sh Government at Warsaw. the Chief OIL the Ma
ton in its late expiring effort, AMI here now he
sat presiding over the little remnant OF his coun-
trymen. who had escaped from the ruins OF ITS
fall. 1, is impossible to conceive OF head, OF an
expression, and of person more consruous to the
situation which he occupied this evening than was
possessed by this disinterested and noble Pole;
lofty forehead, sunk contemplative eye, an aqui.
linenose, mout., that seemingly could never
smile, are the features of cOuntendnce IN which
never have before SO perfect an expression of
noble sadness. sadness in which weakness had
no part, sadness induced by deep feeling OF
his country's wrongs, of his country's wretch
edness; yet preserved from weakness by the sns-
tanning influence of CONSCIOUS integrity, the in
trinsic business Of his cOuntry's cause. Gen.
Lafayette addressed the assembled committees.
DR.. Howe succeeded him, delivering the stand.
ards from Boston TO the Polish Committee, and
reading some extracts from addresses, indicating
the svmpathies of the people OF the United States
for Poland. Then rose the distinguished Lelew-
ell, the Principal of the University of Warsaw,
the man to whom the Poles ascribe the honor OF
being the chief director Of the Revolution, on
whose head a price vas set, and who. after the
fall of Warsaw, escaped almost miraculously
from the tolls spread to entrap him; he delivered
an address full u feeling. during which he pre-
scented to Gyn. Lafayette acockade made from
the decorations Of the first standard taken from
the Russians IN the late contest To NJ. Le'ew-
ell, succeeded Mons. lie MERCER, the poet, who
delivered short poem, which was greatly ap-
piauded; after which the meeting was dissolved.
1t has been enormously stated in some of the
French papers, and the error may have found its
way to America, that the committees gave on
this occasion to the Poles. public dinner; to say
nothing of the bad taste of proposing feslivlty to
m, n in their circumstances, which would be like
showing our sympathies with recently eereaved
rphans by inviting them to dance, we could
not with any propriety IN our character as Chart
able committees, dispense any part of that cha.
rity for such purpose. As Americans and
Frenchmen, we might under other circumstances
and with other means have given them dinner;
but TIE occasion was altogether too SAT- for anv
such measure; the conduct of the evening was as

citing, but at the same time melancholy interest.
Among the members of the French committee
were several celebrated men, with whose names
