nificant, that the autocrat of all the Russia' had abandoned it to the
caprices of his brother, to serve him as a sport and diversion in his In
sure moments. That people, so feeble and so despised, has become on
a sudden strong and formidable ; it has dared to strike at the Colossus.
which already trembles on its basis. The Farperor of litms'e see,
those projects vanish, which he has been in too much haslet° announce.
Forced by his enormous losses to change his plans, to resort to forted
marches, and all for numerous reinforcements, he leaves us time to talc:
repose, and prepare ourselves for new combats. The time will not be
lost. Our General in Chief, in his ardent activity, exercises and
vivifies our strength : be 'completes it,:weaugments it, and meditate,
new combinations: he prepares for our valiant soldiers new victoria
Without carrying noble illusions too far, but seizing with ordeal
great example, we dare believe, that like Napoleon in the bed.
Vast days of his glory, when he cried, with all the Freud,
people, Yips ki Libor:* ! our young chief, the child of revolution
will imitate the Napoleon of Arcola and Lodi, and that, like him, he
will secure to his noble country liberty and independence. Witheu
doubt we have to surmount many obstacles, but all obstacles must die.
appear before will and determination. National independence can only
be gained by an untameable energy, sacrifices of every description, and
indefatigable perseverance. It is by those means alone that we can ex.
pert to succeed. Hitherto our first steps have been fortunate. n.
valour of our soldiers has been fixed by triumphs•`the arrogance of
enemy has been lowered. Some unsteady minds have been rendered fim,.
and all Poland now utters the patriotic cry of "Be free, or cease to exist!"
What then have we to fear, when we are united heart and mind? Vic.
tory is certain for him who promises to conquer or die, and all our people
(as the Russians know full well) have taken that oath. Perseverance !
Perseverance! Let that word be our motto amidst all the various
chances into which war may lead us. The imposing silence which sm.
rounds us, will soon be broken by the thunder which most be heard
through all Europe ; but after the sanguinary struggle between the
human race and a few despots, all people will give birth to imk.
pendence, and happier days will succeed the storm."

ITALY.

The following is in circulation t;;;;he state of the Diplomatic nego-
ciations :—lt is said that upon the question of the intervention of
Austria in the Duchy of Puma and Plaisance, England, without fully
adhering to the pretensions of the Cabinet of Vienna, has declared, that
she cannot allow an armed opposition on the part of France. The
French Cabinet has admitted this doctrine. As to the question 01
Romagna, it is said that the note of France, conceived in firm and pre.
else terms, was concerted verbally with the English Ambassador. The
son of M. Perrier has been charged to transmit it to London. It has
been announced this day, that there was received the full and entire con.
currencc of England ; she recognises the right of Prance to make war,
in case Austria does not evacuate Romagna. A Congress for the solu-
tion of all these questions is to be assembled at Rome.—Courrier
Francais.

RoME, MARCH, 23.—An engagement took place on the 21st, nar
Castigliona, between the Pontifical troops and the insurgents. These
but have been beaten ; they left several dead upon the place, and eight
prisoners were taken ; amongst whom is an officer named Rossi. The
rebels have withdrawn beyond the Tibet. A flag, thirty muskets, and
their ammunition, were left in the possession of the Pontifical troops.
The insurgents having retreated, the communications are re-established
In all the delegation of Viterbo.—.Diario del Roma.

Oavirro, MARCIE 23.—Extract of a private letter :—M. de Saint
Aulaire left Florence on the 19th of this month. In passing in the
Campagna of Rome, he met with a detachment of constitutional troops,
and announced to them the arrival of the Austrians at Florence. "Go
home "said he to them, " for if you do not retire, you will be massacred
by the Austrians—if you reckon upon France you deceive yourselves_
the King, my Sovereign, has ordained me to support the temporal power
of the Pope."

