Phenix gazette. [volume] (Alexandria [D.C.]) 1825-1833, 1831-08-27


The German and Dutch papers contain Tie
Russian account Of the defeat OF General uie'suu
by Rudiger. which is, Of course, greatly exasge'
rated. The Poles do not deny that their troops
have met with reverses near Lubln, Oht u Is
certain that the enemy has not yet been aU'e 10

ly much distracted by the discovery oil the a'ro'
cious conspiracy at Warsaw, which threatehe"'
if not detected such fatal mischief to the Patr'o'
cause. 1t seems, however, to have been arrest
ed in very seasonable time. We learn from our
private correspondent, that the Russian PRISONERS
in Warsaw were to be made the Chief instruments
in bringing about the counter.reVolutIon' lhei'
number is stated at Is. 600. From Berlin II Is
said that the Russians were withdrawing from the
Government of Plosk, with the probable inten'''n
of approaching nearer to Warsaw. Their main
army had reached, by the last accounts, to "'th'u
twelve miles of the capital, SO that general bat
tie seems to be inevitable.
DEATH Of GRAND DUKE CONSTANTINE
1t appears that the Grand Duke Constantine
(late Vice King of Poland; is dead. The fol-
lowing is the only paragraph which we have yet
seen upon the subject. We infer that he DIED Of
Cholera. The suggestion Of self-murder is hard.
~ probable: :,
Letters from Hamburg attribute the death OF
the Grand Duke Constantine to the cord rather
than the cholera. 1t is remarkable that TWO oil
the prime prosecutors of the Poles should De thus
prematurelv cut of. In these times OF philuso-
phy and ufdelity, it would be considered super
sitious even to hint at the agency OF rerIoutlVe
providence. =,
Some of the Hamburger letters represent the
Russian army as in state OF decentralization.
They compare It to that of Napoleon, alter the
burning of Moscow. II is said, in short, to be
totally devoid of any thing like organization. II
this news be true. the Berlin papers are doing
more for the Russians than the Russians are do
ing for themselves.
FRANCE.
The elections are still going on throughout
France, but it is impossible to calculate with any
certainty, as yet, as to the probable result upon
the future destinies of the ministry. From the
subdued, if not suppliant tone Of the latter, how
ever, 1t is pretty clear that they look upon the
state of the odds as against them; and the chan
ces are, that France will in future be cleansed of
the stain which has attached to its foreign policy
for some time past. The poor Dutchess Of Rerri.
with her child her five franc pieces, and the two
or three queer looking persons who compose her
suite. continues to be unsuccessful IN attracting
the least serious notice from the capital. Look
INC through these papers, we are still unable to
say whether the object of her journey is TO set
the Loire on FIRE, or to astonish the quiet folk on
the Rhine by some new celebrations Of the Rus
sian gallopade We should not be surprised,
however, to find that she intends something seri-
ous after all; but it would be as ill.natured as
unnecessary to prophecy the certain results.
The foregoing paragraph is copied from the
Liverpool Albion of the l1th. Since it was in
typo we have received the following:-
From the French papers, by express. we have al
ready made such extracts as served to show the
state of public opinion in Paris, and the feelings
of the Government upon the conclusion of the
elections for the new Chamber of Deputies. The
result seems to have influenced the one favorably
and acted upon tie other agreeably, for the Funds
had experienced rise, and the friends OF the Mi
njstry had assumed tone 0!. confidence to which
they have been unused for some time past.
Their advantage in the late returns is uncon.
tested, but they are said TO have paid for 1t the
price nf considerable concessions in foreign as
well as domestic policy, and the duration of the
present state of good humor between them and
the body of electors will depend mainly upon the
good faith with which the conditions are to be OBJ
served.
The "glorious days. are likely to pass over
rather quietly; forby The good tact of the govern
ment in taking the ceremonies into its own hands;
it will be, most likely, able to give harmless d.
recton to impulses which it could not hope to OPP
pose OF control.

Jiesna, June 2S.-The Austrian Government
is making new levy 10000 men, which will
make its effective force nearly 100000. Those
who know the Empcror's moderation, will not at
tribute this to personal ambition. At the Con-
cress of Vienna he offered to restore Gallicia
without indemnity, on condition that the other
powers would consent TO the entire independence
Of Poland.
