ard Flock, where it is supposed they would

Such is the subrtaqci! of this f al intel
ligence. It is still said that the Poles will
maintain the struggle. But the loss ot their
capital is a fearful blow, and may, we (ear,
prove fatal to their cause.
City 12 o'duck. —The most unwelcome
news for some time past is announced this
morning-—the capitulation of Waraaw, al
ter two days fighting in its environs, with
the storming ot the Polish entrenchments
by (lie Russians. The lute of the brave
Fob s, is in general deplored throughout the
city ; some faint hopes are expected from
the Polish army, who have made good heir
ictrcat towards Pluck; no doubi the Em
peror of Russia will grant them layui able
terms, which they must accept as then point
d’appui. Warsaw is tost —we must now
look to Paris and tho French nation, how
they will reccve tho sad catastrophe, and
the efleet it will have on the ministers ol
the Ring of the French ; it will no doubt
cause a gieat sensation throughout France ;
but it is toe late—tho die is cast.
The Reform Bill it will bo seen, has pass
ed the It use ol Commons, without debate,
by a majority on ihe ihnd reading of 53.
London, September 20.
Third Reading of (he Reform Riff.-This
bill was actually lead a third lime on Mon
day, withoui h word of opposition, and in a
House of 171 membeie. After some mis
cellaneous business, die third reading was
moved by Lord John Russ 11. Sir Jam s
Scarlett rose, and appeared to be speaking
for a minute or two, but net a word he said
could be heard. There were loud cries ol
*• withdraw, withdraw,” and the gallery
was cleared f>r a division. The House di
vided, when there appeared-- Ft the 3d
reading, 113 ; against it 58 i majority 55.
The division at the moment was a complete
surprise. Lord J. Russell then moved, by
way of rider, he clause, providing for (he
contingency ol a dissolution <d Parliament
before the registration of voters were com
pleted.
How has (he spirit of resistance so sud
denly ceased among the Tories? Wo de
•cry a stratagem. Fhoy are cow anxious
that the Bill should bo hurried with all ex
pedition into the uppe; H-nise, that the Peers
may have an opportunity of r jecimg it be

A let'er dated Warsaw, Sept. 8, (writ
-1 ten liy a Russian.) sats —“Poland is again
i subject to >trt lawful sovereign. 0a the 5 b
inn. Field Marshal Count Paskcwilsch sen
.!« confidential officer to Warsaw, todemand
, in the name id bis majesty the submission of
illie ciiy, amt to promise, on the other hand,
amnesty and pardon. With an infatua'inn
j which cannot be sulficientiy deplored, these
j words id peace were rejected by the leaders
■of (be insurrection. On die 6th, at day break
tlie Russian army advanced to storm the
city. After a most desperate and sanguin
ary resistance, nur brave soldiers wi'h race
j intrepidity, made themselves masters of four
redoubts which lay upon our line of attack,
as well as the liist line of intrenchmenis
which surround Warsaw itself, and of which
Wola'is a perfect fortress. The task, how
ever, wa§ not ended with this; (here re
mained a •ecoml line nf intrenchments, and
a broad moat round the city, defended by
bastions,
“At 4 o’clock in (he morning of the 7th,
the Field Marshal was prepaiing to over
come these last obstacles, when Gen. Kro
kowicki sent Gen. Prondxynski to him to
'announce the intention of the Polish na ion
to submit to its legitimate King Thesi sen
timents were, however, not c<.- firmed by
that Chief of the Government, who soon at
ler came in person to the Marshal. He af
fiim d that the consent of th, Diet was ne
, cesssiy for such submission. ALei 'he. mos
urgent exhortations and representations of
die inutility nf further defence, and the dis
asters winch it would inevitably bring with
it, die General withdrew at 10 o’clock in
toe InrcnooD. Hereupon, three hours more
were granted to Gen. Krokowiecki, within
which time he was to announce to the Mar
shal his final resolution. As this was not
given by 1 o’clock, tlie Marshal Bent word
that he should give orders to attack. Hall
an hour more wag requested for considera
tion, but this also elapsing without a satis
factory answer being given, the Marshal
1 issued ot tiers for the attack. It was terri
ble, and very successful; flags of truce were
i sent, tun they brought only dilatory answers
I'heat'ack was, therefore, begun upon the
1 second line of intrenchments, which was
‘ carried at the point of the bayonet. The
j, enemy, who in the meantime received rein -
1 torccineuls, vigorously defended the gardens
I and die edges of the ditches towards the
t Jerusalem barrier, and even made our troops
- give way for a moment; but 'he ardour of
f ihe tader revived; (hey quickly scaled the
> walls of the city, which presented a most
e formidable. line of defence. The prodigies
y of valor which had already distinguished the
e two days were renewed, ami at 9 o’clock in
< the evening, ihe intrenchments, the gardens,
- ditches, walls—every thing, in short, was in
tho hands of our bnve troops. Meantime
■ night had set in, and the army required re
t- pose.
H "The lines of intrenchments carried by
• storm, 6000 prisoners, and nearly 100 pie
* ces ol cannon, were the trophies of these two
- memorable days.
"Nothing could now save the city end the
enemy’s army. Both, therefore, implored

