FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD.-" There
Is a newly-invented Patent Recumbent Chair, by Mr. DA %VS
of 17, Niargatet-street, Cavendish-square, London, which it is but
justice to a most ingenious man, to introduce to the particular notice
of our readers. The King, we hear, has them, and certainly the in-
firm, the sedentary, and Ladies whose temporary burthen may dis.
pose them to a little additional repose, have never before lounged on a
cleverer piece of workmanship ; it is handsome and compact, and the
contrivance is so simple, that the required position is attained by the
slightest movements possible."—Examiner.

" Possessing these advantages, it is not comparatively dearer than a
common easy chair."—Times.

The chair alluded to will form near 20 positions. The principle and
name were the invention of H. Daws. the patentee. and such is the high
approbation And patronage he has gratdully to acknowledge, and so
well is the perfection of it attested and approved, that where an easy
chair or couch is desirable or necessary, It will take precedence as a
much more comfortable and elegant supply for both. There are many
imitations which are called improved recumbent chairs, but B. Daws
can have no need to say they are deceptions or dangerous, since he has
for three years pat t, and still continues to oiler .000 tor the production
of the kind which a majority of competent judges will pronounce more
perfect, and for which his signature may be had on application. tiome
are admirably portable. One shall be sent for inspection by hivour of
a reference, and payment of expencea or at the rate of lthi. per 100
miles; he warrants his principle seven years.

Having given you an account of the state of the army, I
shall now say a few words relative to the state of the coun-
try. The whole population is under arms. Old, young,,
rich, poor, nobles, peasants, have all become soldiers, com-
mon soldiers, confounded.* the dame ranks, all friends of
the same soil, and all etleark ready to stand or fall for
cause which they have determiued Co defend. They knc....•
that it is necessary to conquer or die, to risk all for all, am.d
they face death with a degree of enthusiasm which claims
the highest admiration. Antiquity does not afford to our
notice a 'bore noble cause of an oppressed people rising
against their tyrants. They all hasten to offer what they
possess—the father comes with his children, and places him-
self along with them in the same regiment. Their fortunes
are placed at the disposal of the government, and are pressed
upon the latter, aceompanied by expressions of great regret
that they have not more to give. This is true to the letter,
and it would be the greatest possible injustice towards the
persons concerned to doubt it.
On my arrival at Warsaw, there were about 9,004
wounded in the hospital. All these have been under the
immediate care of the principal ladies of the place, who are
paying all expenses necessary for attending them, &c. As
there is a great want of surgeons, all these ladies are coo-
, 'Ready attending the hospitals in person, and they perform
on the wounded all requisite offices with unceasing zeal and
assiduity. All these ladies, without any exception, have
sent their jewels to the Bank of Warsaw ; and have, be-
:-ides, given all they had by them in linen and provisions
with such a profusion as to leave many of them destitute.
In order to give you an idea of the little fear entertained
here of the Russians, I need only state this fact to vou,
that the paper of the Bank of Warsaw is more circulated
here even than the paper of the Bank of England is in
London, as there are notes for the value of 2s. and this
paper is taken in the smallest villages throughout the
kingdom with the same willingness as in the capital, and
no one thinks of applying for value for it at the Bank,
though all the notes are payable to the bearer. Yon may
judge from this that people do not think they are much
threatened with danger.
I will not (Nell on the cruelties committed by the Rus-
sians. Your countrymen, in the highest degree of civiliza-
tion, would not believe in the possibility of the atrocities
of which those barbarians are every day guilty. Murdei,
pillage, rape, are some of the concomitant evils of war ;
but at the present time it belonged to the Russians to add
to the cata!o,ue by inflicting horrors on harmless and
defencele.s people, which could not in any way be justified
or excused.

