POLAND AND RUSSIA.

WARSAW, JAN. 17.—There is an immense manufactory
established for the workmanship of arms : 3,800 men are
employed. All the forges, all the steam engines, that could
be found in the city, are occupied with this work.
SILESIA, BRasLAw, JAN. 15.—From all the news which
ae have received, the Russian army will be joined the 24th
of this month by the reserve of Grenadiers for which it waits,
and which completes its centralisation. From that day the mi-
litary operations will commence on two lines, the one upon
the route of Bialystock, and the other upon that of Brzesc;
and that they may not want provisions they will make the
greatest efforts to penetrate quickly as possible into the
country. It is expected that the Emperor will endeavour to
draw to him as many Poles as possible, by promising them
pardon, and even according to them certain advantages in
order to divide the nation; that it may be rendered more easy
to him to obtain its submission.— Gazette d'Augsboarg.

BRUSAILS, JAN . 23.—The last courier will have in-
formed you of the events which took place in our sitting of
the 23rd : I am bound then to make you acquainted simply
with the actual state of feeling here. A manifest of the
powers is spoken of, which ordains us to take the Prince of
Orange; and the King of Holland, in his speech at the
"mai of the States-General, on the 20th, declares that
he ameents to the free navigation of the Scheldt, in conse-
quence of the threats of the power,—threats which you will
have read in the Protocol of the 9th of January ; but that
he will never recognize our independence, that he will con-
sider us always as rebels; and that in fact he will seize
spin his power as soon as he can. Behold the result of the
diplomacy of M. Talleyrand : may that result not be the first
blow struck against the throne of his Master! You see then that
we are hushed to despair from all sides, and your Government
which you say is so liberal, so magnanimns, sacrifice us to the
Holy Alliance as would that of Charles X. In this extreme
position, we will not submit but to the force of arms; strong in
the holiness of our cause, which is that of the French people,
we seek for &combination which will obtain for us the most
"'apathy with that people, and we find that in the election
of the Doke of Lenehtenberg. All those who are called
here the French party, and which is composed, as you
know, of partisans who wish for a re-union pure and
simple, such as that of Louis Philipps, or the Duke
of Nemours turn from that to the son of Eugene, who
will be elected to-morrow by the Congress, and who is
ansvael already in the evenings at the. spectacles of the
Theatre. You can have no idea of the indignation which
is shown against the French Cabinet t it is so strong that it
will react even upon the Marquis of Lawoestine, who was
the bearer of that fatal decision. Every body says, that the
former Ordonnarice Officer of Josephine should not have
charged himself with a decree which excluded her grand-
son, nor have brought despair to a nation which had sup-
pereed him during fifteen years of exile. Can you yourself
conceive the conduct of M. Sebastiani ? He antradicts
officially, and in a manner insults our Envoys ; there has
'been for five days, refusals and exclusioas which these same
Envoys have been (Miffed to make known to us, and this
day he repeats officially these same refusals, these
same exclusions l ! This is much too Machiavellic for
our loyal good sense ; so we have taken our party :
" Do what thou wilt, come what may." To-morrow we
will cry " Long live Augustus the First ! I am nearly sure,
the election will terminate to-morrow.

P.S.—The 24th, 3 o'clock.—My letter did not leave yes-
terday evening : there has just been given to Congress a
new communication from M. Sehastiani, which signifies no-
thing. It limits and engages us to Wait. We believe that
the choice of the sing will be made to-day; but they perse-
vere in leaving the settling to the 28th. The French Mi-
nistry will find themselves injured in public opinion. We
shall use whether France applauds the abdication of her
dignity, of her honour and isnoests.
