FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of Monday.) PARIS, APRIL 10.—The Correspondent of Nu remberg states that the federal contingent of Den mark and the auxiliary corps of Sweden will be col lected upon the Elbe, in Lower -Saxony, for the purpose of forming a reserve guard with the troops stationed in Prussian Saxony. This news confirms that which was announced a short time previously by the Gazette of Augsburg— namely, of the request made to the King of Sweden to furnish his contingent of men. The Polish news has produced the m ost en thusiastic joy joy in Par is. NEWS FROM ITALY. The taking of Ancona by the Austrians has been confirmed. An extraordinary courier, who left Ancona on the 30th of March, has brought the following news : At one o'clock yesterday afternoon the Austrian trooFs took possession of the city and fortress of Ancona, without meeting with any resistance. The armed force belonging to the insurgents remained quiet at Ancona, and laid dawn their arms on the appearance of the Austrians. " General Zucchi and the other Commanders embarked on hoard a merchant vessel." The Chamber of Peers met to-day. The report upon the project of law, relative to Charles X. and his family was presented by the Duke de Broglie. Before the commencement of the Sitting of the Chamber of Peers, a great number of the Members met in the Cabinet of the Chief Referendary ; a list was opened for the patriotic loan; M. M. Pasquier, de Semonville, de Praslin, de Broglie, de Cadore, de Louvois, put down their names, each for the sum of 10,000 francs; MM. Dejean, de 'Vassal, for 8,000; MM. Seguir, de Joncourt, Mollien, for 6,000 f. We know from positive authority that the sub scriptions already amount to more than six millions. M. Rothschild has subscribed 400,000 francs ; MM. Andre Cottier, and many other banking-houses for 100,000 and 200,000f.—Courrier Francais. Yesterday M. Brian, editor of the Quotidienne, was sentenced by the second Section of the Court of Assizes to six months' imprisoment, and a fine of 8,000 francs, in consequence of having been con victed of exciting hatred and contempt against the Government. (From the Gazette de France of Monday.) PARIS, APRIL 10.—The Minisier for Foreign Affairs communicated to several Deputies in the course of to-day the contents of the despatches re ceived from M. Durand, Consul at Warsaw. These rie:isatches are dated 30th of March, they state that a bulletin published in Warsaw, and giving an ac count of the unexpected success of the Polish army, is by no means exaggerated ; that the Poles exe cuted a most daring attempt ; that a body of 10,000 men having made a sham attack towards the centre of the Russian army, another corps, after having thown a bridge acress the Vistula, surprised the left wing of the Russian army, and put it to the root. Thi , last attack produced a loss of 6,000 prisoners, 2,000 killed or wounded ; 12 pieces of cannon have fallen into the hands of the Poles. On the following day the Polish army gained a fresh advantage, and took 2,000 prisoners, among whom were two Generals and a Colonel. The majority of the military men in the Chamber were unanimous in declaring, that if this bold attack had succeeded to the extent mentioned in the de _spatches, the result would be to force the Russians to change their cantonment. A piece of news has been circulated upon this occasion as well as whenever the Poles gain any success—and it is that Lithuania had revolted. The TriGrine contains the following : " M. de Polignac has just made .an attempt to escape from the fortress of Ham. For the last few days, the person who wus in the habit of taking his dinner to him, not finding him in his room, waited a short time; and during the delay, heard a noise in the chimney. lie looked up, and saw a man in the aperture; the Governor was informed of the fact, and instantly repaired to the prisoner's chamber; he was made to come down from his hiding-place.' In order to prevent another attempt of the same nature, the Governor sent for a mason, and directed him to place two iron bars across the chimney. We have had a communication from an authentic source, stating that a definitive arrangement has just teen entered into at London upon the snbject of the affairs of Belgium. Louis Philippe is to give his eldest daughter to Prince Coburg, who is to be elevated to throne of Belgium ; but upon a con dition, imposed by the Holy Alliance, that all the fortifications of the frontier towns of Belgium shall be levelled with the ground. CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, APRIL 9. The order of the day required M. Guillon, re porter to the Commission of Petitions, to ascend the tribune. A great number of the holders of inscriptions of the rents and loan of the Cortes complain of a finan