ADDRESS
, -£ t ' OF THE
Carrier of the Macoh Telegraph,
TO ITSPATRONS
os the 1st jasvaht, 1832.
KIND PATRONS! Time has winged his way
To bring another New Year’s day;
And bore your CARRIER at his post,
AVith no vain tanut, no idle boast,
The tales of by-past time* would sing,
The past iu retrospect to bring* - * .
And if familiar to your ears,
Our plain unvarnished tale appears,
Such ever is the Carrier’s task, .
He would no. prophecy unmask.
Of Wars, of Peace, in Foreign climes,
We’ve ample share to fill our rhymes;
Yes, and to fill our hearts with grief,
Where hope'may vainly seek relief;
Ill fated Polaxd! onco the free,
Heaven controls tby destiny,
No earthly power, alas! can save
The thrall that binds the true and brave.
The shade of Kosciusko nerved,
Bold hdartS that ne’er from duty swerved,
Resolved by that great power on High,
Freemen to iive, Freemen to die:
Too well the plains of Warsaw tell
Where those proud spirits nobly fell,
Proclaiming with their latest breath,
Poland, Victoiy, orJJeath;
And we are left but to regret
The power of Russia’s Autocrat,
And that accursed Holy league i
The fiendish offspring of intrigue,
Before which freedom pleads in vain.
While they exterminate his name.
Greece, too, once favored classic land,
In vain yields to a stranger hand
Her beggared crown: Aud now no more
That dime shall breathe in classic lore;
Her sons ruled by a despot rod
Bow to a lordling tyrant’s nod,
Who’s scarcely seated, ere tbe dart *
Of the Assassin strikes his heart:
And now shall anarchy arise,
Before which blushing freedom lues;
W.h,lo her prond deeds of ancient fame
Are all of Greece that can remain.
To toll the spot that once unfurled,
A banner that o’erspread the world.
But tbo’iu vara iri classic Greece, .
Freedom may rest in quiet peace,
Tho’ from dear Poland she must fly
Before the blight of tyrauny,
Yet other lands may offerings bring
Tochcckher wayward waqdcrmg.
Franco had her days: Her constitution,
Sprang front her chamber’s dissolution,
from hence the Goddoss’ tardy flight,
.Reflects a,dim. aud dickering light,
Whieh in uncertain gleams ascends
Fatui-like from Belgic fens,
Each Mynheer drops his pipe of clay,
To drive the fragrant smok? away,
And as the blazo sal! brigiitor burns ;
Aroused in tho pursuit lie turns,
His sword he draws, tho scabbard throws,
“JDunder aud Blfrem”.athis foos.
.Until bis lowlaiid focmen ties
Before his shout of victory.
Thus, now no more in thrall confined,
Belgium may riso in march of mind,
Aha Leopold in honor briug _
Her sons to cheer a patriot King.
Eholasd from whence our fathers sprungj
A glance to thee ere we reach home;
Fain would we with forgotten things,
Bufy our early leading strings,
lfbut thy stern stepmother eye
Watched with less hate our destiny.
’Tis not enough thy laureate’s soug
Proclaims “the King can do no wrong,’’
Nor slavery’s tread can e’er defile
’The hojora of thy sea girl isle;
Nor yet enough from thee to draw
The maxims of our common law;
Still must thy Press proclaim as true,
Tho slanders of thy CocknoyejJ fow,
Whoso bra^eutongues-and manners rude,
Goul-Hke, muston our shores intrude,
And as ahold «eroneaut flies .
With bird eye glances greet their eyes, .
•Then hurry home; their tale unravel
In tarries bf Trans Atlantic travel.
But tho’ 'Tray, Blanche, and Sweetheart’ bark
•With foulest tale's and slanders dark,
'One story to its course must run,
And to each part duo justice done.
The Poet, Statesman and tho Sage
Gall this a highly favoured age,
That high wrought power, the march of mind,
Is to no clast or clime confined,
Aru, Temperance and Education,
Are claiming their exalted r-tation;
Bee Rail Roads spreading wido and far, "•
While thousands hail the rapid car.
Whose bird-like speed by this new power,’
Files over thirty miles tho hour;
Canals too, of,unmeasured length,
Remain a glorious monument,
To spread abroad great Climtok’s name,
And yield him an immortal fame.
