LONDON. THURSDAY, SEPT. 22. 11 B French Papers received to-day state that if Paris continues in a state of great excisemen!, "*■ but with no symptoms of any permanently dis- agreeable result. The National Guard, although strongly participating in the general sentiment res- pecting Poland, continue to niain'ain the | ublic peace, although with less exhibition of alacrity than usual. R THE FALL OF WARSAW.—STATE OF FRANCE.— Though we may deplore the unsettled state .of tilings Il the French capital, still we cannot wonder at it. it 18 the natural consequence of circumstances. The tri- umph of Nicholas is an indirect attack on the principles u| the French revolution, and could not fail to he vieive(l as such by the vainest and most restless people on earth. But it is worse than this. It is a disgrace to all European Cabinets—that of England among the foremost. What! have the Whigs and Liberals been declaiming for the last thirty years in Parliament anl1 Ollt of Parliament, in books, in reviews, in newspapers, about the infamous partition of Poland, for nothing? Have all their sounding apostrophies to freedom come to this—that might is still to oyercome right, justice and liberty still continue a mockery and a bye-wor d !>niong men? 0 shame, where is thy blush ? When, the Whigs and Liberals went out of office, who such "I'dent denounccrs of the wrongs of Poland ? now they j'J'e in, who so timid, so lukewarm, so undecided"? | hey are afraid, forsooth, of the power of Nicholas— 'wuhtful whether England be prepared to withstand the shock of his hostility 1 s it then come to this ? Is the power that could strangle the lion, unable to Kr;,pple rith the mouse ? Is England, that could crush Napoleon, afiaid to encounter Nicholas?—That the Whig Cabinet has had, and still has many serious dif- "culties to contend with, we grant; still, we can con- ceive none so serious, none so complicated, as to have prevented its interference on behalf of injured Poland. seasonable hint to Nicholas from the Cabinets of London and Paris would have settled the question at üncp, But the word has not been spoken—the hint has !lot been given, and what is the consequence ?■—War- saw h;is fallen, France is in a blaze, and the "begin- ning of the end" is at hand. Of the triumphant issue of that end we have not the slightest doubt. There itre two antagonist principles of good and evil, of 'feedom and slavery, now at work throughout the Con- tinent, and every successive indication betokens that good principle, will prevail The youth of Europe on its side; honour, intelligence, and liberality, hght under its august banners. Do what they ivill ay what tlieyf)lease-iiitri iie, lie, irDl)t-ison, ptinisli, torture, massacre, as they list-still the despots of the Continent must either fall, or consent to reign in ac- c°rdance with the wants and wishes of the age. Nor s''all the blood of the Polish,patriots he shed in vain from the smoking ruins of Warsaw shall yet spring VP a spirit destined to shake Europe to its centre.— Sun. The following are the details of the sacking of War- saw;— The refusal of the Polish army to capitulate, in 'v'hich they were supported by a part of the population, highly irritated the Russians, and tliev came to the assault with unexampled exasperation. They placed their scaling-ladders at so many points that the 24,000 Jiien of the Polish army were insufficient to protect the ^yhole circuit of the city. The first efforts of the Rus- sians were ineffectual and they were repulsed at every point. Their rage, however, redoubled, and, in some places, they raised mounds of their dead to fill up t'11' ditches. After thirty liotii-s of almost incessant tighting-, they filtered by a part of the walls which AJ'as not so well guarded as the rest. The Polish army ty(!n retired in good order, constantly followed by the Russians but a part of the populace still resolved to '°ld out; and here the scene became most horrible. A I:nost all who had taken an active part in the late Political movements defended themselves to the last, auù sold their lives dearly Their resistance redoubled tile fury of the Russians—neither women nor their in- fants were spared. It is said that the agents of several Powers interceded but the Field Marshal declared that it was impossible for him, at the moment, to res- traHI his troops on their first entering; he, however, Promised that they should be prevented from conti- nuing their plunder and violence. Almost every door that was not opened was forced, and all the horrors of War ensued.-Frcnclt Paper. GalignanVs Messenger mentions, that private letters rorii Berlin state, that the capture of the entrenchments ot Warsaw cost the Russians 30,000 men, among whom Were seven generals.