cial measure adopted by the Spanish Government, which, under the appearance of a tardy act of jus tice, only presents in reality a scandalous bank• ruptcy, and makes use of a fresh deception. The Committee proposed sending this petition to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs, Finance, Justice, and to the President of the Council. M. Garcias—Gentlemen, I come forward to sup port the petition which has been presented to you on the part of the holders of the Cortes Bonds, and I feel more necessity for this step, as I think my duty as a Deputy of France calls on me to watch theinterests of my country ; and, as I am perfectly convinced that it would be an injustice to the unfor tunate creditors of Spain if the project which has been got up, and of which I shall give you a de scription, should be carried into effect, This is not the first time that the Chamber has been instructed in the manoeuvres of the agents of the Spanish Government, for the purpose of raising contf butions upon the confiding credulity of the capitalists of Paris. The Spanish war, carried on by orders from the Holy Alliance, has Cost France 4.00 millions of francs. We allowed ourselves to be deceived; audacity, want, and im punity, are not easily put off. A new decree is now the c'y, under the form of a loan of twenty millions of reals of Rentes—at present about 166 millions of francs. But may it not be said that, if the new loan is not intended to incorporate by the proposed measure the debt of the Cortes in the general debt of Spain, why not have limited it to the mere issu ing of the loan, without diminishing wilfully the proceeds, by the admission of these securities. It would have been easy to answer that objection. The credit of Spain is not so flourishing that it can find persons to !end without giving any other guarantee than their words. It always required, and still re, quires, the aid of chicanery to conceal the real ob- Jett of its financial schemes. Its object must also I be to open the London market, which is, and has been, closed to her, until a better faith displays it self am ong st the po pulation. It has been upon those old debt s t h at At the present Spain lies contracted new obligations'. daythe Spanish Government, not baying any other finds loans to convert into different se curities,Cortes Bonds. its e l flilaN e ctbliged to make use of the shown th a t the conditions proposed to the credi tors.oofftthhe Cortes Elf@ such that it is impossible any one adoption. What will be the re e s m ui can consent to their t of this? It must be that, under cover of a pretended the constitut ional debt, S p ain, which di n n ot ac knowledgmentd re to of loan, will ofilytteceedainse fair and simpleoan, Fr opose a se ducing more dupe s b y theattractioa of *large amount of interest; as by that means , eie will n o t on l y be able to liquidate the six months intere st up to July, b ut that for the subsequ ent periods; iti s, therefore, f or i the purpose of opposing this two-fold danger that 1' have taken the liberty of su bmitting my opinions to the Chamber, and supporting, with all my exertions the petition of those holders of the Cortes Bonds, so that the Exchange of Paris may be closed against this new issue. of rentes which has been lately - pro posed, until our Government has °Drained from Spain a bona fide, complete, and entire acknow ledgment of the old debt of the Cortes, with the payment of the arrears and the current interest, as an act of reason and justice. M. de Tracy said that it was now proved beyond a doubt that the new speculation attempted by. the Spanish Goverment ought to receive no other de nomination but that of barefaced swindling. re flecting upon the iron yoke which now pressed upon Spain, they ought not to forget that the scaffolds which covered that greund-4he victims who were every day immolated upon its soil—that all this was caused by them (the French), and that they went to consummate this state of things with a force of 100,000 men.—(Very good! very good !)—He should therefore agree that the petition be referred to a Committee. M. Baillot spoke to the same effect, and sup portei the arguments of the Commission. These conclusions were put to the vote, and adopted, without any opposition. The petition was referred to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, of Finance, Justice, and the President of the Council. The order of the day wus the discussion upon the electoral law. M. de Corcelles said that the present law, which the Ministry had been so long in maturing—this law, which had undergone so many trials in the Committees, had at last . obtained their assent, after a deliberation of three weeks. But three sittings of the other Chamber were sufficient to destroy this measure, and the safeguard of the