 l do not believe this. Our excellent and admi-
 rable friends of the Polish Committee do not
 partake of this opinion. The brave, the gal lant, the patriotic, the intrepid, uhdying hero of two revolutions, and of liberty both iii France and in America, the immortal I.afav-
 ette! has still not merely hopes for Poland,
 but the strongest and lWeliest hopes Even
 rom that Prince of Iesuits, M. Horace Se-
 bastan, we learn that there were 36 .OOO lie1 it, ,..,,
 rendered, as well as 26,000 at Warsaw, who
 had retired upon Modlin. Still, then, we have
 some grounds for hope; for although the Li- , thuanan revolution is not prosperous, yet it
 is not extinct; and though in Volhynia the in- surrection has not been successful, vet s'or- der had not been "re-estabished;'' and in
 the Russian provinces, though at Novogorod
 the military tumults had been for the moment
 appeased, yet dissatisfaction and disorder uni , versally prevail. This band of 60, GOO men may yet be able to preserve the ark of safety . from becoming the prey of tyrants; and we ; may yet hearof triumphs and victories which
 shall restore us to warmth and admiration, ) for at presen. we are frozen, torpid and dead ) The Renters, the Bankers, the Bank and l East India Directors, and the pursy, sleepy, gold loving men of London will hope for other results. They will hope that the Emperor will manifest his 'clemency," prove his ''for- - bearance,' publish an amnesty! appoint f Polish Viteroy! ''grant Constitution" <" Gre
 tain his sovercignty!'' but s'pardon his offend ing children" " and thus restore 'tpeace and order!" They will exclaim ''Brave Polest" "Magnanimous hcrocs!" "Wonderful peo- 5 ple!" But if you look for their names among the holders of Polish subsidees, you will disco yer not even one of them, though. after this signal success, they will purchase Russian bonds at rise of five or ten per cent But
 the friends of freedom, of civil and religious liberty all the word over. ana Of the greatest happiness, and of principle, will not thus feel or thus hope. No,no; the Poles must come to no terms; must listen to no proposals; must carry the war into the enemy's country; must , keep the Russian forces from obtaining either provisions or forage; must proceed to Volhy- mia, Lythuana, and the Russian provinces, and excite all the empire to revolt and insur- rection. They must take the cholera to one province, and the pest to another, and war l and famine everywhere; and compel the Em- peror Nicholas to evacuate Poland, or to es tabish national and representative govern
 ments where now no law is known but his will, and where no rights are enjoyed but those held by virtue of a royal decree. The Poles must not, and 1 believe will not lay down their arms They must not, and believe will not, ever recognize the Emperor of Russia as their sovereign. But the battle must be fought inch by inch with despotism, while a sword and a soldier remain on the field. Hungary may rise, Poscn may rise, Prussia may rise, the small German States may rise; the cause of Poland is everywhere felt to be European
 but in France and Great Britain; and though Warsaw has fallen, 1 am not reduced to de- spair.
 The impression produced by this news at , Paris has been marked, decided, profound It has not been confined to a pGrt--nor to the r students, or the journalists, or the Deputies, or the middlng or lower classes. The funds have fallen-eyen the public funds, cruel 5 and cold as they are-have felt this triumph . of despotism to be vast evil; the Theatres , are closed-the streets are the scenes of agi- , tation; the residence of Sebastiani has been 9 attacked by the people-some citizens have r sought for arms as in July, 1830-the Marseil- laisc has been sung underline windows of Poz- 20 di Borgos-the Deputies expressed their t regrets, their shame and their disgrace in no C measured language, and with no set phrases ] or terms of oratory-thc journals are full of C bitterness and invective, and the most mode n rate men hang down their heads and mutter, : "We are certainly for peace, but not for peace = and dishonor, disgrace and shame.