Britain! may thy Vox Populi
Humble promi Aristocracy,
And every rotten borough-monger
Hear thy voice in tones of thunder;
Thy yeomen, in this noblo cause
Sustain the spirit of your laws;
And thus, in one stop uncoofined,
Pursue the great cause or mankind:
REFORM must still your watchword be—
Its axe strikes but a hollow tree.
A sturdy axeman, may your King
Soon level all its branches bring.
■“Breathe* there the man, with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land;
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned,
From wandering on a foreign strand?”
Thus, with ouphtse, though prone to roam,
She gladly tflUs to sceues of home—
That home for which wo only live,
A borne uo other power can give.
Here Jackson guides with energy
A grateful nation’s destiny;
His'country's good, bis only aim;
His rich reward, our high acclaim, .
Then'let it be our'nation’s care
Again to place him in the Chair.
Despite of Adams, Wirt and Clay,
The people will his worth repay.
If ’tis expected of our muse
That sbe will all tbe slanders use, •
Which ribald pnns or doggerel rhymes
Have hatched, of late, to please tbe times,
These we eschew as hackneyed stuff
Of which our friends have bad enough.
Wbu, if ’(were trim as said, (aside)
Women our councils may divide?
’Tis but a sport where we’ve our share.
Why should it not be common care?
Did not old Eve, our great grrmdmadam,
Beguile our great grandfather, Adam,
To tasteRtefiraitpf life and light,
And thueaec4*rste their flight!
Enough. You'iee the application:
It needs no further illustration.
As pilgrim, through the torrid sun,
His chosen shade, by toil, hath won,
So I approach our nappy clime
To chaiint my own fig-tree and vine.
GEORGIA, my home, I wed to thee,
In good or ill, my destiny:
For, ho thy faults whate’er they may,
Thy patriotism none dare gainsay;
Thy sons are brave, thy daughter! fair;
Thy soil is filled with treasures rare;
And Lumpkin fills the highest station,
With “wisdom, Justice, moderation"—
A faithful soldier at his post, «
He makes no vain, no idle boast— ’■
Armed with the justice , of our cause.
His motto is, “sustain the laws.’’ *
MACON, the burthen of our song,
Fairest of towns, to thee belong;
Yet who could tell thy industry, . • ,
Thy fame and thy prosperity?
Year after year, thy charms unfold,
And yet the'half remains untold.
Here, nature’s richest genial soil
Rewards ths willing laborer’s' toil;
Here, Virtue, Charity, Religion,
Claim each their highly favored region;
Here Beauty’s gay aud sparkling light .
Reflects, in smiles and flashes bright,
Those joys which only can impart
A soother to tbe bjirtbened heart w
But hark! what is that fearful onr?
It sounds liko dangers lurkiug nigh.
Ah! yes.' The elemental strife
Approaches, with destruction rife, ' •
And thoso fond homes which years have made
Are in one mass of ruin laid.
Ours too, by tho “fell swoop’’ destroyed,
Sinks down into a blackened void. •
Tho Pi*ess, whose hard-earned fame has gained
A name your kiuaas 33 has sustained,
Lies in one crush, uuct for use,
Crippled and limping—as our muse.
PATRONS, accept, ere yet we part,-
The triruts vf a grateful heart.
'Tis but your due for favors past—
Out auly, that your favors last:
For this, our earnest prayer shall be,
That -Heaven guide your prosperity, ' '
And oil its choicest blessing cheer
Your journey through oach COMING YEAR.
From, the Washington Globe.
