EIGHT' DAY S LATER FROM ENGLAND. By the arrival at an early hour this morning, of the packet-ship Columbia, Gap A 1 )clano. from Portsmouth on the Ist of August. the Editors of the Cour ier A Enquirer, have received their tiles j of London Papers and shipping Lists to | the 3lst of July inclusive. The news by this arrival is of the high- J est importance, as bringing information that Prussia has thrown off the hypocrit- ■ ical cloak which she has so long worn, and openly declared for Russia against the Poles. The neutrality of one of the great Allied Powers, being thus destroy ed. what is there to prevent the imme diate interference of England and France ? This is the question that agi tates London and Paris, and which we 1 trust will he answered by these pow ers taking in concert the necessary steps to preserve Poland from the hungry vul tures that again seek to annihilate her. The London Courier of the afternoon of! the 27th says, *We have this moment re ceived from an.official source the lUdar ationnf Prussia relative to Poland. The Prussian Government has just declared ■that it is not ventral Polish affairs : that it considers it has a right to aid Russia in every way—in facilitating the pas sage of provisions and munitions of war to the Russian army in Poland—and to treat tho Poles as revolted subjects, in tine, that the present state of Prussia is inactivity lint not neutrality. This de claration will, no doubt, change the pol icy of our Cabinet, for, the system, of non-intervention not living adhered to tvy other powers, we are not hound to keep it ; besides, inactivity is a voluntary situation, which makes no engagements, I and which is against the system of non intervention : for allow Prussia to say to-day it will adhere to neutrality—to- j morrow it may enter I'oland with its ar mies, without other powers having a word 'to say. Fi'ancccaouot permit this new puliti cal situation, which, in liu*t. is nothing vise than direct intervention. Our Cab-j ine.t, we trust, w ill on this occasion sop port these liberal -principles abroad which we are strenuously advocating at j .home."’ 'Onthe situation of Poland we haw . merely to remark—it is as had as i; well j can he. A small hand of gallant spirits ev( cy w here evince their determination to perish sooner than yield to their op- ! pre sors—they achieve victory aftervic- I lory, hut alas, each battle diminishes their number, and renders their fate: more certain, unless England and France interfere to save her. The murder of Gen. Giobrnd in the Prussian territory, calls loudly f *r vengeance. The cholera, it w ill be perceived, lias broke out in Berlin and driven the Ring and his family from that city; that the Courier Crnnmis s<ales, that letters from Italy announce positively that the chol era trior tors lias maiufcstvd itself in Fi fe -sine and at \ncofia. In England the Reform Bill progress-1 cd slow ly in the House of Commons, and so certain is its fate in that House, that hut little interest is felt in the question. POLAND. Prussia has at length w holly cast aside the flimsy mask w hich she has hitherto worn with respect to Poland. A corres pondent upon whose authority we can rely, last night communicated to us the J following statement: —“The Prussian j Government at length unblushingly a-, vows the foul partizanship to Russia ( which it has hitherto scarcely taken pains to disguise. It has just put forth a do-' duration of war against poor neglected, j hut still magnanimous Poland. In this i State paper, the government admits broadly that it is no longer neutral, and it then proceeds to contend for its right, under treaties, of supplying the Russian army on its frontiers, in Poland, with arms, ammunition, and all the necessaries of war. It concludes by stating if it docs not at once proceed to adopt more rigorous measures, it is to be understood as arising from the position which it bus at present taken up, which is one of “in activity” not neutrality. Here, theft, is the first direct depar ture from that system of neutrality a mongst. the Great Powers of Europe which has been looked upon hitherto, as tying up the hands of the English and French Governments, with respect to Po land. But if Prussia, from the middle ground, advances upon one side tw o paces tow ards Russia, why may not other pow-j ers, without any violation of the princi- j pies of treaties, advance two paces on ; the other, towards imploring, apd. we j leai*, expiring Poland ? Is it that the j approach is to he eternal, that despotism and oppression .ever find willing and ac-! . tive supporters, w hilst the cause of irijur ■ed liberty and oppressed nations never meets with but languid friends and slug gish champions ? \7e arc not sorry that | Prussia has thus exposed itself ; the un disguised hostility'of an enemy is better | than the base treachery' of a pretended j friend, and the holy cause of Poland may require an accession of sympathy by the increased detestation which this new act of baseness will produce amongst all the well-disposed people of Europe, arcady too much disgusted with the double-faced conduct of Prussia upon this subject.