day, of the 24th ult., from Warsaw, mention the fall of Lomza, an important fortified position. In fact, the Berlin letters, not always favourably disposed to accounts of Polish victories, dated on the 29th, re peat the descriptions in the Warsaw journals of these successes, and mention that the Grand Duke Constantine had retreated from Bialystock, where he had the reserve of the Imperial Guards, which he meant to establish at Grodno. Prince Czartoriski was about to leave Warsaw for the army on the Lithuanian frontier : and Riga letters announce the departure for Prussian ports, of a number of vessels which had been previously charged to bring subsistence from Livonia for the Russian army. The Poles estimate the effective strength of their forces at 70,000 men, and 30,000 volunteers. Praga was so well fortified, that the French officers lately arrived declared the position to be impregnable. Diebitsch had about 80,000 men under his command, of which 24,000 were in the province of Lublin, un der the orders of General Toll. In the north, then, the noble spirit of freemen is blueing with a steady light. One of the Warsaw papers of the 24th contains a long and severe article upon the policy of the French Government, particularly in the withdrawal of General Guilleminot from Constantinople. The last letters from the French physicians at Warsaw are very favourable as to the diminution of the con tagion of the cholera morbus, which appears to have rapidly yield to their sedative plan of treatment, and the separation of the patients into small detached and airy %N ards in the hospitals. Every thing, in fact, connected with Polish affairs, according to the intelligence received in Paris this day, is cheering. POINTE-A-PETRE, GUADALOUPE, MAY 24.-Our misery is at its height; famine menaces us ; we have no more subsistence. To avoid the extremity of distress, the Government has sent to seek Ameri can flour. We know well enough how prejudicial this step must be to our metropolitan trade, when we have more need than ever of French commerce. With this view it is decided that this flour is only to be sold little by little, and for cash, at a small profit, for ae use of the poor. In our finances we shall have a deficit of about 2,000,000 (francs). Money is very scarce, and our prospects most gloomy. Freight gets higher every day ; it is now at 18 deniers par livre, for Havre, Nantes, and Bour deaux. The price of sugars, on the other hand, constantly falls. The best quality does not sell for more than 20 to 24 francs. With money a good thing might be made here; but who has it ? Nevertheless, we have a great number of ships in our road, and more sugar than they could all con. tain. There are here, from Bourdeaux, the Elisa, Europe, Adolphe and Fanny, and Colon. We learn this instant that on the evening of the 21st, our troops carried . Tykoczin, a frontier town on the Bobra, by assault. The Imperial Guards at tached great importance to this position, and de fended it furiously. Nothing could, however, resist the Polish attack. Colonel Latigermann (General Lamarque's aide-de-comp, who lately left Paris and joined the Poles) covered himself with glow, in an attack at the head of a single battalion.-Warsaw Paper.

I1A31131;RG, NAY 30.—The Senate of Hamburg has issued a proclamation, ordering every vessel arriving from Russian ports to be subjected to q uarantine. in case of it not being provided with a dear biil of health, or in case of any suspicious cir cumstance being connected with it. Rags and skins are to be considered as more particularly subjects of attention. WARSAW, MAY 24. The State Gazette contains despatches from General Skrzynecki, dated Dlugie siedliodlo, May 17, giving an account of several advantages obtained over the Russians. The same Paper contains a variety of other articles, which, though not invested with an official character, are known to be substantially correct. According to their statements the Russian army is retreating in every direction before our gallant troops, and in a few days we look forward to hear that not one Russian soldier remains within the kingdom. Ostro- letika, Lornza, Nur, Ciechanowiec, and Stowiski, are