      LORD PALMERSTO-VS PROTEST . "etake the foliowin ! : from the Journal des Be rn ;_ ( f "London , Nm . 27 . __ Lord Palmerston vesterdav despatched to Lord _f onsonby , tbe English ambassador at _Vienna , ibe _Mest against the coup d' tint tliat has fallen on . acow . In this document , rather long , a _> d written "I tool terms , Lord Palmerston reasons on the _hjpo-J _' -S's that tbe usurpation of Cracow is as yet hut _^ eetcd , and adduces argument- * to show tbe inconu _ieaces ° f such a nroceedinc .

      o rs are persons of the country , or they onie from utside . la the second case , it is not Cracow , but powers their . selyes who are to be blamed for it ; since then- _terr-cory incloses on all sides that of the republic In _thefirst case _isitpossible to believe that a city ; like Cracow would refuse three powers like Prussia , Austria , and Russia , to put down eonsniracies , and cut short intrigues , for which these powers would then have so just a cause for complaint ? And if it was foolish enough to refiife _, what difficulty could these three powers ever meet with , when torctd to exact justice for themselves , within the terms of the tr . aties ? Such is nearlv , it is said tlie protest ol the Minister of _Forei-in Affairs of Great Britain . A copy of this document was also iorwarded to Lord _Kormanbv , to be communicated to M . Guizot . "

      Although no _auOientie copy of ihe _« ' Protest" has yet appeared , we have no doubt that the above is substantially correct . Weare fortified in the belief from the fact- that the Chronicle in _quoting the above fmm the n , bats , offers not » word of contradiction or correction , except as regards the date , the Chronicle asserting that " the Protest was sent ott ' hy Lord Palmers on several days before the 26 th . " The abive make-believe piece ot fudge is then the m ' serable sequel to the big words mouthed hy Lord Palmerston in the last sc-sion of Parliament . Let our reader . * : consider the humbug of Lord Palmerston pretending to treat the question of Cracow ' s extinction " hypothetically , " when , at the time the _Protoi was written , it was notorious to all Europe , and announced by Austria officially , that the _impendence of Cracow was at an end .

      We come now to more important , because honest " protests , " the protests , not of dishonest governments and _juggling statesmen , but of the people . In the first place , we give the

      ADDRESS OF THE CENTRAL POLISH COMMITTEE OF PARIS . " The republic of _Cr-icow has ceased to exist ; the treaties ot ISio have been insolently violated ; the last _vestige of Polish nationality has disappeared by the fact of a moustrous usurpation . When the har . d nf oppressors tears the compact imposed by the oppressors _themselves , it is not merely to civilised governments alone that suck a violation of all rights dictates their sacred duties ; nation * " have also theirs . The tacit indignation of all honestnien is not enough ; ii , is the energetic and unanimous protest ol lice nations that ought to reply to the attacks of despotism , and to warn it that if the justice of nation "* sometimes slumbers , it has , sooner or later , a terrible

      awakening ! _tracow is _liolom-cr anything but an Austrian city . The three powers , co-sharing , have fust perpetrated their last " crime against the nationality " of Poland ; but this crime has increased , from one * end of Europe to the other , the indignation which at Ions intervals was excited there by the partition of 1772 , the reaction of 1831 , the massacre ot 1 S 16 ; and more thau ever confidence may be felt iu the future prospects of that nationality . It is impossible at present to raise up Cracow , if Poland , in its totality , be not raised up too . Poland , of which the ruin lias been so audaciously proclaimed in the face of Europe , and particularly of Fraiice , whieh has sworn by the organ ol * ber three great powers that tbe Polish nationality should not perish ! The

      republic of Cracow , the last resiiug-place ot the country , still alarming the powers , and they cast her ashes to the winds . It remains henceforward proved _, that thc treaties of A _' ienna , on which the balance of power in Europe was definitively said to he founded , was nothing but a deceit —a fiction _whish for a length of time , could no longer mislead any one . Austria , Prussia , and Russia , in favour of whom these treaties wore drawn up , show , iu _violatin- ; them , what attention Europe ought to pay to them . Poland , with the national and independent institutions which an article of tbe treaty of Vienna had promised them , deeply disquieted , sixteen years back , the co-staring powers ; ana therefore , after the revolution ot "Warsaw , the Czar hastened to tear up the

