phia, from Liverpool, brought London pa
pers to the 2lst September, and Liverpool
of the 22d. The advices from Warsaw are
to the evening OF the 9Th, and confirm the
news of tue taking Of that capital 10y the
Russians.
The fall of Warsaw, and the consequent
destruction of all hope for the cause of Po-
land, will probably create a flame through
out all Europe. The intelligence of these
disasters has already caused immense en-
element in Paris; andthe ministry, through
whose dlaiory OF hypocritical measures no
interference on the part OF France IN the
affairs of Poland has been suffered to take
place, will doubtless be degraded If not sac
rficed, by the exasperated people. The
items copied below, will chow the state OF
popular feeling in the French capital, at the
last dates. So great is the excitement and
the panic, that the public funds have fallen
2 to 3 per cent.
On the evening of the 10Th, motion for
the third reading of the Reform Bill in the
British House of Commons, having been
suddenly put by the speaker, was carried,

POLAND.
Warsase. Sept. 8. Poland is again sub
iect to its lawful sovereign. On the 5th
inst, Field Marshal Count Paskewitsch
sent confidential officer to Warsaw, to de-
mand in the name Of his majesty the sub
mission of the city, and 10 promise on the
other hsnd, amnesty and pardon. With an
infatuation which cannot he sufficiently de-
plored, these words of peace were rejected
by the leaders of the instruction. On the
9th, at day -break, the Russian army ad-
vanced to storm the city. After most DIES
perate and sanguinary resistance, our brave
soldiers with rare intrePidity. made them
selves masters of four redoubts which lay
upon our line of attack, as we'll as the hrsl

saw itself, and of which Wolna is perfect
fortress. The task, however, was not end.
ed with this there remained second line
of intrenchmehts, and broad moat round
the city, defended by bastions.
At four o'clock in the morning of the 9Th
the Field-Marshal was preparing to over
come these last obstacles, when Gen. Kru-
dowieeki sent Gen. PIondzyski to him tt
announce the intention of the Polish natior
to submit to lis legitimate king. These
sentiments were, however, not confirmed BY
that Chief of the Government, who soon af
ter came in person to the Marshal. He
affirmed that the consent of the Diet wa,
necessary for such submission. A!ter thu
most urgent celebrations and representa-
tions of the inutlity offurther defence, ane
the disasters, which it would inevitably
bring with it, the General withdrew at II
o'clock in the forenoon. Hereupon, three
hours more were granted to Gen. Kruko
wiecki, within which time he was to an
nounce to the Marshal his final resolution
As this was not given by one O'clock, the
Marshal sent word that he should give or
ders to attack. Half an hour more WAS re
quested for consideration, but this alst
elapsed without satisfactory answer being
given, the Marshal issued orders for the at
tack. 1t was terrible, and very successful
flags of truce were sent, but they brough
but dlatory answers. The attack was
therefore, begun upon the second line o
intrenchments, which was carried at pon
of bayonet. The enemy, who in the mean
time received reinforcements, vigorously
defended the gardens and the edges of tn,
bitches towards the Jerusalem barrier, ant
even made our troops give way for n mo
ment; but the ardor of the latter revived
they quickly scaled the walls of the city
which presented most formidable line 0
defence. The prodigies of valor which ma,
already distinguished the two days were
renewed, and at 9 o'clock in the eveBn:
the intrenchments, the gardens, bitches
walls-every thing, in short, was in thu
hands Of our brave troops. Meantime nigh
had set in, and the army needed repose.
The lines of intrenchments carried by
storm, G000 prisoners and nearly one hun
dred pieces OF cannon, were the trophies o
these two memorable days.
Nothing could now save the city and tht
enemy's army. Both, therefore, inploret
the clemency Of the Emperor, and this cir
cumstance made it the Marshal's duty t.
restrain the vengeance of the soldiers
which was excited to the utmost by sucl
an obstinate resistance. To-day our troops
are ir Warsaw. The Polish army ant
the nation have submitted to their monarch
the former, in conformity with the Emperor
manifesto, is gone to Plozk, there to avail
bis orders. The glorious success we hav,
obtained has been purchased by severe
losses. The Field Marshal himself has re
ceived confusion on the left arm and thu
breast.
The French papers contain an abstrac

London, Sept. 20. The Poles are con
fessed by their enemies to have behaved
with Polish spirit; and the Russian soldiers
without reference to their detestable cause
appear to have conducted themselves witt
praiseworlhy bravery. The loss Of the lat
ter is estimated in the Prussan accounts a
1000 or 5000 men; but it must be consider
ably more; and when 80 much is admitted
it is not unreasonable to set it down a
double, at least, or 10000 men. Even al
such a price, Paskewltsch may think the
capital, with al! the advantages of resting
place for his troops for the winter, cheaply
purchased.

toned as having been appointed to the sit
uation of Governor of Warsaw. The terms
which the bessged obtained were-securi-
ty for persons and property, and from these
conditions the army is not excluded.
We have more than once stated that the
reduction Of Poland would in all probability
be the end eli the reign of Louis Philip
and we are much mistaken if the aspect OF
affairs at Paris do not nov lead to change
of Government. Tho French are greatly
incensed that the Poles, who by their rising
enabled them to give consistency to their