RUSSIAN ACCOUNT OF THE CAP
-1 TURK OF WARSAW.
The Prussian Slate Gazette of the 15ih

Russian head quarters. The first dated

- prehension that the negotiations ciimmen
s ced by General Sannenburg, may not have
8 a favorable result, but adds lhai if the at
s tack in the entrenchments should be suc
f cesslul, perhaps the voice of reason may be
e listened to, and then it will require but a
i short time to come to an understanding.
s The second leport is dated Warsaw,

ii but in substance the same as the report al
i, ready received, the circumstances of the
n at'ack on the entrenchm*-- ts of Warsaw,
eiOn 'he 2d day (September 7) Count Paske
- witsch received a contusion from a cannon
ball, which struck his leti arm in the first
y quarter of an hour of the combat, aod,
- though no dangerous consequences were
0 apprehended, he was obliged for a time to
quit the field, and leave (he command to
e General Toll. After detailing the circum
distances of the combat till the Russians had
jgot possession of the ramparts, the report
„ concludes in the following term*. “ The
Poles r. treated into the interior of the citv,

subject, to leave room even fora hope that

. now 100 plain can never be wrung from him

j i The fraction of the patriot army which
had passed through Praga on its way to
’ Modiin, and from which so much was ex
pected, it now appears, as a body of prison
jlers of war, at the command of the conquer
, or, and to the spot pointed out by him to
await his pleasure. Every thing is, in a
(word, lost to Poland, except its honor, and
that still remains untarnished. The con
flict in the intrenchments must have been
j lawful, and, if the besieged be cheerfully a
. jwarded the palm of obstinate valor and
glorious resistance, it is, has fain to give to
I the assailants the praise of that brave and!
buoyant impulse which boro them through
so many difficulties.
; The Poles are confessed by (heir enemies (
" to have behaved with Polish spirit, and the
i Russian soldiers without reference to their'
'detestable cause, appear to have conducted
j 'themselves with praiseworthy bravery. The i
t loss of the latter is estiraaed in the Frus
sian accounts at 4,000 or 5,000 men j but
| it must be considerably more, and when so
p much is admi'ted, it is not unreasonable to
set down at double, at least, or 10,000 men.
( Even at such a price Paskewitscii may think
t the capital, with all the advantages of a
resting place for his troops for the winter,
cheaply purchased.
The Russian conquest seems to be corn