known to have already been freed from the presence of the enemy. Diebitsch has crossed the Bug, at Granua, and the Guards are retreating towards Bialystock. Baggage, arms, and stores of every kind, to an immense amount, and a military chest, containing four hundred thousand rubles, have fallen into our hands. One of our Papers contains to-day, in a postscript, the intelligence that Tykoczin was taken by storm, by our troops, on tile evening of the 21st, after an obstinate struggle, in which Colonel Langermann is said to have distinguished himself. The cholera is losing much of its violence. On the 21st the number of patients was 107, of whom five died; on the 22d the number was 106, of whom four died. MAY 26.—An official account of General Skrzy necki's operations down to the taking of Tykoczin has been published. On the evening of the 21st our troops entered the latter place at the point of the bayonet, and dispersed the grenadiers of the Russian Guard, who attempted to defend a dyke which passed behind the city through the marshes of the Nareu. On the same day our troops encoun tered, between Cicehanowiec and Suraz, several de tachments of Marshal Diebitsch's corps, which were endeavouring to form a junction with the Guards at Bialystock. A Russian corps of 1,000 men, under Sacken, has been cut off, and is now retreating into the Palatinate of Augustewo colony, pursued by General Sierakowski. From the Palatinate of Pod -1 tchia the Russians are rapidly retreating. On the • 23d General Uminski occupied Siedlec, and a part of his cavalry was pursuing the enemy upon the road to Miendezyrzecz. Immediately after Diebitsch had crossed the Bug, he tarried his whole force against General Lubinski's corps, which consisted only of a few thousand men; and Lavine' succeeded in surrounding our brave country men, he summoned them to surrender. Ile imme diately threw himself on the column nearest him, which he completely routed, and succeeded in re establishing his communications with the main army. The particulars of this affair are not given in General Skrzynecki's report, In the Palatinates of Lublin General Rudiger ha; re treated behind the Bug, either with a view to maintain his communication with Diebitsch, or in consequence of Isis rear being threatened by the in surgents. On the subject of th e i nsurrect i on in Volhyda, Podolia, and the Ukraine, numerous re pars are in circulation, but the Government are P caut i o us of publishing such facts as they are in os session of, lest the safety of indi v id ua l s might be compromised by their indiscretion. General D..ver eticki is no longer in Galliciu, The Austrians have :sent him io Presbarg, and his officers are all to be placed in cotifinement at Olmutz. Our light ca valry have advanced some worsts beyond Tykoczin but no account has been received of the occupation of Bialystock by our troops. BERLIN, MAY 28.- 7 T.he gallant Skrzynecki has been again astonishing the Russians, by boldly out flanking the all-conquering Sabalkanski, and throw ing himself into the Lithuanian provinces, the real state of which is' now likely soon to b eco me more generally known. The public are not i n possession of the "ti rtni&on by which Skrzynecki may har e " - et 'rag 0 Jga OZ deemed himself justified in transferring the scene of war into the ancient provinces of Poland ; but the distinguished ability which he has hitherto displayed all his operations justifies our confidence in thr uccess of this present attempt. WARSAW, MAY 26.—The Warsaw Gazette says, Siedlec, which the enemy have abandoned, pre sents a melancholy scene. There is not a house which is undamaged. The Russians began, a fort n;ght ago, to send away the stores, the sick, &c., and also the heavy artillery. The enemy have also removed the whole hospital from Luckow. Thu Russians are retreating in different directions. Ow Cracowites have already advanced some wersts be yond Tykoczin, but we do not hear they have entered Bialystock. HAMBURG, MAY 30.—Notice has been given here by the British Consulate that vessel. arriving in British ports from any of the Hanseatic towns, having in cargo rags of any description, will be sub ject to a quarantine.

