POLAND.

According to accounts from Warsaw, the garrison
and all the civil authorities of that Capital took the
oath to the Emperor Nicholas, on the 2i of January.
His Imperial Highness the Grand Dake Constantine
on this occasion left the Belvedere for the first time,
since the death of his Majl,st y Alesander, and received in
person the oath of the Russian Regiments of the Guard,
for his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas; the PolisliGuards
took the oath to General Krasinski, the other regiments
to the respective Generals of Divisions. The Senate
assembled in the Palace to take the oath, the other
authorities in the bureaux.

On the same day the Manifesto of the Emperor
Nicholas I. in which he announces his ac.:ession to
the throne, was published at Warsaw, with the supple-
ments belonging to it. The Warsaw Journal (Jlonilor
Warszataski) of the 2d inst. contains also the two fol-
lowing Imperial Proclamations, relative to Pol4nd ;

t.—Extract from the Promcol of the Office of Secretary of State

of the Kingdom of Poland.

" We, by the grace of Goo, Nicholas I. Emperor of all the
Russia', King of Poland, &c. &c. &e. to all and every one whom it
may concern, considering the lst and 3d articles of the Constitu-
tion, which prescribed irrevocably the union of the Kingdom of
Poland with the Russian Empire, and in the same order of suc-
cession, we ordain,

"The Manifesto which we issued on the 12th (24th) of this month
to all our subjects, without exception, is common to our kingdom
of Poland; we therefore order the publication of the said Manifesto
in that kingdom, and the observance of the directions contained in
it relative to the oath of allegiance to be taken to us, as well as in
respect to the date of our accession.
" Paces ! We have already signified, that it is our unalterable
wish that our Government may be merely a continuation of the
Government of his Majesty the Emperor and King, Alexander I.
of glorious memory; and we thereby also declared, that the Insti-
tutions which he gave you shall be maintained. In consequence, I
swear and promise before Goa, that I will observe the Constitution
and cause it to be observed, to the utmost of my power.
" Implore Gated blessing for us, and help us with that devoted-
ness and confidence (which we expect from you as a valuable le-
gacy of the late Sovereign, whose loss we lament) in the exercise
of the difficult duties imposed upon us, and be convinced that we.
penetrated with the sentiments of our predecessor towards you,
will constantly and with equal goolwill, give you proofs of our
most sincere Royal regard.
" Given at our Imperial Palace in St. Petersburgh, the 13th
(25th) of December, in the year of Grace, 1825, aad the first of
our reign. (Signed) " NICHOLAS."

11. Extract from the Protocol of the Secretary of State's Office
of the Kingdom of Poland.

44 We, by the grace of Goo, Nicholas I: Emperor of all the
Ruuias, King of Poland, &c. Iltc. &c. considering that the course

welfare of the country and to the public service, we have resolved

out exception, and are to continue in the exercise of their respec-
tive functions.

minister justice in our name.
_

0 4. We charge our Viceroy with the execution of this ordon-
nance, which shall be inserted iu the Bulletin of the Laws.

(25th) of December. the year of Grace 1845, and the first of our
reign. (Signed) 0 NICHOLAS."

From the Rio de Janeiro Papers, which are to the
14.1, of November, we learn that Sir Crt ARL Es Srua R r
was still there, and that the 21st of November had
been fixed on for an entertainment to be given to
his Excellency by the British merchants, previously
to his departure for Buenos Ayres, which was to take
place on the following day, the 22d, in the DhatoNe
frigate. The accounts received at Rio of the action of the
12th,of October, near Monte-Video, shew results not less
fatal than those given by the Independent party, since
they state the loss of the Brazilians at fifty-two Officers
and four hundred soldiers killed and wounded, with
upwards of a thousand Officers and men taker, pri-
soners. MANOEL, the commander of the Brazilians, is
stated to have fallen in the action. This disaster ha.l
caused very great alarm at Rio, where an aprreheo-
sion was entertained that the victorious troops would
march into the province of Rio Grande. Exe:tions
were making to equip another expedition, to consist of
all the disposable force of the capital, estimated at
two thousand five hundred men, which was to sail be-
fore the end of the month, to reinforce the garrison of
Monte-Video, which will probably prove the last scene
of the contest between Brazil and Buenos-Ayres, for
the possession of the Banda Oriental.

In a preccdin2; column we have inserted an arthlz
from a Fra.ch I`..ver on some real or imaginary

i,faction in Russia. Another Fiench jogrnal given
list of forty persons who were arrested for the event
3: 9t. Petersburgh on the 26th ult. It is said the
ir.utineers demanded a Constitution.

In a preceding page we have inserted two interesting
tllcuments, viz. a Treaty for regulating the Commerce
l,t:ireen Great Britain and Brazil, combined with a full
recognition of the independence of the latter State; and
a rreaty for the abolition of the traffic in slaves, which
is to take place within the space of four years, or
sooner, if possible. The laudable anxiety manifested by
the British Government to ensure the abolition of sl.r-
:•ery is gratifying to humanity, and weregret that other
EoropCan Powers do not join in wiping this foul re-
proach horn their Governments.

We undetstand that those highly respectable book-
sellers, and liberal patrons of the Fine Arts, Messrs.
Hunst. and Itc`BINSON, who, owing to the recent col -
s:ernation in the commercial world, partially suspended
payments, have arranged their aff rirs satisfactorily,
~-J resumed business as usual. The eminent house of
CoNsraaLa and Co. Edinburgh, which had also stopped
ay client. will no doubt surmount all its difficulties, and
cultinue to enrich the literature of the country with
new works of merit. Messrs. KNIGHT and LACEY, of
Paternosrer.row, Vic, had hitherto borne up against the
storm,have at length suffered in the wreck of credit, and
in crlasequence of the heavy losses occurring in the
layrkselling trade, have been compelled to suspend their
p ivments. This is much to be regretted, as they were,
though young, very er.terprising booksellers ; and many
of their publications were of a highly useful class.