rights of citizens. Thus they subjected to a spirit of delicacy a law which it could not alter without mixing up its pri vate interests in the balance of national prosperity. (From several voices—" This is intolerable. You are attacking the votes and independence of the other Chamber.") M. de Comelles continued in the same train of reasoning, but his words were almost drowned by cries of " Order, order !" However, the attention of the assembly was attracted by a circumstance of a different nature. The Minister of Foreign Al fairs entered the Chamber, and was instantly sur rounded by a number of Deputies, who spoke to him with much earnestness, and asked him several questions. He communicated to them the news from Warsaw. M. de Corcelles continued his discourse, and con cluded by objecting to the amendments of the Chamber of Peers. The President of tke Council—l must remind the Hon. Member that he has committed a breach of the regulations in thus concluding his remarks. M. de Corcelles—lf speaking the truth is irre gular, I am no doubt guilty.—(Disapprobation from the centres—interruption.) The President—You deserve a double censure for haVing broken the regulations, and for taking pride for such itregularity.—(Marks of assent ) M. de Corcelles seemed much agitated, and ad dressed some observations to the Members who were sitting near him. The President said that the question under con sideration was one of good faith; it was with the utmost good faith that the Government proposed to suppress by adjournment the amendments of the Clamber of Peers, as it could not be executed within the period allowed by the law, and they hoped the Chamber would not substitute other clauses which would create the difficulties. M. Salverte said that if the only question they had to determine was to fix the 30 centimes for the regulation of the Hits, he would not have stood up to speak; but what was more important, they had now the alternative of rejecting the additional article proposed by the Government, or adopting the amendment of the Chamber of Peers. The former would replace France of 1830 upon the aristocratic principle of 1814. The Hon. Deputy voted for the project of law as it had been previously adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. M. Tracy said that, according to the system pre sented by the Ministers of Public Works, and the President of the Council, the Revolution would be less liberal than the reworation.—(Murmurs.) He should vote against the article proposed by the Go vernment, and against the amendment of the Cham• ber of Peers.—(Gies of " Question.") It wai put to the vote and agreed to that the de bate should be concluded. The amendment of the Chamber of Peers, which fixed the qualification at 150 f. was unanimously re jected. The Chamber adopted an amendment, redueing . to 150 the number of electors from the Electoral Colleges, including the additions. The a'senting to this amendment was violently of jected to by the cote gauche. M. Petaille moved about his seal in a most agitated and angry manner, and M. du Vergier de Hauranne tried in vain to keep him quiet. The debato was adjourned to Monday. CHAMBER OF PEERS, APRIL 9. M. de Broglie addressed the Chamber upon the report on the Project of Law relative to Charles X. and his family —We shall give his speech to-morrow. The Committee has not approved of the seques tration of the property during the year allowed for its alienation. The sale by auction was also of to by the Committee, and it also rejected Article G, which went to abrogate the law of the 19th Jan. 1816, relative to mourning upon the 21st of January, in each year. (From the National of Sunday.) The decision which the Chamber of Deputies came to this day upon the petition of the holders of Cortes Bonds has fully justified our observations and experience. After the cleat report of M. Gillon, the appropriate explanations of M. Garcies of the fiau dulent and swindling projects concealed by the de cree of Ferdinand VII., and the eloquent impromptu of M. de Tracy, who painted in its proper colours the infaioous And cruel tyranny which we established and fomented, the Chamber has, by a unanimous vote, referred to the Pre+ident of the Council of Mi tii.ters the above petition, which prays that the Government will give orders for closing the Ex change against the new Spanish securities. NVe have no doubt that, after so formal an injunction, the Minister, by protecting our fortune against the speculations of the Camarilla of Madrid, will put an end to that shameful tribute which we have been paying for the last eight years to the Court of Spain. (From the Constitutlonnel of Sunday. , ) TOULON, APRIL 4.