PARIS, Nov. A.
Within these few days there have ar
rived here many of the Poles most dis
tinguished in tho late struggle for liberty.
Among others are MN. Niemojuiski, late
Vice-Governor Morawski, late Minister
for Foreign Affairs; and the Professor
Lelewel. In order to watch over the in
terests of Poland, and those Of their
brethren in exile, the Poles at present in
Paris propose establishing here per-
manent National Committee, of which
Nj. Lelewel will in all probability be the
President. Under the direction of that
Committee it is proposed that the Polish
soldiers, as they reach France, shall be
regimented /; and to comply with the pro-
visions of the recruitment law of France,
which directs that none but French
man shall be French soldier, it is pro-
posed that motion be made in the Cham
Der for naturalizing all the Poles who
shall reach France. This sweeping
proposition may, perhaps, be opposed by
Government, on the ground of its ten-
dency to displease the other powers of
Europe but there is a precedent for it
namely, that Of the late Regiment of
Hohenloe, every man of which was de-
clared French citizen, some 13 or Id
months ago, for the admirable conduct
displayed by them on the receipt of the
news of the rising in Paris.
The Government may or may not do
its duty by the Polish refugees, but the
Polish Committee, organised here many
months since, under the Presidency OF
Gen. La Fayette, will persevere in its
lexertions on behalf of Poland and her
brave defenders. Already has that
Committee sent agents to the frontiers,
for the purpose of administering reliefto
the refugees as they arrive, and of en-
abling all who may wish to proceed to
Paris to travel thither. Nor is this be-
nevolence confined to the French Com
mittee; the citizens Of the United States
at present in Paris organized this day a
cooperating Committee with the same
objects, and have already raised fund
4 for that purpose, amounting to no less a
sum than $4,000 francs (3,200l. .)-This
Committee-of which the President il
MIR. Law, and the Secretary Fenimort
, Cooper-have added to their number q
, distinguished native ofPo!and, M. Leon
, ard ChodzkI, the historian ofthe Polish
Legion in the service of France. Thus
, you see that, although Poland is for the
moment conquered, the brave men who
fought for her, and who are, in conse-
quence, exiles from their native land
will not be allowed to perish, even though
the Government Of France may deem il
expedent to refuse them political rights
Will the British public leave to the citi-
zens ofFrance, and of the United States,
all the honor of solacing in their misfor.