      _constitu-tionotjPoland . Cracow preserved all thetiaditions if the country that was lost ; and thus , after having stilled in blood the last cry ol . independence , the three usurpers at present hasten to annihilate thc last _vesiigs of Poland , which a principal article ot the same treaties of Vienna , however , called a free city ! Henceforward , there is no alternative possible ; either absolution must predominate in Eur _*> pe _, or else liberty . France represents , in the eyes of the world , the cause of l'bcrty ; she is pledged to the sacred cause of Poland by her principles and her promises—by the principles of her revolution , and by tbe promises of her Chambers and of ber government . These promises are a sacred guaranteea guarantee which we cannot withdr . _-iw ; for it was

      on our part not only a proof of sympathy , but an act of gratitude . Let us , in fact , go back to the European crisis caused by the movement of July , 1 S 30 ! Let us call to mind the dangers caused to France by that crisis' An impious crusade wasthen resolved ou against France by the absolutist powers . Russia had already her advance-guard and her main army . The advance-guard was Poland herself , but at the moment of departure , ihe advanced guard , as the illustrious General Lafayette remarked _^ in the Tribune , turned against tlie main army . War , whieh at that period we then thought inevitable ;

      war , which menaced our institutions and the ne wdynasty , jMrticidarl y the new dynasty , was conjured away by Poland . And besides , we repeat it , this is not alone tbe cause of France , it is that ol all nations , she cause of justice and liberty ! Thc Central Poli- * b Committee cannot and will not keep silence in the face of the new iniquity with which the _"Northern Powers have sullied themselves . It is in thc name of justice and liberty , in the name of nations themselves , that it joins its protest to that of the whole _civilized world . * ' For the Committee , " Count de Lastetiue , President .

      THE DEMOCRACY OP _FliAA'CE TO TUE DEMOCRACY OF EUROPE . " The last wreck ofa vast empire , whieh for ages finned a barrier of civilisation , menaced by _Mussulman barbarism ; a single spot spared from the odious rapine of the three powers , accomplices in the destruction of a great people , still recalled its memory , like those funereal crosses erected in places where a murder has been perpetrated . This wreck has just disappeared , this cross the murderers have oveiturned . Instead of tbe Polish flag , which , under the guarantee of the most solemn treaties , _flyated upon the walls of Cracow , Austria , thatsanie Austria which owed to Poland her safety in an extreme danger , has substituted its own , encouraged to

      the crime by the impunity of former offence * , and l > y one of those bargains for mutual assistance winch brigands make in thc depths of their caverns . All the clauses ofthe treaty of Vienna had already been insolently violated by Russia . In concert with her allies , and for tlieir common object , she had already almost _conrummaied the abolition , of Polish nationality . And by what means , what violences , and what crimes was this consummation elfectGd ? Deeds , such as history ean offer no other example of , and whieii , perhaps , hereafter , she will refuse even to believe . ' To recall even briefly those infernal scenes with which three sovcricgns have friehiencd mankind , would lead us far beyond thc limits of this document . It would be necessary to follow

      executioners through scenes of carnage perpetrated in the silent fortresses of Prussia , in the dark dungeons of Austria , in the deserts and mines of Siberia , upon public places transformed into slaughter-houses ; into tiie homes of each family weeping the exile or tbe death of those dearest to " them ; weeping for their country aud their religion , and forced to renounce the very language of their ancestors . It would be necessary to show a Government which dares to call itself Christian , urging one entire class of its _subjects to the inasacre of another class , without dis _' . inction of age or sex , by the offer of an infamous bribe , after bavins first deceived and brutificd them . It would be necessary to paint fire and murder spread over a whole country which wns converted , by the