LYONS, April 2.—A traveller who has just arrived from Rome re.
ports the following details :—Rather a sharp battle in front of Rimini,
between the Austrians and General Zucchi. Rimini and Fall are oc-
cupied by the Austrians; Gen. Frimont is marching upon Ancona;
' a corps of 0000 Austrians was traversing Tuscany, but the dispersion
of the band which had taken Aquapendente rendered that proceeding
useless. They are assured at Florence, on the 25th, that the Count
de Saint Lou was killed in a rencounter of the troops of the Pope with
the insurgents. The 30th March the King of Sardinia was better, but
the seriousness of his situation is still the same They momentarily
expect to hear the news of his death. It is looked upon as certain that
the Prince of Carignan will adopt the alliance of France, and will pro•
nounce against the Austrian influence. Such conduclwill give him
immense popularity in the Pieamontese army.

Orders are said to have been transmitted to Toulon for fitting out
divers gun.boats and brigs stationed in that port. These vessels, to
the number of eight or ten, are to sail u soon as possible, and cruise
off the coasts of Italy and Spain, in order to observe the movements
which are taking place in those countries.

SPAIN.

MADRID, MARCH 28.—(8y extraordinary Express.)—Wk men,
equally friends to the monarchy and the people, redouble their efforts
near the King, to avoid his falling into the abyss which zbe apostolic
faction has dug under his feet. These estimable personages have COUII.
cilled the King to compose his ministry thus General Castanos,
Minister of Foreign Affairs and President of the Council ; Marquisde
Las Amarillas, Minister of War; M. d'Arjona, Minister of Justice ;
M. Ballasteros, Minister of Finance; M. Zalazar to the Marine."—
This change, should It be :ennead, surpasses our most MN
guine hopes. The sentiments, and the political life of Ge.
natal Castanos, will conciliate the confidence of the majority
of Spaniards. Captain-General of the royal armies, he conquered the
foreign invasion of Baylen in 1808 ; latey he was named Regent of the
Kingdom at Cadia ; after the restoration, the King confided to him the
Captain-Generalship of Catalonia; at last, from 1820 to 1823, be was
Councillor of State, and has not ceased to make part of the Council of
His Majesty since the restoration, and has always manifested moderate
sentiments in combatting the violence, and persecutiohe which have
often been exercised against his countrymen. One of the first acts of
this new ministerial combination will be the convocation of Cortes par
into mentos, after the ancient fundamental law of the Kingdom.
At a later period, Spain will receive institutions more analogous to her
wants and to the ideas of the epoque."—Memorad Bordelate.

IMPORTANT DEBATE IN THE CHAMBER OF
DEPUTIES, Aran. 4.

The Chamber commenced the preparatory discussion of the project of
law concerning the extraordinary taxes called for by the Minister of
Finances.

Salverte rose to oppose the granting of the vote of credit, and
stated that the patriotism of the Chamber had been put to a grave trial.
—The demand of new taxes was. bo understood, te be follow")
by other demands of the same kind. He then adverted to the
modification introduced in the electoral law by the Chamber of
Peen, and commented, at considerable length, on the internal
and external policy) of the Cabinet. He next alluded to 31.. cast.
mir Perier's first declaration to the Chamber, which he remarked wu
more pacific in its tendency than his last, and adjured him, before he
entertained the hope of compelling Europe to disarm, to weigh well the
value, and convince himself of the sincerity, of diplomatic assurances.
The Chamber knew how illusory all the treaties made with Prince for
the last forty years have been, not a single one of which--not one—bad
been signed by the opposite parties without a firm determination to
violate it on the slightest pretext. It was only those which were inju-
rious to the country that the foreigners were so scrupulous to maintain.
Salverte then recommended strongly an alliance between France and
England, for securing the liberty of Europe, and the execution of which
he deemed perfectly practicable.

M. Thouvenel said that the social body was attacked by a burning
fever.—(A Member exclaimed, " M. Thouvenel is a celebrated physi-
cian.") Our Governors may be compared to those inexperienced
physicians, who, not knowing what kind of disease torments the social
body, are ignorant of what remedy to apply. If Ministers. Gentlemen,
wish to render the royalty of Louie Philip immovable amidst the
storm of a revolution, let them hasten to cast anchor upon the popular
sell I let them employ, to navipte the vessel of the State, such men
alone as are skilful, sad interested in saving themselves or in perishing
with it.
