Star.

the State gain or lose by the revenues of Luxemburgh, the
annexation is of greater political importance than mere re-
venue; while to the King of HoLLa AD, so detached a ter-
ritory, must be a mere question of revenue.

At the same time, the nations concerned seem to owe
much to the seal with which the British Envoy, Lord PoN-

SON BY, appears to be labouring, to reconcile jarring and con-
tradictory interests; and in spite of Protocols, and Pride,
and Pertinacity, we still hope that all the difficulties of
of these questions will be speedily adjusted, without further
bloodshed.

We have the Prussian State Gazette this day, to the
21st instant, bringing intelligence of the operations of the
Polish Generals, as far down as the 17th, being eighteen
days later than any official accounts which have before
reached us. The details which we this day present to our
Readers from the above source, and from what we are ena-
bled to add from the Paris papers, received by us this day,
exhibit, in fact, a series of splendid and uninterrupted suc-
cesses, on the part of the Poles, in which Generals
CIIRZANowsxI and DEMBEN SK I distinguished them-
selves, by a display of energy and military talent,
seldom equalled. It is sufficiently proved by these details,
that if the Russians are paralyzed, the Poles are not. They
have replaced their active corps at Z3MOBC, by a coup de
main, in which eight thousand Poles passed through
the quarters of the Russian divisions. The Lithu-
anians are also effecting a powerful diversion, in the rear
of the Russian army. A report is current, as will appear
by our extracts, that DIEBITSCII is to be superseded; which
would not surprise us, after such repeated defeats.
The Journal des Debate of Wednesday, states, from the
Frontiers of Gallicia of the 10th, that Gereral DW MK'
has formally protested against his treatment by the Austrian
Government, invoking the Ambassadors of France and Eng-
land at Vienna there to interfere.

If our readers will do us the justice, to compare the foreign
intelligence of the STAR this day, with that of any other
paper in the metropolis, we are sure they will perceive a
continuance of our marked superiority. We particularly
direct attention to our extract from the Courier Francais,
respecting the logic of the Times and the Journal des
Dezats.

The article in the Journal des Debats, en which we re-
marked yesterday, was received on the Bourse as evidence
of imminent hostilities, and the Funds gave way in conse
quence ; but rallied again. It was also rumoured in Paris,
that the Knia's return would be accelerated, to enable
him to assist in the councils, under the circumstances
which have determined the energetic policy of the
Government.

Some of our contemporaries are awaiting their usual
leader; and that leader is awaiting the turn of the settling
day. In the mean time, in the usual confusion of the ideas
of others, they are gravely discussing the demand, that the
Belgian fortresses should be destroyed ; and one Paris
letter, written in London, enlarges eloquently on the said

destruction. But if our readers will turn to the article in
the Journal des Debats, it will be observed, that it says not
a word about destruction; but merely asserts that France
can never permit the Belgic fortresses to return into the
hands of enemies--" to that destination which they have
now lost."

Some unhappy fatuity has seized on the members of our
hitherto moderato and tolerant Church. Cambridge and
Oxford afforded the first evidence of the disaster ; and now
we have corroborative evidence, in the fanaticism displayed
by certain Churchmen, at a meeting held yesterday at
Exeter Hall, for the relief of the suffering Catholics.—
The suffering was openly declared, by more than one,
to be a visitation of HEAVEN, for the sin of being
CATHOLICS ! These pretended Christians forgot the in-
terrogatory—" Thinhest thou that those were the wickedest
in all Israel, on whom the Tower of Siloam fell and
slew?"