—The large boat Luxor, built in out harbour, to receive and convey from Egypt to France one of Cleopatra's Needles, has been or dered to proceed 'Data:Ay on that mission. This vessel is of very large dimensions, and is provided with three keels, intended to enable it to resist the greatest difligulties which maritime conveyance has yet encountered, (PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.) PARIS, APRIL 10.—The late extraordinary rise in the unlit is the subject of general speculation. The most feasible cause for it, as far as I can un derstand, is the rapidity with which the list of sub scribers (at par) to the Thropozed loan of one hun dred and twenty millions was increasing. Our cor respondent concludes by stating that the - French Government bad received an official account of the entrance of the Austrians into Ancona. evening, that It was beliteved in Paris, on Sunday a general illumination for the Polish victories would take place that night. ACCIDENT TO JUDGE VAUGIIAN.—As his Lordship waa retuining home on Saturday evening from Watford to Eastbu,ry, h. received a fall from hii horse, whiah had nigh proved fatal to him. Hil Lordship was 30 severely stunned as to remain some time unconscious of his situation; his fo l eellead and the right side of his face were severely lacerated, and a considerable quantity of 41 °° 4 was extravasated under ,the right eve-lid. A mes senger was immediately despatched to Watford for Dr. Pincomt. who being absent, Ur.

LONDON, 1831., We need riot say that this work deserves the cir culation it has met with. ." - The subject of the two first numbers—the chefs crceuvres of Cooper and Godwin—have beeinnost felicitously chosen, few works are better known, few more highly appre ciated, few more likely to please even on a second perusal, " Caleb _Williams," in particular, i s master-piece, arid as the present edition has received the last careful finiShing touches of its veteran author, and is accompanied besides with a pleasing well-written memoir of his life, and a criticism on his genius, from the pen of his gifted daughter, Mrs. Shelley, the authoress of " Frankenstein,"— we doubt not it will meet with a ready sale. Of course, Mr. Colburn, the spirited publisher of the Standard Novels, will not omit the " St. Leon," by Godwin; it is one of the most magnificent tales in the language, whether viewed with regard to in cident, character, language, or the lofty moral feeling that pervades it. One more tale by Cooper--say " The Last of the Mohicans"—will be, we suspect, quite a sufficient sample of the talents of this trans atlantic author :—wshose " Spy"—notwithstanding we see it announced for next month—is every way unworthy of him. We have only to add, that the two numbers already published of the Standard Novels, are beautifully printed, and embellished with two passable engravings. HISTORY AND TOPOGRAPHY OF THE UNITED STATES.—LoNbox, 1831. We have received the three last parts of this very useful publication, which are splendidly embellished with architectural views of the most prominent ob jects of curiosity in Philadelphia and the other leading cities in the United States. In these views the reader will scarcely fail to be struck with sur prise at the extraordinary beauty, and even magni ficence, of many of the public buildings in North America, 20 far beyond what the generality of the English readers are led to conceive. The sketch of the chief public building in 'Washington presents one of the finest specimens of architectural beauty we have ever met with. In addition to the embel lishments, the work is accompanied by an ably digested history of the United States, from the period of their separation from the mother country to the present time. This history puts forth many new facts relative to some obscure events that took place at the revolution, which will be perused with considerable interest. There is also, besides the history, a topographical account of the different cities in the United States, se that in every respect the book is a complete one. DESTINY. S VOLS. EDINBURGH. 1831. The subject of this agreeable tale—which pro ceeds from the pen of Miss Ferrier, author of " Marriage," a Novel, which has been publicly honoured by the approbation of Sir Walter Scott— is the history, at full length, of a Highland Chieftain, his family, friends, kinsman, dependents, &c. A 3 a developement of character the tale puts forth no ordinary claims to attention. Miss Ferrier clearly draws from lifer--from personal observation, not from books or hear-say. The dialogues are admirably characteristic, spirited, but not overstrained, frequCnt and continuous, but not so as to ennui or disgust the reader. She has also—an unusual feature in the works of female writers—considerable powers, of humour, which just border upon caricature without overstepping the proper limits. We have read " Destiny" with great pleasure, and without ex periencing the slightest sensation of wearine ,, s : there is incident enough to keep the attention per petually awake; though now and then the scene shifts a little too abruptly; too much after the fashion of a Pantomime, without rhyme or reason. However, all things considered, the book is an ex cellent one, and will bear perusal. ELEMENTS OF BOTANY. EDINBURGH, 1831. A most elaborate and scientific elementary treatise on a subject which is daily becoming more popular. The work is a translation executed by a gentleman of the name of iVl‘Gillirray. FRAGMENTS OF VOYAGES AND TRAVELS. 