PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

(From the Times.)
PARIs, WEDNESDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK.
" In my letter of yesterday I described to you
the silly and idle parade which crowds of pe'Ple
were making around the column in the Place Ven-
dome, and the preparations in execution by the civil
and military authorities, to prevent any serious in-
terruption of the public peace. Towards nightfall
yesterday, these crowds increased, and the military
on duty moved around the place, blocked the
avenues to its entrance, and the fire-engines were
pumped by the sappers and mineri upon one portion
of the crowd, which instantly gave way upon► the
simple application of this damper. A few persons
were knocked down in the confusion ; but none
seriously hurt or cut with sabres, as one of the Jour-
nals has reported. General Jacqueminot, the Mo-
tziteur says, fell from his horse in endeavouring to
arrest a rioter. The same official Journal announces
that Government have ordered decisive measures to
prevent a repetition of these disorders ; the hy-
draulic remedy seems to be a good one, and as the
weather has now become warm, and portions of
this crowd, in appearance, not accustomed to daily
ablutions, it has on this occasion many recommenda-
tions. All was quiet in the neighbourhood at ten
o'clock last night ; but a large body of National
Guards and two regiments of the line were parad-
ing between the Place Vendome and the Palais
Royal till after midnight. Shopkeepers were, dur-
ing the evening, however, exposed to the serious
inconvenience of suspending their business, and this
injury was it& cted by groups of persons, as far as
I saw them mostly boys, who were marching
through the streets, chanting the Parisian and Mar-
sellaise airs. . _

" At half-past six o'clock this morning, I saw
small groups of persons, apparently of the working
classes, collecting round the column, but a strong
company of troops of the line was moving back-
wards and forwards in the Place Vendome, to pre-
vent the assemblage of such a crowd as was there
congregated yesterday. The groups collected at
this early hour appeared to be of the working
classes. Some of them were, however, very dis-
orderly, and made remarks upon the soldiers, which
the latter bore with a great deal of patience. The
Moniteur still insists that there is some political
conspiracy of a party at the bottom of these tumults.
On the surface of these disturbances I certainly do
not see any well dressed persons figure. On the
contrary, this morning I ob•erved people of that
s'ation, and some of the shopkeepers of the neigh-
bourhood, go among the little groups then as,ern-
bling, and complain bitterly of their injury to trade.
There were certainly idle and mischievous fellows
congre:lating, from the virulence and indifference of
some of them to rational and well-founded expostu-
lations. The same little groups have continued in
the neighbourhood of the Place Vendome during
this day, but the civil and military authorities are
so disposed that no mischief need be apprehended;
nor have I seen any resistance offered in any of the
groups to the arrest of insolent persona when the
police occasionally interfered.
" At eleven o'clock I saw M. Casimir Perrier
drive through the crowd in his cabrolet. There has
been no disturbance in the neighbourhood up to the
hour at which I write; nor do I anticipate any.
Still, as I have repeatedly had occasion to men-
tion, the frequent recurrence of these street-tumults
produces a very unfavourable impression, and, in the
eves of many, compromises the moral stability of the
new Government. It is hoped and expected, in-
deed, by the commercial interests of the capital,
that Ministers will display the decisive spirit im-
puted to them in this morning's Moniteur, and make
an example on the spot of this puny band of agi-

tators.
" The French Government have received news
from Warsaw to the Ist instant. There had, up to
that time, been no battle. The Russians were en-
gaged in celebrating their great Easter festival (Ist
of May), and the Polish commandant was engaged
in sending to the Warsaw side of the Vistula all the
women and children of the peasantry and vil'ages.
The Poles, it appears, during the last week of April,
repeatedly offered battle to the Russians, and not
the latter to them.
" Prussia has established on her frontier a severe
cordon sanitairci under the pretext, some affirm, of
guarding against the contagion of the cholera
morbus, now unhappily introduced into Poland by
the barbarous invaders of that brave people, but
really to harass still more all the communications in
behalf of the latter.
" Austria has issued at Milan an imperial edict
recalling a certain number of proprietors who have
abandoned their estates during the late troubles, un-
der pain of confiscation. The Grand Duke of Tus-
cany has given great offence to his Royal relative of
Modena by his non-interterence with the unfortu-
nate Italian refugees, who are passing through his
territory on their way to Corsica. The suspension
of the payment of the dividends in Parma is
ascribed to the dilapidation of the resources of the
state by the insurgents last February. France is
using her best efforts to secure in Italy a general
amnesty."

