LONDON.

FRIDAY, APRIL 8.

From the French papers, received this day by the Esta-
fette, we have extracted the spirit, in the subsequent
columns. Our readers will see, in the passages from La
Tribune, Le Moniteur, and Le National, on the subject of
the Association, and the Foreign Policy, all that is current,
pour et contre, in Paris.
Our correspondent in a short private letter, accompanying
the journals, says: " From all I can learn in a certain quar-
ter, where good information is to be obtained, there appears
to be no fear of being able to maintain the peace of Europe,
provided the popular current does not run so strong, as to
overthrow the present French Ministry. This is even
feared by their warm and sincere friends. With regard to
Russia, for all that tirade in the National, there is no fear
of her whatever ; and I understand that she fears more than
she is feared, and will be glad to let alone, to be let alove.
The King of Prussia ardently desires peace, and without the
consent of Prussia, neither Austria nor Russia can march a sol-
dier. You will perceive that a courier has arrived from Russia;
and I have been to-day assured, by the same unquestionable
authority, that the tone of that power is materially altered;
and that there is not the slightest chance of its willingly
encountering war with France. You will fail not to observe,
that it is believed here, that Austria is making a halt in her
progress, and is not expected to enter Rome."

The Times this morning continues its attacks on Belgium.
Its reasonings are those of a partizan, and the writer so.•
phisticates in every line. The Belgians do not find fault
with the mediators, for putting an end to hostilities; but
they object to the terms sought to be imposed by the minis-
ters of Russia, Austria, France and England. To recount
the names is to explain the wrong, and its cause. Dissatis-
faction is felt therefore about the terms of adjudication,
and not without reason. At the same time the protocols
aro to be regarded as propositions, not as conditions : but
there seems to have been a want of good faith in the medi-
ation, and the Royal Dutch interest obviously prevailedover
the popular interest of republican Belgium.

A circumstance is reported from different parts of the
Continent pregnant with consequences, if true. It is the
alleged declaration of war, by the TURKS and PERSIANS,
against the Russians. Finding that the Bombastes
Furies() of the Balkan had been degraded at Warsaw, and
the elite of the Russian army destroyed, those Powers,
oppressed and stript of their finest provinces by Russian
encroachment, have availed themselves of the opportunity to
take the field. Nothing would be more politic on their
part ; and, though the Turkish government is one to which
liberal men would wish no triumph, yet as none can be
worse than the Russian, so as a relief to Poland, and as
work for the leading member of the Holy Alliance, we hope
it will prove to be the fact. At the same time, it is not very
creditable to Christendom, that it should have to resort to the
Mahomedans, in resisting the barbarians of the North.

The Foreign Policy of the French Asseciators, of whom
LAFATITTE, LABORDE, LAM ARQUE, BARILLON, CONTE,
&c. &c. are at the head, is, whether right or wrong, the
principle of the Revolution. It is not intervention, and not
general war ; but resistance to intervention, and respect to
the public cause, in other countries. The opposition to so
powerful and wide-spread a party, is as bold a measure as the
issue of the Ordinances. If there be any who considered
the Revolution of July, as the mere substitution of Louis
PIIILIPPE for CHARLES X. they do not understand the
Revolution. It was never so considered by its authors,
nor by its intelligent friends abroad. The Revolution
meant a general restoration of Civil Liberty in France,
and a direct hostility to the principles of the
Congress of Vienna, and to the usurpations which thatCon-
greats supported, in various parts of Europe. Louis PHI-
LIPPE, on the contrary, seeks to govern in harmony with
the measures of the Congress ; which measures are held in
abhorrence by the liberals throughout Europe. This is the
basis of the present contest in France.
A further question has arisen to augment the difference
in France, between popular feelings and privileges. The
Chamber of Deputies, constituted even as it is, passed a
law to confer the Elective Franchise on all who pay 200
francs, in any taxes, or about 81. per annum—
a qualification about on a par with our ten pound
householders; and the law required, as the qualifica-
tion of Deputies, the payment of 500 francs, or about 201.
in taxes. But the House of Peers has limited the tax to
property only in each case; and, to render the change
plausible, have reduced the amount to 150 for an Elector,
and 400 francs for a Deputy. This would, how-
ever, entirely change the character of the Electors,
and shut out the majority of traders and inhabitants
of towns ; and hence is as unpopular as any attempt in
England would be, to raise the £lO to £l5, or .£2O. The

•
Bid is therefore to be returned to the Chamber of Deputies,
with these alterations, backed, as it would appear, by the
approbation of the Government.

