return made for this forbearance ? Those very troops came
back soon afterwards, to spread slaughter and devastation
through the land where they had found that mercy which the
did not merit. Great were the cruelties which they com-
mitted in many places—sparing neither age nor sex, when
they thought their march to Warsaw wu to bave been more
of a triumphal procession than any thing else, and their ima-
ginations already revelled in spoils and pillage, and deso-
lation of the burning city, that was to have been offered as
one vut holocaust to appease the indignation of the Calmuc
Jove, who brandishes his lightnings against freedom from
the secure summit of his Northern Olympus. But the brave
men who defended Warsaw have taught the Russian armies,
fed as they are by the passer of the )Balkan, that they must
pay some respect to the rules of civilised war on the soil of
Poland. The prisoners whom they have taken they dared
not put to death as rebels, because the Poles have in their
handy the means of dreadful retaliation. These means are
16,000 prisoners, along with 300 officers and 10 generals—
whom they have treated with theattention and respect which
brave men pay to misfortune. But the question arises, how
long can the Polish soldier restrain his just indignation,when
he learns the savage cruelly that has been practised on his
Lithuanian brethren.

POST.—As the time approaches for the meeting of the
Parliament, one branch of which has been formed under
the influence of national intoxication and delirium, the
anxiety of all rational and sober men becomes daily more
intense as to the degree in which the whole legislature will
prove itself to participate in the frenzy that has presided
over the birth of its more popuhir members. We are very far
indeed from believing that the rzvolutionary Insanity of the
hustings will have been transferred in any other than the most
mitigated form to the House of Commons ; and we shall be
greatly surprised, as well as grieved, if the progress and result
of the Reform question be not such as to prove to the resent
and all future ages the practical value and importance, not only
of the unelective and hereditary branch of the Legislature,
but of that component part of the popular and elective
branch, which theorists and constitution-mongers have
always deemed the most irregular and defective.—
Where, at this moment, can the British Nation, and
the hundred other Nations, of whose welfare and
happiness the British Legislature has the absolute disposal,
look for Legislators possessed of the attributes of calmness,
freedom from passion, independence, free, manly, and un.
biassed reason, or any of the other high attributes which
ought to distinguish the Legislators of a mighty, extensive,
and &diversified empire, but in the House of Peers, anti
upon the borough seats in the House of Commons ? Else.
wre, all that is to be seen is the madness of democratic
fury, or the iniquity of democratic despotism.

Judging from the list, we are justified in anticipating four
good days' sport, for we find 29 Stakes, Plates, and Matches,
of the value of nine or ten thousand pounds. Lord Anson
has succeeded Lord Maryborough as Steward. Mr. Clark,
of Newmarket, officiates as Judge, and Mr. James as Clerk

travagant charges for bed, stabling, &c. A little after one
o'clock, the shouts of those who had stationed th,:m•elves
on the verge of the race-ground, announced the approach of
their Majesties, and immediately after the royal cortege was
observed on their way to the stand. Nothing could be more
enthusiastic titan the reception of the illustrious visitors,
who were evidently highly gratified. Their Majesties were
accompanied by the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, her two sons.
and Prince George of Cambridge. The royal suite consisted
of the Duke of Richmond. Earl and Countess Grey, and the