" Extract from a letter, dated Madrid, May 2.
A courier has just arrived from Lisbon, bringing
the intelligence which has created here a great sen-
sation, of the arrival of a British squadron in the
bay of Lisbon.'
" A letter from Toulon, dated the 6th of May,
announces the arrival there of the English brig
Themistocles, Captain Alphon, bearing despatches
to the British Government from Malta. She was
forced by bad weather to put into Toulon. The
Syren French packet, and the brigs Zebra and
Hussar, had sailed to demand reparation from Don
Miguel. The Dordogne corvette had arrived with
despatches from Corsica; the island was incessantly
filling with Italian refuges. The brig Dassan was
under sailing orders to bring home General Guille-
minot from Constantinople. A sloop had arrived
from Algiers, with a rumour that the Emperor of
Morocco meditated a descent upon Algiers."

(From the Journal du Commerce of Tuesday.)
PARIS.—On the .sth of March last an officer
picked up, in the court of the barrack of the Mi-
niames, in Paris, a paper containing the following

ines

•
D'Orleans, Roi penaud, citoyenc hypocrite
Tu recevras bientot le prix de to conduite ;
La guillotine est scour de dame Liberte,
Demande le plutot au Pere Egalite.
The writing was recognised to be that of a young
man named Conde, the book-keeper of the master
tailor of the barrack, who had served in the Royal
Guards, and he was consequently committed for
trial before the Court of Assize of the Seine, on
the 9th inst., as having attempted to excite to revolt,
and insulting the King's person in a public place.
Young Conde owned that he was the author of
those lines, which he had dropped, by chance, in
the court of the barrack; but that he never in-
tended to use them as a means of provocation to
revolt.
The Court discharged the defendant, but con-
demned him in costs.

(From the Warsaw State Gazette.)
REPORT of the GENERALISSIMO SKRZYNECKI.
"GENERAL QUARTERS or JAYUISOW, WEAK
ZALTISZYN, AVAIL 22.
" The advantages which we have already gained
having obliged the enemy to retire from the Vistula,
the corps which had not been able to pass the river
effected that passage. General Sierawski crossed
the river at the head of some squadrons of six newly
farmed battalions, for the most part armed with
pikes and scythes, and with six nieces of cannon.
This General, who was only intended to act in skir-
mishes going beyond his orders, penetrated into
Lublin, where he found a considerable body of
forces, as it is of great importance to the enemy, and
determined, although well aware of the state of
things there, to hazard a decisive battle with the
enemy, with troops which were not at all proper for
that purpose. On the 16th of April Colonel Lag-
noski, who commanded the van-guard of General
Sierawski, encountered a very superior body of

forces at DielLyce, who were provided with artillery.
General Sierawski immediately hastened to his as-
sistance, and arrived at Dielzyco the same evening
with a part of his corps. When he was convinced
that the enemy, who were directly in front of him,
were superior in number-, he retired to the village
of Wronow, where he, however, determined to come
to an engagement the next day, which took place
accordingly, in consequence of the approach of the
enemy. During several hours the affair had no re•
stilt on either side beyond the loss of 200 or-300 men.
" Our artillery, who, with a very few pieces of
cannon, were opposed to an artillery very superior
in numbers and quality, suAnined on this occasion
their former reputation. Our infantry, who had
very few muskets, did more than could have been
expected. But the cavalry of Kalisch, in spite of
the good example of their chief, did not do their
duty. We must do General Sierawski the justice
to th dare that he left nothing untried to re-establish
good order. He effected his retreat to Kasimiercz
without confusion, to which point he took with him
an unmounted piece of cannon and 300 prisoners.
General Sierawski passed at Kasimiercz the rest of r
the night, and a part of the day following the action,
although he had boats with which he might have
passed the Vistula, and the road to Wieptz was
open before him. It was only on the morrow,
towards mid-day, when the enemy's columns, sup-
ported by the artillery, showed themselves before
Kasimiercz, that the cavalry, four pieces of cannon,
and the greatest part of the infantry, armed with
pikes and scythes, were embarked. The remainder
of the infantry, with two pieces of cannon, was
placed upon the heights and sides to defend
the entrance of the town. As soon as the
enemy commenced a brisk attack, Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Malachowski took u scythe and conducted a
battalion of scythe-hearers towards the enemy. This
attack at first succeeded, but almost immediately
a'ter Nlalachowski fell woundei with several balls,
This irreparable less both for the army and the
country threw our ranks into confusion. The
enemy enttred the town, while General Sierawski,
with the remaining part of his army, and the two
other pieces of cannon, retired to Delacoy, and then
to Borswa, at the opening of Wieptz, where he re-
crossed the Vistula without being followed by the
enemy.
" The ofticial reports of our loss have not yet
arrived, but, according to the opinion of my aid-de-
camp, whom I sent to the spot, it is estimated at
more than '2,000 mete-the greater part of whom, pro-
bably, finding them cut off by the enemy from a re-
treat, took the advantage of their peasants' dresses
tir:spreadthemselves in the villages. After these events
the corps of General Sierawski took its position upon
the left bank of the Vistula. As to the operations of
the great army, after the affair of Iganie, we should
have been able to take up our quarters at Siedlec,
but their incumbered hospitals, and the epidemic
fevers which prevail there, kept me from proceeding
to that place. Vain solicitude ! the malady had
already communicated itself to our troops by their
contact with the enemy on the•loth of April. We
have several hundreds of men sick with the cholera
morbus. The immediate measures taken will arrest
the further progress of the disease, and prevent it
from assuming an alarming character. In the mean
time our minor expeditions are productive of great
advantages."
(litre follows a detail of several small affairs, all
more or less of a nature to extremely harrass the