The contents of the Dutch and Prussian papers, received
this day, are to the following effect :

ANSTIRDAY, APRIL 6.—We bear that OW revered Sovereign, as-
etenpanied by the royal family, will honour this city with a visit at the
end of this week.

Tax Rums, Aram 4.—Two couriers, with despatches for our go-
vanment, arrived here last night, one from Gen. Dibbets, Govanor of
Maestricht, dated March 31, announcing that on that day acme Dutch
horsemen, sent from the fortress to reconnoitre, met with sporty of Bel.
gie infantry, which fired two musket shot at them, and that the battery
of two six pounders, which waa thrown up half way on the road to Ton.
gres, and afterwards razed, was re-erected by the Belgians.
The other courier was from General Chesil., in Antwerp,
who states that he bad received a flag of truce from Oe.
neral Beaulieu, now commander of Antwerp from the Belgians,
who acquainted him that there was a great agitation in the city, and
that probably it would be necessary to employ the cannon to restore
tranquillity, but that nothing hostile was intended on the Dutch
squadron. There was a long sitting of the Cabinet Council yesterday,
after which a courier was despatched to the Duke of Saxe Weimar, Go-
vernor of Luxemburg.

Emmy, Manua 31.—An extraordinary supplement to the Jour-
nal of St. Potersbury, contains a report from Fiel(l.lla/sisal Die-
bleach, to H. M. the Emperor, dated the 13th of this month. The

Commander-in.ehief sap, that the state of the ice on the Vistula still
hinders the passage over that river. This interval of inevitable inaction
is, however, usefully employed ; the troops, fatigued by long and diffi-
cult marches, most rigorous season, have taken some repose; and all

measures have been taken to secure the subsistence of the array after it
shall have passed the Vistula. Meantime the rebels have already sent:3

flap of truce to the

Though they confess that their

force has been broken by two defeats which they have sustained, and foresee
the inevitable destruction to which an obstinate perseverance will lead,
they nevertheless ask terms worthy the presumption and extravagance of the
chiefs of the revolt. These proposals have been rejected with marked con-
tempt. The Field Idarshal then proceeds to relate the military opera.
tions of the Poles, in the midst of these negotiations, and which chiefly
consist in the expeditions of General Dwernicki.

He says that their efforts, however bold, promise them no solid ad.
vantage, and cannot in any way impede the general operations that
will be undertaken by the Russian army. Be mentions the massacre
of a squadron of Dragoons by the inhabitants of Pulawy. The advance
of Ocn. Dwernicki, with 15,000 men, his defeat of a detachment of Gen.
Kreutz's corps, and his march to Lublin, with the avowed intention
of penetrating into Volbynia. General Krauts calculating that so bold a

movement (must end in the complete overthrow of Dvemicki, if be
could draw him farther from the Vistula, suffered him to enter Lublin ;
then, by an able manceuvre, turning the left wing and rear of Dwernicki,
he impetuously attacked Lublin, and carried it by storm. He bestows
the highest praise on the conduct of Gen. Kreutz. The details coincide
with those received through other channels.

After the rebels were driven from Lublin, the movements of
General Hreuts obliged Dwernicki to abandon his position. lie
sent part of his force to Zamose, and with the other took a position

near Branowslaw, but left it In three days, and retired towards
Buebow, pursued by Count Toll, whom the Commander-in-Chief

had detached wiih s strong force to deprive Gen. Dwernicki of all
possibility of penetrating Into Voihynia, to intercept his retreat to the
Vistula, and to strike a decisive blow against him.

WARSAW, MAZCH 28.
The Commander-in. Chief has made numerous promotions in the
army. The French Col. Baron Romarino has arrived at Warsaw to
join our troops. The corps of Oen. Rosen, which the Field Marshall
•sot to clear the Woywodeship of Plock of our troops has returned, and
that Woywodeship is again free as far as the Narew.
The Wormy Courier says, "The Jews in Makow arilettremdy
hostile to our cause, they have given up many of our soldiers to the
Russians."

The Vice-President of Warsaw calls on the citizens and inhabitants
to arrest all soldiers whom they Sod begging alms.
In the military hospitals in this city there is still a great want of the
most necessary articles, beds, shirts, blankets, tables, utensils, &c.
Several members of our National Guards who, on the 24th and 25th,
lett their posts at the Bank, without permission, have been put under
arrest by the Governor General of the capital, and their names pub-
lished.

