TO FOREIGN CORRESPONDENTS.

••• In the Political Department of the STAR, its Readers are aware
,hat due attention has been paid to the importance of the events pro-
gressing on the CONTINENT. This Paper not only presents the
t•pitit of the best French Journals; but the original observations of
an intelligent Correspondent in Paris. The Revolutions in BEL.
GIVM, POLAND, ITALY, and SWITZERLAND, arc events which
have so rapidly succeeded each other, that a Journalist has found it
difficult to make his arrangements keep Imo, with his desire to gratify
his readers, with the earliest information. These arrangements will not
he neglected ; but, in the mean time, the conductors of the STAR invite
runtrc MEN, in all countries, who desire that interesting facts and
statements should, in an UNOARBLED MANNER, be laid before the
British nation, to transmit the same to the STAR Office, London. They

are particularly anxious to receive original communications from
Poland ; and also from Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Prussia, and
Austria, whether from English travellers or residents, or public-spirited
natives. Hitherto the world has been hood-winked by Journals and
Ga7ettes, published under arbitrary surveillance; but a genuine British
Journal ought to derive its information, as far as possible, from less
suspicious sources ; and this it is the determination, of the conductors
q: the STAR, to effect as far as possible.

H E EVENING STAR.

LONDON.

MONDAY, MARCH 28.

A Deputation of West India Agents, consisting of
Mr. BURGE, Mr. MAYERS, Mr. COLQUHOUN, and Mr.
ANTHONY BROWN, had an interview this morning, with
Lord GODERICH at the Colonial Office.

Dispatches have this day been received by Lord PAL-
M ERSTON, at the Foreign Office. from Lord GRANVILLE and
Sir CHARLES BAGOT, our Ambassadors at Paris and the

Hague.
It will be seen by our City letter, that vague rumours are
afloat this morning, of counter-revolutionary movements in
Brussels, in favour of the Prince of ORANGE ; but they up-
pear to us totally unworthy of credit ; and the despatches
received by Government this morning from Brussels, we
can assure the public, are silent on the subject—although
from several, in themselves, unimportant facts, mentioned in
the French papers, we are sorry to suTect some incipient
v ant of union in the patriotic councils.

We give his Majesty's Ministers full credit for their ru-
woured mediation between Russia and Poland. The French

papers affirm, that the severe sufferings of the Poles have
been ably pressed on the notice of our Cabinet, by Lord
Blt ot.o it A3l ; nail that, in consequence, instructions were
lately sent to our Ambassador at Petersburg. The fact is
rendered probable, by the character of this Friend of Li-
berty, and of our Liberal Cabinet. The French Journals
insinuate, however, that the mutual exasperation is too
great for either, at present. to listen to mediation. Since
the victories of the Poles. and dispersion and flight tsd the
Russian armies. mediation may even be less successful ; but
it was a duty to offer it. For our parts we think, not only
that the Poles will succeed, but that they ought to succeed,
and that it is the common interest of all Europe. Ever
i-ince Russia made its last acquisitions in Turkey, it has
been more incumbent on Europe, to deprive so overgrown an
Empire of Poland, and to render Poland the impregnable
bonier of Europe. Prussia, Germany, Belgium, France,
and even Britain, are interested in this measure ; and it ap-
pears, that very slight assistance to Poland would now effect
this object. It has been remarked, that since the defeat of
the Russians, the Berlin journals have evinced less hostility
to the Polish cause ; may we not hope, therefore, that the
King of Payssta derives independence from the success of
the Poles ; and perhaps the armed neutrality, of which we
heard last week, may have for its object some stand against
the Russians. Polish liberty can, however, only be assured
by France ; for, in that respect, we should be almost as jea-
lous of Prussia as of Russia itself. At any rate, the gallant
resistance of the Poles, the prospect of a more extended in-

~_-- ~-

miN.,...••••

surrection, and the common interest of the Powers, are, in
our opinion, likely to restore this heroic country to the map
of Europe.

The arrival of the Estafette of this morning has not
brought so many novelties from the French Press, as we are
usually favoured with,from that prolific source of Continental
Intelligence; and the purport of it we shall endeavour to con-
dense, without troubling our Readers with many long ex-
tracts from the different Papers.
All accounts represent the Poles as hitherto successful;
but we fear the following extract from Le Journal de Paris
is too sound, not to be borne in mind by all who are anxious
in the Polish cause :

" The news from Poland is encouraging. The heroism of the
Polish army has driven back the Russians from the capital. All
Europe resounds with the high feats of arms which were accomplished
under Praga. But we must not allow the interest raised for the
Poles to slacken, and believe her saved, because she has
.beew
valoious. We must not deceive ourselves by forgetting, that
the state of the country at this period of the year, the marshy
state of the land, and the effects of the thaw, have in a
great part paralysed the movements of the grand masses of the Russian
army. When the marshes shall have become practicable, when the
soil becomes firm, it is to be feared that Dicbitsch will rally his
immense hordes. and crush with numbers, an army so admirable by
its valour, but which long combats will decimate. In 1794, Warsaw,
was most miraculously saved; but soon after, Kosciusko and his army
sunk under the reiterated abets of the Russians. It is our
duty to repeat it—Poland is lost, if European civilization
by a diplomacy strong and decided, does not make the Cur know that
she intends to maintain the barrier, which separates Europe from bar-
barism. There is glory to be acquired; new and beautiful pages in
history, if we aid not the Poles; but we shall be witnesses of the most
frightful spectacle—right ceding to force, and cunning triumphing over
loyalty. We hope this will not be the case ; that events which are pre-
cipitating us towards war, may force us to be generous ; but we cannot
too often repeat to the patriots of all countries, the ruin of Poland is but
adjourned, if she has not succour."

