We subioin sose extracts from letter from
o. P. Q. dated June 81:
"France will do something for Poland! You
may be sure Of this! The Sun is perfectly right
when it SAYS that Louis Philip is not made Tor the
age in which he lives. He is kindhearted, anna
bic, and even patriotic. Bat he has not a master
mind, nor the spirit { one who should direct and
not be guided BY public opinion. LOUIS Philip
loves liberty. but it is the liberty OF the resora-
tion-of good honest Bourgeois, who has been ac-
customed to live at Nenilly and the Palas Royal
IN ease and afiuence as the Duke Of Orleans, and
! who cannot understand why, now he Is King, he
cannot be quite as quiet as when nc was Duke
So Louis Philip is afraid of stirring for the Poles,
lest he should be denounced by the Kings and
Emperors Of Europe, as friend to revolutions
and vet, believe me, when tell you France
will do something for Poland! ! do not pretend
to have the gift of prophesying any more than that
| understand all mysteries, but will take upon
myself to sa, one thing, that if Poland should be
crushe,. by Russian armies, and Warsaw fall in
to the hands of Paskewitsch, the new Russian
General-in, Chief, Louis Philip would be driven
from the throne Of France, and a revolution would
then commence, which must lead to universal aud
ong protracted warfare. France will do some
thing for Poland.
"Tfhe French Minister has quarrelled with
Lafayette! This is unwise, and absurd. Lafayette
has published, letter to which recently lnvit-
ed your attention. The Minister has not contra
dicted the facts stated, nor has he confuted the
opinions .ropagated BY thus distinguished patriot
| But he has raked out an old letter from the Mo.
niteur, written at the close of the last century,
which he endeavors to torture into something op.
posed to the present principles and system of La
fayette. In this, however, he is most unfortunate.
The letter in question required that the Royal
authority should be respected; that the National
Guards should be honored; and that the Govern
ment of the then King Louis XVI. should be con.
stitu,ionally firm. And what is there in the re-
cent letter of Lafayette to the electors OF Meauy
which is opposed to thiss Nothing whatever
| He protests against tumnlt and anarchy, declares
his opinion, that even now il is possible, by re.
tracing our steps, to march with the July Reyo
luton, and expresses his hope that Louis Philip
will understand his position, and by proceeding
with the people insure their confidence and love.
Yet. because NJ. Lafayette has told the elector:
of Meaux that at present we are not marching in
the ways of July. the Casimir Perier Cabinet has
taken offence, aud the patriot of the two worlds
is held up most absurdly, as man i'll contrad!c
ton with himself
81 perceive that in England great deal o
alarm il felt OH the subject of the introduction o.
the cholera morbus For the spread Of this ma
lady we are indebted to Russia! The best mean;
of stopping it, is to terminate the war between
the'Czar and the Poles !-Russian has taken the
cholera to Poland, and Poland has introduced il
! to some portion of the frontiers of Prussia. Il
| the Polish war be not terminated, the cholera vii
spread all over Europe; and the only method Of
terminating the war, is that of requiring the Cour
Of St. Petersburgh to recognise the independence
of Poland. IF no other motives will stimulate
the Governments of France, Prussia, Great Bri
tain and Austria, to active exertions on behalf o.
the Poles let the just and reasonable fears of the
progress Of the Cholera Morbus excite these pow
ers to Intervention. The Governments of France
and England will be alone responsible for the
spread of the Cholera IN the west of Europe il
they do not put stop to the war of Russia on
Polish liberty. Think of this!'
