FOREIGN lNTELLIGENCE.
The London morning papers of March %, were
reserved by the ship United States, the arrival OF
which was mentioned yesterday The Permanent
was not dissolved the night of the 23d, pre-
ticted by the Gobe but from the tenor of article
In the London Morning Chronicle of the cath, that
event very probably took place within day or two
after our latest date There is other item OF po-
ht!cai Intelligence of any moment. The general im-
preston seems to be, that the Ministers will consent
to no modification ofther project whatever-but that
appealing 10 tho people for new Parliament, it will
be carried by the next House Of Commons, and
Jccted by the Lords. We are to see what will follow.
POLAND.
The following important and affecting address to
the PoiIsh Nation has been published by the Govern
ment of Poland:
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF POLAND
"Codntrymen-Alreadyt the combat for our eXis-
tence, for liberty, and for our independence has
begun; it is perhaps the last Our first Fixed purpose
Is gioriouslJ to conquer to die; and have sworn,
that If it should please Providence to permit us to be
snbdued like the Jews after the destruction of Je-
| rusalern, We will never cease to be Poles We will
swear now that will hide our nationality deep in
our hearts from the eyes of OUR cnemies-but that
never will a member OF our great but unfortunate
nation unite himself with enemies, either by
blood or by ffendship-that shall want or con-
tempt bring US latest descendants deny Po-
land-but that we will Look upon another bro
theirs, help one another, in to-and ID the midst of
Y,
of the past and present, and preserve the moral pre-
sence forever, and rather dispense the face of
the earth than languish in slavery. May those Pow
ers who are favourable to least obtain this much
that after our fall we may be permitted to leave
the sacred land Of fathers with our possessions
| and goods.
| The Diet shall prescribe the form of our oath
rhe Delt shall take with it the Polish people, and
shall order II to be read from the pulpit. The Min.
lister of Foreign Afuirs shall address notes to Eng
land, and France, exhortng those Powers, that, in
the event of deent. the remains of our nation as
well as the prisoners shall be at liberty, and per-
mted to leave our fetherland, profaned by the enc
my, soaked by the blood Of The Polos, and strewea
with their bones-hot we may sell without hind
rance our possessions and goods and carry with us
what we can axe away. Those Powers will no. re-
pulse the prayers Of people who for ten centuries
have guarded Europe on the East and in the North;
and the conQucror will rejoice TO be rid of genera
ton that must ever hate him. If he possesses the
magnanimity which he processes to the world he will
willingly do deed contributing alike 10 his plory
and to his nterest.-Those arnonpbt us whom, Pro-
vdence shall permit to survive, who shall be wan
dcd and in prison, will, with our eyes full of tears
and with bleeding hearts, leave the land of OUR fe-
TIERS with tho priests of Holy Faith and repair
to those distant regions of Asia, Africa and Ameri-
ca, which the providence of God and hospitality
shall point out-thankfnl 10 the giver of an asylum
where our nationality may still be permitted to sur
yive.'

LONDON, March 24.-The all engrossing sub
Ject ofconversaIlon yesterday The division on The
Reform Bill. The prevailing opinion was that
great victory had been gained; because n,hoo the
majority was small. as that majority could be
increased by dissolution, the success of the
measure became demonstraby certain.
