          BY SUTHERLAND EDWARDS.







    Poles, we appreciate and admire the greatness of soul, the sensitiveness and the
firmness which distinguish your national character, and which have been displayed in
your efforts to recover the political existence of your country, which you love above
everything.-ALExANDiEE I., Is 1815.
   My grandmother and the King of Prussia, Frederick If., in partitioning Poland,
committed a fault.   .   .   The ruling Powers will never be able to enjoy these
strange acquisitions in peace. The existence of Poland is something natural and in-
dispensable. It would be superfluous to discuss the means of re-establishing it, for
when a thing is natural and indispensable it arrives of itself.-TIE ARCHDUKE FERDi-
NAND OF AUSTRIA, IN 1848.
