They contain no news of any interest. The latest accounts from Warsaw are dated the 1,5:11, at which time no action had taken place on the other side of the Vistula. .......Inw.-.- We yesterday announced the arrival of the Honourable Captain ELACF:WOOD, of HIS MA. JESTV'S late ship /box, with Dispatches from the Mediterranean. They contain an account of the passing and repassing of the Dardanelles by Ad miral bucxworrrit, without having accomplished his purpose. We are extremely concetned to find. from Tat Gimait Evening Print of yesterday, that this enterprise was attended on our part with the following severe loss:— In passing up the Dardanelles—Killed 12; Wounded 66. On Prince's Island, while the newt was at anchor off Con stantinop:e--K,lled 3. Wounded 16. In repasing Darcluit hes—Kdled 49 ; Wounded 137. Total—K:l , A 69 ; Wounded 119. This ►tatement shows, that the principal loss was sustained by the squadron when repassing the Streights the Turks having made great exer tions to strengthen the fortifications is its rear. In these exertions they were so successful, that Ad miral Due ewoarit probably should not have been able to died hislreturn, without the most imminent danger, had he delayed it a few days longer. A marble shot, weighing 808Ibs. in circumference 6 feet 11 inches, and diameter 2 feet 2 inches, struck the Windier Casa- about the mainmast. Half of a large granite shot, 1 foot 10 inches in diameter, struck the Rain! Geove. Another struck the Afitee frigate. 5601b5. and lodged in her orlop deck ; in short, the whole of the squadron suffered more or less. Admiral Ducovroat is appears to have espetled that the appearance of the squadron before Cwt. stantinople would have struck terror into the Po R vs, and awed it into submission. In this speculation he was disappointed ; end we are sorri to find th it had ' Isis threats. tie nnt ebe means of enforciag and the ships could not be w being a d•ad calm.