— Our correspondent hopes that the change of situation will not escape the notice of our own Government, a hope in which we, averse as we are to see the country upon any account committed to a war, warmly entertain. The subject is, how ever, worthy of their serious considera tion.—Herald, Z&th July. Just as wo were going t<> pvece. we received the Paris papers of Monday. The Journal des Debats states that tin corps which had crossed the V istula consists of 20,000 men, with 84 pieces ofartillery. It is commanded by Count Pahlen. The inhabitants of Warsaw Have re ceived orders to provide themselves w ith provisions for six months. The main body of the Polish army was at Modlin. The Generalissimo intend ed, it was supposed, to offer battle. The troops, it was said, were full of enthusi : asm.— ■ Courier , 27th. Private Correspondence. .Paris, July 28. —YVe arc without news from Poland to-day, and remain, consequently, in extreme anxiety respect ing that brave but suffering nation. By reference to the map, yon wilt have seen | that the principal point at which the Rus sian army crossed thv Vistula was dose upon the confines of Prussia, in order to j avail themselves of Prussian assistance.! aid to avoid tin possibility of interrup tion from the Poles. Boats, it will he recollected, were supplied to them fromj Thorn. The immediate object of the! Russians in this movement is not to bring i on a general engagement, or to march upon Warsaw. It is rather to secure; supplies for himself, and to ravage and destroy the troops in that part of the Palatinate of Warsaw from which the capital drew the greater portion of its j supply of provisions. [From the Messenger des Chambres, dat-1 ed Thursday.] .: A letter from Memel, dated July 13., says, “As soon as the new sw as spread j here that the Polish General Gielgud had ; entered the Prussian territory, the t'oun scllor of the district, M. d’Auers wand, went to Langollen, and requested the Geueral to re.pass the frontiers. The Gen eral replied that he had been forced to seek a temporary asylum in Prussia.— The authorities did not at first think of refusing him an asylum, hut it was soon : seen that, other Polish uud Lithunanian troops were approaching our frontiers : |*lliey were the commanders'of Gielgud's corps. Animated discussions took place between thedittercntchicfs of these troops 1 during which an officer blew out General j Gielgud's bruins. 'Phis murder excited j the indignation of the Polish troops, and the most complete disorder reign amongst I them.” •' Pakis July 27.'—The news from Po land is sti 1 too contradictory to-day to enable a positive opinion to lie formed up o!i tha operations of the tw o armies. A letter of the 17th states that Rus sians did not pass the Vistula no;ir Plock. Other letters of tlie iGth affirm on the contrary, that this passage was efi'ected and even mention several points of the left bank ot it as being already occupied by the Russian troops. II Marshal Paskcvvitscji has decidedly passed the Vistula, a manunivre would entirely cut off his communication with | Russia: there is no doubt that the sup-: port of the Prussian Government is as- J sured to him. With the frontier of Bos nia in his rear, he will receive, provis ions and munitions by two high roads: that of Thorn to \\ arsaw, and that of Posen to the same capital. This man oeuvre of the Russian army is the most unfortunate which could happen, and should the Poles he defeated, it will be, ow ing to this position. Bn the other hand. General Gielgud I has just been assassinated by a Polish of ficer, at the moment w hen he was lay ing down his arms upon the frontiers of Eas tern Prussia. It is added, that Clila-. pow ski was also forced to retire from it. Warsaw'. July 18. —On the 14th Gen. Chrzanski was attacked by Rudiger s corps on this side of Minsk, 5 miles from War-saw. The Russians wore obliged to retreat, followed up by the Poles ; the loss to the Russians was in killed and wounded 3000 men ; the Poles have tak en 10 officers and 900 men prisoners. ! captured 1000 muskets, one cannon with j the horses belonging to it, baggage, j Ac. The loss to the Poles in killed and j wounded is trifling. Field Marshal Paskew itch's main ar my encamped between Lissno and Kikal on the 12th, and ou the same day a great part of it passed the Vistula, between Warsaw and the Prussian frontier. A great number of barges have arrived, for the use of the Russians, from Thom, from which tlioy are constantly receiving the necessary materials lor bridges, as well as provisions, Ac. of every kind. In consequence of their having passed the Vistula they have lost all communication by the road by which they arrived.— The whole tract of the country between Modlin and the Prussian frontiers is in the possession of the Poles. One of the feats of the. Russians must he observed.