 he cause of Poland has at length ava kened the attention of the British ParIia- lheat, and called forth proceedings cor ,esPonding with the sympathes in her be- haif, winch are entertained not only by the u british people, but by the lovers of treedom and the friends of humanity throughout U the world. The debate on foish affairs Tn the House of Commons on the 2eth June, was introduced by motion made by Mr. c. Ferguson, "that an humble address be presented to his Ma Je$ly', praying that he would be pleased to ordef to be laid on the table copies of or the manifesto of the Emperor of Rus. sia' oi the 26th February last, and of the organic statute to which 1t refers. and also for copy or extract from the des- patch Of the British Ambassador at Peters nufgh, Communicating the same to his Majesty government. , Subsequently,. a cal was added for a copy of iite iaofisi, 1ahstitutlon,. as granted by alexander- ne motion was prefaced by a speech, in whlch the hon. member reviewed the whole history ot the wrongs and outrages by w4ticl the late Polish Revolution was preceded anu caused, and If the cruelties, perse- oasioi.s anu open breaches If faith. aud violations of treaties, which have follow ca the unhappy termination of the sfrug- gle. In tue course of his speech he de tailed some of the inhaman nunisbments and barbar rites, which have heen infiict- cd not only upon the brave soldiers who 'asied in defending their country and fire sldes against the ruthless Russians, but hpen helpless infancy, defcnceless women and grey f'eaded old men, who had mo- tnihg bui itheir prayers and sons to eGer to their cenniryas cause. The motion and address were received with greatsenthusi- asm in the House.
 =isois Stoteii seeeildeii t,i motion, and expressed his indignation at "the utter violation by Russia of treaties with the Earapaan#powers on thesnbiect of Poland. and more particularly of the Treaty of vienna Lord Palmerston, the For eign Secretary, acqnesced in the view taken ofthe Treaties. Lord Morpeth con- tended that case was made out for the energetic intervention of England and Europe.o Lord Burlington, the spirited leader of the Rcf~rmers during tho crisis which occurred on the late resignation of the Grey ministry, vehemently supported the motion, and demand cd what hope there was for the rest of Europe. if they were now "remiss in asse erting the eause of betrayed and insnfted Poland D. - Much, said the noble minded orator, as we deprecated any thing like an at tempt to plunge, by violent c0unsels, this country Tn war, he believed the best means, Tn thls instance, to avoid such result would be to demonstrate with bold ness and mptisRde- hear. If this country were to assert lhe cause of Poland and her wrongs, and to draw the sword Tn company with our free and liberal neiell- Dor. fharR aoul1 bol l,tl in | z ~ suit. MT. OConnell was also animated and enthusiastic in affirming the claims of Poland, and denouncing the tyranny of Russia. He called upon Europe to rise to check the ss barbarie irruption of Russia, and affirmed that no country had desc " ed so well of Europe, as Poland, and no country had been so badly treated.' .'
 Ihe motion was agreed to without divi- slon, and 1t is to be remarked that the only members who spoke donhtingly or eoldly on the appeal, were the Tory lead CTS, such as Sir Robert Ingiis and Sir Robert Peel ;--so true ii is the enemies of popular rights have a common feeling eve ry where. and that Toryism, whether Tn Russia or in England, is but modifi- cation of the same huge conspiracy which exists every where of the powerful few against the many, of the advocates of mis- governments which they call s:legitima- cy and good order," against the people. who are striving to righ, themselves, and govern themselves, and enjoy the fruits of their own labors.
 We hail this first public declaration of a reforming Parliament, in reference to foreign affairs, as a glorious indication of what is to be the policy of reformed Par liament, when the voice of liberal princi- al oI.an h.or T ! L presentatives of the people themse selves.- The spoilation and sufierings of Poland have been the shame and the punishmen of every man in Europe who entertains ib- eral opinions. and her restoration will be. as one of her British advocates calls it, the Great Act of Abolition of European slave ". The destruction of Polish indepen- dence was the sacrifice Of all European hope of freedom for the whie-it strength ened the position of the despotic powers 1 almost impregnably, and broke down the bulwark by which the liberal portion Q, Europe was ]" barricad ed against Chs. sack invasion, and the bordes of North

For years has all Europe suffered and IS suffering, in the oppres. sions and s-government which the des. truction of Poland gave arbitrary govern. ments security in inficting, and now when freedom is growing stronger, and lis ready 10 grapple wlth the oppressnrs Ithe re-estahlishment of Poland is the frsi l3nty as it is the safest policy ofthe nations
