LATEST FROM EUROPE.

Papess W ne SSu anu IsiverpoOI TO the
%4th August, both inclusive. The fol-
owing extracts are made from the
Courier and Journal Of Commerce.
The London Sun Of the evening IF
the 22d says 90 that tho Courier Fran
Gals mentions in q tone Of confidence
that the great powers have at length
decided ON recognizing the indepcn-
deace OF Poland" The Times OF the
esd. the latest London paper. is wholly
silent on the subject, from which we
infer that little or no credit was attach.
cd to the rumour.
The accounts from Poland are Of a
very mesgre kind. That heroic pso.
pie appear, however, 10 be. still san.
guiDe, and are resolved upon achieving
their independence, or diving uobly 10

The proclamation Of the Emperor
Nicholas is truly despotic and me-
nacing, and holds out no further hope
but that OF mere exemption from mas.
sacre. IL would seem a. if he intend
ed to destroy the very name and cxis-
tencc Of Poland.
Accounts from Warsaw, saws the
Herald, have been received up TO the
l2th August They state that the
Russian General, Field Marsha, Count
Paskswitch. kept the grand army at q
cautious distance from the Polish CAPT

feelings Of party spirit have given way
to patriotism.

The Colonel continued to maintain
himself 10 the government of Mohilew.
The number Of the armed insurgents
there. and in the vicinity Of Witepsk,
was estimated at 10000 men. Gen.
Tolstoi had broken up from wilma to
march against them. The report that
u part Of Gen. Rodgers corps had
crossed the Vistula had not been con.
frmed. Gen. Dembeski had been an
pointed Governor Of Warsaw, aud had
already begun to act in that character.
No change Of Importance had taken
place in the position Of the armies since
tie last accounts, but every thing
seems to portcnd an awful aud final
struggle. 1t seems to be the policy of
the present commander Of the Rus
SANS rather TO starve the capital into
surrender than to make bold push ut
its capture. He deals much more in
feints and military msnGuvres, to
make his enemy believe that he medi.
tates an attack in one place, whilst he,
in fact, attempts il in another, than
his predecessor; and this cautious DO
LEY has hitherto proved rather benefi.
eial to his object.
These tactics have NOT, however,