      premeditated design ofits Government , into one tomb , ft would be necessary to relate how among those who have survived this universal _assassination , arc found more than three hundred miserable little creatures under three years old , incapable of telling who they a _,-e , _ without father , without mother , without known relative , the foundlings of blood . The French democracy believes it to be its duty to protest against these execrable crimes ; to protest against all the acts of which the avowed object has been the final destruction of Poland ; to efface the very name of this people , so glorious and so unfortunate , from the maD of Europe . The French democracy believes it to beits duty to call for similar protestations from all those who think that nations ought not to be

      _abandoned as the prey of violence , who , out oi France share the sacred principle of its revolution ; of all those , in a word , who are animated by a sense of justice and humanitv . Let them rise in their strength , and in the firmness of an irrevocable revolution , htthem rise as one man , and say to the oppressors , whatever name , be it despotism or aristocracv thev assume , Wc render you thanks . In tearing the fast veil with which you enveloped yourselves vou have dissipated the last illusions ol tco trusting minds , you have removed thc last pretext for inaction from the timid and the weak , you have

      hastened vour ruin and accelerated the fall of your _detested reign . There exist sinister pacts which you called treaties , under tiie shade of which were concealed your plots against the humanfamily , which you _defined to one eternal slavery . You have yourselves torn these treaties . Positive law exists no longer . As to natural law , that imprescriptible right which secures to each people as to each individual its properexistence , you proclaimed tbat you discard it . The right of force is the only one that you acknowledge . Let force then decide between you and us . In the mad pride of your material power , which vie fear not , because we trust in another

      power— -in thc power of true right and of duty—you declare war on all nations , on society itself , _v-hit-h exists only in virtue of duty and of right . B _* ii so we accept this war . War on conditions which , "snakes it holy is victory for us . Were it otherwise God would not be God I Doubtless there will h & _onrty i _%

      DEMOCRATIC POLAND TO TUE FRENCH DEMOCRACY . " The _assassins of Poland , by tearing asunder the treaty of Vienna , have thrown the gauntlet to Europe on the last remainder of our fatherland . ** liemccratie prance , now as faithful as ever _t-. the duties which the holy revolution accomplished by her fathers had imposed upon her , has armed herself with the weapon of her right to he tho first in the onset , and has answered the challenge .

' - In the name ot democratic Poland ( and there is no other Poland in existence , ) we offer to France the indissoluble alliance of a natl . n which has never dect-ired the hopes of her allies .

      " You have seen Poland proteiting with arms in hand on a hundred battle-fields , and so you will sec her again ; she is preparing for new _struggles , am ! that last iniquity , by inspiring her with- new energies , will have only hastened her deliverance . " Henceforth the treaty of Vienna has ceased to exist for Europe ; this deed of spoliation which never was obligatory with Poland , has been torn in pieces hy its very authors .

On Sunday , the 29 th of November , that day heing thc anniversary ofthe Polish Revolution of 1 S 30 , a number of Polish Refugees , assembled at Sussex Chamber ? , Duke-slrect , St . James ' s , under the presidency of Captain Jabhmski , when several resolutions were adopted , including the following : — 1 st . —Proposed by Mr . Wiercinski _, and seconded by Mr . Prusinowski" That the assembled Poles having found a hospitable refuge : in England , r . ud _t-njnyiiij ; the blessings of freedom in that country , Hliero they can publicly express their own feelings nnd those of their oppressed brethren , do not cense _t-. protest most solemnly ogainst that _puriition of their fatherland by the three despots of Ilussia , Austria , and "Prussia , considering it , as well as every act connected vi ith it , down to the incorporation of Cracow

