LONDON. -----
LONDON. THURSDAY, OCT. 6. THE intelligence we have received yesterday and to-day from Poland is unfavourable to the Po- lish cause. Although we may be reluctant to believe that the capitulation of Warsaw was uncondi- tional, yet such was the fact, and although one may cling to the last hope, as the shipwrecked mariner to the last plank, yet it is clear that the army at Modlin and Plozk cannot long continue to carry oh, even if disposed to do so, so unequal a contest Rooiariflo has been defeated, and has taken refuge in Gallicia. There he may indeed arouse feelings of sympathy, and an ar- L dent desire to assist him but the Austrian government ever alert, will probably disarm him before any effectu- al movement could be made in his favour. There is, indeed, some difference in the accounts as to the number of troops which composed the division of Romarino— some stating it to amount to 15,000 men, and others only to 10,000; but the fact of the defeat, and of the retreat of the army on the Austrian territory, comes to Us from too many quarters to admit of our doubtingits truth. It is stated that the detachments of cavalry which had been sent out by the Poles on reconnoitring, parties have all been dispersed, and that many Polish officers have taken refuge on the Prussian territory. The St Petersburgh Journal, which biings us the re- ports of Paskeivitscli, &c. &c. are silent as to the in- tentions of the Emperor. This is a sad omission. If those reports had been followed by an Ukase, direct- ing the Polish charter of 1815, tc be carried into com- plete execution, we should have been relieved from much anxiety and the intentions of the Emperor from suspicion. No other terms can satisfy Poland, and no other conditions ought to be assented to by Europe. We learn from Neutchatel, by letters of the 29th ftept., that tin' Castle is in possession of the federal troops—that the warlike stores belonging to the canton have been deposited there—and that the insurgents had received orders immediately to depart for their various districts. It had not been decided on the 29th of Sep- tember when the appeal should be made to the primary assemblies, although it was expressly stated by the re- bels that unless such appeal should be made forthwith, they would return without delay to re-attack the Prus- sian and federal authorities. The letters from Antwerp state that great alarm was felt there on account of fortifications on an extensive scale being commenced under the superintendence of eminent French engineer officers. The statement! made public was, that it was for the protection of Ant- werp in case of an attach by the Dutch force—that it Was a measure of precaution, not of hostility. A renewal of the armistice for a fortnight (not six-, Weeks as was stated,) has been agreed on between Bel- gium and Holland. WEST INDIES.—We have received St. Vincent's Pa- pcts to the 19th of August. They contain many par- ticulars of the storm which had occurred at Barbadoes having spread to that island, and the damages which Were effected on the various estates. The distress in the Windward and Leeward quarters is described as beggaring all description. On many estates every building has been levelled with the earth, the pro- prietors and white servants taking refuge in tempo- rary huts, and the slaves huddled together by hun- r, dreds under broken walls and fragments of houses, Joined to these miseries, famine is staring the inhabi- tants in the face—provision grounds every whete des- troyed, and the crops of yams, which were just ready for digging, all washed away by the heavy rains. Not a plaintain tree remains standing on some estates, nor indeed a tree of any description, and most of the early canes for the ensuing crop have been destroyed. Flour and meal have advanced in price, and were getting scarce. But all these accumulated misfortunes might have been borne had there remained a chance of get- ting supplies from Barbadoes, wither several vessels were sent, but the woful tidings received from that heap of ruins have bereaved us of all hope in thatquar- ter, and should an All-wise Being have visited with his scourge the colonies to the northward, our only anchor of hope for many months must rest on America. The advance of the winds in the northern quarter is descri- bed as most terrific. The stoutest and hardiest trees Were uprooted like saplings, and scattered in the air like twigs Houses were