x•ill satisfy true Poles but independence of Rus-
sia, cost what it may, PASKEWITSCH will be
compelled either to fight the Poles in front of
Warsaw, or enter into arrangements, such u the
patriots will insist upon.

We consider all that is said in the Prus-
sian journals, about the arrival of large re-
inforcements, under Katurz, as dust thrown
in the eyes of the Prussian public. Any person
%rho consults the map, may perceive that KREUTZ
would have to march to the Vistula through Pod-
laehia—a country altogether Polish ; while his
troops would,at least,consist only of those who could
he spared from Lithuania. As to Runtosit, he
appears to have encountered unexpected obstacles,
if he has not been utterly routed, as the Cracow
letters received through the last ten days, have led
as to believe. We infer, therefore, that unless
PASKEWITSCH receive the reinforcemects on which

he calculates, that he has not sufficient strength to
attack Warsaw ; and, probably, as the private
letters from Berlin to Hambnrgh indicated, may
have been obliged to fall back.

The Berlin GaigironTe2d is entirely occu-
pied by portentous accounts of the advance of the
cholera to that capital. Several patients are an-
nounced ; and the disease appears to be afflicting
other Prussian cities. This we regard as a very
severe stroke on the prosperity of Prussia, far ex-
ceeding any advantages which its malign Govern-
ment could derive from the treacherous support
which it has given to the pestiferous Russians. It
is a melancholy case of political retribution, in
which thousands of Prussian families must
unhappily suffer. In the first place, the
Prussian Government permitted Russian fleets
to enter Dantzic, and other ports, freighted
ith warlike stores ; by which those hi-
therto flourishing places became scenes of deso-
lation. In like manner the Prussian frontiers
have served as points d'appui to the Russian
army, the whole of which were propagators of this
fatal disease among the unfortunate subjects of
Prussia. The disease being thus transplanted to
the banks of the Spree,' we may soon expect to
hear of its being at Hamburg, in Denmark, Nor-
way, and Holland, though it might never have
passed the Niemen, but for the recklessness of the
Emperor NICHOLAS, and the ill-judged policy—
to say the very least—of the Court of Prussia.
We daily expect to hear also of its appearance
at Vienna, if it had not shown itself in that city,
when the last ambiguous accounts left it. The
Danube below Vienna appeared to be generally in-
fected, at distances not greater than that of
Gravesend from London. This calamity is also
to be ascribed to the Russian invasion of Podolia
and Gallicia, a circumstance which might have
been prevented, if the Courts of Vienna and Berlin
had, with energy, insisted on the Russian observ-
ance of that Polish Constitution, which both had
guaranteed. There never was a more memorable
instance of the folly and wickedness of despising
the maxim, that " honesty is the beet policy."

The Gazette of last night contains the names
of eight Commoners who have been raised to the
dignity of Baron; two Scotch Earls, who have
been created Marquisses ; one English Earl—
Grosvenor—created Marquis of Westminster; one
Scotch Viscount created an Earl ; Lord George
Cavendish created Earl of Burlington ; Viscount
Duncan, Earl of Camperdown ; and six Irish Peers
created Peers of the United Kingdom. Most of
them are persons known to, and respected by the
public ; others chiefly known in the Court cir
des. The immense property of Lord Grosvenor
justifies this advrncement in rank. We pre-
sume, however, that all of them will add to
the strength of Ministers in the House of Peers,
on the ensuing trial of the strength of parties in
that Assembly.
We confess that we expected—and we are quite
sure the public at large expected--that a comes-
'ion would appear in the same Gasetts to Caown
DIBTORI, as at once just and liberal; and we
have entertained hopes, that this occasion would
hare been sought, to issue an amnesty to the
UNCONVICTED DUDA& aIoTERs.-a measure
which we regard as necessary and politic. Is
there not as good reason to expect this last con-
cession from the British Government, as to de-
mand, as we have done, an amnesty from Fer-
dinand ?

In the House of Commons, u usual, a great
variety of petitions were presented. On introducing
a petition from Wexford, against the yeomanry,
the words " Massacre at Netotonbarry" led to a
discussion, in which the phrase was jus-
tified, and the petition received, and ordered to
be printed. In a Committee of Ways and Means,
Mr. Hume objected to the distinction of consoli-
; dated fund ; and Mr. Rice said its abolition was
`under consideration.

Lord G. Somerset made some observations about
the confused state of the Custom House, which
Lord Althorp declined to answer till this day. Mr.
Hume complained of the inconveniences suffered
by the company in the Abbey in getting away,
ing to an obstruction of carriages by the police.
Mr. Rice mowed for the usual sum in aid of edu-
cation in Ireland, which led to a long explanation
from Mr. Stanley, relative to the proportion of Pro-
testant and Catholis schools, for which we refer to
the debate. Mr. North, Mr. Lefroy, Mr. Brown-
-I,°w, Mr. Wyse, Mr. Conolly, Mr. Sbeil at great
length, Mr. Shaw, Mr. Wright, Mr. Gordon, Mr.
° Connell, &c. iSec, spoke on the subject. Capt.

Gordon made use of his usual violent language
about the Catholics, and was answered by Mr.
O'Connell with great spirit, who maintained that
the Catholic Priests were not opposed to educe-
cation ; and who complimented Mr. Stanley on
his improved views.

At two o'clock this afternoon there was a Con-
ference of the Ministers of the Great Powers,
on the affairs of Belgium, at the Foreign Office ;
and, at four o'clock, a Cabinet Council.

ROYAL EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Not more than five thousand Consols have been
negotiated during the whole of the morning. Con-
sols may be quoted at present 82i to for the ac-
count.

The foreign market is in the same state as that
of the British, not a bargain doing.

TWO O'CLOCK.

We have no news of any description, nor is there
any expected until Monday by the steamers from
Holland and Hambro'
