above all, as the Provisional Government of BELGIUM
IS the Representative of the Belgans. They say and
tat with great truth, does the Emperor seek to esab-

Polandi There is none. Does he say the ReIpiane
were united to the Dutch against their will? So were
the foies parceled out to Russia. Does he saw
the Beigians drove away the Prince Frederick and

there no dstinion but one which is, that the EN-.

assist, with heart and soul, driving back the infu

Span and Portugal, hey ask, have we not millions
or trends to our cause and revolution! In fine
Tue young men and middle aged for fighting
at once the battle which must sooner or later be
fought, between the people on the one hand and alb
soiutsm on the other, and when either the principle
of popular sovereignty or of ssroval' soyereirntv
will prevail.
'rhe French Governments in an embarrassing posi-
tom The King loves liberty. I-afitte loves liberty.
SO do Barthe, and Baude, and Merhou, and Sebasti-
AMI They all love liberty; and it would be to fasfy
all the acts .: their life by deliberate falsehood did
we not ADMIT TINS assertion to be true. But then they
are out men-atter ALL they have passions and ambis
on and love of ease, and wish for repose like 9TH
eF men. " The throne IS young and newt may be
easily overturned or disturbed. Our revolution is ha-
ted and must be so by all the powers of Europe even
by large portion of influential in England Great
Britain wishes well, but will not nor cannot fight
Tor US; and although therefore, desire with all our
hearts, that the Poles may establish their indepen-
denCe, and although abhor as much as you can do
this manifesto Of III Emperor, yet W c hay adopted
the principle OF non-InerventIon, and in
teFtere This is the language which you hear every
hour from Sebastan, from Roger Coiiard from Huma-
on, and even from LATTE and the King But are the
people satisfied with this Ieply? No they not!
They say the Poles friends our allies, our for.
mer brethren in arms, and bound help them.
1t was our reyoutionswhich induced them to revolt,
and we must not SIT by and behold them massacred.-
The Poles at Paris encourage this feeling They
write and print and circulate addresses to tn French
nation The Journals the Of the Poles The
schools and colleges all with them. Public opinion
is on their side war for Poland would be most pop
uiar and millions would rush to aid them. What then
Will the French Government do? If it shall Ike war
the wealthy, the propreorS, the Royalsts those who
VIII have TO pay war taxes, will make cry and ex>
calrn so then France is to be Knight Errant for all
the RevolutIonss in Europe' and II it shall not ma
war, the Poles will be crushed, liberty will receive q
mortal stab and the French Revolution wiihave been
nearly made in vain.
"ln the midst of this delay and uncertainty sub
scription has been opened Paris for the Poles and
the people will send in their contributions"
private letter from Paris assigns as reason for the
very restricted extension of right of suffrage pro
posed in the projet of the new Electoral Law, thai
orally under the guidance of the Catholic Priests
and if tue elections committed them, it would
be equivalent to committing them to the hands o.
those Priests.
