FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
AFFAIRS OF POLAND.
The following is from the National:—" Letters from Warsaw
state, that the Grand Duke Constantine had not been able to effect hi,
passage acmes the Vistula, as it was asserted, but is detained
on the Inner side of the river, and completely surrounded by the
Polish troops. The critical situation in which the Grand Duke
found himself placed, afforded an opportunity to the Provisional tin.
vernment to throw troops into the fortress of Modlin, seven leagues
from Warsaw, on the other side of the Vistula. The hnportance Ode.
possession of:the fortress by the Provisional Government, as a military
post, in which there are stores of ammunition and arms, may we 3
be conceived. Other letters announce that the insurrection haa spud,
and assumed a most formidable character, Serious movements are
said to have taken piece at Lemberg, the capital of Galin:, in
Austrian Poland. If, as there is every reason to expect, this ee,,,
is confirmed, and the duchy of Posen answers to the call of
and Warsaw, we shall, ere long, hear that the whole of the ai.eie.,t
and valorous republic of Poland is in arms, protesting agaeast ti.e
iniquitous dismemberments of the years 1793 and 1795. Let.
ten from Posen of the Sd Instant announce, that the public mint
is in a state of great agitation. The admission into the Prov.sineal
Council of the learned Professor Lelewel and Count Ostrowski, bona
I true patriots, augurs well for the national cause. The Polish army i,
organizing with astonishing rapidity, and will amount to 100,000 west,
It is rumoured that,Wilaa, the capital of Lithuania, is in the same ma,
as Warsaw ; and the Rector of the University of Wilma, who had sold
himself to Russia, has been hanged. If the last account be tear,
the four principal points in the north, Warsaw, Konigsberg, Wilma,
and Leopoldstadt, have already proclaimed principles of likorty.
"A letter from Berlin, in the Atsgsberrg Gazette, in announcing tit-
departure of Marshal Dicbitach from Berlin, observes, that as lie wii I
find the Russian army that was offered for the assistance of Prete i
needy for battle, the insurrection in Poland will probably be put tbs.:l
in three weeks. The writer adds—`Satisfactory as this prospect is,
much confusion and mischief are to be expected.'
" The Hawthuryh Corre.pondewt of the Bth inlet. states, that cot.-
triunicatinns between Berlin and Warsaw are intercepted, and no privet,
intelligence can pass.
"Letters from Metz confirm the report of the retrograde move.
ment of the troops that were marching from Old Prussia.—Con.
siitationad.
" The Monsieur contains a royal ordinance, whereby, amongst mans
other regulations as to the victualling of the navy, it is decried, that
from the Ist of January next, the central administration of the subsist.
ences of the marine, instituted by an ordinance of the 18th of Decem-
ber, 1817, is suppressed, and the victualling service will form • fifth
branch of the department of the marine, under the title of Dineen
des Subsistences. Its relations with the Minister of the Marine will Le
the same as in the other departments.
" The Minister of War has given orders to the Director of Artillery
at Metz to send immediately, by the most expeditious conveyance,
the Director of Artillery at Tours, 0000 muskets, 1,334 of which are
destined for the National Guards of the Department of the Cher.
" A telegraphic despatch was received at Marseilles on the 6th hie.
countermanding the orders given for the expulsion of the Pieem muss
refugees, at the demand of the Sardinian Government.
" The following intelligence is dated Fribourg, Dec. 8 The SI
