ishes London papers Of 2O,h.ult., giving,
In unquesiionabIe. detail, the accoun, of
the surrender of Warsaw, and the DOWN
fall Of Poland, for the army that retired
upon Plozk, retired by the order of, and
subject 10, their conquerors. The letter
Of o. p. q. breathes spirit Of imdigna-
tion, which every generous mind must
shure. The deep sensation which this
news occasioned in Paris, led, il will be
seen, to acts of tumult; and may yet
overturn a throne which, raised upon
popular insurrection in favor OF freedom,
has been cold indeed 10 the principles Of
its origin, rs illustrated by the Poles. Ii
is said that both Casimir Perrier and
Gen. Sebastian were in peril Of their
lives from the violence Of the tumult, but
we find no particulars or evidence Of
such an occurrence. That they may
lose their places, however, seems more
probable. The debate in the Chamber
ofDeputies, which resulted in confirming,
in opposition To ministers, the decoration
titles, and military rank granted during
the 100 days, is one Of the indications
that the Chamber is hostile To them; and
the discussion respecting Poland, which
was TO be had on the succeeding Monday,
would possibly eyeutuate in their resig-
nation. The Morning Chronicle thus
speculates upon the news I'VE have
more than once stated, that the reduction
Of Poland would in NIL probability be the
end Of the reign of Louis Philip; and we
are much mistaken ifthe aspect of affairs
nj Paris do not now lead tn Il change of
Government. The French IRE greatly
incensed that the Poles, who by their ris-
ing enabled them TO give consistency to
their revolution, and place themselves on
a fonting of equality with the military
powers, have been rather injured than
aided by the government Of Louis Philip.
The papers are, l,uwever, unjust towards
the Goyernment. The French and En-
gl,sl, could not have prevented the mills
tary operations nf Russia by any thing
short If war, and the Poles must IN the
long ran have been overpowercd without
n warlke Intervention in their favor.
We need hardly observe that diplomacy
Is always mnavniliug in matters Of conse-
quence. IL pouid not surprise ms fthe in
