BAMBERG, JAN. 25.-Our. Jcnirrial of this clay
contains the following Account of the progress of
Hostilities in Poland :

the I-lead-Quarters of Marshal 1 AVOUST,
4t G9lymin, Dtc. 28.
" The third Corps of: the- army,has had a very
dangerbils position for these ten days past; it was
posWd upon a peninsulappon the right bank of the.
Bug, bppositeOkunin,-and upon an islandat the con-
fluence of the tirka.and the Bug. Gen. MI ratitun,
NVith two regiments; of cavalry, , advanced towards
Potoschokow, a village which 'htid been burnt .by
the Russians after they had occupied it to. recon-•
noitre the works and observe the motions of the
French. The danger of this position was increased,
since, at. first,,we had only a. few boats by which the
troops of the third corps of the army could -be
transportethby degrees over the Bug. In the course
of the,first -eight days not more than 4000 infantry
had passed, and they maintained this,p6A• in sight'
of the whole Russian Army. At length .t bridge of
boats was formed; over. which - the whole of •the
third corps paSsed, .with their artillery, to ,:the-right
bank of the- Bug. • _ •
" The fifth corps; under Marshal- LANttes, . had
passed the Vistula, at Warsaw, and followed the
third corps •as the second line of the...army. After
the troops had -taken a convenient situation, the
operations commenced.. •
" Early on the 23d of December the - Emperor
' joined the third corps. The Russian's • were deeply
to renehed on-the right bank of the Urka, TheCorn-
mander in Chief, KAMENKOY, GeIIeraIs•BENNING-
SEN, TOLSTOY, • DOLGORUCKI, BUXHOVDEN, &C.
were at the adVanced posts. Every thing remained
quiet for a while; at-length, at three o'clock nt the af-
ternoon; Marshal DAvous'r began the attach uphn
the Rtissian entrenchments. A brid,;e was thrown over
the Uriza,•elear the place where it lads intOl he Bug,:
which, Geli. Moaniso ininv2diately. pa:,sed with his
troops, its order.to threaten the lett wing of the Rus:
sianS. The:third division, under Gen. GAUTHIER,
Whos,OCcopied the place of Gen: QUI)IN, had orders
twattack the tetede pont at Potherckow ; 'Capra
lk; P-:
RiN) Adjilia Lit ICI; 'Gen. DAvousT, Croissed Ul-ka
bark, with fifty intrepid soldiers, passed
the Russian centinels.- These fifty men kvolired
the gradual passage,' first of a.battalion, and lastly
of a whole regiment; two hours had'scal eel), elapsed
-when the Russians were driven from all their en-
trenchments. They, notwithstanding, returned W;th.
fresh vigour, with the vieW of recovering their post
tions. Both sides fought with'great'obsthtacy:, how- -
&try' by one o'clOck on the 24th, the RussianS were
repulsed with' such` a Considerable loss, that not the
least hope remained of their success, and, they re-
treated to Czarnovow, after having destroyed. the
bridge' at Pomercktm. Here they took anon her
vantageoas position upon the plains of Czarnovow,and
in that place itself, but they_Were agaipdriven:out.
They notwithstanding advanced three times .succes...
sively; but were at :length .compelled to, leave the
field of battle with the loss of a great quantity of
arnimmition, and several piedeS of cannon. There was
not a house in Czaroovow which, had not-sutfo-ed.
The Emperor remained upon guard all night, before
the bridge which had been thrown over the Urka.
The enemy now turned his attention to.Nasielsk,
where 'various other bloody, affairs souk 1 lace.—
The cannon left at Czarnovow, and-several other
pieces that have fallen into our hands within the
Vst fortnight, were cast this:year,
"On he. 24th,: the cavalry. were engaged the
whole day in the neighbourhood of NaSiclsk ; -to-
Wards the eveningi-General FR-IANT'S division came
to.their.assistance„ and compelled the enemy to re-
treat, and leave several pieces of cannon, and a num-
ber of dead, behind them.

On the 26th an attack was made,under Prince
JOACHIM upon the whole of the enemy's line. The
seventh corps, under Marshal AUGEREAdi
the left wing ; the third corps, under Marshal DA,--
VOUST, formed•the centre.; while that of-Marshal
LANNES was posted to the right. The battle was
very brisk with both the wings. Towards the-left it
began at CzarnOvow, front whence the enemy, who
fought With great Obstinacy, were driven back to,
Golymin. Marshal LANNES made severat:atiacks
upon the right: -sometimes we lost, and.soinetimes
we gained ground. 'We fought till midnight. The

.resuits of altthQse affairs are 100 pieces of cannon,
ofall sorts, and upwards of 5000 killed;

whom the Rusians left behind-thent

" The Ethperor came yesterday with his guard to
Golymin. MarAmlS INVOUgT and AIfGEREAU a're
there likewi4e. 'The Emperor and his retinue occupy
the house-belonging- the Lord Of the Manor, which
'does not contain more than three wretched aink-
moots ; and, besides this inconvenience; had :before

been plundered by the Russians. It was full of the
Wounded they had left behind them. A RUssian

Colonel died there just before the Emperor's arrival.
_ _ _

The two Marshals are quartered in two huts in the
village, when:. themselves and their whole Stair sleep,
upon straw. The kitchen is the only habitable place
in these Polish Palaces ! For want of bread we are

'obliged to bake cakes, and in broad day it is neces-
sary to have a light. "%

• ...1310T.—A serious disturbance arose on Sunday.
morning 'in the tields.*ljoining.BrubSr.vick-square,
between:a party of persons,: chiefly Irishmen, and a
body of Police Officers.- The fields in question have
been rendered a complete nuisance lately by exhi-
bltions of pugilism- during Divine. Service On the
Sabbath; and,in order to remedy it, Mr. HUNTER,
Mzigistrate, ordered Bell, the High- Constable, to
attend.,,l,Vith assistants, and take the ringleaders of
the peace-breakers into custody. The mandate was
obeyed.; and Bell, with eleven assistants, broke info
a ring, in which two men were fighting, and secured
one.of them. The rabble resisted the officers, and
rescued the man. A- serious confli&, which: lasted
ten minutes, ensued, in which many of the con.
stables,were much hurt; one of whom, it is feared,
will not' survive. the injury he received, and several
others are confined to their habitationi The mob'
drove the constables from the field, the greater part
of them being armed with bludgeons. TwO of the
offenders were taken yesterday and examined at
Hatton-Garden ; they were
.remanded,' and one of
them was charged by Trott; the officer, as being
one of the destriers who shot a soldier at Pimlico
some time since. '‘ . . .
