FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE EXCLUSIVE.

The idea of the re-union—of Belgium to France gains
ground daily, although I can assure you on good authority,
that the King will persist in his refusal. There can be
little doubt, however, that re-union of Belgium with
Francemust ultimately take place,and it is equally doubtless
what the Frontal) Government have been all along aiming at.
The present unsettled state of the question harasses com-
merce dreadfully ; trade never was known to be worse at
Paris than at present. It is said that the Belgian Deputa-
tion have expressed themselves averse to the re-union :
however, the question will most probably be settled on Satur-
day, as on that day the Deputation will wait on the King
officially, to offer the Crown and the Constitution at the
same time, as it is supposed that the Constitution will arrive
from Brussels on Thursday or Friday at farthest.—
Although I cannot vouch for the truth of the state-
ment respecting the treatment of the five Poles in
Prussia, I can answer for a proceeding nearly si-
milar that took place with a Pole, who left
Paris this morning for London. He was refused his
purports at Vienna, from thence he went to Stutgard,
where he experienced the same treatment—he went to
Btrasburgb, where he was equally unsuccessful, and vas at
last obliged to come to Paris, and intends embarking at Lcn-
don in the steam-bout for Hamburgh. It is difficult to re-
concile such proceedings with the principles of non-intervcn-
tion, which is so much the cant of the day. The army con-
tinues organizing here with the greatest industry. The
soldiers are being trained daily in the Champs Elysies
and the Champ de Mars, and despatched as soon as possible
to different stations. The weather at Paris is strongly in
contrast with the weather represented in Louden. It is here
so mild, that violets are to be purchased foi a few sous at
every stall. J. L.

The last report of this evening is, that the Government
had asked four days to reflect upon an answer : if this fact
is true, we believe we can easily calm the public mind, by
assuring them that the Government will find strength on the
fourth day, to reply by a refusal, as they did on the first.
—Le Temps.
AFFAIRS OF BlLLSll3ll.—Nothing official is yet decided
upon the grand question of the refusal of the acceptation of
the throne of Belgium. The Envoys of the Congress re-
ceived in the day a visit from the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs, accompanied by Marshal Gerard, and
their uncertainty is still the same. The public
take a great interest in the solution of this grave ques-
tion, to which is attached a question more grave still.—
This day, towards two o'clock, a great crowd assembled in
the Court of the Palais Royal, supposing that the depu-
tation was in with the King ; the Court news however, make
no mention of it. The Deputation will be officially ad-
mitted to-morrow or Wedneaday. Some of the Members of
the Belgian deputation believe they are right in guessing that
the cause of the refusal of the French Government, is the
minimum in the majority obtained for the Duke of Nemours.
To this the Belgian Deputies reply, that had they been
sure of the acceptation, the majority would have been im-
mense, and that the Orangists alone, which would have formed
but an imperceptible minority, would not have voted for the
second son of the King of the French. It is a certain fact,
that the election of the Duke of Nemours is celebrated in
Belgium by unanimous acclamations so frank, so loyal, that
they show at once the most positive political resolutions.—

EXTR♦CT 01 ♦ PRIVATZ LETTIR FROM WARSAW, •

DATED THE .18TH JAN.—" We dreaded divisions, from
the bake-watudess of part of our ancient aristocracy ; but
their conduct j this circumstance has been admirable. This
day all tbe &m ate, the Chamber of Deputies, the Army, the
Jew., and the German colonies, which are numerous, all
breathe the sass sentiment. The dismission of the Dictator
has shown that we had amongst us a man who would capitu-
late, when the whole nation were ready to fight to the last
surmise.. The declaration of the vacancy of the throne, and
the adhesion of the Lithuanians, the Voihynians, the Peda-
ls., the Ukrainois, followed at last by those of the Govern-
ments of Wkaluk and Mobilew, usurped by Russia, in the
last partition of Poland, has given the signal of a general
revolution. We are assured that M. Lelewel is upon the
point of quitting Warsaw, for Wilna, in order to fol-
low the corps of the army, commanded by General
Schembek. Our military forces surpass 130,000 men, train-
ed and well equipped. The are of Diebitsch is not more
than 60,000 men. The arrival of the brave soldiers of the
asp of Lithuania, Sonsin, and Paprocki, who crossed the
NVmm under the eyes of ape Russians, has revealed to us
the spirit which animates the rest of this corps. We snood.
with the most lively impatience, news from France ; we re-
ceive, by the way of the Journals, vague news of the fauns-
tion of a Polish committee at Paris. It is said that it is pro-
sided by General Lafayette. This news alone has prods'sd
eunuch aired here, as Lime bad witnessed the arrival Of
50,000 Framaboaa. May the Preach reflect well, our canes

tlxits ! The Dictator is not to be seen; it is said that he
:attacked by a mental aberration.—Le Constitutionnel.
The chief inhabitants of Lithuania, of Podolia, and the
;:kmine, at this moment present at arsaw, have remitted
the Diet an address, in which, to the number of '2OO, they
oldest in the name of their countrymen their adhesion.
Pit ttss I A.—Berlin, Jan. 29.—Private letters, which have
Itired this day from Warsaw, have all been opened and
:o-sealed with the seal of the Polish post. These letters
.oke no mention of the troubles which, it has been pre-
.ended by some at Berlin had newly burst out at Warsaw;
but they announce the news that the Diet had declared the
throne of Poland vacant, and the house of Romanow ex-
, lutled from the Throne. We have this moment learned that
las Majesty the Emperor Nicholas has named Field Marshal
lichitsch Governor of Poland.— Gazette d'Augsbourg.
Five Poles, belonging to distinguished families of that
mintry recently quitted Paris to go and partake of the fate
;it their countrymen ; they were the bearers of Russian pass-
wits, obtained before the revolution of the 29th of Novem-
ief. In Prussia, they were all arrested and shut up in the
fortress of Glogau ; afterwards, when it was reflected that
toy were the bearers of Russian passports, it was consi-
tiered that it would be an agreeable thing to Russia to de-
lver up the five captives; an they were directed, under an
-cort, to the frontiers of the empire. One of them had been
Aide-dc-Camp to the Grand Duke Constantine ; it is easy
to conceive the reception which awaited him from his former
General. These unfortunates were obliged to resign them-
..elves to submit to this violence. At the peril of their livesl
tiler cscared from the soldiers who conducted them.—
`Ve are ignorant of what has become of them, or whe-
.l.er they have escaped the pursuit of the Prussian
• •:ice. These five strangers shining not long since in the
„i_.l•est society of Paris; loaded with the gifts of nature
and fortune, have torn themselves from a life of opulence to
and brave in their country battles, proscription, and
death. Neither this devotion, which should have been sacred
amongst civilized people, neither the protection of France,
which they claimed, nothing sheltered them from this igno-
minious treatment; captivity and extradition, behold what
they have been judged worthy of, and now those who a
month ago left every enjoyment, for to assist at the deli-
verance of their country, will expire, perhaps of hunger,
fall under the ball of a Gendarme charged with
weir pursuit. Who gives to Prussia the right of life and
eath upon the citizens of Poland ? Upon what do they
it,nd that abominable jurisprudence, worthy only of
,vages ? What treaty constitutes the Prussian Govern -
;:lent gaoler of Russia ? Is it not a point of honour for
....ance and England, that this sort of hunting, this chase of
men, organised in a part of Germany, should no longer fin-
:, :at upon our epoch the seal of barbarism and ferocity?
ois will be sufficient to justify us before posterity, not to m-
artin neutral in the struggle which is preparing. —Le
ourrier Francais.
