BERLIN, AUGUST 8. Very interesting and detailed accounts have been published at Warsaw, respecting the operations of the Polish Army, which forms the right wing of the French Army. The following are the principal facts they contain more particularly relative to the glori ous combats which the Polish General Roanieki's division of cavalry gave the enemy : The 3d Regiment of Polish Uhlans impetifously pursued th.: Russians beyond Mihr. Five regiments of Cossacks attacked and surrounded it ; but it suc ceeded in (Telling a passage through the enemy, and joining tw,) squadrons of the 13th and 14th Uhlans, and repulsing the Russians ; shortly after, the 28th brigade joined the 29th brigade at Tareza, the Rus sians were driven to Siennikow, two leagues beyond Mihr. The Generals Platow and Jorwayski's corps . of Cossacks, some divisions of hussars and Russian dragoons, made a combined attack upon the Polish division in the plain- of Bieonikow. The 7th Uhlans were surrounded, but opened to themselves a pavage, and rejoined the division. The battle beiame general: the Poles maintained their ground, and only retired to Mihr upon the approach of night. Another brigade of cavalry, commanded by Genera! Tyskiewitz, arrived at this time at Mihr, immediately attacked the enemy, and pursued them to a neighbouring forest. The Polish division main tained itself upon the field of battle. Kiev's Rus sian regiment of dragoons and Achterkisch's hussars suffered a great loss. The Russian Lieutenant.oe neral Was killed. Tile, field of battle was covered u;ith Cossacks, Kalmucks, and Tartars. Five days sifter, the Polish garrison carried Czar—, nolely, and killed many Cossacks. It penctratedli the heights of Rour.now, near Pill:, where the.pne my's camp was established. Spate regiments of the line and Cossacks quitted the camp, and completely surrounded the Ist regi • sineat,of cavalry, which covered itself with glory, re. pulsed the Russians, and rejoined the division.

Yesterday afternoon a letter was received from Captain MALC6M, of the Rum, dated the 14th inst. off the Spanish coast, which concludes with the fol. lowing postscript :—« More glories,: new: from Lord WitcliNGrox."-a-That the postscript rested on some rumour that had reached Captain MALcOM cannot be doubted, but we think it relates to the same report which came a few days ago from Jersey. Indeed, the date forbids our giving it Any credit. Dispatches of great importance were this day sent off from Lord CASTLEREAGH'S Office for America. They will he conveyed frem Falmouth in the Swiftsure packet, which is fitted up as a flag of truce, her guns and ammunition having been landed. We have reason to believe that the Swiftsure will carry out a calm, dispassionate, and yet dignified re monstrance• to the American Government, on the subject of the line of policy which has guided their Councils for these several years, in defiance of all the principles by which upright Governments ought to be regulated in the present awful circumstances of the ' world. America must dissolve her connexion with France, 'and make common cause with the high-spi, sited nations who are daily pouring forth their blood I and treasure for the common interest of the world ! —These are not times for tolerating neutrality—Ps- kith Carthago ! France must be laid prostrate, or there will be no peace for the world ; nor ought those Statesmen who hold the destinies of mankind at their beck to be scrupulous in their choke of the weapons with which her downfall is to be accomplished, We are for carrying the war into the very bowels of the land, We should rejoice to see the whole Coast of France lined with flying expeditions from England,. which should strike a perpetual terror into the breasts of the caitiffs who submit to the monstrous system which BONAPARTE has established. We know that there are men, aye and good men too, who will tell us that the peaceable and uneffending inhabitants of France would chits suffer for the iniquities of theirrulee. But we are bold enough to deny that there can be such persons as m peaceable and unoffending inhabitants,". while they submit to the sway of such an atrocious despot : for it is by their sufferance that the miscreant it enabled to lead his devastating legions into the vitals of other countries. Look at Holland, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Prussia, Sweden, Russia l But why should we enumerate the dismal catalogue ; loot at the whole world, ye men of feeling, who thus with. hold the uplifted arm of div:ne vengeance.—Who art the chief instruments employed by the tyrant in this work of misery and desolation ? FRENCHMEN! Can we then regard them as peaceable and unoffend ing men ?—No ; they are morally answerable to the rest of mankind, for all the evils produced. either by their apathy, or by lending their direct as sistance to the furtherance of NAPOLEON'S views of universal dominion. We disclaim the drivelling rality which makes individual virtue consist in merely abstaining from the perpetration of crimes, instead of the positive exercise of imperious duties. Can he who sees an assassin, with the knife in his hand, without attempting to strike it from his grasp, be guiltless of the blood of his victim ! 'No more can we hold the men of France (or the Citizens of America who abet their crimes) as innocent and unoffending members of the community of nations ; or, to use the Frencls jargon, 44 the great family of Europe," of which NA* rerun , : is the unfeeling ',eft -father. The system we are recommending is not chimerical: The immortal NELSON (the soundness of whose judg. ment was never questioned) formed a high estimate, of the consequences which might be expected to flow from its adoption. Sic HoME POPHAM, another very gallant and distinguished Officer, now actively em-, ployed in Spain, on something like the service now pointed out, we know to be a warm advocate for 4 perseverance in the same vigorous syste m. Tt was a favonrite idea with these great men, a w t repeatedly suggested to Ministers, that not a singlet inhabitant of the French coast, of any age pr sex, should be permitted to enjoy an hour's repose, by night or by day, if a gun could be brought to bear upon their towns and villages. This, to little minas, may appear a barbarous mode of carrying on war& but a jlifferent view will be taken of it by enlightened men -L Hor are the crimes of nations to be punished— but 6y the infliction of vengeance by other nations ? —those who have the means to inflict such punish. ment, become accessariee to the enormities if they neglect to cmp?by the weapons with which they have been armed by she Great Ruler of the universe for their own defence, for the protection of the innocent and unoffending, and for the maintenance and en ! forcement of natural and immutable justice among the nations of the earth I ~..

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, and it has furnished us with a full and ample confirmation of the victories gained by the Russians, on the 30th and 31st, which we subjoin. It saves us from all further trouble ia detecting the falsehoods of the French details of their shameful defeat on these oc. casions. The siege of Riga has now been commenced in downright earnest, aad the 'Garrison are animated with the most confident hopes of repelling their in vaders. It now appears, that the deity in bringing up the battering train was occasioned by a deficiency of horses in the French army—this is an ample con firmation of what we have already stated, on the authority of private individuals on this subject. From all parts of Sweden, the intelligence is highly animating ; the recruiting for the army goes on with unprecedented enthusiasm, and the vi gorous and resolute conduct of the Crown PaiNca has been such as to banish all suspicions of his fide, lity to the Swedes.
