more interest than usual, inasmuch as il brings
"A mr. r
taken place IN part of Europe where the sun
OF ffetdon seemed to have set forever. We
allude 10 the volt Of the Poles IN the Rus

stantlne. aud the establishment oil Ia prov i5ional
Government at Warsaw.
though IN n more distant quarter of Europe,
we confess that we look 10 this revolution With
more satisfaction than to that which has receni-
ly occurred in France oI lgiim. Poland AS
been oppressed by the unreleniing hand oil des-
p"tlsm for many years. II had not the leas,
shadow OF tee institutions. but was under the
sway Of pure and untDlxed despoii3n--a des-
potlsn not contented wnh mere civil tram,
bat 6eseiiing the paths oil domestic lie aud
pollutng even the privacy OF the chamber with
d degrading system vi espionage.
- The expressions which tae Russians pra c,i.
sed 10 Poland can scarcely be believed. M
man in any station OF life was permitted TO mar
~ or dispose Of his Inheritance without u Ii.
cense from the Government Most persons
Possessed Ofnny influence were compe lied to llv.
in solitude upon their own estates, and not per
milled to pass even the irontlers oil one CO
TO another without n passport obtained by the
most degrading specifications. Thus, whilst
the Russ.nns were travelling in every quarter ol
Europe, Pol sh traveller was scarcely SO much
as seen. Poland was imp isoned, as It were
within her ow" frontiers, and KEEP, for the
gloomy pleasure OF Russia, who exhausted
every species Of tyranny aud exa,tiJm upon The
people.
Every mind of common feeling must re
ioice NJ the attempt made by such people be
the EVENT what il may, to regain their freedom.
Whatever sympathy may be excited Tor Franc,
aud Belg ium, It must be recollectcd that tn /,

for the infamous spoiaton Of Poland forty

will stand by an impartial spectator, though IN
such case it will be Impossible 10 be an iudif f.
