between them and the republic NJ de Lamart ne then
read the directions sent by the provisional

formally declared that the independence of Poland
is n cause which the French government would
abandon. He then continued-The same language

which he has since subscribed for the reconstituton
OF the Grand Duchy of Posen. few days after that
revolution the king, faithful to his preceding engage
ment declared to our envoy that he would fulfil his
promises He did more-the Grand Duchy of Posen
declared free and free constitution given to
it, Immediately after the reconstitutisn of that pro-

Prussia has sent an army to intervene between the
Germans and the Poles and that proceeding has caused
struggles and massacres which have drenched the

has declared that his only interviewed for the

protested against the oruees exercised towards the
Poles Of the duchy Of Posen that she desired to

You see CONTINUED NJ. Lamartinel that nothing has
been neglected to guaranty the interests OF Poland.
And will add that the reproaches addressed to foreign
governments relative to the reconstruction Of Polish
nationality, i'll founded. Those governments have
commenced the execution Of tho promises which they
made bat the events which have occurred have pre-
vented the full realisation ofthem present
are succeeding with rapidity. The example OF Bohe
mia the example of Italy must bring about the
plishment of those promises within perhaps few
months 1t is sufficient at present to know how to
wait with patience. Events are stronger than men,
and always end in being realised. We have been
reproached with weakness; but to forget
fellow citizens9 Were we to forget the
millions Of workmen who from the want Of work,
left prey to the horrors Of hunger, to go
and reconstitute the independence of Poland? All !,
do you not know that when called on to send
from 100 900 to 100000 men to Germany-and here
appeal to the testimony of colleagues Of those brave
generals who shared with the fatgues and perils
of government do you not know how many
soldiers had the banks of the Rhine? p
We had only 1873 900 men (marks Of dissent), where
now, throughout the whole of France, have $780,
900 infantry, and $4,000 cavalry The which
we now possess to tho solictude Of our no.
norable colleague, who charged at the same time
with tho double department of war and the marine.
Return thanks to the interchangeable vigilance of the
whole government which had the courage resist the
enthusiasm which led it to testify it's sympathies for
Poland And besides when we should have sent
100000 100000 men into Germany; when
should have had the weakness to yield to the genius of
conquests-are you aware what would have happened!
We should have met with $50 600 men in Germany be-
fore reaching Poland and once arrived in that coun
try, I'VE should have found 900 Russians to have
opposed that is to say, without being of any ad-
vantage to Poland, should have sent brave
soldiers to certain butchery. (Sensation) That is q