Such are the natural apprehensions of the real friends to
the Poles ; but as yet nothing appears to check the fond
hopes, that they will so follow up their present victorious
career, as to do more than merely scotch the snake,
but not stop till they have killed it. In corroboration
of these hopes we find in these papers, that an
addition of ten thousand young recruits have joined
the patriotic army, and that volunteers are joining from all
quarters—which is the natural result of success. The com-
mandant of Zamose has formed tin escadron mobile, which
has proved most effectual in harrassing the left wing of the
Russian army. This forco destroyed the magazines near
Lublin, and principally occasioned the retreat of Gen. Kreutz.
In addition to all this, which may be considered favourable,
we have a paragraph from Frankfurt of the 19th March,
stating that a Courier Extraordinary had brought news of
the defeat of the Russian army at Plock ; and the intelli-
gence from Leipsic of the 17th, announces that the Poles
had been successful. Wo like such news coming front such
quarters.

Accounts from Warsaw indicate the Diet is:about to re-
move from the immediate seat of war, at Warsaw to
Micchow near Cracow, a mountainous district of greater
security and independence, than the Champaign districts of
lower Poland. If this does not diminish public confidence,
it is a wise measure ; for Legislative deliberations ought not
to take place amid the din of war.

DIEBITSCH is now stated to be at Garlowin, instead of
being in the opposite direction at Plock ; and hence it
would appear that his attention is diverted from 'Warsaw,
by the successes of DwERNICK I at Lublin, and in Vol-
hynia ; and that all his boastings end in intercepting the
communications of those Palatinates with Warsaw. Pro-
bably the only division of his army capable of action, is
that left near Praga ; and the march on Plock proved im-
practicable and ruinous.

In France the new ministry has placed itself at issue with
LAFAYETTE and the patriots, by proscribing the new associ-
ation, and threatening with dismissal any authority which
joins it. This war against public opinion cannot last long.
LOUIS PHILIPPE must be King of the people, and not
of a faction ; and there never existed a popular
Government, so much at issue with the popular
feelings, as the. present Government of France. In
that country, and out of it, there is but one opinion of the
conduct of successive ministries to the SPANISH, Ber.c lc,
ITALIAN, and Foust! patriots. The accounts from Italy
are afflicting. Austrian despotism is triumphant and uncon-
trolled.

Just as we were going to press, we received Hamburgh
papers to the 25th inst. which contain the following passage :

HAMBURG, Ma.acu 25.

The Prussian State Gazette of yesterday contains a semi.official
letter from Siennica, the Russian head quarters, dated the lath inst.
It contains an amount of several partial engagements, in which it ap-
pears the Russians were victorious, notwithstanding the obstinate bra.
very with which the Poles defended themselves.

At the village of Kralusyn, a detachment of about 1,000 Polish
militiamen were attacked by four squadrons of Russian lancers. Two
hundred men, including six officers, were taken prisoners, and the re-
mainder dispersed.

Lublin has again fallen into the bands of the Russians, after having,
on a former occasion, expelled the garrison left there by Gen. Smuts.
The defence of the inhabitants appears to have been gallant in the ex-
treme, and it was not till the dismounted cavalry of the Russians had
forced the barricades in the streets, that the inhabitants submitted.
liamburgh Papers, March 28.

By the Dutch mail this day, we have the Prussian State
Gazette, to the 22d instant, containing a vague and exparte
account of the Russian and Polish operations. This account,
we conceive, still further strengthens the belief that the
Russians are barrassed, almost beyond eudurance. The
Dutch papers, to the 26th March, are not remarkable for
any striking intelligence ; and a passage from the Austrian
Observer, of the 17th instant,would lead us to infer, that the
affairs of Italy are not so prosperous as we could wish.
FROM THE POLISH LITEUANILAN FRONTIEMI' March 17.
The detachments of troops
.sent out by the Russian Commander.in.
Chief, have cleared the country of the Cracorites, and taken many of
them prisoners. The van of the Russian Guard arrived at Raygrod on
the 17th inst. The Pontoons sent to the army, passed through
on the 13th. The Russians enjoy excellent health. The Polish
Lieut.-Colonel Zwolniski, who came from Modlin to the army of the
lawful sovereign. has been followed by almost his whole battalion.
Many Polish soldiers, it is said, desert from Modlin to the Russians.
Beaux, March 20, Half-past six p.as.—We have just received &Os
following extract of a letter from the Russian Head-quarters,
which being too late for insertion in the state Gazette, to-day,
weitublish it in a supplement to be given out to-MOl7Oll morning.
