POLAND.

The following letter, dated Warsaw, 22d ult. and ad-
dressed to the father of the writer in Glasgow, will be read
with considerable interest, as affording, to some extent, an
interior view of Warsaw during the first movements of the
Polish Revolution.— Glasgow Free Press.
WARSAW, Fin. 22.
" Dear Father,—You will, no doubt, think that I tun ill, or some—
thing worse, that you have received no answer to my last letters front
you. I received both, the letter by Petershurgh, and the other by
Peris—that from Petersburgh, by a friend. You must never send any
more that way, as they almost never come to hand. It was of no use
for us to write this long time back, as we only had the expense of pay-
ing postage, and our letters never went.
You have no doubt, heard of the revolution here. I had just
come out of the Dresden Hotel when it was commenced, and was
stopt in the street by the concourse of people ; and I had not gone far
(aa 1 had to pass the arsenal,) before we were attacked by the Co..
sacks, the General who commanded them, calling upon the Polish
soldiers who were guards at the arsenal, to fire upon the people,
using every epithet that the language could aford against them, in
their attempt to break up the arsenal for arms. However, the
Polish soldiers joined with the people ; and the Cossacks rushed
upon them sword and pistol in hand. The Polish soldiers presented
their muskets and fired. Three Cassette, and General Blaumur, fell
within two yards of me. I wondered how I tenor not trampled to death
or shot. The combat lasted for about an hour, and the Poles gained

COUNT aIUNSTKR.
Another reply to the attack on Count Munster's adminis-
tration of the government of Hanover has been published.
It might have been expected that the " Documentary Esti-
mate," would have been considered a sufficient vindication.
The pamphlet is from the pen of the Count himself, and
relates to charges made against him personally.
He shows that, far from being an enemy of constitutional
freedom, he made efforts on the conclusion of the war, to
introduce representative governments in the German States,
and to bring about the restoration of a German empire under
one head. He advocated a Germanic union, because he
foresaw the impediments which commercial intercourse would
experience in consequence of Germany being divided into
a variety of independent states. The Hanoverian constitu-
tion was promptly established on the basis of ancient insti-
-1 tutions, and in conformity with the habits of the German
' people. It has happened to him, however, with respect to
the Hanoverian constitution, as to Michaelis, on account of
his writings. That celebrated author used good humour-
edly to say, that at one time his opinions made him be sus-
pected of heterodoxy, while at another he was accused of
being too orthodox. In like manner the Count was formerly
blamed for making the Hanoverian constitution too libe ad.
and now he is accused of having made it too arbitrary. With
regard to the misapplication of the revenues of the domains,
the Count observes, that the charges on that subject
have been completely refuted in the " Documentary Esti-
mate." Nevertheless, be states that it had always been his
wish that the most ample information should be given resrect-
ing the expenditure of the revenues of the domains, being
confident that the communication of detailed accounts would
not only demonstrate the great liberality of the Sovereign,
but prove to the people of Hanover, that such liberality
could not be exercised by their King, if his throne were
not in another country. The conviction of this truth will
become general, he says, as soon as the representative body
makes farther communications on the subject. The Count
repels with the contempt it deserves, the absurd charge of
his having behaved, to the late King, disrespectfully. The
other points of the accusation to which he replies, we must
pass over, as they have already been fully answered ; but
we must say that the charge of rapacity brought against him
appears from this erklarung to be most unjust ; on the con-
trary, it is proved as to the patent money, &c. that, not-
withstanding the great losses he sustained during the occu-
pation of Hanover by the French, he refused to take what
was due to him. It may be mentioned, that in reference to
the title of the charges, the Count says the phrase dos
Ministerium Munster is un-German, and, taken in con-
nexion with the phrase bestowed on the Buonaparte Govern-
ment, indicates a transrhenean influence. He observes, too,
that the flight of the leaders of the Gottingen insurrection to
France, and their reception there, leave no doubt ea, to the
origin of the disturbances in that quarter.

In analyzing the division, we discover in the minority
but twenty-six county members for England and Wales,
and of these eight are Welsh, where no popular circum-
stances distinguish any election. There are, it is true, a
majority of Scotch so called, but five to twenty electors do
not characterise county representation, or any representa-
tion. The Irish county members, too, were such rasa as
have obtained their seats by family interests ; and the mum s
of Beresford and Casdereagh, add little weight to a cues .
In truth, the intellect, intelligence, and independence is
all on the other side.

By a return from the Excise Office it appears that the
total number of oaths taken, and affidavits made, before the
Board of Excise and their officers, during the last yam,
umouoted to 194,612 !
