POLAND.

Retract of a report in the Gazelle of Warsaw.—Count Diebitsch fiat-
,ered himself to annihilate the insurgent Poles in a single battle. Proud
.‘f victories obtained over the Turks, he believed he had the power
to crush, with the same facility. a nation who had converted their chains
to arms ; and who, in a strogle which interest of Europe shall have
rendered more equal, preferred to disappear from the globe, rather than to
vegitate with ignnmy ; but the glory of the conqueror of the Balkan has
been velipst d upon the banks of the Vistula. In all the combats up to
'his day, the Russians have not obtained any important advantage
May he then remember, this mighty conqueror, of a Vizier, venal or
without talents, may he remember the fate of Varus. Submitting like
;Hs last to the capricious orders of a despot, he perished by a shameful
death, carrying with him to the tomb the maledictions of the people and
master; that of Field Marshal Diebitsch may one day cry like
Ca-•ar :—" Varus, give me my legions." That Souwarrow, a Mum-
r::e barbarian, who was deprived of all kind of cultivation and instruc.
and who, excepting bravery, did rot possess any virtue, could sack
ia:zakow and Praga, to obey the bloody enprices of a woman, can be con.
; but what can hinder posterity, and even the conscience of Count
fliebitsch himself, from one day pronouncing against him ? He who was
hiut: in Silesia, contemporary cf Schiller and Goethe, to fight the Poles,
'itemise they dared to think of liberty ? Can the tigour of this decree be sof.
toted when it is known that Count Diehitsch came to crush Poland and
Its noble defenders, to revenge a king perjured by his oaths ? In the con.
dna of Field Marshal Diebitscli, in the manifestos which we have
before us, we do nut recognise that generous Diebitsch, who, thirty
rears ago, took the defence of the people of Israel who were oppressed
in his coniary, developing in his writings principles of pure philanthro.
nhy. The splendour of the imperial Court has blinded the man whose
....It promised an much for the future. But, may he reflect well ; the
gracious regard of a mister cannot appease the remorse of conscience;
and a day will come when, at the supreme tribunal, justice will be done
to those who embrace an unjust cause.
LIEGE, Maacn 29.
Yesterday evening, at ten o'clock, numerous groups assembled be-
fore the printing.office of the Echo, a new Journal of the Orange party.
The materials of the printing.office, and all the household furniture,
were broken to pieces and thrown into the street.
Between eleven o'clock and midnight some of the mob went to plun-
der the house of Mr. Orban, one of our resident merchants, which they
did, notwithstanding the Civic Guard and a detachment oiCuirassiers.
Similar excesses were committed in the house of Mr. Stephani, formerly
Director of the Police. This morning the house of Mr. Macar was the
scene of great excesses, which, however, were soon checked by the Civic
Guard and some Cuirassiers. Thence some persons went to the Epis.
copal Palace.
A Liege Paper says, that 200,000 francs will hardly make good the
ilitanige that has been done.

op Zoon state, that it was a laboratory that blew up, in which

ijured ; but very great damage has been done to the houses, in the
ntigh!‘ouring streets. This was partly caused by the blowing up of
some waggons, loaded with cannon balls and shells, which flew about
;dl directions, as if the city was bombarded. On the 30:h, there were
bright into the hospital, 15 soldiers killed, and 11 severely, and 37