The debate was opened on the priority of the questions to be submitted to this Assembly. M. Pirson wished to put some questions to M. Lebeau on the letter of Lord Ponsonby ; but the Assembly decided that no question should be put to the Minister; and it was decided, after a very long debate, by a majority of 137 to 48, that the debate on the immediate election of a Sovereign should have the priority. In the course of the debate the Abbe de Haerne spoke against the choice of the Prince of Saxe Coburg, because this election would meet with no sympathy in the nation, either in a political or religious point of view. The Sovereign, he said, ought to be of the same religion as the nation, as is the case in England, France, and Germany. SITTING OF JUNE 1. The debate opened on the question which had obtained the priority—viz., the immediate election of the Sovereign. The project of the central sec tion, on the motion of M. Not bomb, was preferred. The President read the fir3t article. " The election of the Head of the State shall be pro. claimed in the terms fixed by the decree of 29th January, 1831." M. Beyts proposed an amendment to the following effect : " The Congress makes the election of the Head of the State in the following condition : " 1. That the Congress by this act by no means intends to acknowledge the necessity of receiving the protocol of London, 20th Jan., or the subsequent protocols. " 2. That if the Head of the State, who shall be chosen, shall not accept within a month, and take the oath in a fortnight, in the terms of Article 80 of the Con stitution, the election shall be considered as null and void. " 3. The election of the Head of the State shall he on the terms fixed by the decrees of the 29th Jan., 1831. " M. Beyts said the chief object of his amendment was to show to the Congress at London that we do not accept the protocol of 20th of January, nor that respecting the debt. He was in favour of Prince Leopold, but objected to the protocols. M. Gendebien spoke at some length, and with great warmth, and thought that war should be re sorted to if an inch of tl4e territory belonging to Belgium was contested. He spoke with much bitterness of M. Lebeau's conduct in producing, as the basis of the election of the Prince of Saxe Coburg, an unsigned letter of General Belliard and that of Lord Ponsonby, which is an insult to the nation, which emanated from a man who, for these six months past, had desired to bring us to a resto ration, and which contains a threat of the extinction of the Belgic name. M. Lebeau, in reply, though, as Deputy, he did not approve of Lord Ponsonby's letter, said that if his Lordship had been in favour of the Prince of Orange, and now proposed an election of Prince Leopold, his object had always been the same, — namely, to have a line of demarcation between France and Belgium. As for the loss of the Belgic name, it may happen but in two ways only ; if there should be a general war, either France will be victo rious, and we shall be reunited to France, or it will be vanquished, and we shall be reunited to Holland. Several Members proposed sub-amendments to that of M. Beyts, all which, as well as the ori ginal amendment, were rejected, and Article 1 of the project of the central section was adopted by 158 to 31. The Assembly proceeded to the discussion of Art. 2. " The Government is authorised to open the negotiations to terminate all questions relative to the territory, by means of pecuniary sacrifices, and to make formal offers with that view." M. d'Elhounge proposed an amendment ; the discussion on which was interrupted by M. Robaulx, who, referring to the • 23,1 and 24th protocols of the Congress of London, dated the 10th and 17th of May, said he would not say they were authentic, but he supposed nobody would believe he had forged them. From a cursory perusal it ap• peared to him that the Congress at London abided by the basis laid down in the preceding protocols ; and that, if the Assembly desired it, he would read them. 31. M. Rogier said that, before reading them, M. Robaulx should explain from whom he received them, that it might be know❑ what coiifideace they merited. M. Lebeau said he had heard in the Assembly that protocols were come, but he knew not whence, nor the motives of those who sent them. He affirmed, on his honour, that, since he had been in the Ministry, no notification had been made to him, and they could not attend to any protocols but such as were officially communicated to them. M. C. De Bronckere said, that M. Robaulx having told him the person from whom he had re ceived them, he had gone out of the Assembly, and Spoken to the person in question, who had told him he had received them this morning front an English man, who had ins'antly set out again for Frankfort. Some further conversation took place, and the assembly resumed the debate on Article 2, but at length the Members, being fatigued by a sitting of seven hours, adjourned. SITTING OF JUNE 2. After a long