KOWINGSBURG, MARCH 26.—Our Journal of today gives,
under the head of " News from the Polish Frontiers," the fol-
lowing particulars :--44 The heed quarters of : ount Diebitsch
are still at Biennia • General Von Rosen at Weilakie ; General
Count Pahlen at Jrusalem ; Prince flehaehoffski in Paryzow ;
General Baron Gueisenau with the van guard in Grochow. Of the
second corps of the army, which has entered Volhynia, one di.
vision, under General Rafter, has already advanced to Useelug. Ge.
neral Pwernicki, pursuing the trilling advantage which he had gained,
continued too far towards Uscelug, and the Field Marshal having sent
Count Toll with a sufficient force against hint, his corps has been de-
feated at Lublin, and is at present shut up in Zamore, where it will
Poles
not be able to hold out long, for want of subsistence. The
Poles have sent several flags of truce, and proposed terms,which the Field
Marshal has rejected, requiring unconditional submission. The last flag
of truce sent was not received. The Russian army is said to be in ex.
cellent condition, and the Guards in particular very fine, as the pas-
sage over the Vistula will soon be effected • a speedy lamination of
the troubles in Poland can hardly be doubted.
The Silesian Journal says—, According to present accounts from
Warsaw of the 23d March several families have expressed a wish to
leave the City and go over the frontiers ; but the Government suffers
only the women to escape, the men of every rank are detained. As
insurrectionary movements among the citizens ate apprehendtd, all
numerous assembages of people in the streets are strictly forbidden.—
Persons are continually brought from the country as prisoners accused of
favouring the enemy, or giving them a kind reception.
The Amsterdam Observer, of March 27, contains the following ar-
ticle :—" Letters front Warsaw, of the 18th March, received at Cracow
on the 21st, say that the Russian army appears to be preparing for ef.
fecting the passage over the Vistula, at Sten:yea. This operation would
be favoured by the windings of the river at that part, which make it
practicable to protect the passage on both flanks by the erection of but-
teries, and also by the numerous islands on the river at the point in
question. On the 16th, General Uminski suddenly left Warsaw, with
the remainder of the cavalry, but it was not known in what direction.
There is no military garrison to Warsaw besides the troops that occupy
the Tete de Pont at ..—Preissian Male Gaulle, to 2d April,
inclusive.

CITY, ONE O'CLOCI.

•
Consols, which left off yesterday at 78i for the Account,
opened at the same price, and are at present 78f.
A Jamaica Mail has arrived ; sailed on the 22d February,
by which Jamaica Papers have been received at the North
and South American Coffee-house, as well as Singapore
Papers to the 28th Nov.
The Singapore Papers do not contain any news of con-
sequence.
We are happy to learn by the packet from Carthagena,
that every thing remained quiet ; the present Governor;
who is a man of great firmness and impartiality, has gained
the good will of the inhabitants.
A fire [had taken place at Guayquil, which destroyed fifty
houses, and property to an immense amount.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

Preparations are making at the Bank for a considerable
shipment of the precious metal. Gold bars to the amount
of 200,0001. for Holland, which are to go on board the
steamer Batavia, is of the best quality of gold, for the
coining of Dutch ducats ; and there is no doubt that part
of it will soon find its way to Russia, as the same coin is
current there. It is to be hoped that our sovereigns will not
bear a premium, as formerly the guineas did, at the time
they were sent out of the country by hundreds of thousands.
We have no further political news since the arrival of the
express from Paris.
Consols, which were done in the course of the morning
at 79, have receded to 781 for the Account. The report of
another change in the French Ministry has rather damped
the market.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.- EXCLUSIVE.

FOR THE STAR.

PARIS, Aran. 6.
St Rogier, attached to the Belgian Legation, left
Paris this evening for Brussels. It is believed that he is
the bearer of a notification, concerted between our Cabinet
and that of London, to engage the Government of Belgium
not to oppose the occupation of Luxembourg, by the troops
of the Confederation of the Duchy. This note grants until
the 15th of this month, to decide and take measures, which
are believed necessary to prevent all collision. Here is the
brilliant result of the conferences of London, and of five
months negociation at Paris ! Courrier Francais.
There arrived yesterday at the Russian Embassy, a courier
from Saint Petersburgh, with dispatches, which we are
assured are of the highest importance, and which have occa-
sioned a conference between the Ambassadors. This even-
ing, Count Pozzi di Borgo dispatched a courier for Russia.—
Le Temps.
Tic E ASSOCIATIONS.—You say the associations inspire
fear : why were you not the first to inscribe your names
upon the lists ? Why do you not affirm, in the face of Eu-
rope, that at no prise will you transact, or treat, with the
fallen Bourbons? Why do you not call openly upon them
the rigour of the laws, if they should attempt to venture
upon the soil of the country ? Why, in fact, do you com-
promise the nation with Kings by the grace of God? Then
the nation would have confidence in your professions ; then
they would believe in your patriotism ; and the associations
would be in your bands a powerful arm, which would make the
potentates tremble upon their thrones; then the Ministers of
Austria, Prussia, Russia, and of England, would respect
you, because they would fear you ; then you would surround
the throne of France with force and splendour ; for the
strength of kings is in the love of the people. A king
whose councillors separate him from his fellow citizens,
can with difficulty make head against storms ; and if
storms should ever arise around the throne of Louis-
Philippe, it will be upon you, his unskilful councillors,
that will fall the overwhelming responsibility. All
frightful as is the future, the salvation of the country
is not desperate ; energetic patriots can be reckoned upon ;
they are known : and you at least render us this service,
—you make us appreciate the friends of the national cause,
upon whom we can reckon for life and death. Let the
Cossacks come, and they will find Frenchmen to conquer
ei; let the Carlists dare to rise, and they will find people
to repress them. As for you, still a few days more, and
you will already have fallen ; the torrent of your faults will
drag you with it. Yon will have prepared for us the great-
est evils ; you will have done us much harm ; but we love
to hope, that they are not evils without a remedy.—Le
Tribune.

