GREENOCK, March 22.
Poln > I. —Extract of a letter in the Mor
al i_ Cara ncle:—“J had concluded my
letter wiK-ti 1 received the most gratify
ing intelligence from Poland! 1 have
learnt from an gye-witness that the Rus
si iis .ire ot conquerors—that the Poles
are .'o itident and prepared for the enemy
—that the moral state of the Polish army
is the finest i uaginable—that the Rus
sians fear a;iotl* r general combat—that
the Poles will not surrender—and that
the cause is not only not lost, but is look
ing better than ever.”
A long official bulletin has been pub
lshed at Warsaw of the battle of tire 25th
of February. It states that the cause of
the retreat of the Poles to Warsaw was
owing to the thaw having commenced,
and that the General feared the breaking
up of the ice would have carried away
the bridge, preventing all communica
tion, an 1 depriving the army from receiv
ing supplies. It estimates the loss of the
Russ-ms, since they entered Poland, at
39,0 Ml naan hors de combat, in killed,
Won..i?e.l, prisoners and sick. The Pol
ls - ir»av has taken up a position round
Wars rw guarding the Vistula and the
bri-lg,* of l’raga, waiting with impatience
the signal for new combat.
LONDON, March 19.
G'-rm in papers to the 12th rnst. reach
ed us this morning, hut they do not com
ma in: Ue any material fact.—According
to a letter from Cracow, the Polish army
h i I [gated the right hank of the Vistula
on • Ist inst. after setting fire to Praga,
bu v b'-In.OOO men to defend the tete
dt -p mt. The number of wounded men
in V rrsaw is stated to amount to 18,000,
and 'here is scarcely a private house
which does not contain some.—These
pipers lo not give any further accounts
respecting the insurrection in Italy. A
private letter from Milan, however, says
that the Austrian troops had not yet
•entered Parma and Modena. It is
stated from Mayence, that the Plenipo
tentiary sent from the Netherlands upon
the subject of the free navigation of the
Rh i te, had yielded to the objections
made bv the French Government; and it
was considered probable that the trenty
with that object would be speedily con
cluded- i
j FRANCE.
The French cabinet has been modified
in pretty nearly the sense anticipated by
the Alessager des Chambres of the 13th
mst. M. i aritte has quitted the Cabinet,
and is replaced as President ot the Coun
cil by M. Casitnir Perrier. As Minister
of Finance, he is suec«*eded by Baron
Louis. Montalivet, Soult, and Sebasti
ani remain. The retirement of M. La
fitte has been long expected, for how
could be, after the public acknowlegment
of his pecuniary difficulties, be consider
ed a fit person to hold the important of
fices of President of the Council and
Minister of France? M. Casiinir Perrier
is also a banker, and he has been a spec
ulator—so far his appointment would lie
objectionable, hut M. Perrier is a man
of undoubted wealth, the owner of large
estates, and the head of an extensive
slaem engine manufactory, so that he is
deeply interested as land owner, and a
member of what the French call “la
classe industrielle,” in the maintenance of
peace with other countries, and in the
repression of internal faction. M. Per
rier, therefore, appears to be a very tit
President of the Council at the present
moment, altho’ we do not think that he
has energy enough to retain that post
long in a country in which Ministerial
changes are almost as frequent as lunar
revolutions. Baron Louis is a man of
experience as a financier, without much
pretension as a politician. Ilis private
and public characters are alike respecta
ble. M. de Rigny is already advantage
ously known to both countries. He is a
man of energy—an enemy to anarchy,
but a true friend to rational liberty. Al
together the change bodes no ill to
France: whether it will produce much
good is another question.
POLAND.
By a letter from Frankfort, it appears,
that up to the last accounts the Russians
had not ventured to renew their attacks;
but the resources of General Diebitsch are
so numerous, that no reasonable hojie of
success can he entertained by the Poles.
Surrounded on all sides by enemies—
without the means of recruiting their loss
of men, or adding to their material—their
situation is desperate; hut dismay, evCn
in ruin, does not seem to have reached
them. Their heroism is of a brighter
hue than that of the best days of the an
cient Romans, for they had the pride of
past triumph and the fair chance of new
conquests, to encouage them. The Poles
have only the remembrace or glorious de
feats iu past straggles for indpendence,
and the prospect of annihilation in that
which is now waging. It must be true
patriotisin, indeed, which leads them to
shed their own blood, in the hope, and
not a vain one, that their heroism will
one day rise up in judgment against their
oppressors, and prepare the way for the
freedom of a succeeding generation.
