FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
The official Gazette of Berlin has the following procla-
mation, dated st. Petereburgh, Dec. 17
:
poles—The guilty events of which the capital of Poland presents
the example, has troubled the public tranquility of the country. I have
been informed of them with the most just indignation, and with a sen-
timent of the most profound grief.
" Some individuals unworthy of the Polish name, have formed a coo.
sorer against the life of the brother of your King, have inveigled the
army to forget their oaths, and have deceived the people upon their
dearest interests.
" There is yet time to make reparation, and to prevent infinite mica.
fortunes. lam not about to confound those who abjure the errors of a
moment, with those who persevere in crime. Poles. listen to the coun.
eels of a father : obey the order of your Sovereign.
" In publishing our immutable intentions, we have ordered,—
" I. The Russians who are detained prisoners shall be set at liberty.
"2. The Council of Administration shall resume its functions, u in-
stituted in 1826.
"S. The authorities, civil and military, shall obey its orders, and
not acknowledge any illegitimate authority.
a 4. The chiefs of corps of the army shall assemble the troops, and
shall direct their course with them to the rendezvous at Moan.
" 5. At the same time they will inform us of the state of the troops.
"6. All who shall not conform to this military order, shall cease
their functions, and be declared dismissed.
" The Icctl authorities shall deprive of their arms all those who are
opposed to public order. The arms shall be confided to the care of
veterans, and of the communal gensdarmes.
" Soldiers of the Polish army ! your motto has always been fidelity
and honour. The regiment of Cavalry Chessman of the Royal Guard
have given a remarkable proof of it. Soldiers, follow their example,
justify the confidence of your Sovereign, who has received your oaths!
" Poles ! you who have remained faithful, I count upon your den.
tion and courage. I will not spurn from me those who regret the error
of a moment, and who will return to their duty. But never shall I ad-
dress men without honour and faith, who have conspired against the
tranquillity of their country. What concessions can they imagine they
will receive without arms in their hands P They deceive themselves.
Traitors of their country, the misfortunes which they have drawn down
will fall again upon their own heads.

"Count ETIENNE GRABOUSKI,
Minister &aetary of State."

A publication of the Commandant-General of the Presi-
dent in Chief of the Grand Duchy of Posen, (a Polish pro-
vince of Prussia), recalls the inhabitants who may have re-
paired to Poland, to return within 15 days, under pain of
seizure of all their goods, and mentions that there have been
secret meetings, and concealed armaments detected.
The private letters dated St. Petersburgh, on the 16th
and 17th of December, state that General Diebitch had al-
ready given orders to the Russian corps at Wilna to advance
upon the line of Warsaw.

The Hi

gives the following InteMgesee from

Silesia, dated Dec. 20 :—" Although no large stream or high moun-
tain separated or from Poland, the revolution which has broken out
there ham found a natural barrier in the fidelity and confidenceof the
Sileshins in their King. On our frontiers Kalish was the point where
the insurrection was organised. The first meetings in our neighbourhood
took place at the house of Count 11—, in the Polish town of Pros-
chke, who called together ell the nobles in the neighbourhood, and
planned the disarming of the Cossack.. The fetter, however, did not
wait for the attack, but on the 6th Dec. took refuge with their horses in
the Prussian village of Janisnow. On the following day, the commending
Major of the Cossacks was persuaded by a Polish nobleman, who bad
bee ,'sent to him, to return to the territory of Poland, but the Cossacks
had no sooner taken possession of their barracks, than they wen at.
tacked by the country people, who disarmed and plundered them. The
Major, with about 70 men, made his escape by passing the river Picea
on horseback. They arrived safely on the Prussian territory, and
marched of for Breslaw. These Cossacks formed an extended line of
revenue officers, but were easily bribed by the smugglers. At present,
Poles armed with scythes, and wearing large white cockades, supply
their place on the frontiers. The prohibition, under pain of death, of
pining the Prussian frontiers, Issued by the Provisioaal Government,
has hitherto been observed very strictly."
The lifonttesor of Tuesday contains a report addressed to she King
by the Minister of the Interior, which, after setting forth the necessity
of suppressing the Direction of Public Works, upon the ground of its
giving rise to abuses, delay, and great expense, proposes an ordinance
for signature, calculated to remedy these evils. The report is followed
by the ordinance by which the Direction of public Works is suppressed
from January lit. All works at the charge of the Government are
henceforth to be under the direction of the Minister of the Interior, and
those at the charge of the City of Paris, under that of the Prefect of the
department. A second ordinance convokes the electoral college of the
first arrondissement of the department of the Loire at Montbrison,
and that of the department of the Maine and Loire at Angers, for the
Bth of February next, to elect deputies in the room of M. de Choate-
lame and M. Gnomon de Renville. A third ordinance appoints M.
Guibega to be sub-prefect of Sartene, in Corsica, in the room of M.
Penildi, who retires, and IL Frotnent to be SecretarpGieneral of the
Prefecture of the same department, in the room of M. Guibega. A
fourth ordinance appoints M. Laurent de Jussieu, Becretary.General
of the Prefecture of the Seine, in the room of M. Tascherout. A
fifth ordinance creates a new commissariat of police at 11am, in the de-
partment of the Somme, and M. Dysse is appointed the commissary.
The Journal du Camera has the following " The intention of
the Spanish Government to acknowledge the Corti Loan is again re-
peated. This is not to be a pure and simple acknowledgment; but if
credit is to be given to those who pretend to be fully informed, the fol-
lowing is to be the plan s—At first 20 or 25 per cent. of the nominal
capital will be admitted as a new debt, at three per cent. The remain-
ing 75 or 80 per cent. with the amount of the interest accrued since
1823, wil also be allowed as a debt, but without interest from the time
of its liquidation. This amount will be divided into 60 series, to be
annually converted by lot into a fund bearing three per cent. interest,
with a sinking fund, the amount or nature of which is not stated. This
is what Spain calls fulfilling her engagements, and she hopes, no doubt,
by this proof of fidelity, to open the purses of the Parisians afresh. We
believe, however, they will think twice before they make any further
advances."