      with Austria—which is the last deed of their long and _ignominious conspiracy—as a _flagrant and atrocious robbery . They denounce it ai injurious to humanity and to the ' safety of the liberal institutions of ** . m > _pi- ; and they warn and entreat , in the name of _civilization and liberty , all concerned in the preservation of tiietri _, to Tindic . 'ifc their sacred rights thus _outraged by the execrable policy of the spoliators of Poland . That , faithful to the cause for which they took up arms on the _21 H _1 ) of Kovember , 1 S 30 , the Poles are ever ready to sueriiice their lives for it , thereby to advert the imminent danger with which Europe is at ihis moment threatened , in thc confident hope that the interest of the enlightened countries of Western " Europe , and the interest of other . Slavonic nations , will induce them to co-operate for the recstabli _.-diment of Poland among the free nations , in order that she may again become a bulwark against the incursions of Asiatic barbarism . "

      2 nd . —Proposed by Mr . Jackowski , and seconded by Mr . Tcrlecki . " That the Poles express their fecli _. isis of eontempt and indignation towards the Austrian Government for Us Iniquitous and treaeheroiu conduct in _Gulioia and Cracow ; that perfidious Government having organised and paid bauds of assassins , and incited the ignorant peasantry , to muirier the nobility and clergy in Galieia , threw afterwards the guilt ol * that crime upon the citizens of Galicia and Cracow , imprisoned the patriots who escaped the Knives of ihe murderers , proclaimed thanks to the perpetrators of those atrocitits for their fidelity io the throne ; and , finally , annihilated the It- public of Cracow , aud ineorporated it with the Austrian dominions .

( From the R' fonne , of November 30 . h . ) The _^ members of the Poli-h Democratic Soeiety , who reside in Pari .-., met to-day at one o ' clock , "in the lia . il of _thejAthenseum _, rue IJuchot , in _t-rJer to celebrate the anniversary of ihe Revolution of the 29 th uf _November , 1 S 30 . On this occasion , as in former years , the members of the Democratic Society were forced to content themselves with a purely Polish manifestation . Their meeting was numerously attended . Its proceedings were such as they ouaht to have beeu in presence of the recent blow inflicted on Poland : they were full of dignity , of firmness , and of hope in futurity ,

      MEETING OE TIIE POLISH DEMOCRATS IN LONDON . The Polish Democrats assembled in London on the lGih anniversary of the Revolution of 1830 , seeing that the recent efforts of their country are still imperfectly _apprecia'ed _, resolved to pay a just tribute to ihe cause of truth , as well as io th * - self-devotion of their countrymen , by making the following solemn declaration before Etidaud aud the world at _larjje : — I . That they consider the Revolution of 1830 , which they meet lo commemorate , merely as the beginning of a series of _eff-rts , on the part of Poland , to recover that independence of which the three partitioning powers had _treacherottslv depiivcd her : that

      as existence and lrctdom of action were fo her a necessary condition of fiil / illing- towards _lierself and mankind , the divine law of justice and _progress , _htr hist effort since the partitions must have been mainly directed towards independence , freedom , national strength , and , as a guarantee of _th-se . the integrity of national boundaries . Hence will this effort remain for ever ihe groundwork of every further and more perfect manifestation of our nat-onnl life ; but hence , also , the unavoidable necessity of not contenting ourselves with aiming at those objects of our former endeavour , but stamping our subsequent efforts with that new character , which national life lias assumed in its further developement .

