WARSAW, DECEMBER &
The following is the excellept funeral oration on
Kneasesto, delivered by his companion in arms, M.
Von NIISMICIEWITZ, on the ozcasion of his funeral so-
h:malty, November 14 :
This mournful solemnity.' this homage to the
descl, these flaming torches, this multitude of assem-
bled nobles and people, these mournful Accents of the
revered priest—all, all announce to us a bitter, an
irreparable loss. But what can I add to.the sugges-
tions of yotir own feelings—what to the words of the
reverend 'seri:tot of religion is Ali ! it does not befit
these grey hairs, bending forward into the grave—n
does nut become my broken voice—it dues not be-
come a mind such u mine now is, enfeebled by years
aeil fatigues, to i;eak of the man of peace and war.
But it is your pleasure that I shOuld address you;
And, disregarding my own unfitness for the task, I
will.obey you; and, following the dictates of my
own grief, will become ete interpreter of the genet al
sorrow. Oar country has suffered matty and great
losses within the course of these few years; but no
loss fills us with greater sorrow than that Which we
bewail in the death of our Thaddeus Kosciusko. To
pronounce the name of Kosciusko awakens in the
beast of every Pole a thoussind grateful, but at the
same time a thOusand.mournlol recollections: it re-
calls a pattern of civic virtue, that patriotism which
flamed in his" breast with the purest fire till his last
sigh, his intrepid courage in battle,- his manly perse
Nemec in misfortune, his •Roman simplicity of man-
ners, and his modesty, which is always the insepara-
ble companion of clue merit.
" Before history describes' our misfortunes, and
pourtrays the transcendent Meths of the 0340, it nag
be allowed hie cotemporaties to take a -brief view of
his lite and deeds. Thaddeus Kosciusko sprung from
an ancient family in the Waywodthip of Litisuanian
Break; received his first education in the military school
wended at that time by Staiiislaus A.ugustis. The
'COmmandant of this School, Prince Adam Catena
ryski, observed in this youth an uncommon talent
And love for the military art, and sent him, at his
own expense. to France, there to be educated. a'd
his last moment Kosciusko retuentbered with "a
nide his benefactor. 'foe state of weAVnesi and sins
*Lion under which Poland then labourid excited in
the beau of the youth deep sorrow 'and despair. He'
proceeded therefore to a toreiE4n land to fight for in-
dependence, as no opportunity oiiirett 01.0luggljag
for it 011 his native soil. A couspakuni of the ins-
mortal Washington, he boldly shared his dangers and'
his battles, from 'Hudson's river7to' the Potomac, and
from the Atlantic Ocean to the Lakes of Canada, he
'endured incredible haedships, he .gained a taming
renown; and what was more than all this, he ob-
tained the gratitude of a free people. •
'IS' Already did the flag of the United States float,
Oiler the American forts—already was thegreat work
of liberation adapieta, betel e- Kosciusko returacd to
his iiitive land. • •
",Just then the Polish nation, aroused from its fa-
milul prociatlaermehaddon"tthri"Selofthiselace,'
and declared its determination to million to 00 laws
`)%k its oten. Thence hostile attacks—theace die war
fitat ensued. Say, ye imperishable witoes,el7-say,

and his Polish bands did not h6ht as br-.arar

in a abut time the insul:ed dignity of our nation,
.nd the pnli,Ji-us dismemberment of oar Provinces,
AAAIII razed up our bitterest indignation. The es.
nets of our misfortunes roused the naiion to a notsk
despair; oar Agonized country again seized :he swore
.ind put it into the hand► of Kosciusko.

The ties which unite us with a fraternized nu.
tion, the possession of a common Sovereign, and our
gratitude to the Emperor Alexander. forbid me .to
-nlarge on the events of this celebrated war. Kr..
scu.ko led against disciplined nations, n .t bodies of
troops distinAttished for their regtfar arrAy .ind mili-
tary splendour, but bands of pe,,satirg, attn-,I with
the implements of husbandry. Yet in hos. misty bat-
ties, how many sieges, how many frightful niabtly
attacks, how many dr,:rtnishes. did he not lead them
on to glory ! Our soil was reddened with the blood
of our champions before it became our tomb. The
results of so many surifices were cruel letters. We
wore them for two years; they would even have con-
doned longer, and thou, Kosciusko, wouldst not have
ended thy lamented days in thy fire residence of So.
leure, nor would thy thousand companions in arms
have ended their wretched existence on their own soil,
but would have died in foreign chains, had it not
been for the magnanimous Emperor P.aul I. The
first act of his sovereignty was the breaking of the
chains of 20,000 Poles. Thanks to thy revered shade,
Poland will always pronounce the name of ,Paul with
gratitude.

