not only the suggestion of his own judgment, but
the most approved policy for France, after the tnosj
in.it'ire deliberation. Very wmmi utter the revolu
tion the general question of war or jx*ace had been
discussed but decided in invor ol the latter. 1 he
minister titeu pritceeded to demonstrate, that France
could nut have given any substantial assistance to
Poland either by sea or land; in the bu rner way,
Without provoking a general war, beginning with
Prussia; by the latter not at all, tor Poland was
witiiout mountains, pints; or means of defence.
The Poles iiad no ports in the Baltic, and 1 ranee
could nut eiiter the Black Sea without the consent
of Turkey. But, even under all these disadvanta
ges, the government. of Louis Phillipe had not neg
lected its duty—it had remonstrated with Russia,
and, it was hoped, not entirely without success,
fur the Cabinet of St. Petersburg bad pledged it
self that the nationality of Poland should be respect
ed. With respect to the recall of the ambassador
at Constantinople, M. Sebastiani justified it to the
full extent, for he contended that M. Guileminot
could not possibly serve either Poland or France
by his interference, Turkey being unable to take
any part, and to all diplomatic purposes a perfect
“corpse.” The minister concluded by repeating,
that France had done all that was possible for the
Poles, consistently with the resolution of not invol
ving the country in a war with'Prussia, which had
been agreed-upon as the fittest and safest course
to be pursued. The result of the discussion hith
erto appears to be a strengthening rather than a
diminution of the ministerial -preponderance in the
chamber; but the struggle is not yet over, as the
debate had bsen postponed.
FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
New-York, November 10.
The Polish cause, we are happy to learn, is yet
fir from being desperate.—The patriots have still,
comparatively speaking, a well appointed, tliough
not numerous, army, burning with zeal to a\ ’enge
the massacre at Warsaw. They have also some
strong forts in their possession, and what is lietter
still, a courage as invincible as their cause is just.—
Tne recent proclamations of their Chiefs breathe
fhe very spirit of patriotism, and can scarcely fail
to have a corresponding effect on the heads and
hearts of those to whom thev are addressed.—Sun.

London, Sept. 23.
City, 12 o’clock—We have the following ac
counts from Vienna in regard to the situation of
tiie Polish ariqy, from the frontiers of Poland:
“The plan of the Poles was to weaken the Rus
sian army by surrendering Warsaw, knowing the
Russians would, be obliged to leave a large three
there to garrison tiie town. General S^yembeok
is in their rear with 20,000 men, in the Palatinate
of Sando nir, and by the destruction of the bridges
oil tiie Vistula, near Gera and Ossieu, all the com
munications will be cut off with Russia.—Flock is
tee, and General Romarino, who has gained a
complete victory of General Golowiu, and has tak
en oossession of Lublin, is in the environs of Cra-
cnw. Taere is also a numerous militia, supported
Ly 10,000 regular troo|>s.—Owing to the Polish ar
my still holding out, the Russians at Warsaw are
taking every precaution to prevent a surprise from
the Polish army.”
Extract from a private letter from Schiino, near
Thotn, dated Sept. 12:—
“Having decided to leave Warsaw on the 6th
in tiie morning* 1 was roused by the thunder of the
cannon. A very formidable attack was made bv
the Russians on the whole of the line of the Polish
batteries which defended the town. r I1ie carnage
was terrible. Tiie Russians lost from 16 to 17,000
men, and 20,000 balls and Congreve rockets. A
great quantity of grenades and bombs were thrown
by die Poles in the Russian camp. The Polish
army is in the best slate, and full of animation.”
