The French Chambers have assembled,
and their sittings were opened by the King.
The speech from the throne is lull of deci
sion and energy. The attack upon the
Peertige is not recommended. The' Carlists
and Republicans are severely threatened.—
The fallen dynasty is referred to with affect
ed indifference, but with real apprehension.
The King promises the new bills necessary
to complete the c.oiistitutisnal monarchy, and ,
hints at a general disarming. He states '
that a treaty of indemnity has been formed
with the United- States, that Austria . has
evacuated the Papal States on his demand,
that Belgium will not belong to the German
ic confederation, and that the line of for
tresses looking upon France from the Belgic
frontier will be demolished. If. Leopold
consents to this measure, he will at once
give mortal offince to the Holy, Alliance, by
whom the fortresses in question were erect
ed, as a barrier against France- The king
boasts of the tri-color flag floating before the
waltrefLisbon, and states - that he has been
attempting a mediation in favor of the Poles.
The celebration of the three days had com
menced under circumstance& to banish all
apprehension of troubles during the anniver
sary.

'Well, in fact, is nothing else

Ai this oceasion, — supOrt, those
liberal principles abroad which we are
strenuously advocating at.home..'
The:Herald of the .2tOth says—Prussia
has, at length wholly ca.* aside the flitiisy
mask which she has hitherto worn with re
spect to Poland. A correspondent, upon
whose authority we can rely, last night
communicated to us the following statement:
"The Prussian Government at length un,
blushingly avows the foul partizanship to
Russia which it has hitherto scarcely taken
pains to disguise. It has just put forth a
declaration of intervention, which is nothing
less than a declaration of war against poor
neglected, but still magnanimous Poland.
In this 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 Ruisian army oe
its frontiers in Poland, with arms, anauni
4ion, and all the necessaries of war. It con.
eludes by stating if it does not at once pro
ceed to adopt more rigorous measures, it is
to lie understood as arising from the position
which it has at present taken up, which is
one of "inactivity" not neutrality.
Here, then, is the first direct departure
froth that system of neutrality amongst 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 Poland. But if Prussia,
-from-the-middle ground, advances upon one
side two paces towards Russia, why may
not other powers, without any violation of
the principles of treaties, advance two paces
on thB other, towards imploring, and,.. we
fear, expiring Poland? Is it that the ap
proach is to be eternal, that despotism and
oppression ever find willing and active sup
porters, whilst the cause of injured liberty
and• oppressed, nations never'meets with but
languid friends and sluggish champions ?
We Are - not sorrow_that—huisia-hatilhua
exposed itself; the _undisguised hostility of_
an enemy is better than the base treachery
of a pretended friend, and the holy cause of
Poland may require an accession of sym
pathy by the increased detestation which
this new act of baseness will produce a
mongst all the well-disposed people of Eu
rope, already too much disgusted with the
dotible-faced conduct of Prussia upon this
subject. Our correspondent hopes that the
change.of situation will not escape the--no
tice of our own Government, a hope in'
which we, averse as we are to see the-coon-'
try upon any account committed to a war,
warmly entertain. .The subject-4s, howev
er, worthy of their serious consideration.
The Courior of July' 30th, speaking of the
German papers of the 21st, says:—
"All that they contain, consists either of
contradictions to former statements, or Oth
er versions or reports previously given by
them.
A letter from Paris of the 27th of July
says:—"There is no news this morning here ,
from Poland; the Poles await the shock of
the reinforced Russian army with the calm;
ness of men who will perish but not submit.
Is there no place on earth from which a
voice can raise against the barbarian who
is.bringing tyranny and contagion into the
heart of continental Europe? Are the courts
so craven-hearted, as to look on while dis

Poland for external-aid are heart-rending;
but the heroes one and all declare t,hat they
Will perish on the funeral pile of their

The Lc — Mon - Sp, of the 30th, contains
the-following paragraph:--
"We have no other news of a military
character from Poland. Arhe4paigi_ armies

expect perhaps by Monday ot., Tnesday to

The plan was to be carried into eflect on

It is affirmed that, on . quitting St. Pe

crush the Polish insurrection, but without
charging himself with any responsibility in
case of failure. Thus it may be inferred,
from the well known character of the Field
Marshal, that in some way or other the war
is drawing to a close; for if he succeeds, he
as attained his end, and fulfilled his en
gagements, otherwise the Field Marshal
will be the first to act as mediator between
Poland and the Emperor ? and put an end to

By placing Count Paskewitsch at the
head of the army, Russia has staked all its
military glory; if the chances of war should
be lest favorable to the General-in-Chief,
than in. Asia, the brilliant era of Russia will

MEMEL, Ady 17.--The remains of Gen.

that this . fever at Smyrna, is now said to
