The most important intelligence
brought by these arrivals relates TO the
cause Of Poland, which is represented

the population Of Warsaw in q state

necki dismissed, the capital in q state
Of anarchy and without resources, and
the Russian army approaching. The
articles which contain these Accounts
are from the Prussian State Gazette,
and will be found among our sclec.

further remarks:
The approach Of the Russian armies
to Warsaw, and the consequent inter.
ruption Of all communities ton between
the rest of Europe and that city, allow
room for these fabribations which the
Prussian Government has shown itself
too apt to encourage. The lie (if il
be one) may last q fortnight, or till a
decisive battle takes place; and in the
mean time the friends Of Poland are
kept in suspense, or are prevented
from acting with the requisite energy.
We shall not. however, disguise our
conviction, that if the accounts which
We yesterday published should turn
out to be correct, the cause of Poland
is lost, and that, for a season, streams
Of noble blood have flowed in vain. -
The promotion Of the two Generals
above mentioned to the head of the
Government and army, would be both
the evidence Of deadly schism in the
state, and the immediate precursor of
Polish subjugation. All those who
have hitherto defended the good cause
With their swords, or supported it with
their counsels, would refuse to range
themselves under men whom they
deem unworthy their confidence, and
who would betray them into the hands
OF their enemies . civil contest would
thus arise with foreign foe at the
gate.
There are reports mentioned in the
French papers Of negotiations in pro.
gress between the Emperor Nicholas
and the Polish authorities; but they
do not seem to be generally believed.
The Diet OF Switzerland is again
disturbed. "At Basle" says an Eng.
