England And Russia

A dispatuh from Lord líussell to the ambassndor of Great Britain in St. Petersburg, respecting the insurrectioii in Foland, has just been published. The following are the propositions to the Russian government: In present circutnstances it nppears to Her Majesty's government that nothing less than the following outline of measures should be adoptad as the basis oí pacification : 1. Complete and general amnesty. . 2. Nationíil representation, with powers eimliar to those whieh are fixed by the charter of tle 15 26th November, 1815. 3._Poles to be named to public offices, in sucb a manner as to form a distinct Nsititraal Administration, having the confidence of the countrj'. 4 Full and entire liberty of conscienee ; repe! of the restriótions imposed on Catholic worsbip. 5. The Poïish language recognised in the kingdom as the official language, and used as such in the administration of the law and in education. C. Tho establishment of a regular and legal system of recruiüng. These six points might serve as the indications of mensures to be adopted, after calm and full deliberation. In an ordinary war, the euccesses ol fleets and armies, who fight with courage but without liatred, may be balaneed in a negotiation oarried on in the midst of hostilities. An island more or loss to be transferred, a boundary more or leas to be extended, might express the value of the last victory or conqnest. But where the object is to attain civil peace, and to induce men to live under those against whom they have fought with rancor and desperation, the case is different. The' first thing to be done, therefore, in the opinión of her Majesty'rf government, is to establish a suspension of hostilities. - Tliis might be done in the name of humanity by a proclamation of the Emperor of Russia, w ihont any derogation of his dignity. The Polos, of course, would not be entitled to the benefit of such an act, unless they themselves refrained from hostilities of every kind during the suspension. Tranquility thus for the moment restored, the next thing is to consult thé Powers who signed the treaty of Vienna. Prussia, Spain, Swedeu and Portugal must be asked to give their opinión as to the best mode of giving effect to a treaty to wiich they were contrading parties. Wbal Her Majeety's government proposes, therefore, consists in these three proposïtions : lst. The adoption of the six points enumeratod as bases of negotiation. 2d. A provisional suspension of arms, to be proclaimed by the Emperor of Russia. 4th. A conference of the eight Powers who signed the treaty of Vienna.
