The Ifouse oatipresentatiVelb was yester
day occupied. with the disoitision of the pe
tition.presented by Ir. Everett, in .relation
to the preservation efthe national faith with
the radials. Mr. Everett spoke about two
hours, , in, conclusion of the remarks which
-he had commenced on the previous Monday,
with a force, pathos and eloquence which
appeared to be felt and,appreciated through
out the House. His satire Ain the conduct
of our government, in violating the pledged'
faith of the country to tho Indians; was as
judicious as it was powerful; and the pictures
which he drew of Indian - sufferings and
feelings were natural, touching, and of ex
quisite keeping. He was followedhy_Mr._
Haynei. Mr. Belt then spoke, for about
two hours, laboring under indisposition,
which inducedlint at the end of that inter
val to give way; and the rule being dispensed
with; the Howe proceeded to act on Bills
lying bn the table for a third reading.
In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Smith, of
Maryland,, from the Committee on Finance,
reported with amendments the bills from the
House of Representatives making appropri

for certain fortifications of the United States
for the year 1831, was readthe third' time,
and passed.
The Senate having resumed the consid
eration of the bill making appropriations for
the support of 'Government for the year
1831, Mr., Taze well addressed the Senate at
length in favor of the motion made by' him
to strike out the appropriation for the pay
ment of the Commissioners who negotiated
the Turkish treaty.
Mr. Tazewell was „followed by Messrs.
Kane, Woodbury, and Livingston; the last
named gentleman however, after a brief ex
ordium, and at a late hour, yielded the floor
on a motion to adjourn.
In the House of Representatives Mr.
Verplatick, from the Committee on Ways
and Means, reported a bill for the purpose of
carrying into effect certain Indian treaties;
which was read 'twice, and committed to a
Committee of the. Whole on the State .
Union. •
The Speaker laid before the house several
'communications from public departments,
among which was one from the Secretary
to the Navy, on the subject of an appropria
tion for. Fort Delaware. The Speaker also
presented a message received from the Pre
sident, on the subject of the recent treaty
with Turkey, whicg was referred to the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. The Navy
pension hunt, bill was read a third time and
passed, as also were the biUs for regulating
the collection of imposts and ibr the relief

ry on the western waters was ordered tribe
engrossed fora third reading. The bill for
the relief of certain insolvent 'debtors of the
United States, was ordered also to be en

great interest. After the transaction ofsome
further business, the House adjourned.

THE POLISH REVOLUTION.
, It appear from the Problamation bf the
Russihn Emperor, and Manifesto that noth
-ing short of a full and tmeonditionalsubmis-
Bien, and the-exemplary punishment ofthe
-guilty, will satisfy the Autocrat. As to the
prevailing feeling of the Polish people; not
immediately within the influence and at: ,
°sphere of the Capital, the accounts are
widely different. For instance f amon
article.s representing the Pole& to I
actuatedT:y olio spirit, and that adipirit of
enthusiasm prevailed, in favor of the volu
tion, we have the followi •
• "The Poles appear t taking vigorous
pleasures for their defence, and the hostile
prepap.tions in progress had caused the
'Mdpication with Russia by the frontier
ofTerespoj and Brerse to be stopped. Some
of - the horses intended for . the Polish cavalry

RUSSIA.
The St. Petersburg Gazette, of Dec. 21.
contains the following:—"The G rand Duke
Constantine, by a letter dated 13th inst, ac
quaints the Emperor with his arrival on that
day within the government of Volhynia,hav
mg passed the Bong near Woldawa;with all
the. Russian guards that came with him from
Poland. The treason and defection,of the
greater part of t h e Polish troops rendered
it impossible for His Imperial Highriess to
remain in that kingdom, and he effected his
retreat by
_Pulawy and .Lubrstoff. The
Grand Duke adds that at the moment of
sending offhiadespatch, the Polish Minister
of Finance, Lubeckie, and Count Jezeirski,
arrived at Warsaw, on their way to St. Pe•
tersburg, and had waited upon His Imperial
Highness."
HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.
There are pretty strong indications, that
hostilities will re-commence between Hol
land and Belgium. The troops of the King
are gathering towards the line. A letter
from Bois la Due, Jan. 9, says:-=--"The van
guard, under the command of Gen. Boreel,
arrived yesterday at Valkensward, Rieth
bven, and Dommelin. The main body, un
der the - Duke of Saxe-Weimar, consisting of
seven battalions and five squadrons, will be
in the environs of Edinhoven to-day. The
brigades of infantry are under Colonel de
Posson. These troops have batteries of
horse artillery. The reserve is under Col.
Klerck, and will, it is said, for the present
occupy Telberg.".
:.. ,• - ;•• : roops were expected in E
dinhoven in a few days. A letter from Paris, .
Jan. 12, says: <,
"Our intelligence from Brussels Is all : •
announcing the prevalence of the French
party. The Congress is menaced with a .
popular insur • 'on in favor of union with
France. TO ll clearly take place if the