vereign Council has just opened the session so eagerly looked fn..—
Every thing indicates that they will be occupied upon important affairs,
and that the results of their deliberations will be in conformity with the
necessities of the times and the demands of the people ; that they wll
consolidate liberty, and be a new guarantee for internal stability and
peace. The Government sill propose the long-required change in the
electoral system. The satisfaction of the people on this first sitting wised
have been complete but for an audacious attack upon the liberties of the
press. There must have been a large portion of tenacity to have brow, l t
forward such a subject at a moment like the pre-ent, and call for fresi
fetters upon the people. The deputies of the rural communes of the
canton at Basle have accepted the modifications of the corstituti m
proposed by the old Government, but apprehend that the people wII
not be perfectly satiafiel with what had been done. Several of tilt tu
fear they will be ill received on their return home, and wish to remain
at Basle until the effect Is seen, with which they w bee ene ac•
quainted tomorrow. The inhabitants of Basle have taken every meat s
of repelling force by force.'
" The Nuremburga Correspcouleat contains the following, dated
Frontiers of Italy, Dec. 2 The representation of the wellaknowe
opera La Meet!, de Partici, at the Theatre della Scala at Milan, was
the occasion of a riot a few evenings ago, in which the commanding
General, Count Walmoden, was threatened. The latter being informed
of it in time, took measures accordingly. Between the acts an unusual
noise being heard in the crowded auditory, the :cumin was drawn up,
and the stage appeared covered with a great number of Hungarian
Grenadiers, whose unequivocal pasture filled the rioters with terror. At
the same time the necessary measures had been adopted outside the
theatre, whereby the authorities were enabled to arrest the ringleaders,
and disperse the multitude.' The same Paper announces that several
places in the vicinity of Setters, in the Duchy of Nassau, the at people
have risen to obtain a redress of their grievances. Troops have been
sent from Wiesbaden to restore order.
" Extract of a private letter of the sth inst. from Rome
dinal Paces has great influence over the more aged Princes of the
church, and it is thought that he will employ his utmost efforts to ob-
tain the nomination of a Pope whose opinions are the same as his own,
namely, anti-Galilean and intolerant. Cardinal Gregorio is ment.
tinned as likely to succeed; and it is believed that, under his
reign, the thunders of the Vatican will not be spared, titter for the
philosophers or for the liberals. This report obtains consistence when it
is considered that on this occasion Austria will have the whole predo-
minance in the Conclave. Many foteigners arrive from Naplesand Flo-
rence to witness the funeral of the late Holy Father, who has left
so entail a fortune for his family, that they will scarcely have
wherewith to woke la their rank. The Batted College is at
this moment composed of 55 Cardinals ; 10 plates are vacant. Of these
55 six are of the order of bishops, 30 priests, and 10 deacons. The
chief Cardinals are Paces, who is Dean of the Sacred College; Cardinal
Ruffle &ilia, and Cardinal Albani. Those absent at this time from
Italy are Rodolphe of Austria, who is in Moravia; Ribero and Jovella-
nee in Spain Silva, in Portugal ;de Crol and Rohan Chabot, in
Switzerland ' • Lail, in Scotland; Rudnay, in Hungary ; and board.
in France. Of the existing Cardinals, 28 were created by Pius VII. 24
by lies XII. and 5 by Pius VIII."

