p RUSS/144: ART) FALtQCfT. •• . • Yeilerday ookenneent received ateour.ts from Me Continent, which *ate that the kits'yeror of lltiasta had entered Poland, at the bead of t 50,000 men; that the King of Pluma had joined hint,, with ih,ooo of his rallied forms; Ind that a cleave *Mon might, loon be espeEted to take place between the allied trim and the French. There advises add, that the move meats of the Aitiriao. Army of Neuualicy bad in duced Ilowaraa:re to employ a confiderable kept is obferving it, and that this Important cilveribm could not fail to .proVe highly favourable to tke, military Operation! of the Allies. . . . . . This intelligence is corroborated hi nretionts re• teiied yefterday by fome Mercantile Ito‘ffe inffic ~ ity. We underftand that there are letters•ia town , from Holland, dated the Bth, which contradiA the former report of the French ha4irig ettiered Warfaw.' l'art the contrary, it is listed, that the Ruffians, to' ' the number of 570r000t had arrived there by forced marches, and had advanced i s [itch halite, that they were under the neceffity of leaving the greater part of their artillery behind them. They had, however, en deavoured to lupply thii deficiency, by farnifhing them(elves with cannon from the different fortreffes which they palled.—We have already fisted that Bo nat./Ara left Berlin on the 25th ult. and proceeded to Polio. It is theiefore extremely probable that we Ihall Mon hear of fame great event. We are Corry to leach, that; according to the moft recent aeconnts, a general attion it eipeffed to take place, es loon as the . contending armies 'can be brought to the fame point. We Wifh we could allow ourfelves to hope that the Allies, profiting by pall experience, would rather adopt a fyftern of procraf rination, and thus hauls and walk the ranks of the enemy, reproved at a diftance floirt iris refourrie4 than put their own army at hazard. . By fome farther eirinits from the foreign journals received yetierdif, which our Readtre will find in the preceding columns. it wilt be teen that the Rnf flans had approached the Vine& on the tub ult. on which day a regiment of buffers entered Warfaw.— The eolump, of which it wit the advtneed guard, arrived the l eleit day' attraga, a fribtub of Wiufaw, brit on the oppofite fide of-ehexiver. two days after, it tent out ponies on the main roads itadink to Po fen aiii Thant.

On the tot!), the divifion of DAIrOUST marched from Pofen, and took a pofition neit day at Som.

From all this it is obvious that tmlefs either the • French or Ruffians drould ffacken in their optritions, one or both of them change their route, it would . impoffible for art /teflon to be long avoided.— 1 6 I. 4 fucceft which the French have hitherto bad in their operations cannot fail to infpire them with a Confidence which may Matti them under - tate the enemy with *hem they have to contend, and which may perhaps induce them to reek an en *igtment, without.