3 Vole. EDINBURGH, 1431. This will not prove one of the least popular of Captain Basil Hall's work.. It is pleasantly written, chiefly for the amusement of the more juve nile classes of the community, though, in truth, it abounds in entertaining matter for reader; of all ages. The author draws, throughout, from his own personal experience. Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, March st :—" An unfortunate man was hanged on the 29th, for cryirfg out in the streets Viva la libertad ; Mueren los Realistas.' . This summary and atrocious proceeding was, I understand carried into effect on account of the jealousy which the Sala de Alcaldes feel at the installation of the military commission. He was tried by them, and they were desirous of showing their capability of prompt execution, and thereby proving that the conamissioas are unnecessary. This will scarcely be believed in England ; but in Spain such things are but too true. The poor wretch was intoxicated at the time, but refused to retract his words. More than half the garrison were under arms during part of the day of execution. The victim was hanged with an inscription of ' Por Revolutionario' tied round his neck. An execution during the holy week has not occurred before, which is attributable to the zeal of the Sala de Alcaldes. People are afraid of speaking to each other, but party exasperation is increasing from day to-day." Twenty thousand copies of the plates to each volume of the new edition of the Waverley Novels are worked off in London, and ten thousand in Edinburgh. When the project was first started, five thousand copies of each were the number anticipated ; whereas we .under stand nearly thirty thousand are sold monthly. . On Monday kit JOHN WROE, the profligate Prophet of the Israelites, or Modern Jews, who has ob tained so scandalous a notoriety at Ashton, passed through Huddersfield on his way to Sheffield, attended by a garde du corps of about 40 persons, male and female, but prin cipally of his bearded brethren, a great number of whom were furnished with musical instruments, and played be fore him through the town ! The prophet travelled in a splendid car, drawn by a mule, richly caprisoaed. The brethren and sisters were pedestrians. Two baggage carts followed in their train. We find that the procession reached Wakefield on Monday, went to Barnsley on Tues day, and to Sheffield on Wednesday, at which list place it was said to be the intention of those deluded creatures to abide. We trust that the seducer, Wiwi:, will be closely watched.—Leeds Mpcury. We believe we may announce with certainty that Opposition to the LOWTHER nominee in this county has been decided upon, though we are not at present authoriz e d to name the candidate who will be brought for ward along with Sir JAMES GRAHAM. We understand the LOWTII ERN have already taken the alarm, and are concerting measures for upholding their interest. It is understood that Sir JOHN LowritEa. will retire, in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, and that Lord Low- THER will be nominated in his place, along with another Tory, if one can be found to fight the family battle. In Carlisle, it is said to he the intention of the LOWTHERS to try their luck with two capdidatcs,,,Colonel Lusttircc ton and Sir Anotruys Da,bayNß!.g, K•p-in-lavi of the late Sir JAMES GRAHAH, of Edmond Castle. There can b e no doubt but that they will be opposed by Mr. How.% RD And another Reform candidate. Is it not time the good people of Carlisle were preparing defeat their enemies?

