PARIS PAPERS OF TUESDAY.

ON THE TAKING OF WARSAW.—We hare
at last the details given by the Prussian Gazettes.
or, what is the same, by the Russians. In spite
of the efforts which have been made in that laco-
nic bulletin, to magnify the character of the Rus-
sians, and lessen that of the Poles, the latter
never appeared to us so truly grand. What patri-
otism, what heroic constancy in the defence of
their native soil ! The Polish army has done its
duty, and in the last moments it has not disap-
pointed the high opinion which all its conduct had
inspired in Europe. It has quitted Warsaw with
the national government, leaving the Russians in
possession of the city. What bitter tears must have
rolled from the eyes of those patriot warriors, who,
after two days' combat, saw themselves too %sok
longer to defends city, at the fortifications of which
all had laboured. Modlin will become the last bulwark
of Poland. If that fortress was nearer the fron-
tier of Prussia, the Polish army might throw itself
into the Grand-Duchy of Posen, and seek to raise
the population. Prussia hasacted sufficiently hos-
tile against the Poles for them not to be very cau-
tious of that power. It is said that upon an event
so important as that of the fall of Warsaw, We
should be reduced to receive the intelligence 01 3
Russian bulletin. It would be presented under
quite another face, if we could listen to the Poles
themselves. But they actually groan under the
Muscovite yoke, and dare but sigh in secret, Wait-
ing the moment of their deliverance. We shalt
see whether the powers will allow the Russians to
act in Poland as in a conquered country. Russia
has given them a proof of disdain by rejecting their
intervention ; the cabinets have the right to instil
upon the constitutional nationality of the Niel' If

the cabinets forget that duty, nations will be in
the right to compel them.—Le Temps.
The following are the details of the sacking of
Warsaw :—The refusal of the Polish army to capi-
tulate, in which they were supported by a part of
the copulation, highly irritated the Russians, and
they came to the assault with unexampled exaspe-
ration. They placed their scaling ladders at so
in,nv points, that the 24,000 men of the Polish
army were insufficient to protect the whole circuit
of the city. The first efforts of the Russians were
Moiler:tun] ; and they were repulsed at every point.
Their rage, however, redoubled, and in some
places they raised mounds of their dead to fill
fip the ditches. After thirty hours of almost
incessant lighting, they entered by a part of the
walls which was not so w,ll guarded as the rest.
The Polish army then retired in good order, con-
stantly followed by the Russians ; but a part of the
lon u Ia ce still resolved to hold out, and here the seen e
,
became most horrible. Almost all who had taken
an active part in the late political movements de-
fended themselves to the last, and sold their lives
dearly. Their resistance redoubled the fury of
the Russians, neither women nor their infants
were spared. It is said that the agents of several
Powers interceded, but the Field Marshal declared
that it was impossible for him at the moment to
restrain his troops on their first entering ; lie how-
. ver, promised that they should be prevented from
continuing their plunder and violence. Almost
oven, door that was not opened was forced, and all
flie horrors of war ensued.— Tribune.
\Viten Paskewitsch approached Warsaw, saw
defences, and considered the heroic spirit of the
Prd‘?s—he feared for the discipline even of Russian
slaves. He waited therefore three or four days for
t supply of brandy, (as necessary as gunpowder),
ind half a pint was served to every man before the
:everal assaults. The whole army, therefore, were
airdly drunk, and hence their terrible slaughter by
Poles, who felled them in hillocks of dead, in-
nu ch their bodies served to fill the ditches
far further advance. But the orders from Peters-
')urgh were to be obeyed, " cost what it might,"
end masses after masses were brought up, till the
Poles yielded to the tide of brute force. Such was
the barbarian and inglorious assault of Warsaw !-1
r Temps.
After Paskewitsch had crossed the Vistula, and
the Poles had been publicly cautioned by the in-1
famous French Ministry, not to hazard a battle,
hut to await their mediation, they so fortified War-1
•,:tv as to secure it against surprise. Paskewitsch I
fund it then too strong to carry by assault,
withaut a sacrifice of life unwarranted by the
h!eodiest examples of war,—and hence his halting
and long hesitation. He apprized his court of his
difficulty, but the answer was a positive order to
carry Warsaw at all hazards, and cost whatever it
may ! This atrocious order, given in the genuine
spirit of despotism, cost the lives of 10,000 Rus-
sians, and 3 or 4,000 Poles, the latter the bravest'
and most heroic of men.—Tribune.

