PARIS ESTA PErrE-TH IS DAY.

PA Itl S, SA TU RDA T.—The affairs of Poland
Lave created much anxiety at Paris ; but the
statements given by the Prussian Gazette contain
so many contradictions, that most people here
consider that the tumult has been much exagge-
ratvd. No news whatever has arrived to the
French Government; and yet it is stated by the
Gazttle de Prusse, that the Consul of France
Lad demanded his passport from the Polish
Government. The journey from Warsaw to Pa-
ris might be performed in ten days ; there-
fore a courier despatched from Warsaw on the
l6th (the day on which the excesses were said to
have been committed,) could have reached Paris on
the 26th, and it is now the third of September—
and no intelligence has arrived. In such serious
circumstances it can scarcely be supposed that the
Consul would have neglected to inform his
Government.

A letter from Berlin of the 26th of August,
announces that they spoke at the Bourse of news
front the Rusian head-quarters. The army was,
on the 20th, near Warsaw. It was said that Skrzy-
necki and Czartorinsky had proceeded to the Rus-
sian head-quarters.—Journal du Commerce.

Several German Journals estimate at 130,000
men, the Prussian troops which are assembled
against the cholera, along the Oder, to the extre-
mity of Eastern Prussia.—Journal du Commerce.

Neither the Gazette d'Etat de Prusse of the
'27th, nor the other German Journals, received to-
day at Paris, contain the least intelligence upon
the events which took place on the 15th and 16th
at Warsaw. The Gazette d'Etat announces in
two lines, that on the 20th the Russian head
quarters was still at Nadarzym, five leagues from
Warsaw, which proves that Marshal Paskew•itsch
had made no movement from the 18th to the 20th.
We wait, with anxiety, the first direct news from
Warsaw.—Journal des Debats.

CRACOW, Aug. 19.—There is a proclamation
dated the 12th, from the new commander in chief,
and another proclamation of conge, from General
Skrzynecki. Although General Dembinski ap-
pears to say nothing about an amicable arrange-
ment, nothing decisive had happened up to the
15th, between the two armies. It appears that
there is in the army, as well as in Warsaw, a
party in favour of submission, and another for
lighting for life and death. Field Marshal
Paskewitsch, has established himself since the 6th,
with the whole Russian army, on the right bank of
the Baura, whilst the Poles were posted behind the
Ilawka. General Rudiger was with his corps at
Novemiasto, upon the Pilizn, and Prince Adam of
Wurtemburg marching toward Radom ; but the in-
habitants of that small town, who had opposed so
much resistance to the Russians, have suffered
much.—Augsboury Gazette of the 27th.
lEN N A, Aug. 23.—News from Warsaw is ex-
pected with the greatest impatience. The silence
which continues from the theatre of war, when it
is known that the armies are approaching nearer to
each other, appears to be occasioned by existing ne-
gotiations. Letters, indeed, state, that negotia-
tions are in a very forward train. It is also ascer-
tained, that in case an agreement should take place
between the belligerent powers, respecting the
basis of the Polish nationality, Prince Czartoriski
would be placed, in the name of the Emperor, at
the head of the Government. However, this ru-
mour may be set down amongst the thousand others,
which are daily circulated.
In Hungary the peasantry continue in a state of
insurrection, and are in greatdisorder. They have
ill-treated a great number of the nobles, as well as
many persons in Government offices ; pillaged the
chateaus of Count Zapari and Count Csaki, and
committed on all sides cruelties of every description.
.—Augsbourg Gazette.
We have received no authentic information of
the news from Warsaw, published by the Prussian
Gazette, and reprinted in the journals of this
morning. We do not doubt the main events, but
come of the circumstances are not true. One of
these is manifestly false ; it is that which concerns
the prisoners for debt, who suffered, it is said, like
those detained for political offences : the Polish
law does not permit the imprisoning for debt. All
the journals published to-day have shewn them-
selves very reserved upon the news furnished by
the Berlin paper ; there is only the Gazette, which
has taken from it a text, to say that the revolution
and Propaganda finish in all countries as they com-
menced, by assassinations.
They speak of negotiations entered into by Eng-
land, France, and Austria in the interests of the
Poles. The Hamburgh Gazette has published a
very curious article upon that subject. Will the
negotiations be abandoned, or will Poland fall
altogether ? That cannot be. In the first place,
in that which concerns France, engagements
are taken. The address of the Chamber
has given the measure of the sentiments with
which the admirable Polish nation has inspired the
majority. The Chamber has said : "We have the
assurance that the Polish Nationality will not
perish ;" it is a political engagement for the Ca-
binet. In England the same sympathy exists ; and
if the Court of Austria does not profess sentiments
so frank, so powerful in favour of the Poles, opi-
nion will inevitably push her to an intervention.

THE EVENING STAR.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 5.

Oxa o'CLocH, Tats DAY.—Thermometer, 74. Ba-
rometer, 29.89. Wind S.W. Weather, fair and cloudy.