      11 . ' 1 hut the insurrection of Cracow , as defined b y the manifesto of the 22 nd of February , 18-46 , was such further developement , _improvem-Hit , and progress ol the movement began in 1830 . That , although maligned by the enemies of pro * . Te _* s and popular ri ghts , it still iemains a hol y manilcstation _* -ol ' t ! : e national will , thought and feeling , and , although apparentl y destroyed by the snares of Prussian police and massacres of Austrian assassins , it lives in and swats the _hearts of ihe Polish people who are henceforth defermined to adhere in all future _strugoJes for their emancipation , lo the princi p les contained in the above-named manifesto . That , tlie revolution of Cracow , b y abolishing all privileges and class distinctions , by endowing * the agricultural classes with landed property ( a princi p le diametrically opposite to that lonimnnistic tendency <>• which it has been falsel y nccused ) has laid do . _wi the bi < is ofthe _fuliire life of Poland , has satisfied the

      _exigenciesofiiernurional existence , perfected the revolution commenced in 1830 , and thus proved herself to be advanced in tlie march of national _progression . III . That the Polish people , as a people , has not participated in ' the massacics perpetrated in Gallicia by the order ol * the Austrian government , paid by Austrian money , directed b y Austrian officers , spies and soldieis in disguise , and performed b y felons liberated for this purpose from Austrian jails ; that , therefore * , the Polish people has not . disgraced the _national name nor history , and consequently not forfeited its ri g hts to national sovereignty . That it was cot p opular revenge which _pi'cmptcd the assassins of the best Iriends of the _people , since the proscri p tion list , and the s ; _-ale of rewards for the heads of the

      murdeied , circulated by government-agents , contained especiall y such names and devoted such to _slaughter , as had for years , despite the opposition of _government , bettered to their utmost the condition of the people , and resolved to turn the serfs of their own estates into freeholders , and , making common cause with them , to battle forthe emancipation ofthe country . No , it was not . the _revenue of the people for oppression suffered at the hands of their landlords ; for it is a fact universally acknowledged and corroboborated by local evidence , that in no instance the peasauts murdered their own masters ; but that these murders were perpetrated hy hands of hired assassins , _gangers to the scene of massacre , to whom the peop le offered , in many _cass , a strong , and in some ,

      Tolasd. , - _ Onr Last Tbe Manifesto Of ...

      a successful , resistance . Still further . in defence of Polish honour , Poland ' s hopes , and of the cause of right and truth , we solemnly assert before the world the innocence of the people and the guilt of _iUetternich and Austria . These , and these only are answerable for the blood of the murdered in Gallicia , equall y as the Czars were for the deaths ofthe victims who fell tit Human and Praga . Therefore , we greet tlie entire Polish people as brothers . The nationality of Poland lias gained a great and sure foundation by acknowledging tlie rights of t . _lvc people ; and when Poland marshals her sons she must conquer , for since the manifesto of Cracow we have a fatherland that is no longer the country of a mere class , but also the fatherland of the whole Polish people . IV . Finally , we declare that Russia and Prussia

      are . equally with Austria , the murderers of Poland , the executioners of her children , and that those who suffer for the cause of Poland , under the dreadfuliuquisitions , on the racks , in the dungeons , and on the scaffolds of Russia nnd Piussia , are martyrs to the rig hts of their fatherland , equall y with those who perished in tho massacres , or by _thodocro-js ol Austria . We fiiithci- declare that the open or secret adherents of any of those governments who took part in the partition of Poland , are participators in their criminality , no matter under what disguise , and that these unnatural children of Poland deserve the greatest curse , who , availing themselves ot tlie public

      _indiirniilion against Austria , appeal to the meanest of passions , to fear mid selfishness , in order to allure their countrymen into the snares of 'Muscovite or Prussiun _jiolicy _. and thus strenghentheyokeol ' these two usurpers . This meeting nmreoverrcsolves to publish the above resolutions in tuo Knglish language , with a faithful translation ofthe manifesto of the 22 nd of February , from the Polish original , in tlio hands ofthe Centra ) Committee of the Polish Democratic Societ y , and a . li _.-t . of the principal murders committed m Gallicia by the Austrian Government . The meeting authorised tlieir President ami _Secretary to cany this resolution iiitoelfoct _, and solicit the English press to give publicity to the above . 0 -- ! - j --