" When Kosciusko was liberated, he never more
returned to his mourning country—to the land which
had now become a foreign land to him. He directed
his view to a distant region, where when a youth he
had fought for freedom. and which, as it was tree, he
adopted as his second country. Although lame, and
covered with wounds, he did not permit himself to
be deterred from his purpose by the hardships or the
dangers of a see voyage. On this passage, the depth.:
of the ocean had neariy become. the grave of our
champion. In the darkness of night a ship belonging
to a fleet of mercinentm.:n returning tram Jamaica
having parted from the rest, and sailing with incre-
dible speed, ran foul of the American vessel in which
we were. Masts, rigging, and sails became entangled,
end these two. heavy vessels darhed against each
other with violence. The terrors and confmion of
the passengers on deck were gee:et...l; death appear.
ed before the eyes of all. In this frightful moment
Kosciusko alone maintained his usual ectneosure..L.
His lastliour wes not yet come. Pitov:oexce de-
creed that he thotilllive to see the day when tile
magoenimoos Alerander would preclaiin the re.
erection of the kingdom cf Pelir.d. . V.ri:h the loss of

minent dangtr : our melancholy voyage lasted 70
days. At list we espied the shores 4 the happy

and ut Frenklin. received Kosciusko into its besom.
After so en my disasters, this was our first joyful
blessed moment. • The .members of the 4,sesohlea
Congress, his old companions in arms, his aftgistitt-
timer, and all the-peek came to welcome hie etrivel,

places through which he passed after his liberations in

It is gratitying to the heart of every Pole to behold its

prudence, respect and regret for an unirsitY extio-
guished nation.
o Whether it was from the impulse of deceitful
; hope, .nr trim the wish of consulting able physicians
tot the restoration of his health, Kosciusko once more
was induced to set his toot on the shores of &mope.
Already had he learned the nethiegoess of promises.
and the fruitless nature of all human crertioes, and
therelore removed to a distance frem the din of tile

The two days Paris Papers which were in smear.
have arrived just as we are about going to peen.
Their columns are almost wholly occupied with
the continued Debates of the Chambers on the Pro-
jects of Law suspecting the Liberty of the Press, and
the Finances.•

In the Chamber of Deputiei on Monday, M. Put
brought under reconsideration the singular manner
in which the part of the Project on the Liberty of the
Press, which relatedtothe,lournals, had been detached
from the rest, and passed en the instant as a distinct
law by itself. TheChansber. after many discussions,
bad been on thdpoint of proceeding to the determine-
don of thq whole articles of the Project in regular order,
when a nkotion was made to separate the 27th Article
and vote Upon it first $ this motion was carried, and
the question being then put on the Amendment pro-
posed by the Commission on Article 27, tbet &bend-
ment was carried, and a deilaration added in the
Minutes of the Sitting that it should be emitlerd es.
law. M. Fur pratested that such a mode of proce-'
dare was utterly illegal—that, in order to convert
into a law the Amendment oftbe
would be nectresart also to bawl, an'Ordonnenets of
the King convertinir it into a Project of Law, as the
right of initiating laws Tested exclusively 'with his
Majesty. In this objection M. PUT was supported
by M. Vp.t.aca and. several other Members phut us
the previous question being moved (no very credit-
Able way, as M. de Pter Observed, of getting rid of
a question of such vital iniportaece) it was carried
by a great majority. .
The Chamber neat proceeded to the discussion of
an interim Project of Law connected with the Bud•
get, which, after some discussion passed, is the fol-
lowing terms:-Ist, Provisionally, and until the
completion of the Assessment Rolls of 1818, the
first six•twelfths of the direct contributions for 1818
shall be levied upon the Rolls for 1817. 2d. Until
the promulgation of the new law of Finances, all the
indirect imposts shall be received in 1818, according
to the laws in force for the service of 1817. 3. In
consequence of the two.preceding articles, the Mini-
ster of Finances shall have a provisionary credit of
200 millions of francs, reserving to the Chamber the
right of afterwards regufeting the appropriation
shat credit.

