BELGIUM AND HOLLAND.
The Dutch appear to be very seriously Prepar-

was brilliant pagent. A warmheared congra-

he made an appropriate response. IN the even

RUSSIA AND THE POLES
The following letter from Paris. dated Satur-
day evening July so, containing variety of ex-
tracts from, the Paris papers of that day. we find
in the London Star of August lst. As the Lon
don papers of the Cd do not give any additional
facts corroboralive Of these accounts, we cannot
express ourselves very positively in favor of their
authenticity; still, however, it is gratifying to find
that the reports of Saturday, nnfavorable to the
sacred caaSe Of liberty in Poland, may not be
well founded, and there Is room to hope that the
Russian arms may have experienced another re-
verse.

victory having been obtained by the Poles over

| II, 900 taken prisoners. The announcement had
an electric effect; the National Guards and the
people embraced each other in transports of Joy,
and the air was rent by shouts of defiance to the
power of the despot, and vows of devotion to the
cause of the patriots. An extensive insurrection