debate, Article 2 was adopted by 150 to 40, and the Assembly proceeded to Article 3, proposing to authorise the Goveinment to consent to the temporary occupation of Muestricht by a mixed or foreign garriaon (only not Dutch). M.Pirson proposed an amendment to this effect:— " In the arrangements to be made, the Government cannot consent to allow a foreign or mixed garrison to oc cupy an; Belgic fortress." The Members appearing all agreed to reject the 3d Article, M. Pirioa withdrew his amendment. Some confusion having arisen, the sitting r‘ as suspended for an hour by the President, after which the article being put to the vote, was rejected by 180 votes to 1. The 4th article, after an amendment by M. No-' thomb, was adopted and agreed to in the following terms " Art. 4. The arrangements which may be made in consequence of those negotiations shall be submitted to the Congress for ratification, and, at all events, a report on the state of the negotiations shall be made on the 30th June, to the Assembly, which shall decide whether they shall be continued." The question of the choice of a Sovereign was fixed for to-morrow. (Flom the Courrier des Pays Bas of Saturday.) WORDING OF THE DECREE. IN THE NAME OF TUE BELGIAN PEOPLE. The National Congress decrees as follows : " Art. 1. The election of the Chief of the State shat be proclaimed according to the terms fixed by the Decree of the 29th Jan. 1831. " Art. 2. The Government is authorised to commence ra,.otiations for drirr►aining all qutitiom relative t i tcrri •orial boundaries by the means of pecuniary sacrifices, and -o make regul itione in this sense. " Art. 3. The arrangement which may result from these ;egotiations shall h: submitted to the National Congress 'ir ratification, and in every case a report shall be made at -he latest by the 30th June to the Assembly, which will letertnine whether they (the negotiations) are to be conti ined or broken off. " The President of the Congress, " C. DE GERLACIIE. " The S. , cretat Members of the Congre-s, Viscount VILAIN XIV., NOTDOMB, LIEDTS, and H. DE BROUKERE." Bruisel , , June 2." THE MINISTRY. If we are to place faith in the last protocols we must soon lose the assistance of MM. Ponsonby and Belliard, notwithstanding the reception given by the Congress to the proposition of M. Nothomb, and the favourable disposition of the Assembly to elect Prince Leopold. Should the conference, however, give us patience for patience, which in our opinion, it is its interest to do, another month must pass over before we arrive at the solution which we are sure can be the only one in the prei.ent state of this country. The result of yesterday's sitting has made it more probable than ever that AL Lebeau will not retain his portefeuilles. It is even believed that his private conduct has contributed to the downfall of the pre sent Ministry. We are less likely to err in point ing out the future Ministry from among the adversaries of the Lebeau party, who are not influenced by presumption either grounded or not upon the French mania. " BELGIAN ASSOCIATION-DIRECTING COMMITTEE. " Belgians !—The late protocols convince us of the last wishes of the Holy Alliance. " The Directing Committee again feels that a duty is required of it to protest against principles which are the basis of the protocols, and against the consequences which may be the result. " It takes this opportunity of contradicting all those calumnies which have been spread under the notice of the Association, and which seem to express that the Associa tion is forming projects contrary to the order of them. " The Committee must, therefore, state that the Belgian Association has no other object than national iadependence, the integrity of the territory, and the exclusion of the Nassaus. It moreover declares that it will use all its in• fluenee to support the Constitution, the powers which it estiblishes, and the form of the Government which it has consecrated. " Brunell, June 1, 1831." PROTOCOL NO. 23 OF THE CONFERENCES AT THE FOREIGN OFFICE, HELD MAY 10, 1831. The Plenipotentiary of France, after having de clared the full and entire assent of the Government of his Majesty the King of the French to the pro tocols 21 and !2, of 17th April, calls the attention of the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Great Britain, Rus sia, and Prussia, on the means of combining the exe cution and efficacy of the last of those acts with the precautions best calculated to dispel even a pretext for an alarm relative to the preservation of general peace. The first question which the Congress has dis cussed with this view related to the time which rriight be granted to the Belgian Government, as to the definitive propositions contained in protc col 22. Considering that the Commissioners of the Five Courts at Brussels, arid the Government of his Ma jesty the King of the French, are of opinion that a moderate delay would offer the means of preparing the minds of the people in Belgium for this im portant