The consideration of the remaining articles of the
Project of Law was afterwards resumed, and in eon-

The appeal lain accordingly put on Tuesdair, the.
amendment was declared to be carried by a mejerhy
of 128 'avian 114. ' The effect of it is that no per-

Of the other Articles of the Project, the roost im-
portant was that which involved the question, whe-
ther Trial by Jury should be introduced in cans of

for the pievions question, which, we revet *Rye
was carried, and the conned of the press tins lift in

The Chamber did pot. at this Bitting, get through
the whole of the remaining Articles, and deferred
the dud conclusion of this long-nratened matter till
the following day.
A Report from the Conenissioaen Of the Sinking

materials for considerable discus ion.
The pars of the Project 01. Law on the Press re-
spectingthe Journals, which had been passed as a dig-
Cunt law, was presented to thethavnber of Peers on
Tuesday, but instead of entering into a public discui-
iion upon it, they hive remitted it to
.a spacial Com-
mittee, composed of the following Members s-i-Mar.
leis Dissom,s, Marquis de LALLY TOLLIDIDALp
Marquis de MARBOIip Count ABIUAL, and Viscount
de LAMOIGNON.

An opposition was raised by some Members to the
reception of the Project, on the sane ground of un-
constitutional informality which had been mooed in
the Chamber of Deputies, but without effect.
The Funds have had a partial rise. The 5 per

A Letter from Berlin, brought by the last Mail,
states, that the Anti• Anglo Manufacture Association
makes more noise than converts. There are, it is
said, some Prussians, who would rather ruin them-
selves than wear any thing not of German manufac-
ture; but in general the buyers prefer, as might
reasonably be expected, those articles which, tweeds
paritsu, they can buy cheapest, never troubling them-
selves to enquire whether manufactured at Potsdam
or Birmingham.

Our Readers have been before • informed, that a
very essential change has lately taken place in the
Prussian Cabinet. Baron SCHEICKMAtiNo the Minister
of the Interior, is no longer at the head of that de-
partment, and his place has been given to Baron
ALT/Miran!, who had for some years been out of
the Cabinet ; during, and indeed before that time, he
has been much devoted to literary pursuits, and to
Botany and other blanches of Natural History.

in another colUmn we have given the reasoning
advanced by Judge WASHINGTON, as preliminary to
his committal of eleven British officers to prison at Phi-
ladelphia, on the allegation that the transporting their
own bodies through the United States, in a journey,
presumed to have for its ultimate result a junction
with the Patriots of South America, .amounts to a
breach of the Law of the United States of 1794, in-
asmuch as the removing of Asir own bodies to the
scene of warfare is Enmeshing the principal means of
war, military weapons being very harmless articles,
when not accompanied by bands to-wield them. In
spite of this weak man's reasoning, the fact remains
as we stated it on Tuesday. All travellers have *
right so pass unmolested through any country with
which we are at peace, nor has that country any thing
vdo with the ultimate object of their jonswey, but only
with vinlation of the laws of the traversed sanitary. I
It is not pretended that these Officers were levying
recruits in the United States or fitting' out arme4l
vessels. They were oittlkaansPoniPtiheis own. Par.
sons, and only carried with them their aide arm%
which every half pay British Officer has aright it?
wear t nor were they even taking out a passage di.
rut for South America (but for the West Indies),
tbough,as this “ second bAHLICL" must have known,
there were abundance of vessels then clearing out
directly and openly for South America ! though he
has ant presumed to interfere with the voyage or des-
tioation of those vessels—and though it is notorious
that these vessels carry with them arms and muni-
tions of war.

The meaning of the law is obvious: it is in effect
and principle, the same as the laws of the European
States respecting neutral belligerents--that arma•
meats shall not be fined out in their ports avowedly
for the berviee of either of the parties. How would
Imams look, were he to learn that eleven subjecti
of the United States, taking a passage from England
for the West Indies, bad been cast into prison-on the
pretext or suspicion, aye or even the certainty, that
their ultimate object was to join themselves to the
army of Faantsaun or of the Patriots-in South A awe-
.rica Is such a case we mould have abundance of
Yanky slang in the columns of the American papers,
, respecting thelawlass arrogance of the English Judge
who presumed to imprison an American subject.
However, we feel quite Confident that our Govern=
went will not suffer this act of foreign oppression so
pen without due reprehetuion and satisfaction.
This morning we received American- Papers one
day later than our last supply. The iiTerionkirst4.-
`go war of the 24th ultimo, states, that several Agents
from South America are at present in the United
States, with whose names and capacities .the Editor
professes to-be but little known, but promises to make
mot &ries for the information of his Readers. He 11

States, and whom we have always respected for
every thing we. know of him, formerly seat as Mi-
nister from Venezuela, is Dow stated by the Aram
to have been appointed Governor of Amelia Island,
under the flag of Mexico." Of this appointment the'
Southern paper gives us no information.