1 COLOMBIA. '
Despatches aud journals from Bogotabavebeen
received at the Department of State, from which
it appears that the Republic of Colombia has
ceased to exist, aud that in its "place we shall
hereafter find on the map of South America,
three separato and independent states, viz. V e-
nezuela, New Granada, and the Equator. On
the SOth of October, a convention mot at Bogota
for the purpose of settling the future form of go
vernment of New Granada. The President, in
his address, declares, that the union between tho
States ae longer exists; and the Minister of Fo
reign. Affairs, Alejandro Velez, begins his report
by admitting that for a year past, the administra
tion at Bogota had only been acknowledged in
New Granada, at)d that n was neither proper
nor convenient aay longer to keep up a sem
blance of authority over countries which had en
tirely seceded. However, ho addresses bis report
to u, because, as he says, ministers from foreign
powers still remain accredited to it, and with it
tho agents in distant countries continued to cor
respond. . '
With regard to us he says, “From the United
North American States* wo continue to receive
proofs of tho most amicable feelings. For tbe
!ast three years a minister from them has resided
in Bogota, who has been indeed the only official
organ of communication between the twtr gov
ernments. The administration of Ge'neral Boli
var was by no means inclined to keep up a good
understanding with a nation having so much in
fluence in America, and whoso institutions were
entirely opposed to thoso which he intended to
fix upou Colombia; for this reason bo recalled
.the legation, which had been sent to Washing
ton, leaving merely a consul general to report
changes in commercial proceedings. But, uow,
that public opinion and milifary force appear to
have put an end to the aristocratic propensities
of certain military chiefs who made ail subsidiary
to their ambitious views, nothing is more desira
ble than to strengthen the bonds of union with so
great and magnanimous a nation. To this we
are urged not only by our immediate interests,
but by tho consideration that those States are
destined by their position and influence, to coun
teract the policy of certain- European nations
which are now using every means to establish
tbeir despotic institutions throughout this hemi
sphere.
“The government has accepted the resiguatiou
of the late consul genoral iu the United States',
and has appointed in his place M. Domingo A-
costa, a gentleman in every respect qualified for
the office, and possessing tbo confidence of the
Executive/. Moreover, 'ns tbe said M. Acosta is
willing to.actas charge d’affaires, with tbe salary
assiguod him as consul general, ho has received a
commission to that effect, not ouly with the view
of demonstrating the high importance attached
to tho cultivation of friendship -with the United
Stales, but also in order that \vc may there have
a defender against the attacks constantly made
by our enemies."
Tbe journals are of course divided in their o-
ilaions. One party wishes to mako any sacri-
ce rather than give up the hopes of reunion; a-
nether seems, to nuve abandoned the idea entire-,
Iy, and devotes its attention to the form of gov
ernment to be adopted.
From a series of articles published in the Ga-
ceta di Colombia, it would appear that stroug i-
deas are entertained of a monarchy ; while on tho
other hand, a vigorous attempt seems to be made
to curtail the power of tbe clergy.
The displaced cousui general is Xavier di Mo-
dina, a gentleman of talents and education, who
during his Asidence in New York has acquired
tile eslcom of the inhabitants. ‘
VENEZUELA.
Tbe Mercurio. contains extracts'from the Gace-
tadc Venezuela’up to the 2d November, inclu
sive, and of letters from Caracas and La Guayra
to the 3d and 4 th. The country has continued
tranquil, under the rule of Pacz, who arrived at
Caracas ou the 6th September, and resumed bis
functions, issuing on address to -the citizens, in
which be gave an ’account of his proceedings
while absent, in quiotiug the country. He pass
ed a high encomium on the conduct of tho army,
and resigned the military authority with which
be had been extraordinarily invested. He nam
ed General Jose T. Monagas governor of tbo
province of Barcelona. A project of a'law for
the abolition of tithes was before the Venezuelan
congress, to go into effect on filie 1st January,
1832. The clergy are to be paid out of certain
imposts designated for, the purjose, ymd if they
are inadequate, out of the other revenues of the
States—New York Commercial Advertiser..
By the brig Montgomery, Gapt. Sherman, we
have received a file of the Cacctade Venezuela,
from tbe montb of July to the I6th of November.
As far as we can judge from these papers, the
century is in a stats of quietness, and we would
fain hope U settling down into something like
permanent tranquility.' ■* •*, /,
A decree of the Government rcpcils the laws
or 16th Oct. 18ill, and 3(Jth July/1824, con
fiscatlug the 1 fleets.of' Spanish subjects, and di-
reetffR processes instituted agklast such pro
perty to be discontinued. • /
Several of the latest papers /Ire filled with
“projects of laws,”—some of wjich are signed
by the President end Secretary/of -the Senate,
aud others without signature, ' /'■ ' ”,
One of them suppresses all couveuts where
the number of inmates is lessithan eight, and
applies the avalis to tbe purposes of education
andcharity. rev'.
' Another exempt* L iwhca^' the growth of the
country, from .alt taxation, civil dr occlesiasticai;
for the term of-ten;yem*.., .
Another pronounces * 1 (WTy the duty* levied for
the support of religjotfs worship and the Clergy,
to he excessive; and declares it abolished from
and after the 1st of Jan. 1632. fu.licu of this, it
provides that tho' Cledy slmll be paid from the
public Treasury. The salary of the Arch Bishop
is fixed at $8,000; of the Bishops at $4000 each,
and of the Minor Clergy at a moderate compensa
tion.
