modifications in the tariff of customs was laid to-day be-
fore the Second Chamber of the States General.

APRIL 23.—Eighty-seven ships had already arrived at
Riga on the 18th.
FRONTIERS OF GALLICIA, APRIL 20.—We have just
heard that on the 18th General Rudiger had an action
near Rommel, on the Styr, in Volhynia, with General
nwernicki, and took about 1,000 prisoners. At the same
time the Russians destroyed the bridges in his rear, by
which he passed that river, so that his retreat may vety
probably be cut oft General Roth, with part of hie
corps, is at Kaminiel Podolsk. General Kaisaroff, with
the third corps of the army, is in Dubno. Four regi-
ments, which form his vanguard, are already in
Krzemieniec. Hence it appears that the Russian forces in
Veihynia and Podolia are more than sufficient to hinder
the farther advance of the Poles in those provinces. In
general, according to all accounts that are received from
Volhynia, the Poles do not seem to make much progress
there, as their attempts to induce the inhabitants to rise
have hitherto met with little success.

LEMBI:RO, APRIL 20.—0 n the 18th, in the morning,
we heard at our post, to the northward of Leszniow, io
the direction between Berastecko. and Dubno, a brisk fire
of musketry, which continued from five to ten o'clock in
the morning. As the thick forests along the frontier bin-
der us front seeing any thing, and the inhabitants of the
neighbouring villages kept themselves concealed, we
received the first account of this action by way
of Rudzwillow and Brody. General Dwernicki, who
according to preceding accounts, intended to remain on
the left bank of the Styr, suddenly laid a bridge over that
river in the night of the 17th, near Boromel, passed over the
right bank, and intended to advance to Dubno. At day-
break, it is said, he met with the Russian column of General
Rudiger, near Krasna. A brisk action commenced, in
which the Russians brought forward a considerable force
with numerous artillery, which compelled Dwernicki to
retire over the Styr, with the loss of 500 prisoners. The
cossacks are said to have already occupied Beresteko and
Borotnel. There are no further accounts of the proceed-
ing of the Poles. While this was passing on the Styr, the
banks of tie Bug were occupied alternately by the Russians
and Polish troops. On the 16th a Polish corps, stated at
eight thousand men, which is probably exaggerated, is
said to have passed the Bug near Pidseczna, above Krylow,
and to have advanced towatds Wludimiz. Next day one
thousand Russian cavalry passed, at Krylow, over the
Bridge laid by Dwetnicki across the Bug, and having
burnt it, returned to Uscilug, where a considerable Russian
corps, under General Dawidoff, is said to have arrived.
An account from Lemberg, of the 21st, gives farther par-1
titulars of this action. The Poles, besides a great many
killed, are said to have lost above one thousand prisoners.
The castle of Count Czatzki, at Bourne!, who had joined
Dtvernicki, is said to have been much damaged by the
Russian artillery.:
