,Ite Polish General had caused a solemn religious
srvice to be performed, preparatory to an ex-
weed conflict. The Poles were understood to
advancing, and the Russians to be wavering

regarding the removal of the French troois fmm

to the necessity of, while •..e admit the ;eiterrity
to foreign powars of the Periei At:ministration,
much doubting its capability of sternly at;hering to
the path it had proposed.

We observed, at the time we announced he di •
vision on the address in the Chambei , that it was
a majority obtained by tLe admission of important
amendments, and that it could not be considered as
evidence of satisfactory strength in the adminis-
tration. We have this morning enjoyed ilia
advantage of conversation with a gentleman, just
from Paris, whose political experience. and inti-
macy with the arcane of parties there. insp..ess
with a belief in the accuracy of his inform; Lion ;
and he represents that the views we have just
been giving are those which predominate in the
tell-informed political circles. It is rase; ted that
not only have the troops lingered in Belgiutn, to
maintain the popularity of the Perier administra-
tion, but that the British government, and
even the new King of Belgium have been brought
to co-operate in the views of the }leach cabinet.
Marshal Gerard, in the mean while, it is posi-
tively asserted, has written to his lady, a letter,
which has been quoted publicly, stating that were
he to give orders for the entire and immetiate re-
moval of his troops, he could hardly guarantee
obedience to his orders. The pacific views of Mar-
shal Soult are supposed not to be so fixed and well
ascertained as those of his colleagues in power.—
He is believed to hold the opinion, that a war is
inevitable, and to be personally not disinclined to
:hat event, although he acts under those who con-
sider the preservation of peace practicable, and is
not one to frustrate treacherously that policy, until
fairly tried. He is known to have a personal dis-
like to the late Minister, Lafitte, from a proposed
intermarriage between their respective children
having been broken off by the latter ; and is there-
fore naturally attached to the party of the rival
banker, although supposed to be not quite accor-
dant with all his measures.

The account of the state of popular feeling
among the French, generally, given us by this
gentlematils, that an almost entire want of em-
ployment has found a substitute in a universal
warlike spirit, among all the young and active,
must become, he thinks, soon irresistable
;,nd compel the executive to find un object for its
energies, whether one can be found just or unjust.
On the whole, we are sorry to say, we think the
policy of France still very uncertain, and depen-
(it nt on every event v•hich may occur fur a new
de% elopement.

In a previous column we introduce by the
Brasilian Mail, which arrived late last night, a
very sensible proclamation, a la Portuguese, to
the people of Brazil, relative to the late revolution,
and to the policy of the new Government. It
atiords us the same pleasure, which it will our
readers, to contemplate reasonable prospects, that
that matchless and most extensive country is not
likely to suffer by civil discords ; and that under a
liberal Government, it will become a Land of
Promise, to the thousands, who in Europe are suf.
fering by the decreritude of institutions. No
country in the world, in climate, richness, and
variety of soil, and commanding geographical
Position, possesses similar advantages to Brazil;
and al! it requires to insure unparallelled prosperity
ale a liberal Government, and civil and religious
liberty.

We yesterday had not space or time to invite
her.esial attention to a very able paper drawn up by
M. Hunt, read by him in the House of Commons,
:mil obligingly communicated to us for publication.
It exhibits, on undeniable authority, the legal and
constitutional progress of our representative system,
i4:d Of the successive changes in the constituency.
This concession is due to that gentleman ; and we
lament that members of Parliament, in general,
.ire leas free in their communications to the news.
