Warsaw, April 25. Poland seems on the eve of experiencing the sad effects of court intrigue. Not at all interesting herself in the great concerns of Europe, not intermeddling in any shape in the quarrels of the leading powers, intent upon her own happiness only, she is nevertheless upon the point of being exposed to a succession of unfavourable events, similar to those which menace France. The king himself has informed the Diet, that a severe struggle is to be apprehended, for the maintenance of the constitution. The Russians have not yet indeed actually entered Poland, but measures are taken for this purpose, and three divisions of their grand army are to enter at the same time. The Polanders are vehemently disposed for resistance.