lifted up entire, and thrown to an incredible distance from their foundations. A- Jnorigst those who lost their lives during its continu- ance were the Hon. Johnson Littledale and his house- keeper, Miss Jessy Doughas, who were both killed at Owia, by the house falling on them; also the infant son of James Sutherland, Esq, who .was killed in his Mother's arms on Waterloo estate, as she fled with him out of a falling house. Sixteen slaves were also killed. The immediate damage is estimated at much nearer X, < £ 500,000 at which it was previously stated. A pro- clamation has been issued by the Governor, Sir G. Hill, at St. Vincent's, which authorises the admission of ,1iour,whit, yellow, and pitch boards, planks, and •catitlings, free of all duties, from the 18th of August to the 31st of December inclusive, for food, and the re- pairs of houses, buildings, and sugar works, over the greatest part of that Colony,

FRIDAY, OCT. 7* Extract of a letter from Faenza, dated Sept. 23 :— Bologna has become the theatre of scenes which may lead. to serious events. The authority of the Pope is totally disregarded. All classes of the people assemble tumultuously on the public places, and popular orators, mounted on chairs, deliver violent harangues, demand- ing that the form of the government should be changed, that four tribunes be appointed to assist the delegate, and that the commandant of the Civic Guards shold be dismissed. One of the speakers was arrested, but afterwards released. The Civic Guards are resolved to resist the troops of the Pope if they attempt any op- position. There are 3000 men armed with muskets* and about 7000 more with fowling-pieces and other weapons. The only.fear entertained is, that the Ausv trians may again interfere, particularly as it cannot be doubted that the whole population, weared out by the oppressions of the court of Rome, would easily be in- duced to abandon themselves entirely to the dominion of Austria." We learn from Venice, by a letter dated 15th ult.y that pn the 11th Sept. an earthquake was felt at thq Oc e same time in that city and in Parma. The shocks were very yiqlent and lasted for eight minutes. They cape in the directton of the north-east ?0 south-west at Par- rna, while at Venice they were frem east t'o west; At Pa^ma t{ie_ clocks stopped, and chasms were made in the walls. The inhabitants fled from their houses and frpm the shurehes, for fear of being crushed to death. The bells r^ng from the vibration, the horses neighed, ppd the dogs ran about the streets howling with dread, i > A letter from Oporto, dated September 24, mentions a gross outrage which had been committed upon four ladies who were walking together in the immediate vi cinity of that city. The Miguelites attacked them in the most wanton manner, one lady had her arm broken, and another received serious wounds on the head. A third had her eye much injured. Ore of the ladies is a British subject, and a complaint having been made to our Consul, he has sent a strong remonstrance to the Government on the outrage. The AllgemeineZeitiing of the 29 th September states that the Polish officers (Col Kiroerski and-Captain Bortkiewicz, of the Polish Regiment of Grenadiers of the Guards,) who were-taken prisoners, by the Rus- sians, had besn pardoned, although they each took a very ictive part in the revolution from its commence- ment, by the Emperor, after their conviction by court martial on the 13th (24th) July, the birth-day of the Empress, and received their expences to convey them home. The Emperor, it is stated on the authority of I a private letter from St. Petei-sburgh (no date given,) means still further to extend his clemency to the Polish nation by recognizing its independence. It seems that, after the destruction of the Greek fleet, the troops of the Government took possession of Poros, and of the steam boats which escaped the conflagration. It is said that lighted matches were discovered in these vessels and in the cellars of the houses, from which it is supposed that it was intended to carry on the work of destruction. Hydra was blockaded by Russian ships, and, according to report, by English and French ships also. Mavocordato, who had fled to Hydra, has been stoned by the people. Letters from Rio Janeiro, dated August 8th, state that 112,000 dollars, recovered from the wreck of the Thetis, had been shipped on board the Trihnne, mak- ing the total amount saved about 367,000 dollars.