In the month of February a new forced loan will be levied in Portu-
gal, for the purpose of providing for the support of the troops which
are to be raised by that time. The confismn of tbe property of ant-
grants continues. It is said that Don Miguel is secretly preparing a
pretended great conspiracy, in which will be implicated all the rich in-
habitants whose opinions give him umbrage. They will be some morn-
ing arrested, condemned and transported, and their property will serve
to gratify the insatiableness of Don Miguel. The Pasha of Tripoli, a
French oMeer, and two Turkish servants, have been driven Into the
Tagus by bad weather.—Casefitutionnet.
The Revolution says—" It is stated that Captain Lacombe, com-
manding the first squadron of the Hussars of Chartres, has bear arrested
under the following circumstances :—His too liberal opinions had in-
duced the Minister of War to send him to a distance from his
incur, and on Saturday he received order* to set off within two hours for
Toulon, where he would find despatches for the Mores. and a ship
ready to convey him. Capt. Lacombe, surprised at this unexpected
mission, and being still a sufferer from a wound received in the days
of July, endeavoured to obtain :a revocation of the order; but not hav-
ing succeeded, he determined to set out on Sunday, and the post horses
Were at his door when he was arrested."

" We can assert, upon good authority,' says the Coottitationssel,
" that the events which had well nigh disturbed the umnquility of the
Roman States will contribute to accelerate the labours of the Conclave,
and that France will probably have cause to be satisfied with the eke.
non that will be made. Two French Cardinals have entered the Con..
dare, namely, M. de Rohan and M. d'lsoarti. M. de Old, it is be.
Jeved, is also at Rome at this moment "

BRUSSELS PAPERS.
(Lest night, by Corm.)
Baussat.s. Jaw. 2.—A respectable Belgian, who km just returned
from London, frequently saw in that thy a person of distinction with
whom he has transacted business, and who is very often in company
with the Prinee of Saxe Coburg.
The Prince, said the Englishman, has frequently been spoken to
about the plan of placing himself at the head of the Belgic nation; be
has always replied negatively to those overtures, and only two days ago
he answered—" I, a Protestant, bound by a Constitution voted under
the influence and for the interest of the Clergy, and placed as an hew-
rogenous Sovereign in the midst of a democratic State. how could it be
possible for me to make the happiness of Belgium, or even to
govern it ? There is none but a madman or a beggar' who could
desire such a throne. I hope you do not think, Gentlemen, that I
am either.

As these words of the Prince of Awe Coburg, which leave no doubt
of his eventual read, rove in some measure that we must choose a
chief our own nobility, and as Messrs. De Merode, D'Arscot,
De Cellos, litamart, De Bohanlx, and Jottrand, are still of the kind
of surf of which sovereigns are made, one of them may ray well seat
himself on the vacant throne of Father William. People are agreed that
Mr. Jourand is not the one among the candidates who possesses in the
least degree the qualities, and who ban the least dunce of success.
To.dsy there is a general review of the Civic Guard of Brussels.
We are assured that the Masseurs of the corps of M. de Chasteler,
which lately left Beneeds, were hardly twenty In number. Most of the
soldiers of that free corps have remained at &wads, probably because
they are well amused that at present there is no danger to be incurred in
the army, and these is no need of their going, without any advantage to
the defuses of the count:), to spoil, in the mud of the bivouacs, their

400 bales and 22 barrels of coffee, and 1000 pieces of yellow wood.
