tofore called a shop. keeping nation ; but on the abatement
of the profits on shop-keeping, we seem to have become a
petitioning nation.
Mr. Hume stated last night, that he had seventy-five to
present, a proof of the confidence reposed in him ; and se-
veral Members presented ten or twelve each. With a view
to some progress in the various onerous duties of the House,
it is to be called over on Friday, and Members not present
are to be taken into custody, and dealt with as the House
judges proper.
Mr. GORDON brought in a Bill to consolidate and amend
the two last acts relative to MAD Houses, a subject of great
abuse, and which calls for a watchful system and honest
superintendence.
In reply to some questions, Lord A LTHORP stated that
the remission of the duties on Coals is to commence from
March I, and to apply to all unsold coals then unshipped.
He also explained that it was intended to regulate the Lon-
don Port Dues on Coals ; but to preserve the scandalous
Richmond shilling. We are, therefore, to presume that all
the corporate machinery is to continue ; and if so, prices
will be little lowered. Perhaps the new bill will, however,
effect the most desirable object of selling by weight instead
of measure. The House adjourned till Friday.
In our notice of Lord How ice's very extraordinary bill,
which is so likely to agitate the parishes of England and
Wales, we omitted to refer our Readers specially to the very
able speech of Mr. SADLER; which, like all the parliamen-
tary addresses of that gentleman, displayed a most inti-
mate knowledge of the state of the country, and of the
remedies suited to the wants of the population. Mr. BE-
N ETT, who has been charged with severe policy, spoke also
on the same question, as a man thoroughly acquainted with
the causes of the present distresses, which both he and Mr.
SADLER ascribed to a false and vicious system, and not to
any redundancy of labouring and efficient population.

The following are the Russian accounts of the progress of
the invading squadrons in Poland. Of course, we need
scarcely say, that such experts details are to be received
with much suspicion :

WARSAW, Frs. 10.

On the 7th the Marshal of the Chamber of Deputies announced the
entrance of the Russian army into the kingdom of Poland, but added,
that this event must not interrupt their deliberations; only it might
be necessary to direct their attention chiefly to such measures as con.
caned the security and arming of the nation. The Chamber then re-
solved to send to the Governor the plan for the formation of National
Guards in the whole kingdom. The Chamber then discussed a
project foe the defence of the country, which the Commander-
in-chief bad presented to the Government, and which had been
modified by the Committee of the Diet. The plan was
adopted. The Chamber decided that the National colours should
be white and red. On the evening of the same day there was a joint
sitting of the two Chambers, to discuss the oath proposed to be taken
by the nation, which had been speed to by the Chamber of Deputies
and rejected by the senate. On the following day it was adopted by
both Chambers, by a majority of 82 to 10

On the same day divine service was performed with much solemnity
in the Metropolitan Church, to implore the protection of Heaven on the
approaching contlict. It was attended by the Government, the two
Chambers, and a peat crowd of people.

Count Louis Jeiki, President of the Polish Bank, is said by the
Polish Gazette, to have left Warsaw last night to go to Vienna.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, Fes. O.
Already on the 6th we were informed here that a Russian corps of
30,000 men, with a large train of artillery, had entered the kingdom,
between Georgenburg and Kamen. This news was not only confirmed
the following day, but we have since learned that the Russian army en.
tend at the same time along the whole Sootier; and that the first men.
tioned corps had occupied not only Augusto', but Novogorod, without
resistance. There were no regular Polish troops in those parts ; sad
the Lanham (levy en manse) threw away their pikes and scythes at the
approach of the Russians, and for the most part dispersed. The inha-
bitants of that country are, as we hear, very glad of the arrival of the
Russians, as they are thereby relieved from the necessity of furnishing
the extensive supplies required by the Polish authorities, and as they
are very well treated by the Russians, who pay for every thing in ready
money.

The irosigabgrg Gautte also mentions the entrance of the Russian
troops, and the occupation of Novogorod (or Neustadt,) and also that
the inhabitants, on learning the near approach of the Russians, Imme-
diately burnt their arms, and set about making white flags to go with
them as a token of submission to inset the Roadass.—Persian St&.
Gazette, PA 18.

FRONTIERS OF POLAND, Fin. 9.
According to the most credible accounts, the Russian awry hes not
yet met with the slightest resistance on its march. In Annum and
Looks, considerable mepeines fell under their hands, and
the inhabitants had every where received them, not only as
friends, but is deliverers from the yoke of an insensate re.
voluttooary Government. Clergymen had gone to meet the Russians,
at the bead of their parishioners, end the disposition of the citizens
and country people were every where good, nor were there the slightest
trace of the animosity and enthusiasm which, according to the
views of our Journali, would make victory infallible. The entrance
of the Russians appears to have been wholly unexpected. The
Poles had no where placed any outposts, nor were the signal Ira
lighted, and some officers, who were going to the frontiers to
obtain information respecting the entrance of the Russians, fell
into the hands of the Cossacks. From all these circumstances
the whole affair may be expected to be shortly terminated.