Another provides for tbe establishment of a
College.in tbe capital of every Province in Ven
ezuela. , '
Another fixes the standing army at three bat
talions of infantry, with two supernumerary
companies, aud six companies of artillery.
Another enacts, that tbo coasting trade sbail be
conducted exclusively by vessels of the couutry.
and be duty-free. Foreign vessels, however,
after touching at one port and landing a part of
their cargo, may proceed to anothor or others'
with, the remainder, provided it hits not been
previously landed*' ■
Another directs the saiq of the government
vessels'lying at Porto Cabel.lo, which it states are
rapidly going to rain. Notice to be given of the
time and conditions of sale, in the public papers*
of Venezuela, and also made known in the ad
jacent Islands, and tho principal ports of the
"nited States. . •
Another permits tho Archbishop of Caracas
and tho Bishops of Tricala and Jerico, who had
been banished for contumacy, to return to tho
country and resumo their functions; 1I10 assu
rances which they have given, being satisfactory
to the government.,' . '■
. Another, of 37 articles, with various sub-divi
sions, fixes the rate of duties on foreign importa
tions. It divides the principal articles of import
iuto five classes, paying a duty of 3,12,22, 27,
and 32 per cent, respectively ad valorem, with
an addition of 5 per cent if imported in foreign
vessels.—N. Y. Jour, of Com. Dtce. 23.
The Niger.—It udw .appears that the Niger
disembogues itself by no less tbau thirty or forty
streams: some of them of such depth that it is
certain light vessels aud steamboats may navigato
as high as Timbuctrio, and thus open a commer
cial intercourse with tho heart of Africa. The
British government, with due attention to a sub
ject so interesting at once to trado and geogra
phy, have, we understand, -directed some of our
cruisers to work into some of the channels of this
delta, aud’we may therefore soon expect a vari
ety of interesting details. * Timbuctoo, the fabled
city of a terra incognita, will then, it is presumed,
becomo the entrepot of' African commercn, and
that vast continent be thereby opened to the
knowledge of the world, and the arts of civiliza
tion. Now the discovery is made, we are of
course lost in wonder that for three centuries this
communication should have been a vulgar tradi
tion, aud that the European captains aud traders
should have passed this delta with listless indif
ference.— English paper. , *
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
London dates to the 8th and Liverpool to tho
9th November, have been received at the office of
the Now York Journal of Commerce. Tbo fol
lowing are the most interesting items: '
Tho Loudon Times, referring to tho address of
the Polish refugees to their fellow-countrymen,
says, “between. 30,000 and 40,000 of tho best citi
zens of Poland nro now in'foreign lands They
have the example of the “Polish Legion” before
them, and intend, like it, to become a nation with
out a country, till happior times restore them to
ilto banks of the Vistula and the possessions of
their ancestors. Tho Poles have neither ships
oftheii 1 own country to curry them, nor colonics
on which to retire; but they will find tho means
of traqsport across the Atlantic from grangers,
and may carry (heir household go-ls to a land of
freedom, where, pmong the Jicoplo who gave an
asylum to Kosciusko, they may v. ait li,r the result
of European royajutions, arid the return of more
propitious days Yob liberty”! •-
The Times of thij 8th mentions' eight recent
fires, occasiopcd by incendiaries. The damage
done was not great.
Liverpool, Aon. 9.—The state of j)ie country is
one of great and dangerous excitement.. .This
cannot be doubted; it has been proclaimed in
characters of firo and blood at Bristol, at Derby,
and at Nottingham; and bow soon we may have
a repetition of such scenes is boyoud tho power
of man to determine.