communication, the Plenipotentiaries have resolved that Lord Ponsonby should be authorised to concert with General Belliard the previous steps which might produce the most effect in this re spect, and riot to communicate the 22d Protocol officially to the Belgic Government till after em ploying all their influence to show, generally, the ad vantages which the Belgians would reap from the immediate and frank acceptance of the basis of se paration to which his Majesty the King of the Netherlands has already completely assented. It has been agreed, on the other hand, that the official communication of the Protocol in question should take place, at all events, before the Ist of June this year, and that on that day the delay shall expire granted by the Congress at London to the Belgic Government, to place itself, according to ita evident interest, in the Fame position as his Ma jesty the King of the Netherlands, with respect to the Five Powers, by the acceptance of the laws of separation above-mentioned. The Plenipotentiaries have further determined that, if on the day fixed the Belgic Government de clares by its official answer, that it accedes to the said basis of separation, then immediate attention shall be paid to the measures necessary for the speedy evacuation of the places and territories occupied by the respective troops, beyond the boundaries assigned to Belgium and Holland. In this supposition the com mon consent of the two parties directly interested, to which the Five Courts will contribute th&r good offices, would afterwards decide the exchanges of territory and iirrangements, the principles of which were laid down in Article 4 of the basis of separation. If, on the contrary, the basis should not be accepted by June 1, by the Belgian Government, the Ple nipotentiaries have agreed on this:— " 1. That according to Protocol No. 2, an absolute rupture of all relations shall take place between the Five Powers and the authorities which govern Belgium." "2. That the Five Powers, far from interposing farther with the German Confederation than they have hitherto done to retard the adoption of the measures which the German Confederation has resolved to take, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, could not but acknowledge themselves the necessity of those measures." " 3. That the Five Powers, considering the intimate relations which subsist between them and the German Confederation, would ask the Diet at Frankfurt to give them a proof of friendship, by causing to be communi cated to the Congress at London confidential information respecting the intentions of the Confederation relative to the number and the employment of the troops which it would cause to enter into the Grand Duchy of Luxem bourg. " The entirely friendly communication in question would have no object but to enable the Congress at Lon don to prevent the uneasiness which these military move ments might excite in the adjacent countries. " 4. That if the Belgians should viol rte the armistice which they ought to observe with respect to Holland, and should attack its territory, the Five Powers with which they would thus enter, ipso facto, into a state of hostility, by the violation of the engagements which they contracted the 21st November, 1830, would have to concert the measures which they should think it their duty to oppose to such attack, and that the first of these measures would consist in the most speedy execution of the determinations indicated in the instructions given to the Commissioners of the Congress of London on January IS, which instruc tions are added to Protocol No. 10. " 5. Lastly, that if these determinations should be in sufficient, the Congress at London acting i❑ the name of the Five Powers, would agree in common upon the fur ther measures which circumstances might require for the same object. " The Plenipotentiaries have agreed that the present Protocol, which completes the disposition of that of April 17, No. 22, shall also serve to complete the instructions of Lord Ponsonby and be immediately forwarded to him." PROTOCOL. NO. 24, MAY 21, 1831. Lord Ponsonby, after receiving the artide No. 23, having thought it his duty to submit in perso n t o the Congress the state of affairs in Belgium, has been heard by the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Courts. Considering that it results from the information given by Lord Ponsonby, " 1. That the assent of the Belgic Congress to the basis of separation between Belgium and Holland would be essentially facilitated if the Five Courts consented to support Belgium in its desire to obtain, on giving an in demnity, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. " 2. That the choice of a new Sovereign having be. come indispensable to arrive at these final arrangements, the best means of obtaining the proposed object would be to remove the difficulties which would impede the accept ance of the Sovereignty of Belgium by Prince Leopold, in case, as there is every reason