perrier ... President of the Council, and
Minister of the Interior.
Keeper
of the Seals, and Mi-
nter of Justice.
Minister of Finance.

Since writing the above, the Moniteur has just appeared,
but gives no list. I will inform you to-morrow, should any
changes take place. In the meantime, you may, I think,
rely on the inclosed.
The Moniteur of to-day, contains an ordonnance calling
out 80,000 of the young soldiers, into active service.
The news from Poland has happily not been confirmed.
The revolution marches well in Italy. A private letter from
Rome, dated the 3d instant, states that the tri-coloured flag
floated there. The sons of Louis Bonaparte are found to be
at the head of the revolution in Italy. This has caused the
flight of the Duchess of St. Lou, Queen Hortense.

AFFAIRS 01 BELGIUM.— he horizon clears daily for the
advantage of our neighbours. The concentration of power
in the hands of a popular man, has rallied all good citizens
and extinguished the hopes of the agitators. Since then,
no more commotions, no more attempts of the Orangists,
and Belgium is probably at this moment the country of Eu-
rope, which encloses the least elements of trouble. As to
the Interior, M. Surlet de Chokier, since that he has been
at the head of affairs, has not looked coldly upon any in-
terest, nor wounded any party; he has well treated the North
without displeasing the South; he has granted something to
the Catholics without giving discontent to the philosophers.
As to the exterior, his administration has not been less
happy. We have spoken of the malevolent dispositions of
England for his person. His title of Regent, which appears
to implicate the maintenance of the King, chosen by the
Congress, his well-known sympathy for France, has given
uneasiness to the British Ministry, which did not even seek
to disguise its bad humour. The ministry declared against
him, and threatened not to recognize him. But, as it was
easy to perceive—the election made, it has shifted ground.
Never Cabinet possessed, like that of Saint James's,
the talent of ceding k propos. Thus, we un-
derstand, that the day after the arrrival at Brussels,
of General Belliard, Lord Ponsonby quitted the sour tone
which he had taken, and demanded an audience of the Re-
gent. This audience took place; the two nations are at
present in the best understanding, and we doubt not but
Europe will quickly imitate this example. Such has been
the result of the firmness of our Government : it appears to
us that that should encourage it to follow the same route.
M. Surlet begins to occupy himself by causing the nation
to be represented at Foreign courts. He has named M.
Lehon, member of the Congress, minister plenipotentiary from

Belgium to France, and confirmed on M. Firmin Roper his
title of First Secretary of Legation. M. Lehon arrived
yesterday at Paris, and will to-morrow, or the day
after, we are assured, present his letters of credit to the
King of the French. The Regent has not yet named tit,
Ambassador to the Court of London ; but we can give a,
certain, that it will be M. d'Aerschot, Member of the Con-
gress, and of the Deputation sent to Paris to offer the croti
to the Duke of Nemours. A report has been current, and
several journals have announced, that 12,000 Prussians had
entered the Duchy of Luxembourg I this would be a post_
tive hostility against our neighbours and against France.
We can certify that this intelligence is completely false.
From tokens, which we have reason to believe certain, th,_
Cabinet of Berlin is on the best terms with Belgium. W,.
are assured even, that the late events of Poland have draail
tighter the ties which unite the two countries. The situa-
tion of Prussia is delicate and complex ; it is necessary for
her to know that she has more to dread from the despot of
the north, than from liberty. It is positive, at this moment,
that it is the north which she looks upon with the greatest
fear ; but it appears that it is not the same with Austria.
The moral and political situation of these two countries ail!
explain the difference.—Le Constitutionnel.
At this moment, when affairs are approaching to the ca-
tastrophe, each party seeks to render itself masterr of the
best positions. There is nothing astonishing in this; and
the veil of moderation lurks under the desire of reconstitut-
ing legitimacy, for at this moment all their efforts are di-
rected to render the state powerless, and to keep in employ-
ment creatures of the late order of things. It is easy fur
them to prepare a similar catastrope to that of 1814 and
1815, for they are expert at such things.
Before a month we shall be attacked by the united force.
of Europe : our army, fine in appearance, reckoning in its
bosom more than a third of Carlist officers, who, as at
Waterloo, know well, at the decisive moment, how to cry
Sauve qui pent! They count upon it. Our materiel,
which cost so dear, will not proceed ten leagues before it
will be out of service, for the purchase of it is entrusted to
a commission, who buy all at the lowest possible price, and
charge the highest. Whilst the mind and materiel of our
army is thus prepared, nothing is neglected to maintain all
the Carlist authorities upon all points of France, so that
Henry V. who will arrive at the tail of the Cossacks, may
find ready to receive him all his friends and vassals. And
with these positive and glaring facts, they do not fear to
hawk about the list of a new ministry, in which we read the
names of a Pasquier ! of a Saint-Cricq, who serve in com-
mon all Regimes ! of a Bertin ! of a d'Argout, who formerly
burnt the tri-coloured flag! Oh, shame ! Oh, France
twenty times the victim of treason, what will it require to
open your eyesl"—La Revolution.
