.IMPORTANT. Scvc7itfcn days later 'from Europe. The arrival of the packet ship Napoleon at New York, has furnished us with London papers to the 24th of December, and Liverpool to the 25th; and by the Canada, Capt. Graham, we have receiv ed London papers of January 4th, and Liverpool of the5ih. The most interesting part of intelligence brought by these arrivals relates .to the sentence pronounced on the ex-Ministers of France, and the disturban ces which took place about that time among the people of Pa ris. The tumults began on Monday, the 20th of December and continued through the two next days. On Tuesday the disturbances seem to have been at their greatest height. Gen. Lafayette rode out on that day several times and addressed the crowds assembled in the streets. "The venerable pat riot," says one account, "assur ed them that justice would be done upon the prisoners accor ding to the laws of the land, but that vengeance should not be inflicted upon one of them by popular violence, until his life was first sacrificed in their defence." The people, as on the previous day, generally cheered their ancient champion; but some cried "Down with Lafayette." The old soldier remarked that liberty had ne ver been secured by a tumultu ous interference with the laws; and at length, when irritated for a moment by some hisses, lie exclaimed, 'Who arc you in that corner! I know the brave defenders of liberty, but your faces are strange to me; on the 29th of July 1 do not remember to have seen you at our barri cades." The sentence was pronoun ced on the 21st of December, but it was not promulgated until Wednesday, the 22d. Its pro mulgation diil not occasion anv increase of the disturbances, which shortly after subsided. There seems to be, however, much dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Government a mong the people. The stu dents of Schools of Medicine, of Law, of the Central School of the Arts, and the greater part of the students of the Polytech nic School, have published protestations, in which they re fuse to accept the thanks voted to them by the Chamber of Dc puties,,for their conduct during the disturbances in Paris. They complain that the Cham ber of Deputies has not ful filled the expectations of the people, that the promise of a popular throne and republican institutions, had not been kept; and that every citizen of France is not represented in the body where his interests arc discus sed. There is a difference, be tween the sentence on Prince Polignac, and that on Peyron net, Chantelauze, and G. Ran vine. They are all sentenced to perpetual imprisonment; but trie tormer is condemned to ci vil death, while the three latter arc legally interdicted onlv. The result of the trial of the Lx-Ministers is so far gratify mg, as it spares the effusion of Dioou on the scaffold. Tim particulars of their sentnnnn and removal to their place of imprisonment (the fortress of Ham in Picardy) will be found in another place. The fierce, though bloodless, disturbances in Paris, occasioned by an ap-1 ny thing from the present goy prehension that the ex-minis- eminent of France, which is nr ters would escape entirely, had only the effect of testing satis factorily the firmness of the N. Guard and its veteran chief, who declared in an order of the day, that he would "enforce or der at the risk of his life." Ha vinjj done so, and deeming the post lie held incompatible, as soon as the peril both of domestic and foreign assaults was passed, with his notions of constitutional liberty, he re signed, in opposition to the earnest solicitations of the King, the station of the Com mander in Chief of the Nation al Guards. His motives for this stop are explained by him self in his speech in the Cham ber of Deputies, & must at once discredit the stories told in some of the London papers, that it arose from pique; or that after declining the entrea ties of the King that he would retain the command, he went back at a late hour of the night to solicit it, and was then told it was then too late, General Lobau having it the mean time been appointed. Lafayette has finished as he commenced, by a noble sacrifice to principle. Poland. The insurrection has become general throughout the kingdom, and great enthu siasm has boon shown, even in some cases by females. The Jews have generally risen in arms. It is stated with confi dence, that the Emperor of Russia has determined to crush the rebellion, and has ordered an immense force to the fron tiers, 40,000 men were mar ching from St. Petersburg!!. Count Diebitsch has been, by an ukase raised to the shicf commander of the armies.. The Warsaw Courier has a report written by Peter Wize liski, Second Lieutenant of the Military School, giving a de tailed narrative of the origin and progress of the Polish re volution. "It appears," says the London Courier of the 31st of December, "that the conspi racy, out of which this revolu tion has arisen, was formed by himself and five other Lieuten ants, so far back as the 15th of December, 1828; that it gradually became more exten ded in numbers, and was seve ral times on the point of brea king out. 1 he recent explo sion was the result of a very short consultation among the persons to whom the direction ot the conspiracy had been confided. The accounts from Berlin state that on interview was expected to take place at mi i . morn oetween two iVIonnrchs who are very closely united. It was reported that a proclama tion of the Emperor of Russia, expressing his determination to use the most energetic meas ures fur the suppression of the Polish insurrection, had been received at Berlin." In the mean time, it is said that a Polish gentleman of the name of Wieloposki, left Warsaw on the 12th of December, on a mission from the Dictator to the Kin of France, and pass ing in disguise by a circuitous route through the countries adjoining to Poland, had at length arrived at Paris. Let ters from that capital say that the object of his mission is to solicit an alliance with France, or at least the good offices of that nation with the principal powers of Europe in favor of the intervention of Poland. An opinion is expressed that ihi. envoy would notobtain ajihc ion all ZT0 more than ever fixed in us de termination not to interfere in the internal concerns of foreign nations, provided others adhere to the same line of policy. The revolution in Poland which has commenced with such gallantry and enthusiasm, naturally leads to an enquiry respecting the partition and share of the spoils, which were divided between Russia, Aus tria and Prussia, in 1795. The population at that, period was about 15,000,000 of which 6,700,000 were allotted to Rus sia, 4,800,000 to Austria, and 3,700,000 to Prussia. Further changes were made by the Congress of Vienna, in 1315, by which a part of the country Was erected into a nominal kingdom, under Russia, with a population of 2,800,000, of which Warsaw is the capital. In this portion of ancient Po land, the revolution appears, to be complete. Belgium. The five powers have at length resolved to ac knowledge the independence of Belgium, on the condition that no member of the present v rench King s family shall be King of that country. Ihe v rench papers state that Prince Leopold ofSaxc Coburg is to be called to the Belgic Throne, and, in order to remove the jealousies of France, is to mat ry the daughter of the Citizen King. Marshal Gerard, the late Minister of War, is said to have lately complimented Princess Mary on her approaching nuptials ami honors. England. On the 23d of December Parliament adjourn ed, to meet again on the 3d of February. The message of President Jackson was received at Liver pool on Sunday, the 2d of Jan uary. The Liverpool Times, in announcing that it had arii ved, says "The message though prodigiously long, is well written, and the opinions conveyed in it arc liberal and enlightened. It is quite equal to the last message of General Jackson, which it will be re membered was received with well merited approbation, both in the United States and this country. So far, the General has conducted himself admira bly in his honorable and impor tant offices; and if he should act in the same liberal and sen sible manner to the end of his career, he will retire into pri vate life with as high a reputa tion as any ot ins distinguished predecessors has ever enjoyed." The work of burning and breaking machinery is still car ried on in England, though not to so great an extent as at the date of previous intelligence. A great number of persons have been taken up, and many of our papers are filled with ac counts of their trials before a special commission, opened at Winchester for that purpose. The number of rioters and in cendiaries apprehended in that neighborhood alone is stated to exceed three hundred, and the appearances of the greater part of them is said to denote pers ons of a condition that would not be likely to be driven to ex cess by the pressure of distress. Among others takenup for being concerned in these burn mgs was an American, who called himself James Di inrnnrn alias Munro.