      STATE OT * THE COUNTRY . Dcni . i : * , Nov . 28 . —The accounts from fhe provinces this _morning aro truly _alarminir ; outrages and destitution-arc both r . n tho _incre-is ° . In several loenllties the peasantry appear to he on the very eve of _iiwurreetion ; aiuiwhat _roiulers this state nf _-iiFnirs still more _alnrminiris the general armament of the people in the very districts where the scarcity and _sufl ' erintr are most pressing . The Kerry . _fiaw-nitterofthis day says that on "Wednesday a large body of people , numberin <; about five or six thousand , arrived in _Lis-towel , _shouting out " I * read or blood , " and proceeded in the greatest statu of excitement to attack the _ivni'khonsc , which is situated about an _En-jlisli half-mile from tliesqvKivo

      of the town , with the intention of forcibly _helpin-r themselves to whatever provisions they-might find within the _building . Fortunately the Rev . Mr . Maliony , the parish priest , was _engneed at the lime in th * : convent , which stands close to the workhouse , and , on perccivinn the vast multitude approach , he rushed out and threw himself into the midst , of them _, lie earnestly and vehement !"' reasoned and remonstrated , but in vain , until at lencth ilie Rev . _g- _'Vitlfiiian , overcome and _exluiustsd by e . _venioninnl nervous apprehension of the consequences that threatened to ensue , sank do ' _-vn and fainted . The people ot the neighbourhood , whohithcr'o were mere spectator . * , became alarmed , and , wiidly appealing to thc tumultuous _asscmbl-i-ie , asked them "Did

      they mean to kill the priest ? "' This appeal , backed hy the _sight before them of the reverend pa * ish priest ami minister of Heaven stretched in a faint , as if his spi'it had fled , in iiis efforts to dissuade then ) from their foolish and dansernus proceedings , had an immediate ? _IFecfc on their minds . Tbey forgot their hiiiKer , assumed a _s-idden calmness , nnd at _lon-ith departed quietly . The pom- unhappy people presented all the appearance of wan '; . Tlieir bodies ciir . il sca-cely be said to be clothed , and their pallid visages showed what raraces " aunt famine hud already made on their health and manly _vi-jour . Heaven only knows when these thiims arc to end . for it is to be feared we have yet scarcely seen even thc beginning of the misery that awaits our unhappy people .

The weekly expenditure in this county at _present is . Iain told , about £ 10 , 000 , and an insane roar for _movn Wi _. rk . About one-eight ofthe population are employed at road and other similar works , and all other employment entirely _nes-lecud .

      Xot one step made in the direction of a provision for _I'lipi'oduetii'o _L'lnployinunt , except thu _drainage , of large rivers . The amount of Iahour Is so great as to be heyond the control of the stall' employed , or indeed of any st _. iif . Enormous sums are _nastiiifr , without any adequate effect b ' _.-ilhr _prodin-ed ; and in a short time , even with this abuse , nearly every _useful road work that a country would require f . ir a century will ba completed , and _nost-p taken to provide other useful work , so that entirely usckss road ' .

I need nos say that such a syst- m U calculated to _britijj ruin on the country with no little celerity . Under iie present state of _leelir . _j ; among the peasantry , the coujfrcifnlioii of tiietn in large masses on the roailsis a great evil , and thc spread of _iih'sal confederacies is much facilitated .

      The minds ofthe great body of the people are entirely _abstracted from their industrial ptir . _* . uits ; and itis needless to say that if employed in the itupr . _ivcmciit of land the peasantry and sin ill _farnii-rs would he trained totlieir own works , and their minds _tngt _.-red in the consideration of subjects more ( _ksirable than those which , I ' fear , no w occupy them . I fissure you 1 am quite dispirited , as I cannot shut my eyes to the spread of tlie elements of extensive ruin around the eountry , and only two- _classes , one rushing with insane _eargcrucss _, and the other appalled , stup ' rtieil , and inactive , or unable to stem the torrent .