. >2.6 a Government, General Witt is men
k tioned as having been appointed to the ait
. nation of Governor of Warsaw. The terms
. which the besieged obtained were--securi

recently there has arisen some little demand

r- Despatches have been received at tht
b- D partioent of State, from C. P. Van Ness
m Esq. Minister at Madrid, containing in
t, formation very important to our merchants
n. relative to the Port of Cadiz, of which the
ie following is the summary ; By a royal de
st cree of the 2lst of February, 1829, Cadi?
is wag made a free port and it was expressly
e stated in the Bth article of said decree,
n •* that if at any future time His majesty
is should be induced to suppress this freedom,
i. no resolution with that intent should take
effect until one year after its publication,
b in order that foreign merchants might not
Jsuffer by (he change,”
f
Notwithstanding this express pron .se, J
n- Royal Decree was issued on the 23d of June
■ve last, essentially abridging, if not virtually
:ir abolishing the freedom of the port, width
heiwss forwarded to the Inlendant of Cad./,,
ho'wiih a view to ito being carried forthwith
to info effect.
ly! Information of this having been received
ot by Mr. Burton, our Consul at Cadiz, he
jinstanlly lodged with the Intendant, Ids pre
'cess against its inumdiute execu*ion, and
is forwarded iufoimotion of its tenor to Mi.
i- Van Ness. By the latter a remonstrance
IT was drawn up and sent to M. Salmon, Se
lecretary of State foi Foreign Affairs, in which
d it was urged that " any decree, by whatever
e came it be called, or whatever may be its
c professed object, derogating in an essential
it point from the freedom of the port, as el
1, tablished in February 1830, is as much a
>r I violation of its spirit a« an express abolition
- would be—and thus t» contend otherwise
s would be to suppose that decree after dc
n'eree might be issued curtailing the privi
leges granted, until nothing should be left
hos the original right. The decree of June,
u 1831, is certainly an essential abridgement
-of the privileges assured to foreign mer
- chants by the word of the monarch ; and
- it is impossible that his Majesty could in
[> I tend to enforce it until one year had elapsed
i after its publication,” &c. &c.
li The remonstrance was immediately at
- tended to, and M. Salmon assured our
i Minister that “ the order would not be en
forced to (he injury of foreign merchants,
I contrary to the pledge contained in the Btk
( article of the decree ot 1829.”
In consequence, on the 28th, the decree
[of June IS, 1851, was published in the Ca
rl;?. Official Journal, accompanied by a de
claration, that "it would not be acted on
without further notice.” On the 4th Aug.
■ 1 a new royal decree was published in tho
same Journal, *' suspending until further
:|notice, the execusion of the former.”

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Fellow-Citizens. —Called by the voice
, of the people of Georgia, to the first office
. within their gift, I approach the respond
. btli ies id the station with unaffected hu
mility and diffidence, And but lor a fina
reliance on that wisdom, which comes from
abtve, and an unshaken confidence in the
r vir ne and intelligence ot my constituents,
I should shrink from ihe in gmtude ol tho

I The basis of my political creed is, confi
t deuce in the unofficial sovereign people,
f They are the only legitimate source ol til
. governmental power and I believe them
t to be, not only capable of self government,
f but ot wise self-government. Therefore
..nsy only hope of retaining their confidents

duty.
To this station I bring no spirit of party
i animosity or political strife, I have no
i pledges to redeem, or vindictive feelings to
j gratify. lam now the servant of all.
, I avail myself of this occasion, to re-af
i firm what I stated to the public in Febru*
. ary last—that "it is my most ardent desire,
. to see the whole people of Georgia united
lon the great subjects of political interest
and principle, which are inseparably con
nected with liberty and the perpetuation of
1 our federal union. • The Federal Union
1 must bt preserved? and it can only be dona
1 by the General and State Governments cop
-1 fining themselves within their respective

i Pure patriotism demands of every publi*
, functionary, a voluntary sacrifice of all po
s laical pnjudices, which may stand opposed
ito the public interest. Thus far, I make a
. free-will offering of my own, on the altar of
- the public good.
In the presence of that portion of my fel*