The King reviewed on Sunday some corps of the National Guards in the court of the Tuileries; he was every where received with enthusiasm. Cries of " Long live the Poles!" were once or twice heard. The following are extracts from the Journal des Debats of Sunday : The news from the north is of the highe.t liven's% The war has recommenced upon the Vistula, and the Poles are conquerors! The corps of General GeiF mar and General Rosen are in full retreat ; 6,000 killed or wounded, 6,000 prisoners, fifteen cannon, standards, muskets, &c., are the results of the memo rable day of the 31st of March. The Polish Generalissimo had crossed the Vistula on the night between the 30th and 31st of March, and by a bold manceuvre falling by surprise upon the army which was in observation upon the line of Praga, he beat it hack upon the corps of General Rosen, which was, in its turn, overwhelmed, and driven upon that of General Geismar. All the Russian positions were carried by storm. The Polish General bad at first detached upon his left General Uminsky, to observe the reinforcements of the Imperial Guard, which were advancing on that side. Marshal Diebitsch, in his head-quarters of Sienica, thus finds himself cut off by the Polish corps, which is marching on the line of the Bug to meet him, through the Palatinate of Augustowo. On the Ist of April the Poles overthrew again the remains of the divisions of Rosen and Geismar. An officer, who set out from the camp on the Ist of April, at half-past one o'clock, and arrived at five o'clock at Warsaw, announces that upon his depar ture they had made even during that morning 2,000 prisoners, among whom were many General Officers; they had likewise taken six cannon, and magazi'nes and muskets. Whole battalions laid down their arms in the battle of the 31st of March ; perhaps this is the first time of such an occurrence in Russian regiments.— What demoralization must exist in their ranks! Glory to the Polish army ! Glory to the heroic defenders of the independence of their country ! They have paid sufficiently dear for liberty to pre serve it. With what joy Europe will open to them her ranks. While the ,, e great events are passing on the banks of the Vistula, a violent insurrection broke out on the 28th at Wilna.—(Here is given the extract we published yesterday from the Berlin Gazelle of the 2d inst ) Thus we have Lithuan'a almost entirely under arms; and 15 days have scarcely passed since the Russian Imperial Guard traversed it, marching upon the Vistula. What tedoubled energy the victories of the 31st and the Ist must infuse into the Lithu anian insuri ection ; and what confidence the news of this insurrection must spread in its turn in the vic torious ranks of the Polish army ! _ We shall now leave the Official documents to speak for themselves; recitals like these require no commentaries. We shall only add, that authentic letters from `Warsaw of the evening of the Ist inst. assure us that the bulletins written in baste, so far from exaggerating the success of these memorable days, do not perhaps represent them as great as they were in reality. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. " WARSaW, APRIL I.—The Commander-in- Chief having learned that Marshal Diebitsch had divided his forces, and only left a small corps of his army to observe the capital, took the resolution to pass with a pea' part of his troops to the right bank of the Vistula. After having previously sent Gene ral Uminski towards Ostrolenka, to keep in check the corps of General Sacken, and the Guards who were advancing there, he quitted Warsaw during the night of the 30th ult. and attacked at Wawer the corps of General Geismar, who were there in trenched in very strong and advantageous positions. \Vhile the advanced guard of the Polish army was engaged in combat with four regiments of Russian infantry, General Rybinsky appeared with his di vision on the enemy's right, attacked it by storm, and carried at point of the bayonet all its redoubts and intrenchments—he destroyed one entire regi ment, forced another to lay down its arms, took three cannons, two standards, and drove the enemy into a precipitate retreat. In this combat, which lasted more than two hours, the brigade commanded by Colonel Romarino particularly distinguished itself. The enemy forced to quit very advantageous positions, which were guarded and fortified since the 191 h of February, retreated to Milosna, where it attempted to make a stand, but was compelled to yield under the fire of our infantry, which crossed it from both sides. As the enemy was returning towards Minsk he received fresh reinforcements; he then made many attempts to maintain good positions, which the ground presented to him : but all resistance on his part proved useless. Our troops pressed him vigorously, and he did not stop till at Dembewielkie, where he rejoined the corps of General Rosen, which occupied there a military fortified position. It was then five o'clock in the evening, when the re sistance had become more obstinate. The combat lasted till ten o'clock at night. Our artillery occu pied the position of the centre, our tirailleuis fired from both sides ; the fire was lively and well sus stained; but after a contest of some hours, the enemy was routed, his position abandoned to our troops, and he fled with precipitation. His loss was very considerable ; it is estimated at 2,000 killed, and as many wounded. Many officers have