Cholera.—The. alarm in respect to tho chole
ra in England, hud iu a measure subsided. A
letter from Alexandria, in Egypt, dated .-Septem
ber 23, states that the disease had entirely cuased
at Cairo, and that at Alexandria tho'number’ of
cases had diminished to eight or teu in a day.—
According to the official returns published in
Hungary, the. cholera had visited • 2,!)(j'i towns
and villages iu that kingdom. One thousand and
one places were again freo from tbo scourgo.—
The total number of cases to tho I8th October,
was 33.1,*11, of deaths ),',1,731. At Vioim 1. (in
cluding the suburbs) oti new eases occurred oil
tho 22d. The total number of cases in that cap
ital to that day. 2,804; of deaths, 1297; remain
ing, 298. A Hamburg letter of (October 21st
says, “tho cholera, I assure’you, looks far more
dreadful at a distance—it is by no means contagi
ous—not an idea of it; it lies in atmosphere, the
air being quite sulphureous, and wo have summer
weather, besides, it attacks only tho lowest class
of people, hard drinkers, people who live in other
respects badly, and such os these from ten to fif
teen die daily.” .y V
London, Nov. 5—There appears no reason to
doubt that tho spasmodic cholera has made its
appearrmco at Sunderland, having been trans
ported thither through tbe medium of onoormore
Hamburg ships, the crqtvs of which broke tho
quarantine regulations by rauging about, tho
snores of tho river. Four or five deaths are said
(but with wh(it'trtlth-Wo know not) to have al
ready taken pltfcd.' ”'■* "t '
Nov. 8.—The cholera panic seems to have
pretty well subsided by this time. There are no
new cases, from Sunderland, and those yVhieh
have been reported arc now doubted, if not deni
ed. Tho public, we'think, may mako their minds
easy on the subject for tho present, not omitu'ug
the precautions which rcatotl suggests, while the
scourge is in its progress in any quarter of. Eu
rope. '
Paris, Nov. 1 A list of fifty peers was circu
lated this evening in the'saloons. It was said to
have 'been agreed upon this morning. ■ It was
composed .of twcrity ; five genera) officers, three
magistrates, five persons who have beenengaged
in diplomatic affairs, two members of tbe lusti
tute, fifteen peers taken from tho administration
of the empire, or from the present, or who havh-
rendered services to the state. In some circles,
the lief was reduced to forty. Iu general, the
names are well chosen.
Paris, Nov. 5.—The disarmament of Enropo
is evefv'moment believed' to bo nearer at hand.
Great ts the consequent dissatisfactioni off the war
party who consols themselves by belioviug aud
by attempting to persuade every body else, that
the peace about to becoitfe almost general on the
continent will babul a hollow truce.
Well may General Lamarque call that peace
a mere hollow truce during which France shall
require to havo on foot fid .',000 admirably dis
ciplined soldiers, with a reserve of two millions
of national guards, one half of whom, Ut least,
will of neci#sity be composed of men still in the
prime of life, who have been soldiers during eight
years. It is quite true that, in speakiug of an
army of 200,000 soldiers, Marshal Soult intimates
that such ought to be the war complement; but
in the same breath be promises that to that amount
he will carry the effective strength bf tbe French
army iu the approaching year.
Paris, Nov. I.—The Polish refugees who have
been able to reach Paris have found an asylum
chiefly through the efforts of Geuerai Lafayette.
They exhibit letters which reach them every post
from the Prussian frontier, describing tbo cruel
treatmeut of their uufortunato brethren by the
Russian authorities. Those who,, after the fall
of Modlin, returned to seek their former homes
and families, and relied upou the amnesty of tho
Russian generalissimo, .have been, according to
these letters, treated with the utmost harshness
when they sought the restoration of any portion,
of tho spoliation jfcrpetrated upon their property
while in the occupation of the soldierv. Indeed,
generally, all who have not prostrated themselves
before the couqucror have beeu treated with dis
dain and contumely.'
Berlin, Oct. 24.—It is said that our eabiuct is
seriously negotiating with the cabiuet of St. Pe
tersburg, to divert the Northern colossus from iW
warlike intentions with respect to France, which
is the subject that engages all the thoughts of tha
Emperor: he already sees Paris reduced to ashes,
and the Parisians at his feot asking pardon. It
Is a gigantic idea,. worthy the haughty and en
terprising character of Nicholas, to which Prus
sia can oppose only tbe language of persuasiou
to obtain a peace so advantageous to the coun
try." •
Brussels, Nov. 4.—Tho decision of the Belgi
an Senate on the acceptation of the 24 articles
of Peace, as preposed by tho conference of Lou
don, was pronuuced yesterday, wten 011 a divisou
there were-32 votes in favor, and 8 votes against
it. Two abstained from voting.
Warsaw, • Oct. 25.—News was received here
yesterday that the fortress of Zamosc has sub
mitted at discretion to tho clemency of hjs Ma
jesty tbe Emperor and King; Tho garrisou con
sists of 4,200 men. . 1 .
