Prince Talleyrand has been authoriz-
ed to state to his Government that the
British Cabinet have refused to enter
tain the proposal to place the crown oi
Belgium on the head of Prince Leopold,
and have left the affair entirely to the
discretion of his Royal lllghncss.
The London Courier Of nth May
SAYS we have Paris papers of 9th inst.
Their contents are not of Importance.
Our private letters state, that the an
swers given by the Austrian Cabinet Oh
the subject OF the assemblage OF Aus
trian troops, although on the whole
satisfactory, are not conclusive. No
doubt, however, is entertained but that
the most satisfactory explanation will be
given.
A conference of the Ministers Of the
Great Powers was held OH the affairs OF
Belgium, says the Courier Of | ith of
MAY, yesterday afternoon, at the
Foreign Office. 1t was attended by the
French, Austrian, and Russian Ambas-
sailors, the Prusslan, Austrian, and
Russian Ministers, and \iscount Pal
merston. The conference lasted two or
three hours.
PO l. A N ID.
The accounts from Poland are CON
Trajectory. Paris papers Of the eth of
May contain Warsaw dates to the Goth
April, and state that Gen. Dwcrnicki
had completely beaten the Russians,
commanded by Gen. Rudiger near
Loutsk that he had taken ~ pieces of
cannon, and many prisoners, among
whom was Gen. Rudigcr himself, From
Vienna the same dates contain news of
a totally opposite mountaineering
to this account Gen. Dwernicki was
beaten near Doubno, forced to cross
the Styr and intrench himself on the left
bank OF the rtvcr, &c. &c. The news
from Vienna and that from Warsaw
caunot relate to the same ailalrs-cven
admitting that there is truth in each OF
those accounts: the region Of Nolhynia
(Loutsk and Doubno,) where DIVER
nicki is, is only 10 or 80 leagues from
W arSaw whilst the distance from Vienna
is lGO leagues. We deem it altogether
unnecessary TO give the details OF these
and other rumors and the more so, as
we find in the London Morning Chron-
Gle of lth May, the following para
graph--thc dates from Warsaw therein
referred to, are the 23th April, beng
two days later than that which give
the account 5 above.
Various gloomy reports were conf
IDENTITY circulated yesterday respecting
Poland, 1t was, III particular, stated
that deputation from Warsaw had
waited on Dicbilsch with the offer of
surrenderlng, IN consequence Of the
disease and famine prevailing i'll that
capital, but that the General refused the
terms. On the other hand, we know
that accounts from Warsaw down to
the 23th, have been received III Il high
quarter here, which give very differ
ent version of the state Of affairs. The
Russians are not, it is SAID, near War
saw, nor is there the least chance of
their being near that city for long
time"
The Polish Gcneralissimo addressed,
on the 25lh April, the following procla-
matlon:-
"Soldiers!-The Polish nation trcm-
bled under weight of arbitrary power
and oppression. a part Of that nation,
the inhabitants of the kingdom called
Poland, reduced TO despair, have de-
mandcd the exercise OF their ancient
rights. The usurper Of our country has
qualified that demand by the name oI
rebellion, and has brought up numcrou:
batta!ions in order to again subJugate
Us. AT the period of our insurrectlor
our army did not amount to more thar
10000 men able to bear arms. The sus
picious distrust Of the Sovereign has ncv'
er allowed the establishment IN our coun-
try Of either cannon-loundrlcs or powder
mills, or any thing of the kind. Patrl'
otsm has done every thing.
"We have now more numerous troops
provided with arms partly taken from the
enemy, or manufactured IN establish
ments formed in haste. When III tn,
midst of winter the enemy came to at
tack our dwellings,, we entered the hcl'
with very unequal forces; in short time
we sustained some very bloody combats
none Of which have been without thcl
merits and many have been most glorl
Gus victories. After the sangulnar,
battles which characterized the com
mencement of the war, your coniidenc'
and th,t of The nation have called me [,
