Tit E EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

TUESDAY, FEBROARY 1.

By the Fetafetto of this morning, we have received a
huge packet of Paris Journals, from which we have ex-
tracted some highly interesting intelligence, which we
tkink will be found exclusively in the STAR of to-day.
We have likewise received, from our Correspondent,
an animated address from the Committee, who have
established themselves in Paris, to aid the cause of Polish
independence. It is signed by several of the most distin-
guished characters in the French Capital, and is illustrative
of the public sentiment. There was a time when Great
Britain led the way in such creditable demonstrations of the
national regard to justice ; but, alas ! even her high charac-
ter, as a leader of liberal sentiment in Europe, is beginning
to give way to her poverty of purse, or rather to her ill
divided, unfructifying wealth. The general impression is
strongly conveyed in our correspondent's letter, that France
will either subdue the enemies of representative, government
ia Europe, by her negociation, or by her armies; and the
latter is thought the most probable alternative.

We have a variety of Paris papers this morning, dated
Sunday, the contents of which are highly important. The i
Messager des Chambres has the following word's :—" We ,
learn that his Royal Highness, the Duke de NEMOURS, has ,
been elected KING of the Belgians, by the National Con-
gress, assembled at Brussels, in the sitting of Friday, the
28th of January." Le Temps of the same date says—
" We have been assured that an extraordinary courier has
brought to M. Roo ER, the news of the nomination of the
Duke de NEMOUns, to the throne of Belgium. This nomi-
nation has not given us much astonishment. We well knew
the embarrassment of the Congress. We knew that the
communications which it had received from the Cabinets,
would not permit the appointment of the Duke de LEUCH•
TEN BERG." Le Globe of Sunday gives the same intelli-
gence ; but, on the other hand, the Courtier Francais states
—" from information which we have obtained, we have
reason to believe, that Government has not received any
official account of the election of the Duke de NEMOURS.
It may be expected, that the deliberations of the Congress
will yet last two days ; and consequently, it must be Mon-
day or Tuesday before we can obtain the information." The
Constitutionnel affirms, likewise, that up to nine o'clock the
previous evening, no official account had arrived of this fact
at the Palais Royale. It states, however, that at one
o'clock on Sunday morning, M. Basssox, the French
Envoy at Brussels, had arrived at Paris; and left for Brus-
sels again, two hours after. The Journalde Paris speaks thus:
" At eleven o'clock at night, the Government had received
no intelligence upon the choice made by the Belgian Con-
gress. The latest news from Brussels, dated the 27thin the
evening, announce that the election of the Duke de Ne-
Noy RS will be carried on the morrow, with very few difficul-
ties ; it is added that Lord PONSONBT had declared to the
Diplomatic Committee that the choice of the Duke de
LEUCHTENBILRO will be less agreeable to England. Thus,
the election of the Duke de Nutou as is probable ; perhaps
it is made at this moment : but the news which is given by
the Messager is premature." To these extracts we
have to add one from the Journal du Commerce,
crediting the news, and adding, in corroboration of
the Journal de Paris, that In the sitting of the
27th, the Congress received communication of a note from

Lord Ponsonby, making known that the nomination of the
Duke de LEUCHTEN BERG would be, of all the combina-
tions, the most disagreeable to England." To these details,
which we have extracted from six of the principal Paris
papers, we have to state, that our private Cor-
respondent has written to us, assuring us, that the
universal belief of all circles in Paris is, that the
Duke de N mamma is certainly destined to be Ring
of the Belgians, with the private assent of the
French and English Cabinets. We leave our Readers to
form their own conclusions ; having submitted to them all
the means we possess of forming their opinions upon the
fact. If any thing official transpire in the course of the
afternoon, we will not fail to lay it before our Readers.

The language of the French Ministers might lead the
Poles to despair of aid from France, if the Poles and Polish
principles had not allies in such men as LA FAYETTE, Da
LABORDI, and MAUOU ix. Poland is, doubtless, severed
from France by Prussia and Saxony; but the latter would be
the ally rather than the opponent of a liberating army, and
such an army would find allies every where. Marshal
Soy LT has, however, proved himself the best friend to the
liberties and peace of Europe, by raising the French armies
to the war standard. Prussia and Austria would rather
guarantee the independence of Poland, than 100,000 French
should march into the North, or than a single regiment
should cross the Alps : we confess, therefore, that we
think the independence of Poland is assured; and, by
demonstrations and diplomacy, without bloodshed. This,
however, seems certain, that France is, if necessary, both
ready and willing to give the AUTOCRAT the meeting in
Poland, if he demand the bond which was executed at the
ever-infamous Congress of Vienna, to which modern France
does not consider itself a party. So, also, if the Belgians
seek union with France, she will again extend her boundaries
to the Rhine, and she announces herself as competent and
willing to do this, A few days will decide these great
questions; bet, thank Goa, they are remote from British
interests, and time has shown that it is of no consequence to
US who is outer of the Scheldt, to keg as it is free to