enemy.)
LISBON, APRIL 23.-Preparations for the mar-
riage of Don Miguel are proceeding with great
activity. 'I he Palaces of Necessidades and Queluz
are already adjusted, and the brilliant equipages are
provided. Still, however, the chosen wife remains
unknown ; but it is thought that, failing as respects
a Princess of Naples, it will be an Archduchess. of
Austria. Whatever Princess shares the throne of
Dun Miguel is to be pitied-she will be an unhappy
being.

DORSET, MAY 12.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—An aavertisement having appeared in your
Paper, purporting to he the proceedings of a meeting of
the freeholders of Dorset in London, I lose not a moment

in the most unequivocal and direct manner contradicting
that part of it which imputes to my tenantry, and by
implication to myself, the outrages which disgraced what
was intended to have been the day of nomination on
Friday, the 6th inst. Had not the influential signature of
Mr. Baring b..en procured to this advertisement, I should
have treated it as a mere electioneering manoeuvre on the
pat of the friends of Mr. Bankes, to throw some of the
odium, which the universal belief of their having em-
ployed hired bludgeon men on the day in question has
brought upon them, upon the shoulders of their opponents.
I yesterday saw and spoke to Mr. Baring on this sub•
ject, who frankly told me that his signature was not at-
tac::ed to the advertisement as a guarantee of the truth
of the statement contained in it, but as a mere matter of
form as nominal Chairman of Mr. Banker's Committee in
London.

The detail of what really occurred on the day of
nomination, has been already fully and truly stated in the
Times and Morning Herald, it is unnecessary, therefore,
here to recapitulate those facts more than positively to
deny that my tenants were in any way instrumental in
breaking the peace ; but, on the contrary, both in the
town and afterwards before the hustings, they, in common
with other freeholder', bore with exemplary forbearance
the unprovoked assaults of a very numerous body of men,
who Itad Mr. Bankes' cards in their hats, and were armed
with bludgeons, and the repeated outrageous violence of
whose conduct called for their expulsion by the unanimous
wish of the assembled freeholders of all p ,rues, hundreds
of whom are ready to come forward to prove all I assert to
be tact.

Your earliest insertion of this letter, will oblige, Sir,

A CONSTANT READER.

DORCHESTER, MAY 12.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sia,—l have just been informed that your Paper of the
10th of this month contains a serious mis-statement both
of my feelings and conduct on a late occasion. As you
have, with great care and industry, let your readers into
an error, I ant sure you will, in fidelity to your office as
an instructor of the public mind, be equally diligent to give
them a right understanding of the matter.
It is quite true that I presided in the chair, and gave
the health', first of his Majesty and then of the Queen ;
I had suggested that no healths should be attended with
the ordinary acclamations of three times three, because it
had been thought advisable by some of my friends to lay
down a precedent for getting rid of the custom at future
parties. This resolution was maintained down to a certain
period, at which hilarity oftentimes gets the better of cau-
tion; but upon a toast which struck the fancy of the com-
pany, and one, too, not given by myself, a cheer unques-
tionably was raised, but it had neither my participation
nor approval.
But since your informant has thought fit to dispute my
loyalty, I must express a regret that, in this case, and
this only, he was not present at the dinner. In giving the
health of the King, I not only enjoined respect to him as
our Sovereign, but affection to him as a man ; I did the
same when I introduced the name of her Majesty; and I
am most happy to find, upon reference to my friends, who
were then around me, that my speeches did entirely fulfil
the desire I had most at heart, a desire to give an ample
and convincing expression of my devotedness to the honour
and welfare of those Royal Personages whom Providence
has appointed to rule over us.

With respect to the independence of the borough of
Dorchester, I have merely to say that if nay public and
private character were not approved of by these very loyal
electors, I should have as little chance of representing
them as is enjoyed by your anonymous correspondent, A.B.
I am, Sir, your very humble set vant,
ASHLEY.

In many places bordering on the Rhine men-
dicity is made apparently a matter of amusement; at the
sound of a carriage agricultural labourers will leave their
work, and run whining by its side, in the hope of extort•
in contributions.
