GERMAN PAPERS.

VIENNA, MAY S.—The latest movements of the Polish
General Dwernicki, and the final result of his incursion
into Volhynia, are related as follows, in a letter dated Lein-
burg, May 2, in the Austrian Observer :

" After the action on the 20th April, between the Rus-
sian General Rudiger and General Dwernicki, at Boromel,
in which the latter was compelled to retreat to the left
b►nk of the Styr, he crossed the river again in the night
at Berestezko, and marched to Radzivillow. From that
place he attempted to advance to Krzemieniec; but partly
the bad success of his attempts to excite an insurrection in
Vulhynia, arid partly the movements of General Rudiger,
wl o had followed the Poles over the Styr at Berestezko,
made General Dwernicki resolve to take his course towards
Podolia ; in doing which he kept close to the Austfian fron-
tiers. Accordingly, he had, on the 25th, his head-quarters
at Kolodno, not far:from the frontier. Gen. Rudiger followed
him at the distance of two (nine) miles, and his outposts
were at Wistnowice, on the road to Krzemieniec, but in
the direction of Orzechowce, towards which Dwernicki
directed his march ; the weaker Russian frontier troops
retired before the heads of the Polish columns, and with-
drew their advanced posts to Cznniowka. On that day
seventeen Polish officers and thirty soldiers, sick and
wounded, fled into the Imperial territory, where they
were disarmed, and lodged in the hospitals. In the night
preceding the 25th, General Dwernicki left Kolodno, and
marched fo Alusarowce; here he gave his troops a few
hours' rest, then continued his march, always along the
Austrian frontier, by way of Werezaki, where an action
took place between his van-plaid and the Russian Genera
Kwcetricki, who retired, though without loss, before the
superior force of the Poles, who proceeded along the fron-
tier as far as Sknielcewielkie, where they pitched their
c.insp. General Rudiger, who followed them close, was
at Kolodno on the 26th.

" As General Dwernicki found no resistance of conse-
quence in his advance, it seems that partly the exhausted
state of his men and horses, and partly the apprehension
of the Russian reinforcements that were coining up, in-
duced him to resolve, early in the morning of the 29th of
April, when lie was attacked by the Russians at all points,
to retreat fighting into the Austrian territory, between Ly.•
sieynice arid Slinieleewielkie, whether he was hotly pur-
sued by the Russian columns. The Austrian Colonel
Von Fackh, of Geramb's regiment of hussars, who com-
manded in these parts, immediately proceeded with the
nearest division of his regiment between the contending
troops, to put an end to the combat, which was immedi-
ately done. On the Colonel's observation respecting the
viol ition of our territory, General Dwernicki gave him his
yr° d of honour that he would not re-enter the Russian
territory, and would lay down his arms ; on which he was
desired to go to Klebanowka, and there encamp, till orders
from superior authority should be received. A similar
protest was made to the Russian General Laskareff, who,
with his division of cavalry, had advanced in the pursuit
of the Poles about a league into our territory, but, at the
desire of Col. Fackh, retired into the Russian territory.
"Lieut. Field-Mar.hal Baron Stretteaheim, who com-
mands in Gallicia, having been informed of these events,
sent immediate orders to Colonel Fackb, to invite the Po-
lish troops voluntarily to lay down their aims, to deliver
up their horses, cannon, arms, accoutrements, and mili-
tary effects, to the Russian General, and to have all these
disarmed fugitives conducted with an escort to places far-
ther from the frontier, till he should receive instructions
concerning them from higher authority. At the same
time the General-in-Chief (Strettenheim) took suitable
measures to assemble by the 22d of May eight battalions
and twenty-four squadrons at Tarnopol, in order with his
force to disarm General Dwernicki if he should not have
regarded the first demand made, and to chastise him for
the violation of the imperial territory. The Polish Com-
mander, however, did not wait for this, but, on the lot of
May,intimated to Colonel Facih his resolution immedi-
ately to lay down his arms, who immediately entered into
a negotiation with him, according to the orders he had
before received.

" The disat;in; of the corps and the taking away 01
all the military effects accordingly took place without delay.
Notice was given to General Rudiger to send Commis
sinners to receive the materiel, and measures were tiken to
convey the fugitives to different planes, and lodge the sick
and wounded in the hospitals. When these accoun s were
Bent away, the first detachments were alieddy on their