accepted the fortress of the Netherlands.
The sqn of the King 'of Ba
varia, it is underkiiod has be4n recommend
ed by the fin: powers as, the future king of
Belgium. The'Cocii4er states that he had
been previously proposed and accepted as a
fit sovereign for Greece, and that his fami
ly had consented to his going to that coun
try; in which case Cape di . lstrias would
have acted as Regent duri "minority.
It is said that the English abi t has made
iitr i;
great efforts in favor or t rince of Saxe
Coburg. The subject c used a warm dis
cussion among the Ministers of the great
powers. It is said that the French' Ambasz
sador opposed the elaction of this Prince with
se - mutt Vv - tirmthitixt perseverance;as - nent - -
ly to-cause the, negotiation to be broken off.
~ SWITZgRLAND.—The troubles in
Switzerland were on the increase. News
from Basle (Switzerland) of the sth January,
mention a most-serious revolt of the whole
peasantry. The citizens were resolved to
'resist, and a most serious conflict is expected;
8000, armed peasants s u rrounded the town.
Every thing upon the &Ulu.° breathes
• 1 1 I vt: II for the present:lt
is stated that the reception ortheltiiisian
Ambassador, Pozzo di Borgo, by the King
.f the French, on occasion of the Minister's
presenting his letters of credence, was of the
warmest and most cordial kind. The Count
is an old personal acquaintance of the King.
The Emperor of Russia desired his Ambas
sador to assure the King o(his most favor
ble attachment, as well as his strongest de
sire to co-operate with him in maintaining
the general peace. \ of Europe:. Pozzo di Bor
go was afterwards received by the Queen
and the younger branches of the royal fami
ly. The King had also received recent
communications from the Austrian court
which bresbe the spirit-of peace; - arid all
those who have .confidential access to the
. ace_are_desired_by the royal ihmily to
disseminate the assurance, that therisis the
best reason to believe that the peace of Eu
rope wiil not be disturbed. The Duke de
Mortemart sat out .for St. Petersburg on
Sunday week.
On the other hand it itttid in a letter
that, at the pikmde,when the mere: Nich
olas made known to ,his troops the events in
Poland, turning on a sudden to the Ambas=
sailor of France, he said :—"lt is from your

STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.
The packet ship Sully hai arrived at N.
York from Havre, whence she sailed on.the
oth of January, and brought Paris papers
to 19th inclusive.
BELGIUM—RE-COMMENCEMENT
OF HOSTILITIES.
Another protocal of the five Great Pow
ers, relating to Belgium, has been laid be
fore the Belgic Congress, the purport of
which is that the measures taken by the
King of the Netherlands to obstruct the
navigation of the Scheldt are of a hostile
nature, contrary to the armistice and to the
previous protocal recognising and enforcing
this armistice. The five Powers, therefore,
demand the repeal of those meesures r and
add that they shall consider the rejection , of
the demend as an act of hostility against
themselves. With regard to Belgiarti, the
Powers require the troops to cease the hos
tilities begun at bkiestricht, and to return
to their former position by the 20th of Jan.
The Journal Belgique contains the fol
lowing item of intelligence in relation to the
affairs of Belgium:—"We learn from Ant
werp, under date of the llth- of January,
, that hostilities - appear to have re-commenecd
on all points. On Sunday a brisk cannon
ade was heard in that town, in the direction
of the north.r
The Hague Journal of January eth, con
tains the following:—"Hostilities have-re
commenced. This is no doubt fortunate.
From this moment the Belgians can have
no hopes Qf concession from us but such_as .
fame may make usgrant.. Diplomacy will
have gained nothing from us. This is the
essential point.. Notwithstanding the Con
,gresi at London, told all that may have M
ien from the Ministers fOr Foreign Affairs
in Prance on the subject' of tlie navigation
of. he Scheldt, the river is not in the least
degree more flee, for vie subniit to the dic
tation of no power. . Holland has maintained
the position to which she is , entitled, and
her Government has begun to display a
proper energy. Armed with the justice of
.our cause, we prefer taking the chances of
war to making concessions which might be
attributed to a sense of weakness. Let us
then f to-arms!"
The Paris Times of the 15th in speaking
on the choice of a King for Belgium, says:
"The answer of the French Government to
Congress. is positive. The Duke de Ne.
moots refuses the crown, and the Prince de
Keuchtenberg, if elected, will not be ac
knowledged by France."
The Constitutionnel has the folluvringr--:-
"Credible information leads us to believe
that the p rillca of Orange still preserves
some ho of the CreiVn of Belgium, and
is secretly supported by tbe Autocrat of the
North. On the other hand, we have-been
assured "fiat in the late eonferences at Lou
don, the Prince of Saxe Cobourg has again
been brought fokwird;- England, finding
that all oilier competitors have failed, has
again put forth, her own pretensions. It is
added, - that the French Ambassador makes
no opposition to the ciain;i, but this cannot
be credited; for it would be complete weak
ness on the part of France to perinit Eng
land thus to come to the very gates of the

