GERMAN PAPERS.

BERLIN, APRIL 22.—Our State Gazelle contains
he following article :

FROM THE RUSSIAN HEAD-QUARTERS.

" APRIL 1-I.—Field-Marshal Count Diebitsch
transferred his head-quarters on the 10th, to Siedlec,
where the whole Russian army is now unEted. The
enemy bad avoided the attack at all points, and the
badness of the roads continual to make rapid move-
ments impossible; and as such large masses of troops
could not find sustenance in a country already ex-
hausted, the Russian Commander judged it best to
effect his union with the corps of Generals Rotes
and Pahlen 11.

" This has been done, and the operations will be
now re-commenc,d.
" On the 14th, the first division of grenadiers at-
tacked the enemy on the let bank of the Lieviec,
and drove him to the other side, with a loss of 300
prisoners and as many killed and wounded.
" To-morrow we shall be able to give more de-
tailed accounts of the whole course of the Russian
operations."
The State Gazette contains also news from War-
saw, to the 17th, of whelt the following is the sub-

stance :
" On the 14th, a letter was read here from the
General-in-Chief to the Governor of Warsaw, in
which he says that, in ease he should have to go to
a greater distroce in pursuit of the enemy, he shall
depend on the firmness and bravery of the citizens
of Warsaw, and was assured that, under the con-
duct of General Kruckowiecki, they would defend
the city to the utmost against any hostile attack."
After this letter was read some of the principal
persons addressed the ci•izens, who declared they
were ready to exert themselves to the utmost.
The head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief,
which on the 7th were still at Siennica, were en
the 14th at Jendrejow.
The last official report from General Skrzynecki
is from that place and of that date; it begins with a
particular account of the events of the Ist of April,
and of the advance by way of Minsk to Siennica,
and then proceeds to the action of the 10th near
Iganie, and ascribes the victory to the Poles, esti-
mating the loss of the Russians at about 5,000 men,
of whom the half are prisoners.
The Russian 98th Regiment, which consisted
after the battle of 460 men, is stated to have been
cut off from the army, and to have been obliged to
surrender with its officers and baggage. The General
estimates the loss of the Poles at 400 men.
Of the unsuccessful attack of our troops upon
Siedlec, our journals give us no particulars, con-
tenting themselves with observing that in Siedlec,
which the Poles could not take, there was all the
Russian heavy artillery, arid a strong garrison.
The Polish head-quarters were still a Jendrejow,
beyond Kalazin, on the way to Siedlec. In the
Russian, as well as in the Polish army, frequent
movements took place, and a decisive battle was
daily expected.
The Russians taken prisoners near Siedlec were
not brought into Warsaw, but kept at Praga, where
they are employed in the entrenchments.
The Russian post had not arrived at Memel on
the 17th. There were no further accounts of en-
gagements between the Imperial troops and the in-
surgents, but the latter continued to receive rein-
forcements, and a corps of them, of 8,000 or 9,000
men, had collected at Derbeau, from which place it
was said they intended to make a grand attack.
It was also reported that the Samoglians expected
large reinforcements from Te!schen, on receivng
which they thought to enter Courland, and, if pos-
sible, get possession of Liebau.

FROM THE RUSSIAN HEAD-QUARTERS.
APRIL 16.—According to the last accounts the
speedy passage of the main army was to be ex-
pected in order to lead to a quick termination of the
war. All the preparations were made for this pur-
pose, when from the accounts of the great strength
of the enemy's troops that had marched out of Wor-
saw, it seemed probable that the decisive blow
might be struck against them. The Field-Marshal
therefore proceeded on the 4th of April, with the
Ist corps of infantry, the 3d corps of cavalry, the
Lithuanian corps of the guards, and the greater
part of the corps of grenadiers, towards Zelechow,
and pushed forward his vanguard against the enemy,
who every where retreated to before Latowiez,
where the Zwillerback and the marshy grounds near
it form very difficult defiles. The main army
would have followed this movement had not
the great difficulty of procuring subsistence obliged
the Commander-in-Chief to bring it nearer to
its supplies, for which purpose it was concen-
trated on the 10th, near Lucknow, and an advanced
guard, under Prince Gortschakoif, pushed for-
ward to Sloczek, which joined the army again at
Denbe. The enemy proceeded, by forced marches,
parallel with the causeway towards Siedlec; and
General Seiwcrs sought to check this movement
with the brigade of hussars and the Lithuanian
Regiment of Hulans under his command. When
the Poles had, about noon, approached the Mucha-
wiec, they attacked, in close column, General Rosen.
The Russian cavalry remained near Iganie, on the
left bank of the stream, to protect the retreat of
General Rosen's vanguard, which was at Jagnodna,
on the causeway. The third brigade of the first
division defended the bridge over the Muchawiec,
on the Serolzyn road. On the approach of the van.
guard, a part of it was detached, under General
Faesi, to take the enemy in flank. The action con-
tinued till seven in the evening; several charges of
cavalry, and repeated attacks with the bayonet, pro-
tected by the artillery, checked the attack of the
enemy, anti compelled him to retreat. The Russian
troops took up a strong position, and erected batte-
ries to command the bridge. As the Field-Mar-
shal could not suppose that the enemy would again
attempt the passage, on the following morning he
directed the main body of the army towards Sied-
lec; the Poles, however, did not accept the battle,
but retreated in the night of the 10th towards
Kuluszyn and Seraqua, and the vanguard followed
them immediately to Mingosch. General Thieman

pied Kosk, and General Ougrumoff was to occupy
Winsgraw, and maintain the communication with
our left flank. General Umienski retired upon the
2d with his corps towards Pultusk, and General
Sacker' was ordered to watch the enemy's movements,
after being reinforced by the regiments of Hulans
of
the guard. However, information was soon received
that the Poles had preserved a bridge at Staryzatn-
bel; which circumstance induced the Grand Duke
Michael to form a detachment under Gen. Bisham,
to which the corps of Sacker] also belonged, to
observe the country between the Narew and the
Bug. The detachment set out on the sth towards
Wyszkow, but did not meet with the enemy, who,
on hearing of his approach, retreated over the Bug
and the Narew, at Staryzambel, and broke down the
bridge. The object of this expedition being com-