to belie ve , t h at Sovereignty should be offered to him, the Plenipotentiaries bare agreed to invite Lord Ponsonby to return to Brussels, and to authorise him to declare— I.'That the Five Powers can no longer delay to re quire o f t h e Belgic Goverment it, tiNnot to the Goil of O CORREPON DE NTS. Our intelligent friend " Cato" h S as totally misconceived the spirit of our remarks on Reform, in a late notice of Blackwood's Magazin e . W e merely deprecated the repetition of such a subject in the northern luminary, because it had (more than any other magazine of the day) completely exhausted its stock of Anti-Reform arguments. We looked at the subject solely in a literary light, without reference to politics. Surely " Cato" cannot imagine that The Sun, of all other papers, would ever think seriuusly of broaching any opinion hostile to Reform. the separation of Belgium and Holland, to which his Ma iesty the King of the Netherlands has already assented. "2. That, paying attention to .the wish expressed by the Belgic Government to obtain the Grand Duchy for an indemnity, the Five Powers promise to open a negociation vith the King of the Netherlands, in order to secure, if oossible, to Belgium, for a just compensation, the posses ,ion of that country which should preserve its actual rela ion with the German Confederation. " S. That immediately after having obtained the assent the Belgic Government to the basis of separation, the Five Powers would acquaint the German Confederation with this assent, as well as with the engagements taken by them to commence a negociation for the purpose of ob taining, if possible, for Belgium, the possession of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for a just compensation ; the Five Powers would at the same tin_e invite the German Confederation to suspend, during this negociation, the exe cution of the metsures resolved upon for the military occu pation of the Grand Duchy. " 4. That when the Belgian Government should have given its assent to the basis of separation, and the difficulties relative to the Sovereignty of Belgium removed, the nego tiations necessary to carry their bases into effect should be immediately opened with the Sovereign of Belgium, under the auspices of the Five Powers. " Lastly, that if this assent should not be given by June Ist, Lord Ponsonby, in concert with General Bel hard, would have to execute the in,tructions contained in 23d Protocol of 10th of May, and to acquaint the Belgic Government with the determination which the five Courts hare taken for this case by the said Protocol.

Committee-room, London Tavern, June 1, 1531. !k LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 6, 1831. GLORIOUS SUCCESS OF THE POLES!!! The cause of independence marches with giant strides in Poland—thanks to the enter prize of the daring SKRYZNECKI and his intrepid associates ! It was but the other day the Poles were threatened with fire and sword by an over whelming mass of one hundred and fifty thou sand sanguinary Russians, and now we hear that the desperate barbarians are in full retreat from the pursuit of the patriot bar.ds of Polish freedom. Truly it makes the heart glad to read and to hear of such astonishing, such glo rious a chievements by the devoted and worthy c ountrymen of the heroic Kosci usko. The very men who were doomed to destruction by the savage myrmidons despotic NICHOLAS arc now in rapid m of ot tle io ' n chasing the bloody hordes of DIEBITSCH from the polluted plains of ancient Poland. Everywhere the people are in arms from the shores of Courland to the confines of Volhynia and Podolia, and the wonder will be if a remnant of the invader's legions escape across the Dwina. Th e Polish Commander-in-Chief prosecuted his victorious march along the line of the river Narew till he had completely outflanked DIE• 1 3[Tscu the boldness and rapidity of hi s ma _ n , u vres. The success of the Poles so confounded the Russians, that they hardly knew what course to take. They commenced a precipitate retreat along their whole line, in all directions, over the B ug . DIEBITSCH crossed that river at Granna, and was endeavouring to fall back on, and form a junction with, the Imperial Guards ; but here he was disappointed by the foresight and promp titude of the Polish Gen era li ss i mo , who anti a4o, cipated Ins movements and cut. off his retreat in that direction. The Poles had successively captured Ostro lenka, Lomza, Nur, Ciechanowiec, and Stowiski, which they freed from the presence of the enemy, and defeated the guards, who were retreating upon Bialystock. Baggage, arms, and stores of every kind, to an immense amount, and a military chest, containing four hundred thousand rubles, fell into the hands of the victors. But this was not all ;—though Lomza, a most important po sition, had been strongly fortified by the Russians, it was taken without the enemy having fired a shot—so rapidly were the movements of the Ge neralissimo executed. Nor did the gallant