I personal advantages. Almost all the land own
ers who went from the Grand Duchy of Posen to
the insurgents, have returned home at the first
summons.
Meantime, while the storm is thus gathering,
the Dictator, unwilling to do any thing which
would compromise the chance OF an amicabie ar
rangement with the Emperor of Russia, aud lind
ing that the Diet was in this respect opposed to
him, has resigned his trust. The account OF the
Dctator's resignation is thus given from Warsaw

Early in the morning of the 10th inst. the
Dictator invited deputaton of the Diet to a
conference. and declared to them that he could
not take upon himself the command of the army,
but that, on the contrary, he deemed it necessary
to enter into negotiations, and that he was there
fore disposed to resign the Dictatorship At the
same time he presented letter from the Empe-
ror, thanking him for the temporary administra-
ton of affairs and warning him not to reject the
offers already made to the Council of Admins
tration. similar letter from Prince Lubecki
was also produced. On the following morning
the Depuation again assembled, and sent the
Dictator a written request to take upon himself
the command of the army, with an unlimited dis
cretonary power; while the Government of the
country should be placed in the hands; of Com
mission appointed by the Diet. AT the same
time, the members of the Deputation made strict
inquiries as to what the feelings of the officers of
the army would be in case of another chief being
appointed to command them.

6dence of the troops in the representatives of the
nation was unlimited, and that if they were put

The Diet met Yesterday. The two Chambers
held a conference, in the course of which the
President Of the Senate, and the Marshall of the
Diet. addressed the assembly at considerable
length. Both counselled their cOuntrymen not
to make their fate dependent on single individ-
ual, and assured them, that the spirit by which
all classes were animated was such that it left
no doubt as to their ultimate victory over their
powerful enemy"
FROM BELGIUM.
Preceding the debate in the French Chambers
before referred to, we have inserted sketch of
the proceedings of the Belgic Congress of Janua-
~ Esd. When the letter of Gen. Sebastiani,
which was in fact the cause of the French debate,
was received by the Belgian Government:-The
effect Of such communication upon an assem-
bly, 80 Jealous of its rights and so inhammable,
may be easily imagined. The Members uprose,
aud 70 a man protested against it, as at once an
insult to their national independence, and base
recreancy in the French government from the
principles of " non-intervention." which ii had
over aud over again prolessed. +" The next step"
said an indignant Member, ?" to refusal to &C
knowledge the duke of Leuchtenberg, the man
of our choice, will be an attempt to cram the
Prince of Orange down our threats, whom we
detest."