fallen, among others the Colonel Commandant of the Wilna Regiment. We have made 6,000 pri soners, for whole battalions were forced to lay down their arms, and we are at every instant hearing that during the present day additional prisoners are hourly bringing into head-quarters. " We have taken 12 pieces of cannon, a great many waggons of atnunition, and a good deal of arms. The regiments of Faucheurs (scythe-men) having demanded arm, we have assigned to them those left by the enemy on the field of battle; they w 4 tit to seek them, and are returning armed with muskets. The combat having lasted until ten o'clock at night, r.nd the army being fatigued after more than 20 hours' hard marching and fighting, it was impossible to p►•rsue the enemy. " Nevertheless, the effects of this combat promise us immense results; for the General-in-Chief, con formably to the plan which he had so happily con ceived, proposes to attack the dispersed canton ments of Marshal Diebitsch, and to separate him from the line of his reinforcements. We hope that this bold military operation, so well and ably com bined, will lead to important results, and assure a complete victory to the noble defenders of liberty and national independence. " The President of the National Government; Prince Czirtoriski ; M. BecryzNowsky, member .of the Government ; and Count Malachowski, ter for Foreign Affairs, have accompanied the Cot mander-in-Chief since the commencement of the affair until nightfall, and after having shared his dangers, they have been witnesses of the triumph with IA eh he crowned this memorable day." The following is the letter of the Generalissimo, written from the camp of Dembewielkie, the 31st of March, at ten o'clock at night. (Dembewielkie is four-miles (German) from Warsaw, and one from Minsk ) " TO THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT. " Before I inform you of the important events of this day, I must premise, that as the army has fought and marched during the whole day, it is impossible to collect all the particular reports so as to render a full account of the affair. Forced to postpone this duty to a more leisure moment, I hasten to commu nicate to the Government the general result. " This day the advanced guard of the national army precipitated itself upon the corps of General Geismar, which occupied a strong► position at Wawtr. After a combat of two hours, this corps was beaten and pursued upon the road to . Minsk. Every where as the enemy, aided by fresh reinforcements, which he continually received, wished to profit by the po sitions which this road so often presented to him, his efforts only drew upon him additional losses. Fi. nally, the whole corps of General Rosen united at Dembewielkie, endeavoured to stop us; but the battle which we fought there ended in the entire defeat of the enemy, and the carrying off of all his positions. " During this day, 5) glorious to the Polish arms, the enemy lass suffered a considerable loss. More than 5,000 or 6,000 men of his have been killed and wounded, as far as we can judge at this, moment. " Among the prisoners are General Lewandorski, and a great number of superior and other officers. We have taken two standards, fifteen pieces of cannon—of which a part have all their harness— fifteen waggons filled with ammunition, and some thousands of muskets. " This ♦ictory is the more advantageous for the Polish arms, inasmuch as it has not been bought on our side by any very considerable loss. This is at tributable to the surprise of the sudden attack which we made—an attack which we followed up through out the day with the greatest vigour. Many of the enemy's battalions were cut to pieces on the field of battle, others were made prisoners in a body. Being about twenty hours on horseback, it is impossible for me at this moment to furnish a more complete report. I only pray of the Nations) Government to order a solemn service, to thank God for having deigned to shed his blessings upon our arms. " The Commander in Chief, SCRZYNECKI." WARSAW, APRIL 1, FIVE O'CLOCK IN TIIE EVEN ING.—An officer, who lefthead-quartets at one o'clock this day, by order of the Commander-in-Chief, brings to the national Government the news'of fresh suc cesses which have this day signalized -the devotion of our heroic army. The enemy made a new at tempt to resist the vigorous attack of our troops; after a furious combat they were again driven in re treat. The enemy's loss is considerable; we have now 2,000 prisoners, among whom are many officers of rank; among others, the General of Artillery, Czeczerin, six pieces of cannon, and many waggons of ammunition. The national Government are going to send their secretary to head-quarters, to bear to the Commander-in-Chief the cross of commander of the military order of Poland. BERLIN, APRIL 2.