The conduct of the cabinets of Europe in regard to this
country is inexplicable, especially that of France. How does
it happen that the French Ministry• remain indifferent to
the efforts making here on behalf of France, in arresting
the progress of an enemy who was marching to her fron-
tiers ? The conduct of Prussia and Austria is conceivable
enough ; but that of France, in prostrating herself before the
Russian autocrat,even to a greater extent than l'rlissia,is hard-
ly credible. In Prussia the French agents and Frenchmen
generally, who are travelling with French passports, a.o
stopped merely because they are suspected of being on their
way to Poland ; and not only does not 11. Sebastiani claim
freedom of motion on their behalf, but he even refuses to give
passporte fur Poland, in ..,der w bate the risk or more un-
pleasant occurrences of the kind. lam sorry to add that the
same kind of deference to the wishes of the enemies of Poland
has begun to be paid by some of your national authorities.
The British Ambassador in Berlin having lately received a
letter from Warsaw, addressed to him by Mr. Evans, in the
name of the English residents in Poland, refused to open it
before he had the sanction of the Russian ambassador at
Berlin. I give this as a positive fact to yon, and let your
Government deny it if they can. It is, however, generally
and 6rml• believed here, that this act was one originating
%sith the English ambassador alone, and that it will be dis-
approved by your ministers, for the sentiments of the latter
are well known. Lord Grey's speech, indeed, in which be
expressed himself in a manner so extremely favourable to
the Poles, has been translated into Polish, and printed.
No one is suffered in Prussia to proceed hither. In Aus-
tria the same rigour towards us is observed. General Ex-
celnians, who lately arrived here for the purpose of taking
the command of the cavalry, was stopped in Austria, but he
escaped and crossed the Vistula by swimming. Neither
letters nor papers reach us. Hands have been laid at
Breslau, Thorn, and other towns in Prussia, on money be-
longing to private individuals, as well as to banking -houses
of this place. The most extraordinary system of injustice
and oppression has, in fact, been adopted towards us on ail
sides.

I find I have written at great length, and yet I have nut
said one fourth of what I could say relative to a people who
are justly entitled to the sympathy and admiration of all
Europe. Times.

We invite persevering attention to our Stalling subscrip-
tion for the brave Poles. We shall honour every contribu-
tion, whether from one or many.
Sir R. VTV TAN, Mr. DUNCOM RE and Mr. Arrwoon,
were not far from the truth, when they ascribed the public
excitement in favour of Reform to the gross neglect of the
equally numerous petitions on distress. They hit the econo-
mists and doctrinaires in the ministry some hard blows in re-
ferring to votes and speeches on the distress and free trade
questions. Doubtless, distress and false principles of legis-
lation on monetary subjects, have done more towards con-
vincing the people that reform was necessary, than all the
writings of Cartwright, Cobbett, or Home Tooke. Suf-
fering produced thinking; and in choosing a new parliament
those who voted against Mr. DAY EN PORT'S motion, ought
at least to be as strongly marked by the public, as those
who lately voted against Reform.

Kaminciz, the Polish rendezvous in the rear of the
Russians, is in Volhynia, not far from Podolia. The chief
towns of Podolia are Bielsk, Drogiezin, and Byalystock,
which last is in the high road from Russia to Warsaw. It
may be expected that Diebistch will soon he obliged to re-
move his head quarters to the Narew or the Niemen. His
position, without magazines, or fortress, is 100 miles too
much in advance. He played too forward a game, and
must try back.
Public sympathy is equally directed to the Poles, Bel-
gians, Italians, and Portuguese. The former have the claims
of heroism. The Belgians have claims founded on their firm-
ness ; amidst the questions craftily raised to distract them.
—The Italians create sympathy, owing to their having Ird
neighbours ; and the Portuguese, because they were the
dupes of the Liverpool administration. It is a contest of se •
vered and distracted people against concentrated powers, anal
the deep-laid policy of the sworn enemies of popular rights.
The part which France has played is not merely utigeaeroes ;
and it has sunk the public characterof the• French nation 50
per cent. We should not have wondered if Charles X. had
been at the Thailleries.