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.-81wwisto or Dcc. 13.
Previous to the opening of the sitting, a crown of laurel was remarked
at the place where AL Benjamin Constant was accustomed to take his
seat It was afterwards removed by N. Grouchy, upon observations
made to him by some of his hon. colleagues.
The order of the day was then resumed, the discussion of the law
project relative to the National Guards.

AI. Alexandre de la Rochefoucault admired the spectacle of a whole
nation taking up urns for the defence of their rights and propettb and
'mkt vote for the project, whit certain amendments.

N M. Eusebe Salome said he Amid mine himself to examining
the subject in a general point of view. His at observation fell upon
the basis of the law. He had sought foe that bads, but had not bets
able to discover it. The law set forth that a new census should be
aka I but it did not appear that them was any guarantee fur this
Mama being faithful and exact. The hon. deputy conceived that this
result could not be obtained, and particularly in large towns, unless by
instituting a penalty against such as might attempt to evade entering
into the service of the National Guards. The hon. member then coin.
limbed that the law projest made no mention of those residents who

fore, he denounced as a positive crime every attempt to lead the roan.
try into a war. It had been said that the party to which he alluded,
were urging France into war, and would render it inevitable, by their
publications in the journals, and their speeches iu the Chamber.—
But the hon. deputy, reasoning by comparison, thought that this
.1.4 not the case. Supposing that the journals printed at Vienna orj
St. Petersburgh were to say unpleasant things, and allow them-
selves to attack the Government of the King whom France had chosen
tie herself, they could not on that account be accused of wishing to ex.
cite hostilities. It had been said that speeches of hon. deputies, uttered
in that Chamber, bad resounded throughout Europe, and caused sove-
reigns to tremble on their thrones. lie would answer this also by an
hypothesis: Suppose that the Grand Seignor, or the Czar, addressing
their subjects—the first by a firman and the second by an ukase,—it
was quite certain that their language would convey the principles of '
divine right and absolute power. Would It follow that their words were
equivalent to a declaration of war ? It would be the same in France
when, conformably to the principles of the existing government,it might,
be declared in that Chamber, under a tyrannical Government,
:nsurrection was the most sacred of duties, and under a government that
was truly Constitutional obedience to the laws was the most sacred of
riutiec. Sutely, said 111. Salverte, a manifestation of these principles,
which form the very basis of the constitution, is far from being a menace
to any throne. In the present state of Europe, let the sentiments of a
learned jurisconsult and profound politician be loudly repeated—' Let
every man be master within his own domains.' If the doctrines quoted
Amnia be made a pretext by any power to attack France, she would
hare a well-organised army to meet the attack ; she would have the
whole of her sons in arms by virtue of the law now under discussion, in
farour of which he (the hon, member) would vote.
31.131 in de Bourdon strongly opposed the law, and more particu.
larly that part of it which related to the moveable Guards.
M. de Tracy said, it had been suggested that the arming of the
population would create alarm in certain parts of France, but from
whence this apprehension could have arisen, he had been unable to dis-
cover. On the contrary, lie conceived the difilcully was in restraining the
ardour of the people. Should foreigners, gentlemen,' added the hon.
member, dare to attack us, in an instant millions of Frenchmen would
fly to the frontiers, and teach them to repent bitterly of their miscon-
ception of the patriotism that animates the bosoms of every one of our
tellow-countrymen. (Cheers.) The last speaker considered the system
of the Moveable Guards as an oppression, but I on the contrary reply
that, in cue of invasion, it would instead of a burden be an honour.—
Never, under any circumstances, was a law proposed mote satisfactory
to the whole nation than that now under discussion.'
31. Gillon pointed out various objectionable points in the law. Ile
particularly noticed the councils for taking the census which were ap-
pointed to settle the rolls of the several companies, and arrange the
expenses of the service, and conceived they were inadequate to duties so
varied and extensive. The composition of these councils, which were
to consist of 30 citizens, would also be an obstacle. After a very de.
tailed examination of the articles of the project, and of the amendments
made by the committee, which he found to be nearly as imperfect as the
original articles, be declared that he could not vote in favour of the law
until all the different amendments proposed in the Chamber had been
adopted.
"M. blarschall then proposed that the numerous amendments
brought forward (they were upwards of 120) should be referred to the
committee, which atter a short and desultory debate, was adopted.

Lord's (Teynham) indisposition, who had moved for certain papers re-
latit•c to the Swan River Settlement, that motion was, fur the present

Lord KING, in presenting some petitions for a repeal of the Union„
said he was satisfied that much mischief would undoubtedly arise if such
a step was carried into effect; it would make those poor who were now
rich, without making Lich those who :were now poor. One of
the present measures that would be adopted after a repeal
of :the Union, would be to exclude Irish agricultural]produce
from the English market, and, in abort, led to a total separation of the
two countries. The noble lord concluded by saying, as he did not eon.
cur In the prayer of the petitions, he wished they had been committed
to the care of some other noble lord.

The petitions which were presented from the paper stainers and carpet
weavers of Dublin were then laid on the table..—Left sitting.