— In Sienjne they broke open Church, robbed it, and left the Cholera in the place. The above’is official, and sign ed bv bv Skrzvnccki, but is only an ex tract. The Polish head quarters have been since the army left tow n at Modlin, but they have again passed the bridge at that place, and the head quarters are now at Brynzicki. The Poles arc at Sachaczew, and neighborhood, so that we may ex pect hard fighting on that side of the tow n. The'field of battle from Minsk to Kaluzxa. is completely covered with dead bodies. Skyrnccki himself has joined Chazanski, and w as fighting with the Russians (Friday and Saturday.) hut no certain details as yet are known. It is said several more prisoners and 3 nieces of cannon are taken. All your letters have been miw ilamy m-iix-e 1 received them. This must have been done in Prussia. 'General Rozinecki has had the audaci ty to w rite to the Cainmander-in-Chie! to say that he can now treat w ith Paske w itschi ; hut, should he not w ish to do so, then he might with him (Rozinecki.) lie would be the mediator, being a good j Pole and 'patriot, of w hich his papers ! would convince them, if examined bv the * Polish Government. New batteries arc still being made, so tli at, if tlir Russians attempt to enter Warsaw by force, there would be a dreadful havoc among them. The Commander-in-Chief has written i a letter to the King of Prussia, inform ing him of the abuses liis Custom bouse officers commit in assisting the Russia.is, ! Prussia being a neutral country ; but the King sent his letter back, saying lie could not acknow ledge him. A person just arm ed from Podolia says, news liad arrived of an insurrec tion having broken out in the Ore Gov ernment. It would appear from these statements that the insurrection in Lithuania is put down, and thattlfc Russian forces will again descend towards the Rug and inarch upon Warsaw onthePraga side, whilst Paskewitscli will attack tirat capi tal by the left hank of the V istula. A hundred and fifty thousand men will perhaps soon be assembled round the he roic city. Rut the Poles, as a compensa tion for superior numbers, will have the advantage of a central position, anil of a broad river separating the he ieging ar my in two. Tliey may still be able to overpower the enemy’s corps separately, as they have already done at Grochow and Wawcr. It is lamentable to think that so many heroic efforts should only end in bringing hack the Russians to the w alls of Warsaw, and that Poland is a lmutto try her last state. The sympathy of the popple is e\ ident. but the Cabinets who guide the people repress their gen erous enthusiasm. h’rnm the JloniGi" Herald of July 50. \Y e received last night the Piu.s pa pers of Wednesday and Thursday. That capital had already entered upon the coni'iiemoration of “the glorious days of July,* hut mi a way to remove from the minds of the timid, all fears of unpleas ant results, and to reassure the real friends to the revolut ion against all dis c red i table eonsequenees. Wednesday had been dedicated to mourning for the slain; the whole poiiulatidn of Paris, therefore, appeared, bearing marks of their sympathy and respect for the occa sion. The King, attended, by the whole of his Uoiirt. took a conspicuous part in the national rites, and assisted at the founding of edifices v\ jiicharc to. serve as more lasting testimonial to the great triumph; and generally the evening of that day, to which our accounts reach, had closed in upon the solemn ceremonial of he morning in a peaceful grave, and hemming manner.—Amongst the acci dents to tiie spectacle was the appearance of Don Pedro, the ex-Einperqr of Brazil, wlo was seen riding hv-the King's side, aisl seeming to share with him, strange so it may seem with his fallen fortunes, in the sensations wnich the occason sug gested. 11 is “Imperial Majesty ” —a ti tle which the .Monileur rather pertina ciously gives as often as it alludes to him —seem to have so completely suited his features to the atmosphere of Paris upon this day of grief, that' the Parisians, whose sorrow is seldom so absorbing as to spoil their joke, declared that he was “the very model of resignation,”—no small compliment, by the way, pour wn Rio dccliu. The next day was to he one of universal rejoicing. Hut the people out of doors seem upon this affecting occasion to have set an ex ample of harmony which has been hut ill imitated* by their betters w ithin. The contest concerning the Presidency of the | Chamber of Deputies is still carried on with an acrimony w hich reflects no credit upon the Ministerial party. M. Lafitte, the man to whom the revolution is more indebted than to any other—or at least he w ho has lost most, for he has risk- j ed and lost his all by it— is not only un generously anil unconstitutionally oppos- j ed in his fair claim to the Chair of the j Chamber, but the most foul means have i been resorted to by the Ministry to im-! pede his access to it. The Chamber of Deputies met on the of July, when the King of the French delivered the following speech. Npeecli of (lie liinig of I'raucc. Chamber of Deputies— Saturday. As early as eight o'clock in the morn ing the crowd assembled round the Chamber, the doors of which were not opened till noon : the first rows of the re served galleries were occupied by ele gently dressed ladies : the gentlemen I were seated behind. The hall was fitted lup in the same manner as for the royal j sitting in 1830. On the right and left of the throne, which was erected in the place of the President’s bureau, were