—The news spread some days ago, of an insurrection in Lithuania, is this day con firmed by letters from Memel and Konigsberg. The Lithuanian nobles gave liberty to their slaves, and distributed arms amongst them. The Russian au thorities had only time to ca►ry away their chest, and to fly into the Prussian territory, which has been re iigiously respected by the Lithuanians. The following is an extract from a German Paper respecting the late affair of Poland : " BERLIN, Aram s.—The bold and skilful attack made by the Poles on the 31st of last mon:11 on the Russian army at Grochow, has produced a brilliant victory. The. corps of General Geismar, and as later accounts .state of General Rosen, have been defeated With great loss, and Skizynecki's, which were on the Ist at Minsk, have ad.. valved to Siedlec. The accounts which since yesterday hive in succession been received here, still farther increase Vie result of this victory. The Russians are stated to have lost 12,000 men and 23 pieces of cannon, besides five standards, a great quantity of arms, baggage, ammunition, &c. A Russian Major-General and four aides-de-camp hive been mule prisoners, and are brought to Warsaw. Part of the National Guard of that city went out rejoicing, with a musical band, to meet the victors returning from the field of battle, with a numerous convoy of prisoners. " In order to obtain a distinct view of the strategical importance of this enterprise, we must wait for farther in formation as to the situation of General Uminski, who is opposed to. the Russian Guards, and respecting the insur rection in the ancient Polish provinces. " An unauthenticated report states the Grand Duke Michael to bs marching back upon Lithuania at the head of 4,000 of the Guards. Nothing precise has as yet trans pired with regard to the insurrection in that province. It is reported that a central Government has been established there, at the head of which is the Castellan, Count Plater. A circular of his fell into the hands of a Russian Marine officer, who immediately communicated it to the Russian authorities; but at the same tints the Lithuanian Priests gave the signal for the rising, and a number-of Polish ' officers made their appearance." Extracts of letters received from Memel, dated 30th March, 1831: ‘• There have been serious disturbances in Russian Po land—the whole country being in arms, and the Russians have been, in many instances, murdered; the rest have fled to Prussia. Upwards of 100 were yesterday here in the most miserable condition." " This place was all in confusion yesterday evening owing to some Cosssaek Guards coining heme to seek pro— tection. It appears, on the frontiers, about fifteen miles from Memel, the Russian Poles bad risen in a body, killed the chief of the police and all the soldiers they could meet with, and plundered several of the inhabitants. It is feared that the same has taken place at Polangen. What will be the end, should it continue to spread, is impossible to say." The news of the defeat of the Russians by the Poles has excited a greater sensation in the City than any event which we ever recollect to have occurred, not excepting those of the memorable three days of July. The victory is looked upon, indeed, as a sort of miracle—as a special interposition of PROVIDENCE on behalf of a suffering and oppressed people, whose courage and who•e patriotism, under the most disastrous circumstances, have long gained for them the admiration and sympathy of the whole chi lised world. Henceforth the palm of bravery must and will be given to the Poles, who have achieved a victory only equalled by those of the Greeks against the countless hordes of Persians that sought to overwhelm them. Th ere are some doubts as to tl e extent of the defeat which the Russians have suffered, but that they have been signally defeated no one entertains the least doubt. The question now is, what will be the effect of the triumph of the Poles upon the conquered provinces by which the vast do minions of the CZAR are surrounded? For our part we should not be surprised to hear of insurrection in his Asiatic territories—while a declaration of war against him on the part of the Turks and Persians is not at all improbable. It is said that Finland has already risen, and there is no doubt that the people of Lithuania are in arms..-llforning Herald City Article. _ fashionable t our i st - women pursuit m a y t h ey all succeed ! t n f , le l , :%%liing their d aug h ters to every m are a rAnkoestv.woini hisetcmo n o tsi b unbe o lni We heartily wish that every man-hunting mamma may get for'her man-hunting daughter a Marquis, and that that Marquis may be, what such cavaliers generally are, a swindler without a sixpence, without a character, and with another wife, or half-a-dozen !
