From the Messenger deS ChambreS otMonuay'l
General Diebitsch has invaded Poland by
a grand strategic movement. of which the aim
and combination are as follow The body Of
the Russian army enters at four points. Au-
gustowa, Bralystock, DrOhicjun, and Brecx-
T,itewski, on base Of from sixty to eighty
leagues. Two of these four divisions march
towards Warsaw, to besiege 1t on the two
sides ofthe Vistula. A third division appears
destined for the siege of Modlin. and the
fourth to keep the country to protect these
two seges. AS to the forces Of all the Polish
army,it appears that they have fallen back
on Wasaw and ModIin, hut il is probable that
they will await the enemy in one of the posi-.
lions which cover the approaches Of these
places, and that the Russians will not be able
to pass on without a battle. The Russians
must have fifth body TO maintain the COM
munications of the army with its dcpots and
magazines Of Lithuania and that will require
a sixth to occupy the provinces of Sandomir
aud Lubn, as well as to blockade the fortress
of Zamose.
WarsdtV, Feb. IA great battle is expect
ed on the 12th at fathest. Warsaw will soon
be declared in state Of seige; the cannon are
already placed 90 the ranparts. 1t is not be-
lleved that Count Diebitsch would enter now,
because. if the first attack does moi succeed,
he incurs great danger. II the thaw sets in,
the ice will disappear, the rivers win over
| Aow, and The low grounds in which he acts
! will become complete morass. His army
advancing against US amount to 100, 900 men.
At present we have to oppose him only ST.
900 men in the field, and the patriotism Of
our people. The II new regiments of infant
ry are not yet organized. The organization
of the cavalry is more advanced. and it will be
complete and ready to take the field in fort
night.
"The Quotidienne announces that at o.
clock yesterday afternoon, that Journal was
seized; and adds that whatever may be the
motives for such severe proceeding, and the
difficulty Of existing circumstances, it is deter
( mined, without defying danger or dreading it,

France was also seized.
| London, Feb. Getty half past o'clock.
The debates in Parliament are looked up
ON as warlike; but the chief cause Of alarm
among our money jobbers is the state of Pa
ris, the Republican spirit, and the crisis being
SO great as to bring the Chamber to business
ON Sunday. There are also rumors that the
National Guards would go in body, to re.
quest that the Duke Of Neunors should be
declared King of Belgium.
The latest accounts from Paris were obtain
ed this afternoon by an express which left that
capital on Sunday night. 1t was there stated
that NJ. Cassimer Perriere would be added
! to the French Cabinet, and that they would
gain much Strength by it.
A letter dated Guayaqul states, that ~
houses. were destroyed by fire at that place,
in December last. The loss is estimated, in
goods and houses, at two millions, in which
some ofthe English and American houses had
participated much.

We copy from the Constitutional of the fol-
lowing day.
A considerable crowd went yesterday to

sistance Of the National Guard of Charenton
and the National Guard of Berey, the project
OF burning the house, which appeared to have
been formed. was not executed, but his fur
nture and pictures were destroyed. The
plate and linen were saved by the efforts of M.
Michel. Jr.
Towards o'clock crowds formed before
the church Sainte Marguerite, and the mob
loudly demanded that it should be pulled
down. aud that stone. which had at its an
giles fleurs. de-lis, should be broken to pieces.
M. Jacquemn. Commissary of Police of
the faubourg st. Antoine, gave orders to this
effect. and the cross and the stone soon disap-
peared. A few minutes afterwards, informa-
ton came. that the Seminary of Picpus had
been attacked, and delivered up to pillage
the same cummissary Of police went there i'm
nedIately with large detachment ofthe Ma
tlonai Guard. and succeeded in clearing it of
the mob. and in conducting to the Prefecture
several individuals, upon whom were found
stolen articles.
