PARIS. JANIIAILT IS.
H ANOVER.
Hanover, unto the present time very aristocratically go-
verned by the nobility of the country and by Count Mon-
ster, Minister from London, charged by the King of
England with the affairs of this kingdom, has also com-
menced its revolution. It has not burst in the capital ; for
the inhabitants of the city of Hanover are composed princi-
pally of the nobility and the high administration of the
country, all strongly attached to the ancient order of things,
but it is in the city of Gottingen, where the movement has
commenced. That celebrated University has taken in some
sort the initiative, in the name of the kingdom. Since
George 111. the Kings of England have nearly entirely
abandoned the government of Hanover to Count Munster and
the nobility of the country, the most aristocratic and the
most infatuated of all Germany. This kingdom, of which
the population amounts at this day to fifteen hundred thou-
sand souls, occupies, in the north of Germany, one of the
first places amongst the states of the Confederation of the
Rhine. This revolution, which must exercise a great in-
fluence in Germany, will, in its end, constrain Prussia, who
for a long time has coveted Hanover. In the sitting of the
Chamber:prof:crudes of the 15th of the month, General La-
fayette a to betinspired with a presentiment, and others
were not wanting in an anticipated knowledge of this event.
When, in speaking of the principle of non-intervention, Ge-
neral Lafayette said : " The hour advances which will not
permit me to stir up an important question. But if we had
an insurrection in the kingdom of Hanover, would not the
Germanic Confederation regard as an act of foreign inter-
vention, the sending an English army into the country?
Well, gentlemen, the Poles and the Russians, whohave also
the same Monarch, are not they also foreigners, as much as
the Hanoverian, and the English ?"—Le National.

BELi.-11Uhl.

The Belgian Congress and the Diplomacy play at chess ;
all the Kings are check-mated."—Figaro.
We read yesterday, with astonishment, in a journal, a
Proclamation, true or false, from the Prince of Orange to
Belgium ;in which was nothing satisfactory. The senti-
ments expressed in it are not elevated or electric, and the
style is on a level with the sentiments ; moreover, the
Orangists have as little popularity with our neighbours as
the Cellists have with us. For, to the contempt which the
name of Nassau inspires, is joined the hatred as foreigners.
That House then is for ever repulsed from the soil of Bel-
gium, and most certainly they well merit it. The possibility
of the renewing hostilities renders still more necessary ►he
loan, which M. de Celles is, it is said, charged to make.
Already several English capitalists have presented themselves
to fill it up, and we are assured that their propositions are far
from being onerous. We can readily perceive, that Bel-
gium is perhaps the richest country in Europe, from
its soil and its industry; and Belgium is not
yet in debt. We are assured that the subscribing bankers
offer conditions equally advantageous to a Regency as to a
King. This is a chance more in favour of the first form of
Government, for which we fear not to express our greatest
sympathy. It is in fact that which will contribute the
more to bring about the order of things for which our
brothers appeal to us with all their wishes. And when we
speak thus, we warn our rivals, and invite them, to be
upon their guard. All the coalitions possible will not
binder the " march of intellect," nor the events to which
they give birth ; the force of events impels. The English
Aristocracy have quite enough to debate and struggle
with ; their debt and Ireland is the security for our future.
—lt is said that the Prince of Orange is to return to the
Hague, and that be will publish a proclamation to the Bel-
gians. On this subject, the provisionary Government have
demanded of the French Ministry, a bether they will tolerate
an invading army of the Dutch, with the Prince at its bead.
The reply has been, it is said, that they will consider it as a
violation of the system of non-intervention, and they should
believe themselves authorised to repulse force by force. An
attempt of the Nassau. would only be permitted to take place,
in case of a Belgian movement. It would then be an affair
of internal agitation. That is reason and energy.—Le Can-
stitictionnel.

POLAND.
Letters from Berlin of the 10th, speak of a regiment of
the Lithuanian army which has gone over to the side of the
Poles.—Messager des Chambres.
We are assured that there have been already some en-
tirnts between the advanced guards of the Poles and
stilene , which has been to the advantage of the Poles.
The last having taken six pieces of cannon, and made 1,500
prisoners.—Le Globe.
General Paskewitsch is spoken of to replace General
Diebitach, who is still sick, in the chief command of the
Russian army. Notwithstanding this General was born in
Lithuania, and made his first campaigns under Kosciusko,
during the war of Polish independence. So much the Em-
peror confided to his fidelity and bravery, when combating
the Persians and Turks, that be has not shunned putting his
patriotism to the proof by employing him to exterminate
Poles, and to annihilate the liberty and independence of his
country. The " Marseillaise" has been translated into
Polish, and is sung in chorus by the workmen during their
labour.—Le Constiturionnel.
EITHUSIASM or THZ Poues.—The Gazette d'Augs-
burg contains the following letter dated Warsaw, Dec. 30.
Sines the day the Russian proclamation was known in this
city, we have remarked amongst all classes of the inhabit-
ants, an enthusiasm, which was never greater in the se-
vere combats of Poland for independence. This enthu-
siasm nearly justifies the hope which the Poles nourish for
their enterprise, if the forces displayed by Russia were less
formidable. The Dictator finds every where an obedience
Without limits. Sixty-four thousand soldiers and fifty thou-
sand National Guards are on their march for the frontiers •
they are re-inforced at each step by troops of peasants armed
with lances and pitchforks. The clergy animate them to
combat. The preparations continue with ardour, and a
bloody engagement is expected.—A Pole, named Theodore
Sscraniecki, newly arrived front Paris, has inserted in the
/demure de Warsaw, an article, which is full of the sym-
pathy which the revolution of Poland finds in France. The
Jews of Poland have addressed to the National Cowbell a
petition, in which they demand permission to fight like others
against the Rumbas. This &nand has been accorded to
them.—Gasette d'etat de Prune. _ _ _

BlnLrl, Jan. 1::111;inTel-aanatios of St. Petenthurgh
of the 19th of Dec. has readered yet more ardent the seal of
the Poles to arm themesives. Some Germans who arrived
yesterday from Warsaw, say that 100.000 men of regular
troops have left for the borders of the Bug; and that in the
country. all those who have power to carry arms, run to the
place of assembling. As for the rest, all is tranquil upon the
frontiers, which is respected on all sides. Jour. des Debate.
POLAND.—WAssAw, Jan. 6.—The cholera maims is
constantly spoken of; happily it has not yet penetrated into
Poked ; but it appears that it has shown itself in Ciallacin,
sad there is no more doubt but it will do so is Vollsynia. In
all these cases the Rumba army brine it to us; this it will
soon leap into Germany. It becomes thus a Wont of Folks-
ier' for Europe. The Dist, during its short re-union, laid
dews the basis of a manifesto of the Polish nation, which
wee to be published in sees they recognised the impossibility