SATURDAY, OCT. S. HURRICANE AT THE HAVANNAH.—On the JOth of August the province of Cuba expei-ienefd one of the most dreadful hurricanes that has for a long period desolated this country. The damage has ( veiv-wl er been great. Some of the walls of the fortresses*of the Moro and of Costa were thrown down, as well as sevee ral magazines in which gunpowder \yas deposited.- The military hospital has suffered severely but hap- pily no lives were lost. Eight vessels were wrecked in the bay; some arc on shore; others, were driven out to sea; the city has suffered much, particularly the churches, and the houses near the dikes, which were broken through by the fury of the waters. Happily no person perished in those places where these events took plaee between noon and one o'clock. The coun- try affords a most afflicting sight: several persons pe- rished there trees and several houses were thrown down. Among the houses destroyed some were bnilt of stone and extremely solid. The plantations of cof- fee, &c, are almost wholly destroyed, and a loss of se- veral millions has been sustained in these articles, which were in the Warehouses. Such are the disastrous events which afflicted the inhabitants of this province on the 17th. It will be a long time before it will be possible to cultivate the land, on account of the great injury caused by the inundation. ° We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 23d of July. A violent storm had been experienced there, and the shore from the town to Salt River was filled with remnants of merchandize and sea materials. The losses sustained by property insured and not in- sured are enormous; the latter, it is feared will be very great. Several vessels were driven on shore, and the Canadian became a complete wreck. The wind and sea abated, to which may be attributed the lives of the persons on board, who were saved in a boat sent from town. No lives have been lost. The intrigues of the Orange faction at Ghent and Liege begin to create some uneasiness in the Cabinet at Brussels. King Leopold is, however, prepared for the worst, and all the fortresses are in a respectable state of defence; and an army of thirty thousand men too, which he has encamped at Diest, is calculated to reassure him against any contigency. A new oath of fidelity to Don Miguel has been or- dered by the authorities in.different.towns pf Portugal, and, as many suppose, insinuated by the government; the following is the form of it:—"In case of any inva- sion of this kingdom by Don Pedro, I promise and swear to defend his Majesty's government with my property, person, and life."—Most part of the inhabi- tants refuse to take it. PARIS, OCT. 3.—We are assured that the Conference at London has just decided that the Throne of Greece shall be offered to Prince .William Frederick, second son of the King of Holland. The Prince is thirty-four years of age, and lie is married to a daughter of the King of Prussia. THE NEW VOLCANIC,ERUPTION.-—The last accounts of this island, contained m the Semaphore, state that the eruption has ceased, and that the crater is now filled with boiling water, from which a sulphurous smoke continues to issue. The isle is chiefly formed of a spongy lava and puzzolane. The brink of the crater is 30 feet in lieight at the lowest part, in other places 80 feet, and in the centre 200 feet. It is easy to land on the south-west side. Smoke issues from several points of the sea around.—Literary Gazette. ELECTION OF LOUD MAYOR.—A Court of Alderman was held this day at Guildhall to receive the return of the Sheriffs, as to the result of the late election for Lord Mayor. The Sheriffs made their return, which stated that the choice of the Livery had fallen on the present Lord Mayor and Alderman Thorp to fill the .above office for the ensuing year. The Court then consulted as to whom they should elect of the two Aldermen returned to them. A Deputation, consist- ing of thirty Liverymen, were in attendance with a pe- tition, the presentation ofwl^iph it was-agreed should be entrusted to Alderman Waithman, praying the Court would re-elect trie. Lord Mayor, /fhis p £ tit i on was agreed to at the last Common Hall. T}«;'new Alder man (Wilson) was tntroduced to the Court by Mr. Slade, who briefly st^t.ed that he was a sincere fifiend to Parliamentary Reform, and ".thai he trusted the Court would do jill in their power towards, supporting the measures of Iiis-NI niestv s present Ministers, let the opposition of such -measures t^ome from whatever quar- ter it might. The Cqurt rejnaihedTn deliberation till four o'clock, when they decided! in favour of Aldermail Thorp, who, however, immediately resigned.