Poles stop here—they advanced to the next strong hold of the enemy, T3loczim, on the frontiers, which they carried by storm, though desperately defended by the Russian Guards. In this bril liant affair the gallant French Colonel LAN GERMANN, who led the charge, distinguished himself in a very extraordinary manner. It is said that it was this intrepid soldier who con veyed to SKRZYNECKI the plan of campaign from General LAMARQUE and other French officers of distinction—and most nobly has the chivalrous Pole carried it into effect. In a day or two we may expect to hear some further details of the operations of the Poles, who will not fail to follow up their advantages with spirit. The retreat of the Russians must be most disastrous in the extreme, for they are flying before a victorious army in the f►ce of a peasantry every where in insurrection, and goaded to revenge by the recollection of the cruelties so mercilessly inflicted on them. The following are extracts from Papers re ceived this morning. Other accounts will be found elsewhere : WARSAW, MAY 26. General Skrzynecki's detailed report of his ope rations from the 12th to the 23d or May describes more circumstantially all the transactions in chief, particulars of which have already been published. The latter part of this report relating to the later operations, of which little has transpired, is in the following terms :-- " On the 21st, at day-break, we continued our pursuit of the enemy towards Tykoczin. I sent the division of General Gielgud, with the cavalry of General Skaizynski, to advance to the road be tween Tykoczin and Bialystock, and thus to cut off the columns retreating to Lithuania, while I myself advanced in the meantime on the road to Tykoczin. But the enemy had already retreated beyond the frontiers of the present kingdom of Poland ; only his rear-guard was on the left bank of the Narew. About four in the afternoon the bead of our column approached Tykoczin. I ordered Colonel Langer mann immediately to attack the town and the bridge leading to the right bank of the Narew. This river divides at Tykoczin into two arms; a long dam, in tersected by nine bridges, leads to the opposite side, and forms one of the most difficult passages that is to be met with. Colonel Langermann led the attack at the head of 300 men of the Ist regiment of Ya gets, supported by a battalion of the 2d regiment, with great bravery, and his horse having been killed under him, and his uniform twice shot through, he was the first to rush upon the bridge, sword in hand. The enemy, who defended it obstinately, had not time to shut the gates, so impetuous was our attack. Though the bridge was partly damaged, and it was necessary to advance on single beams, our soldiers got possession of it at once, constantly led by Col. Langermann, and the officers who encouraged them by their example. The enemy was driven farther back on the dam; the three principal bridges which he defended with the same obstinacy were succes sively taken, and the whole difficult passage so speedily executed by the valour of our troops, that the enemy could not complete the destruction of the bridges which he had commenced. With the aid of the Artillery and Yagers, he defended the last bridge till the evening, but in the night he was com pelled to leave this position also, and thus the con test ended on Lithuanian ground. The troops that defended Tykoczin, were of the corps of the Grand Duke Michael, and consisted of two Yager Regiments of the Guard, a division of Finland Yagers, three Regiments of Cavalry, and a brigade of Artillery. Our loss is 22 killed and 70 wounded. The army particularly laments the loss of Lieutenant Kruczewski, who fell while fighting with great valour. " While I was advancing to Tykoczin,General Skar zynski, according to his orders, rapidly approached the town of Choroszcz, but the enemy had already sought protection beyond the Narew, and his regi ment of Cuirassiers, which covered the retreat, on perceiving the 2d Regiment of Hulans, forming our vanguard, avoided coming to an action, and galloped over the bridge. Two cannon of the battery of Msjor Bohm defended the bridge from being burnt till the evening, answering the fire of mme than ten guns on the opposite bank; but at night the enemy advanced to the bridge, and set it on fire. Whil e this was passing in the main army, Gener a l Lubi enskt, in his position at Nur, constantly observ e d th e main army of Field-Marshal Diebitsch p oste d i n t h e m ovement, c o i v n e i y e I S v a i es obi g d leccsevdhoto retire to t h e B ug, and, in con sequence of our passed that river at Granna on 21st May. General Lubienski sent detachments in different directions to cut off the enemy's communication, and got possession of the magazines at Bransk and Ciechanowiec, in which place he took prisoners above 200 men of dif ferent arms, including a staff officer and six subalterns. " Thus the national army, by ten days offensive operations, and with a force