The same paper informs us, that Se Don Maxim.
de Aomays, Commissioner from the Independent
Governments of South America, Buenos Ayres, and
Chili, has appointed Don Kamm Movsoto to be
his Agent in Baltimore." M. Away:, of whose
official capacity we are thus apprised was, we under-

Some time since a Member of the American Con-

a little *irksome mixture. The door-keeper remon-

knowing to what account be should charge the et-

customary drink ?" said the honourable Member.
"To that of statiosary," replied the doorkeeper:
" Then charge the brandy," rejoined the Memberf
" to that of fad."

" I shall now proceed to notice some other offences

cognizance, but which public report informs us have

the United States, in violatiou of the neutral profes-
sions and character of our government, against laws
made many years ago to prevent them. We have
beard of the privateers fitted out in some of the'portia
of the United States, with intent to cruise against
the subjects of Spain, with whose government we sae
at peace, under commissions granted by persons as-
suming the powers of government in the Spanish .pro-
vinces of America. under colour of which commis-

siouM acts of the most onjustifieble violence and ra-
pine have been committed. We have also heard of
commissions issued, sod enlistments made within the
United States, for the purpose of aiding the revolu-
tionists in those provinces.
•e At as early a period in the existence of our pre-
sent form of government as the year 1794, a few
passed forbidding any citizen of the United States to
accept and exercise within the jutisdiction of the
United States a commission to serve a foreign Prince

United States for any vessel to the intent that she

States in time of war between foreign powers with
whom the United States ate at peace—or to set on
foot within the jurisdiction of the United States, or
to provide- or prepare the means fur any military
enterprise to be carried on from thence against the
territory of any foreign Prince or state being at
peace with the United States.—lt would seem that
Congress at its last sessions determined to evince the.
most marked disapprobation of the expedition whiCh
had been Rued out within the United States to de-
predate upon the subjects of Spain, by enacting some
sew psooisions to supply amissismase sopposed oasis.
sisals hi the former law, and itsmease the penalties
before imposed. For whereas the act of 1791 in rela-
tion to the fitting out and arming vessels within the
waters of the United States, confined the offence to
vessels intended to cruize or coMmit hostilities in the
service or employment of some foreign Priors or State.'
the law of 1817 extends this provision to vessels fitted
out for the purpose of beiug employed in the service,
not only of a foreign Prince or state, but of arty Co-
key, District. or People. clearly pointing to the expe-
ditious which bad been fitted out in the ports of the
United States to assist the revolutionists in the Spa-
nish. American provinces.
66 So likewise augmenting the force of any armed
vessel within the jurisdiction of the United States in
the-service of a foreign Prince or state. which is t, r.
bidden by the Act of 1794, is equally interdicted by
that of 1817 in cases where the vessel at the time of
her arrival within the waters of the United States,
was an armed vessel in the service of any Colony.
District, or People, or belonging to the subjects or
citizens of such colony or district.
66 Still more effectually to put a stop to these un-
lawful equipments, the law of 1817 not only increases
. the penalties and duration of imprisonment to double
what they before were. but it reqnires the owners of
'armed vessels sailing from ports of the United State%
wholly, or in part, owned by citizens of the United:
States, to give bond with sufficient sureties that the
said vessels shall-nut be employed by such owners in
cruizing or committing hostilities aforesaid ; and the
collectors are further authorised to detain vessels
built for warlike purposes, *boot todepirt from the
United States, the cargoes of which consist princi-
pally of arms and monitions of war, when there exist
circumstances that render it probable that theism
;intended to erase or commit hostilities against friend.
iy powers is before mentioned. •
16 It is to be hoped that the strength of the ezecoal
live arm (for the President is vested with very cues.
sive powers to prevent the perpetration of the offences
above described) and the vigilance of the Custom•
house officers, with the cooperation of the judicial
authorities, aided by the patriotism of all well-dis-
posed citizens, will release our country from the un-
merited stigma of secretly taking part in a war which
our government is unwilling °peel, to countenance.
' " I know- that plausible pretexts are not wanting
to palliate these lawless acts, and even to render them
popular with those who regard rather the avowed
shan-the real motive of the perpetrators of them.
68 The emancipation of an oppressed 'Staple is
Urged as an elm' for these military expeditions.
Bet as it must be admitted that obedience to the laws
of our country is the first duty of a ;poi citizen, it
folltrin that a wilful violation of these laws can never
-find an excuse in the motive which induced it, bow-
er/Ir. vs might approve the motive, were the laws.
ant ca the subject.. I must, nevertheless, be per.
witted to .suspect the sincerity of the motive which
is pawned to these cases. Search to the bottom and
'it will be found to originate in self-interest—in a
eolith*, for that weifith which is torn by power from
the hoods ts: its deiruceiess owners."
