POLAND.

NEGOCIATIONS FOR POLAND.—The Gazette
d'Augsbarg announces that the English Cabinet
has just addressed a note to the Emperor ,Nicholas.
Its object is to call the most prompt attention of
His Imperial Majesty upon the present situation of
Poland, and the perturbation which that war has
brought upon Europe. The English Cabinet urges
on the Russians adherence to the terms of the
treaty of Vienna, which stipulates the permanence
of a dictinct constitution for Poland—and claims
the right, as guarantee, of interfering for its
execution.

We know that a similar proceeding has been at-
tempted by the French Ministry with the Emperor of
Russia. Up to the present moment, all attempts have
been in rain. Nicholas will listen to nothing if
the Poles, trusting to his clemency, will not first'
make a full and entire submission. But the Ga-
zette d'Augsburg seems to allude now to a new
proceeding of England more decisive ; for in an
article dated from St. Petersburg, it adds
that negotiations probably will be re-commenced
about Poland. Several times has that grand cause
beenlintroduced in the mixed discussions of the Con-
ference of London. In the present state of Europe,
it is of the most urgent interest that the Powers
should take into consideration the state of Poland.
Not only is it a question of humanity, but a
European question, and one of general social inte-
rest. It appears that Austria is less opposed than
she seems to be ostensibly, to the Polish cause;
and that she is ready to unite in a common pro-
ceeding; but that proceeding must be prompt
and decisive, that it may bring about an im-
mediate result, indispensable at the crisis of a
nation, so sublime in its resistance. A tra-
veller who arrived from St. Petersburgh gives
a terrible picture of the calamities which not only
oppress Poland and its ancient provinces, but even

Russia, where nobles and peasants are crushed by
the levies of every kind, and by ukases more de-
vastating than the cholera morbus. In Lithuania
all is tumult ; it is not only the Russians who set
fire to the cities, and to the country dwellings, but
the peasants themselves, who attempt to starve thua
the army of their oppressors, and who sacrifice all
for liberty. Such is the state of these vast pro-
vinces, and all this much for the caprice of a matt
iwho will have submission or a desert ! Interven-
tion 'will be tardy ; but it willlarrive at last. May
it be listened to; let crowns understand that no-
thing will be more popular, more in harmony with
all national sympathies.—Courrier Francais.
General Dwernicki and his officers have at last
been removed to Moravia. Most of them, how-
ever, have effected their escape, and are now in
Zamosc, where 8,000 men, besides the garrison,
are collected. The number of Dwernicki's officers
was 362, or one officer for every 16 men—an un-
usual proportion, which, nevertheless, may have
contributed to the superiority of the Polish army.
General Rudiger has not yet left Volhynia, tho
troops which are to replace him not having yet ar-
rived. The insurrection of that province is not
suppressed ; on the contrary, every favourable in-
telligence obtained from Poland or Lithuania im-
parts to it a new impulse.