very inferior to that of ihe enemy, drove the Russian Guards beyond the frontiers of the kingdom, which they had burdened as long as there was no apprehension of danger, took in different places 600 prisoners, among whom is Colonel Schamont, Aid-de-camp to the Grand Duke Michael, and many officers of rank, besides about 800 sick and convalescent at Lomza. In many place the country people took and brought in soldiers, with their arms and horses. Besides this a great many magazines, which the enemy had formed in the rear of the army, a quantity of bag gage, &c., fell into our hands. " But our most important acquisition is the fortifications about Lomza, which the enemy had executed with great la bour, and has abasl cloned without firing a shot, and which will now serve to defend us against him. It was only by the rapidity of their retreat that t Guards could escape a defeat; but it must b acknowledged that their infantry fought bravely with as in sonic of the skirmishes. By this movement the national army has freed some districts, obliged the Field Marshal to retreat with his main army ..cross the Bug, and lastly having entered the terri tory, which has been so long incorporated with Russia, it has opened a communication with our brethren, whose insurrection continues to spread, and made it possible to afford them assistance. The joy with which we were received by the population is beyond description. Not only within the boun daries of the present kingdom, but also in Lithuania, the citizens and peasantry have clearly expressed their interest in the common country and their wishes For our success." (Here follow the names of officers and soldiers who have distinguished themselves.) The village of Modzell, from which the report of the Generalissimo is dated, lies in the road between Sniadow and Tykoczin, nearer to the former place, FRONTIERS OF POLAND, MAY 26.—1 t is reported that the Russian Guards have returned over the Narew, and that the Polish Commander-in-Chief has been thereby induced to remove his head quar ters back to Lomza.

The election of the sixteen Scottish Peers winds up the appeal of the KING to his people. Throughout the kingdom the elections are now all closed, and we need scarcely add, that they have secured the triumphant passing of the Reform Bill through the Lower House by a majority of nearly, if not quite, two hundred. The country, therefore, from one end to the other is just now busily celebrating the return of the Reformers, by dinners, balls, breakfasts, &c., in the full and perfect conviction that the question is already virtually carried, and that nothing but the usual Parliamentary forms are now requisite to bring it into ac tive operation. When once this is accom plished, the effects of the great healing measure will be felt in every department of the State ; there is no grievance so oppressive or so frivo lous that they will not reach in some way or other ; the thousand vexatious monopolies, cle rical, political, commercial, and otherwise, will be rigidly inquired into ; in fact, a purer and more enlarged system of legislation will be brought to bear on the resources of the country, which are still ample, still flourishing, and which have only been " cabined, cribbed, confined," because they have been unwisely dis posed of. Though there is no denying that the present amount of taxation is enormous and oppressive, still even in this case revision is more necessary than curtailment. A judicious and impartial arrangement of the system will produce more beneficial effects than an immediate, sweeping abridgement. We are far from implying by this that no reduction of taxation is necessary, we merely contend that an equable distribution is quite as indispensable, if not more so. In house rent, for instance, it is notorious that the most flagrant injustice prevails ; that the middle and lower classes are, generally speaking, extravagantly over charged ; while numbers of the higher classes are let off, comparatively, with a mere trifle. In not a few instances the palace of the Peer is rated at a less sum than even the simple unostentatious dwelling of the tradesman, for no other reason that we can make out, than that the one is able to pay the tax, and the other feels it a most grinding enormity. The major portion of the Crown Lands is another case in point, which benefits the wealthy few to the detriment of the needy many. It is to nuisances like these—and they branch out into endless ra mifications—that we confidently expect the Re form Bill will put an end.

We sincerely trust that our Government and that of France will call Austria to a sharp ac count for the gross breach of neutrality, with respect to DWERNICKI and the gallant Poles who sought refuge in Gallicia. Both Aus tria and Prussia should be compelled to give up their shares of ancient Poland. But, perhaps, the day of retribution is not far off. Till Poland be restored to her ancient limits, there is no chance of a last ing peace in Europe.