The news of the fall of Warsaw produced in our
^ity the most painful sensation. The mourning is
:eneral. Several vessels have hoisted their flag
i.alf mast high, in token of mourning; but that
mourning is much keener still in all hearts, than in
the exterior demonstrations of general affliction.—
Journal du Havre.

Letters received from Sicily, by extraordinary
dispatch, announce that an insurrectional movement
has taken place at Palermo; these letters say that
the movement is curbed, and it is thought that it
will not burst out immediately.— Constieutionncl.
There is much talk of a change:in the ministry.
Overtures have been made, it is said, to Marshal
Clausel, who is wished to enter, as well as M.
Dupont de l'Eure, into a combination in which
would figure Messrs. Decases and Mole.--Revo-
lution.

The Memorial of Toulouse, of the 14th Sept.
announces, in a postscript, that very serious trou-
bles burst out at Montauban on the 13th, in the
gathering the indirect taxes.
A great number of foreigners having been ar-
rested in the troubles of these two days, the Go-
vernment has taken all the measures which the
law will permit, to remove from the capital those
uho abuse the hospitality they receive. We are
2isured even that, in case of the insufficiency of
the existing laws, the Government has decided to
make a demand immediately to the Chambers, for
special disposition.—Moniteur.
The National, the Tribune, and the Revolts-
have been seized to-day at the Post-office.
Utters from Vienna announce to us posi-
tively, that the pestilential cholera has manifested
.tieq in that city. More than 5t.) persons have
a4ady died, and the Government has made no
communication on the subject.
Three days ago (says the Revolution) the
po!;ee entered the printing-office of the Tribune at
? o'(!ock in the morning. Yesterday morning at
1.11-i.ast -1 this domiciliary visit was repeated. The
lr.ant contained an order to seek all writings,
'lather already printed or in the press, and to
bring M. Auguste Mie to the Prefecture of Police.
‘ivient dispute took place between the polies
.:;(! the printers.
fhe following is a summary of the conclusions
the Commission for revising Article 23 of the
latter, delivered yesterday at the Chamber of
fputies by ill. Berenger:
I. The appointment of the Members of the Chamber of
.s belongs to the King-
2. None can be called to the dignity of Peer except—
"• The Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and other
~titive bodies; Deputies, after three elections, or six

1. These conditions of admissibility to the peerage may
be modified by a law.
5. The ordinance of appointment shall indicate by what
title each peer is chosen.

6. The number of peers is unlimited. Theirdignity is coo-
(erred for life, and is not transmissible by hereditary right.
They take rank according to the order of their nomination.

The street assemblage@ have continued with the
same gravity. This morning the galleries of the
Palais Royal were evacuated at all quarters. A
popular orator especially inflamed the groups by
reading with a loud voice a seditious writing,which
was afterwards posted upon several trees. The
crowd proceeded spontaneowdy towards the Court,
uttering cries of fury ; but strong detachments of
the line barred the passage with their bayonets.
The most irritated then seized the chairs, and
hurled them at the soldiers. The police officers
arriving, succeeded without much difficulty to
drive the groups out of the garden, and to shut the
gates of the galleries. Assemblies were formed at
a later period around the Chamber of Deputies,
and kept increasing until the end of the sitting.
Numerous corps of infantry, cavalry, and national
guard, were stationed upon the quays. But what
took place in the evening was more serious. Con-
siderable masses traversed the Rue St. Honore, ut-
tering the most threatening cries ; dispersed by
charges of cavalry, they immediately reformed, to
the ordinary rallying cries. New attempts at bar-
ricades were spoken of. Several charges were
made in the galleries of the Palau; Royal. We have
to deplore some accidents.—L'Avenir.