. ,
In Ole mein time; the preparations onthe
part. of the Poles are-going on with vigor.
A regular army of 64,000 men has been
raised,. and arrangements have been made
tor increasing it. It has marched to the
frontiers, supported by ,a militia of 50,000.
Thc',Warsaw Gazette of the 81st ult. an
nottncerk that the Finance Committee, as
sisted by several members of the Chamber
of Nuncios, are occupied with the budget of
the Civil List, those of the Committees of
Public kw:ruction, and Justice and that of ,
the Attorney General. New batteries have
just been terminated at Praga. The works
for fortifying Modlin are pushed forward With
the utmost activity.
Since the publication here of the Russian
manifeitciian enthusiasm has been manifest
ed among all classes - of the 'people which
was not exceeded in the first wars of Polish
~
independence, and sustains the hope of suc
cess, if the forces which Russia- brings to
the contest should , not be too superior in
numbers and resources. They implicitly
obey tie Dictator, who enjoys the eritircir
confidence of the' nation. His constant ac
tivity. adds new strength to the army every
day which now amounts to sixty-four thous
and inen,who have marched for the frontiers,
supported by fifty thousand militia'. The
Poles took for
,no indulgence. The lan
guage of the Emperor is too formal for any
t
doubt e main that he will support it with
his w force , . The war then must be
bluodly nd accompanied with the most ca
lamitous' circumstances; for the hatred of
belligerent nations is carried to the highest
pitch. A want of provisions is already
felt.
The inhabitants of the country are no lesa
excited than those of the city. They repair
to the army - in detachments, armed with
pikes and pitchforks. They compose dis
tinct battalions,
which being well directed,
will prove very dangerous to the enerp. y.—
Their patriotism is still more inflamed by
the clergy. The people devote themselves
to the cause with more enthusiasm, more
absolute sacrificing of themselves,. than did
even the inhabitants of Paris. They labor
by thousands on the fortifications,not receiv
ing the pay allowed by the government, that
it may be employed in the equipment - lot' the
army.
The following is from the Grand Duchey
of Posen:-.—"The affairs of Poland are go.
ing on well. Enthusiasm pervades every
class of t ople, and the Jews and, peas
antry vie with the nobility in patriotism.
Before the end of January Poland .will have
150,000 armed men in hattle array, and
200,000 irregulars armed with piles and
Pistols. The'generat devotion IS admirable,
and the . sacrifices immense. Mdle. de Se
zanieckie, who, on the 20th of June, 1826,
sent to the Paris Committee 862 fr. for - the
Greeks, has given up the whole of her for
tune to her country, and has become a nun,
in order to devote herself to the care of those
who may be wounded in battle.
M. de St. Aignan has been charged byThe
King pt the Yrench with a special mission to
Switzerland.
Up to the latest sates the Chamber of
- Deputies was engaged in discussing the tub- -
ject of finance. The financial affairs of the
Kingdom are in a wretched condition. The
speech of Lafitte, in the Deputies, on he
13th, produced an unfavorablemilr u L L :io on ,
the Exchange. The Budget IraW' res
ents a ' defidiency of 50 millions, tui. the
Government announces the necessity. of re.
sorting to loans.
The news kohl Bergiinn Was occupying
the close attention of the French ministers.
The Belgians seem creferniined to obtain a
French King,either in the person of Louis
Philippe, or his second son, It is even pro
posed by the Belgic' Congress to declare
war against' Holland, and at the same time
declare "a union with France.
The Havre Journal of the 19th, contains
a letter Trom Paris of the preceding day,
which closes as follows :
ar know fiom a cow sdiracz, that the re
union of Belgium with France has been re
solved upon .in Cabinet Council—that we
shall have a war for which Francewill make
preparations, and for which she is even now
prepared."
There is no good ibundatfon for this as
sertion, at the present Moment. There is
no doubt that the present Ministry is trek
ing every- exertion to avert a war, but while
they deprecate hostilitieti, they ale necessa
rily preparing for, them. They Rave even
refysed to receive the Polish Envoy, sent to
solicit assistance.
Marshal Soult declared, on the 14th, that
he was ready and preparedfor war t in case
of necessity. ,
A letter from Paris, which we havaseen„
states; that disclosures have proved the late
change in the British Cabinet to have been
most opportune for France: arrangements
having been agreed - to, as is believed, fbi
the assembling on the Spanish` frontiers of
80,000 Spanish troops, 30,000 English and
as many Portuguese under English officers.
