EXTRACTS FROM THE PARIS PAPERS.

We announce with pleasure, on the authority
of a private letter, that the enthusiasm of the
Poles, their nationality and their spirit, are un-
abated. Warsaw is provided so as to support a
three months' siege ; and the Polish army, 70,000
strong, having Warsaw for a point of strong de-
fence, is in a state to operate advantageously
against the enemy, however great may be its
force.—L' Avenir

The Gazette de Prusse gives again extracts
from the journals of Warsaw of the 29th of July.
On the 21st, there was an affair near Zamosc,
directed by the Russian General Kaissaroff. The
enemy bad already commenced burning one of the
faubourgs of the fortress ; but it was repulsed
with loss.

VIES IC.I, AUGUST 6.—Letters from Cracow of
the 3d instant state, that the corps of Rudiger,
25,000 strong, had crossed the Vistula on the 28th
of July, and immediately occupied Opataw and
Ostrawce, but that ou the 31st of the same mouth
General Itudiger re-crossed to the right bank cf
the Vistula with the greatest part of his troops,
leaving only 5000 men on the left bank. No en-
gagement had taken place up to the Ist of
August. The cholera is spreading more and more
upon this side of the Danebe, and the mortality to
the East and at Ofau increases every day. This
plague has appeared at Wieselbourg, 40 miles from
Vienna; in these circumstances it is said that the
Emperor will return immediately to Vienna, and
that he intends occupying the Palace of Belvedere.
Notwithstanding the danger of the cholera, it is
supposed that the King of Hungary and Prince
Charles intend going shortly to Milan. The
report of the Prussian Gazette relative to the
misunderstanding which was said to have existed
between the commander-in-chief Skrzynecki and
the government is unfounded. All the notables of
Warsaw, thinking it advisable to collect every
information respecting the situation of things, called
together every person of influence, to tale the ne-
cessary measures to save the country from its ap-
parent danger, and calm the unfounded alarms so
universally spread.—Augsburg Gazette.
BERLIN, AUG. 1.-It is now quite certain that
Field-Marshal Paskewitsch has instructions from
his Government to negotiate with Poland. It
would appear that those negotiations are to be
opened under the walls of Warsaw. The condi-
tion will be that the Poles will retract their decree
of exclusion against the house of Romanow. In
return for which they will be allowed to choose a
Vice-roy amongst themselves— Czartoriski or Rad-
, ziwil.

BRESLAW, Aug. 2. The Polish army is ani-
mated with the best spirit. It will redouble its
efforts in the struggle which is now upon the point
of taking place, and will fight with the same in-
trepidity of which it has given so many proofs,
and with the same ardour of despair. It will not
be easy to take Warsaw by force ; to reduce the
city by famine appears to be the project of Puke-
, witsch, but it will be a long operation which will
engage France and England still more to inter-
fere, and which will facilitate the mediation of
those powers.

PETERSBURG, JULY 26.—An Imperial ukase
has just been promulgated. It has been agreed
upon, that in consequence of the extraordinary
expenses necessary to the situation of things, and
to facilitate the transactions of the Public Trea-
sury, the Council of State has ordered 30 mil-
lions of rubles in Bills of Exchange upon the
Bank, to be put in circulation at 4 per Cent. in-
terest. In an Extraordinary Supplement of the
same date, the report of the Commander-in-chief
Paskewitsch to the Emperor states, that the pas-
sage of the Vistula was established near Osiek.
Count Pahlen crossed it with the advanced
guard, took advantageous positions, and pushed
on as far as Sklivionki, where he met with
a few mowers and armed peasants.— The
advanced guard of the 6th corps of Infantry
commanded by General Golovini, who is now at
Siedlic, has beaten the country towards Praga,
killed many, and taken three superior officers, six
inferior, and 140 men, prisoners. He afterwards
returned to Seidlic, with the loss of a few men.—
In the Palatinate of Lublin, Rudiger's aidecamp is
preparing to cross the Upper Vistula, and General
Kaisaaroff has completely invested the fortress of
Zamosc, with a part of the 3d corps of infantry
under his command. The corps which has been
pursuing Gielgud, is marching to join the army.
On the departure of the report, the commander-
in-chief intended beginning operations.
The following description of the last sitting of
the Chamber of Deputies will be read with interest,
and chews the Ministry may probably yet not be
securely seated:
The various amendments proposed by General
Lafayette, and which expressed so feelingly the
sympathies of the country for the cause of unhappy
Poland, have been inhumanly rejected by the
Ministry, and by the Ministerial adherents. Gen.
Lafayette, that venerable man, so worthy of the
respect and admiration of the whole world, was even
received with indecent murmurs. The dissolved
Chamber, listened at least in silence and with respect,
to that good and great citizen. The indifference of
a part of the present Chamber for so many virtues,
is the basest ingratitude, and can only have birth
in hearts frozen by fear. But every interest of the
sitting soon came to concentrate itself in the stormy
I scandal which marked its close. In preparing to
vote on the amendment of M. Bignon, and
after tbe President had declared the discussion
eletmOval. Casimir Perier mounted thr tribune,
and clang to it in spite of the murmurs of a
portion of the Chamber, who called for the close of
' the discussion. M. Casimer Perier, his face pale with
rage, and with an imperious voice, cried that he had
the right toepeek, in virtue of the article 43 of the
charter, and that.bs amid speak. The noise then
mdeuhiedh. 1i: imam a frightful tumult. M.

Assuming words and gestures. The centres

fists to the rest of the assembly, who answered 1,•-
the same demonstrations. Confusion was at its
height, and worse than ever it had been seen

not contrive to re-establish order, and he was übiigti
to close the sitting. This inconceivably scandnkus
sitting will resound through France. It will denote
the bitterness and the hatred of the parties whie.,
divide her. There is nothing more passionate than
furious moderation. M. Casimir will with difficulty
recover from the blow which this sitting has cciveL
to him ; it is impossible to govern with a cliff
ratter so irritable, with manners so imperiets,
and passions so prompt and unbounded. At
the first occasion where it shall take fire, where it
shall encounter any resistance, this scene of shame
and scandal will be renewed. The opposition did
well not to submit to this violence. Let M. Cali-
mir Perier embody and conduct his ministerial
troop ; let him cause it to tremble from fear, by
presenting to it the phantasmagoria of his tu-
mults, of his republic, and of his universal war:
let him, in one word, fashion it to the yoki of
despotism—well and good; but let him under-
stand that the opposition will not be drawn
miserably under the scourge of his rage; aml that
it will not barter over its prerogatives, which ere
those of the country."—Courrier Francais.