We have received this evening a great number
of letters and complaint about the unheard of
charges of brutality which have taken place to-
day, without any summons—without the least
formality of Police—and by soldiers for the most
part intoxicated, and over whom their officers had
no power. Several persons have been grievously
wounded. An unfortunate workman was carried
bathed in blood into an apothecary's, in the Rue
Saint Anne, where he died a few minutes after.
To-morrow we will give the details. But you tee
the conduct of that power which boasts to-day at
the Chamber. Warsaw has fallen !—Let us arm
against the Parisian population I !—The fall of
Poland causes general agitation ;—let us charge
and sabre to suppress the agitation !—That calls
itself a government born of the revolution of July,
and based upon the dogma of the national so-
verignty ! ! I—Triune.
We hare received to-day letters from a great
number of National Guards, who have united to
sign addresses to protest against the orders of the
Ministry. We shall see whether it is easy to tram-
ple under foot the opinions of a great city, and of
renewing all the worst parts of the restoration, at
the distance of one year from the revolution which
overthrew it. In the midst of these agitations, there
remains but little attention for that which passes in
the Chamber; and besides, it is easy to foresee
that the magic word tumult, will create excitement
in the centres, and usurp the place of eloquence
and right. We have learned, for the hundredth
time, that we could not traverse Prussia, to go to
the assistance Poland, and that consequently, all
was for the best. We have learnt also that the
nationality of Poland was assured ; that has excited
transports. It may be remembered that the Cham-
ber of 1830, was ravished when it was announced
that the Romagnols were going to have municipal
institutions, and to enjoy liberty. We have seen
what were those institutions, and that liberty,
we shall soon see what the nationality is,
granted by the Autocrat.—Courrier Francais.
COUNT LOBAU TO THE NATIONAL GUARD.

ORDEI or TEE Dax.—The news recently published
respecting heroic Poland, have diffused sadness through
Paris ; and as if such a misfortune were sot
sufficient for France, the eternal enemies of public
tranquillity,—the men of trouble and disorder—have at.
tempted to add to this legitimate sorrow another not less
melancholy and still more distressing. All paseroas have
been appealed to to mislead a peaceable population, add to
instigate them to the most deplorable excesses; but these
culpable efforts have been defeated by the good sense of the
people, aid the enlightened patriotism by which they are so
happily animated. By showing themselves deaf to the ex-
citements of hatred, and the no less dangerous insinuations
of calumny, they have proved that they understand their
true interest, and that they are not to be moved by vain
tlamours.

On this occasion the Marshal, commanding in chief,
hastens to fulfil a duty which is very gratifying to him—that
of thanking his comrades for their conduct in these troubles,
and for the seal with which they have answered his different
calls, and particularly in the evening of yesterday. The
firmness which they diopleyed on that °melon, as on every
other, would of itself suffice for the safety of all. What
may ,that firmness not accomplish, aided by the powerful
support of the different cos of the army, which will not,
any mere than the National Guard, submit to the yoke of the
streets and .be influence of mobs, but who, like the Guard,
will combat them with indefatigable energy.
Let the abettors of disorder rely on this indissoluble al.
Hance of power and will, and may the conviction of their
own weakness preserve them from new attempts which can-
not fail to be fatal fo them !

It is useless to claim from the National Guards the
continuance of their zeal, and a punctuality always in-
creasing in the different services to which they may be
called. With them that conduct is an affair of honour,
and for all others a pledge of peace, a guarantee of se-
curity.
On his part, the Marshal commanding in chief is aware
of all his duties, and knows how to fulfil them.
