LONDON, Sept. 90.
The capitulation of Warsaw, and its entry
by the Russian troops, is but too true. The SEN
| sation this intelligence has created in Paris is,
| as we anticipated, most intense, has already
given rise to tumulIs, and will, we apprehend,
give rise to many more. The Ministry too have
been defeated, on point which the Minister of
War seems to have considered of great moment;
and this defeat occurring at crisis of peculiar
excitement cannot fail materially to ntanger
their stability. But the Polish question absorbs
all others in the French capital. 1t is felt there
| as national calamity, and in some degree a
disgrace, and so indeed it is; for, had not the
| heroic Poles thrown themselves in the way, the
| army Of Nicholas would ere this have reached
| the banks of the Rhine. The Poles, therefore,
may be considered as having, to a certain extent,
| sacrificed themselves for the French.
| Letters received from st. Petersburg, of the
2lst of August, old style, state that dreadful
| storm from the south west ragged IN and near st.
Petersburg and part Of the town inundated;
but the warehouses, as well as the custom-house
escaped from being damaged. Many ships re-
| ceiyed damage. There were only eleven sick of
| the cholera-three recovered and three died.

have addressed to their sovereign a spirited re-

The Emperor Nicholas has issued two ukases
-one for new levy of troops, the other respec
ting the cholera. The levy is to consist of four
men out Of every five hundred inhabitants. the
ordinary proportion in such cases. The provin-
ces of wilma, Grodno and several others which
constitute what are more familiarly known as Lii
tijuana, Podoia and the Ukraine, are exempted.
These levies, the Messenger des Chambres OBJ

ror contrives to impose no lighttax Exemptions
are sold to the Lords by the government for sums
varylngtrom two thousand to four thousand francs

thirty or forty francs. II a lord happens to have