NETHERLANDS.
The Belgians are proceeding in the
career of independeuce. The Regent
has issued a proclamation to the inhabit
ants of Luxembourg, in which he tells
them that he will keep his oath to preserve
the integrity of Belgium. “We began
our revolution,” says the President, “in
spite of the treaties of 1815: we will fin
ish it in spite of the protocols of London.
Luxemburghers! remain united and firm.
In the name of Belgium accept the assur
ance that your brethren will never aban
don you.” It remains to be seen in what
way the new French Ministers will at
tempt to effect a settlement.
LONDON, March 16.
The Bombay Courier devotes two
columns to the question of receiving in
India the cotton twist of the Pacha of
Egypt and the manufactures of the Uni
ted States at the present duties, or wheth
er they should not he prohihted (bv high
duties,) to give to the mother country
the entire trade. The competition is
represented to be unfavorable to this
country and the Bombay merchants are
already sending memorials to govern
ment on this subject. The Bombay
Courier concludes the long dissertation
with a protest against new duties “that
the East Indians are not to be taxed to
support the starving manufacturers of
Lancashire and Yorkshire.”
In this liberal and enlightened period
the spiritual Sovereign of the Catholic
world has shown that lie can appreciate
his situation and his age, The prede
cessors of the present Pope Gregory XIV.
have always shown a reluctance to con
firm the nomination of Bishops made by
the new Governments of America, from
the double fear of dipleasing the Court of
Spain and of giving a sanction to revo
lutionary principles. His Holiness, dis
regarding these scruples, proclaimed, in a
consistory held at Rome on the 23d ulf
Bishops to the sees of Puebla de los An
glelo, Guadalajara, Valladolid, Durango,
and Sonora, in the united states of Mexico,
appointed by the Government of that
Republic.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, March 15.
Custom Duties Hill.
The house resolved itself into a com
mittee on the customs duties bill.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said
that it was his duty now to carry into ef
fect hts proposition for imposing a dutv
on imported cotton. This duty would
not compensate for the loss which the rev
enue would sustain from the repeal of the
duty on printed calicoes. However, when
he considered the improved state of the
revenue at present as compared with last
year, he had no hesitation in saying that
the amount of revenue would he amplv
sufficient to meet the exigencies of the
state He was aware that it was diffi
cult to argue a priori that a tax was n
1 good thing, but he hoped that und< r the
I circumstances of the case, the house
would permit him to impose this duty.—
He concluded with moving that “ It is the
opinion of this committee that a duty of
5s lOd be charged upon every cwt. of
cotton wool, and waste cotton wool, im
pelled from foreign countries"—agreed
to.

From the Portland Advertiser, April.a
Wonderful Escape. —Mr. Joseph Ad
am-. was last night awakened by the
sound of a loud noise which resembled
scuffling, groans, like one in the ag
onies of death, and tremendous crash
of Glass in the third story of his house
(Danforth-street) all of which appeared
to come from the chamber where his
son, about 13 years of age slept. He a*
rose from his bed to ascertain the cause
of this disturbance. His first sushicious
were that some fierson or persons had
broken into the house, who were at
tempting to commit murder or to plun
der property.
Air. Adams went up stairs as soon aa
possible into the chatnper occupied, the
room in some disturbance, and the win
dow sash broken to pieces. Looking
out of the window, he saw his child stand
ing on being spoken to anwserd in his u
sual tone of voice as thouhg nothing had
happened. The father ran down stairs
immediately, and found the hoy bleed
ing in both arms, approaching the front
door to enter the house. The first words
that struck the ears of the agonised pa
rent were “father my arms are broken.”
The boy was immediately taken into the
house; a physician was culled; and on ex
amination it appeard that the only injury
sustained was the laceration of the fleshy
part of both arms!
The account that the son gives, is,
that while dreaming, it appeared chat
some person had come into Ins cham
ber with the intention of murdering him.
Affrighted he jumped out of bed and
seemed to defend Ininself for a while
with a chair, and finding this defence un
succesful, and the cssailaut pressing on
ward with greater force, he made an at
tempt to escape by the window.
First, he run his arm through the glass
but the hole not being large enough to
jump through, he took the chair, and
beating the whole sash to pieces, un
mediatly jumped out of the third story
window to the ground. Strange to tell
not a hone was fractured. Though he
fell on a picket gate, and though the gate
was literally broken to pieces, yet the
only injury lie sustained was the lacer
ation ofhis arms. He is now doing well.