seated the Dukes of Orleans and Ne uiours. Below the throne, to the right and left, were the seats of the Ministers, and immediately below them the Mar shals of Fi ance. The seats of the Peers i were hut scantily occupied. YVe remark led Messrs. de Broglie, de Casses, Pas quier, Roy, Portal, the Duke de Choi jseui, Simonvilic, Talaru. Nr. The left i side, allotted to the Deputies, w as entire ly filled. Messrs. Lafayette, Guizot, I Lipin. Lafitte, Royer, Collard, Mau gniu. Ch. de Remosat, Theirs, V iennet. and a great many other Deputies, took thei l itiouu! nvnt.i* A great number of strange fares was observed on all the benches. Among'the i aw Deputies wo particularly remarked Messrs. Arago, Fourfredc, Merillious, Nc. r At one o'clock a salute ofartillery an nounced the arrival of the King : the Deputat ions went to meet him. The Queen, accompanied by her chil dren, and Madame Adela ide, was intro duced into the gallery reserved for her near that of the diplomatic body. Immediately afterwards the King dressed in the uniform of the National Guard, entered, preceded by tlie Deputa tions of the two Chambers, and followed by a numerous stall'. Cries of “V ivc le Roi” rose in the halJ. His Majesty, hav j ing uncovered, took his place on the throne, having on his right hand the Duke of Orleans, in the uniform of a Colonel of Hussars, and the Duke ol'Nc | mours in that of a Colonel of Lancers. The King, still uncovered, said to the Peers and Deputies, “ Gentlemen, he I seated.” He then put on his hat, and delivered the follow ing speech in a firm voice “ Messrs, the Peers axd Gexteemex Depctuss.” “I am happy to find myself amongst you, in the centre of this place where France has received my oaths. '‘Penetrated with the duties which they have imposed upon ine, I’shall always give effect to the national will, of which you are the constitutional organs, and 1 expect on your part the frank and entire co-operation which will assure to my government that strength without which it will he impossible to answer the expectations of the nation. “I have said,Gentlemen, that (lie Charter shall be a truth ; what 1 have said is accom plished, the Charter is the constitutional mon archy with all its conditions, loyally main tained, witlfall its consequences frankly ac cepted. (Lively applause.) “ It is true that by the uniform action of all the powers of the State, wc shall put an end to these prolonged agitations which feed Ihe guilty hopes of those who work for the return of the fallen dynasty, or of those who dream of the chimera of a republic. (Loud applause from the chamber here interrupted i his Majesty and loud cries of • Long live the King!’) Divided upon the object, they agree, however, in tiio will to overthrow, no matter at what price, the public order, founded by I the revolution of July, but their efforts shall be disconcerted or punished. (Fresh applause.) “ In calling me to the throne, France lias willed that the royalty should be national; it did not desire tout royalty should he pow erless. A government without strength would not suit the desire of a great nation. “I havejust returned from travelling in France; |he proofs of a Iff ction which 1 have received in •his journey have v< ry deeply touched mv heart.

(Bravos.) “ 1 shall hasten to diminish this burden as soon as I shall have acquired the certainty of] accomplishing it without compromising! tiie dignity ami safety ot France. “ This certainly will depend upon a gener al disarming. France desires this—theGov erumentsof Europe will feel its necessity,— the interests of all require it. “ i have the satisfaction to announce to you, that up to the present time 1 have not been under the necessity of employing all the resources which the Chamber had placed at my disposal. “Since the revolution of July, France has regained in Europe The rank which belongs toiler.

A treaty has terminated a controversy for a long time pending between two countries which have such claims for mutual-sympathy. “Our treaties have been concluded be tween the Mexican anj Haytian Republics. “AN these acts shall !>e communicated to you as soon as they have been ratified, and when the financial stipulations which they contain shall be submitted to your sanction. “ I have given neworders to our cruisers to secure the execution of the law of the last session, for the more effectual suppres sion of the slave trade. “As ssoou as f demanded if, the troops of j the Emperor of Austria evacuated the Roman ' Stales.

The independ ence of Belgium, and her separation from Holland, have been acknowledged by the great Powers. The King of the Belgians w ill not form part of the German Confederacy. The fortresses raised to menace France, and not to protect Belgium, will he d< molished. (Kong applause here again interrupted the speech.) A neutrality recognized by Europe, and the friendship of France, vili assure our neighbours an ■independence, of which we have been the first support. “ The power which rules in Portugal has committed outrages on Frenchmen—lt has violated against them the laws of justice and ! liuniamty ; toobtain redress vainly demanded, our slii|>s appeared before the Tagus.
