Accumulated masses of snow nnd continued front are not, indeed, great obstacles to the conveyance of cannon and of military stores and sledges, but throw great difficulties in the way of the rapid advance of the infantry and cavalry, though ample distributions ol brandy nre not wanting. What the journals have said of the hatred which the native Russians leel Inwards their half brothers in Poland is certainly true it is returned with interest by the Poles. Both Alexander and Nicholas were fully nware of would willinglv have dispensed with the odious measure of keeping Russian regiments in Poland lull they could not venture to leave the Polish troops, especially the nitiilery, to themselves, and thus uew seeds ol inextinguishable hatred were sown. London. Feb.

have received the French papers of Saturday and Sunday. The principal feature ol their contents is the report of the conversation which occurred in the Chamber of Deputies on Ihe 27tli nnd 28ih tilt, and which has already appeared in the Morning Herald of yesterday. The subject was introduced by M. Mangiun, who called upon the ministry to explain their pnliey'with raspeet tn Ijclgiitm hud Poland. The challenge was accepted, and an interesting nnd important dismission was the ronsetpienee.

M.Alingnin taxed the Ministry with betraying the Belgians to the Holy interfering with them in the choice of a King, nnd in their darling project of their country to France. This-wnstbe more ungracious, because the only fault was the having imitated France in declaring themselves independent. He also inculpated them with to Polaud. General Sehastinni made a elever and pertinent reply. He reminded the Chamber of the proofs of ailariiment which France had already given to the Belgian people, in saving them front invasion by the troops of the Holy their them European neutrality, upon the same looting with the Swiss, and, in fine, makitigcommoti cause itii the family of Kings.

He dcn.cd that ihe Belgians were unanimous in wishing for a unum with France, and argued that the part whirh he hail taken with respect to the Dukeof Leitclitrnburg savored more of friendly admonition than national intervention. Franre bad large claims upon Belgian gratitude, and it wns not taking loo great a liberty rn require voice, particularly hen referred to, as to the lorm of government which so neara neighbor ought to nssume. Poland was 400 leagues distant from France, ami limiting was to be done for it but the medium of a Continental war, for hich France wns not anxious, though not unprepared These arguments were re-echoed by the Minister of War.

At the same time lie produced a letter from the Emperor, thanking l.im for the temporary administration of affairs, and warning him not lo reject the already made to the Council of Administration. A similar letter front Prince Lubecki was also produced. On thn following morning the deputation again sent the Dictator a written request to take upon himself the command of the army with unlimited discretionary At same time the members of the deputation made strict inquiries as to what the feelings of the officers of the at my would he, ia ease of another Chief being appointed to command them. A general officer assured them that the confidence nf the troops in the representatives of Ihe nation was nnlimited, and that if they were to put a drummer at the head of them the army would obey him.

The same evening the Dictator sent the deputation an answer, in which hr declared that the only of dictatorship he could nrcept would lie one divested even of the limitations hitherto put upon him. The deputation replied that they did not feel tbemstdves authorised lo comply with such a proposal, and advised him to lay it before the Diet. On the receipt of this reply Gen. Chlopirki resigned.

Adjournment of National Intelligencer of Friday last Twenty-first was cloned, by the mtjournineinofthe two Houses last evening, between 7 and 8 By a suspension of the joint rule, which the presentation of any bill to the President for his approbation, on the last day of the session, several additional bills were finally acted upon and became laws. This was the more gratifying, as some of them provided for private claims. The President approved and signed all the bills that were presented to him, although a rumor prevailed, in the afternoon, that one or Internal Improvements would not be approved. Both Houses took a recess from 4 to 6 The Senate was engaged the greater part of the day in the consideration of Executive ANOTHER DECLINATURE. By the annexed letter, it will be seen that Samuel Church, Esq.

declines to be considered a candidate for Congress at the next election. Mr. Chinch was put in nomination by the legislative caucus at NewHaven in May Inst. There can be no doubt that in forming this resolution, (without taking into consideration what effect it might have upon a few heartless Jacksonians, whose friendship is more to be dreaded than their enmity,) Mr. Church will gtatify the of real friends in every section of the county.

He wdl, nevertheless, we trust, suffer his friends in his own town to elect him to the State Legislature. Salisbury, March 1, 1831.

A legislative caucus of the Democratic members of the Legislature of Pennsylvania, friendly to the adminibtrations iff the National and Slate says a Boston paper, lately held a meeting and passed resolutions dec hiring their unditninished confidence in the administration of Gen.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

Mr. Editor The nomination of Hon. Orange Merwin to the flier of Limt. Governor by the friends of Henry Clay tnd the American System, in the place of Henry W. Kilwar s.

the Jackson caiictis candidate, is universally aeceptah In the iitilicuns of this roiinly. It is well known dial this nomination, so far from being songni by Mr. Merwin, was wholly unexpected to him and his personal friends. Reiired to private life, lie had not the least idea of taking any other part with respect to public affairs Ilian simply to fulfil the dun iirumheiit upon every citizen, to exercise properly the right of siiffrngr, and to throw his influence nnd weight of character into the scale in favor of sound pr uriples and correct government. Rut the Iriends of Mr.

Clay having every reason to he much dissatisfied ith H. W. Edwards during the Inst session of the Legislature as Speaker of tile House of Representatives, which situation lie manifested derided partialities Jaeksniiistn.) they became convinced lhai some other eaudidair must lie designated for the office of Lieut. Governor; and their attention having been directed to Mr. Merwin, lie was selected with great unanimity, nnd vviil lie cordially supported throughout the Slate.

Unlike II. W. Edwards. Mr. Merwin has ever pursurd a uniform political eourse cvpr steadily adhered to the principles of the American and ever firmly supported the champion of that System, the distinguished Sintrsmnii of the Wesl.

Under such rirriimsiniicre, it is not surprising that lie should have incurred the hostility of lire Jackson purly in this State, intolerant nnd proscriptive ns it is, who will make every effort to defeat Ids election, nnd ensure triumph to the npostney of II. VV. Edwards. Rut the genuine republicans of the state will rally in support of Mr. Merwin, nnd with the necessary exertions enn give to the integrity of his ehnrnrtcr, the firmness of his principles, and the steadfastness of his political life, a decisive expression of their approbation.

The election being at hand, it is proper that the attention of the public should he drawn to this nnd other subjects of great interest, with a view to the adoption of suitable measures to secure auspicious testilis. An Elector. RD. The Washington Correspondent of the U. S.
