We have no news from Paris to-day The ouo.
tioH OF peace or war mainly depends upon the fate
OF the election to the Presidency of Nj. Laftte or
the nominee of the Minister. One thing is howe
yer, clear, that if France do not qo to war Mt
present to support the Poles, she will be compelled
IN short time to resort to it in vndication of her
own institutions, which can never be deemed SAT-,

The declaration by Prussia, made, as it i, un
derstood, IN answer to the Inconsistencies of tho
French Minister against the partially to Rnssa
manifested by the Prussian Authorities,-that in
the contest between Russia and Poland she w,.
not neutral but only indctire, and that she claim
ed the right to aid Russia any way but by taking
up arms herself, must have an effect upon tho
policy both of England and France. Those ma
Ions cannot permit SO palpable violation ofthe
doctrine OF nonntervcntion. But we much
fear that now, If they do resolve to interpos,
1t will be two late. TIE storm had at the last
dates, gathered in all its blackness and terrors a.
round Warsaw, and about to burst in desolution
upon its devoted sons.
"Ihe troops of the Autocrat," says the London
Courier of 29th July, '.are before Warsaw,
with heavy train ofartillery the disastrous effects
OF which the Poles WILL fear, be unable to resist
lhe defeat of the brave defenders of that capital
may BIO as signal and murderous as that mem
orable day, when nearly sixty thousand bodies per.
lshed by the swords of their enemies, and in the
names which those rcmorseless barbarians had
lighted up; and the resistance in 1881 NAV prove
equally Intellectual as it in 1875. Gracious
uod! What have we been doing for the last six
months, during which might have prevented
this dlsgraceful stain upon humanity-this fagrant
outrage upon the rights of civilized men7 What
load OF sin have we not brought upon ourselxes
by such an un-English, unmanly apathy. In
!
Tor guilt and odium there are-will fall upon the
Government alone, for in Franco subscriptions
have been raised in favor of the Poles, and ami
mated appeals have been made by the French 10
other nations. But what have we done? Not a
musket have we sent to the gallant Patriots-not u
medicine has English money purchased for tho
cure OF the dreadful scourge with which they have
peen aflilcted-not wound has been dressed with
lint furnished through English sympathy. Oh! Chill
dren OF freedom, blush for your conduct here You
sent money, arms, and medicines to the Greeks
TO race OF men more barbarnJs than those by
whom they Were oppressed-You have left tho
roles 10 combat and 20 perish, with other marks
OF sympathy than empty explanations of delight
at their patriotic BURST and unavailing arguments
III favor of the principles of right and freedom
which they have advocated.
The fight of frcedom-our fight for in proper
ton as true liberty prevails abroad our own is Sc
cured at home)--has been fought by the Poles We
have looked on, children view mimic sights
through glass. We have occasionally exhibited
symptoms of delight when the cause of Justice an
PeaTed to prevail, but unlike them, we have not
paid Tor the pleasure of the sight. The Russians
are now before Warsaw. In a few dcvs beap of
ashes may mark the site of that devoted city, and
the bones OF thousands distng uishcd in life by their
bravery and devotion to tho sacred cause, may bo
bieached in the SUM- Onus, and posterity,
be the shame"

tanned by many person, the anniversary of the
French revolution of three days passed eff without
any popular connection. The review which took
place on tho third day is said to havo been ono Of
the grandost scenes Of military display ever yyitnea-

arms at the same time, attended bv a trim Of
200 pieces of artillery.
There are rumors of the defeat Of tho Russians
by the Poles with the loss OF fourteen thousand
men, IN pitched battle; Of Il new Instruction in