False premises must be drawn in, to support bad doctrines;
with the want of power to convince, they seek to delude ; for
want of good reasons to justify the associations, they swell
the lists of names. It is our brave and faithful army that
they would this day injure, by supposing that it was distrust-
ful of the Government of the King ; but it knows, better
than those who calumniate it, by the solicitude of which it
is the object, how much the government merits the confidence
of the country. This morning was imputed to se-
veral regiments in garrison at Mentz, the crime of
having signed, nearly en masse, the act of As-
sociation of Moselle : reports, arrived at the admi-
nistration of war, state that there were found, in the gar-
rison of that place, but two officers, belonging to any regi-
ment, who had given their signature. All the troops sta-
tioned in Moselle, officers and soldiers, observe the most
perfect discipline. One may judge of the efficacy of the
succours given to the national independence, by those who
would offer to foreigners the spectacle of the insubordination
of the troops, and of their distrust against the Government!
A strange means of making our cause respected from with-
out, and of discouraging hostile views—if we had subject for
suspicion! Happily, the army understands patriotism better
than those who would instruct it. It waits for orders to act
only from the King !—..hfoniteur.
In spite of the habitual reserve of M. Sebastiani, and the
care with which he so skilfully endeavours to speak nothing,
there escaped from him yesterday a positive denial. M.
Mauguin said, that at the moment when the Russian army
commenced the campaign of Poland, the Major-General,
Strogonoff, negociated at Berlin, the passage of the Russian
army across the Prussian states ; and to allow conditionally
the march of provisions. M. Sebastian' denied the fact.—
" You are badly informed," said he, " it was not the Major-
Gen. Strogonoff, it was Marshal Diebitsch himself; it was he
who was charged with that demand, and who opened the
negociations ; I can speak to the purpose, because I am suf-
ficiently well acquainted with what put." We are entirely
disposed to believe what the minister said ; we are convinced
that he spoke from certain knowledge, when he aimed that
it was Field-Marshal Diebitsch himself, and not the
Major-General who went to Berlin; we admit that, for
this time, Prussia did not condescend to grant that
which was required of her. It is not less convinc-
ing, however, to all the world, that Russia bad the
intention to proceed upon the Rhine, across Germany; and
that, if she has not done it at present, we may consider that
it has been caused by the campaign in Poland, and the re •
fusel of Prussia. He must be very obstinate who will not
see, in a fact so clearly established, at once, by what has
been said, and by the avowal of the Minister, new proofs of
the amicable intentions of Russia in our respect, of the sin-
cerity of these pacific protestations, with so much of false-
hood in them ; and this is the certainty with which our
Ministry is sure of maintaining the peace of Europe ! ! !
—Le National.

SPAIN.

Extract of a letter from Bayonne, dated March 27th.—
" Arrests continue at Madrid. More than forty of the
principal families of that capital have been delivered over to
military commissions. The insurrection at Valencia has
been suppressed. They have also arrested several persons
of distinction at Bilboa, Vittoria, and Saragossa. We learn
that the four hundred prisoners of the Isle of Leon have
been, or will be, shot. Torrijos had but 1,800 men, and
not 3000, as I at first wrote you. They have opposed to
him considerable forces, to which it will be impossible for
him to offer resistance, whatever may be his efforts and his
courage. It appears certain now, that upon all the points
where they essayed to raise the constitutional banner, the
discontented found the population at least indifferent,and the
troops faithful to King Ferdinand. This has, for the pre-
sent at least, annihilated all their hopes.