The Hamburgh steamer had not arrived when
this article was written ; and, therefore, we are in
London in as much uncertainty as the Newspapers
of Paris, and those of Germany appear to be, on
the subject of Poland. The Messager de Chambres,
which we received late on Saturday afternoon, with
private advices from Paris, assured us, on the au-
thority of letters from Vienna, that an armistice
had been actually concluded ; and we hastened, on
these avowed authorities, to lay the information
before the public in a Second Edition.
The arrivals from Paris to-day, and from the
vicinity of Poland, do not contain intelligence
from the seat of war, later than that which
reached London on Saturday ; and, therefore,
we have no confirmation of the conclusion of the
armistice. It appears, however, by a Cracow ar-
ticle of the 20th, that some important communica-
tion had been made to the Polish government, by
the Austrian Consul ; and that, in consequence,
Prince CzARToaISKI and General SKRZYNECKI
had paid a visit to the Russian head-quarters. Re-
ports prevail, also, all over the continent, that an
arrangement is pending.
It would be idle to speculate on a subject in which
the data are so vague; for, in truth, we hare for
many days had no direct information from Warsaw,
and our opinions are obliged to be formed on the re-
ports of enemies. See our Second Edition.
We this day present two documents—the last
which have arrived directly from Warsaw—and
they are of the 12th and 13th : one is a magnani-
mous resignation of the chief command of the army
by SKRZTNECKI, to DEMBINSKI; and the other
is an address of DeuniNsxt on assuming the
command. Subsequently to those dates—that is
on the 15th and 16th—that popular insurrection
took place, on which we have at present none but
Prussian authority ; and of the Polish account of
these affairs, the Paris journals are as devoid as
those of London and Germany—even letters from
Cracow of the 19th and 20th, make no mention of
the subject.
The only military operation which we glean, is
the confirmation of the defeat of Rudiger, and ofl
his falling back by Radom, faster than he advanced.
The Hamburgh papers continue to enlarge on the
surprize of Colonel Gallois, by some cossack squad-
rons, under the Russian General Witt. Whether
this affair obliged the main Polish army to fall back
towards Warsaw, or whether the pending negoci-
ations indisposed the Polish general from shedding
blood, of which Paskewitsch has taken an inso-
lent advantage, does not appear ; but this is certain,
th.tt the reckless corps of the cossacks have ap-
proached Warsaw, while the Poles have fallen back,
and bivouacked in its immediate vicinity. Again,
we think it possible, that Dembinski may calculate
on the more exalted courage of the Poles, in a
contest close to the capital ; for we cannot suspect
the Prussians of exaggerating the Polish forces;
and the last details from Berlin assured us, that
the Polish army equalled in numbers the Russian
army. In spite, therefore, of sinister reports,
hatched chiefly for stock-jobbing purposes, we con-1
tinue of opinion, that a fortunate and bloody victory
remains to be gained by the Russians, before they
obtain possession of Warsaw, except under con-
ditions imposed on them by the allied powers,
and agreeable to the brave Polish army, and the
patriotic inhabitants of Warsaw. If they achieve
their object, and secure civil liberty, and impunity
for their meritorious exertions, to rid themselves of
a semi-barbarous intrusion, the friends of justice
and liberty will be satisfied, whatever be the name
or form of the compromise, or the concession in
form which may be made, to gratify the empty
pride of the Court of Petersburg, and the other
mediating Courts.

This morning we have accounts from different
parts of the kingdom, of loyal preparations to
celebrate the Coronation, of which we notice a
few ; and it affords us satisfaction to observe, that
distressed poverty is not overlooked, and will be
enabled to take solid part in the festive rejoicing,
on an occasion so inspiring to every true English-
man. We have also reason to believe, that our
' suggestion on Saturday will not be lost on the
authorities of the metropolis. We are thoroughly
persuaded that a celebration of the day, which
includes a feast to the people, will be a mode of
celebration more agreeable to the benevolent feel-
ing of their MAJEsTiEs, than any ostentatious
parade of illuminations, or that uproarious waste of

gua-powder, which usually accompanies such
events.

In the House of Commons on Saturday, Mr.
Sadler presented petitions from Nottingley and
Paisley, complaining of general distress among ar-
tisans and manufacturers. Mr. Dennison presented
a petition in favour of Alderman Wood's steam-boat
bill, which was supported by Mr. Mangles and
Mr. Ewart.

Mr. Lamb admitted that he was not prepared with
any regulations of steam-boats, in addition to those
of the 4th George IV. and he stated that the suf-
ferers intended to proceed against the proprietors
of the Rothsay Castle.
Mr. Croker called attention to the incendiary
fires, on which some observations were made by
Lord Althorp and Sir E. Sugden.
In answer to some observations of Mr. Croker,
Lord Althorp stated that he expected the Bill would
be finished by the Committee before the Corona-
tion; and with a view to its immediate progress,
the adjournment would take place only for the day
of the Coronation.

The thirty-first and thirty-second clauses,
relative to the formal duty of banisters were
passed.

ROYAL EXCHANGE, ONE O'CLOCK.

With the exception of the express from Paris,
and the Dutch steamer, we have no other arrivals
of consequence this morning. The French funds
have again improved : after Change hours they
were at 60 the 3 per cents, in consequence of
which our funds, which left off on Saturday at
82A, opened at 821, afterwards were done at
8211 ; at present they are 824, alternately buyers
and sellers, with little doing.

The private letters from Brussels state that all
was tranquil in that country.
In the foreign market, Russian Stock has im-
proved.

TWO O'CLOCK.

Great anxiety is expressed in the City for the
arrival of the Hamburgh steamer, by which is ex-
pected the surrender of Warsaw to the Russians ;
in consequence of which the Stock Exchange spe-
culators are quite idle.
Consols have been during the morning at 821,
alternately buyers and sellers.
Letters have been received from Oporto, but they
do not bring any news of consequence.
We bear that only 120 Peers as yet have ap-
plied for tickets for the Coronation.
In the Foreign Market, the only business doing
of consequence is in Russian Stock, which has ra-
ther improved.
