A curious fart has COMO to light by the resignation of the
Dictator Chlopicki. It appears that the Emperor Nicholas
had written to him, to thank him for the services which he
had rendered him in accepting the Dictatorship, sad to re-
quest him to use his influence to procure the acceptance of
the candidates proposed by the Emperor. This discovery
proves that the Itemise Cabinet, whilst it published fulmi-
nating imiiiholses against the ineuerectioa, in order to
frighten Poland with menaces of enenniestisa, was secretly
treating with the head of the Provident! Govennent, hen
which it is evident that Russia is quite aware of the extreme
difficulty of reducing the Poles by force. Conenl Chiopioki,

We do not think that the patriots who are now to hive
the direction of of aks will adopt the plan of attacking the
Russians without first proposes' a treaty to the Emperor
but the conditions they will require will be so categorical,.
that Muscovite power will become impotent, and Poland will
at length learn whether its Kin desires war or peace.
