This was my day at the sixth Chamber OF tie
Police Correctionneiie; and We; alter TINS, some
good, honest, thick headed blocks OF the Juste-n'i
lieu commercial school. would fam persuade me
that Casimlr Perer understands and appreciates
the Revolution Of July.
From such painful and sad reflections as this
subject cannot fail to excie,' let US turn with sa-
tisfactiun to the intelligence of Instructions IN
Hungary! | say with satisfaction not because
there have been local and general movements IN
Hungary, excited iu the substance by the cor
dons Saniiaires established by the Austrian Gov

bde-but because these insurrectlons will, III all
probability serve mnst materially the cause OF Po-
land Whilst British House of Commons re-
celved with cold indifference the proposition OF
Col Evans, aud rejected it-and whilst French
Chamber of Deputies discussed tor some hours

France and England are so active, the con',tats

would call observation-disclosures petltioned The Empc-
ror Of Austria in favor of the Poles, and are now
ac tually in ii state Of instruction, III order to
add weight aud Importance to their mani!estoes
Let such examples encourage the patriotic, ana
nut to shame those sham lovers OF liberty ~
France and England. who pirate by the hour about
an Election or Reform Gill, but will not extend
the hand of assistance, or even east look OF al
lection and sympathy on people dying Tor Tree
dom and civilization.
There is also Il revolution at Basic. Ii is more
serious than it was at first Imagined, and, there
fore. refer TO it. This insurreCtiOn at Basic IS
the fault of the Government and not Of the peo-
pie. At the last insurreCtlbn promises were
made which have not been performed, and hopes
excite, which have not been realized. The IN
habitants of the country do not enjoy the same
political or civic prlveliges thoae of the town.
This creates dissatisfaction and distrust, and this
has led to instruction and dihluibanCes. | am
no friend TO Instructions for trlfies, nor to Insur
rectiops where the object can be attained by less
violent means, and by Parliamentary measures.
For nstance.l would rather Radical Reform ot
the House of Commas should be carried IN Eng
land by the Three Powers of the State, than by
the public meetings and resistance to civil or
national authority. But il it cannot be carried
one way, it must another-and this is just now
the case at Basic.
The news from Poland is encouraging, though
not decisive. | have been much pleased with the
simplicity and devotion of the new National Pray
er. and cannot avoid transaing it, On, thou
God OF opr fathers! the terrible and decisive mo-
ment approaches! Cover us with thy bucklcr--

whom thon lowest, and accomplish tie great work
which thy powerful hand hath enabled us to com
mcnce.' A letter from Warsaw, of recent
date, which is now before me, contains the follow
ing scntence:-'' do not despair OF success
Our enemies are numerous. but they are demon
allied by thh death of DleUlsCh and OF Constan-
tine. b. the cholera mcrbus, by their repeated de-
teats. and BY the difficulties which oppose them
selves to their progress" The fall of Warsaw
would not terminate the conflict; and the nom
success of this Russian campaign would create
great dissatisfaction at ST. Petersburgh. But for
the and gwen by Prussia to Russia, SchryneCki
has himself assured US that the Russians have b.
tore this retired. But it appears that the Repre-.
seutatiyes of the British and French Governments
have not been wholly unavaiIing in this respect,
for which we are grateful. The army is in the
best possible state of patriotic feeling, and has
gune forth determined to conquer or die. The
carnage will be hideous if Paskewitsch will ac
cept battle.
Thhe Lithuanian Revolution is not terminated.
We have just received this cheering intelligence
from the Polish Government. For the moment
the 90, 90 Russian troops have succeeded-out it
is only for the moment and unless the Russian
Government shall be able to maintain lion Of
soldiers constantly foot i'll time OF peace, :. to
say nothing of war" it cannot hope to succeed
in maintaining order, and, much less, it cannot
expect TO render quiet and satisfied three millions
of human beings, who Will no longer consent to

and formidable kingdom of Poland. | am de-