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Berlin, Oct. 18.—Tho briilauf defence of War
saw, caused considerablsaluss to the Rnssiaus; it
costs them at least 20,000 men. As to tho Polish
array, without chiefs^ aud decoived as it was by
diplomatic freaqliery, it suffered itself easily to be
persuaded that it ought to retire. All that were
attached to the revolution, or compromised by it,
then retired to Modlin by tho way of Prnga—
This route presented a must affecting spectacle
—a part of the town m flames, and the road
thronged by senators, nuncios, burgesses, soldiers,
women, persons of alt ranks and of all classes,
al? bearing burdens: it might ho compared to one
of tho migrations of those people spoken of iu an
cient history. *
It was only then the conviction flashed upun
them that the national cause had been sacrificed
by infamous treachery. - .
. Even at Warsaw, if the army had been in
formed of the precarious'position in which it was
S laced; if it had learnt that resistance was useless,
iat the conspiracy had been'earried into effect,
and that the enemy surrounded them on all sides,
they might have beeu enabled to resolve to yield
to inflexible hecessity; but the traitor—Krukowi-
ccki
' Tho Poles were still in force to combat*th«
Russians, already much wcakeucd, but the latter
continued the illusory negotiations. 4
The Poles, regarding Malakowski as a traitor,
chose Rybinski for their cl)iof, and declared to
the enemy that tlfo capitulation of Warsaw con
cerned them nothing, and that .they \vere < deter
mined to try again the chance of battle, instead
of subscribing to disgraceful terms.
The Russians endeavored to temper this ardor
by new negotiations. General Berg, their envoy,
presented himself ns often as possible- at the Po
lish camp, .and managed so well; that the mo-
tuefit arrived wbeu. the communication of tho ar
my with Warsaw was intercepted, and no further
intelligence could bo obtained respecting the corps
of Romarine, who, in tho ihcau time, pressed by
a superior Russian force, bud been obliged to tuke
refuge in tho Austrian territory.
It woj then that tho Poles at.Modlin discover
ed tho difficulties of tbeir position. They had
yet 36,000 men, and 96 pieces of cannon, aud
they might still have kept up the contest; it would
even have becneAsy for them to havo passed the
Vistula, aud to havo fallen on tho Rusoian corps
which pursued Romarino; but Instead of that they
suffered tli -maelves to be deluded by fallacious
promises: they negotiated wiiobe Russian En
voys, who unceasingly succeeded each other, still
believing that K.i/.j u■..*'> nuuhl arrive, ulier form
ing a junction with tho corps 'of Romarino, and
that'then the whole. Polish e.-my might march up
on Warsaw, in order to drive out the Russians.
They were not awaruoftho tr, ason of Kru-
kowiecki until after tho rout of Romarino, and
when it was too late to revicdy it. They begun
then to‘comprehend that their cause was for a
time lost.
. 'They still however, preserve tho hopo that nn
approaching general war, iu which thoy consider
themselves wcll'nftle to tuke on active part, will
lead to the fall ofllicso sovereign* who imvp so
perfidiously sacrificed them. They complain bit
terly of England and France, because it was oh
their promises that they most relied. Austrin and
Prussia, of whom they never expected nny thing
favorable, are far from exciting tho same degree
of hatred in their hearts. • «
Tho greater part of the Provisional Govern
ment have taken refuge in tho -Prussian territo
ries, in order to escapo from the excesses which-
they apprehend. *
It is still announced that the Memoirs of Skrzy-
necki will <oon appear; they will not fail to pro
duce a great effect. *' '' _ s
Princo Czartorjiki has, through the wholo Po
lish revolution, shown himself n devoted patriot
and a wise and able statesman. It is to be re
gretted that the Poles had not a great number of
citizens like him. .

To, the Potts by their Countrymen in England
and France.
Poles!—Confident in the enlightened spirit of the
age, and iu the sanctity of your cause, you’rose
to throw off tho yoke of tho oppressor. The
world, in astonishment, has witnessed your ac-
h evements; but nations whom honour, duty, and 1 * *

pusillanimously betrayed tbo common cause..
Future ages will show bow baso was their con
duct, how short sighted t!ieir policy. The con
test is at np end: tbo sword of the Antucrat 1ms
triumphed. Europo, by her callous iudifl'erence
to your misfortunes,' participates in the unhal
