Three FlasuniMads arrived yesterday. with Let ters and Papers from Haseburgh, from the 25th of November, to the pith instant, inclusive. The affair at Lowicz, between the French and the Russian ad vanced posts, which we noticed some time ago, took place on the 221 Novembar. Although it is stated in the official report to have lasted from morn until night, it was a mere skirmish, of no importance.— The Russians fell bac: to Warsaw, dossed t h e Vistula, and having burned the bridge behind them, took a position at Praga. Of the military operations, we were sn far in pnssessioo in the course of last week. By the present Papers we learn, that the French divisions, under Marshals M CIA T, 1)a. roust, and Soucy, entered Warsaw on the 27th; and having crossed the Vistula, took A position at Prase; the Russians, under General BtSNINGSZN, having abandoned that place, and fallen back farther upon Ka -nania. The tame day on which the three French columns entered \Warsaw, BONA ea% RTIL made his triumphal entry Woo Posen, and announced to the Senate bis intention to proclaim the independ ence of Poland, on his arrival at Warsaw. There is no account of his adual arrival in that city. He expesied, however, to reach it on the 2.(1 instant ; and private letters state, that the Proclamation, de claring the independence of Poland, has been actually made. The declarations of France, and more espe cially cf Dou sitowszv, on this subjed, have ea- cited strong sensations at Vienna. On the 2J inst. Count Sr• otos presented a Note to General As- Dazosse, requiring explanations as to some parts of these Proclamations. Gen. Bei.tioaaria has been suddenly ordired to leave Vienna, and assume the command of the army in Gallicia. Thorn, after sug.aining a violent bomharimenr, has capitulated, al(' the French troops have, in that direetion, advanced towards E ant Prussia ; and we are concerned to rind, that Great Glugau, in Silesia, has also surrendered to Jeans' BON 44444 These are the only accounts furnished by the Foreign papers, of the proceedings of the French in Poland, civil or military.—!t is evident from them, that Bonaesata proceeds with grear caution ; and that, instead of following up his successes with his cheeedkesheie rapidity, be is preparing some ge eat Plan of Military operations. It is probable that, at the opening of the campaign, he did nut look, for the present, beyond the conquest of Prussia ; and that his amaitioa increasing with his extraordinary success, calculates upon nothing less than a march to St. Petersburgh. The number of his troops in Poland, or upon their march for that eriumry, is estimated at 900,000 men. an army which, when led by Boa AAAAAA and his Generals, may well inspire apprehensions far the safety of the Russian Empire. The total of the Russian troops, in mo tion against the French, is said to consist of three armies, of 75,003 each, and a reserve o: 90,000 men. By the prudent conduet of the advanced corps, in not risking a battle with the Fiench, bur, en the contrary, falling back upon their own resources, they now occupy their own frontiers, and have all the advantage of their own magazines and supplies. General Kurusow commands at Kiovia, and General KORSBKOW at We!na General Totsrov has formed a ju etinn with the King of NUM*, who has deemed it ripe dient to fall back from Oster(7de to Knenigs%erg, and is followed by a considerable force under General &cooavnitn. The accounts in the G-r• man Papers of the relations between Russia and Turkey, are very contradi&ory. An article dated from the frontiers of Turkey, of the 221 of Novem ber, gives a copy of a treaty s tid to nave been con di:Jed on the Snit of Oaober between these two posers; and suio:ber from Berlin, of the 1 J:b De. ctrnber, states, that war has aaually been (Iy:slated by Russia against the Porte. The latter appears the more prolsable, although derived fruits a source vrnich we must tonsil:a- French, in the present state of affairs.

We hare received New-York and Philadelabia Papers to the 30th ult. They abound with Party polities, but :omaia no news of any import: anus.

Congress will assemble on the lit of December, when the state of the nation wilt be made known, and the public mind relieved of its anxiety. The mercantile part of the community are in considerable perplexity from the operations of the law prohibiting the introdutlion of specified articles, the produce and mandadure of Great Britain. Se veral ships have arrived since it went into force, what calculated on a short passage, and being within the period of limitation. The low contains no provisions for cases of this kind. The Captains have refused to take the oath prescribed by it, and the vessels are lying at the wharfs with their hatches unbroken.
